Some say doctors are life givers and savers, while others say doctors are death bringers. Many people had different biased views about hospitals and doctors. Some good, while most bad.
Some called it their safe haven, while others called it a death house. But the doctors themselves say they care and will try their best, but it's only God that heals.
On a daily basis, different people around the world are admitted into different hospitals. For either minor or severe cases. But the plain truth was no one could avoid the hospital, no matter how much they tried.
...
"Arghh.." A soft groan escaped an admitted patient, laying on the hospital bed. Bandage wrapped around his body, like an egyptian mummy.
"My chest hurts." Kyle touched his chest, where he had been stabbed.
It was bandaged, maybe a little too much attempting to sit up straight. With the support of his hands, but the heavy pain of his wounded chest fell upon him.
Causinglight grunts, persevering through the pain.
"Wh-where am I?" His vision was still dazy when he sat up. But he was regaining his sight slowly.
'I'm in the hospital.' He could tell he was in a hospital room, when he saw some catheter guide wires stuck in his arm. Along witha breathing mask placed on his mouth, linked to the oxygen pipe.
Some syringes and empty pill bottles were lying on the desk beside him.
"She must've brought me here." Kyle remembered his fight with the two killers, mainly the man with bald head.
In what he thought were his last moments, where he was viciously stabbed. On the right side of his chest, by the bald killer. While he also delivered a knockout uppercut punch.
"I was lucky it wasn't near my heart region." He weakly sighed, feeling some life return to his toes.
If he was struck in his heart area, then it would be game over for him. Even though he was physically better than some boys his age, he was still human.
He lost a lot of blood that night, his body automatically going numb. Life slowly fading away from him.
Before he passed out from the blood loss, he remembered Yua caught him as he fell on her. Before everything went dark for him.
He also remembered Lilith's last warning. "Kyle, be careful." She pleaded. But he didn't listen, and could only blame himself.
'Could she gave predicted this outcome?' He thought.
As the second strongest demon, it was certain his demon wife possessed an arsenal of deadly skills. Acquired through lifetimes of sheer bloodshed and hard work.
So it wasn't a shocker, if she possessed some time related skill. That permitted her too see some moments into the future.
"Phough! I wonder where she is?"
As he woke up, he thought the next person beside him would be his demon wife. But apparently she was not there.
"Somehow I survived~" Looking at his vitals in the monitor, a voice he could never forget pulled him out of his gaze.
"Master!"
"Lilith?"
"M-master, you idiot?" His demon wife, Lilith, appeared beside him. Dressed in a see through loose black robe, earning the approval of his little brother.
Poking the hospital dress he wore, in anticipation to greet her. Hugging him tightly, tears flowed down her eyes.
'I could get used to this.' A light smile formed to his face, gently using his hand to brush her hair.
Kyle could feel the emotion being released, that of grief and fear of losing him.
"Ah! Lilith… You're squeezing your master to death." Kyle joked.
"How could you be so cruel? I could've lost you!" Lilith yelled, giving him an angry face while gently nudging on his shoulder.
"Ouch! You know… For a possessive wife, you sure are overpossessive," Kyle chuckled, rubbing his shoulder. Even though Lilith didn't use any strength at all, he still felt pain from it.
"Hmp... hmphfu... I hate you." Lilith chuckled, with a bright smile.
"I love you more." Kyle drew her close, placing her head on his chest. Embracing her deeply in his warmth, while also brushing her soft, delicate hair gently.
When the knife pierced his chest, there were so many thoughts that crossed his mind. Like how he'd never see the woman he loved, his aunt, or his parents again forever.
It was such a terrifying thing to die, without achieving one's goals that he had set in life.
He wasn't yet a demon, and there were many things he planned to do. Like conquering many women, becoming stronger, and beating Lucifer.
A stinging thought that hurt more than others, was what would happen to Lilith and those he loved if he were to die. He couldn't bear the pain of seeing her cry even in death.
