Losing Consciousness
Chrissy looked confused for a minute but after processing it in her head that Arizona has no right over Vince, she regained her lost posture.
"Who are you to tell me that?" She questioned.
"Isn't it ridiculous?, You att,empted to k!ss a sleeping guy who's not yours" Arizona replied without blinking.
"He's not yours either" Chrissy replied.
" I'm just protecting him from the unwanted"
"Unwanted?" Chrissy said.
" Chrissy?" Vince's voice called out and they both faced him at a time.
"Vince!" Chrissy rushed to him, bu,mping into Arizona without bothering to say sorry.
Arizona stepped back as Chrissy sat beside him.
His eyes are opened fully.
"How are you now?, You're perfectly fine right?" Chrissy asked, feeling his temperature.
Arizona felt unc,omfortable, watching how Chrissy showered him with attention.
"I'm fine, where's mum?" He asked.
"She'll be back soon, I'm so glad you woke up" Chrissy replied, holding his hand.
Vince looked at Arizona but her eyes is directly on his hand.
The one Chrissy is holding.
She folded her palms, rolling eyes slowly.
"Are you trying to make your eyes fall out?" Vince asked, making her stop rolling the eyes.
"Go unconscious again!, Not like your consciousness will make me richer, an,aconda!" She s,pat and left the ward immediately.
"What's wrong with her?" Chrissy asked.
Vince remembered seeing her c,ry last night, she looked so s,ad and different with tears.
Tears made her look like a vu,lnerable baby and that made him wonder if she was cr,ying cos he was unconscious or cos of another thing.
Then how he ran into the ro,ad to save her during the acc,ident.
He saved her again and this time,it almost costed him his life.
"Why am I always getting involved with her since I met her?, Why am I always saving her?" He wondered inwardly.
" Vincent‼! "
That resounded in his memory.
He can remember hearing that from her last night before losing consciousness and her voice when she called his full name sounded like she was cr,ying.
*She cried for me?*
*How did she know my full name?, Is it that obvious?, Vince.. Vincent… maybe….* He thought
Even his mum never calls his full name, since he grew up to know himself as Vince, no one has ever called his full name.
Not even Blaze.
"Vince?" Chrissy called.
He kept thinking, unaware of her.
"Vince" she n,udged him.
"Huh?" He looked at her.
"What's up?" She asked.
"Nothing"

Arizona got in her car in front of the hospital and slammed the door shut.
She remembered Chrissy's hand on Vince's and scoffed.
"It looked like cobweb or something u,gly, my fingers are prettier" she said, looking at her fingernails, it was painted black.
She remembered how he called Chrissy's name first after he woke up.
"I even got h,urt because of him but he woke up and called her name?" She muttered, rolling up her sleeve to look at her bandaged arm.
"I thought he was responsible but turns out he's unbelievable" she said but when she remembered he actually saved her, she sighed.
She got her phone and started placing orders for everything she comes across, even the things she doesn't need.
She kept pouring her fr,ustration on online shopping till she got tired and th,rew her phone beside her, letting out a gr,oan afterwards.
"Miss, are you ok?" Her driver asked.
"Drive me to the institute, I need to go start work on the modern Hanbok" she ordered.

NEXT DAY, THE BANKS MANSION**
Alena entered the house with a big smile on her face, making Cassidy stand quickly.
"How's he doing?" She quickly asked.
"My Vince is responding to treatment and the wounds on his head are healing up" Alena replied happily.
" I'm so happy about that, nanny won't be m,oody anymore" Cassidy smiled.
" I know right?, Let's get you ready for school" Alena said, taking Cassidy's hand
Paulson came downstairs immediately, he's on a call.
"The hall is all ready?, Then the bride's dress?, What of the photoshopped pre-wedding photos of the couple?, Yes!, So we can proceed with the wedding this coming Saturday right?, I'll call you later"
He hung up and laughed.
" Finally my Arizona will be getting married on Saturday, isn't that awesome?" He said happily.
"You thought I was joking when I said 💯 failure?, She's not someone who can be tri,cked into anything, you know how smart she is" Cassidy smirked.
" No matter how smart, she won't have any choice but to get married to Chang-bin on Saturday once she gets to the hall and sees their wedding pictures" Rita replied, coming downstairs.
"Is my Adam coming for the wedding or not?" Cassidy asked.
" Adam will be coming back on Friday, I'll be seeing my son again after so many years" Paulson smiled, taking his sit.
" My son will surely be more handsome by now" Rita said, sitting beside him.
" I love you Rita!" Paulson said, hu,gging her.
"I love you more Paulson" she replied, hug,ging him too.
Cassidy giggled and Alena smiled as she took her upstairs.
After Cassidy took her bath and Alena helped her dress up, she sat in front of the mirror and Alena started brushing her hair.
"Nanny?"
"Yes Cassie" Alena smiled.
"You're really ok right?" Cassidy asked, looking at her eyes in the mirror.
" Why?'
"Your eyes look abn,ormally white" Cassidy replied.
" I'm fine trust me" Alena smiled to cover up.
"Actually, I once had a nanny when I was ten" Cassidy said sadly.
"Where's she now?"
" This is exactly what I noticed in her,…pale white eyes, she always told me she's ok just like you,but…..I lost her, she d,ied and then it was revealed that it's ca,ncer, I was so devastated,I still miss her till now and I don't want same thing to happen to you, I've come to love you so much, you're like my second mother and I don't want to lose you" Cassidy cried.
" Hey why are you crying?, I'm fine you have to believe me" Alena said, pu,lling her up from the chair.
Cassidy hu,gged her tightly.
"Promise me you won't di,e and leave me" she sobbed.
"I promise so stop crying right now and don't make that pretty face red" Alena stroked her hair.
Cassidy hiccuped as she tried to stop crying and Alena broke the hug to wipe her tears.
"I love you so much nanny" she said.
"I love you too Cassie" Alena smiled as she wiped her tears.
" My Adam is finally coming back on Friday, you'll finally see him" Cassidy said happily.
" I can't wait, but your sister's wedding" Alena said.
" Leave my parents alone and let them keep dec,eiving themselves, I just can't wait for dramas, I trust my crazy sis" Cassidy smiled.
Alena rubbed light powder on her face and used lipstick on her lips.
"You look prettier" she said.
Cassidy checked herself out in the the mirror and smiled
"Thanks nanny!, Blaze is coming to school today right?" She asked.
" Of course" Alena replied.
" I'll make sure to say hi to him when we cross paths" she said and hugged Alena before leaving for school.
Alena sat on her bed and sighed.
"De,ath?, Can it elude me?" She thought sadly.
