Chapter 32: Eric likes Vera

Although it was very awkward, Kaylin was forced to make the right choice, the best she thought.
"Brother Egan." Kaylin gently persuaded: "I need to check on Vera now, I'd like you to come out and help."
Egan remained silent and unresponsive, causing Kaylin to sigh helplessly. If Egan insisted, then there was no other way to accept Egan's request. However, just when Kaylin was about to leave Egan to do as he pleased, Eric appeared.
"Here's your stuff." "I took everything in the car," said Eric, placing them on the floor near the doctor's feet.
"Yes, thank you very much." The female doctor said, and immediately got to work. She opened the bag to get her medical supplies. While doing this, Kaylin suddenly stopped when she noticed the presence of two men. Eric and Egan were still standing there, refusing to come out.
"I need to check on her." Kaylin slowly chased the unauthorized person out.
Eric was startled when he understood what Kaylin wanted to convey, he immediately shook his head firmly:
"Of course not, we're not that kind of person."
"So can you two go out?" Kaylin calmly asked back. And Eric immediately replied.
"Then we'll wait outside. You do your thing."
With that, Eric turned his head to leave, but seeing Egan still showed no signs of moving, Eric had to pull Egan's hand.
"Egan, she'll be fine, don't get in the way of the doctors saving lives. You want Vera to get well soon, right?"
Referring to Vera's health, Egna suddenly calmed down, he followed Eric and walked out of the room.
"We wait outside, if you need anything, just call." Eric let Kaylin know.
"Yes, I know."
Eric slowly closed the door and received a nod of thanks from Kaylin.
...
The silence was very uncomfortable when suddenly the door to the room was opened, causing Egan to jump up from his chair. He stepped closer to the door.
"How is she?" Egan Robert immediately questioned the doctor. The person who just walked out of the room with a tired look. Kaylin was in there for more than two hours. Two hours was too long, making Egan unrelenting.
The slower Eric was also standing beside Egan, the two men focused on the female doctor.
"What's up, doctor?"
Letting out a sigh, the girl named Kaylin said sadly:
"I helped Vera shower and change clothes and check on her condition." Pausing a beat when she saw the intense concentration of the two men, Kaylin continued: "I discovered There are too many old and new wounds on her body. According to you, she almost got injured. She was raped, so I'm guessing she'll be severely traumatized after the shock. Fortunately, she hasn't been violated."
Egan clenched his fist, feeling indignant at what Vera had to go through. She is his benefactor, this cannot be let go easily. Surely Egan will make those bad guys pay dearly.
"For now, let her rest, don't make her scared or stressed." Kaylin gave her advice even though no one asked her.
"I gave her a sedative, she can sleep well tonight. But when the medicine wears off she can have nightmares. At that time, be careful not to let her do it herself. I'm hurt." Kaylin seriously reminded.
The silence is broken, everyone's endurance has a limit, no one wants to hear about the bad and unlucky things forever.
"I know." Egan finally spoke, he was done thinking. From now on he will ensure Vera's safety: "Thank you very much, Kaylin."
"Do not formal." Kaylin said with a smile, then said goodbye to go home: "Then I will ask for permission. If there is anything, contact me immediately. You should also rest, don't forget that you are also a patient."
"You can stay here and come back tomorrow." Eric suddenly suggested: "Perhaps Vera will have a fever tonight, we really need you here."
Kaylin bit her lip hesitantly, she looked at Eric with a thoughtful expression about that very correct statement. Kaylin was Silence Until Egan spoke up more convincing.
"Eric is right. We need you to stay with Vera."
"But... I still have a job at the hospital, so..." Kaylin was embarrassed to refuse, she didn't want to leave Vera alone in that situation: "I promise to be there as soon as possible. maybe when you call..."
Eric also did not want to force or make it difficult for Kaylin, so he quickly changed his mind:
"Okay Egan, Kaylin has her job, we shouldn't embarrass her."
Egan sighed in frustration, he just wanted the best for Vera. He believes Kaylin can take good care of Vera. Egan has a hard time trusting others, but during the time of contact with each other, Egan has seen Kaylin's true self, enough for Egan to trust the female doctor.
"Vera will be fine Egan, don't worry too much." Seeing that Egan was still confused, Eric encouraged him. Eric then continued:
"I'll take her home." Eric looked at Egan looking for agreement: "Everything you need is available. If you need anything else, just call."
"Um, let's just go, it's okay I can take care of myself." Egan finally agreed to let Kaylin go. He couldn't make it difficult for the people to help him. Egan believes he can take good care of Vera.
Looking at Egan's gloomy expression, Kaylin sincerely refused to refuse his wish. However, she also cannot be negligent, lacking responsibility for her work and doctor duties.
"Then I'll be here early tomorrow to check on Vera's condition." Kaylin promised, adding: "I've also prepared medicine in case Vera has a fever, it's at the bedside. Can you give her that right?"
"YES!" Egan nodded.
"Vera will recover soon, don't worry." Kaylin encouraged Egan: "You have to stay strong to be the best support for her. Vera really needs someone to stand by her after all she's been through."
"I know what to do, thank you." Egan smiled lightly at Kaylin, then turned to Eric: "For the time being, I rely on you to handle it. Now my priority is Vera."
