A while ago, Rudy was sitting by the bed, watching over Janet.
After she passed out, he carried her to the infirmary and patched up her wounds, but he never noticed she was holding the flower in her hand.
“She has been holding onto it all this time?”
He tried to get it from her hand, but she had closed her fist tightly and wasn’t letting go.
‘I don’t want to force it open, or I might end up breaking her fingers…’
Rudy snapped the flower from the peduncle and pulled out the remaining from the other side. Then, he used his restoration ability and restored it back to how it was before.
‘This is a blood moon flower. A beauty before it became a fruit. I didn’t want to give her something that anyone could have given her.’
Since Rudy plucked the flower before it became a fruit, it would whither in a few days.
“I only gave her this because I wanted the flower to be unique… I had no idea she would like this much. Hmm~ I have an idea.”
Rudy stopped the time of the flower and made it so that it would never wither again unless all the petals from the flower were plucked.
Rudy’s ears twitched as he heard footsteps approaching the infirmary, so he leaned back and relaxed himself.
A few seconds later, the door opened, and Judy walked in.
“Oh. I am sorry I am late!” Judy grabbed a disinfectant and said, “Let’s start disinfecting her wound first.”
She moved the curtain and saw Janet’s wounds were already patched up.
Judy looked at Rudy and asked, “Did you do that?”
“Yes.”
“Did you wash and disinfect the wound first?” she asked with a judging look on her face. “And don’t lie about it, please. Infections are nasty.”
“Yes, I did.”
“Is that so?” Judy checked the patch and said, “It’s well done, actually. Is there a doctor in your family?”
“No.”
“Then how did you…”
“Maybe it’s natural talent?” Rudy chuckled softly.
“An adult would know that there is no such thing as talent.”
“Now that’s a wild take.” Google search f??e?????ѵ??. ???
“If you have already done everything, then I should leave. I need to be at the playground. Actually, we could have patched Janet up in the playground itself, but it’s good that you brought her here. She will have a nice rest.”
“Yeah.”
“And keep in mind that just because you are alone with her in the infirmary doesn’t mean you can play doctor-doctor with her.”
“…”
“I hope you know what I meant. You are too young for that. I despise teenage intimacy.”
Judy opened the door to leave, but Eric walked in instead.
“Is Rudy here?!” he asked with a panicked face.
“Eric? What’s wrong?” Rudy got up and rushed to him. “Why are you sweating like crazy?”
“Come with me. I need to show you something!”
“Umm….” Rudy glanced at Janet and Judy and nodded. “Okay.”
He didn’t want to leave Janet behind, not even for a second, because he knew Janet could jump to extreme conclusions. But after seeing the panicked look on Eric’s face— who was always calm and sassy—Rudy couldn’t say no to him.
He turned to Judy and said, “Doctor, can you stay here until she wakes up? I will be back in a bit.”
“Okay.”
Rudy and Eric left the infirmary in a hurry, while Judy closed the door.
“Wait… how did he know that I am going to be a doctor soon? I haven’t told anyone yet…”
Meanwhile, Eric was running outside the school grounds.
“Calm down. What happened, Eric? Why are you in such a hurry? And where are you going? Don’t you have the finals once the girl’s races are over?”
“Now is not the time for that!” Eric yelled.
“…?”
‘Why is he freaking out like this? I have never seen him like this. Never. Even when I killed Paul, he was calm. That’s his specialty. So if he is freaking out when something must have happened.
Wait… did he find out that I am his father…? If that’s the case, then… I better keep my mouth shut and wait for Elena to return. I want her to be with me when we tell Eric and Erika.
However, I don’t think that’s the case. There is no way Eric could have possibly found out that I am his father. I haven’t told that to anyone, not even any of my harem members.
Of course, it’s easy to figure out if they thought about it, but it’s still not confirmed that Eric and Erika are truly my children. Maybe Elena adopted them or something? I know I am being too optimistic, but I will know when Elena returns.’
“What is it, then? You brought me all the way here where no one is there to see or hear us. Did something happen?” Rudy asked calmly.
Eric took out his phone and showed it to Rudy.
“See this!”
“…?” Rudy took the phone and saw what Eric was trying to make Rudy see.
It was a video taken from the airplane above the city.
“What’s this? I mean, I know what this is, but why are you showing me this?”
“This is a video from the same flight mom is in.”
“And…? It’s not strange for people to clip videos in an airplane.”
“It’s not a video. This motherfucker was live streaming!”
“…what the… fuck?”
“Yeah, and because of that there was a malfunction in the plane’s radar and they hit a drone. One engine is down, but that’s nothing serious. The main issue is that the plane’s tires are not coming out.
They are trying to figure out the solution and have kept the plane flying in a circle about the city. However, they are out of fuel and need to land the plane in the next two minutes— one minute now.
I don’t know what to do! Experts said there is an 88% chance the plane won’t be able to land successfully. They have already arranged three hundred ambulances and firetrucks.
Mom can die!”
