Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 739

Since when has Leon become this caring? Lying on the bed, Zayne really wished to turn to lie on his side. Due to the anesthetics, he didn’t feel much pain; he just felt uncomfortable because he couldn’t stretch his body. Nevertheless, he wasn’t hoping for anyone to understand his feelings at this moment. He attempted to move his body as he was worried if he had actually become handicapped.

Leon glanced at Zayne in puzzlement, wondering what he was struggling about. Zayne didn’t seem to be in a good situation, but Leon had no idea how to help him. The two of them faced each other while Leon stared at Zayne with an inquiring look, but he still couldn’t understand what was on Zayne’s mind.

It was only until Matthias came into the ward did the standstill between the two come to an end. Leon stood up and stared at Matthias. At that moment, all three of them were at a loss for words as an awkward atmosphere arose in the ward.

Alas, Leon spoke up and broke the ice. “I’m going to buy oranges for him. Please stay here and watch over him.”

Leon’s expression was very unnatural––he even sounded awkward. They really needed a woman at this moment. When will Heather arrive so that this awkward situation can dissipate?

Looking at Leon’s stiff posture, Matthias smirked. Then, he averted his gaze to Zayne, who looked pitiful lying in the bed. Matthias felt sorry for him but was amused at the same time. Anyway, I should let him quench his thirst first.

So, he walked straight to Zayne with a spoon in his hand. To think about it, he had never served someone like this before. He was reminded of his mother, who had passed away a long time ago. Back then, he was still young and didn’t know how to attend to others, so he could only watch helplessly from the side.

Now that he was put in a situation to serve the others, Matthias could only imitate what he could remember. He took the cup of hot water and walked up to Zayne. After all this while, the water had cooled down a little so the temperature was just nice.

Matthias looked down at Zayne. As much as it was rather awkward for two men to be in a situation like this, Matthias planned to feed Zayne the water scoop by scoop. It wasn’t an easy process. Matthias had to be extra careful lest the water would spill on the bed sheet.

However, before Zayne could finish drinking, Leon rushed in. Matthias and Zayne turned to look at Leon at the same time as they didn’t know what was the hurry about.

“Something happened outside,” Leon said while panting. He had never seen such a scene before and was taken aback.

Matthias and Zayne gazed at each other as they didn’t know what Leon was referring to. Meanwhile, Leon quickly closed the ward door and stared blankly at Zayne’s bed as if he was pondering a serious matter.

The other two didn’t understand what Leon’s expression was about, but they knew something terrible must have happened. Otherwise, Leon wouldn’t be this perturbed. It seems like the matter is becoming more complicated. What should we do now?

“We have to leave this place,” Leon said after catching his breath. He couldn’t think of a better idea; for now, that was the most reliable solution he could come up with.

“Leave here? Where do you plan to go?” Matthias asked in perplexity as he didn’t understand what Leon meant.

With a deep frown, Leon said resignedly, “We don’t have time to discuss where to go. Right now, we have to quickly run for our lives.”

There was no time to explain further. Leon was contemplating how they could move Zayne away from here as this was not an easy task.

On the other hand, Zayne was shocked hearing Leon’s words. “You better not be making jokes at this point in time. We’re in the hospital. Why should we run for our lives?”

Both Zayne and Matthias couldn’t understand what terrible things could actually happen in the hospital, so they naturally found Leon’s statement suspicious.

“You guys are so stubborn. I don’t have time to explain to you. I have to think of a way to move Zayne away now!” Leon had a look of exasperation on his face; he couldn’t even be bothered to be angry at them.

Seeing the other two looking unflustered, Leon was worried sick, but this matter couldn’t be explained clearly in just a few words.

“Calm down. You have to tell us what exactly happened out there.” Matthias furrowed his brows as he had no idea why Leon was in such a panic.

“Okay, okay,” Leon grumbled impatiently.

“There’s a medical dispute out there. A patient’s family member is attacking the others with a knife right now as we speak. We have to leave here immediately. I’m worried that he’ll bring us trouble later,” Leon explained in a serious manner.

However, Matthias and Zayne heaved a sigh of relief as they had never thought this was what actually happened. They even felt like Leon was fooling around with them.

“Just that?” Zayne asked in uncertainty.

Leon nodded. “Yeah, but it’s not a normal medical dispute.” There was a hidden meaning in Leon’s remark.

Zayne instantly got it while Matthias was still puzzled. What exactly does Leon mean?

“Then, we should leave here immediately.” Zayne agreed with Leon’s proposal. The hospital wasn’t a safe place to stay anymore and they should escape as soon as possible!
