Chapter 22
CALISTA RAYMONDS
Morning again , and I have to wake up with no plan for the day other than just sit and do anything.
I woke up with a banging on my head and I feel terribly sick.
I tried sitting up from the bed but I noticed I couldn’t even move my body. Touching my neck with my hand, I realized that my body was heating up.
There’s no possible way I can get help if I don’t get out of the bed. But I couldn’t even move myself..
Sighing, I led back on the bed and wince in pain as my head keep banging me.
I don’t remember feeling sick last night after my night out with Rowan, so I don’t actually understand what’s wrong.
I reached for the android I saw on the side table. I haven’t notice that there’s a phone there or maybe, there wasn’t a phone there before.
It’s 12:06PM!
I almost exclaimed but I couldn’t move my lips. I have been on my bed since morning and it’s afternoon already.
And that was when I realize how sick I was.
___
“She needs lot of rest and she need to start spending some time outdoor, I don’t know how she have been doing but she’s suffering from Asthenia and she really need lot of exercises”
The voice made me open my eyes and I realize I was still in my room and it was a doctor, talking to Chase.
Chase was tucking his hands inside his pocket while the doctor talks to him, but our eyes meet the moment I opened my eyes.
“She’s awake” I heard him tell the doctor.
I tried sitting up but noticed there’s a wet towel placed on my forehead.
“That’ll make the hotness of your body decrease. How do you feel now?” The doctor asked me.
I looked at Chase who was always looking at me before I replied.
“I’m fine, just tired” I sighed.
“Get some rest after, I’ve talk to your Boss and I already prescribed medications for you. You only need to take your drugs and try going outdoor or something, yunno… Exploring” The doctor said and I just nodded.
I know that there’s no way it’ll be possible for me to go outdoor. I wonder if Rowan already talk to him.
“Thank you doctor. You may now leave” Chase said to the doctor who bowed and left my room leaving Chase and I , in the room.
“Take some rest, the maids will bring in your dinner” Chase said and turn to leave.
“Dinner? What’s the time?” I questioned making him stop on his track.
I was thinking he’ll ignore me but he muttered, “It’s 6PM. You’ve been sleeping a long time and the maids had noticed your body heating up”
I nodded as I couldn’t remember a maid walking into my room, I didn’t even remember myself dozing off.
Chase turned to leave the room and I stopped him once again. I heard him sigh before he turned to look at me.
“I’m sorry for what I said to you, I didn’t mean to make you feel bad or something. It’s just that…” Chase cut me short.
“Save it. You don’t have to explain to me. Maybe I overreacted too” He said.
For a second, I was taken aback at how calm Chase was talking to me and I couldn’t help but wonder if everything was alright.
“Uhm…” I laugh a little. “You good?” I raised my brows and stare at him.
“Yea” he nodded and tried to smile but immediately stopped himself.
I watched him walk out of my room and shut the door behind. And I couldn’t help but wonder how weird he just was.
Was there anything going on I didn’t know? Chase isn’t nice to me, but he was, some couple of seconds ago.
I decided to wave the thought and so, I forced myself to sit up from the bed. I needed a shower as I haven’t taken my bath since morning.
Wearing my flip flop, the door opened and a maid entered. Each day, I kept meeting different maid and I couldn’t help but wonder how many maids are at Chase’s service.
She walked in with a tray on food and bow a little to me before dropping the food on the table.
“Your dinner is ready ma’am, how’s your health now?” The maid asked smiling at me.
She’s nice.
“I’m fine, Yunno! Just a little bit tired but I’ll just go and take my bath and come eat up. I’ll be fine”
She smiles and nodded then walk out of the room. I removed my clothes and walk into the bathroom to take a bath.
I finished taking my bath and went ahead to eat. Turns out it’s Fried turkey and beans corn and I had really missed the food. It reminds me of Sophia and Isabella.
But guess we weren’t meant to stay together for too long.
After eating, the maid walk back inside and took the plate.
Feeling bored after getting a little energy, I decided to go down and maybe watch some movies.
_____
Chase walk back to the dungeon but had to stop outside the cell when he noticed his phone was ringing.
He looked at the screen, it was Tyrell.
Chase received the call and place it on his ear before muttering what?.
“Hey Boss! The soldiers that went in search of the man as you ordered but we couldn’t find anyone that looks like him or whatever”
“You know how much I hate to hear that. Find him no matter what it makes, have him tracked!” Chase said almost yelling.
“Sure” Tyrell tells him and disconnected the call.
“You good, boss?” One of his soldiers asked noticing the look on his face.
He nodded and asked him to lock the cell once more and without entering he started walking out of the dungeon.
He hadn’t think much about if it’s actually his uncle that killed Madison, but he’ll make him pay for ever attempting to mess with him no matter how much it takes him but then I’d be ridiculous to think it’s his uncle who did it.
For what reason? He’s just probably overthinking.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Lost in thought, Chase stop on his track when he saw Calista sitting down on the couch and watching a Netflix movie.
Apparently before he could stop himself, the words of Rowan to him about liking her suddenly makes his heart burn.
He can’t like her! No one can.
Not like he have any sort of feeling for her but she belongs to him and not to anyone else. Not even his brother have the right to be with her.
