The Satan CEO's Woman: He Unexpectedly Fell in Love with Her

Chapter 33 - 33: She's Awake



Nathan looked at Kim Eunji who was lying on the hospital bed and was still unconscious inside the ICU. It was almost twenty-four hours but she's still unconscious.

Because of this Nathan grew even more anxious. He already called Kelly and informed her of what happened.

But what puzzled him more was the latter's reaction when he told her that Kim Eunji's in the hospital. The latter asked him of why he brought her to the hospital. She also warned him to make the doctors who treated Kim Eunji to never disclose to anyone their findings about Kim Eunji.

Also Mike Roland would be flying to Osaka immediately to check on Kim Eunji.

This reaction kind of made Nathan to be curious. 'Are they hidding something from us?' That's what he thought.

He looked at Kim Eunji who looked pitiful because of the bandage that was wrapped around her forehead and the apparatuses attached to her body.

Nathan had already ordered Marco to coordinate with the local police to investigate why such animal trap existed in a protective area.

And he was expecting an immediate response from them.

On the other hand, Mei was also constantly checking on her son as he had been looking after Kim Eunji inside the ICU and had not slept yet.

"Son. I think you should go home and get some change of clothes. I'll look after her in your stead." Mei persuaded.

"Mom, why isn't she waking up yet?" Nathan asked Mei.

"Son, that... I cannot answer." Mei sighed in defeat.

"It's okay Mom. I can still manage. You should go home and rest, too. I'll go check grandma from time to time." Nathan looked at his mother and knew that she had a little sleep, too. His grandmother had been not in a good condition lately. It was said that the latter was only hanging by the thread.

When his grandmother found out the news that Nathan had introduced a girlfriend to Mei, she even asked Mei to tell her grandson to get married already so that she could get the chance to have a great grandchild.

Both mother and daughter was urging Nathan to marry Kim Eunji. The woman whom they had not interacted with yet but they had already wanted her to be married to Nathan and bore a grandchild for them immediately.

"Don't be stubborn. She'll be fine." Mei persuaded him once more.

"No Mom. She's now my responsibility. I... I wanted to be by her side when she wakes up. I don't know. I just feel the need to." Nathan explained.

"Well, you should! She's so beautiful! Such beauty... she should have a lot of admirers that is more than willing to swap with your position." Mei said as she looked at Kim Eunji through the glass window.

Upon hearing about the possibility that another man would be in his position rather than him, Nathan's gaze turned cold. There's no way he would let that to happen. Mei smiled as she saw his son's reaction.

"Stinky brat! Were you living inside the cave all this time that you had just meet her now? What took you so long to find her, huh?" Mei chidded her son.

"I don't know Mom. Out of nowhere, she just showed up all of a sudden." Nathan explained helplessly.

"She's best friends with Ah Jing's wife. In fact, Aunt and Uncle Mo decided to recognize her as their Goddaughter." He added.

"Oh. So you met her in Ah Jing's wedding?!" Mei asked in surprise.

"Yes." He shortly answered though we all knew that that was not their first encounter. But he decided to not tell it to her as it doesn't matter anyways.

"Goddaughter? Then she must be really good-hearted to earn such reognition from the Mos." Mei Johnson added.

"Hai!"

"Good thing Mo Jing-sheng met his wife first before her best friend. Mo Jing-sheng's a very likeable man. And had a clean slate when it comes to women. If she had met Mo Jing-sheng first, the latter would really fell for her." Nathan inwardly shook his head as he had no way to refute his mother's words.

He was indeed lucky that Mo Jing-sheng met Kelly first as there's no way he would have a chance against Mo Jing-sheng. Not because he felt that he's inferior to him but because there's no way he would snatch a sister-in-law from his best friend. They had a silent oath about it in their group.

"Such a shame. Her operation may left a scar on her body but she should not be depressed about it. I'll help her with that." Mei commented which made Nathan to snap out of his thoughts.

"Easy Mom. Instead of her warming up to you, she might get overwhelmed and not approach you." Nathan reminded her.

"Nope. I'm going to make sure my daughter-in-law will like me and love me."

Somehow deep inside, Nathan was happy to see that her mother accepted Kim Eunji. He knew that Kim Eunji would like his Mom too. After all, his Mom and Madame Mo had the same attitude when it comes to their children.

While they were talking outside, Kim Eunji's monitor suddenly alarmed. Nathan immediately rushed inside Kim Eunji's room while Mei called for help.

The doctors rushed inside soon after and immediately checked on Kim Eunji. While they were treating her, Nathan was anxiously waiting outside. He didn't know why…why he felt something like this.

Why did she have such effect on him in any ways? He could just left her at the hospital while he himself would be resting at home. But he didn't. Was it love?

He was lost in his own thoughts that he didn't realize the doctor was already standing in front of him.

"Son." Mei tapped his shoulder to help him snapped out of it.

"What is it?" He asked the doctor again.

