What Was Worth A Heart

Chapter 90: In A Book

So.....

A month and a half....

Possibly more....

As some of you may know, I am now addicted to Instagram so....ahahahahahha....

Yes, I've kept you guys waiting for so long. Sorry....

So the reason I finally had the motivation to write this stuff was due to some fluff found in Pinterest, oh and recently I have entered the great fandom of Bungou Stray Dogs.

HAHAHAHHAHA.

I think I'm returning to my otaku days. Feels good to be back.

Wait wait wait just a sec!

Some of you may notice, some may not, but I deleted half of previous chapter cuz it contradicted my original plot by a lot. That, and it's partially illogical. So sorry for that, so I might need you to forget about the whole thing and reread this new version.

Love you guys.

"What happened?!"

"It came from the restroom!"

"Everyone stay calm-"

No one stayed calm.

Shao Long could hear the distinctive noise from the outside of the room. He could roughly guess one thing. All the guards were currently not inside the hospital.

Clenching his teeth, Shao Long struggled to stand up. Ever since yesterday, he remembered, he had dozed off in Charles' arms. Ever since yesterday, he had already started feeling an overwhelming sort of fatigue. Hearing the gunshot didn't make it any better. The fact that Shao Jun was in the same restroom as their father did a worse job.

As his got to his feet, Shao Long supported his body on the doctor's desk, only then realizing just how weak he was currently.

He couldn't stop trembling, both from fear and from this dizziness. Something was dragging him down, pushing him to his knees, preventing him from taking another step. Shao Long felt like his heart was being kneaded with a rough roller, turned inside out and even stretched. The general kind of pain that makes you think you're chest is like a drum. Shao Long found himself gasping for breath.

"...Ngh...." Shao Long felt like passing out, but really, can he even allow himself to do that? In his life, the first ever policy has always been for Shao Jun, after all.

Tapping on the doctor's desk a few times in search if his medicine bottle, Shao Long blinked his eyes open, resisting the urge to lose his grip on his conscious.

Hell yeah he was scared. Who wouldn't be, thinking the only family they had left was in the presence of a murderer?

When his fingers touched his medicine bottle, Shao Long grabbed it swiftly, taking out two beta blocker pills from inside it and swallowed them dry.

Too late for water. He couldn't have been able to even pour himself a glass, much less take a sip.

Shao Long didn't wait for the beta blockers to take effect, and instead only lifted himself from any form of support, taking no heed of the heavy weight of his own body pressured onto his legs.

During cardiac arrest, the hearts started beating slower than normal, or possibly stop. Shao Long had a pacemaker for that, so there was no way his heart would stop this easily. However, when the heart pumps slower than normal, blood couldn't reach the furthest limbs such as toes and fingers. That explains the numb sensation on that part of the body, similar to when a person ran at full speed over long hours.
