Chapter 2: it's been six years,how are you?
An ambulance can be heard in the background and a sound of a stretcher being pushed into the hospital with the nurses shouting urgently to move out of the way.
Roxanne laid on the stretcher that was pushed towards the direction of the emergency room, tightly holding Leah's hand she said as she whimpered in pain
Please don't leave me,am scared '
I won't leave until you are safe, okay ' Leah replied.
As they reached the door to the emergency room,the attending nurses forbade Leah from going any further, so she waited outside.
Leah stood in front of the emergency room looking anxious and confused, anxious for the girl who is inside currently under going surgery and confused about why she is anxious about the girl she just met. A melodious ringtone was heard from the back pocket of her skirt, which broke her train of thoughts. She looked down on her blood stained hands and decided to go to the restroom.
In the restroom,Leah answered the call and out it on loud speaker, as she stood before the mirror in the restroom to wash her hands,
Speak ',
Second miss, l looked into the teenager you saved ', her assistant, Mick, said.
Good job, continue ', Leah said.
Her name is Roxanne Kim, she is fifteen years old , and is the adopted daughter of the business tycoon ',Mick said.
Which one?', Leah asked as she took a napkin to clean her dainty fingers.
To Leah , her brother is only business tycoon that she knows that is why she asked that question.
Umm, it's...', Mick hesitated.
But Leah was silent, she didn't rush him because she knew he has a reason for hesitating ,
It's Lucian Kim', Mick said with a heavy sigh.
Leah froze , her long eyelashes blinked rapidly as she was trying to compose herself.
With a deep breath, she threw the napkin away and asked,
Who is her biological father?',
It's Lucian's third older brother, Michael, he
died in a car accident six years ago , her
mother , Adriana Greene, married her lover
immediately after her husband's death,they
had a child together, she is a year older
than Miss Roxanne ',Mick said.
Leah scoffed,
She finally got what she wanted,after having
an affair behind her husband's back,
because of this Raquel died',
She picked up the phone and placed it on her ear as she leaned on the counter, while using her free hand to tuck her stray strand behind her other ear.
Anything else?',she asked
Adriana has a younger sister, kira , who is to
be kind and gentle, she works in the hospital
as a pediatrician ',
Roxanne has two older brothers, correct?'
Yes', Mick agreed.
Call the eldest and tell him what happened,
is there any other thing you have to say?',Leah asked.
According to the information, her lover
turned husband died in a plane crash three
ago and rumors are going around saying
that it was Lucian who killed him', Mike reported.
Brother Lucian isn't stupid,so why the
rumors?', Leah asked as she pondered on it.
My thoughts exactly, Adriana moved in
with her illegitimate daughter Laura, to live
in Lucian's house after the death of her
husband,claiming that she needs all her
children's love ', Mike stated.
She is planning something, isn't she?',Leah asked as something flashed in her memory.
I am not sure , she has been too low key
lately that it's hard to find out what she has
been up to',Mike replied.
Laura and Roxanne are very close, Miss
Roxanne listens to whatever her mother
says and because of this,the relationship
between the father and daughter isn't
good', Mick continued.
Apart from that woman,who is close to ?', Leah asked.
Kira, her maternal aunt',Mick replied respectfully.
Investigate on that woman, and find out if her
lover is still alive', Leah ordered.
Yes , second miss', Mick replied.
After the call, Leah turned to look at herself in the mirror saying,
Brother Lucian, it's been six years how are
you'.
She picked her phone that she placed on the counter after the call , then left the restroom. Immediately she stepped out , nurses where running around in panic , worried, Leah grabbed a nurse's arm and asked,
What's going on?.
The patient in the ER, has suffered heavy
blood loss and is need of blood transfusion
but her blood type is very rare, we don't have
it',the nurse replied anxiously.
What is her blood type?', Leah asked.
AB negative', the nurse replied.
Leah who was about to call her twin sister, to ask if she has any blood in her research hospital froze, a surprise look flashed on her face,
What did you say?',she asked the nurse.
She is AB negative',the nurse said.
If she is AB negative , which means she is not Adriana's daughter, what exactly are the hiding from me. Leah was confused about this matter but decided to put it aside for later.
I am AB negative, I can donate my blood
right?', Leah asked.
The nurse who was beginning to get impatient looked at Leah as if she is her guardian angel, and shouted to her colleague who was passionate by,
Hurry,we have a donor',
Everything happened in a flash, the practically pushed Leah into the donor's room afraid that she would change her mind. They were scared of one thing that was Roxanne dieing in their hospital, for her father is one of their major shareholders and no one wants to die. With the the blood in the bags , they rushed to the ER.
Leah came out from the room, looking weak and pale, she could have rested but she didn't want to stay in the hospital, she hated hospitals and she wasn't ready to meet Lucian,so, with determination she walked toward the hospital entrance.
Before she could reach, suddenly, she slipped and fell,as the floor was getting closer she felt someone hold her hand. There was no need for Leah to turn to know who that was because she knew that it's her twin sister, Lena.
Sister'
How did you get yourself in this mess' Lena , a red haired like her younger sister,she looks identical to Leah but the only difference was the the black mole at the side of her right eye. She wore a black suit and a pair of black boots and her hair was packed in a bun, she is the chairman of her research hospital and ess in a meeting when she got the news that her sister is in the hospital.
How long have you known?', Leah asked as she was helped up by her older sister.
I found out last year',Lena replied
Why?',
You didn't want anything to do with them
and you were preoccupied with Anna, so I
didn't inform you', Lena justified herself.
Remembering little Anna, her cousin, Raquel's daughter, a smile formed on her pale face.
Get me out of here , I feel suffocated ',
Okay', Leah agreed.