"There's nothing to worry about. The patient had passed the critical stage." The doctor explained.

"She's awake?" He asked her with relief evident in his eyes.

"She regained consciousness earlier but she fell back to sleep."

"Is it a good sign or a bad sign?"

"Don't worry Johnson-sams, she's okay. She can be transferred in a private room." The doctor reassured.

As he heard that, Nathan's tensed muscles finally relaxed.

Right then, he made a vow to never let the woman be away from his sight ever as he's afraid something like this might happen to her. She had given him a great scare to the point that he almost lost his mind.

"Good."

***

Nathan let Marco arranged Kim Eunji's room in the VVIP section of the hospital as agreed. Kim Eunji's room was right beside the room of Nathan's grandmother.

Nathan's hair was no longer combed neat. In fact, it's already messy but beautifully messy.

He was still wearing the same blood stained shirt that he had worn the other day.

The butler had already brought a new set of clothes for him earlier together with a healthy soup for him and Kim Eunji to eat.

He had been subconsciously holding Kim Eunji's hand and gave it a gentle caress.

What's wrong with him?

Kim Eunji suddenly groaned which made Nathan to press the intercom to call the doctor.

While waiting, Kim Eunji's eyes flickered and her forehead creased.

Seconds after, her eyes opened.

Nathan immediately scooted to her side and grabbed her hand.

"Eunji." Nathan softly called but he was taken aback when Kim Eunji suddenly sat up and pushed him on the floor with her weight. She then pulled the I.V tube and coiled it around his neck. And pulled it to lock on Nathan's neck to choke him. Afraid that he would hurt her if he would fight back, he decided not to do it. He looked at her straight in the eye instead. And he was stunned when he saw killing intent in her eyes.

Though she sensed that Nathan had no intention to fight back she still pressed him hard on the floor with her elbow on his neck as she straddled him.

"Who are you?!" She asked in a hoarse voice.

"I'm Nathan. Yo-ur boy-frie-nd. D-on't you remember me?" Kim Eunji shook her head and was about to say something.

"I..." Kim Eunji suddenly held her head and she winced in pain.

"Are you okay?" Nathan asked and at the same time the doctors rushed inside the room. They immediately held Kim Eunji by her shoulder but Kim Eunji pushed them all causing her wound on the side to bleed.

She's still weak and her mind was in a mess. The doctors took advantage of her confused state and managed to give her a depressant drug to calm her down.

Nathan coughed a little bit as soon as Kim Eunji was removed from his body. Mei rushed towards Nathan and asked him if he's okay. She then looked at Kim Eunji who was held by the nurse and was then laid on the bed with an unknown expression on her face.

Nathan then looked at Kim Eunji who was now laid back on the bed and then to his mother who was standing beside him.

He sighed as he said, "Mom, it's okay. I'm okay."

Nathan thought that his mother would disliked Kim Eunji but to his surprise, Mei meaningfully smiled as she said, "Seems like you had finally found your match son." Mei then tapped his shoulder and excused herself as she still had to go back onto the other room to tell Nathan's grandmother of what happened.

Nathan gently shook his head as he didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.

***

"What happened to her? Why can't she remember me?" Nathan asked the doctor afterwards.

"Seems like the patient's suffering from amnesia."

She forgot a year long of her memories.

"Can she still recover those memories?" Nathan asked her.

"There's a posibility that she could recover them. When? It depends. The human brain is still full of wonder and very complex to understand after all." She explained.

Nathan heaved a buge sigh of relief as be heard that.

After the doctor left, Nathan got inside the room and saw Kim Eunji who was sleeping as the drug took effect on her body.

But it didn't last that long as she woke up an hour after but this time, she was calmer.

Nathan who was sitting on the couch as he checked on some contracts and reports immediately placed his tablet on the couch as he walked beside the bed.

"I'm sorry." Kim Eunji apologized.

"It's okay. I know you're confused right now." Nathan comforted.

"Are- are you?"

"Am I really your boyfriend?" Nathan finished the question for her. Kim Eunji nodded in response.

"Yes." Nathan then grabbed her hand and gently squeezed them.

"Impossible." Kim Eunji scoffed in disbelief.

"I managed to make you agree in becoming my lover." Nathan did not tell her the whole truth of it.

"Since when?" She asked.

"The other night." Nathan answered.

"Agree... agree... then that means we got together by agreement and not by love right? You tricked me to be your woman?" Kim Eunji's expression became sullen as she thought that Nathan tricked her.

"Correction Miss Kim. I did not trick you. You agreed voluntarily." He cockily said as he looked at Kim Eunji who was now angry.

'Even if she's has amnesia, she's still bitchy?' Nathan thought.

"And since you agreed to be my lover, there's no turning back now Miss Kim."

"What do you mean?" Kim Eunji asked as for some reason she felt her heart in chaos.

"Oie! What are you doing?!" Kim Eunji panicked as Nathan drew his face closer to her.

"You're mine."
