*Shiver*
Alex was walking on the stairs and suddenly shivered out of nowhere. His body felt cold and he broke out in cold sweat. He slowly makes sure others do not find out about his abnormality turned towards the elevator direction.
'What was that?'
He could not help but say that to himself, This feeling came out of nowhere making him feel cold all over his body, This is a strange phenomenon and definitely a supernatural one.
Before he could ignore it as body sometimes does that shit but he is not normal nor people around him are, So he was sure there was something amiss going on.
The first suspect of his is definitely two plagues walking in this city, A rare specimen named Protagonist but thinking how he handles both of them they should not be in a condition to do anything.
So another one will definitely will his dear financé Belladonna, She might be pulling strings in the dark as this is all just game to her, There is a high chance she was doing this to spice up things.
But Alex did not; it might be the case as though it seems logical for her to do this. She is the kind of person who would rather like to do it personally and watch as her prayer struggles in the net she weaved than to be standing far and shooting her shots.
That's why he was so nervous about that "thing" dwelling in the elevator, He was sure that thing was targeting him. There was no proof of it but his instincts were yelling at if that was the case.
"You okay?"
A soft sleepish voice came from his arms making him halt his thoughts. He looked at his little cat still pretending to be asleep even though she asked him a question.
He shook his head and ignored it as if he fell for her "trick", she might have had a sense of his worry and nervousness, So she became alert and asked him, which is quite big of a deal considering how much she loves to stay in his arms.
She risked all that fearing he might be in trouble, Which is a way more maturity one expects from 1 day old, So he just patted her head with his hand close to her head.
"I am okay, It's just futile worry."
Alex said as he sped up his pace, Well it was time to meet that Milf he was eager to meet for quite some time. After all, Gloria was supposed to be his first milf but then came Helen and then Isabella out of nowhere and he did not pay much attention to her.
And now that he has a chance he wanted to establish and finalise the connection with her, Gloria is also not a simple woman like every other heroine, She has her own secrets, Few of them not even revealed in the plot till the end.
It was either because the author wanted to keep that sense of mystery around her for the sequel or he just forgot about it. He believes it's the latter as that stupid author not only did not create a sequel but most of the time forgot even her name.
So Alex is really curious to see women ignored and forgotten by authors just like Helen.
"Alex!! Are you sure you want to go there? Isn't there is that crazy- Mumm!!"
"You mean beautiful mature hot women, Grace?"
As Alex was about to enter through the door of the 3rd-floor entrance, Grace came running towards him but surprisingly she was not huffing at all as if that run on stairs was nothing to her.
After she came close to him, she grabbed his hand off his which was about to open the door and asked in a very concerned voice, She was worried for him and their future.
Before when they were here, Alex was nearly abducted and forcefully married by that old crazy woman on this floor VIP ward. She was afraid it might happen again.
Last time they were able to run off because they became lucky and that women did not pay much attention to them, but that is not always the case. What if she succeeds this time? Didn't that mean she had to give up on Alex?
She would rather die than to accept that reality, So she wanted him to stop here and not enter the ward being completely ignorant about the fact that the moment he stepped into the hospital "that" woman put them in her surveillance.
She did not know that but Alex did, So when she was about to call the one of the 7 most powerful women in the country crazy, He knew how thin ice she was walking on.
He quickly reacted and blocked her mouth with his other hand to prevent her from saying something she couldn't take back, As for Xiao Bai in his arms he was holding?
Well, She was still there like a koala attached to his body without any support from him, She just hung herself to his neck while her body was sticking as close to him as possible.
"Grace, I expected stupid like this from someone like her not you, You've seen how powerful she is right?"
Alex after saving a day, Got close to Grace and whispered to her. She while speaking did not forget to look at Liza who through a struggle of hiding her panties came behind them.
At first, she ran ahead thinking if she reached there first no one would get a chance to come behind her and see her embarrassing condition but she quickly found out she was not as agile as she thought and others quickly caught up to her.
So she had to stop and let others pass her and come behind them, though Sandra was still slow so she was not the last person to come here.
"Hey, what do you mean by that? I have 4 PhD and you know that, I come nowhere to the word stupid."
As soon as Liza reached the 3rd floor, She heard Alex's word emphasising "her" in his words looking at her, So she was clearly offended.
She is a smart woman who had 4 PhDs, On average having 2 is quite a rare and exceptional feat and yet knowing all that Alex still called stupid forced her to complain about it.
"I know you have a high IQ but your EQ is questionable, I even suspect you might trade it for your IQ."
Alex did not back down, Yes so what if she has 4 PhDs? She is still the stupidest one in this group EQ wise and in the real world, EQ matters not IQ.
Enough EQ gives you the power to control over other people and with enough of it can control the world, While with enough IQ one can do the same but if there is not enough, one will be nothing but an annoyance to the average person.
"Hey, I- "
"And because of it I trust and like you unicorn, Now let's go we have to see what's wrong with Aunty."
Liza wanted to argue but as she heard Alex's words, All that argument was gone rather she was glad she was stupid in his eyes. This is the scary thing about obsession, Other person has too much power over it to influence one's emotions.
"I understand Alex, I am sorry."
Grace ignores Liza and the comment of Alex for her. She focused on the key fact and understood what big mistake she was about to make. She did not know how powerful Helen is but she knew that she was quite strong.
As she with her own eyes saw the condition of that lunatic pervert man that was bothering her before, Plus she also saw that Alex was being wary of her before, So that woman was definitely not wise to offend.
She knows this before Alex reminds her it's just the fact that women try to take Alex away from her that made her hate Helen too much, So much that the fear and caution she should normally have was ignored by her.
She just did not want that woman anywhere near Alex, Yes she knew she couldn't do this, Not only Madam Miller has a strong background but also not it appears she has quite the strength of herself.
It's just when does the heart listen to logic? All she knows is that women are trying to take Alex away from her, So resists her without thinking about the consequences.
But now that Alex reminded her, She understands that her irrational action will not only be going to affect her but also him, Which helped her realise her mistake and she apologises.
"It's nothing, Just make sure not to repeat it, Now for sure let's go, Aunty, After all, there is still an unfinished deal of yours Grace."
Alex looked at Grace with a teasing smile as he said it, Liza was standing there not understanding what kinda deal he was talking about but her face of Grace turned red in embarrassment, She could only nod to give him confirmation of it.
"Code Blue in ward 3-B ICU, Call the doctor fast."
Alex wanted to tease her more but then these words fell on his ears making him quickly dash towards ward 3-B ICU, A new separate ward of Gloria.
Others too did not waste a second and just quickly ran towards the ward after him.
(A/N : Did you know what code blue means in hospital?
