CHAPTER 18 ~~
DEENA’S POV
I opened my eyes slowly and felt so much pain but no idea, where I was feeling such pain.
I tried to move my leg but for a second I thought I had lost it because it was so heavy and quite very painful for me to even make a move.
“Anyone there!” I called out as I winced silently.
“Deena!” Ryan called out as he came into the room.
“Ryan what happened? What about the race? Did we win?” I asked curiously and he frowned and came gave me a ti-ght hu-g.
“Your in this condition and you’re still worried about the race? How do you feel now?” He asked worriedly as he broke the hu-g.
“I feel so much pain on this leg. Did anyone come looking for me?” I asked curiously.
“Your mum will soon arrive at the airport but who are you expecting exactly?” He asked staring at me and I looked away.
“No one” I said lowly.
“Deena I’m so sorry for what happened. I should have been more observant to your health status but got occu-pied with so many things. I’m so sorry, I claim to be your coach and still let you get hurt” Ryan said remorseful and I shook my head.
“Stop apologizing. I know it’s not your fault. You tried your best to make this championship a successful one but I guess it’s not time for me to win victory yet. Forget about it” I said almost in a whisper.
“If you’re worried about the rest of the team, then you shouldn’t be. A backup have been sent. They will be finishing the race of the race” He informed and I nodded.
“I’m back to zero just like always” I said sadly and Ryan placed in his hand on my shoulder.
“Don’t get disheartened, you’re only getting started. You still have a long way to go, just concentrate on recovering so you can bounce back on your feet. We’re in this together” He comforted.
“I want to rest now” I said politely.
“Okay I will leave you to rest but ain’t you hungry? What would you like to eat?” He asked curiously and I turned to the other side.
“I’m not hungry yet but I will let you know when that happens. Please Ryan don’t let anyone come into my room except reporter Cho if he happens to be here” I said calmly.
“Who’s reporter Cho? Don’t tell me it’s the reporter Layla had a scandal with? But why will he be here?” Ryan asked curiously.
“I have to discuss something with him and about my medical report please send it to my email. I don’t think I’ve got the nerve to listen to it” I said slowly.
“Alright, I will get to it. Do you nee-d anything else?” He asked and I nodded negatively.
“Okay,I will take my leave now” Ryan said and went out.
Tears roll down to my ears immediately he closed the door behind him.
I lost the race and Tristan as well. Why couldn’t I just hold on for some minutes to win the race? I questioned in my head as tears roll down my ears.
Not for anything, I really wanted to win the race because Tristan had high expectations of me and I really hoped we would make things up for the things I said to him. I said in my head still sobbing and just then someone came into the room.
I didn’t bother turning to see who it was because I was too exhausted to do that.
“Are you crying?” Someone asked from behind and the voice sounds very familiar.
That’s Tristan’s voice. I gasped in my head then turned around slowly to avoid making my leg hurt even more.
“How do you feel Deena?” Tristan asked calmly as he sat next to me on the bed.
“Tristan I… I didn’t win the race” I stuttered still sobbing and he wiped off my tears.
“Stop crying. Who cares if you didn’t win the race, I’m grateful already that you’re still breathing. Come here” He said with a smile as he helped me sit up then he hu-gged me gently.
“You’re not upset?” I asked curiously and he caressed my hair.
“Thank you for making it out alive Deena. You might have lost in this race but all hope are lost as long as you’re still breathing but let’s not talk about that. You’re here to recover so I’m hoping you do it properly” Tristan smiled placing a plastic bag on the table next to my bed.
“What did you get for me?” I asked excitedly and he brou-ght the things out from the plastic bag.
“You nee-d to eat something to regain your strength and bounce back on your feet. I brou-ght you some chicken soup and dumplings” He said opening the plates and I smiled widely.
“Where did you get this?” I asked curiously and he looked at his phone.
“I went around looking for Chinese restaurants. It took me hours to find one. You should eat” He said placing the chopsticks on my hand.
Deena you’re the patient here. Don’t waste this opportunity to get closer with Tristan. I uttered in my head then dropped the chopsticks.
Tristan picked it up, looking at me.
“I don’t think I can raise my hand. I feel so much pain all over” I said slowly and he smiled.
“You would have just said so. I would gladly feed you myself” He said and held the chicken soup on his hand.
“You have to eat well, don’t waste even a drop” He instructed cutely and I smiled.
Tristan fetched some into the spoon and blew on it to lessen it hotness. He fed me but I was too mesmerized so it spill on my li-ps.
