Lank facepalmed at the info he didn't want Gia to know about.
"There was Mr. Gaviel, a black-haired male and red-haired female." Miss Galena responded immediately.
Lank's mouth gaped open at how fast things progressed, "miss if you could allow me to speak with her privately." He said with gritted teeth.
Staring him down, Miss Galena rolled her eyes, consented, and walked away.
Sitting up, she placed the pillow behind her back, resting her back on it, letting out a sigh.
"What is it that you are keeping from me? Why were Nix and Lumina here?" She questioned, deducing the description from how Miss Galena had put it.
"They came visiting." Lank immediately replied, flashing a grin.
"Oh I suppose they came with Mr. Gaviel too, so they could visit me as well." Gia's sarcastic reply caught Lank off guard.
"Of course!" He replied immediately afterward.
Gia frowned, she could tell he was lying to himself, the constant flicker of his eyes was an underlying factor that he was having an internal battle with something.
"No... It's just that–"
"Save it!" She hissed, bringing her leg down so she could get up.
"What are you doing?!" Lank questioned, coming closer so she wouldn't leave.
"You very well know what I want to do, stupid!" She hissed, pushing on his chest, so she could leave the infirmary.
"You know what I mean." Lank held her, forcing her to take a seat on the bed once more.
"I'm tired of the smell of this place, a breath of fresh air to clear my head is needed." She tried to duck her head under his arm.
"Why are you so eager to leave once you heard who had been here?" Lank questioned.
Pausing, Gia looked up with a frown, "the same reason you bank on and trying to keep me in the dark."
"That doesn't make any sense." He countered.
"Please, let me leave." She pushed on him.
"Miss, can this patient leave without your consent?" Lank yelled in a loud voice, hoping that Gia's request would be turned down if heard in such a way.
Miss Galena walked towards them, her hands akimbo on her waist. "Did the other three, especially the two that needed care..."
Gia looked at Lank, her eyes narrowed at him for the first part of his lies exposed.
Biting down on her lips to prevent all she was holding deep within for Lank.
Lank facepalmed at the first part of his explanation, ruined. Instant regret of calling on a person who never liked him haunted him the moment she continued speaking.
'... did they request permission before leaving? I think not! If she's alright and confident that she doesn't need to be healed, then I think it's a good option to take a breather."
Lank's mouth fell open, he had called for her to be against the idea, not promote it so well!
Gia placed an arm on Lank, pinching down on his shoulder.
Lank hissed slightly, biting on his bottom lip to stop himself from hissing loudly.
"Thank you, Miss Galena." Gia flashed a broad smile, "that would be all."
Smiling at Gia, the nurse nodded her head, turning in the direction of Lank, she rolled her eyes at him before walking back to her desk.
Gia had made sure that Miss Galena was out of sight. Once confirmed, she slapped the back of Lank's head.
"Ow! What the hell was that for?" He hissed, looking in the directory of the nurse, he frowned and wished she was back.
"You are seriously asking me that shitty question?! You lied to me and tried to fool me!" She screamed at him, hitting him.
Lank fought the urge to laugh at her light tapping on his chest. Considering it no longer pleasurable, he held them and frowned.
"As much as I would like you to continue to vent your anger, you aren't in the best position to distract yourself with things that don't need to be disturbed."
Gia shook her head at his explanation, no matter how she had wanted that to play out well in her thoughts, it all still didn't make any sense whatsoever.
"I need to leave." She persisted.
"Fine," Lank gave up trying to convince her, "but at the least let me pay a visit to Fae."
'Why the hell would you suddenly bring her up at this crucial moment?' He internally facepalmed at the terrible timing.
"Why would you need to see her?!" He chuckled to cover up how uncomfortable he felt to be discussing this.
"She was the last person that came to visit me after you ran away and left me with Ayanami." She narrowed her eyes at him, clicking her tongue right after.
Her words came like a hard slap to his face. At a loss for words, he began to rethink his choices starting from that point.
'I shouldn't have left her to be with that vile snake!' He thought in regret.
If that had not happened, she probably wouldn't have been unconscious for a few days.
"I'm sorry." He muttered, feeling bad about himself.
"Whatever," she waved her hands, "I need to speak to her, we had some things we had not finished speaking on." She hurriedly slipped on her slip-on sandals.
"That could wait." Lank stood in front of her, shaking his head in the new direction she was headed.
"Let's go search for Nix and Lumina, they could help." He suggested, pleading in his thoughts that she would buy the suggestion.
Raising her brows, she paused and gave deep thought to what he had said.
Finally concluding, she let out a sigh, "did anything happen to Fae?"
"Why would you suddenly think on that line?" Lank countered the question with another.
Gia shook her head, she had finally gotten the answer she needed. 'I was right, his eyes do flicker when he's uncomfortable and hiding something.'
"Don't try to stop me," she warned. "Now step away." She snapped.
