"ARGHH!!"
Nathan felt the pain throughout his body.
He felt like he was being electrocuted, not just his physical body, but also something very deep inside him, like his soul!
The pain was so unbearable that Nathan looks like he will pass out in any minute.
"GRRR.. RARRRRR!!!"
Nathan gritted his teeth and let out a deep roar seemingly crying from his core.
Resolving himself to get through this without passing out, Nathan's will seems to have started materializing as some sort of image started appearing above him, albeit illusory and not that easy to see without focusing on it for a long time.
The pain lasted for 10 minutes, to which Nathan stayed conscious the whole time!
That by itself, was already a huge achievement!
The moment the pain disappeared, Nathan slumped on the ground without caring about how dirty it is or what kind of bacteria there is on it.
Sweat keeps rolling down his body that a pool of water even formed underneath him.
Nathan looks up at the sky, lying on his back as he tries to breath smoothly.
While breathing raggedly, he said, "I haa… did not haa… expect that haa… it would be… this painful!l."
Remembering his smug look from earlier, Nathan wants to slap the him from a few minutes earlier.
"I was too stupid acting like that."
Nathan stopped talking and just continued resting on the ground without any care about things.
Only after an hour passed that he was finally able to get a little vitality and got up.
Super tired, Nathan decided to go home directly without bothering about anything.
The moment he got back home, he dropped his body on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.
He did not even notice Natalie who was talking to him as his mind has already blanked.
So, Nathan got back to the sofa with just his 'muscle memory'.
…
Natalie looks at the ragged looking Nathan loudly snoring on the sofa,
"Where did he go for him to end up like that?" She muttered,
Looking at the mud covering Nathan, she shook her head.
Natalie grabbed a basin with water and a towel.
She puts it down on the floor near the sofa where Nathan is sleeping and wipes him with the wet towel.
Seeing all the mud getting wiped by the towel, she wondered,
"Brother seems so tired that he did not even bother to clean himself. Just what was he doing the whole time he's out…"
Not being able to find an answer to her questions, Natalie continues to clean Nathan's body silently.
She cleaned his arms well, clearing all the dirt sticking on Nathan's skin.
Done with the arms, she was about to clean Nathan's feet since it was even dirtier than his arms.
At this time, some light coming from a passing car outside hit Nathan, and something shiny on his pants reflected the light, making it very eye-catching.
The shine from Nathan's pocket inevitably caught Natalie's eyes.
Curious, she slowly pulled it out so as to not wake up Nathan.
"Hmm? What's this?"
Natalie curiously inspected the thing in her hand.
It's a syringe with a green viscous liquid inside it.
Natalie doesn't know what that liquid is, but it looks toxic in her opinion.
She looks at it for a while before getting bored since he doesn't know what it's for.
She was about to put it back in Nathan's pocket when Natalie seemed to think of something as she paused in the air.
"Tired and covered in dirt… suddenly have lots of money… plus a syringe with unknown liquid…!!"
Her writer's imagination seems to have been unlocked as thoughts and scenes flashed through her mind, creating plots and scenarios with her limited information!
pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ At the end of it, Natalie suddenly covered her mouth with a shocked look on her face!
She suddenly looks at Nathan with mixed emotions, but sadness was the most intense of them all.
Dropping the towel, she got up and ran to her room with tears running down her face.
Natalie, for the first time in her life, locked her room.
…
The next day, Nathan woke up feeling refreshed.
Yawn~
Nathan stretches his numb limbs while yawning.
He looked at the clock on the wall and saw the time.
7:23 AM
"It's already that late?"
Saying that, Nathan got up and drank some cold water from the fridge.
Growl~
At the same time, his stomach started to protest after a night of not eating.
Nathan frowns as he rubs his stomach.
"Why am I so hungry?"
Being poor, Nathan was used to not eating from time to time just to provide enough nutrition to Natalie's growing body.
Because of that, Nathan's body started adjusting to it so that even if he doesn't eat dinner, he still won't feel the hunger the next day.
So feeling the extreme hunger at this time, Nathan was puzzled.
GROWL~
After his stomach growled for the second time, Nathan stopped thinking about it because the hunger he's feeling is giving him so much pain for some reason.
"I need food!"
Nathan feels like he's about to lose his sanity with this hunger.
Opening the fridge, he took out everything that he could eat like vegetables, old rice, and last night's dinner.
But even with all that, Nathan was still hungry!
Feeling the intense hunger, Nathan set his eyes on the frozen meat and deliberated whether he should eat it raw.
In the end, Nathan still did not eat it.
The food that he ate, although did not ease his hunger, still gave him clarity to think rationally.
Nathan knows that eating meat raw will probably cause him to get sick with all those bacteria hidden in that meat. It might solve his hunger, but the possibility of getting sick is a big no-no!
He might have twice the power a normal adult has, but disease is not something he's sure he can fight off.
Since he can't find anything to eat anymore, Nathan thought about where to find food and saw the pamphlet that is pinned on the door of the refrigerator with a magnet.
Jollibee Delivery (8-7000)
Nathan's eyes lit up and he got an idea!
He first drank some water to stop his hunger for some time before grabbing his phone and calling the number in the pamphlet.
Ring~ ring~
[Hello, this is Jollibee Delivery! May I take your order?]
"Can I order two of everything on the menu?" Nathan hurriedly said,
[...]
The person on the other end seems to be surprised by Nathan's voice and becomes silent.
"Is no one in there!? Hello!?" Nathan can't help but raise his voice at this time hearing no one speaking.
Nathan became impatient with no one responding. His stomach is starting to hurt again, that's why he got mad with this simple thing.
[... Ah! I'm sorry, sir. Can you please tell me your order again?]
Nathan took a deep breath and calmed himself,
"I said, two of everything on your menu. Please deliver it fast."
