Chapter 15 - amber knows the truth

"He Fainted Again?!" Scene

Same hospital room.

Same chaos.

---

Jonathan slowly opened his eyes… blinked twice…

Then looked straight at Justin.

Jonathan:

"…Who are you?" 😕

Justin froze.

Amber's soul left her body in irritation.

Amber: 😒

She cracked her neck, leaned forward, and said with the voice of a demon:

Amber:

"MR. JONATHAN. DEVIS." 😈

Jonathan flinched so hard he grabbed Justin like a shield.

Jonathan:

"Ahhh—!! Save me!!" 😨

Justin patted his back like calming a scared puppy.

Justin:

"Leave it, sister. Please." 🥰

Amber rolled her eyes.

Amber:

"Fine." 😒

Justin turned to his father, gently.

Justin:

"Dad?" 🥰

Jonathan instantly softened.

Jonathan:

"Huh? Yes? What happened?" 😊

Justin:

"You know who I am, right?" 🥰

Jonathan:

"Of course! My son, obviously!" 😤

Father and son stayed hugging—

Amber watching them with warm eyes.

Amber: 🥰

---

And then reality hit Jonathan again.

He pulled back a little.

Jonathan:

"By the way… what happened? Why am I here?" 😕

Justin:

"Ah— you fainted from shock. Sister brought you here." 🤔

He pointed at Amber.

Jonathan followed his finger, looked at Amber…

…and the memories from the corridor slammed into him like a truck.

Jonathan:

"Ah—!" 😱

faints again

Amber slapped her forehead so hard the doctors outside probably heard it.

Amber:

"I am damn sure he's losing his mind." 😤

Justin:

"Sister…" 😕

"He's not usually like this. I don't know what's wrong with him."

Amber paused.

Amber:

"…What do you mean not like this?" 😶

This confused her.

Because to Amber… this was totally Jonathan-standard behavior.

Justin shrugged.

Justin:

"Oh! Normally he's like—"

Justin deepened his voice and mimicked perfectly:

"'Don't come near me or die.' 😈

He doesn't smile. He barely talks.

Always cold, like an iceberg with legs.

Mostly not home. Always on business trips."

Justin frowned.

"I don't know why he's acting so different today." 😕

Amber stared at Justin.

Then at the unconscious Jonathan.

Her expression turned dark.

Amber (thinking):

"Oh, so THAT'S how you behave when I'm not around?" 😒

(Mr. Jonathan Devis, with god's grace DO NOT wake up right now…

Or you'll sleep for the rest of your life.) 😈😈

Meanwhile—

Jonathan slept peacefully.

Blissfully unaware he was minutes away from death.

Jonathan: 😴😴😴
