It wasn't too long before all of them arrived in the hospital.
Natalie, Jimon, and Hendrix arrived first. They joined the huge amount of crowd that could be seen in front of the hospital.
They went to the front with the help of Hugo and stayed there.
They were there to gather much news that they can while Hugo and Alliyah stayed in the back to monitor what was happening.
Since they only allowed 2 hours of visiting time, a lot of people were expecting that at least they could take just a quick lance of both Noah and Julius.
"I didn't know their influence is this huge," Alliyah couldn't help but to mutter as she looked around.
She couldn't even see Natalie and the others in their position.
Now, she wonders what did they do to get the permission to have a massive mass outside the hospital.
"Well, that's not a problem for them since they own this hospital and they're being backed by the president." Hugo answered Alliyah's thoughts.
Alliyah nodded as she went silent.
It was still 30 minutes before 2 pm and yet the whole street was already filled with people. Hugo and Alliyah were at the very back of the street. They could see how the people arrived at the location with excitement.
[What are you three doing there?] Hugo raised his brows as he tried to communicate with Hendrix. It hasn't been so long and yet he feared that they were doing something embarrassing already.
[Nothing. The people in our front just kept on talking how worried and thankful they were that Noah is awake already.] Hendrix answered in boredom.
Since all of them were wearing a disguise, it was easier for them to move around without being caught.
Hendrix, who was on the front, was getting quite an attention for his looks despite his disguise. He was actually enjoying the stares that was being given to them.
What can he do if he looks very handsome in every disguise that he could think of?
That was the same with Hugo who has been gathering attention in the back as well. Those who just arrive would usually look at his direction with their reddened cheeks. But once they saw Alliyah who was beside Hugo, they would immediately look away.
Hugo has been witnessing it since earlier. He glanced over to the side and saw how Alliyah's eyes were fixated at the crowd in front of them.
"Are you sure you are fine?" He asked her as he saw the beads of sweat forming in Alliyah's forehead.
Alliyah nodded as she smiled. "Yeah. It's just quite hot here." She answered as she wiped the sweat.
Hugo chuckled. He looked at the clock and saw that it was 15 minutes before 2 pm.
Vehicles that were bigger than normal started to arrive.
"Well, how can I forget them?" Hugo whispered to himself as he looked at all the cars that started to arrive. In the side of their car was names of multiple media outlets that were invited in the area.
After a few minutes, multiple black vans arrived. When the door opened, it was President Damien who came with a big smile on his face.
The people shouted in glee. It was their first time seeing Damien up close so they must have been all excited.
Damien's coming wasn't announced to everyone. That means everyone was surprised to see him today.
Hugo and Alliyah stayed in the back without moving even though the people were running around them to have a glance towards Damien.
Despite Damien's old age, he was still loved by people especially with what he had been doing these past few days.
News of him going to multiple charity centers has been popularized online.
"Why aren't we moving? Aren't we supposed to blend in with people?" Alliyah's forehead creased when he saw that Hugo had no will to move even just for a little bit.
"You can go if you want, but I will just stay here." Hugo uttered. There was no point in going anyways since he have seen their shameless face in the past already.
It seems like no one knew that he was the one behind what happened in the party.
Now that he thought of it, for sure, Julius would try to contact his parents to ask them about him.
'Fuck. Why didn't I thought of that?' His eyes widened.
Now that Julius was awake, he was sure that he wouldn't forget about him. After all, based from what he learned about their experiment, they need to find a perfect body for it to be successful.
Hugo's jaw clenched.
It just reminded him of what happened to him in the past.
'I'm so sorry, but not now.'
He needs to contact his family immediately regarding the situation with Julius. He couldn't help but blame her mother for it.
If Verda was only wise enough to not trust them immediately, then they wouldn't be stuck in this position.
Hugo tilted his head to the side. Once they came home later, he will immediately inform his parents about what do they need to do.
Money was already not a problem for them.
He can ask his parents to have a vacation in a short while. After all, Hailey's class will come into an end soon. That will be easier for them to move around to different places if ever.
[They are starting to open up the gate already. There are a lot of bodyguards guarding around the place so be careful especially with Alliyah.]
Hugo stood up straight with what he heard. He walked closer to Alliyah and held her hands all of a sudden.
Alliyah's eyes widened as she gasped. "What are you doing?" her heart was starting to beat like crazy with the sudden action of Hugo.
Thankfully, Hugo was too focused on what they were about to do that he didn't saw how Alliyah's cheeks reddened.
"Let's go now. Stick closer to me." Hugo reminded her as they started to walk forward.
Alliyah nodded as she accepted Hugo's hands. Together, they moved around forward. The crowd was so eager to be the first one that a little commotion had been caused.
Hugo was firmly holding unto Alliyah's hand, not letting it go amidst the crowd. He was looking at her from time to time to see what was reaction as they went closer.
Because of the large number of crowd, they had a hard time moving forward. Hugo had to use his body to shield himself and Alliyah because someone was pushing people at the back.
"Move closer to me." Hugo's voice was filled with seriousness as he pulled Alliyah's hands towards him.
Even though Alliyah wasn't saying anything, Hugo could feel that Alliyah was starting to get nervous as they approach closer to the door.
His eyes could already see the guards guarding people on going inside.
Alliyah's hands were starting to get cold as they further walk towards. Hugo knew that Alliyah was just trying her best to fight the fears that was slowly reappearing in her heart.
The only thing that he could do now was so to be there and support Alliyah. In any time, he could use his powers to stop the time and teleport back to the apartment if it was badly needed.
He kept on looking at Alliyah's side. At this point, he was already hugging Alliyah's body with how close they were.
When they successfully entered the inside of the hospital, several medical staffs and guards were lined up in an orderly manner.
Alliyah's hands trembled as she saw the familiar white uniforms that she had seen when she was locked up in the cell.
It was making her head feel like its about to burst out, but she need to be strong.
Alliyah firmly closed her eyes as her grip on Hugo's hands became tighter. As she inhaled Hugo's scent beside her, her heart started to beat in a normal rate.
It was as if it has a magical effect and its sole purpose was to make her anxious heart, relaxed.
Hugo smiled assuring Alliyah. "Don't worry. Just say if you want to leave and we will immediately leave." He went closer to her ears and whispered right through it.
Alliyah couldn't help but smile at the same time. "Thanks," she uttered.
She appreciates the effort that Hugo had went through just so he could accompany here safely. They can just leave her in the apartment, but Hugo respected her choice and let her go here even after what happened these past few days.
The person in their front, who was guiding every visitor, assisted them in going through multiple floors.
They arrived in the elevator, and since only limited person were allowed to enter, there was a traffic jam on the way.
Hugo wondered if the others were already done. Trying to communicate with Hendrix, he sighed deeply.
[Are you three done already?]
He asked.
It didn't take too long before Hendrix answered.
[Hugo…]
