"Emelia waters." He softly answered, after hearing what he said she took a swift glance around her and pointed at one place with fewer beds around it, even though there were a lot doctors not all would be available for patients', since it depended on the situation beside that some of these doctors were also teachers as well.
Bernard thanked her before walking towards where she had pointed, and softly placed Emelia on the hospital bed. Looking at her expression he noticed beside looking extremely pale, it seemed like she was also having some sort of nightmare since her face showed great pain and fear.
As she lay on the bed she seemed like she was struggling, sometimes she would grab her chest then a few drops of tears would roll down her face, other times she would growl out muddle words.
Bernard stared at her with even more guilt, he knew this was probably one of the side effects of being bitten by a vampire however he was helpless about it since he didn't have any solution.
'Damn it…why do the movies make it seem so easy.' Bernard help but curse inwardly as he thought to himself, he wasn't sure if she was having a nightmare or was hallucinating, but he knew this was one of the signs.
The book about vampires obviously wouldn't tell him about all this, beside having constant hunger, growing weak in the sun and the need for blood, there was no clear details on how their vampiric works since no one had ever been a vampire before, at least not in this world publicly at least.
Without realizing it, he moved closer and was holding one of Emelia's hands in his, in doing that seem to have reduced the pain in her expression however he wasn't aware of this since he was lost in his own thoughts.
Jane had been watching for a while as she stood from afar, while she didn't know how deep their relationship was, she had made her own wild guesses and assumed it was extraordinary and special after all what she was seeing already spoke for itself.
Soon Jane came over after her initial light coughing sound, Bernard's thoughts were abruptly disrupted so he looked at her, wondering if she had just finished her business with the other patients.
This time immediately she walked over, she didn't say anything and began to examine Emelia who had sweat all over her face, she raised her brow when she touched her forehead just as she was about to say something to him she suddenly closed her mouth.
On her expression was a look of surprise, as she touched Emelia's neck realizing there were four tiny holes marks there she had almost failed to notice, since they seemed to have almost blended with her skin to the point if one didn't pay special attention they would have thought it to be normal.
After a while, she turned to him and asked."What happened to her?"
"I don't know, we were supposed to go to the cafeteria together but she took an excuse to take something in her room, however, I noticed something was amiss when she wasn't back for five minutes so I went to look for her only to realize she had lost consciousness beside her door," Bernard said, lying through his teeth.
"Okay, did you notice anything before then, like did she complain of something?" Jane raised her brow and asked again.
"No." He shook his head.
"Hmm, classes seemed to have ended not too long, which meant this happened during the period of five minutes, even though the wound seemed a bit fresh oddly enough the particular area seemed to be healing gradually." Jane looked at Bernard for a few seconds, almost like she was waiting if he had anything more to say before she began tapping again.
"However, I am sorry to say even though the wound is healing on its own, it might leave a little something like a scar on her neck region."
Jane then looked at Emelia's expression, before looking at her neck region where the four bite marks were, to her surprise even though it was slow the place was healing extremely well and if it were to continue like that it would probably heal on its own, she thought to herself.
"Excuse me, would it be okay if I wait for her?" Bernard asked out of concern and guilt, seeing the expression on his face Jane had a grin on her face like she knew the fuck was going on.
"That would be great."She looked at him before saying." Am sure she's also thinking about you."
Bernard was dumbfounded, and widened his eyes with a look of surprise wondering what the fuck was going on, did the nurse misunderstand something? He would have liked to correct her but he was barely in the mood to defend himself, so he could only sigh in resignation.
Looking at her expression, he could see an all knowing look any person who had assumed what wasn't true would have, to the point he felt like she had even gone off point with her wild thoughts, seemingly like she knew what had happened she winked at him before moving to attend to other patients again.
