Mina was breathless with anger. She turned to face the door and shouted, "Come and escort this woman out of here"
Then the door pushed opened and Mina's two tall, muscular bodyguards came in. They walked up to Rachel and grabbed her arm.
"Let go of me now" Rachel struggled against their grip.
"Take her out and don't allow her to step her foot in this hospital again especially in Chad's room. Do you understand me?"
The bodyguards nodded and tightened their grip around Rachel's arm
"Let go of me" Rachel yelped in pain.
The guards dragged her out of the room and her cry disappeared outside the room. Mina turned to face Chad and saw the bouquet Rachel brought. She walked towards it and picked it up. She removed the card put in the flowers and read it. It says: "I am sending you my best wishes for quick recovery. Get well soon"
Mina ripped it into two, then she tore the two pieces into four, then the four into eight and crumpled the card in her hand before throwing it on the ground. She took the bouquet and threw it on the floor. She crushed the flowers under her foot angrily and called out, "Come and get this mess out of here"
A maid came inside and was stunned when she saw the scattered flowers on the floor.
"Are you dumb?! Why are you still standing there?! I said get this out now!" Mina yelled and the maid trembled with fear. As she began to gather the trash, her hand trembled. Mina lowered her head and saw the young maid still in the room. "Hurry up! Are you a slug?!" she yelled again.
The maid did not dare to answer. She quickly pack the mess Mina had done and ran out of the room. Mina closed her eyes and held her head in her hand. She took in a deep breath and opened her eyes.
This Rachel is really a pain in the neck. Causing trouble for Mina.
Mina turned to face Chad and thought, 'Chad thank you for giving me this opportunity. Don't worry, I won't leave your side. I will always be with you till you wake up. I love you"
Outside the hospital.
The bodyguards dragged Rachel out of the room without mercy. Rachel struggled to get away from them, but it was no use. Mere looking at the bodyguards faces gave her goosebumps. Their eyes as cold as ice and their faces as hard as stone. She could only beg for them to leave her. The bodyguards pushed her Rachel away, then they turned and left.
Rachel lowered her head to look at her arms. They were red and swollen. She looked up at the hospital and massaged her painful arm. If only Chad was awake, all this wouldn't have happened to her. She stared at the hospital for few seconds before leaving.
In the hospital.
Mina was watching the doctor as they changed the bandage on Chad's head. The doctor turned to face Mina and said, "He will be fine. Just let him rest" Mina nodded and shifted her gaze to Chad who is on the bed. The doctor left the room and after three seconds, Mrs Torres, Mrs Sharon and Mina's friends came in. They went directly to Chad.
Mrs Torres placed her hand on Mina's shoulder and said, "You must be tired, right? I think you should go home"
Mina turned her head to look at Mrs Torres. "No, aunt, I don't want to go home yet. I want to stay with Chad"
"Just go and rest, then you will come back, okay?"
Finally, Mina agreed and went home with her friends.
At the Torres mansion.
Mina popped open the first bottle of champagne and the cork whizzed across the room. She picked up a glass and poured herself wine. She also poured for Analyn and Darna.
"Hey, Mina can you please tell us why we are celebrating. I am confused right now" Darna asked, curiously as she sipped her drink.
Mina looked at Darna and laughed. She took her drink, moving it closer to her lips, she sipped it. "Things are falling in place now. Chad is in a coma and I will always be the one taking care of him"
Analyn and Darna looked at each other, confused. What is she saying? Chad is in a coma and she is celebrating. Does that make any sense?
Analyn placed her wine glass on the table and stared at Mina in bewilderment. "What are you saying? You are celebrating because Chad is in a coma?"
"No. I am actually celebrating because since Chad is in a coma, I will be the one taking care of him. You know Rachel won't be able to come near him. I will be the one beside him till he wakes up. When he wakes up and heard that I have always been the one taking care of him, he will fall for me. Actually, he will be very sad when he heard that Rachel did not come and visit him. Don't you guys understand?"
Mina actually chased Rachel away because she does not want her anywhere Chad. She wants to be the only one taking care of him.
Analyn and Darna stared at each other before nodding their heads.
"Good job girl" Darna raised her thumb in approval.
"I hope your plans works" Analyn said with a worried voice.
Mina looked at Analyn with a puzzled expression on her face. "What do you mean by you hope? Definitely, my plans will work. Just wait and see for yourself"
"Hey, baby girl, why are you talking like that. Don't tell me you don't trust Mina?" Darna laughed.
"Of course I do, but you guys know who Chad is. He won't just give up on Rachel just like that. He won't fall for anybody. Even if Rachel does not come to him, he will definitely go to her" Analyn said
"Then I won't allow it" Mina got angry immediately.
Can she really STOP Chad from going to Rachel?
"You should know you can't stop him" Analyn was not ready to give up"
Of course, no one can stop Chad. Chad does whatever he likes and goes to anybody he likes. His mother could not even stop him from going to Rachel's place, so how can Mina stop him.
Mina's plan might be successful, but Chad will never give his heart to another woman. His heart belongs to his one and only Rachel.
"That's enough!" Mina shouted and threw her wine glass on the floor and it broke into pieces.
Darna was frightened. She quickly stood up and went to Mina. "Don't mind her. She is talking nonsense. She is drunk that's why she said all of those. Mina we will always stand by your side. We will support you with all your plans. Calm down, okay?"
Analyn realised her mistake and walked up to Mina. She lowered her head and apologized, "I am sorry Mina. I don't know what came over me. You can call it evil spirits. We promise we will help you with your plans. Just... Don't be mad again"
Mina finally looked at her friends faces and laughed, "I know you are just worried about my plans, but don't worry, it will be a success. Just wait and watch. It might not be now, but Chad will definitely be mine at the end" she said, her anger subsiding.
She took another wine glass and poured herself wine. She raised the glasses and said, "To the success of all I have planned" Analyn and Darna raised their glasses also and said, "Cheers" They clinged the sides of their glasses and drank.
Later at night. Mina quickly came back to the hospital and as usual, her and Chad will remain in the same room. She complained to the nurses that she can't sleep on the couch and her body is aching. They brought for her a bed to sleep on. She lie down on the bed and covered herself with a duvet. She stayed awake with her eyes closed and she couldn't sleep. She opened her eyes and sat up in bed. She turned her head to look at the cute creature sleeping on the bed. He looks so peaceful, gentle, calm and innocent while sleeping. She wished that was how his face was whenever he is with her.
She got down from bed and walked towards him. She lean over him and touched his face. She started from his soft and fluffy hair, his eyes, pointed nose and his lips. His lips were warm and inviting. Even though his lips are colourless, they still look attractive.
At that moment she wanted to kiss him. She moved her lips closer to his and then....
The door suddenly opened.
Mina turned her head and was shocked to see a nurse standing at the door.
What is this nurse doing here?
Mina frowned. "What are you doing here?"
The nurse was stunned. She just saw Mina leaning over Chad. Anyone who saw them like that will think she was doing something with Chad.
Is she not ashamed?
The nurse finally opened her mouth and said, "I came to check on him" then she walked in with a medical report and examined his body and the rate of the fluid dripping Into the iv then she left. Mina patted her chest and jumped back on her bed, she lie with her back and thought of what would have happened if that nurse didn't come in. She would have kissed Chad. She grinned happily and soon, she fell asleep.
