Fortunately, it didn’t take Alice long to return.
Seeing Alice, Yanis and Jack came to her very quickly and approached her.
-Alice.
-Mom.
Alice hadn’t thought she would see them after she calmed down in the bathroom, so she was a little surprised.
She had assumed that Yanis would come here because she already had this plan to come. But Alice prevented him.
Finally, Yanis came out of the blue.
Alice said to him,-Today is the first day the store starts. Is it no problem if you come here directly?
Yanis frowned without saying anything.
-Alice, don’t mention the start of the store to me. All this doesn’t matter now.
Alice smiled, “Why doesn’t it matter? Normally there’s no problem if you come here, but today it’s….
-Ya. I can find another one if the store has problems. But you’re on your own now and how can I not come when this has happened. We already know about Kennedy’s situation. I’ll come with you. Sit down.
Yanis indicated the chairs nearby and Alice just had to nod.
The three of them sat down.
Perhaps because of the special period, Jack was very quiet. Except for comforting Alice by stroking her arm, he said nothing.
Nathan and Zain stood at his side when the three of them were in the chair. And very soon they became silent.
They did not know when Kennedy would wake up or what to do, but it was completely impossible for them to leave now.
Time passed.
Gradually, it seemed that the temperature got lower.
Yanis felt a little cold, but she dared not say so. Now what made her worry more was Alice.
Thinking that Alice was pregnant, Yanis said,-Alice, I think you could….
-Don’t tell me anything, I won’t come back.
-You misunderstood me. I didn’t want to advise you to go back. We’ve been good friends for so many years, don’t I know you? I wanted to tell you to book a neighboring hospital ward as Kennedy will have to stay in the hospital after the medical examination. There will be beds in the hospital room and you can come in to sleep.
-Mrs. Alice, that’s fine with me. You are weak while we are in the colder weather. When it is night, it will be colder. When Mr. Kennedy wakes up, but something happens to you, we won’t be able to explain it well.
It was true that it was very cold in the hallway.
When it was night, it would feel colder.
Even if Alice could stand the cold, the baby in her belly could not. Besides, Alice was with Yanis and Jack. She couldn’t let the three who were accompanying her suffer.
Alice nodded, “Well, we booked one.
Since they asked for a VIP hospital room, the room was self-contained and well equipped. But everyone didn’t shower because they hadn’t brought any clothes.
When Alice entered the room, she turned to Nathan and Zain.
The two men looked at each other and said, “We are staying here, have a good rest.
Alice nodded and looked at them gratefully.
-I will bring you a blanket later.
Yanis also entered the room.
After the three of them had left, Nathan said, “I think he has to go to work tomorrow, leave him in my care.
-I think he has to go to work tomorrow.
Nathan glanced at him without saying anything.
So the two of them watched.
***
Inside the hospital room, although the three of them were lying down, they could not fall asleep. Although she closed her eyes, Alice was worried about Kennedy and was very distraught. She was a little sleepy, but just as she was about to fall asleep, she dreamed of Kennedy lying in the emergency room and woke up immediately out of fright.
Jack slept with Yanis. Mostly, he wanted to sleep with Alice. Considering Alice was pregnant and he could hurt her, he chose to sleep with Yanis.
The light was on and Yanis and Jack looked at each other.
Then Yanis stroked Jack’s head and said softly, -Sleep.
Jack blinked at her and looked at her very innocently.
He said nothing, but kept his eyes open.
Yanis glanced toward Alice, felt concern and exhaled.
Yanis herself could not fall asleep, nor what to say Jack. She said to him, “Now. Don’t sleep if you don’t want to. But sleep when you are sleepy.
Jack agreed.
As the two looked at each other quietly, suddenly there was a rustling sound. Yanis turned and found that Alice had gotten up.
-Alice?
Immediately, Yanis climbed down from the bed and asked her, “What’s wrong?
Seeing Yanis’s uneasiness, Alice had to explain.
-It just occurred to me that Nathan and Zain would feel cold in the hallway, so I’m going to bring them a blanket.
Alice had taken two blankets, but Yanis stopped her.
-You are lying on the bed and you are not warm enough, let me take it.
-But…
-You’re pregnant and you have to take good care of yourself. It’s very cold outside, what would happen to the baby if you had a cold? Leave it to me, I’m stronger.
Yanis took the blankets off and said towards Jack, “Jack, take good care of your mom. Don’t let her go out.
Alice didn’t know what to say.
She was pregnant, but why did she seem to be treated like a child?
Jack stood up at the command.
Looking at Alice, he said, “Mom, you can’t go out.
Although Alice felt bad, what they did now made her want to laugh.
***
In the hallway, Nathan and Zain were standing independently. Since Alice and Yanis had left, they had not yet sat down.
Yanis was surprised to see them following on foot.
Didn’t they feel tired?
Apart from that, compared to the interior of the room, it was very cold outside.
A cold wind blew and Yanis shivered. Nathan saw everything and frowned.
-Why did you come out?
-I came to give you blankets. It is too cold outside. If you feel cold, cover up and don’t catch a cold.
