A Crazy One-night Stand

During the evening, Michael was sent back to the ward by a doctor and a nurse. He had an intravenous drip in his arm. Morgan rested his hand on the bed railing and asked, "Mike, how are you feeling? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" Michael replied weakly.

When Alina heard Michael's voice, she was so excited that she burst into tears. She finally heard his voice again.

Michael's face appeared in front of her.

He looked at her with a smile. "Alina, it's so nice to see you again!"

"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Alina's voice was choked with relief. Now that he had woke up, her frayed nerves could finally relax.

"No, not at all!" Michael said casually, even though it was obvious he was enduring tremendous pain all over his body.

"How can it not be uncomfortable? Have a good rest and don't talk anymore. Dr. Bill said it won't be long before you will be as good as new. You must get well as soon as possible." Alina suppressed the emotion in her heart and said with a smile.

"Alright." Michael returned her smile and turned to Morgan. "Morgan, did you quit your job?"

Morgan laughed awkwardly. "I've quit. I'll look for an internship somewhere else."

It was not until then Alina realized that Morgan had resigned from the construction site to take care of Michael.

She looked at Morgan apologetically. Morgan smiled and said to her, "I grew up in the same neighbourhood as Mike. In fact, we are as close as brothers. Furthermore, we were classmates as well. So don't fee sorry. With our relationship, I would even resign from a position as a civil servant, let alone resigning from an internship."

Alina couldn't help but chuckle. What else could she say? She was sincerely happy for Mike to have such a good friend like Morgan, just like how Rosie was to her.

Morgan and Michael joined in the laughter.

The nurses were busy securing Michael's bed back into position. After updating his medical records, doctors from the specialist team instructed the nurses to monitor and take good care of Michael before leaving the ward.

"Alina, I'm fine now. The doctor informed me that I'm out of danger after all the surgeries are completed. What's left is the rehabilitation therapy. Morgan and the nurses will be here taking care of me. You should go back to work soon!" Michael reassured Alina with a smile. The reason he asked Morgan about his resignation in front of Alina was to convince her to go back to work.

"Well, I'll stay here for two more days before going back to work," Alina replied. Her job was time-sensitive because of the plants that needed to be transplanted. However, now Rosie was transferred by the department to her team, so she could have more time off.

"Okay." Michael nodded.

Alina's phone rang suddenly so she excused herself with a smile. She went out of the ward to answer the call.

Rosie cried out in distress, "Alina, how is everything on your side? Has Michael woke up yet? Is he out of danger?" "Yes, that's right!" Alina smiled and nodded.

"If so, could you leave the hospital and come back to the department for a while?"

"But I promised Mike to stay in the hospital for two more days."

Rosie said anxiously, "Alina, the plants and nursery department doesn't believe me. They insisted for you to turn up or they would not allow me to carry out the transplantation. I didn't dare to let you know because previously Michael was still in danger, but could you come to the office?"

"Okay, I'll be there immediately!" Alina frowned. The plant and nursery department was really making things difficult for them. They've agreed long ago that it was fine as long as it was anyone from their team. However, now they changed their tune and insisted for Alina to personally contact them. Aren't they just finding fault with Rosie?

Alina hung up and returned to the ward. Before she could say anything, Michael interrupted her. "Alina, thank you so much for taking care of me during this time. If you have something urgent to attend to, you should go, but don't forget to visit me at the hospital everyday!"

"Okay! I need to monitor the transplantation process. I'll come back as soon as I can!" Alina glanced at the IV bag and asked Michael, "Mike, do you have anything you crave to eat? I'll buy it for you on the way back!"

Michael shook his head. "No, I don't. Be careful during the transplantation process. Safety first!" ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
