Kiss Me if You Can

Vol. 2 Ch. 8

"The hospital was quiet. In the hallway, with no one passing by, Josh stood with a few other bodyguards. Chase lay in a hospital room, and only his manager, Laura, and the head of the security team were with him. The rest of the staff had been ordered to wait in the hallway.

During the rushed drive to the hospital, Chase never once opened his eyes. Completely unconscious, his breathing was faint, almost as if he had already died. Of course, that wasn’t something to say out loud. Josh had prepared himself to perform chest compressions at any moment, bringing along a portable defibrillator. As he kept watch beside him, his mind raced with countless thoughts. But the most prominent image that burned into his mind was the blood that stained Chase’s body.

Soon.

“Josh.”

At the sound of his name, Josh snapped his head up to see Mark watching him. His furrowed brow showed his concern. Josh blinked in a daze as Mark asked.

“Are you tired? Shocked?”

“Huh? Ah... no, just a little.”
