The Incubus System Chapter 151. Unexpected Reunion

Ethan's PoV

"Ngrokkk --- Ngrokkk!" Larry's snoring voices sounded loudly in my ear since his head continued to lean to my shoulder even though I had pushed him to his original position repeatedly. I even had made him lean against the window on the other side or wake him up. But after he fell back asleep, his head always managed to return to my shoulder and wet it with his droplets of saliva.

'Great! My sweater's right side is wet with Olivia's tears and the left side with Larry's saliva, 'I thought irritably. I could even see Emma's chauffeur trying to hold his laughter secretly.

We had left Diamond College with Emma's car for half an hour and during that time I had to support Larry's head and hear his snoring since I sat between them.

"Do you need some tissue" asked Emma with a pitying gaze.

"I don't need it," I replied. I knew she offered it so I could wrap it over my shoulder so Larry's saliva wouldn't wet it, but I didn't think it had any effect.

"Ngrok --- Ngrokkk! Ngrokkk!" Larry's snoring voices sounded like a hungry pig's grunts piercing my ear.

"Emma, do you mind if I make your car a little dirty" I asked as I was at the end of my patience.

"I do not mind."

"Thank you." Without further ado, I pushed Larry's head again and pressed it against the window on the other side. His cheek pressed against it but he did not open his eyes and continued to sleep, even now his saliva started to trickle down to the window. Unlike before, I didn't remove my hand from the other side of his cheek to make sure that his head didn't return to my shoulder.

Emma giggled at my annoyed face and Larry's innocent face.

"It's not funny, you know," I sulked.

"I'm not laughing at you. I'm just confused how both of you can be friends that long," she said as she took some tissue and began to clean my sweater from the rest of Larry's saliva.

"Isn't that the same as you and Olivia" I answered as I glanced at her. Emma's image was a gentle and elegant woman while Olivia's image was a tomboyish and fierce woman. Of course, it made them look like me and Larry.

Her hand stopped as she just realised it. Shortly a smile appeared on her lips.

"You're right. Maybe those differences that make us understand each other." Her hand moved to clean my sweater again. My eyes locked on her. I wanted to talk to her about a lot of things as if our meeting last night wasn't enough for me, but the chauffeur's eyes continued to watch us from the front mirror's reflection. So I cancelled my intention.

"Ethan ... Thank you ..." whispered Emma.

"For what"

She glanced at the other side of my shoulder, pointing at Olivia's tears that had begun to dry.

"She never showed it to me. I hope she feels better now."

I sighed since I remembered I couldn't give Olivia much help since she didn't want me to interfere.

"I just hope she doesn't make a careless decision ..."

-------

Fifteen minutes had passed, our car had stopped at the parking lot at a hospital in Nighthallow City. The chauffeur had opened the door for us, while Larry was still sleeping with an innocent face.

"Hey, wake up!" I slapped his cheeks repeatedly to wake him up.

"Huh" Larry opened his eyes and swept his gaze around him like a child looking for his missing parents.

"Are we there yet" he said half unconscious. His hand wiped the remaining saliva on the corner of his lips and his cheek was red since that side kept sticking to the window.

"Yeah, c'mon." We got out of the car and walked towards the hospital entrance.

"You should fix the way you sleep," said Emma to Larry with a frown.

"It can't be helped. I've been trying to keep my position, but my head is always looking for a pillowy place," he defended himself.

"Didn't you say I have hard shoulders" I asked in annoyance.

"At least, it's better than a window," he replied with a grin.

Our feet stepped through the automatic glass doors and stopped at the information desk.

"Good evening. How can I help you" asked the receptionist politely.

"Good evening, sir. We want to visit the patient in room 318," said Emma.

'Huh' I was quite confused because Emma gave Theo's room number, not his full name. But I guessed she probably got this information from Theo's family. Meanwhile, because Larry was a demon hunter, she couldn't mention Theo's surname carelessly.

The receptionist gave us a direction to Theo's room.

"All right, thank you," said Emma again. And we stepped our feet towards the elevator.

As we waited for the elevator, Emma suddenly remembered something.

"Oh no! We didn't bring anything for him!" she said in a panic. Bringing fruit or something to the sick was the basic etiquette.

"Meh! Who cares I'm sure he can't eat fruit or whatever we buy for him," said Larry in an indifferent tone.

"But at least we have to give him something," said Emma again.

"Just wait here. I will buy it," I offered myself. I could use my portal skill to go to the fruit shop and come back in an instant.

"What the hell Ah! No, no, no!" Larry pushed us to the open elevator in front of us impatiently.

"I'm sure Theo is happy enough with our visit!" His index finger pressed the button for the floor where Theo's room was.

Emma and I couldn't say anything on this anymore. Though I still felt weird because I didn't bring anything, I admitted that Larry was right. With Theo's wounds, I wasn't even sure we could visit him for too long.

* Tring! *

The elevator doors opened and we walked out from there and down the hallway with the special rooms lined up on either side of us. Those special rooms were used to treat patients with severe illnesses or injuries that required extra attention.

As we arrived in front of room 318, we could see the guest light on the side of the door glowing in red and the small device screen on the top showed that there was a guest in the room.

Emma pressed 'New Guest' on the device screen as we hoped we still had time to visit him since the hospital usually limited visiting time for this kind of patient. It was also used to notify the guests inside that other guests were waiting outside. And luckily, we still had a lot of time to visit Theo.

Meanwhile, Larry tried to peek into the room through a large glass window closed by a curtain on the side of the door.

"I can't believe that annoying person can have friends."

"Are you not his friend" I said bluntly.

Larry turned to me.

"I mean besides us." Then his brows furrowed.

"Wait a sec. Since when did you become his friend"

"I never said that I was his friend. But since I've met him last week and he is Emma's acquaintance so--- here I'm," I replied lightly. I couldn't possibly say that I did this because Theo was my father's former disciple. Besides, I wanted to make sure he was alright.

"Hmm ... Weird. That sounds suspicious ..." said Larry. His hand rubbed his chin downwards as if he brushed his invisible beard. His expression and eyes mimicked a detective who was trying to solve a mysterious case in a movie.

"I was the one who asked Ethan to come with me," Emma said as she walked over to us.

"Ah!" Again he noticed something else and pointed his index finger on Emma.

"Didn't you turn down Ethan last week Why are you suddenly being nice to him" Noticing his harsh words, he turned to me.

"Eh --- Uh ... No hard feeling, buddy," he said awkwardly.

'Has he just realized this now' I thought. I wanted to explain to him but Emma opened her voice.

"Something has happened ..." Then Emma took a glance at me and smiled shyly.

"I think I misjudged Ethan."

"What happened" asked Larry in confusion. But before Emma or I answered, Theo's room door opened, followed by a woman's voice.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

I stiffened as I saw a cute girl who came out of Theo's room. Her red hair hung down her back. A crop top t-shirt with short jeans covering her body. Coupled with an unbuttoned white jacket. Her green eyes stared at me in the same shock. My heart was pounding. While she was also stiffened with the same expression.

I knew her, she was Tiffany Duskblight, my stepfather's daughter from his first marriage. After my mother decided to remarry, she moved into an apartment to live with Tiffany and her father. As we looked at each other in shock, her status appeared above her head and I quickly discovered that she wasn't an ordinary person.
