BANG.
Lang screamed in pain when Detective Badd's bullet shot through his knee. He fell to his knees slowly to the floor, accompanied by blood that began to flow swiftly and shouted 'AGENT LANG!' from Kay, Franziska, Edgeworth, and Detective Gumshoe. Ignoring the excruciating pain on his knees, he turned. Shih-na is fine, that's the most important thing. The woman now was fixed in her place, looking at him with an empty, cold look.
He blinked his eyes, and his eyes felt wet with tears. The tears not caused of the pain in his knees, but because of his deep disappointment. He feels like he wants to rose, and yells ' Why? Why are you doing this, Shih-na? ' Indeed, he was often lied to, whether by his men, or his friends, but, betrayed by the woman he loved sincerely for year, made he feel like his chest was torn apart. He blinked once again, trying to get up, but as a result he stumbled and fell back to the floor.
When Shih-na was taken by the police officer and Edgeworth calls an ambulance, he can only be silent while watching. He wanted to shout out, pull out all the anger and pain in his heart, but blood continued to pour in his knee, causing his throat locked.
"Foolish fool!" Franziska shouted. "What are you thinking, Agent Lang? That woman betrayed you, and you almost sacrificed your life!"
"Betrayal... she betrayed my trust..." Lang said haltingly. "I... want to... meet her... and ask for an explanation..." Lang tried to get up from the floor but Franziska rudely pushed him to lie back down.
"There, don't talk much, Agent Lang! Lie down, the ambulance is heading here." Maybe this was just Lang's feeling, but Franziska sounded like she was about to cry when she said those words.
"Gosh, why doesn't the blood stop?" Franziska's lips trembled as she tried to stop the bleeding on Lang's knee with a handkerchief.
About 20 minutes later, the ambulance arrived. When he was put up on the gurney, Lang saw Franziska's worried face on him. He wanted to thank Franziska for worrying and taking care of his wound, but over time her face became blurred, and everything went dark.
With running, the EMT pushed Lang toward the operating room. Even though his knee had been bandaged by Franziska's handkerchief, the bleeding didn't stop. Franziska and Edgeworth followed them behind.
Saw Lang who usually was dashing and a little annoying now fainted helplessly on the gurney, with his pants covered in blood, an oxygen tube in his nose, and his breath sounded a little irregular, making Franziska's heart feel devastated. But she knew Agent Lang was a strong man, a small bullet pierced his knee wouldn't kill him!
"Emergency code! An Interpol agent was shot in the knee and lose a lot of blood! The operation must be carried out immediately!" shouted the EMTs.
A blonde doctor approached them, then nodded.
"Alright! Prepare operating room number 3 and the equipment now!"
"Wait, Doctor!" shouted a black hair nurse. "We can't carry out the operation now! The blood supply has run out! We have to order the blood bank first!"
"WHAT? But we can't delay, Adelina! This man lost a lot of blood, if we delay his operation, he will die of blood loss!"
Unexpectedly, Franziska suddenly screamed hysterically while swinging her whip.
"You idiot doctor! You have to save him! Whatever the way! If Agent Lang dies, I swear I will sue you, foolish fool doctor and nurse!"
"Franziska, calm down!" Edgeworth exclaimed. "This is a hospital, you can't shout and whip anyone!"
"But they will let Agent Lang die, Miles! No, I can't let Agent Lang die!" Tears ran down Franziska's cheeks. Her shoulders up and down in anger, and her body trembled so violently. A little dumbfounded why his stepsister who usually was so cold became emotional like this, Edgeworth buried Franziska into his arms.
"Keep calm, Franziska, I'm sure there will be a way out." While continuing to caress Franziska's back, Edgeworth turned towards the doctor and the nurse. "What is Agent Lang's blood type?"
The doctor checked his notes. "AB."
"AB?!" Franziska stopped crying suddenly. "In that case, Agent Lang's blood type is the same as my blood type! May I donate my blood to Agent Lang?"
"Sure, miss. Come on, come with me to the lab room now," said the doctor.
"Good luck." whispered Edgeworth.
When Franziska, the doctor, and the nurse went to the lab, Edgeworth sat with confusion in the waiting room.
Not as usual, Franziska was emotional and behaved like that. I also didn't want Agent Lang to die, but seeing Franziska earlier... like she was ready to kill the doctor and the nurse. And the fact that she thoughtlessly would donate her blood to Agent Lang... Is this what I thought?