"I know." Eric agreed: "I'll take Kaylin back to the hospital now. Anything new I'll let you know."
Kaylin then said goodbye to Egan and followed Eric to get her back to the hospital. During the ride, the atmosphere was very quiet. Seeing that Eric's mood was not good, Kaylin courageously had words of encouragement to him:
"Do you have a confide? Need someone to complain, complain, I'm always available. Maybe not give you the best advice or help you feel less depressed, but I can listen."
Kaylin added when she suddenly realized she had been too rude:
"Of course if you don't mind that."
Eric was at the wheel, and when he heard Kaylin's words, he turned to look at her. A small smile flickered across Eric's mouth. He feels good to have someone volunteer to listen to him complain about his difficult life. However, Eric is a person who doesn't complain often, he likes to keep his private matters hidden to the point where those who care about him find it difficult to reach, causing him to open up.
"I'm telling the truth." Kaylin showed a serious attitude when Eric had no reaction to her words: "I will listen to whatever you say. Don't keep your troubles alone, find someone you can trust to share it with. split. Even though I'm no one, at least I hope we can be friends."
"Thank you, I feel better hearing you say that." Before Kaylin's determination, Eric answered with the right answer. He can't be silent, it's disrespectful to the other party. Kaylin did not deserve her lack of tact and understanding. Small things but sometimes hurt others.
"What I say is so simple, yet so effective?" Kaylin asked suspiciously, "Are you overestimating me? Or are you making fun of me? Come on, Eric, don't make me feel complacent with my bad actions. If you're upset with something, I say I'm sorry. I won't say anything more."
Kaylin made a statement, then she turned her face away, hiding her disappointment. Kaylin didn't want Eric to realize her feelings.
Eric glanced over at Kaylin and he could sense the atmosphere was not good. Eric didn't want to be the cause of Kaylin's sadness.
"I'm also very honest." Eric broke the silence: "Didn't you know that sometimes a simple word is enough to make the listener's heart warm? Even though they are just small words, they create great power. And believe I went Kaylin, her concern touched my heart and I am so grateful for that."
Kaylin told herself she would ignore Eric, but she couldn't. Just out of curiosity, she turned to Eric when he spoke:
"Can you believe this?" Kaylin listened, analyzed, and continued to doubt: "If I really helped you, you wouldn't be silent. I want to be a person you can trust, but it seems I was too dreamy. mysterious."
Kaylin said sadly then turned her face to the window again. She's disappointed in herself for not being good enough for Eric.
With his acumen, Eric realized that Kaylin was feeling hurt by the brutality he created. Eric wants to fix that. In fact, Eric trusted enough to share secrets with Kaylin. He also wants to have someone who really cares and worries about him. Kaylin is a nice girl, she also suits Eric very well. And most importantly Eric has feelings for Kaylin. However, Eric has a big concern, will Kaylin accept him knowing his past or not?
"Kaylin. You really want to know?" Eric asked in an expectant voice: "Those aren't funny jokes. I just don't want to bring trouble to those around me."
"If you don't like it, don't force yourself." Kaylin emphasized in a careless tone: "I have no right to blame or be angry with you. Everyone has a choice, their own thoughts, no one can change the other, unless he or she wants to accept it. comments."
Despite the fact that Kaylin was sulking for no reason, Eric made up his mind and he will do what he wants.
"I'm worried about Vera." Eric's voice was low as he confessed the truth regarding Vera: "I feel so sad, angry, resentful on behalf of her. And of course, sympathy for Vera."
Referring to Vera, Kaylin suddenly felt a nauseous feeling in her body. She didn't know if she was jealous of Vera when the man she liked declared his concern for Vera. However, sadness is inevitable. Kaylin felt her heart sullen.
"Don't tell me you like her? Do you have feelings for Vera?" Kaylin couldn't hide her great curiosity and she spoke her mind without thinking or considering.
To be honest, Kaylin is scared of Eric liking Vera. But at the same time, she hopes that's not the case.
"What if that's true?" Eric suddenly teased Kaylin. It's not true that he is just blowing smoke to confirm if he has feelings for him or not?
"Nothing. I shouldn't..." Stunned by Eric's bluntness, Kaylin confusedly explained: "I'm just curious. Don't mind. You may not need to. answer the question."
Kaylin shyly lowered her head to look at her hands that were fidgeting. It wasn't hard for Eric to see Kaylin being embarrassed to reveal her feelings for Eric.
This awkward expression clearly requires careful consideration and should not be overlooked. And as if to be sure of his conclusion, Eric decided to launch a few more attacks.
"I like Vera." Eric said in an affirmative voice.
Sure enough, upon hearing about that, Kaylin's heart pounded once and then sank. She couldn't control her frustration and sadness. Kaylin sadly said:
"Is that so? Vera is a very nice girl. She deserves to be loved..." Kaylin didn't realize what she was saying. She just wanted to get out of the car quickly. Kaylin has a hard time confronting Eric once she finds out that Eric's crush isn't her. Unfortunately, the road to the hospital is still quite long. Kaylin couldn't just ask to get off the bus for no reason. So she had to endure it silently, trying to hide her feelings for Eric.
