JAY'S POV
Yay! Today is my discharge day.
I couldn't be happier. Finally, no more hospital food. I swear, I'm completely frustrated with it. Who even wants to eat porridge every single day? Morning—porridge. Lunch—porridge. Dinner—porridge. It's like the hospital thinks porridge can solve every problem in the world.
And the worst part? You can't even throw a tantrum because you still need to take your medicines.
That's why I'm so happy to finally leave. Now I can eat whatever I want, and no one will stop me. And even if someone tries to stop me… I'll just sneak out at midnight and grab something delicious.
Wait… why would I even need to sneak out?
I could just order my team to bring me food.
While I was busy thinking about all these very important food plans, the door opened, and Keifer walked in.
Keifer: "A penny for your thoughts."
I blinked and looked at him.
Keifer: "By the way… you're going to stay with me at our house."
I frowned at him in confusion.
"Our house?" I repeated.
Keifer smirked slightly, clearly amused by my reaction.
Keifer: "Yes, our house. Because you are my Mrs. Watson."
My cheeks immediately heated up.
"Why?" I asked, trying to sound calm even though my heart was beating faster.
Keifer looked at me for a moment before answering.
Keifer: "Because I want to take care of you."
I agreed because if I stayed with them, I would be able to protect them from that rooster and his family.
After that, Keifer went out to fill out some documents. Meanwhile, I packed my things. When I finished packing, I opened my team's group chat, and it seemed like they had already heard the news about my coma.
Group Chat: The Havoc
Thyme: Jay, what happened? You haven't replied in a while.
Gorya: Jay, answer us or we are raiding.
Kevin: Jay, this is not the time for fun. Answer us or we'll come there and everyone will know your identity.
Kanning: Jay, tell us please.
MJ: I'm about to hack all the CCTV cameras in the Philippines to find where you are.
Aum: Jay, are you there?
Thyme: MJ, hack all the CCTVs.
MJ: I'm trying. Give me two days and I'll get the information.
Thyme: Why? What happened?
MJ: Because there's another hacker blocking me, and I'm trying to beat him.
Kevin: Guys, I just found out Jay is in the hospital… and in a coma.
Gorya: What?! How?
Thyme: Kevin, give us the details.
Kevin: Jay got shot by a bullet.
MJ: What?! How did that happen?
Kevin: I don't know. I'm panicking too.
Kanning: Guys, we can go there.
Aum: No, we can't. Our jet is broken and flights aren't working. We can only go after two days.
Thyme: Let's still go. I have my jet and a helipad.
I rubbed my forehead while reading all their messages. These people were seriously about to start a world war just to find me.
I quickly typed before things got worse.
Jay: Guys, stop!
Almost immediately, new messages appeared.
Gorya: Jay?! Are you okay?
Thyme: Jay, what was that?!
I sighed and leaned back on the hospital bed.
Jay: I'll explain everything… but you all need to come here first.
Aum: Jay, you told us not to meet you until your birthday.
Jay: Guys, come now. I need backup.
Kevin: What happened, Jay?
I hesitated for a moment before typing again.
Jay: I'll tell you when you get here.
After sending the message, I closed the group chat…
and opened another one.
Group Chat: The ApexMembers: Jay, Raven, Axel, Nyx, Orion, Zara, Blaze, Sienna, Kai, Victor.
The moment I opened the chat, messages started flooding in.
Raven: Jay?! Is that really you?
Axel: Wait… you're awake?
Nyx: We heard you were in a coma.
Orion: Is the news true?
Zara: Jay answer us!
I sighed and leaned back against the hospital bed before typing.
Jay: Relax. I'm alive.
Blaze: ALIVE?? You were literally in a coma!
Sienna: Do you know how worried we were?
Kai: Who did this?
Victor: Just give the order. We'll handle it.
Raven: Where are you right now?
Axel: Yeah, tell us the location.
Nyx: I can track it if you want.
I rubbed my forehead while reading their messages.
These people were seriously ready to destroy someone just because I got hurt.
I finally typed.
Jay: Calm down, all of you.
Jay: I'll explain everything later.
A few seconds passed before more messages appeared.
Orion: Later? Jay this is serious.
Zara: We thought we lost you.
Blaze: I already prepared a hit list.
Sienna: Blaze relax.
I smiled slightly before typing again.
Jay: Right now, I need all of you to come here.
The chat went silent for a moment.
Then—
Kai: Come where?
Victor: Send the location.
Nyx: I'm ready to book a flight.
I looked out the hospital window before replying.
Jay: The Philippines.
After closing the other chats, I opened another group.
This group only had a few members
Group Chat: Shadow CouncilMembers: Jay, Aria, Leon, Dante.
I typed a message.
Jay: Situation update.
A few seconds later—
Aria: Jay?! You're awake?
Leon: Wait… is that really you?
Dante: We heard you were in a coma.
Aria: Are you okay now?
I leaned back against the hospital pillow before replying.
Jay: I'm fine.
Leon: Fine?? You disappeared for days.
Dante: The whole system went silent after the news.
Aria: We thought something really bad happened.
I sighed and typed again.
Jay: Something did happen.
The chat went quiet for a moment.
Then—
Leon: Who did it?
Dante: Just say the name.
Aria: We'll handle it.
I stared at the screen for a moment before answering.
Jay: Not yet.
Jay: We move carefully.
Leon: So what's the plan?
Jay: First… all of you come to the Philippines.
Dante: When?
Jay: As soon as possible.
Aria: I'll arrange everything.
Leon: Just tell us where to meet
Jay;.Philipines
After sending the messages, I put my phone down and leaned back on the hospital bed.
Everything was finally in motion.
The Havoc was coming.The Apex was moving.
And soon… things were going to get very interesting.
I closed my eyes for a moment, knowing that once I left this hospital, nothing would ever be the same again.