"P-promise me you'll never die..." Lilith sniffed, with a soft tone laying on his chest.
"I promise you... I'll never die." He vowed. They both stayed together, under the company of each other's embrace. Until a message appeared in Kyle's head.

Kyle looked at the barrage of the system's notifications in awe. He had almost forgotten about the quest from the system, that popped up before he fought the two killers.
"Whoa..."
'Partner's kill?' He remembered only knocking them out. But the system boldly stated the words "partner's kill", and yua couldn't have possibly done it.
So that only meant it was the demon beside him.
"L-Lilith... what does the system mean by partner's kill?" He asked, staring down at her.
"Why do you ask?"
"Well~" He sighed. "The two killers, they're dead. Aren't they?"
"Of course I killed them." Lilith stated indifferently. "Don't tell me you feel sorry for them?" She frowned with an inquisitive look.
Kyle couldn't blame her; they deserved to die more horrible deaths than they did.
But the thought of killing someone was still new to him. He's still a naive teenage boy who loves sex. But it seems his fate had already been sealed.
Unlike Lilith, who was a demon, they pride themselves in killing. He was still human.
Demons showed no fear or emotion when killing, just pure killing intent. Considering the information he had read, previously in some fantasy novels.
He would soon become a demon, and the system requires he kill to level up.
It was weird; the system gave him that quest when he isn't a demon yet. But he never really did understand the system anyways; it was something far bigger than him.
'I'll kill anyone that gets in my way.' Kyle made up his mind.
*******
"W-what could've happened to him!?"
"I shouldn't have left him, this is all my fault!" A busty woman panicked, shaking on the steering wheel, speeding out of control in a red car.
"Shit!" She maneuvered the car, which almost hit a white car in its lane. Prompting the driver to raise his middle finger, yelling some words.
But she didn't care what he said, still driving on.
"Fucking psycho~" She muttered. Drinking from a portion of green bottle, containing alcohol. While swerving the car inside a big building.
"Please be alright Kyle." She clumsily walked out of the car, into the building. Ignoring the receptionist at the desk, heading straight to a girl with black hair sitting alone with a bloody uniform.
"Y-you! What happened?" Kimi demanded, attracting the girl's attention.
The teenage girl looked up. Seeing it was a voice she recognized, her eyes became teary looking at the woman.
"I-I it was—"
Yua could barely utter a word without stuttering. Recalling the events that just happened.
"K-Kyle, wh-where's Kyle?" Kimi asked still panicking, the bottle of red wine still in her hands.
"I—I haven't been able to see him… But I think I overheard them saying, second floor. Third room to the left.'" She pointed, urging the beautiful office worker to head in that direction.
Attempting to follow her, she stopped in her tracks. Crashing to the chair with a thud, placing both her arms on her head.
Considering her personality, she wasn't really a bright sports. But she had not been herself, ever since Kyle was stabbed in his chest; her heart couldn't see a person die.
Kimi immediately dodged a nurse, who tried to calm her down. Hurriedly rushing to the elevator, pressing the up button multiple times.
"Shit! Why isn't it working?" Multiple ding sounds resounded, as Kimi pressed the up button on the elevator.
"Stupid crap!" Finally glancing up, she saw the elevator was already in use.
"Ma'am, wait.." A nurse called out, which Kimi ignored.
Dropping the elevator and began climbing the stairs, followed by about two nurses and Yua.
She had reached the second floor, which wasn't that long. Advancing to the third room on the left. A young woman dressed in the familiar white medical coat, already stood there about to open the door.
"Ma'am, what are you doing here?" The young doctor asked, confused. No one was allowed on the second floor by this time; it wasn't visiting hours.
But she saw Kimi paid no attention to her; Instead, her eyes were focused on the door, like a predator that has long awaited its prey.
"K-Kyle!"
"Wait, stop! You can't—"
"Get out of my way.."
The young doctor was roughly shoved aside while Kimi held the doorknob. Twisting it wide open, she barged into the room.
