LOVE & REVENGE - CHAPTER 34
Alex drove roughly into the hospital and carried Fiona by himself and ran into the hospital as if being chased by wild animals.
The doctors started attending to her immediately while he paced around infront of the emergency room.
Few minutes later Donald ran into the hospital with Hailey.
“What is the situation” he asked
“I don’t know. They aren’t saying anything” Alex said leaning on the wall.
“Calm down. Everything will be alright” Donald said trying to calm him down.
“What if something happens to her. I can’t afford to loose her again” Alex said
“Nothing will happen to her. Be strong for her” Donald said and Alex sighed.
The doctor cane out of the ward and Alex rushed to him.
“Doctor, how is he doing?”
“Who are you to her?”
“He’s her husband” Donald said before Alex could think of anything to say.
“Come with me” the doctor said heading to his office and Alex followed him.
“You can take a seat” the doctor told Alex when they arrived at his office.
“Mr Smith, your wife and baby are both fine. It looks like you have been distant from your wife since she got pregnant. May I know why?” the doctor asked and Alex looked at him biting his lips.
“I know you understand what I mean, right?”
“Yes”
“So please do something about it so that delivery will be easier for her. You can meet the cashier for payments” the doctor said and Alex stood up.
“Thank you doctor. I will be on my way” Alex said and walked out of the hospital.
How was he going to initiate an intimate relationship with Fiona? This seems like an Impossible task.
He was so lost in thoughts that he didn’t know when Donald appeared in front of him and he bumped into him.
“What were you thinking? Lets go and see your baby mama first” Donald said and started walking towards Fiona’s ward.
They arrived there and met her sleeping and Hailey was sitting beside her.
Alex looked at her and remembered what the doctor said. It sent chills down his spine and Donald noticed his mood and tapped him.
“How do you think I should approach her when she wakes up?” Alex asked out of the blues and both Donald and Hailey looked at him.
“Approach her, how?” Donald asked and Alex bite his lips not knowing how to tell them what the doctor said.
After explaining what the doctor said to them Donald burst into a loud fit of laughter and Hailey pressed her lips together to prevent her from laughing.
Alex looked so funny right now. So this is what has been making him act somehow.
“I’m heading home” he said and walked out.
He was too embarrassed right now to stay with his friends. Not after seeing their reaction when he told them his plight.
.
Moments later…
Fiona opened her eyes when she felt that everyone left already and smiled to her self.
She wasn’t sleeping earlier so yes, she heard their conversations. All of it.
Now she can’t wait to get what she has been craving for.
Alex’s magical touch!

A HOTEL
“Mum I don’t like going to school from this place. It feels somehow. What if one of the students saw me? What would they think of me?” Alisha whined and Magreth smiled.
“Don’t worry my child, we will move out this week. Our house will be ready latest tomorrow or next” Magreth said
“That’s better. I can’t wait to leave this place” Alisha said.
“How are you coping in school? Any friends yet?” Magreth asked
“Friends… none. I don’t think I want to make friends yet. It might complicate things for me” Alisha said
“Complicate things, how?
“Like them finding out the truth about me. Someone is already suspecting me” Alisha mumbled the last part.
“But its your first time in L.A. You’ve been in Bangkok for a very long time. No one is going to get curious about you since no one knows you here” Magreth said and Alisha exhaled
“Well, unfortunately, I met someone who knows me but I was able to confuse him with my new name. Do you think I can keep it up for long?” Alisha asked
“with the way you are sounding, is this someone really close to you in the past?”
“Yes. He knows what I know too and I don’t want anything to happen to him. That’s why I want him to stay away from me for the time being. I’ve lost my parents because of it and I can’t afford to loose him too. Its already hard for me to ignore him as if I don’t know him” Alisha said
“Its going to be fine” Magreth said touching her back.
▫FLASHBACK▫
Elena and her mom walked into a mall to get some stuff for themselves when they bumped into someone. Elena looked up and shivered when she saw the person’s face.
“Sorry” her mom said to the person and took her away.
“Why were you shivering? What’s the matter sweetie?” Elena’s mom asked.
“Its her” Elena said
“Who?”
“She was the one who called the bad guy that took that lady’s child away” Elena said and her mom covered her mouth while looking around.
“Is anyone else aware of this?” she asked and Elena nodded
“Don’t tell anyone else please. Pretend like you don’t know anything”
They finished their shopping and took a cab home. Unknown to them, a car followed them behind and zoomed off when they entered their house.
▫THE NEXT DAY▫
“You remember my friend I told you was coming over to visit” Elena’s mom asked
“The one from Bangkok?” Elena asked and her mom nodded.
“She will be here in a few minutes. So be on your best behavior. I know you are a good girl so don’t disappoint me”
“I won’t mom. I hope she got me a lot of chocolates” Elena said happily and her mom chuckled.
“You eat too many sweet things Elena. Let me check who’s at the door” her mom said heading to the door when she heard the door bell.
“Look at you Nancy, you are glowing” Magreth said hugging her friend as she entered the house fully.
“You are not left out too. How is business going, CEO Magret?” Nancy teased and they both laughed before Magret turned to Elem who was staring at the two women in silence waiting to be noticed.
“How are you cute Elena” Magreth asked
“I’m fine thank you ma’am. Did you get me chocolate?” Elena asked innocently
“My bad, I forgot. Let’s go get it down the street” Mag ret said taking Elena by the hand.
“Magret you are spoiling this girl” Nancy said and Elena giggled.
Don’t worry, we’ll get back soon” Magreth said dragging Elena out.
Few minutes after they left, two men barged into the house with a woman.
“Where is your daughter?” the woman asked
“Why are you looking for my daughter? Did she do something wrong ?” Nancy asked already shaking with fear.
“I overheard what she told you at the mall so I came to shut her up. Very simple” the woman said with a smirk
“Please don’t hurt my daughter. She is all I got” Nancy pleaded.
“Go in there and bring her” the woman instructed the boys and they went into the house.
They came out few moments later and told her that she is not in the house.
“End her miserable life. Look for that stupid daughter of hers and end her too” the woman said and walked out of the house.
Elena was about coming in with Magret when they saw a car at the fromlnt of their house.
They wondered who owns it until they heard a sound from the house. Elena wanted to rush into the house but Magret held her back.
“Don’t go in there now. Let’s see what’s happening” Magret said dragging Elena to a corner.
From there they peeped and saw a woman coming out of the house followed by two men.
They ran into the house and met Nancy’s lifeless body on the floor in the pool of her own blood.
“Mom, wake up please!!! Elena cried shaking her mom.
“Elena lets leave this place. Its not safe here” Magret said and picked up Nancy’s phone. She dialed the cops and left with Elena.
She took her to a hotel where she lodged and the following day, she went back to Bangkok with Elena.
▫FLASHBACK ENDS▫
“How come he is here?” Magret asked
“I do not know. I don’t want him to get involved with this” Elena said
“Don’t worry, its going to be fine. I’m here for you” Magret said and Elena hugged her.
