The Satan CEO's Woman: He Unexpectedly Fell in Love with Her
Chapter 32 - 32: RecognitionKim Eunji and Nathan who was injured as well finally arrived at the hospital. A group of doctors was already waiting for them.
Nathan watched as Kim Eunji was treated by the emergency doctors.
He on the other hand was brought to the radiology department to have his right arm a scan.
A fracture was seen on it and he then immediately received the treatment that he needed for a fractured arm.
"What's wrong?" Nathan asked Marco as he saw him talking with the doctor when he walked out of the door with his right arm already on a cast.
"Are you somehow related to the patient?" The Doctor whose coat had the embroidered Katakana characters on it which read as 'Honda' asked Nathan.
"I'm her boyfriend." Nathan announced which made Marco be surprised but made sure to suppress it as he's afraid that his master would be angry with him. The doctor nod as he heard it.
"The patient suffered a clot on her brain because of the impact. She had to undergo an operation as soon as possible to remove the clot. The penetrating abdominal trauma that she had on her side had also damaged her large bowel and also needed to be attended to immediately." Dr. Honda explained.
"Then let's do it! What are we still doing here?" Nathan impatiently asked.
"However, the patient lost so much blood and we needed to have a blood transfusion first before we could proceed with the operation."
"Then let's do it!" Nathan yelled at him this time.
"But Johnson-sama, our hospital had ran out of stock for her blood type." Dr. Honda explained what caused the delay.
"What's her blood type?" Nathan asked him.
"She has a golden blood, Johnson-sama."
"Bring me to the blood bank, I'm the person you're looking for."
"Johnson-sama!" Marco said in protest but Nathan stopped him as he said, "Question my decision one more time and you'll be reassigned somewhere else."
Nathan strongly disliked someone challenging or questioning his decision and he felt like Marco had abused that aspect as he had been questioning him earlier.
Marco paled as soon as he heard the word 'reassigned'.
"Kominasai Johnson-sama!" Marco slumped on his knees as he asked for forgiveness for acting in such a way.
Deep inside his heart, hi suddenly hated Kim Eunji. At first, he only found the woman annoying for disrupting his Master's daily activities. And now, not only did the woman managed to injure Nathan, she also made Nathan to donate his precious blood to the woman.
What spell did Kim Eunji cast on Nathan that made him do something like this?
But he had to swallow or be civil with Kim Eunji now because he's afraid Nathan might really send him into one of the places located on the Earth's poles to conduct some studies or trainings together with the others.
It would really be a slap to him if those trainees of the organization would see him as one of them.
"How much does she needs?" Nathan asked the in-charge right away as soon as he arrived at the testing center.
"Three pints of blood Johnson-sama." The nurse-in-charge said.
"What? That much?" Nathan was surprised as to how much blood Kim Eunji had lost.
"Okay. Try to check if I'm qualified for the donation." He urged the nurse.
Minutes later....
"I'm sorry Johnson-sama but you can't donate your blood. There's still traces of alcohol in your blood when I checked it." The nurse explained.
Nathan could not help but castrate himself.
Why did he have to drink alcohol now and why did he let something like this to happen? He should have been more alert and careful than usual.
'I'm such a failure.' He thought.
"Do you know any other people who had the same golden blood as you do Johnson-sama?" The nurse asked him.
"Hai!" (Yes) As he said that, he fished his phone out of his pocket and dialed a number. A few ring had passed and the call reconnected.
"Okasan." (Mother)
It was a good thing that Mei Johnson happened to be in the same hospital as them. She's on the VVIP ward taking after his grandmother.
***
Mei Johnson immediately rushed downstairs with a worried look on her face as she looked for her son.
Mei Johnson was a stunning Japanese-American woman on her mid-50s. Fine and small V-shaped face, high- bridged nose, long eye-lashes, thin lips, blue eyes and long blonde curly hair. She still had the perfect posture and stand as a model.
Just like Madame Mo, she had maintained her youthful appearance and looked twenty-years younger than her actual age.
If someone would say that she's Mei, the model who had left the modeling industry three decades ago, they would believe it.
Those who knew her could recognize her spot-on, too.
"Son!" Mei immediately ran towards her son and grew even more worried when she saw the cast on Nathan's right arm.
"What happened?" She asked him.
"I'll explain later Mom, but for now, someone needs your help."
"Who?"
"My girlfriend Mom." He honestly replied.
"--__--"
Mei was rendered speechless upon hearing his son's reply.
Since Kim Eunji agreed to be his lover, there's no point hiding the truth to his mother.
"Really?" She immediately asked him as soon as she recovered.
The last time he introduced a woman to her as his girlfriend was a long time ago.
She was overwhelmed with joy as her son finally found the woman whom he think was worthy to be loved and cherished. She just hoped that this one would stay and won't hurt his precious son or else she won't forgive her.
And as she looked at him, she knew that he was worried of this mysterious woman.
"Yes."
"Then let's go!"
Since Mei Johnson was not young anymore, only a pint of blood was drawn out from her which was not enough.
Having no choice, Nathan called the other person whom he knew had the same blood type as him and his mother.
The person then arrived and had the clearance to make the donation.
Because she had donated two pints of blood, she had to stay in the hospital for the night to rest.
Fortunately, the person had no other engagements for the night.
Now that they have the amount of blood needed, the operation then proceeded.
Nathan was pacing back and forth as he waited outside the operating room.
Mei looked at his son and she somehow felt happy that her son was worried of the woman. This only implied that he cared for her.
