CHAPTER 26
That night Ronald and I decided that we’ll see each other tomorrow so that we can start finding that mysterious nurse. It was already late when I get home and immediately fall asleep when I lay down on my bed. The next morning, I woke up with noises outside my room. My brows furrowed and noticed that it was Fin, Rael and Gray. It was their voices.
I fixed myself first before coming out of my room to check what’s happening out there and when I opened the door, they immediately stopped arguing with something.
“Cristine!” I can hear Rael’s awkward call, but he’s still trying to laugh even though it’s awkward while Fin and Gray are completely fell silent.
“What’s going on?” I asked confused. They all looked away. My forehead wrinkled.
“Nothing—”
“If it is nothing you won’t hesitate to look straight into my eyes,” I crossed my
CHAPTER 27We are just staring at each other while I am still in owe. I looked straight into his eyes and tried again if I’ll hear his inner voice once again, but it didn’t. Ronald was just staring at me, staring with his emotionless eyes. That’s when I realized that behind me are Fin, Gray and Rael and with him is Janice.I swallowed hard as little by little; nervousness is crawling up on me. I don’t know why but…I just wanna walk out here and drag him with me so that we can talk. But what for, Cristine? You said that you do not care of his feelings, you do not care whatever he thinks of you. But why am I worried now? But why am I nervous now?“You’re Lexis’ friend, right?” I feel like my soul come back to life when I heard Rael asked Ronald. I looked away from Ronald because it’s obvious that he’s staring at me.“Why?” I had goosebumps when I heard his cold voic
CHAPTER 28I woke up feeling cold. I am shivering to the core while my head feels so heavy. I slowly opened my eyes, and an unfamiliar room filled my eyes. My heart started to raise and feel my body to check if I am still okay but beside from my headache, I am still fine.I slowly get up from the bed and quickly stood up only to get stumbled on the floor!“Shit!” I hissed and frowned. But still I tried to get up. I don’t know where I am. I don’t know who brought me here. This is the first time this happened to me goddamn it!I was now in front of the door to hold the doorknob when someone opened it from outside that made the hard wood hit on me! “Aw!” I shouted in pain and fell on the floor! What the hell?!“Cristine?!” I thought I was hallucinating but Ronald’s voice is so clear to me. I blinked twice when Ronald knelt in front of me and checked my face.“W-What are y
CHAPTER 29I don’t know if I am still sane or what, but I really couldn’t understand myself. I watched him clean the table after I take a drink of the water after the medicine. Silence is the only thing I can hear between us. After what happened earlier no words escapes our mouth. I don’t know what to say. I don’t know what to do.I wanted to leave earlier but now why does my body wants to stay?“I’ll just wash this in the sink,” he said seriously and left the room. I wanna say something before he left but my lips aren’t responding with what I want.I lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling. He clearly told me that he was frustrated of seeing me with Fin, Gray and Rael but why? I want a clear explanation. I want to know what does he feel about me? What does he think about me? Why was he frustrated? Was he jealous just like how I was when I saw him with Lexis or Janice?These questi
CHAPTER 30I woke up in the morning feeling fine. I don’t have any headaches anymore. I heard the birds chirping from outside the window and saw how the sunlight hits the glass window of Ronald’s room. I sighed heavily as soon as I heard the doorknob clinging.I saw Ronald entered the room with his already damp hair. He looks perfect in the morning. He looks different from what I used to see him. He’s not wearing his eyeglasses now that makes him really looks a bit new.“Did you sleep well?” he asked and walked towards me. I panicked a bit when he reached my forehead to check my temperature.“I-I’m fine…” I said and held his wrist to put down his hand on my forehead. I saw him smirked.“Of course, you’re fine, you’re frowning now,” he said and shook his head. I rolled my eyes. If you just know that I am now broken hearted because of you, you won’t smi
CHAPTER 31“Is this all you get?” I asked Ronald after checking the information he got from his father’s clinic. I read the whole information, but it only contains his name, address, age, and some simple information about her. Her name is Felicia Guevarra, 54 years old and currently living here in San Isidro province.“That’s all I can get. That is her resume that she submitted when she was still applying with dad,” Ronald said.“So…we are not sure if her address here is still up to date,” I said while staring at her information. I looked at her familiar picture attached on the paper. She looks younger here than the last time I saw her.“We should visit her address,” I said and stood up. We’re still here in the Madrigal’s house after we finished breakfast. Of course, I asked him the information he got before we proceed on finding her. Ronald nodded and took someth
CHAPTER 32The car stopped in front of a small old house. It was a rotten old house, actually.“Are you sure, is this it?” I asked while staring at the house. One blew of the wind here it will surely be going to get wash out.“I’m sure it is, Cristine.” Ronald said. We both went out of the car while our eyes are on the house. We quietly walked near the house and checked the whole surrounding.“I think there’s no one here, Ronald.” I said based on the whole ambiance. Ronald didn’t talk and just knock on the door.“Is there anybody here?” Ronald called out. I looked around. I have a bad feeling about this. Based on the whole surrounding something happened here. The rock on the ground has cracks and not on their rightful places, like there’s a trouble happened here. And also, the house…I feel like it was abandoned for days.“Mrs. Felicia Guevarra?
CHAPTER 33Without thinking twice, I run towards them and pushed Carlos away from Ronald. I felt Fin, Gray and Rael followed me and went to Carlos back, in case he’ll do something bad. I felt Ronald’s got shock by my sudden arrival.“What are you doing, Carlos?” I grittily asked. But he just smirked that made me annoyed. I don’t know why he suddenly talk with Ronald, and I really don’t have a good feeling about this. Carlos is with Herman, and everything they do is all evil. So, seeing him with Ronald made me feel shit.“I was just talking to him. I was very nice to him, Cristine.” He said with an obvious evil grin plastered on his lips. I baled my fist and glared at him. He raised a brow like he’s not afraid of what possible things I can do to him.“Leave him alone before I kicked your ass out of here, Carlos.” I said warningly. He laughed like an evil. Damn it! Just hearing
CHAPTER 34Ronald is sporting a frowning face as he drives back to Mrs. Felicia’s abandoned house. I told him to drive back to her house because these three men with us we’ll help us. I have a feeling that he doesn’t like the idea of it. He doesn’t like these three men sitting in the back seat.But aside from having a frown face he didn’t say anything and just quietly drove the car. But then…I am bothered. He’s been quiet since we talked, and I am worried. What is he thinking? Is he mad? Why? I don’t know. I heaved a deep sigh and just looked at the window to watch the establishments we’re passing by.“Cristine…” I heard Fin called me from the back. It’s funny how these three fit-in the back seat. They are so huge that I can’t imagine how they fit-in themselves inside.I looked at Fin who was also staring at me. I stared at the bottled water he’s offe
