Becoming A Tech Tycoon Begins With Regression novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72: An Eye Candy

Before Ethan could find a book to scribble on like a mad man, the door to his hospital room opened and in walked Lillian and Aria.

Her eyes, which looked like those of a person who hadn’t slept for days, widened as soon as they rested on Ethan who was now sitting on the bed.

Before either of them could form words, Lillian’s body moved before her mind caught up. She dropped the on the floor with a soft thud and rushed forward, arms wrapping tightly around his neck.

Aria was taken aback by Lillian’s actions. She often teased her friend, but she had never expected Lillian to be this bold. Still, in a way, it was understandable—especially after the state in which they had first found Ethan in his hotel room.

Anyone would freak out after finding some passed out, with their head in a pool of blood.

She remembered them coming back from the beach, early, because Lillian got exhausted.

So they decided to have an early dinner instead. They walked to Ethan’s hotel room door intending to invite him to join them, but when they heard no response, they just assumed he was out, like the previous night.

Well, until Aria tried the door handle and it turned out, it wasn’t locked.

Opening the room’s door, they were met with a scene that caused them to freeze, with Lillian’s going completely white.

On the floor lay a passed out Ethan and under his head was a pool of blood.

Aria remembered fumbling for her phone with slippery fingers, trying to dial emergency services while keeping her eyes fixed on the rise and fall of his chest. That faint movement was the only thing that kept her from completely losing it.

The ambulance ride after felt like a blur. Lillian refused to let go of his hand until they arrived at the hospital.

Luckily, the doctors informed that nothing was wrong and he was completely fine, his brain was just unusually active. Only then were they able to calm down.

She watched as Lillian still clung to Ethan before she sighed in relief. He’s okay now.

Lillian’s mind had finally caught up with her actions and she realized how embarrassing what she had just done was. But then again, she was too embarrassed to let go.

Aria smiled at the situation before turning to Ethan, "you scared the hell out of us yesterday."

Ethan raised his head, looked at her before giving an apologetic smile, "I’m sorry."

"It’s fine," she waved her hand, "as long as you’re alright now."

Lillian finally hesitantly let go of of his neck and slowly pulled back, he cheeks were tinted red from embarrassment but Ethan could see the concern in her eyes.

"D-does your head hurt?" She asked.

"I’m fine," he calmly replied before adding, "I didn’t mean to worry you both. Guess I overworked myself a little."

It wasn’t completely believable but they didn’t press and just nodded at his words.

"I’m glad," Lillian said, before getting off the bed and moving a few spaces back. She was still embarrassed by her actions and she knew Aria would use it as a teasing material on a later date.

"I’ll go call the doctor now," Aria said as she moved towards the door, "and give you two some privacy."

With that, she quickly got out the door before Lillian had the chance to stop her. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Stiffly, she turned toward Ethan, who was still sitting on the bed, watching her with a barely restrained chuckle.

Sensing her embarrassment and wanting to ease it, he quickly said, "Thank you for bringing me to the hospital."

Well, that didn’t help with her blush, but it definitely distracted her from the hug.

"Well, Aria was the one who called the ambulance," her mood visibly dropped, "I just stood there in shock."

"I’m sure you were just shocked," Ethan’s smile softened, "I’m still grateful, to both of you. If it wasn’t for you two barging in, who knows how long I’d have been lying there."

Before she could form a reply, a knock was heard on the door probably from Aria and the doctor.

The door opened, letting in a tall man with a white doctor’s coat and a pad in hand. Aria trailed behind with a silly smile on her face.

Definitely from the fact that the doctor was a handsome man, with black hair and green eyes, he looked like the male version of Lillian with his eyes being a lighter shade of green.

His name tag read Gabriel Bennett, a man who seemed to be in his early thirties. Aria stayed by Lillian’s side while her eyes seemed stuck on the doctor who had moved to Ethan’s side.

Gabriel adjusted his glasses and gave Ethan a professional smile. "Mr. Cross, how are you feeling today? Any dizziness? Headaches? Blurred vision?"