After many hours of being in the operating room Kim Eunji's surgeon walked out of the door with huge beads of sweet in her forehead. Behind her was Mr. Honda whom they had talked to earlier.
"Are you the relatives of the patient?" The female doctor asked.
"No. But I'm her boyfriend. Her family's overseas." He explained.
"We had successfully removed the blood clot on her brain. However, we still don't know how far the accident had affected her brain. She pretty hit her head hard there. Because of that, the patient's still in critical condition. On the other hand, the blade that injured her side was poisoned. Good thing we had the antidote for it and was immediately administered to her. But it still caused some damages on the internal organs near the area."
Though she delivered her explanation well, Nathan still frowned as he felt like there's more than that.
"What's wrong? Did something happened to her while she's in the operating room?"
The doctor smiled as he said, "When the patient was brought into the operating room, her pulse was too weak that it was barely noticeable. Everything was unfavorable. Personally, we thought that we would lose her. And we did."
"Did you mean she died?" Nathan asked.
"Yes...but a miracle suddenly happened. I already announced her time of death but my assistant saw her eyes opened and the monitor started to display waves on the screen. The patient is a fighter which made me think of how much she wanted to live her life. She must have wanted to be with you that badly Johnson-sama." Of course the doctor did not forget to flatter Nathan.
"Yeah. She must be." Nathan answered as he tried to process everything.
But Nathan knew that he's not the reason why Kim Eunji didn't want to die. Why? And he had no idea about the reason either.
Like what he had expected, Kim Eunji was like a walking puzzle. He could not wait to discover her truth in the future and of course that is if Kim Eunji allowed him to.
Also, he almost lost her tonight and he could not forgive himself for that.
"When will she wake up?" He asked her.
"She'll be placed under observation for the next 24 hours. If she didn't wake up on that given time, we'll announce her to be in a coma."
"Coma?" Nathan was in a daze. He never thought that the situation would turn out to be this way.
"I'm sorry Johnson-sama. We did our best. It's all up to the patient now. But seeing how she fought for her life back there, we're optimistic that she would turn the tables pretty soon." They were indeed optimistic about Kim Eunji's situation.
The doctor told Nathan about some other details but his mind was completely not there. Good thing Nathan was with his Mom who managed to take note every single detail the doctor had told them.
As soon as they left, Mei then looked at her son who was now looking on the air.
Mei knew her son better than anyone else. She knew that he was upset and was probably blaming himself for what happened.
Because of this, her heart ached for her son.
"Son. It's okay. She's still here. And she'll be fine. She'll wake up and once she does, everything will be alright and okay." She tried her best to comfort him.
"Mom, am I a bad omen?" Nathan suddenly asked.
"Why?" Mei suddenly asked. But she then realized the meaning behind his question.
This was the Nathan that she knew not the tough and tyrant CEO who was feared by his employees and business competitors.
The path that he had been walking for years now had molded him into the person with a domineering persona as his facade to beat the competition and be on top of the hierarchy.
But behind that facade was a young boy full of insecurities, worries and doubts. And it was only when he was with his mother that he would put his guard down and showed how vulnerable he was to her.
Mei hugged her son as she said comforting words to him.
"No son. Don't think of it that way. You have been my lucky charm back then... you'll always will and always will be. So don't call yourself as a bad omen when it's not the truth."
She heaved a sigh of relief as she felt Nathan relaxed in her hug. She knew that he felt better now.
"Man up! I don't want my daughter-in-law to not choose you as her husband. You're such a cry baby and a worry wart." Mei Johnson teased him this time. Upon hearing that, Nathan removed himself from the hug as he spoke.
"Mom. She's still my girlfriend!" Nathan emphasized his relationship between them to his mother.
"Tssk! Don't be too slow. Pop-up the question already. I didn't raise you to be a loser. Don't let her go son."
'But we had just started dating and we clearly don't have feelings for each other yet.' Nathan thought.
A mother's instinct would never be wrong when it comes to her children.
Mei had the feeling that the two had just started their relationship most recently. But she could already tell that Nathan cared a lot for the woman which was enough for Mei to recognize her as her daughter-in-law.
"Son love can be learnt along the way. Show her your charms. There are a lot of couple who started on a loveless marriage at first but remained married for years and were happily living together as they managed to fall in love along the way."
Nathan frowned as he heard his mother.
"Tell me honestly, can you bear to lose her?"
"No." Nathan answered immediately and Mei smiled in delight upon hearing her son's reply.
Mei Johnson wanted her son to be happy and most importantly be himself.
"Good! I'm not getting any younger. Therefore, you have to double your efforts and give me a grandson as soon as possible."
Nathan was about to protest but Mei stopped him as she said, "No. It's an order! Understood?"
Nathan bobbed his head as he didn't have any other choice but to agree with her this time.
He was hoping that she would soon forget about it sooner but he almost puke blood when she said, "Good! I'm so excited to plan your wedding. It should be grand and magical!"
Nathan knew that his mother eas damn dead serious when she had that dreamy eyes on her.
"Mom. Don't you want to know her first before you decide to marry me off to her?" He asked her as he was hoping that she would have second thoughts about it. Of course she's more than eager to know her personally but she would never let herself to be persuaded by her son.
"I trust you son. You won't choose someone to be your lover if she isn't special enough to catch your attention."
Nathan inwardly face-palmed himself.
How can he explain to his mother that the situation was not as simple as it looked like?
He still had an engagement that he had to take care of.
But choosing between the woman that his granduncle had chosen for him and Kim Eunji, he already had an obvious answer.
