CHAPTER 15
"How did he manage to end up in this state?"
"Err,see this man is the owner of a company that makes different kinds of gadgets and stuff so he got impaled by mistake by a long shaft. He was quite away from his home and there weren't many people there and so we decided to carry him here."
"Your relationship to him?"
"Eh,to be brother-in-law. That girl there is his fianceè."
If Sagittarius hadn't been used to this gag she would have choked on her breath. But as it was,she was pretty much used to it. Something happens and they ask for their relationship the answer was a simple,"Oh we are gonna be getting married." Though that hadn't been needed before. Leo was going to murder them when he woke up.
Leo's face was blanched and for a moment Sagittarius had thought that all hope had been lost. But then the doctors said that he was alive and his healing was astounding. They had already become aware of his healing factor. The gash had almost sealed and colour was slowly returning to his face. Sagittarius had outright refused to leave his side until it was absolutely needed to keep up with the "girlfriend-in-distress" act. Atleast that's what she had convinced Aries of. Secretly she was worried that he might never wake up and drift away without her being there.
It is said that one learns to appreciate something's worth when they lose it.
Sagittarius and Aries hadn't thought how much the thought of losing Leo could affect them until now. They had become quite close in the one year of partnership and suddenly they couldn't imagine a life without each other. Of course none of them would remember it if the Wheel Of Zodiac 2.0 so wished for them to. They would just return to their normal lives without the problems of the organization.
Sagittarius and Aries waited impatiently outside the ICU. They would have to give Leo sometime to recover they knew but it did not decrease their worry,nor did it decrease the urgency of the mission. Sagittarius and Aries took turns in pacing on the corridor,waiting for the doctors to come and announce that Leo was awake. This bomb blast was something they hadn't foreseen and this had led to disastrous consequences.
"You know,making a hole in the floor wouldn't be useful."
Sagittarius looked up to see a man with his eyebrow raised in what seemed to be amusement.
"Well excuse me for being worried for my boyfriend."
"Well worrying wouldn't help. People die everyday."
Sagittarius looked at him in disbelief. Was he mental or something?
"I beg your pardon? This is a serious thing you are talking about and any man with any ounce of humanity would understand what I was feeling."
"Well my philosophy hun is that,worrying makes you suffer twice."
Sagittarius looked at him blankly. Who the hell did he think he was?
Aries frowned.
"Who the hell are you? Our loved one's life is in danger and you are busy making jokes?"
Aries was wondering whether Sagittarius would kill him on sight for ruining her favourite quote. Either way,if glares could kill,the man would be a smouldering pile of ashes right then and there. But before she could start uttering her string of death threats the man smirked and disappeared. Just like that. Just here and then gone. Strange.
Sagittarius gazed in shock at the place where he had been standing for a long time. Aries got up from his seat and was going to the spot to investigate and try to track him down somehow when the ICU doors opened and a doctor stepped out to inform them that Leo was conscious.
Sagittarius snapped out of her daze and rushed into the ICU with Aries close behind. Leo was awake and was sitting up. They heard the doctors marvelling over his fast recovery and also how the head of Rene Incorporated had an unknown fiancee. Aries would have a field trip of hacking a lot of accounts(and brains) to stop the news from leaking. Leo would kill them.
Aries closed the door behind them as Leo cried out,"What the hell happened?"
"Well a lot like hell,anyways,"Sagittarius replied sitting on the chair by his bed.
Leo rolled his eyes.
"Long story short you got impaled on a wooden beam,passed out due to blood loss,got carried here to the hospital. And there was this creepy dude who kept spouting nonsense in the waiting room,"Aries said before Sagittarius could start an overly exaggerated account of what had chanced.
She realised that and rolled her eyes at him. He stuck out his tongue in reply.
"Children,"Leo muttered, shaking his head.
Sagittarius gave him a death glare which he ignored.
"Also Leo, Sagittarius is your fiancee."
Leo nearly fell out of his bed.
"Wait WHATTT?????"
His expression was priceless. He was the embodiment of pure shock.
Sagittarius started laughing.
"It's cute how you are more concerned about me being your fiancee than the creepy stranger in the hallway,"she pointed out.
Leo blinked at her.
"Excuse me but dying is much more preferable than to have my reputation destroyed."
Sagittarius raised both eyebrows.
"Men and their reputation."
Aries gave her a look.
"I am a man and I do not obsess over my reputation."
Sagittarius returned the look.
"You do not count."
Leo was still panicking over what could happen.
Aries sighed.
"Leo don't worry,I will set things right as fast as possible,now calm down. We need a game plan."
Leo was about to yell something but stopped and instead said.
"Let's get the hell out of here first."
Sagittarius frowned.
"You sure you are strong enough to do that?"
Leo rolled his eyes.
"Yes my dearest fiancee."
The three of them started laughing at that.
No one noticed the man watching them from the window.
