The Billionaire's Love Conquest [UNEDITED]

Chapter 30: Love Under One Roof

"You look surprisingly very well, Nicki." He stared at me with joy. "So you want to be discharged today, right?" he asked for confirmation.

"Yes, doc!" I exclaimed excitedly in my low tone. For some reason, I felt so close to him.

He chuckled. "Call me Raniel." I beamed at him sheepishly. After reading my chart, he smiled. "Great. Call me in case you suddenly feel something weird," he smiled. "Send someone to the information desk to sign some papers before you can leave. For now, I wish you, good luck and well, Nicki." Dr. Peterson explained and they left.

I can't believe he was still sleeping. I got up and walked to the door. Just as I was about to grab the knob, someone twists it and pushed open. I back up quickly before I was caught with the door and the wall.

"Nicki, sweety, are you ok?" Hailey asked worried with Max behind her holding which I believe some foods.

"I was just about to go out and walked around," I replied nonchalantly. I could smell the chicken and It's making me feel hungry.

"How do you feel? Are you feeling better?" Max asked with fondness.

"Yeah. I think I can go home today. I feel so much better, I think." I replied happily. I can't wait to get out from here. If I stayed longer I would never be ok. The smell of the alcohol and the hospital is literally making me sick.

Hailey and Max walked in. "We brought you some foods. Popeye's chicken, fries and some drinks." Max happily exclaimed as he places the plastic bag on the table. "I hope you like it. Mara mentioned it to me that you like Popeye's chicken," Max inquired hoping Mara was right.

"Ohh... Thank you! Yes, it's my favorite. I know it's not healthy but I love Popeye's chicken," I exclaimed excitedly. I can't wait to eat it. The thought of it is making me drool. I was thinking to wake Alex up when Hailey speak up.

"Where is Alex?" Hailey's brows furrowed in curiosity. I looked in the bed's direction and saw him still peacefully sleeping. I guess a month of no sleep, that even a loud bang of pot or pans won't wake you up, or even a blaring siren of an ambulance could wake him up.

"Oh, my poor boy..." Hailey cooed which made me rolled my eyes unconsciously. He's old now for heaven's sake.

"Selina and Mara are coming to bring you some clean clothes so you can have a shower," Hailey stated casually after.

Great. I felt so dirty and uncomfortable. I don't know how Alex could kiss and smell my oily head. Or was he just polite not telling I smell disgusting? I felt embarrassed at the thought.

I walk to the bed and thinking to wake him up when he stirred and maybe he felt his parent's presence and he opened his eyes and bolted upright. He looked to me and suddenly his face painted with worries and like a lightning he was beside me holding my hand.

"I can manage, Alex," I chuckled. He still looked so handsome in his scruffy hair, crumpled shirt, and a bit puffy eyes, not sure if because of long sleep or because he was crying a lot lately.

I didn't realize we already reach the bed. Alex scooped me and I squealed in surprised. He gingerly put me down on the bed while the couple was just watching us with happiness. Hailey's eyes were twinkling with mirth while Max was grinning in amusement. I felt the flush creeping over my cheeks.

Hailey opened the plastic bag and I was waiting excitedly as I watch her pulled out a paper plate and deposited it on the table, then a box full of juicy fried chicken and another box with fries and few bottles of pop.

Alex took one paper plate and tray under the table and put the plate on the tray. Then he was about to fill it with chicken breast when I stop him.
