The Game Of Death

A New Task To Darren

As agreed, Darren came to see Ernest with Kenneth. For a long time Ernest was in a coma, they were eager to see Ernest. Lewis, however, did not reveal his whereabouts at all. It felt strange for Ernest to hear that.

Kenneth and Darren went into the room where Ernest was treated. Incidentally, there was Hellen who was accompanying Ernest while talking together.

"I didn't even know if the cat was urinating there. When I stepped on it, hey, why does it smell so bad? Really, it was an unforgettable experience for me!" Hellen told Ernest in a spirit that even made Ernest laugh the most.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ernest?" Darren called to make Ernest and Hellen immediately turn his eyes to them.

"Oh, you guys come? Come here! I didn't hear your voices coming at all. Have you been staying there for a long time?" asked Ernest kindly, while Darren and Kenneth walked closer to him.

"Just now, sir. We thought we were bothering you for our arrival," Kenneth said kindly.

"Just relax. Do you want to talk? If so, I'll go out first then," said Hellen, saying goodbye in response to Ernest's nod.

"Who is she, sir? Is your future wife?" Darren asked when Hellen had left the room.

"Hahaha, I never thought you were so curious about my life, Darren! But, yes, she is my future wife. Wish me luck as soon as I can marry her," Ernest replied with a small laugh because of Darren's question just now.

"I didn't think you can make a girl to date and propose to her, sir! I thought you were a cold man to a woman," Kenneth said, making Ernest blush.

"Haha, forget about girls! Where have you been? Why just visited me? Aren't you worried about me at all, huh?" asked Ernest a little upset.

"We're really sorry, sir. We didn't even know you were sick. We knew everything from Ronald, we didn't even know from who he was know. He said that if you were sick and taken to the hospital. At that time, we asked Mr. Lewis. However, he said don't mind his family and just focus on working. We accordingly, even in mind. We were worried about you. Therefore, we decided to come without his permission. Please forgive us if we are presumptuous, sir!" Darren said feeling guilty.

"You're all innocent. Why you should apologize to me? Hey, maybe my father wants you not to think too much about me because it's all right now. Forgive him if he says that to you," said Ernest to his father to apologize for what he did.

"We understand, sir. But, how did all this start? What disease happened to you until you had to be treated? I'm sure this is not a pleasant place for you," said Kenneth, who had only been listening.

"Ah... about that, yes... This, it's just a minor accident. I fell down the stairs and caused a minor concussion wound. But, it doesn't matter. As time will heal, the day after tomorrow I will definitely return to the restaurant again. So, don't worry too much!" said Ernest lying.

They nodded as they smiled at Ernest with worry. Ernest rarely gets sick, let alone gets sloppy like this. He's a very thorough and tidy man, that's how they've known him all along. So, it was weird when they heard Ernest suddenly being hospitalized and had a minor concussion. That means, there's something Ernest was hiding. However, they try not to figure out the cause.

" Uhm, actually, I called you here because you had a job to do immediately, " Ernest asked Darren and Kenneth. They even looked at Ernest with a puzzled look.

"What should we do, sir?" Darren asked curiously.

"Find the fucking vlogger! He'll ruin everything. Kill him and give me the evidence," Ernest asked, which surprised Darren and Kenneth.

"Are you serious, sir?! We killed him?! " Kenneth asked in a very surprised tone.

"Ssstt... lower your tone, Ken! Don't let his girlfriend know about this!" warned Darren with his relaxation.

"Why are you so relaxed when you know we have to kill Darren? Are you crazy because of that day? Why should we kill him? Isn't it enough just to report him to the police for defamation?" Kenneth asked in a whispering tone.

"Huft.. why are you so stupid, Ken? Do you want to turn yourself in when you know we sell food that's out of the law? Hm? You want us to end up in that cold cell, huh? That's what you want? If that's what you want, go turn yourself in. Me and Darren don't want, so I decide that we don't make a point." Ernest replied casually.

"But, it's crazy work, sir! We're just cooks. Why should we kill humans too? Isn't beef and chicken not too expensive?" asked Kenneth emotionally.

"Just do your job, if you still want to work with me! Understand?" forced Ernest.

Immediately, Kenneth fell silent. He looked at Darren's seemingly relaxed face with what Ernest had just told him.

"If you don't want to do it, I'll do it, Ken. Just shut your mouth tight about this, okay?" Darren said looking at Kenneth who didn't know what situation he was in. Those two in front of him are really not people he's known all along. They're different.

"Well then, we'll say goodbye, yes, sir! Let me do this job. You just rest so you can recover soon, when you've been found. I'll report it to you immediately," Darren said to Kenneth to leave.

"Yes, be careful on the road, yes! Night conditions are bad if you're on your way. Make sure to come home safely, yes! Kenneth, don't be too burdened with your mind. Sorry if I was too rude and surprised you," said Ernest looking softly at Kenneth.

"O-Okay, sir! Then, come on Darren! We have to go home soon, tomorrow we have to leave early, don't we?" said Kenneth nervously in response to Darren's nod.

After that, Darren and Kenneth said goodbye. Ernest then breathed a harsh sigh. He massages his head suddenly dizzy because of the new assignment Jeremy gave him. Really, it's a crazy assignment!

"You're not the only one who's surprised, Ken. Even I didn't expect what I just said. But, if it's not like that, I'll lose everything. I don't want everything back to the way it was," Ernest said to himself.

While Ernest was feeling dizzy and massaging his own head, Hellen went into the room and was surprised to see Ernest stooping down in pain.

"Ernest? Are you okay? Is your head reacting back? I'll call the doctor, okay?" said Hellen, who came with a face so frantic. However, Ernest interrupted Hellen not to panic and did not call a doctor for him.

"Don't call a doctor, Hellen! I'm fine. It just takes a break. You don't have to worry, okay?" Ernest said trying to calm Hellen down.

"Are you sure you're okay? Can I get you some warm water?" said Hellen in response to Ernest's nod.

While Hellen was carrying warm water, Ernest continued to massage his head that felt very painful. Maybe it's because his brain is working so hard it's not what it used to be. Granted, he shouldn't be too stressed about his job. He should be able to enjoy it.

Soon after, Hellen returned and gave Ernest warm water. Ernest immediately gulped down the warm water. Slow down, his head feels better. He rested his head again assisted by Hellen.

"Get some rest, honey. What were you thinking until you were like this, hm?" asked Hellen, who made Ernest smile at the call of Hellen.

"Ah...I was thinking about my job. Since I was sick, the restaurant has not improved. Maybe Dad doesn't know how to manage business properly. He said he rarely visits restaurants. There were reports from my employees and I was worried about him. Yes, I don't seem to be too stressed," Ernest told Hellen.

"Hey, don't be stressed about it yet. You have to focus on your recovery. Then you can think about it. Now, now take a break, yes! It's late, I'll also spend the night here with you. So, don't worry again, okay?" said Hellen while rubbing the top of Ernest's head.

"Okay, I'll rest. You too, yeah! Don't get too tired, okay? Good night, honey!" Ernest whispered, making Hellen blush.

Slowly, Ernest closed his eyes to rest. His head feels really heavy. He entered into his dream world. Hellen looked at him with such a shady look. Ernest's peaceful face made him feel very at ease.

"I feel so happy to be yours, Ernest. Thank you for coming in my life!" said Hellen talking to himself.

After making sure Ernest was asleep, she went to the sofa and prepared a floor mattress. Then she lay down and fell asleep there. Together into a dream world that's much more fun than the real world.
