His Better Half (AGENT SERIES #7)

Chapter 2

Warren Adrian's POV

Napatakbo ako papasok ng kwarto ni Richee

"How is she?"

"She's responding to the medicines"

I checked her vital signs and sighed deeply

She's fine

Lumabas ako ng kwarto nya at tinignan sila Tita

"Is she okay, Adrian?" Tita Irene asked

"She's responding to the medicines, Tita. That's a good sign for us, Irish will wake up soon"

"Thank you, Adrian"

Niyakap ko si Tita "She will be fine. She will wake up soon"

"I pray for it, Adrian. Thank you for being here"

Kumalas ako kay Tita at tumango "I have to go, Tita. I need to take my rounds"

Tumango si Tita kaya umalis na ako. I went to Andromeda's office

"What do you need? I'm busy"

"The files"

"Felix has it"

Napairap ako "You know what I mean"

Inabot nya sakin ang folder at binuksan ko yun

Jan Arthur Walter

Napangiti ako at umalis na

"Your welcome!"

Pumasok ako sa office ko at binuksan ang vault sa ibaba

Emily Andres

Connected silang lahat sa isa't-isa. What's with Eve, Phoenix, Andromeda and my Dad?

Umupo ako sa gilid ng kama ni Irish at hinawakan ang kamay nya

Nailipat na sya sa private room. That's a good thing

"When will you wake up, Irish? Masyado nang mahaba ang tulog mo? Ilang linggo ka nang nandito, hindi pa ba sumasakit yang likod mo?"

Napatitig ako sa mukha nya

She's still beautiful as ever. Those pointed nose, beautiful chocolate brown eyes, her perfect heart shaped face and pinkish luscious soft lips. Still the same as before

My Irish....

I touched her cheek and kissed his forehead "Wake up soon, Irish. We miss you"

Tumayo ako at binitawan ang kamay nya. Lumabas ako ng kwarto nya at tinignan si Reiko na nasa labas

"Kuya, nagising na ba si Ate?"

Umiling ako at ginulo ang buhok nya "How are you, Reiko?"

"Still handsome but this handsone have problems"

"School?"

"Yeah. My grades and of course Ate"

"Wag mong problemahin ang Ate mo, I'm here. I'll take care of her"

"You should be, Kuya. Ikaw lang ang pumasa samin ni Dad eh"

Napangiti ako "How's Tito, by the way?"

"Not good, she misses her Princess. You know how much he loves Ate. Nakakalimutan nya ata na ako ang magdadala ng apilyedo nya"

Natawa ako sa sinabi ni Reiko "Of course, he will love your Ate. She's the only girl in your family"

"Si Mommy rin kaya"

"You will understand soon"

"Kuya, malaki na ako but I can't understand up 'till now"

"Alam mo kasi Reiko, women are precious. They should be treated like a Queen and your Ate may not be the Queen of your Dad but he wants the best for her because she's a woman"

Kumunot ang noo ni Reiko "Just like how you treated her before?"

Tumango ako

"Then why did you cheat? If you love her?"

Napayuko ako "I need to because it's for her sake"

"Huh?"

Umiling ako "Nothing. Don't mind what I've said"

It's for her own sake. That's right, I did that for her. To keep her safe

----

"I see, no liquor for tonight?"

Napangiti ako at tumango "Nakabalik na sya eh"

"Is she awake?" Clark asked and sat beside me

Umiling ako "She will be"

"Lakas ng fighting spirit" sabi ni Chad na kinangiti ko

"She's my Irish, she's a fighter"

"Yeah, sinapak ka nga nung una kayong magkita"

I remember that. Akala nya kasi ako yung nanghipo sa kanya, pinagkamalan akong manyakis

"Ilang beses ka bang nabad shot kay Richee bago naging kayo?"

Napakibit balikat ako at tinignan ang oras sa relo ko "It's late, I need to sleep"

"Bye, Doc"

Lumabas ako ng kusina at dumiretsyo sa tinutuluyan kong kwarto

Irish is a strong woman. She can get through this
