The General Who Hates Me

Keira opened her eyes, and her perfect lips curved upward upon seeing Zach sleeping beside her. She looked around and immediately realized where they were. They were inside one of the VIP wards at Yang Hospital. But this one was a special ward for a couple, and the bed was customized to fit two people, unlike those in one patient wards.

They were rescued just in time. Who would have imagined how perfect the timing had been? Keira was flabbergasted with joy and gratitude. Finally, they were safe. And how nice it was to feel a comfortable soft bed on her back again.

Keira sat herself up on the bed but groaned because the sudden movement hurt her. It woke Zach up. "You’re awake... How are you feeling now?" Zach asked as he sat up to touch Keira’s face. Her temperature was now back to normal.

"How come we don’t have any visitors? Where are my parents? Your mom? And the rest?" Keira complained with pouty lips because she had expected to see her parents and friends.

"Oh, they are all here, my family, your parents, Lana and May. You need a rest, so they left as soon as they saw you’re okay," Zach answered as he gently caressed Keira’s cheek, which had started to turn back to its lovely rosy color from being pale.

He smiled and continued, "Drey and Cielo also called. They can’t be here because they are overseas."

"Oh! Mara! What about Mara? Where is she? She must be scared and freaking out now!" Keira shrieked at the thought of Mara. She quickly moved to the edge of the bed to stand, but Zach stopped her.

"Stay here... She’s fine. John is with her, and the doctors are taking care of her. You need to rest more, Mrs. Lim, you’re not completely fine yet, and you have to be more careful with yourself for the sake of our baby..." Zach scolded as he gently pulled Keira back on the bed and kissed her forehead.

It took a while before Keira responded with a creased forehead, "What?" It took her some time to absorb what Zach had just said, and she was also contemplating if she heard it right.