“Silly girl, I said don’t waste any drop” He said wiping it off gently from my li-ps with his thumb.
“Tristan about what happened in Hainan” I cut in and fetched another spoon and fed me. I gulped it down, holding his hand stopping him from fetching another spoon.
“I know you had your reasons and it’s probably because of your dad. You didn’t want to put me in a ti-ght sp-ot that’s why you did that. I un-derstood everything the moment I saw you on the plane” He said and I smiled.
“Thank you for un-derstanding” I said and he continued feeding me.
“Don’t let it bother you, it’s all in the past now but I will only let go if you do one thing…” He pursed and I looked at him anxiously.
“Anything” I cut in swiftly and he smiled.
“Let’s make it official. Be my girlfriend Deena” He said with a soft smile.
My heartbeat skipped and bu-tterflies filled my stomach.
“What’s going on here?” Ryan asked seriously as he came into the room.
“Ryan meet Tristan, my boyfriend” I said sharply with a wide smile and Ryan walked backwards in shock.
“Boyfriend? Since when?” He asked staring at me. I could notice he was not happy about the news.
“Since now. I’ve agreed to be his girlfriend” I said excitedly.
“I see… Congratulations then. I will take my leave now, I think I disrupted something. Excuse me” He said and went out quickly, closing the door behind him.
“Now that’s weird” I uttered trying to un-derstand Ryan’s reaction.
“There’s nothing weird about that but I’m glad you finally agreed to be my girlfriend. I will make it my first priority to always make you happy” Tristan said lovingly and I leaned forward with my eyes closed. All I heard was Tristan’s chuckle.
“Why are you laughing?” I pouted feeling a bit embarras-sed and he caressed my hair.
“You said you feel pains everything so it’s only appropriate we wait till you recover” He teased.
“I said my whole body was in pains but not my li-ps” I blurted and he laughed.
“Finish up, before it gets cold” Tristan said as he continued feeding me.
Minutes later I was done eating.
“I’m so full” I exclaimed ru-b-bing my stomach.
“Good girl, you finished everything. You’re quite a good eater” Tristan complimented and I smiled.
“Of course, I remember winning so many eating competition in school back then” I br@gged and he smiled.
“Of course. What do you want to do next?” He asked softly and I placed my head on his shoulder with my hands wrapped around his back.
“I want to be like this for the time being. You have no idea how much I missed been in your embr@ce” I confessed and he laughed silently.
“I’m glad you missed that because I missed you even more, I felt like I was losing my mind. Deena don’t ever leave me again” He whispered in my ears and I smiled.
“I won’t” I said slowly and just then Mum rushed into the room and we broke the hu-g.
“Deena” Mum called out in tears as she ran to me and gave me a ti-ght hu-g.
Tristan stood up quickly.
“How are you feeling now? Are you still in much pain?” Mum asked curiously as she broke the hu-g. Looking at my fractured leg.
“That must hurt so much. I’m so sorry dear” Mum said sobbing and I wiped her tears off.
“Mum you know racing is a game filled with risks and injuries yet you sob so much whenever I get an injury” I pouted and she caressed my hair.
“It’s a risky game and that’s why I’m always worried. Deena how about you call it a quit and join me at the company?” Mum suggested and I chuckled.
“No way mum, I haven’t won victory yet. I can’t leave until I win the championships” I said with a smile and mum hit me lightly on my arm.
“Silly child. You keep making things difficult for yourself” Mum whined then turned around noticing Tristan.
“Hello ma’am” Tristan greeted and mum turned to me.
“Is he the one?” Mum asked almost in a whisper and I nodded. She smiled widely and stood up from the bed facing Tristan.
“Hello, what’s your name please?” Mum asked politely.
“My name’s Tristan Cho. You must have had a stressful journey ma, how about I take you to a very good hotel to rest? Deena is doing great that was what the doctor said and with the look of things that’s true” Tristan said politely as he smiled looking at me.
I signaled him to relax.
“I just got here and you’re trying to chase me away already. What’s your relationship with my daughter?” Mum asked seriously.
“Mum, Tristan is just worried you will fall sick just like me. You flied down here out of the blue so it must be stressful. I think you should really go take a rest” I cut in and mum turned to me and winked.
“Deena stay out of this, I should at least know the kind of man my daughter is hanging out with. Are you pretending to be in love with her because of her wealth and fame? What’s your motive? Do you have any idea what power the Gu family uphold?” Mum asked coldly and Tristan bite his lower li-ps.
It’s becoming intense for him. I uttered in my head laughing.
