It was a little over an hour before Hayden returned to the room. I spent the past hour sitting on the sofa as I fretted about what had just happened. However, it seemed like there wasn’t anything for me to worry about. When Hayden returned to the room, he seemed calmed and collected. He had a pleasant smile for me, and I found myself smiling back.
“Why did your father visit? He seemed so angry…is everything ok?” I asked and I could hear my own concern in my voice.
Hayden sat down next to me on the sofa and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. Although some trouble went down between him and the boss, Hayden didn’t seem disturbed in the slightest.
“Nothing much. The boss got mad because I snuck out of the hospital, but I told him that I’m fine now. The other gang members are quite panicked because of the accident that I had but the old man will assure them that I’m ok and that should put them at ease. It’s not a big deal, really,” Hayden said carefreely before turning to smile confidently at me.
If that was the case then I guess it’s all fine and good, thankfully so. I wondered what Hayden will do today. Hopefully he doesn’t have to go to work in his condition. I wished that he would go back to the hospital, but I wasn’t sure if we would agree.
“That’s great. What are you going to do today? I think…that you’ll recover faster if you go to the hospital to get proper checkups and follower ups from the doctor,” I suggested.
“Hmm…don’t wanna. I’ll just stay here and rest,” Hayden said lazily.
I had a feeling that he would say something along those lines. However, I still wanted him to go to the hospital no matter what.
“I really think you should go to the hospital. You know, what if something is seriously wrong? Also, I think you’ll heal faster that way. Won’t you consider going?” I asked pleadingly.
“I don’t want to sleep over at the hospital. If I go, they’ll probably force me to do just that just like last night,” Hayden muttered as he frowned.
“Then, can you just go but not spend the night there? You can always return when you’re done, right? So, please go…” I tried to convince him.
Hayden sighed loudly and ran his fingers through his blond hair, leaving it all ruffled. I stared pleadingly into his clear blue eyes as I leaned my head on his shoulder.
“Please go. Hopefully, it won’t take that long. I’ll try to have some ideas for my website ready to show you when you’re back. How’s that for a deal?” I suggested.
“Trying to negotiate with me? Not a bad try…” Hayden muttered.
“So, you’ll go?” I asked hopefully.
“Fine. I’ll go. Let’s talk about the website when I’m back,” Hayden finally agreed.
“Oh, before that. Umm…can you order Auntie to get me proper clothes and shoes now so that I can dress up properly for when I leave this room. You know…I only have revealing night gowns in the closet…” I requested with a complaint.
“Those are the most important things. Sure, I’ll tell Auntie to get some clothes for you. You can tell her the details of what you want,” Hayden replied.