Is... Franziska Von Karma, the prodigy prosecutor, falling in love with Agent Lang?
Edgeworth snapped from his reverie, and laughed at himself for having such stupid thoughts.
Franziska closed her eyes when the nurse stabbed her arm with a needle and took her blood. The nurse had told her that Agent Lang needed 600 cc of blood so they could operate him, and she immediately said yes without thinking. She will save Agent Lang, and no one can prevent her.
Even though she hated to admit and realize it, she knew that she had fallen in love with Agent Lang for months, since they worked together in investigating the smuggling ring case. At first she refused to believe that she really fell in love with a man who looked like a wolf and often annoyed her by calling her 'Sis.' But, if her heart always pounding, every time Agent Lang called her, her cheeks was always flushed if she has to talk alone with Agent Lang, what feeling is it other than love?
Unfortunately, Agent Lang was not aware of her feeling at all. Very clear to Franziska that Agent Lang fell in love with Shih-na, it didn't count several times he flirted Shih-na in front of her. She must always hold back her jealousy by not slamming something or whipping Shih-na with her whip as strong as possible every time Agent Lang looks so close to Shih-na.
And now, the woman that Agent Lang loved had stabbed him in the back. Will she, Franziska Von Karma, who has never had experience with love, managed to conquer the heart of the wolf boy?
"Miss Von Karma, hello?" the nurse said, waving her hand in front of Franziska's face.
"Y-yes?"
"Blood transfusion is complete, you can wait in the waiting room with Mr. Edgeworth while we operate Agent Lang."
"Oh yes, all right. Save him, please. I will never forgive you if Agent Lang doesn't survive."
"Don't worry, Miss Von Karma. Leave it to us. "
"You fool. Foolish Fool."
Franziska looked at Agent Lang's face, who was still asleep due to the influence of anesthesia. His jacket was replaced with gray hospital gown and for some reason, Franziska thought it make him look far more sexy.
"Come on Franziska, we go home. It's already night. The doctor said Agent Lang will not wake up until tomorrow morning." Edgeworth said as he folding his arms with slightly irritated because Franziska had not released her eyes from Agent Lang for two hours.
"You just go home now if you want to. I'll take care of Agent Lang here."
Edgeworth raised his eyebrows. "Very concerned about the wolf boy, apparently you, huh?"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm going to take care of Agent Lang here ... Even you're not as cared and worried as this when I was hospitalized a few months ago." Edgeworth can't help but smirk.
"Agent Lang's family is in a distant country, he needs me if he needs anything. His legs have just been operated!"
"Hmph." Edgeworth snorted. "Alright, I will go home now, enjoy your time with the man you love."
"Miles Edgeworth, you-"
Deftly, Edgeworth dodged Franziska's whip and slightly ran outside the room. He hold back himself for not to laugh out loud as hard as possible. He felt amused and could not stand that this day finally come, the day when Franziska Von Karma fell in love with a man.
He felt even more amused when he imagined if Franziska and Agent Lang were dating. Maybe Agent Lang will get a whip hundred times a day if he can't satisfy Franziska. Still holding back his laughter, he walked to his car and returned home.
Quiet. Everything was white. The pain in his knee really tormented him. He blinked several times to make his eyesight became clear. Ugh, of course, they took him to the hospital. The most hated place by him in the whole world. His whole body felt ache. Then he realized that he was very thirsty. He tried to change his sleeping position to sit, but there was something on his chest that pressed him and prevented him from sit up.
He was just about to throw that object from his chest but he immediately realized that it was not an object, but Franziska Von Karma's head. Her head drooped on his chest, and he could hear Franziska's snoring, she sounded so tired.
What makes Sis so exhausted until fall asleep on my chest like this? Is she look after me all night long?
Inevitably, Lang felt touched. If Franziska indeed take care of him in the hospital overnight, he felt very grateful. Because he knew, he would be very upset if there was no one beside his bed when he was hospitalized.
Lang shifted his body slightly, then carefully moved Franziska's head from his chest to the edge of the bed for not wake her. He glanced at the table, his jacket lying there. He slowly put his jacket on Franziska's shoulder. He watched Franziska's face, and he must admit, the prosecutor who was fierce and always carried a whip everywhere looked so cute when she was sleeping.
But ... what made her care so much about me, until she wanted to stay overnight here and get exhausted like that? Isn't she usually indifferent to the people around her?
To be continued ...