"Aunt Ki~"
"I mean, Kimi... what are you doing here?" Kyle was awake, sitting up on the bed. But both his left leg and right arm were bandaged, and tied upwards.
"K-kyle!" The wine bottle slipped from her hands. Her overfilled dam burst open; Streams of water began flowing down her cheeks, which ruined her makeup.
Lazily running towards him, she gave him the most heartwarming hug she ever gave. While he just relaxed on the bed, enjoying the softness of his aunt's breasts pressing against his chest.
The other nurses came along with yua, advancing forward they wanted escort Kimi out. But the female doctor signaled them not to, and to leave instead.
"Don't interrupt them yet." She said, smiling towards Kyle and Kimi.
"I am glad you're okay, Kyle." Aunt Kimi smiled. And as he thought that was all, her expression took a 360-degree turn.
"Y-you... are you crazy or something!?" She funed, switching to protective mama bear mode in a flash.
"Why the hell did you try to take on two armed men on your own?"
"You're not a superhero; this is real life, Kyle. W-what would've happened if you-" Kimi couldn't finish her words; the thought of it just made her cry more.
"Hey Kimi, I-It's alright~ I'm okay." Kyle calmed her rising heart, patting his hands on her head softly. Planting kisses to her on the forehead.
"I'm not going anywhere, I promise.." She seemed to have calmed down a bit, as she had stopped crying and was just holding Kyle.
"W-who's she?" The female doctor asked Yua, still looking at Kyle.
"S-she's his aunt; they're really close." Yua replied, with a bright smile. Witnessing Kyle alive helped her a bit. But there was still this heavy burden she felt within her.
"I see~"
The female doctor said nothing more and simply walked to Kyle's location, checking the vitals monitor.
"Ehm! Sorry to break the aunt and nephew relationship, but he needs his medications now." Her voice wasn't stern when she spoke, but it did contain a little coldness in it.
"O-oh, sorry.." Aunt Kimi shifted a bit to the side, refusing to get up from where Kyle is.
"Stubborn." The doctor sighed. Placing the tray on the table, which contained a syringe, some files, and a glass of water.
"You're lucky to be alive, young man; most people who had this case died the instant they were stabbed." She tapped the syringe a little, and carefully inserted the needle in Kyle's arm. The crystal liquid entering into his system.
"W-what do you mean die in that instance. It's not like I was stabbed in the heart or something?" He frowned, holding the cotton up where he had been injected.
"You're naive kid; it seems you don't know how dire your situation was." She retorded, lightly shaking her head.
"Well, let me explain~"
"Erm.. When you were stabbed, the knife cut some veins connected to your heart. Which led to the fast, excess loss of blood. Some patients may die instantly, while some would die the moment they were brought here; Either way, they would still die." She concluded with a grim tone, making Kyle gulp.
The expression on everyone's face went ugly as she said those words.
"But luckily, this young girl Yua brought you here even though it was late. We tried our best to rejoin the veins together, but the thing I find surprising is this-"
"When we placed the veins together, immediately, they started joining back. But your heart wasn't beating properly, because there wasn't any blood in you."
"As soon as the nurses went to bring the blood bags, your veins had regrouped together. And your heart managed to pump some blood to sustain you." The look on her face was of doubt and surprise.
"Never once had that scenario happened for the 5 years I've been a licensed medical practitioner." She exclaimed.
Kyle too was surprised; he knew he was meant to die, but he didn't. He guessed it was the system, but his heart told him otherwise.
'It must be Lilith.' He thought to himself.
"It seems your body is special, but nevertheless, it is still badly injured." She continued, tossing the syringe into a yellow waste bin. Stationed in between a red and black waste bin.
Labelled with a toxic sign at the center of the red and red bin, while the black was left out.
"Your energy is low; that's why you were out for a day, but you'll have to stay here in the hospital for two days until you fully recover." The doctor frankly issued, with a stern voice.
"T-two days!?"
