It's Your Turn To Cry and Beg, Dear Uncle
Chapter 41: Busted By His Own Friends

Chapter 41: Busted By His Own Friends

Matters of the heart were never easy. Her feelings that had dwelled in her heart for three years weren’t just going to go away when she demanded them too. It took more than just several painful heartbreaks before it would eventually fade away. But in the case of Kyra, perhaps she was never fated to escape this man.

James had caught her completely off-guard. When he unhesitantly leaned down and covered her lips with his, her mind had drawn a blank. Who would expect him to kiss her after their intense conflicts?! Moreover, there was no rhyme nor reason when he suddenly turned affectionate.

Wasn’t he disgusted by the very notion of them getting together?

Yet, here he was towering over her, imprisoning her between his arms. His shirt was in a mess from their entanglement and the first two buttons were left opened, exposing his sexy collarbones.

However, the most devastating fact was his grip on her wrist and her hand on the bulge between his legs. If that was not enough to bore shame into her soul, they had to be caught by others in this position.

Kyra was startled into pulling her hand back. Meanwhile, James who had loosen his grip during the noise immediately let go.

On the other hand, the blood-curdling scream had already attracted the attention of other people, particularly the medical staff on that floor. They urgently rushed towards the room.

"What happened?!" exclaimed one of the doctors who had zoomed past the nurses from the other side of the corridor.

"We’re not sure. A lady suddenly screamed from Ms. Synders room."

In the instance the doctor heard that the noise originated from Kyra’s room, he broke out in panic. Cold sweat beaded down his temple. God damn it! That’s the room of an Asura!! If anything happened, all of them might end up in jail with their license gone!

Out of anxiety, he berated the nurse, "Why did you let just anybody into Ms. Synders room?! Don’t you already know who they are?! Are they someone that Tom, Dick, and Harry can just visit??"

The nurse pursed her lips feeling wronged. It wasn’t like she was the one who let them in. That was the job of the front desk, so how could she know? Then again, she was also anxious that something might happen to that young lady.

Although Kyra had been nothing but kind and humble towards them, the people behind her was another story, especially the old master Creighton and Mr. James. Those two were the prominent figures whom they didn’t wish to mess with.

In the end, as they rushed down the hallway, they saw a group of people standing by the doorway of the VIP room. The doctor immediately turned grim and marched towards them like a warden on his way to punish an intruder.

Meanwhile, on that side, Orlando, who noticed the commotion, immediately snapped out of his initial shock and pushed everyone inside. It almost caused a domino fall as Valeria who was standing at the front stumbled over from the pressure. Thankfully, Anthony had a good reflex and caught her with ease. He pulled her to the side, successfully avoiding Harvey who fell forward. Nevertheless, Anthony was also pissed with his friends.

"Bruh, what the hell?!"

But instead of apologizing to his friends, Orlando just shushed them before shutting the door. Getting up from the floor, Harvey was about to smack his friend when he noticed the medical staff outside.

"Oh..." the man instantly made a U-turn. "Never mind."

Orlando smiled at the doctor and immediately calmed him down, "Good day, Doctor. We apologize for the noise. The fault is completely on us. You see, our friend is just so happy to meet Ms. Synders."

However, the doctor remained unconvinced. His expression darkened further. "Unfortunately this is a hospital and visitors should mind their behavior. Visiting hours doesn’t mean one can act arbitrarily regardless of the excuses, especially since Ms. Synders’ condition required some peace. The same case of other patients on this floor."

Despite the doctor’s scolding, Orlando remained on his spot with an unchanging smile plastered on his face. Though deep down, the man was already pissed. It wasn’t him who screamed yet he became the scapegoat.

Who’s that girl again? Valen? Valerie? He wondered internally. Nobody knew what he would do next. For now, he could only nod his head and admit fault to prevent further conflict.

"Yes, we understand, Sir. We apologize again. Girls can be girls..." he said before laughing while scratching the back of his head.

Although the doctor was still feeling disgruntled, in the end he took a step back since he didn’t hear any noise of complaint from inside the room. Hence, these people had to be relatives or acquaintances. This would also mean that the man in front of him could be someone important as well. It was quite apparent from his attire and the way Orlando carried himself. His composure and nonchalant attitude breathed elegance to his appearance.

The doctor didn’t want anything to do with such person but he had to make sure that everything was alright. Hence, he couldn’t help but eye the small window on the door. Orlando raised an eyebrow.

"Are you suspicious of us? I can show you that Mr. James Synders is also inside. We’re his friends. My name is Orlando," he continued while extending his hand.

