Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“Rex wait up.” Maria called and ran after her friend, before the elevators closed fully, Maria squeezed through quickly and easily but Rex wasn't pleased with it. He wanted to leave the building alone and without questions from anyone or Maria. He knew Maria like the back of his hand, she could be a lot to handle and difficult to avoid when she is determined to get something from anyone. “What happened Rex? Is everything alright?” Maria looked at him worriedly.
“Yes it is.” Rex replied tightly and kept his face straight looking ahead, but Maria wasn’t convinced she knew something was wrong and he wasn’t ready to tell.
“Why are you in a hurry? What’s the rush? Where are you heading to?” She bombarded him with question upon question expecting an answer from him.
“Why are you policing me about” I told you before it’s nothing. There is something I have to sort out that’s all.” He answered and prayed this elevator would just reach the ground floor on time.

“Mr Angelo, don’t get too defensive. You brought in a patient badly injured. We cannot let this slip because we are guided by laws too. I need more details about the whole incidence, if possible the exact reason she had that gash, this would help us know what to do.” Jerry told Rex. “Like what? Jerry is this a joke? What do expect me to tell you?” Rex asked, his tone sounding bored and slightly aggressive. “Can you start from where and how you found her.” Jerry began and Rex was quiet. His eyes roamed the room aimlessly because he had nothing to say and how to begin. Rex couldn’t tell Jerry he stalked Cherry after the little misunderstanding between them. Saying that will not only ruin his ego and image but cause bad rumors and hot news around the hospital. With years of constructing and studying the hospital’s facility Rex knew every nurse employed were gossips, they never like to mind their own business. “She works for me. I wanted to return one of

Rex soon got tired and had passed out sitting on a chair and resting his head on the side of the bed Cherry laid. Into his deep sleep he thought something was playing with his head. Instead of shaking it off, Rex stayed put, enjoying the hand playing with his hair. The comfort was intensively nice and pleasing that Rex leaned closer and turned his head in the direction he wanted the hand to touch. ‘Go on Susie’he whispers in his mind but then froze as reality dawns on him. ‘Wait Susie?’ Rex immediately snap his eyes open and he jerks up from the chair he sat. Fright confusion and joy messed up his emotions, Rex had to look around the room in distress for the sly witch haunting his dreams before realizing it was all in his head and this was Cherry’s bed. Rex looked down at Cherry, she was asleep and unconsciously running her hand on the sheets beside her which was the spot he jerked from. Rex almost cussed out and slapped himself, it was Cherry

“Don’t cry Cherry… I am here for you… I am sure there is a solution to this.” Rex tries to calm her but was unsure if he should wrap her in his arms like he always dreamed of or tap her shoulder in comfort. “I can’t see a single thing! What am I going to do?” Cherry panicked and tried searching around aimlessly. “Calm down Cherry there is no way you are blind.” Rex spoke with confidence despite his heart raced with fear and doubt. “CALM DOWN! CALM DOWN? I CAN’T CALM DOWN LIKE THIS!” She yells at him without an ounce of fear or regret. “Stop over thinking this Cherry. Just calm down and listen to me, your fear is causing you to hallucinate.” Rex ignored her snappish attitude and tried reasoning with her. “I am freaking out right now, everything is black Mr Angelo!” Cherry answered more calmly but her hands shook and Rex took them in his warm ones. “I know everything is dark, but you need to be reasonable with me… tell me, what can’t you

No one wants to get involved in their “So I have to stay with him!” Cherry yelled in terror. “It’s not the case-” Jerry started but was cut off by Rex. “You are free to leave Jerry.” Rex waved them off so can let him and Cherry be alone. Rex has been quiet since Jerry jumped into he and Cherry’s child fight, he observed the young doctor was calculating his next words before he stopped him.

