Chapter 308 - Wounded...!

"JAVIER! Don't even t-"

"Or just leave. I will see myself where she is." Javier immediately turned around and started to walk in the direction of the corridor towards the exit.

Both Frick and Ryan just stared at the man's back and his shadow which started to turn fader and didn't as much as he walked away from the rest of them. They weren't surprised either, because this man is subtly stubborn. 

But Frick was worried, so was Ryan. "He… is going on the wrong path," Frick comments when Ryan keeps mum. He had no words to describe how this man will change due to the external changes. 

"Maybe... that will get the animal out? Maybe that soft side appears again?" Ryan suggested but Frick declined with the dead-end possibility about this. A slight mist appeared in his eyes when he tugged his hands in pockets, "He is a wounded animal, who will not recover from the mere girl. If he does, then, believe me, he is… one day going to fall very bad in that trap." 

…

Young Javier held his backpack on his shoulder when he started to come in the direction of the girl's dorm. He kept his head down but that never hindered his process of searching through the gates. 

When reached the entrance of the lobby, he saw the guardian not there. 'At least she isn't here. If that woman was here..she wouldn't have let me in for sure..' The lady guardian was strict and this wasn't any rumor on their campus. 

Making his way inside, he started to get into the lobbies. They were pretty much empty because most of the students were in their classes. At the same time, while making a turn at the corner of the corridor, his eyes fell on a certain person. 

Javier took a few steps back and hid behind the wall, not to come to the sight of Hannah. His heart was stuck to hear her talking to someone on the phone when Hannah passed from his side to go straight. 

"Hmm. You are right…. I told her but who will tell her about this? Anyways, I will ask the chemist to give me these medicines….. I don't know if that will work or not.." 

Hannah kept on walking without even speaking an eye to the man who had heard her words. A deep frown curved over his forehead when he realized the entire situation, "She...she is seriously ill.." 

Knowing that it would be wrong either, he walked out of the girls' building. Rather than going somewhere else, his legs pulled him towards his own dorm. 

Coming inside, he locked it from behind before he opened the drawer present at the side of his bed to find the bottle filled with the liquid. Staring at the same in his hand, Javier's eyes narrowed, "This will make her recover fast.." 

…..

*Cough* 

Jennifer laid on the soft mattress of another single bed in her room. It was soft when she used the entire blanket to cover her body, even her head. The constant sound of sneezing and coughing can be heard in the empty room.

"Achoooo.." Jennifer brought her hand and rubbed her nose slightly when she tried to find a comfortable position for her to sleep. 

The headache was making her almost yell but when she tried her best to control and drift back to sleep. 

Bringing the blanket closer to her neck, Jennifer closed her eyes again and was ready to sleep as the medicine was showing its effect. However, the silence broke in the dorm when she heard a sound. 

Immediately, she got up from her bed and turned around to look at the ground beneath her bed. There was a stone on the floor. 'How come this stone came inside?' she wasn't sure but then her eyes averted to see the window open. 'Is it sent by someone?'

Jennifer had no idea as the puzzledness spread all over her face. As her dorm was on the ground floor, it wouldn't be new to her if it was thrown by any student to irritate her. 

Jennifer threw the blanket of hers and put her feet into her slippers. She got up from her bed and took the stone in her hand to stare at it. "It has a paper attached?" 

It was almost impossible for her to understand a single thing. But then, she walked closer to the other window, ready to close it. Unfortunately, what she saw was a rope in her widow, attached to something...a packet? 

Lines were formed on her forehead when she pulled them towards her, to bring packets of something towards her. When she got her hands on them, what came in her sight was a small bottle. "Who will give me a bottle?" 

"And….if not something else but a bottle?" her eyes were almost carrying heaviness. Her sleep was at the bay when she saw a handwritten note attached to the robe that was inside her room.

Jennifer's heart was almost beating too fast, unknown to her what exactly is going on right now. Who could have sent this to her? Is there someone who is interested in irritating her or what? She wasn't interested in assuming the wrong thing so Jennifer ended up opening the letter to read. 

'You shouldn't have been soaked in the rain that day. Anyways, now, you have to drink this. You will be fine at the end of the day and sleep after drinking this. Stay safe…

Unknown~

The simple message made Jennnifer feel the thunder in her chest when she lifted her eyes to stare here and there. Out of the window, all she saw was the ground and nothing else. 'Maybe.. some well-wisher of mine....' 

This was the only possibility that was revoked in her mind. Neither was she interested to give it any further thought, after all, her health was the prime factor.

Taking the bottle inside, she closed the windows and locked it from inside.

While the young Javier was hiding behind the trees to see her from a certain distance. His eyes fell on the packet that slipped inside as a wide smile that earlier faded, had surfaced on his lips again.

His heart and soul started to wind up with the time when he realized that whatever he did was enough. "Girl… you have seriously trapped me in this.."

….

The next day.

Javier and Frick were currently in their own class, as both the men sat one behind another. As usual, Javier maintained the same demeanor, yet his heart wasn't at rest even a bit.

His legs were already moving in urgency, with the only hope for the class to just end and him getting to talk with Frick-related things.

But his patience was already lifting off the limit as Javier finally pinched Frick from behind to gain his attention. Sensing the sharp pain, Frick immediately turned around to face Javier, "You want me to beat you into pulp?"

"Will you dare to do it in front of the entire class?" Javier asked with his 4aised eyebrows. In return for the same, he got a sharp glare when Frick once again turned around to face the teacher.

Yet this wasn't enough for Javier who could sense that something was surely wrong with this man. "Alright. Don't act as if you are very much interested in learning what she is teaching."

"Neither are you but at least be attentive. You never know if she asks and we aren't able to answer. This will ruin my image in the minds of girls so please.." hearing this comment only made Javier roll his eyes. 

'Such a flirt he is for them..' why was Javier not surprised by the fact that Frick won't let anything affect his girl's reputation. "They won't mind if you don't answer any single question."

But Frick never listened to his words. He kept his eyes towards the front, and nothing the same, Javier knew he had limited time. 'Who knows if he will vanish with some other girl during break..'

With this thought that kept on lingering in his brain, Javier used his shoes to get Frick to rotate, "Buddy, what is actually disturbing you?"

"I want to know something. You will have to find out some information for me…" Javier told, in return, to get a nod, "About whom?"

"Well… you know the person already." As if Frick got some hints, his brows shift from their original position at the thought, "Y-Yoy means.. to say.. the.. lady. "

"You cracked my words, congratulations brother!" Javier smiled but that smile never made Frick's heart even a bit calm. Rather, what he came across was fury and a bit of reluctance as well. The same expression made Javier alarmed when he could collect the pieces which were saying that something was deadly wrong....

"W-what happened…"

"I will not find out anything about that girl named Jennifer! No means no, don't even think.."
