MINERVO 120: High Shadow

"I brought it!"

After arriving at the hospital, Paul immediately kicked through the door of Abbas's room while shouting loudly, making Isabella and the Doctor surprised, his right hand raised high, he said, showed the tiny bottle he held to everyone in the room. "The antidote! I brought it!"

Isabella tried to endure her immense happiness, with a faint smile and said, "Geez, you've been a long time, haven't you?" Isabella giggled lightly. "Just looking for a tiny bottle, for hours. I'm getting suspicious, maybe you've been in prostitution all this time, making us wait here for a long time?"

Upset at Isabella's vague chatter, Paul ignored her and immediately approached the female doctor who was standing next to the woman.

"Please! Save my friend!" Paul thrust the tiny bottle at the Doctor in a hurry.  "I believe you, as a doctor, can save him! I beg! You're the only one who can do it!"

Seeing Paul's expression so earnestly trusting him, made the Doctor so moved, only this time he was treated like that. Totally touching the recesses of his heart deeply.

"I-I can't be sure if I can or can't save your friend" said the woman doctor, jostling at Paul, so agitated. "But I will try my best so that you can chat with him again, although I'm honestly not too sure of this."

"It's okay!" Paul quickly replied to the Doctor. His eyes were wide open, as if showing his immense confidence in the ability of the woman who served as the Doctor in handling patients. "I'm sure! You can do it!"

After saying that, Paul and Isabella were asked to leave the room, leaving the Doctor alone there to focus on Abbas.

Isabella sat in the chair provided in front of the room, while Paul chose to remain standing, his mind unsettled, continuing to hope that a miracle could emerge and Abbas could be saved. Isabella gave a small smile looking at Paul who seemed unable to calm down.

"Paul, can you sit here with me?"

"Shut up!" Paul jerks Isabella ferociously, for her, now is not the time to sit sweetly on the spot. Paul can't do that when the situation is like this. His heart was troubled and very anxious.

"When I just want to kiss you, you're so stingy, Paul." seduced Isabella, trying to comfort Paul from his anxiety.

But unfortunately, Paul's mood was not very joking. That's why, BUG! Paul immediately hit the wall very hard to cause a considerable rift.

"Can you shut up?" paul said, with eyes bulging, jaws twitching, and muscles tightening, his attitude was very intimidating to Isabella. It surprised the woman.

"W-Wow!" Isabella couldn't help but be shocked this time. "Your face looks scarier than usual, Paul." Isabella got out of her chair and approached Paul. Then, casually, Isabella squeezes ************Paul so tightly. "But geez, when it's this angry, but why is 'your junior' even tense like this, Paul?" Isabella giggles. "It's okay, if you want it, I can give you this beautiful body. As long as it can hold your mind, I'm willing to do anything for you."

Slowly, Paul pulled Isabella's hand which squeezed her vitals and stared intently at the red-haired woman's face. "Don't think you can fool me, Isabella" Paul said in a low voice. "From your gut, you're not like the usual Isabella, it feels like there's something you're covering up, right?"

Isabella raised her eyebrows, surprised at Paul's strange words. "Hm? Why am I this?" Isabella licked her own lips wildly. "Oh, or don't you know that I really want you?" Again, Isabella giggled crisply as she gently stroked Paul's chin with her lentic fingers. "Geez, you're so sensitive, aren't you? I'm so scared of you."

"Not that," Paul said steadily. "You're hiding your sadness from me right now. You act like you're not worried about anything, but from your eyes, I know that you've been crying for a while. Your smile just isn't what it used to be, it looks stiff and forced."

"Listen to this, Isabella!" paul snapped with eyes so piercing glare at the sexy woman. "You don't have to pretend in front of me anymore! You don't have to act like a woman who always seems happy! I hate people who hold back their pent-up emotions! It would only make him suffer alone!"

Unable to be dammed any longer, finally Isabella's tears, slowly came out and soaked her two cheeks. The smile that had previously continued to linger on Isabella's lips, gradually, was replaced with a trembling mouth.

Paul watched it leisurely, then he approached and drew closer to Isabella, then he gently rubbed the woman's back.

"Oh my goodness, there's nothing" Isabella shook her head as her tears continued to drip. "I feel like I'm back to my old self. Isabella Melvana is a crybaby and a coward."

"That's impossible! You idiot!" Paul responds to Isabella's words with a pressed eyebrow. "You can't go back to being who you used to be! That's the wrong thought!" Paul smiled faintly in an instant. "There's no such thing as 'back being the old me' or 'turned into a different me' because it's all just bullshit!"

"Then? How do I call it, Paul?"

"Sad and afraid it's just an overflow of emotions! And that's normal! It can happen to anyone! So," Suddenly Paul embraces Isabella's neck with his arm. "Don't be ashamed to show your sadness and fear again, Isabella" Paul said in a subtle tone. "Once in a while, you can also show off your fear like Fucking Colin, or show your sadness like Koko. If you still can't, learn from them."

For some reason, Isabella was touched by Paul's words, which made her start to smile again. But this time, it was not a fake smile anymore, but a smile that described her as being really happy.

However, that haru scene did not last long because,

BRUK!

The doctor suddenly opened the door of the room very hard with a very tense face, then his eyes widened when he found the figure of Paul and Isabella.

"Your friends!" the Doctor screamed in a gripping tone. It seems he will tell Abbas the current situation.

Paul immediately took off his arm around Isabella's neck and went to the Doctor. "What happened to my friend!? Is Abbas okay!?"

Isabella is also approaching. "Please explain everything you know, Doctor!"

As Paul and Isabella put on a frantic face at the Woman Doctor, worried about Abbas's condition, a high shadow came out of the room and the shadow approached them.

And suddenly Paul and Isabella's hair was rubbed gently by a pair of burly hands, when noticed more clearly, it was Abbas!

Abbas smiled at Paul and Isabella as his hands continued to rub their hair. "You are good children" Abbas said with a warm smile. "So don't be sad anymore."
