PLAKK...
A hard slap landed smoothly on Aster's right cheek. So loud that slap to the point of making Aster's face look to the side. Who else would have done it if it wasn't Marta.
"You're just a fucking carrier. You better get away from Nathan's life, if it wasn't for you, Brother Cousin wouldn't have been hurt this badly!!" Martha forgot all her emotions.
PLAKK!!
Marta was about to slap Aster for the second time, but this time was held back by Aster. The woman did not let Marta slap him a second time.
"Neither blame each other!! You think all this misfortune is my fault entirely? No!! If you want to blame, just blame the bastard, dig his grave and maki him."
"You?!"
PLAKK..
Aster slapped Marta very hard, not just once, but twice. Aster was tired of hearing all his chatter. His head was already dizzy, and now it was getting dizzy from Marta's speech.
"You better shut up and don't talk anymore!! Don't make things worse." Aster then sat in the front seat of the waiting room.
Everyone who was there was only capable of silence and no one could speak. Even just to calm Aster. And it turns out Aster is tougher than they thought.
Zhoumi approaches Aster then pulls the woman into his arms, convincing him that everything will be fine. Gavin and Rio joined them. And hugged Aster.
All they could do was pray for Nathan's safety. Nathan has already been in this position, he can get through it, and they are sure that this time Nathan will also be able to get through it.
Cklek...
Their attention was distracted by the sound of the door being opened from the inside. A middle-aged doctor came out of the operating room and approached them. Aster immediately stood up and approached the doctor who handled her husband.
"Doctor, how's my husband doing?" Ask Aster without much ado.
"Mr Xiao is in critical condition. He lost a lot of blood. And it just so happens that the blood stock in this hospital is very limited, and we need a few bags of blood."
"What's his blood type, Doc?" Now it's Cris's turn to make a sound.
"AB-O ,"
"Please take my blood, Doc. Coincidentally my blood type is also AB-" replied Zhoumi.
"We need two more blood bags. And the blood must be immediate, for Mr. Xiao's safety depends on those bloods."
"I'm AB-" All eyes are on Marta. The woman looked at Aster seriously.
Marta grins. Makes Aster feel bad. "I can give my blood to my cousin. Just so you're gonna follow my laden."
"Say, what's the load?!" Ask Aster coldly.
"Leave a cousin sister and go as far away from her life as possible. If you can do it, then I'll give her my blood. Hows it? Impas not. And all those decisions are now in your hands!! Leave the cousin sister or let her die!!"
Aster clenched his hand. This time he can't be selfish because Nathan's life is more important than anything. It's better that he's hated by Nathan than that he's gonna have to lose Nathan forever.
The woman closed her eyes and took a deep breath. His pair of hazel eyes opened again and looked at Marta seriously.
"Alright, I'll go as far away from his life as possible!!"
"Moon//Aster!!"
Aster smiled looking at the four men."Everything will be fine, one day Nathan Oppa will understand if what I do is for his good. It's the only option I have. Because his life is more important than anything."
"The wise choice. You better go now."
With a broken heart. Aster walked away leaving everyone. This is the best. This is all Aster can do for Nathan now. It was always Nathan who sacrificed for him, and this time let him sacrifice for Nathan.
"Uncle, someday I will definitely return, not just me, but both of us!!"
-
His left eye is slowly opening. The aroma of the hospital that was so distinctive immediately burst into his sense of smell. Next to his hand held his head that seemed to want to break. Then his gaze swept, all white with complete medical devices.
"I'm still alive." He mumbled softly.
The open door distracted him. Some people seem to be approaching him. It's all there, but where is he? Where is the beautiful figure who has always accompanied him? He began to fear and worry.
"Cousin brother, are you conscious? You finally realized, do you know how anxious and fearful we are!!" A woman's voice was in her ears. But it was not the voice of the woman that wanted to hear.
"We're glad to see you're okay."
"Where's Aster?" A question came from his lips.
Everyone was silent and no one spoke. They were confused as to how to answer Nathan's question. Should they tell Nathan the truth or not.
"Aster, dia~"
"Away!!" Marta interjected quickly, now Nathan's gaze was on Marta. As if asking for an explanation from him. "Yes, he's gone, he left you when you bet his life. She's selfish, she's gone because she's no one to be a widow if you don't make it."
"You lied!!"
"I'm telling you the truth, Uncle!! She even went with a man who picked her up. She..that woman betrayed you!!"
"LIED!!" rio shouted with a high tone. Rio approached Marta and pushed her until she staggered back. "You! You made Aster Noona go. You made him leave Uncle Nathan. You're the one who made them part!!" Rio shouted full of emotions.
Rio wiped away her rough tears. "Uncle, Aster Noona left because she loved you too much. He left because he didn't want you to do anything. You're critical and lacking blood. Only the blood of Uncle Zhoumi and this Devil matches your blood." Rio took a breath and paused in his sentence.
