Sylvia couldn’t wait for dawn to hit St. Francis Hospital. Immediately after David left that night, she went back to her room and grabbed her fur coat. After putting it on, she dashed out to the male quarters located opposite the garden.

She felt lucky when she saw Morris emanating out of the garden. She hurried toward him.

“Can you give me a ride to the hospital?”

“Now?” He asked, looking surprised.

Sylvia gave her forehead a delicate scrape. “I need to see Luna tonight.”

Morris heaved a frustrated sigh. “Go wait for me at the parking lot. I’ll go get the van keys.” He said and went inside.

Sylvia left the spot with a victorious smile. She moved to the parking lot and rested her back against the blue van. She was about to slip her cell phone into her coat pocket when Eleanor appeared.

“Where are you headed?” Asked Elly the moment she walked up to Sylvia.

“I need to see Luna.”

“Okay..” Eleanor slurred and roved her eyes all over Sylvia. “You’re not taking any package tonight and isn

    Crappy insolence! June almost blurted and clenched her jaw. Did Cathrina mistook her for a servant? She shook her head, dismissing the thought. Everyone had seen her face once or twice on TV and she was certain that Cathrina was just being tacky.“Why are you still standing there like a log?”Denim swallowed and was about to intervene when Leonard appeared. None of them noticed the moment he showed up.“Well, here comes the man of the house.” Cathrina declared and flipped her curly hair. She turned to look at Leonard’s direction.“Dogs never cease barking,” Leonard said when he got to the living room, his eyes bearing disgust for Cathrina.“Well, this dog has come to stay.” Cathrina retorted and pointed at herself.It was at that point that Leonard noticed the luggage bag beside her. She began to take furious steps toward her. When he finally reached her, Cathrina pulled out a folded paper from her bag.Meanwhile, the most domestic servants had already formed a colony upstairs and wer

    Fred’s hands were tied. If he had his way, he’ll pause Cathrina like a video game to run after David and Sylvia.She walked up to him and stood very close to him.“Can I help you?” He asked and took a few steps backward.“Yes, Fred. I need your help and the truth is, I’ll be needing your help for as long as I’m here.” She replied.“I see,” Fred said and folded his arms across his chest. “Isn’t it a shame that you need someone to give you updates on your son or is that not what you need? You need info to keep up with his life I guess.”She giggled. “I guess if I had been a better mother then I wouldn’t be seeking your help but it’s sad that I wasn’t ideal,” she cleared her throat loudly and pointed at the gate. “Who was that maiden that went into David’s car anyway?”Fred sighed. It appears that he wasn’t the only one who saw the duo leaving.“She’s Sylvia. The head chef.”Cathrina placed two fingers on her lips and hummed. “I see!”“She replaced Luna,” Fred added.“Yeah.

    Cathrina ignored Leonard’s glare which was sharp enough to cut through her skin. She joined them on the mat and placed the large appetizing bowl of fruit salad before her.“This looks delicious!” Fred found himself mumbling with his eyes rolling all over the bowl.Catherine flashed a mischievous smile.Leonard felt betrayed. He darted his malicious stare back to Fred.“You can as well try a spoonful, Fred. It’s a recipe I’m good at.” Catherine boasted. “David loved it as a child. I’m sure he’s still fond of it.”“Glad to hear that you still have memories of what he likes. I thought the drugs in your system must have wiped that off.” Leonard spat, looking straight into her eyes.Catherina gave a weak smile. “Why don’t we focus on the family picnic and leave out the banter for some other time.”“First of all, you are not part of the family. No one invited you here and you’ll do us a great favor if you leave.” Leonard responded.Catherina turned to Fred with a sigh. “I’m sure you’ll want

She grabbed a glass of water and shook her head, ditching the coffee.Leonard fell back on his chair. “Might have to order breakfast since you all turned out to be useless.” He told Milli who had just served.“I’m very sorry sir.”Milli sighed and began to clear the table. She grabbed the plates and dashed to the kitchen mumbling incoherent words. If only Shane had allowed her to make breakfast but Shane had insisted on cooking while Milli served and it turns out the maid created a disaster.

She recollected standing with Morris on a safe path and the next thing was a sport emanating out of nowhere and then it ran into her.She quickly opened her eyes with a gasp and it dawned on her that she was confined in a hospital. She looked down at the patient uniform she was wearing and when she gazed up, she realized that she had been connected to a ventilator and a drip was hooked to her left hand.Was the accident that bad?
