Chapter 5 Second Meeting

Crystal's POV -

In the afternoon, I was assisting Dr. Nicholas with some work when I heard some loud whispers coming from the hallway. "I think that's enough for now, you can go now. I will call you if I need your help with something," Dr. Nicholas said.

I got out of his cabin after replying to him and saw some nurses whispering something among themselves.

Curiosity got the best of me and I got a little close to them to hear what they were talking about, giggling to themselves.

"Yeah, he is the owner of the hospital too. I have heard he is so handsome. I wonder why he came here today as he never supervises anything regarding our hospital." One nurse whispered.

"Yeah, but who cares? I have heard he is too dreamy and he has got the whole bad boy vibes. Rumours are that he is in the mafia." Another whispered back.

Owner of the hospital? Were they talking about Daniel? What!? Was he visiting?

And the mafia? Did they really exist now? This rumor couldn't be true.

Right!?

I had heard enough so I got out of there and went into my cabin with all my thoughts running through.

After some minutes, I heard a knock on my door for which I replied with a 'come in please'.

I saw Dr. Nicholas entering with a terrifyingly handsome man. What? And the man was none other than the person who was related to everything which got me thinking that I have gone crazy.

Yeah, Daniel Knight.

I was too stunned to speak. They were talking about something which I was clearly not listening to.

Daniel raised his head and our eyes met.

Damn. I couldn't look away. I tried. I really did. But it was like his eyes were demanding me to look at them.

And after what felt like hours, I looked away, not missing the small smirk on his face for God knows why.

Dr. Nicholas started in a hurried voice, "Oh, Ms. Crystal, can you please treat Mr. Daniel here? He had hurt his back. Please be quick. and also, he is Daniel Knight, the owner of this hospital." He said the last sentence in a warning way, to let me know this was more serious than normal business.

I replied with a 'sure' and told Daniel to sit down on the bed without meeting his eyes.

This guy was something. And as I was not able to figure out what's that something in him which attracted me more to him, it was better that I didn't embarrass myself by staring at him again.

He sat down on the bed and I went close to him.

"Um, where is the wound?"

He didn't say anything for another ten seconds and I finally looked at him. He was looking at me as he was trying to figure me out and the way he was looking was really intimidating.

God, I just know that this guy would really know how to stand out in a crowd.

"Uh, you patch him up, Crystal and Daniel, you can give me a call if you need me, though I think you are in a hurry so maybe next time. I have to go, there are some things that I need to do and they are really important." Dr. Nicholas said and left us alone.

Alone. With him. I felt like running away. God, what had happened to me.

I again looked at him and saw that he was already looking at me.

He started unbuttoning his T-shirt and I tried to look everywhere but at him because I felt like I would give away all my secrets, he would figure out everything about me if I stared at him anymore.

Weird, right?

"Here," I heard the familiar voice say. I looked at him and saw that he had removed his t-shirt and I saw a wound on his back when he turned around. It looked like a scar from a knife. Oh God.

I started disinfecting the wound. The scar of the bullet was there too. I wondered if the rumours of him being in the mafia were true because even if he was a CEO, why would he be in such a position that he got so many wounds?

After I was done, I applied some medicine and started patching him up. He didn't even wince.

I wanted to ask him how he got it but it was none of my business so I tried to keep my nose off it.

When I was done, I finally looked at him. He was looking at me, again. I sucked my breath in and tried to form a sentence and succeeded after some seconds.

"Um, it's not that deep but you will have to change the bandage from time to time for at least two days so it doesn't get worse or you don't get any infection," I said in a tone which I thought was a formal tone. I was proud of myself for not to stutter and make a complete fool of myself in front of him.

"So I will just come to you, yeah?" He replied in a deep husky voice.

I died. Shit.

I blinked once. Twice. And then, I nodded.

I didn't notice when he wore his shirt back.

Then, he got up, looked at me again, smirked a little and left.

Uh, what did I just get myself into?

Daniel's POV -

I was about to get in my car when I felt someone watching me. I got in and started driving and as I suspected, there was a car following me.

I sped up my car and they did the same. There was a sharp turn coming and I took the U-turn just so close that it would cause an accident for the other car because of their speed if they didn't already know about the U-turn.

And yes, the car crashed because they didn't have any time to take a turn. I parked my car on the side and got out. I couldn't just let it go now, right? I had to know who did that. Was it Liam again?

When I reached the car, I covered my face with a handkerchief so the smoke didn't suffocate me that much and tried to find their mobile.

I was so engrossed in it that I didn't notice someone sneaking upon me and stabbing me on my back.

Cowards. That's all they can do. Stab me in the back. Didn't they know I despise cheaters?

I looked at the person. He had a mask on. He tried to stab me again but I blocked it. Then I twisted his arm and snatched the knife out of his hold. He tried to wiggle against my hold but it only got tight and I stabbed his arm. He winced in pain then I took out the knife after a minute or two and stabbed him on his right leg. I released my hold and he dropped on his knees and begged me to stop.

Ignoring his pleas, I searched for my phone and dialed the number of one of my trusted men and told him to come here and keep this person in the dungeons as I would deal with him later.

He came 5 minutes later and I handed the coward to him and got in my car.

I had a spare shirt, luckily so I started unbuttoning my shirt to change it as I can't meet her with all the blood on my shirt. That wouldn't be really a good impression.

As my wound was on my back, I wasn't able to see it and I knew it wasn't that deep so I just wore the spare shirt and resumed driving towards the hospital.
