Chapter 214 - First Time Being Hospitalized

Chapter 214: First Time Being Hospitalized

“Jump off!” Chen Zhao yelled. “Go!”
Everyone jumped off the ship. Amon caught all of them on his back. Everyone was still shocked and dazed. Kate bent down and touched the slippery “ground” under her feet.
“This? This is Amon?”
They finally had a chance to be close to Amon. Everyone was both nervous and excited.
“Look…that Mexican boss is in the sea.”
“Amon.” Chen Zhao patted Amon’s back.
He immediately turned around while everyone looked at Chen Zhao. “Are you going to have Amon eat him?”
“Of course not. I don’t want him to get diarrhea, but the guy can’t be let off like this.”
Amon bit Odutra and drowned him in the water. A minute later, he finally let go, but before Odutra could take a breath, Amon dragged him back down.
“Chen, it’s enough. This is enough,” David couldn’t help but say.
Chen Zhao looked at him. “He wanted to rape our friends.”
David realized that all the women were looking at him with similar gazes, so he gave in. “Okay, you’re right.”
Odutra experienced the most terrifying night of his life. He was completely out of his mind after being tormented by that killer whale.
“Chen Zhao, did you get shot?”
He looked down at his chest and immense pain seized him. The next moment, the world spun…
Earlier, he’d been filled with adrenaline, so he didn’t feel anything. Now that he was calming down and David reminded him, he suddenly felt weak.
In a dazed state, Chen Zhao might’ve heard a siren. He felt himself get taken onto an ambulance and felt strong light.
He might have gone into the surgery room…
When Chen Zhao woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day. His head felt heavy and pain came from his chest.
Fali was sitting beside him, but she’d fallen asleep.
“Fali.” Chen Zhao tugged her.
“Chen, you’re awake?” Fali cried in excitement.
“You didn’t sleep the entire night?”
“I slept a little. Do you still feel uncomfortable?”
“I’m fine.”
Fali dipped down to kiss him. “Chen, I don’t want this to happen again, okay?”
“Okay, I promise.” Chen Zhao caressed her.
Just then, two people came into the room—Ethan and Caprice.
“Chen, I heard you got shot, but you look better than I’d imagined.”
“To you, it’s good as long as I’m not dead, right?”
“Chen,” Caprice said. “I promise you I’ll have that Mexican be put in my jail. You can meet him any time.”
“Chen, you guys talk,” Fali said, getting up. “I’ll wash some fruit for you all.”
As soon as Caprice and Ethan left, Zola, Daniel, Manny and Rasfa came to visit as well.
“This is weird. How do you all know I’m hospitalized?”
“You don’t know yet?” Rasfa said, chuckling. “The video of your group fighting the Mexicans has already gone viral. Oh, my company has decided to invest in a movie about your story. We need your permission. How about it?”
“Uh…I need to discuss with my friends. What’s the price?”
“Five hundred thousand dollars.”
“That’s it?”
“That’s a lot. You know, a screenwriter usually only gets tens of thousands of dollars.”
“This isn’t my job.”
“Then how much do you want?” Rasfa asked.
Chen Zhao thought for a moment. He didn’t understand Hollywood, so said, “We’ll decide after I discuss it with my friends. If the movie really starts shooting, I hope you can have two of my friends act in it.”
“Uh…give me your friends’ information,” Rasfa said carefully. “Otherwise, I can’t make the decision.”
“Okay.”
“Chen, you have to call me next time there’s something so fun.” Daniel looked at him excitedly.
“Go away. I almost died and you think it’s fun.”
“You’re so cool. How can you get killed by some Mexicans?” Daniel was confident in Chen Zhao.
Zola was a smart woman. Seeing Chen Zhao and Fali’s actions, she guessed their relationship, so she acted very solemn. She didn’t say or do anything over-the-top to Chen Zhao.
A while after the family left, Mr. Doman and Normans came too. Mr. Doman came to ask about him while Normans came to mock him.
Gaia also came to ask about Chen Zhao’s injuries and then left.
Surprisingly, Morgery and his boss came as well. Chen Zhao wondered if Morgery and his boss would get into a full-out fight if they’d run into Gaia.
Around evening, David, Leonardo, Chris, Sienna, and Kate all came too. They promised to have another party after Chen Zhao was discharged.
…
Chen Zhao was discharged the next day. He didn’t spend more than 36 hours in the hospital. He wasn’t completely healed, but he felt so uncomfortable there.
He couldn’t wait to escape from the patient’s ward and hospital.
Getting onto Fali’s car, he got Dell’s call.
“Chen, I heard from Mary that you’re in the hospital. Why couldn’t I find your room? What room number are you?”
“I’m in heaven,” Chen Zhao said, annoyed.
“You died?”
“F*ck off.”
“Okay, I won’t kid around. Chen, were you discharged?” It was rare for Dell to be serious.
“Yes.”
“When will you take me to see your pet Amon?”
“You’re calling to see Amon, right?”
“No, I really do care about you.”
After ending the annoying call with Dell, Chen Zhao asked, “Is Amon really famous now?”
“Do you know how many tourists go to Angel Beach now? Everyone wants to see Amon. Yesterday, there were more than 100 drowning cases. A lot of tourists don’t even wear life vests and go straight into the deep water to see Amon.”
“How many people have seen him?”
“You’re asking the obvious. Amon isn’t even at Angel Beach.”
As soon as Chen Zhao got home, he grabbed onto Fali impatiently. It had only been a bit more than a day, but Chen Zhao felt like he hadn’t had intimacy in forever.
“Chen…your injuries will open again…”
“It’s okay. I’ll be careful.”