But the doctor and nurse who heard his name immediately buckled down. There was only one person called Orlando in James Synders’ peers. His small circle of friends was quite well-known since each of them held a significant role in the country’s economy.

"Oh, it’s Mr. Orlando. I’m sorry for suspecting you," said the doctor in his awkwardness. Thereafter he didn’t wait long to apologize and left the scene in a hurry. Good for him that nothing actually happened.

Orlando chuckled at the doctor’s reaction before heading inside, and he was immediately served with a confrontation scene.

"W-What are you doing?!" Oliver was the first one he heard. Without hesitation, Orlando saw his friend grab James by the collar, his fiery anger evident as if he were a father catching his daughter in an indecent act with her lover.

Meanwhile, Valeria, who had initially been shocked, now turned her face away, trying to suppress laughter that threatened to burst out.

When Kyra quickly pulled her hand back, Valeria noticed the movement. She clearly saw where her friend’s hand had been moments earlier. Adding to the already hilarious scene was Kyra’s flushed face as she hid behind a pillow in embarrassment.

After calming herself down, Valeria lifted her head again to take in the situation before her. She saw James, who had gotten down off Kyra, was now tidying up his clothes. The funniest part was how his expression remained completely unchanged.

He appeared as indifferent as ever, as if he hadn’t just been caught in an intimate moment with a woman ten years his junior—a woman he had repeatedly emphasized was just his niece. In the end, he really had to swallow his own words.

"Are you out of your damn mind, James?!" Oliver continued his chastise.

Anthony wanted to mediate but he didn’t even know where to begin. In fact, instead of feeling angry or disgusted, he felt more like laughing and a secondhand embarrassment for James.

But, this was definitely not the right time to crack jokes and explode in laughter. Regardless, he was having a hard time controlling it. The corner of his lips twitching and it was even worse when he saw Valeria was in the same situation as him.

In the end, Anthony could only tap Oliver’s shoulder and coaxed, "Alright, man. Let him go first. Surely, there’s some sort of explanation. Maybe we have the wrong...assumption..."

His voice trailed off at the end. Yeah right...he thought as he stole a quick glance at the now-noticeable absence of the bulge in James’ pants.

Even Harvey felt like smacking Anthony’s head. He could try to defuse the situation without having to imply such things, couldn’t he?

However, James didn’t seem perturbed as he slapped Oliver’s hands away. Instead, he asked right back, "What are you guys doing here?"

"Of course, we’re here to visit our beloved sister." Orlando finally chimed in as he walked up to them. "But, clearly we’re disturbing something," he teased, raising his eyebrows at his best friend.

"You shouldn’t be doing that in such a place!" Oliver exclaimed once again indignantly.

But, again, James showed no concern. He arrogantly raised an eyebrow and shot back, "And you should really learn how to knock. The other day, you entered my office as if it was your own backyard as well and now you disturbed me again. You really have impeccable timing or are you, in fact, stalking?"

Both Anthony and Valeria spontaneously stifled their laughter as they covered their mouths. Orlando eyed them in warning, especially the girl.

"Are you seriously cracking a joke right now? What the hell are you doing to an injured girl and are you even doing it with consent?!" Oliver still insisted on an explanation.

In fact, he was being reasonable since all they knew was James had pushed Kyra away which equated to his rejection. But now they witnessed him getting it on with the girl. So, it made sense if they thought he was forcing Kyra.

All of them looked at James curiously. However, the tense atmosphere was soon broken by Kyra’s scolding.

"And why are you guys talking as if I’m not here??"

Valeria chuckled and didn’t even hesitate to say, "Well, it’s because you’re busy hiding behind your pillow. So I thought you’re dead from shame."

Kyra, "..."

Oliver, "..."

Harvey, "..."

Anthony, "..."

’She’s even more ruthless than us,’ thought Orlando.

Indeed, Kyra’s face turned crimson once again. A pillow might not be enough. If there was a hole, it might be better for her to jump in now before her own best friend shamed her further.

James, who saw the whole thing, almost broke out of his character and laughed. But he managed to maintain his indifference. He then proceeded to clarify the situation.

"I’m not doing it without consent."

"Huh?" Oliver was utterly baffled as he glanced at Kyra.

Kyra was also shocked speechless. She was about to retort to save her image when James intercepted her.

"What’s wrong with kissing my own girlfriend?"

As soon as the man ended his sentence, everyone became paralyzed, even the recipient of the confession herself.
