Sold To Mr President

Ethan had fallen asleep in the couch and when he received a light tap on his shoulder blade, he opened his eyes quickly, trying to pair with the person that stood in front of him. It took him a while to figure it out but when he did, he gave out a small smile from his face. It was a little and awkward one to pretend like he got everything under control.

Bullshit! that is a fat lie and he thinks that he had rather fucked up with his life. It was in the early morning so the morning rays that penetrated the building flashed in his eyes. It took him a few second before flashes of what had happened cam to his mind, thus staring at the nurse in front of him he raised his brows indicating that whatever the nurse had to say, then it has to be now.

“Good morning, Sir. It is good if you can go home and return later now, you look so weary and tired, you know? besides, the lady you brought in here… that is good of you, if not we would have lose her,” the nurse said with a pinch of seriousness in his voice.

He meant every word that left his mouth, no matter how serious he was, he kindly made it known to her that it is what is being known thus nothing can change that fact again, absolutely nothing.

Deep down in Ethan’s mind, his first wish is that Ruby should die. Oh yes! because he can’t go through this risk for too long, it is so tiring and frustrating that things just happen to them like that, it is not worth it at all.

Sighing, the young man just made kept glaring at the man in front of him, he knows that it is not worth it, but then, he needs to make sure that the lady has not woken up, that is very important because if she is awake, she might start crying and expose his secret. That would be so horrible because at this moment that he is like that, police might start rushing in her to take him to the police station forr Investigation. Well, he hopes not.

“How about her? can I go and see her?” Ethan asked raising his brows in questions.

He just acted a little bit of concerned, the evil part of him was left in his heart, that part is only left for Ruby or the people he has to assassinate, if that is not the case then he is good to go, and there are no issues with it.

The male nurse that was in front of him, and he had a lot well-trained attitude.

“Yes, Sir, you can see her. This way, please,” he said as he led the way.

It was absurd that all these things had to happen to Ethan, all he had left now is just to walk behind the nurse and pretend like he has he whole situation ubder control, well, that is a lie and he knows that of course. He knows that he has fucked up everything, he wished he would have just walked out of the house while shutting the door behind him with the lock, hoping that Ruby wouldn’t come out, well, he woud have done everything that is quite better that beating her and assaulting her all thesame in that manner, it is not quite fair that she has done all those things, now, she has to undergo all these unnecessary drama of lying about who he truly is to take her to the hospital while she still have air passing through her nostrils, that is great and he wished it would stay like that for the time being.

As the nursed arrived at the door where Ruby was kept, he swirled around to look at Ethan, and raising a brow, he kind of looked perplexed.

“Is there something you aren’t telling me? is there something I should know?” Ethan asked in a concerned tone which was all planned out.

He did not count, he did not really count on whether the lady was fine or not, he just wanted to get away with this stage of his life and probably do away with Ruby, she doesn’t quote mean a lot to him, and that is one thing he hates so much, oh yes he do.

The manner in which the nurse swirled around to glare at him while shaking his head from left to right. It was awkward to have this look but then that is alright, especially when he wants to know what the issue is.

“Alright, I do not know if I am in the right position to tell you this because I am only the junior doctor in this hospital, and the senior doctor wouldn’t be showing up till later tonight, thus, he has to carry on some scans and test through the lady once more,” he muttered out.

Hearing this, Ethan shook his head understanding it at once. He knew that it was kind of going to be difficult to think about most of these things, but yet, Ruby is the root cause of all this issue. The stress is just too much, he can’t think of anything possible just yet.

Ethan was deep in thoughts when he heard the doctor’s voice passed into his mind. It was a little satisfying to know that the man wasn’t a nurse but a doctor.

“Are you aware that the lady was being assaulted? but then, the strange part of it is that the lady’s clothes weren’t torn, well, they were kind of tattered, but then… I can’t even say much now. But one thing I realized is that she has serious problems with her legs and that is horrible, like seriously, it is,” the doctor said in a calm voice.

It was weird that he had to undergo through all these things and yet keep a straight face. He needs to be natural, he needs to pretend like he is surprised and yet angry all at the same time.