Rex had a nervous expression written all over his face. His thoughts were about Maria and the wrath she promised to rain on him. Rex scratched his temples and glanced at Cherry. It was best to face Maria outside the room where she might not accidentally hurt Cherry. The moment Rex stepped outside and closed the door a shoe hit his head so hard it almost knocked him out. He yelped from the sharp pain and a groan escaped his lips. Rex slouched down grabbing his head in pain, then he realized something trickled down his finger ‘blood!’ he look down at his fingers to see he was bleeding from his temples. “What the hell Maria.” He yelled at his outburst friend who didn’t think twice before throwing her six inches heel at him. she was the only one who could do that and get awaywith it. “You crazy son of a-- you ditched me for almost a week at your office and you expect me not to be angry!” Maria yelled angrily at Rex.

Cherry lay on the floor in shock. Her whole body was numb and frozen in place, not even her eyes moved nor blinked. The only sign that said she was alive is the rise and fall of her chest. What wasn’t normal was the rate her heart was beating, which worsened by the second. The memories which haunted her in the past suddenly came flying through her mind like a fresh wound. The images kept flashing through her eyes it made breathing difficult and stirred up a panic attack, making her nauseous.Cherry could not feel or hear anything because her body had temporarily shut down every sense nerve preventing her body from responding to her surroundings. About an hour later from being paralyzed, Cherry began to feel light pinches to her skin and she was able to move her eyes freely. The first thing she heard was a familiar feminine voice screaming at something.“I- I think she is back! Oh my lord-- thank God you are fine Cherry.” Maria held Cherry’s head up carefully. “It’s okay, you a

Two minutes later Rex and Maria were upstairs.Maria actually was the one to drag Rex all the way by his ears ending all his protest. “I can’t carry her to the hospital, it will ruin my reputation.” Rex argued. “Last time I checked you brought her to your house. By yourself, you treated her, by yourself you looked after her, so why is this a big deal for you? Is it because I am here? You think I might tease you? Well Rex you don’t know me well as I thought.” Maria raised a challenging brow at him. Rex knew there was no hiding from Maria, but he was not ready to accept the truth in front of anyone, likewise, Cherry hates his guts so why tell anyone. “It has nothing to do with youbeing here.” Rex grumbled out. “So? What’s the holdup? You got to carry her now I don’t know how hurt she is. I think some glasses might have gotten into her bloodstream.” Maria explained and could have sworn there was a glimpse of fear and worry in Rex’s eyes but he

“Her body went into a severe shock. It was unexpected at first- but… did something happen while I was away?” He ask. “What do you mean unexpected?” Rex confronts him. Jerry sighed, his eyes darting away from Rex’s eyes. “Tell me, what did you mean by that- huh?” “She reacted to something, I am not sure what it is, except you detail me on what happened before the incident I can know what caused this sudden bizarre condition and fix it. Otherwise, I can’t help her.” Jerry gave him an apologetic look. Rex paused at this, pinching the bridge of his nose in thought. “We had a little argument, an hour before I left the room and when I return she had already hurt herself, it was not me but her.” Rex defends. “A fight? Since when did you engage yourself in an argument. Not just anyone but a woman?” Jerry voiced out in shock. Rex wasn’t the type to hold fights or arguments with anyone especially with the female gender, because there is no winning with them. Je

I am sick of listening to meaningless screaming and quarrel! If you all can’t settle your differences like normal people, at least be mature to do it!” Maria expresses.“You know I didn’t want them here but you let them stay.” Rex points out to Maria.“Son, why are you referring to us as strangers?” Marcelo frowns at Rex.“You are been strangers since you and mom left!.” Rex snaps angrily.“Rex!- I’m sorry Sir Angelo, Rex is a little… confused an

She scrolled through some channels until she came across a LIVE news broadcasting channel talking about a fire consuming a mansion. Maria didn’t think much about and scrolled past it but then again curiosity got the best of her and she channeled back to the tv station. She closely listened to the news and watched the footage shown by the police helicopter from above while enjoying her breakfast but then something catches her attention.‘the wall?
