Dominic has already arrived at the location Kyla said. He hadn’t immediately found Kyla. He kept asking questions to the people there until he found out that she had been taken to the nearest clinic there because she had lost consciousness. He immediately went to the clinic.
He was in a small barangay away from the city. The men sent Kyla so far. Dominic was also unfamiliar with that place.
“Excuse me, nurse, did anyone bring here a woman who allegedly lost consciousness?”
“Ah! Yes, sir, she is in room 3.”
“Thank you,” he immediately went to room 3.
He saw Kyla lying down. There was a woman there watching over her. Dominic didn’t know the woman because she looked different and had a big scar on her face, so he just thought of thanking her instead of judging the woman.
“Hello, I’m Dominic. Thank you for bringing my friend here to the clinic. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.”
“It’s okay, I just saw her on the road very weak, and then she suddenly lost consciousness.” The answer of the woman.
“Ah! Is that so? Thank you very much for your help. What is your name?” Dominic asked.
“Ah! I’m Jean. I just have to leave because I just left my mother at home alone. Maybe that’s what happened to her.” Said, Jean.
“All right, be careful.”
~~~~~
Jean left. She was on her way home. She first went to the market to buy her stepmom’s favorite food.
She was happy with the shopping and she had reached home.
“Hello mom, how are you? I’m sorry I just got home because I helped a woman on the way. I should have gone home.”
Her stepmother is sick, so she takes care of her. She is already sitting in a wheelchair.
She remembered the good her stepmother had done. Her stepmother got that disease because of overwork in a wealthy family where she was sometimes tortured. She found out all the stories her stepmother told her about what her bosses did, especially her male boss.
When her stepmother mentioned her boss’s name, she tried even harder to rise in life to avenge her stepmother and the pain that had happened to her before.
Her stepmother could not work because of the bad things her boss had done. She told herself she would do everything she could, just get revenge.
Jean just stopped thinking when someone called her.
“Hello Jean, how are you?”
“This is sir Robert, it’s okay. I’m taking care of my stepmom until she recovers. I’m just his family, so I can’t leave him.” Jean replied.
“I have a proposal for you. Can you help me?”
“What is that, sir, Robert?”
Robert Uy has been Jean’s boss for several years. During the times her stepmother adopted her, she worked day and night to save. Robert was kind to her, but when she could save and start her own business, she told Robert to start her own business. Robert didn’t stop her, but it was fun for Jean’s success. Robert trained she succeeded in life.
So now that Robert is asking for a favor from her, she will reciprocate.
“I’m going to ask you to find a couple. Be careful because it can influence family. They had one child, but the husband did not know that the child was not his real child. His wife has kept it a secret for a long time.” Robert explained.
“Is that so? Do you mean you are the real father of that child, so you are looking for them?”
“Exactly Jean, you are so smart you got my point. That couple is behind me, especially the woman, because she just left me after a few years of our marriage. I did almost everything for her, but for her, it was still lacking. Because she knew we were just poor and she traded me for her boss, who had a lot of money. So, like you, I was working hard to lift my life and become successful. Although there is a difference in the situation we experienced before, I don’t even know much about what you experienced before. All I know Jean is. We both want revenge on people who have caused pain in our lives. But despite everything, the pain they caused still helped we are now successful. All right, I’m getting a little emotional.” Robert’s long explanation.
“I understand your point, sir. All right, I’ll help you.” Jean replied.
“All right, thank you. Just let me know. Maybe I will go home to the Philippines next month and we will meet.” Said, Robert.
“Wait a minute sir, can you email me the list of names of the people you’re looking for me so I can start tomorrow?”
“All right Jean, I’ll send it now. Just take care of them in that family, especially the guy. You don’t know that habit. ”
“All right sir, noted.”
Jean received the email in a few minutes. When she saw who that family was. Her blood pressure suddenly rose because she knew that family very well.
~~~~~
Naneth was still worried because Dominic still hadn’t reported what had happened to Kyla. She couldn’t be comfortable with those she would sit in their apartment. Someone rang the doorbell, and she opened it and it was Gio.
“Gio, it’s good you passed.”
“Yeah, I’m worried about you because you’re thinking about Kyla. Hasn’t Dominic called again? What if you just call him?
“Of course, haistt I didn’t think of that because I thought, Kyla, I have a number for sir Dominic.”
Naneth called Dominic to say hello to Kyla.
“Hello Dominic, it’s good, and you answered. This is Naneth. How is Kyla?”
“Kyla is okay, in case a woman took her to the clinic because she lost consciousness. Fortunately, your woman cares.” Dominic replied.
“Haist, thank you. I’m breathing easy. When are you coming back to Manila?”
“Maybe tomorrow. The doctor said she can travel tomorrow.”
“Didn’t the woman who brought her there mention anything to you? What is her name?” Naneth asked.
“Nothing much, that’s what she said. She just saw Kyla on the street, who was very weak and fainted, so she took her to the doctor. Ah!!! By the way, the woman’s name is Jean.”
“Jean?!” Naneth was surprised to hear the woman’s name.
“Yes, Jean, why do you know Jean?”
“Ah!! Nothing, that name just seems familiar to me but never mind, it doesn’t matter anymore. Kyla must be safe. Please take care of her and go straight to our apartment tomorrow. Thank you, Dominic.” Naneth said, smiling.
She already felt relieved because she knew her friend was safe.
“So! What did Dominic say?”
Naneth hugged Gio. And she said.
“I am happy, Gio, because my friend is safe. If something happened to her, I might not forgive myself.” Naneth said with mixed sadness.
“What do you mean, Naneth?”
“Huh? Did I say something?”
“Naneth, I heard what you said. What do you mean you can’t forgive yourself when something happens to Kyla? Aren’t you telling me something?” Gio asked in astonishment.
“Ah!” Naneth wonders if she will tell Gio about Kyla and Natasha’s secret plan. What can she do? She is so stuck in the situation she doesn’t want to lie in case she has no choice because everyone around her is all-important to her.
“Hey Naneth, are you listening to a question?”
“Ah! Because that’s how it is, Gio.”
Naneth recounts the plans of the three of them. She said that Kyla was only affected by her plan with Natasha. She also said that she could agree to Natasha’s plan to help it and facilitate the case they were handling. That was the only way they could gradually find out the cause of Leah Roa’s death.
Naneth said more. Gio couldn’t believe what Naneth said.
“Gio, I know what we did was against the company’s protocol. Now we know first and you are our boss. You may fire Kyla and me. Please forgive me if I didn’t tell you right away. I was stuck when I didn’t want anyone to be hurt and hurt, but I couldn’t do it alone and I couldn’t help but help Mrs. Roa because I understand her situation, especially now that we know Mr. Roa is a murderer and one night she called me, that Mr. Roa suspecting her. I am also worried about her safety.” Naneth explained.
Gio did not answer immediately. He first thought about what he would answer to Naneth because the things Naneth had told him had not yet sunk into his mind.
“Gio, what? Speak! so that I know your answer to what you heard about what I said.” Said Naneth.
What is Gio’s answer?