At the moment the man said those words, Ruby that was in the ward stirred awake. He heard everything as if it was just flashes, but then, he had to open his eyes because that was what she felt like doing right now.

It took a whole one minute for Ruby to figure out where she was, with her cold vision, harsh warm temperature of the room, she just got so confused that when she noticed she was in a hospital, she wanted to cry. Well, she had tried moving her leg when she noticed it was as hard as a rock, that was her right leg, so she thought of using the left leg. The moment she lifted her leg up, it was still the same issue and more even worse than what she had expected. She almost choked out and thus, she just brushed her mind away from it, her mind was kind of blocked right now she just brushed her mind aside. The situation at hand was now so difficult, the stress from it was just so much, and to think about it, the pain from it was just so much, more than what she can think about it.

The moment Ruby heard the noise that was happening outside, he decided to concentrate on what he has there, that is what is quite needed now. As she glared at the door, she just kept being attentive as her focus was now based on the people outside.

“I do not think the Lady in there would ever be able to walk again. It is really a dad news and think about it hurts so much, but then, whoever had done that to the lady needs to be tracked down and punished,” the doctor said.

Ruby laid on the bed hearing what the man had said, she knew they were addressing her, and she felt like burst out in tears, to make the whole world know that Ethan is the beast, that he is the person that has made her to be like that, but then, then there is practically nothing she can do right now, the stress from it is just too much, more than anything she can even think about it her entire life.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

As she braced her mind away, the man was kind of focused on telling his partner but then, he said it anyways.

“I am sorry to tell you this but that is the case,” The doctor said.

Ethan’s eyes fell on the doctor’s face as he looked at him for a long time and speechless as well. He simply can’t take Ruby home anymore, having an invalid in his house will just be the worst challenge he can support right now, he detest to work for anyone, not even himself, but truth be told, he has to put his mind together in place and take decisions that are worth it

“That is so loud. Alright, if you do not mind, I will enter and check on her myself,” Ethan blurted out lightly.

Hearing this, the young doctor replied with a nod, while muttering a word of advise to him.

“Please, make sure you do not make the slightest noise that is she is still asleep for now thus, she needs a lot of rest, more than what she can even think of, thank you,” the nurse announce shoving his hand to the room before leaving.

Slowly, he walked away, and at that moment, Ethan decided to walk into the room and instantly, he saw the lady on the bed, and a light frown played on my head. Sighing, the lady just brushed her mind away from it, the way she laid there with her eyes bulging out in tears, was a clear prove that she had listened to everything that had being said out doors.

“See who have being eavesdropping on my conversation with the doctor. You witch, just look at how miserable you are, are you happy to see yourself in this manner? of course not, I do not mean what had happened to you, but then, you caused it,” Ethan spat out angrily with a dangerous scowl on his face.

It was weird with the way she said all these things, like seriously, those words were aching, he said it Ind he meant every word of what he said, and that was quite awkward, the anger that filled his voice os just something Ruby was already used to it.

Ruby’s eyes were now glued to the Ethan’s own as she focused her attention to her tears, that is the most important thing that could happen right now, show him what he has done, cry in all shades and colors pretending like she knows what is going on. The way the man glared at her, Ruby knew that all these things were just a beginning of something she is going to regret about it, oh yes, she will, Ethan had a serious look on his face, it was buried with anger, scorn and disgust for her.

Ethan sat on the bed beside Ruby, and instantly, he noticed that the lady was dressed in a blue gown, and it arrived on her knee. This could only be the way that those nurses could actually figure out what is wrong with her, yes! because if they had not done a proper control of her body, they wouldn’t have noticed that she is had broken bones too.

As if trying to test it to be sure, Ethan placed his hand gently on the lady’s leg and pressed it lightly. As expected, Ruby’s reaction was hilarious, it was the worst thing that could ever happen to her, and as she moaned in pain, she was about opening her mouth to scream her lungs out.

Unfortunately for her, Ethan was fast enough to hold her mouth therefore stopping her from crying out lout. That was weird, and even though such a thing had happened, he kept her eyes glued to hers.
