Red got up early and left the house to get to the bottom of the growing scandal involving Chelsea. Because she woke up later than he did, Chelsea was unable to catch up to him in time. She didn't waste any time and went down to the kitchen to get some breakfast. Maris got her attention just as she was turning around to head back upstairs.Chelsea whispered, "Ate... We have a visitor," as they were eating.Chelsea gave a perplexed look to Maris before asking, "Really? "Let them in," was the command she issued.Chelsea's eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she looked up and saw Mrs. Buenavista and Sofia standing in front of her. "No need, we're already here," Chelsea said."Why are you even in this place?" After a hasty descent, Chelsea found herself face to face with Mrs. Buenavista. "You question me as if I have no right to go to the house that belongs to my son. If there is anyone who does not have the right to be here, it would have to be you due to the fact that you are merely a mist
“Maris, why did you let them come in here?” The loud voice of Manang Fe could be heard throughout the house as she scolded Maris.“Manang, that's enough…” Atanash intervened, as Maris couldn't speak directly to them and tears were already falling down her cheeks, “It's just that when I open the gate, they come straight in, I'm sorry…” Maris explained what happened.“Stop crying.” Chelsea said as she comforted Maris by patting her back, “Just make sure that next time they come, they won't be able to enter the house, okay?” Maris immediately nodded and wiped away her tears, “Yes, ate, sorry…”“Did you tell Red what happened earlier, dear?” Chelsea suddenly asked Manang Fe.“Not yet… Maybe we shouldn't tell Red for now. He's already thinking about too many things and what happened wasn't that alarming.” Chelsea replied with a smile.Although Manang Fe felt a disagreement, she just nodded her head and didn't mind Mrs. Buenavista's threat. Everyone calmed down and they decided to just cook
In the mansion of the Buenavistas, Mrs. Buenavista and Sofia whispered weakly. Their faces show that something bad is about to happen. "So what's the plan, auntie?" Sofia asked.Mrs. Buenavista smiled, as if an idea had crossed her mind. Even before she spoke, Sofia seemed to understand what she wanted to happen, and it meant they needed a good plan. "I haven't forgotten what that old woman did to me. Who is she to slap her peasant hands on my porcelain cheek? I'll make sure she will regret what she did!" Mrs. Buenavista said with a smile."Aren't we in danger with what you want to do, auntie? I mean, the last time we did something like this, we almost went to jail," Sofia expressed concern about their evil plan."Who does she think she is to defend my son? She's just a maid who stayed in this mansion because of my husband. If it weren't for my husband, I would have thrown her out of this mansion a long time ago. And now that no one will defend her... it will be easy for me to erase h
"Are you serious, auntie? Isn't that too much? What if she dies? I don't want to go to jail..." Sofia's words were becoming panicked as she learned of Mrs. Buenavista's plan."Don't be scared, hija. Even if she dies, I won't let us go to jail. Because no one will know that we are the ones behind it." Mrs. Buenavista replied, but Sofia still didn't agree with what she wanted to happen. She was uneasy and was contemplating whether she should follow Mrs. Buenavista's request."But auntie... We can punish her in other ways... Why do we need to hire someone to harm her? That's too cruel, auntie. I don't think my conscience can handle it..." Sofia was so uneasy that she was biting her nails.Mrs. Buenavista then approached her and took the card that she had handed over earlier. The card contained the contact number of a person who would commit any kind of crime for a large sum of money. Mrs. Buenavista immediately dialed the number and a loud voice of a man spoke from the other line."It's
After two hours of waiting, the doctor who operated on Manang Fe finally came out. Chelsea and Red quickly stood up and approached the doctor. "Doc, how is Manang Fe?" Red asked the doctor.The doctor first removed his surgical mask and exhaled, "For now she's okay. The operation we performed on her was successful. She sustained some fractures in her body, in her arms, wrists, legs, and even her pelvis is broken. We did not find any internal bleeding. She also has minor head wounds. But as I have said, the surgery is successful and she will be transferred to the recovery room soon, but we still need to run some tests and observe her. She'll stay there depending on how fast she wakes up from the anesthesia. The nurse will monitor all of her vital signs and help her if she has any side effects. After that, she can be transferred to her room and you can see her." said the doctor.They felt relieved upon hearing the doctor's statement. "Thank you, doc…" Chelsea expressed her gratitude. Th
"Thank you for your cooperation, Ma'am. We will do everything to catch the person who did this to you." The Detective expressed gratitude to Manang Fe, "Ma'am, Sir, I will go ahead now.""Thank you, Detective," Red said as he escorted the Detective out of the hospital, who was tasked to ask Manang Fe a few questions that may help in the search for the person who hit her.While outside, Chelsea immediately took Red's phone and dialed their home telephone. On the first ring, it seemed like the people there were busy and no one answered. Fortunately, someone picked up on the second try when Chelsea called the phone in the living room.[Hello, Buenavista's residence, may I know who's calling?] A woman's voice answered, and Chelsea immediately thought it was Maris.“Maris? Si Chelsea to, gising na si manang. Paki sabihan si Kuya Roy para sabay na kayong pumunta dito.”"Really, Ate?! Kuya Roy! Manang is already awake! Ate, I have prepared the things you asked me to bring. Should I bring the
"Mom, tell me the truth. Did you do that to Manang Fe?" Red asked his mother as he held onto both of her shoulders. Mrs. Buenavista swallowed hard and took a step back. "Do what, hijo? Is something wrong?" Mrs. Buenavista feigned innocence."Mom, please... Is it true that you ordered someone to run over Manang Fe? Is it true?!" Red's eyebrows furrowed in anger, but Mrs. Buenavista still didn't show any signs of guilt."Who told you that, your husband who does nothing but shame our family again and again?!""Mom, please don't involve others and just admit it to me. Is it true—?""No! I will never do such a thing. What do you take me for? A murderer?! Are you seriously suspecting me now?! I'm your mother, Red Cedric!" Mrs. Buenavista shouted. Her voice echoed in the room.Red didn't know what to do anymore. He felt that his mother was lying, but he also knew that he couldn't make her confess. "Fine, I'll find out myself. Don't expect me to defend you after this."“Stop it, Red. Why are
An hour after Red left, Kuya Roy arrived at the hospital. Chelsea was surprised to see that she had been waiting for someone to enter the door but no one did. "Kuya, where's Maris?" Chelsea asked."She said she had something to attend to, ma'am. She sent me these things you asked for," Kuya Roy replied as he placed the bags on the sofa. Afterward, he quickly approached and stared at Manang Fe. "Oh, she looks at me as if I'm about to die, my goodness!" Manang Fe jokingly said, feeling a bit uncomfortable with Kuya Roy's gaze.After a while, Kuya Roy sobbed like a child, "Manang!" he cried out. He sat on Manang Fe's bed and didn't stop crying. "Why are you crying like that?" Manang Fe scolded him because his crying became even louder.Chelsea immediately stood up, poured a glass of water from the table, and handed it to Kuya Roy, "Drink some water first, kuya." Chelsea handed the water to Kuya Roy. He drank a little and calmed down."Well, when I saw you lying on the road covered in blo