"She's willing to donate her blood as long as Aster Noona's gone. Because you want to stay alive, Aster Noona finally agreed to her terms. He's the one who made Aster Noona go."
Marta shook her head. He tried to explain Nathan. But it feels impossible. Nathan couldn't possibly have listened to her explanation.
"Sister cousin I~"
Nathan snatches a firearm tucked behind Leon's clothes. With emotion Nathan fired his shot at Marta, and the bullet lodged in her stomach. Everyone was shocked, including Marta. Marta did not expect Nathan to shoot her.
"Because I want you dead!!" Martha lost her consciousness. The woman finally collapsed unconscious.
Don't want to cause any big problems. Zhoumi immediately raised Marta's body. He had to get treatment, and Marta had to survive.
"Get all of you out, and leave me alone!!"
There's no answer. Everyone walked out leaving Nathan's room. Nathan told himself in the room.
"CRKKHHHH!!!"
Nathan yelling. Vaporize all his anger, disappointment and emotions. Nathan closed his left eye and a speck of clear crystal flowed from his eye patch.
So great was the sacrifice that Aster had made for her. Just because he wanted her to survive, Aster willingly carried the burden and wounds. What can Nathan do now? Searching for? Where should he look for her? Which country Aster went to Nathan didn't know.
All Nathan can do now is wait, wait for the woman to come back by herself into his arms.
- 6 Years Later
The man clenched his hands tightly. His handbooks were bleached due to his overly strong fist pressing down. Then, before long the sound of impact sounded quite loud. A clash between a cold wall and a hard fist earlier.
Blood started to flow slowly but surely from between the open fingers. He doesn't care. Nathan just stared coldly at his innocent fingers .
Then, his body fell down. His eyes turned blank in an instant. He did not care how much pain in his hand because now he cares how to get rid of the pain in his heart.
Pain in his heart.
Even the famous psychiatrists, famous doctors could not heal his wounds. The wound that was originally a small tear was now enlarged. Coupled with some dust that is likened to an increase in pain into the wound.
Six years have passed. But Nathan still can't find Aster's whereabouts. Where the woman is right now even Nathan doesn't know. For 6 years Nathan had no news of him at all.
When should he wait? Waiting for his love to return to his arms.
-
With a hot day. A beautiful woman with long hair, seen at an international airport. After six years, he finally returned to the country where he grew up, Korea. Not only alone, a little girl walked beside him.
"Mommy, are you going to take me to see Daddy?" Ask the little girl so enthusiastically.
The woman who was called 'Mami' then nodded while unraveling a big smile.
"Yes, and we're gonna give Daddy a big surprise, it's his birthday, and Mami wants you to be a special gift for him."
"What kind of person is Daddy, Laurent?"
The woman stopped her steps. He put his index finger on his lips.
"Handsome, well-established, cold, arrogant but very warm and loving. Your dad wears a black object in his right eye. An incident made your Daddy lose one of his eyesight."
"Wow, does that mean Daddy looks like a character in a comic that Laurent reads a lot?"
"Hm" the young mother nodded.
"Laurent couldn't wait to see her soon."
"We'll see him soon, honey."
-
Nathan got up from his seat and walked towards the glass wall beside his desk. Next to his hand rested on the wall, while one of his hands he put it in his pants pocket.
Six years have passed. Nothing has changed with Nathan's appearance.
As handsome as he was, Nathan still looks like a 25-year-old, despite his age of 38. And Nathan has to thank his baby face for making him look like a young man under 30.
Suddenly his gaze was seized by the existence of a little girl who was walking back and forth down there. Curious about what the little girl was doing, Nathan came out and approached her.
"Hey, son." Nathan greeted the little girl who raised her face. A handsome man in a white shirt, gray pants and a Vest matching his pants stood before him.
"What are you doing here? Why are you alone? Where are your parents?" Ask Nathan. The man knelt down and aligned his height with the 5-year-old girl.
Seeing this little girl in front of him made Nathan's heart tremble. Especially when looking at her eyes and pretty face. Hazel's eyes and lips reminded Nathan of someone.
"Is this Uncle Nathan Xiao?" Ask the little girl who must be Laurent.
Nathan squinted his eyes and then nodded. "Yes, that's Uncle's name. But how do you know Uncle's name?" Nathan asked curiously.
Instead of answering Nathan's question. Laurent even sprang into his arms. To Nathan's surprise, he reflexively returned the little girl's embrace.
Warm...
That was the first impression Laurent felt when Nathan returned his embrace. And Nathan felt an unusual tremor as the little girl hugged him very tightly.
A pair of Kiki levels suddenly stopped in front of Nathan. Nathan raised his head and his left eye widened to see who was standing before him.
"She was so happy to finally meet her Daddy." Say that woman with teary eyes.
"Aster?!"
"Oppa, we're back~"
-
Seriate.
