QT: Against My Will

419 7.43 – Bing Shi Became A Patient In The Hospital For The First Time – War Of The Wickeds

Startled, Elera didn’t expect to have her advice come biting back at her. Silvia LeClére successfully framed her and gained most people’s pity by really injuring herself, per the advice. The only difference was that instead of falling face down first, Silvia fell on her back.

It was not like Elera never went against the people who wanted to see her demise, so why did it feel so wrong when she finally ‘won’ against Silvia LeClére?

Silvia LeClére was undeniably vicious, but also very stupid. Every scheme she came up with, ended up turning against her. Seeing her suffer was fun and satisfying at first, but it quickly turned boring, almost uncomfortable.

Victor accompanied Elera to her dormitory after they walked out of the hospital ward. Silvia’s ordeal would start tomorrow. Her whole harem of ten men showed up, and nobody successfully woke her up from the ‘dead’ yet, “It’s not your fault. She made the decision herself.”

“But she asked me first...” If only Elera stopped Silvia... No, it was too late for regrets. She would gladly see Silvia’s death, but not like this: under her hands. The source of their annoyances was gone, yet nobody seemed to be able to sigh in relief, “I’m going to look for Nathaniel.” He was the only one who didn’t show up yet.

Victor grabbed her wrist, “Wait.” What was there that Nathaniel could do but he couldn’t? Nothing. Everything Nathaniel did, he could do better. Silvia was connected to the life support, which meant she wasn’t completely gone until they cut her cords off.

Bing Shi realized that this was her first time being a patient inside the hospital. She was always quite healthy, except for the period of ‘home-care’ her husband put her through. Most of the time, she would be the apple-peeling lady by the patient’s bedside.

When Victor and Elera returned to the ward, Silvia already woke up, “...” Wrapped in bandages from head to toe like a mummy, she looked vulnerable, yet annoying like an unkillable cockroach. Why? Because that mummy was currently getting her nails painted!

.....

Sitting on her bed, Ezikiel chewed on a gummy snake as he drew a few cherries on Silvia’s nails. His movements were so fast and precise that her nails were done within a minute.

Ziek didn’t know if he should be grateful for Bing Shi not being able to feel any physical pain. Whether she cut off her legs or jumped on the spot, it would feel the same. She would only receive recollections of Dai An’s flashbacks. She was no longer the old Bing Shi. His worries about her getting sore were completely unnecessary!

|”Get a matching nail set with me, please.”|

|Did all the sex fuck up with your head?|

|”No, but I’m prepared to negotiate with you for a whole week. State your conditions.”|

Bing Shi didn’t know when it started but one day, she woke up with a set of cute, rainbow-themed nails. She couldn’t believe how easily she got bribed as she didn’t mind how the father and son duo sneaked in some of their toys from the apartment next door.

Ziek looked up into her eyes, pointing at his mouth.

|”I have no idea how to use Silvia’s abilities.”|

|Then pretend you know.|

Victor and Elera didn’t find Ezikiel’s arrival suspicious anymore. This explained why that boy showed up by Silvia’s side. It was to find a way to heal his mutism. The reason was so obvious, yet the narcissistic princess was so full of herself that she kissed Ezikiel. Did she think that Ezikiel was asking for a kiss?!

Ziek widened his eyes, his brain stuttering in shock for a moment when he saw her sitting up in her condition. The wounds behind her cast and bandages opened up, filling the air with the scent of blood. A flash of cold grief washed over his heart, unable to reach the world, he was stuck in time, catatonic. He told them he wanted to see the truth, but oh, fucking damn.

Bing Shi slipped a rejuvenation pill inside his mouth and also took a pill for Silvia’s body. Noticing her condition, she got out of bed to take a shower.

The boy was faster though. He dashed into the ward’s bathroom and banged the doors close, locking it from the inside. He leaned over the toilet to vomit out the old memories, which he couldn’t digest no matter what.

If someone thought her husband would find her attractive no matter how bad she looked then she would like to break that fantasy. Bing Shi lifted her arm, sniffing at the bad odour seeping out of her skin. He hated the smell of her blood and the sight of her wounds more than anything. If he ever left a bruise on her skin, it would disappear as soon as he discovered it. Gosh, that man surely knew how to turn their lovemaking into something she looked forward to doing.

‘~Oh, so that’s why.’

‘What? Tell me.’

‘~Do you remember our last car date with Earl Fester? He acted very strangely when Silvia LeClére got her period. I didn’t realise it until I went to the toilet and saw a little drop of blood on my underwear. He stopped the period the moment it appeared, then disappeared into his space for a good short while afterwards.’

‘Alright, I think it’s for the best to act as if I saw nothing.’

‘~I agree, it looked like he wanted to deal with it alone.’

Bing Shi suddenly felt bad for what she did. He agreed to let her jump out the window without protest and even told her he would accompany her the whole time. She thought she would use it as an excuse to procrastinate through tomorrow’s ordeal and chill a bit in the hospital, but oh well... maybe she should start with some light stretching? She slowly pulled the various tubes off her body.

*pluck*

*pluck*

‘I feel so baaad.’

‘~Who told you to be so extra?’

‘I just thought I would rather jump off the window than get into a lengthy word fight with the food lady.’

Bing Shi swallowed another rejuvenation pill urgently to fasten the healing process, even though she knew the potency couldn’t be stacked up.

*pluck*

*pluck*

She also began to press the emergency button for the nurse to quickly come and open her medication drawer filled with ointments and bandages.

*press*

“...” Elera thought Silvia became crazy from all the brain damage caused by the fall.

Victor, who thought about bringing Silvia back to life, turned around to leave, taking Elera together with him. First Riley, then Elera, and now this. Just when he was checking the boy out, this had to happen to Ezikiel. Why was she targeting the people he fancied? Was she jealous? He doubted it.

Victor: {Nora, watch her every step.}

“Victor, wait,” Bing Shi waved at Victor to stop him from leaving.
