Chapter 25:
I crawled to my bed, but couldn’t bring my ass to sit. I was feeling severe pains that I can’t sit properly. Draco changed over big overnight he thought my dad framed him. I promise to find the proof to prove dad’s innocent no matter what. I stayed weak on the floor for over an hour lying to recover from the pain. I carefully stood up and got into my bathroom to shower. Immediately I turned on the shower. It pours on my skin. I screamed suddenly, the bruises on my face becomes heated and the beating I got on my ass, that is almost to sore. Started aching to.
I cried silently, trying my very best to bath. I didn’t take much time in the bathroom. I came out and applied some ointments on the bruises on my face. I stood on the dressing table and applied gently on my face. Then I rubbed little of my eyes. I had always avoid starring in my reflection from the mirror lately. But all I would do is start crying all over again.
I swung from the mirror and headed toy closet to get a clothe on. This time I had decided on wearing Jeans and a simple top. Hence, I got a pink top shirt with a flowering designed embroidered around it edge of the shirt. I wore the jean along. Just right on time when I had finished dressing up, my phone rang and it was Raymond. I quickly ran to the bed and picked up the call.
” Hey Daniella I’m already at that airport, I just called to inform you” he placed his palm beneath his phone as he speak, but of the air resistance at the airport and also the noise of the plane taking off.
” That’s good, I hope it goes well. Let me know when you arrived” I spoke in a slow tone , right in the bathroom. I had given the description of the old man’s place earlier to Raymond. It would be able to find him easily and return his ring so he could bring my Jane back. I hung up the call and tried my possible be to compose myself , as I stormed out of my room.
I walked gently and slowly to Jane’s room . it has become a usual duty for me to visit Jane every money and take care of her while Amal do the cleaning of her room. And that is by cleaning her up and feeding her and maybe talk to her even when I know she can’t respond but I feel she can hear me.
” Good morning Jane, how was your night ? Good right ? Mime was a nightmare” I said, sitting on the edge of her bed. ” oh let me get you cleaned up first, before I tell you some secret” I raised my brow and my mouth opened into an O shape.
I got up and went down to the kitchen to get the bowl of water and the white towel and some food. I placed the water on the table next to me in her room, then I dip the white towel into it and squeeze it a bit. I began to rub from her head to her neck , insidiously I got to palm and I rub it slowly with the damp towel. ”Jane you know what? Draco changed all of a sudden, he chose to believe what Danovo said than listening to me” I had left the towel on her palm while I got lost in my by thoughts. I suck in the tears fighting to come out.
”I will be fine, I just need you to be well before I take action on what is going on here. That is why you have to wake up soon” I lock my hands in hers and kissed it.
” Jane you have to wake up soon, I need you more than ever now” I lay my head on our both hands locked together. I continued the cleaning after I felt I have lifted the heavy load off my chest just by telling Jane how I feel.
I ended the cleaning after I was done, then I brought up the plate of the food I got her. It was a light food, more like a baby food. I gradually spoon feed her as she managed to eat. She ate all, that I was so amaze. I grabbed a her cheek and kisses her forehead.
”Hahahahaha that is already going through hell from Draco’s resentment towards her” she laughed out loud, having a mockery look on her face.
” I love that, that is what I want. To see this too in chaos” he grins, with his cruel voice echoing in the room.
” You needed to see her face, oh my God” she gasped.
” Bruise all over her pretty face. I feel sorry for her” she formed a pitiful expression on her face.
” She deserves it baby, after all like father like daughter ” he grins sipping more of the wine.
” Umm.. Exactly baby” she supported.
Raymond got his ticket and got it stamped in no time as well. He enters to his seat and buckle the seat belt as instructed by the flight attendant. He buckles and relax as the flight took off.
It didn’t take more than two hours he arrived at US then he alighted. He boarded a cab and showed the description to the driver. He took to the exact destination. Raymond got to the place and decides to let me know before he goes into the villa.
My phone rang and I picked up I had already know who was calling.
” Daniella I’m in front of his house” he spoke softly.
”Whoa goodness , don’t forget to mention Jane’s name as you return the ring back” I said , making sure there isn’t any mistake. I must have my Jane back soon.
Raymond hung up the call. Meeting the security at the gate he described to him that he wants to see, the old man. He asked him to wait outside a bit while he go in to inform the old man. After a while he came back letting him in.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
” Good day sir” he said to him as he walk with bold step into this the living room. As usually he had already taken his with on his favorite couch waiting for him to come him. ” I see you have come here from afar” he nods his head and smile.
” I have , I came here on behalf of my friend Jane.” He said as he sat properly on the couch.
” Have you brought the ring with you?” He asked stretching his hands as he spoke.
” Yes I have” he dips his hand into the pocket and brought out the white clothe he had used to wrapped up the ring. He brought it out and unveiled it gradually. Then he picked it up with the tip of his two finger.
” Here is your ring” he showed it to him as he raised it up.
” Let me take a long” the old man said. Raymond stood up as he held to him, placing the ring in his palm. He looked thoroughly into the ring and smiled.
” yes this is my ring” he smiled cheerfully.
Raymond leap for Joy. ” Yes!’
”When do she wake up” she would ”immediately you arrived home. She would wake up. Right now I would transfer her soul back to her ” he said as he kissed the ring. From his demonstration, Raymond furrowed and had thoughts swirling on his head about the ring not just being an ordinary ring. But a magical one. He stood up to leave after he was done. Raymond returned back to the airport as he boarded another ticket flying back.
Before he returned back, I had gone to visit mom. I still went out without taking the guards with me or telling anyone. I don’t give a fuck about him. I have to go out as I want to. I called out a cab to take me to Peace estate in Castor. That is where my parents had moved to. Not too much of a distance from Seattle. I got into the back seat, as he started to drive.
My mind still flashing back to Jane and Raymond occasionally, as he drives. The wind coming through the window, blows my hair across my face making it to enter into my mouth. I pushed it to the side of my ear from time to time but the breeze seem to be much.
”Here is Peace estate ma’am’ his Voice making me to jerk out of my thought. I got lost in it, that I was unaware when he stopped the car at the said destination.
” Oh sorry” I had my hands into my pink purse and gave him his payment. Thereafter, I alighted. Seeing my house after the vendor shop was exciting. Yes exciting to be home after how many years. I had stopped depending on my parents a long time ago.
I took a few steps to my house, it was just a stone throw.
I pressed the door bell outside the compound, then it rang twice. I heard the creaking sound of the day opening. It was mom.
” Mom!!” I leaped onto her, and gave her so many kisses on her check.
” Oh my beautiful angel!” She pulled me into a tight hug and kissed my cheek as well. Mom is still as beautiful as she has always been. A slim lady with blonde hair, with pink lips. Dad must have been so lucky to have this beautiful woman as his wife. After the pleasantries I saw how sad she has been since dad was arrested. She tried hiding from me, but it is impossible for me not to know.
” You came visiting baby” she smiled again. ” I have to mom, I can’t bear it seeing you sad and lonely. And please do me a favor I don’t wanna see you crying while I’m here, please.” I glued my hands together like I was pleading.
She blushed into a smile. ” You always make me cheerful dear” she pulls my cheek. ” So how has life been treating you my love?” She asked.
”So good mom” I said lying through my teeth. I have promised not to say anything to make her cry. ” I’m glad baby’ she pulls my cheek again.
Raymond came back to Seattle after an hour time flight. While still taking to mom my phone rang. ” Raymond” it escape my lips. I grabbed my phone from the table.
