IT WAS A FREAKING GHOST

As much as he did not want to meet Nathalia anytime soon, Aiden knew that he had to come to the rooftop and checked how the high school guy was fairing.

So despite being scared for his own welfare, he still decided to go back inside the hospital for the third time around that day.

Just like before, Aiden still chose the stairs over the elevator.

He went straight to the staircase and climbed its steps all the way to the hospital's rooftop

Due to the limitation of his stamina, Aiden had no choice but to stop over every now and then to catch his breath.

After all, manually climbing a six-story building was no joking matter. In fact, even without reaching the rooftop yet, Aiden could already feel the soreness in his legs.

It felt like it would take only a matter of time before he could get cramped legs.

It took Aiden quite sometime before he was able to reach his destination and he was already sweating profusely and panting heavily when he arrived.

He was still busy catching his breath when he opened the door in the rooftop.

When he arrived at the scene, Aiden saw that the high school guy was lying motionless on the cold floor and Nathalia was currently standing beside the other party's unconscious body and was watching over him.

Nathalia noticed Aiden as soon as he arrived because apparently, the metal door made a screeching noise as soon as he opened it.

She looked at Aiden's approaching figure with a questioning look.

"What have you done to him???"

Nathalia asked Aiden as soon as he was already near enough to hear her.

But despite her subjective question, Nathalia still had this bemused look on her face when she stared at Aiden

"Huh? I didn't do anything to him. I swear!"

Aiden replied hurriedly before he raised both his arm in the air in defense to himself.

But a moment later, he realized how silly his action would look like.

At the same time, he also realized on his own that he did not necessarily need to explain his action nor he was actually obliged to explain himself to anyone. Not even to the Queen of Darkness, herself

"Hey! Why should I even have to explain myself to you?! If there was anyone who deserved questioning, that was you. I'm the one who should ask you that question. You are not supposed to be here. So what are you doing in this place and what have you done to him?"

Aiden retorted with the same questioning look that Nathalia gave him just a while ago.

"Oh yeah! Well, about that.. Hmmm... Let us just say, I can't allow this mundie to die, at least not yet. He can't just die in vain and affect my job in the process. I won't allow it. Because he is more useful to us if he was alive than if he was dead. It would make our job a lot easier if we could use this lad to our advantage."

Nathalia replied with a nonchalant voice.

"Our job you say??? You must have been mistaken, young lady. Who told you that I would be taking any part in that job of yours??? I absolutely don't want to have anything to do with you. "

Aiden replied with a scoff but Nathalia only stared back at him with bemusement clearly written in her attractive face.

"Well, you just did hubby. Didn't you had a chat with this guy just a while ago?"

Nathalia asked with a cunning smile pasted on her ever so beautiful face

"I-I was j- ust.. I was just. Uhmmm..."

Aiden wanted to rebuke the other party but he ran out of words.

Nathalia, on the other hand, only looked at him with the same amused look that she had ever since Aiden arrived.

"Anyways! Since you already talked to this mundie, I assumed that you had also met our first target ghost already, right? Considering that this mundie was at this place to receive his treatment, that ghost would just be lingering somewhere within this hospital as well.

Nathalia added to change the topic and focused on the important thing at the moment.

"Uhmm... Yeah, I think that I already met her today."

Aiden replied to answer for Nathalia's question.

But somehow, Aiden could not help but felt weird having this normal conversation with Nathalia as if they were just talking over some trivial stuff and it was nothing worth mentioning.

While the fact was they were actually talking about a high school girl ghost!

IT WAS ABOUT A FREAKING GHOST!!!!

Yet from how the way they talked, it was as if they were just talking about some random girl and it was as if there was nothing out of ordinary about the other party.

They were taking this thing way too lightly!
