Chapter66. Draco’s POV: Another person amongst humans
” LIANA! LIANA! LIANA!!!”
My voice echoed around the empty house. There was no sign of her.
But she was there, no doubt, perhaps a few minutes prior.
I ran to check the doors. They were open. Wide and ajar. I saw car tracks and footsteps on the ground of more than one people. Somebody had taken Liana away from her bed chamber while she was in no position to defend. Liana had been kidnapped under the most unfavourable conditions. And it was all because of Lucian.
I was about to tear the whole house down in helplessness when suddenly I heard a familiar voice,Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
” Oh my good luck, the Dragon Lord! ”
It was that Mystic Joe. He fell right at my feet in prostration. I could have kicked his teeth out. I was that mad but lucky that I didn’t. If I had done so, he would not have been say the next sentence,
” I just rushed back from the hospital. In my hurry, I had forgotten to lock Miss. Liana’s gate. ”
He apologized with wide eye.
” Liana? You know where she is? ”
” Of course I do. I rushed her to the hospital. She was all alone and burning in fever. I panicked as she did not respond to any of my gestures. So I called the ambulance and shifted her to the icu. ”
I finally breathed. Liana was alright. She was in a hospital.
” Take me where you admitted her! ”
I used my hypnotic frequency on him, because I needed to use air for travel. There was no more time for delay. We stopped right in front of the front gate.
” Wait! Stop! They might not let you go inside! ”
That moroon did try to stop me but withered away from just my gaze.
” I mean, look at you. You clearly look like a character out from a video game. You could even give the doctors a heart attack. Atleast exchange your clothes with me. ”
I wanted to tear his head off for suggesting that but on a second thought, I did find that he had valid a point.
We went around a bush to get changed.
I extended my hand for his dirty laundry but the dumb fellow was staring at me.
” Oh, right. My clothes. I got first. Right… I get to get changed into a Dragon costume. ”
He started stripping to his very skin right in front of me with full enthusiasm , without any warning.
” Hey! Stop, stop stop… Go back over there and then do that! ”
His curves were too much for me to handle. It was making me feel nauseous.
Over the next couple of minutes I held my breath and got changed into his multicolored dress. Him getting inside my Dragon vest was an insult on another level. But my concern was checking on Liana.
So I went inside taking my mind away from other things.
” Her room will be next to the fourth one in the left. ”
a woman instructed with a smile and then went away.
I followed the steps to finally find her lying on a bed, attached to innumerable lines going all around the place.
” What have have you done to her body? ”
I tried understanding but I was concerned. Her skin was pierced at several spots. There was even blood and other liquids in some.
” We had to put her on life support. She was not responding at all. I will not claim that she is stable at the moment, but we do have a steady heart beat. ”
another woman showed me some lines going up and down on some sort of a screen .
” What do you think is wrong with her? ”
I wanted to know the human perception of the problem.
” She seems to be in some sort of an induced coma. Did anything traumatic happen? What is your relationship with this woman? Are you her husband? ”
” Huh? I, ummm, well, yeah, no… I guess what we have is complicated. ”
The woman shook her head.
” I don’t know what is wrong with your generation. Why are you all so afraid of commitment? I do not understand what is so scary about marriage? Is sticking with one person for the rest of your life that impossible? ”
She was a woman visibly older than me but her age was nothing compared to my centuries. Yet she dared take me for a youngster. She began lecturing me and was swifty climbing up my nerves.
Just then one of the lights in one of those devices started going berserk and a siren started beeping.
The woman jumped in her direction, pushing me out.
As more doctors and nurses ran inside in urgency, I was pushed further to a corner.
They were busy. They seemed worried.
They pressed something hot on Liana’s chest, over and over again.
During all this one of the nurses, noticed my presence.
” Sir, we are extremely sorry but you need to wait outside. We might need to shift the patient to the operation theatre immediately. You will need to sign on the bond before we take your wife in the OT hall. ”
There was an uncanny tinkering in my brain whenever they called me her husband. It felt weird but hearing it from the humans, it didn’t feel that bad.
Marriage had been a cliche topic for me even when I had Kiara in the Palace. Whenever they talked about me being a husband to Kiara, it felt like an insult. It felt like that title was taking away from my achievements. I preferred maintaining my distance from her in public and our private time was also numbered.
With Liana it was not the same case. In my realm she was just my mate. A being unable to ever demand anything from our relationship . In this world nobody knew about my status. I could be another being, apart from the mighty Dragon King.
As they closed the door on my face, I could only pretend to keep staring at that direction, hoping for the best.
