When Lilianne heard about Hugo's state and that he was conscious already, he immediately decided to visit the hospital to check up on him.
She brought flowers on her way and some food, in case they might get weirded out why she was there. Lilith wanted to come with her, but she had school, so she assured her that they will come to visit again tomorrow.
Not knowing where Hugo's room was, she decided to ask the nurse that was on the side. Fortunately, the women knew where Hugo's room was.
"Mrs. Verda," she greeted when she saw the woman outside.
"Mrs. Lilianne!" A smile appeared on Verda's lips as she saw a familiar face. "What are you doing here?" she asked curiously when she noticed the flowers in her hand.
"Oh, I was just visiting Hugo. My daughter has been so worried about her that she asked me to go here," she answered.
"I'm very thankful that you still see my son as your child, Mrs." Verda was touched by Lilianne's words.
"Is he awake now?" Lilianne asked when she noticed that Verda was just standing outside. "If he's not, then I can just drop this off here." she smiled.
"Oh, he's awake!" Verda paused as she glanced over at the back. "But he has a visitor, so may I ask him first?"
"Sure," Lilianne answered as she walked at the side where there are chairs available.
'Who will visit Hugo faster than me?'' She asked herself. The news about Hugo becoming conscious was spread out just a few hours ago.
The media was quite interested in the story as the topic of kidnapping and saving became popular on the internet. Everyone was invested in it, and they think that Hugo might know who was the person who saved all of them.
Lilianne waited patiently outside. She was looking around as Verda entered the inside of the room. Since the door was left unopened, she could hear a female's voice talking inside.
'Who is that?'
Getting curious, she stood up and walked towards the side of the door where she could hear their conversation. It was a position where she could see the people inside, however, they won't be able to see her.
When Hugo heard Lilianne's name, his mood instantly changed.
"She's here?" a smile rose up to his lips.
"Should I let her in?" Verda asked. Since it was Hugo's visitor then she had no right to decide on it.
Before answering, Hugo glanced over to the side and saw Abigail staring at him. When she nodded to say that it was fine, he glanced back at Verda.
"Sure, Mother." He uttered. He knew that Lilianne must have been waiting anxiously in her house all this time.
He needed to take care of his harem, after all.
He should start making both of them comfortable as well. Who knows what might happen in the future? The sides of his lips stretched out.
When Lilianne heard steps coming in her direction, she quickly get away from the door's side and went back to the chair where her things were placed.
"You can enter now, Mrs. Lilianne." Verda kindly informed her.
"Thank you, Verda. You don't need to be formal with me." She smiled as she patted her shoulder.
"Alright, Lilianne." The both of them laughed.
Lilianne entered Hugo's hospital room with a shy look on her face. She slightly bowed her head to Verda, who was just a few years older than her.
"Hi there, Hugo." Lilianne waved her hands at Hugo who had been sitting on the bed.
"Hello, Mrs. Lilianne." He greeted back as he warily glanced at his side to take a quick look at Abigail.
'This is quite awkward,' he uttered to himself as he scratched the back of his head.
"This is my friend Abigail. Abigail, this is my former boss, the mother of Lilith, Lilianne." he introduced the both of them to each other.
Since Abigail knew Lilith already, it was not hard for her to like Lilianne.
"Mrs. Lilianne," she greeted enthusiastically. "How is Lilith?" she asked since it has been so long since she would have heard about her.
"Oh, my daughter is clearly fine." Lilianne didn't know what tone of voice to answer. But since it was Hugo's friend she has been talking to, she needed to sound nice.
"That's great to hear," Abigail answered back. She looked at Hugo before smiling. '
"I will leave now. Don't forget about the juice alright? I have stuffed it in the fridge. Don't worry, my parents will contact your mother so we can help with the hospital bills." She caressed Hugo's face.
"You don't need to do that," Hugo said, pertaining to the last one she said.
Abigail shook her head. "Hailey is just like a sister to me. If you don't accept it, then at least accept it for her."
"Alright," a loud sigh escaped from his lips.
Knowing that, his forehead creased. 'I haven't thought about that, but I'm sure my parents are now problematic about the hospital bills.'
Abigail bid her goodbye to Lilianne as well before she left the two of them alone. When her foot stepped outside, she saw Verda, sitting on the chair on the side.
She didn't hesitate to move closer to her, knowing that Verda is just like a second mom to her. She has been treating her nicely and this is the time that she could pay back.
"Auntie," she called out her name as it would be rude for her to just jump straight into her motive.
"Abigail!" Verda exclaimed. "Are you going home already?" she checked the time on the clock. "It has ben just a few hours already."
"Yes, Auntie. My parents are worried about me already." She smiled.
"You should take care then. Thank you for visiting my son."
"No problem, auntie." She cleared her throat before continuing. "I have talked to my parents, and they said that they could donate some money to help you with the hospital bills." She warily smiled, in fear that Verda might find it offensive.
Verda's eyes widened. She quickly waved her hands. "There's no need! How can I let you donate for that?" Se chuckled.
"My mother insists, Auntie," Abigail added in. "She has heard about what happened and it broke her heart, too."
"Oh my!" it was heartwarming for Verda to know that Abigail was like this to their family.
"I'm really thankful that you're Hugo's friend. We wouldn't know what to do without your help." her eyes became teary as she held onto her hand.
"That's nothing at all, Auntie." Abigail smiled. "I will get going now." she waved her hands.
On the other hand, Lilianne and Hugo, who were left alone inside the room, were talking to each other.
Lilianne, even though she was not vocal with her feelings, greatly missed Hugo. She locked the door before moving towards the bed to hug him tightly.
"I missed you," Lilianne breathed out.
Hugo chuckled as she caressed Lilianne's face. "Did you miss me?" he caressed her head before placing a kiss on her lips.
"Of course," she pouted as she gave Hugo the bouquet of flowers.
"More than you miss my little buddy?" he raised his brows.
Lilianne chuckled. "You're still horny even if you're in that hospital bed!" she exclaimed.
"Well, what can I do if my buddy misses you?" he shrugged his shoulders.
Lilianne's cheeks reddened. "What if your mom hears what you're saying, huh?" she raised her brows.
Lilianne sat beside Hugo's bed. He opened up the paper bag that she was carrying.
"Did you cook this?" he curiously asked when he saw a few Tupperware of freshly cooked food inside.
Lilianne nodded.
"Yeah, but since you already ate, then just eat that for dinner. " She crossed her arms. "When did she get here?"
"Hmm, a few hours ago," he answered as he stared at Lilianne for a couple of minutes. "Why are you jealous?" he added in.
Lilianne shook her head. "Of course not. I promised you that I would be willing to share with you. I just noticed the way she stared at you."
"And what is that?"
"She seems in love with you." Lilianne paused. "Do you like her too?"
"Well... yeah." he honestly answered.
"..."
Abigail was flustered by Hugo's direct answer. He was not even scared to tell his feelings about her. "As long as I remain to be the first in your harem, then I'm fine with it."
She should probably encourage Lillith to pursue Hugo already before it gets too late.
'My poor daughter,' she tilted her head to the side. When she saw Hugo's bandaged arms, she couldn't help but feel pity.
"Do you want to touch my boobs?"
