Chad stayed in the hospital for three more days. He has been telling his parent that he does not want to stay at the hospital anymore. Even though, he has not fully recovered, he doctors had to discharge him. They will come to check on him at home, that will be better.
It has also been a long time since he had been in the Torres mansion and had missed his home. It was like he has just been set free from the cage he has been in for a very long time when they got home. Mrs Torres did not allow her son to walk into the house, she made him sits on the wheel chair and was wheeled to his room. When they got to his room, he lie on the bed and the iv was inserted into his vein again just like in the hospital, but he liked it like that. At home, he will be free, but at the hospital, Urgh.
His skin crawled whenever he thought of the hospital. After the doctor inserted the iv in his vein, he told them to allow Chad to rest, or else he will go back to the hospital, then the doctor left the room. They watched his for few seconds before leaving the room. Seeing the door closed behind them, Chad quickly brought out his phone and dialed a number.
***
At the sugar cane farm.
Rachel's phone rang in her pocket. She quickly dropped the sugar cane sticks in her hand and pulled out her phone. She was stunned when she saw Chad's name displayed on the screen of her phone. She stared at the phone for five seconds before accepting the call.
"Hello" Chad's gentle voice sounded from the other side.
Tears rolled down her cheeks when she heard his voice. "Chad is that you?" Rachel could not believe that she would hear Chad's voice again.
"Yes. Why are you crying?"
"Why won't I cry? Do you know how many days I have waited for you to call? I even came to the hospital to see you, but I was not allowed to enter your room. I called your phone, but Mina picked the call instead of you"
Chad's eyes turned dark immediately. Sadness and anger clouded his features. What they told him is totally different from what he is hearing now. He thought Rachel did not bother to visit him because she was still mad at him.
"I am sorry. My mother told me you did not come to visit me. I will talk to her and I also want to know why she lied to me"
"Forget about all of that. It's all in the past now" Rachel said as she wiped her tears with the sleeve of her shirt.
"Okay. I will listen to you"
Definitely, Chad will listen to Rachel.
"Are you coming now? I have missed you already. I can't really wait to see you"
"Em... Sorry Rachel, I won't be able to come today"
"Why?" Rachel was a little bit sad.
"Because am still on bed. I am not allow to go out until I am fully recovered"
"Oh..." Rachel voice showed a hint of disappointment.
Chad laughed. "But you can come and visit me at home"
Rachel face immediately lit up. "Really?" she smiled.
"Mhm"
"Okay. I will be there soon" Rachel said and hung up the phone.
She ran to Johanna and her mother and told them the good news. Johanna wanted to follow her, but was stopped by Mrs beltran. Rachel waved goodbye at them and left the farm. She went home, took her bathe again and changed into a red long layered skirt and a white blouse with a red flat shoe, then she left the house.
At the Torres mansion.
Rachel was allowed to enter the mansion because she is Chad's girlfriend. If anybody tries to disrespect her, the person won't be spared by Chad, so they respected her as she came in. Mac saw her coming and quickly went to her. He bowed and said, "Ma'am, you should have called me to pick you instead of taking a cab"
"It's nothing" Rachel smiled.
Two maids came to her and bow. "Ma'am Rachel, should we tell the young master that you are here?"
"Yes, please do" Rachel smiled at them.
"Okay, ma'am Rachel" they turned and left.
Another maids came to her and bow. "Ma'am Rachel, since you are here to see our young master, why don't you come in?"
"Ah, no, I am fine staying outside. I will wait for Chad's order to come in" Rachel answered them.
The maids bowed and left.
In the mansion.
Mina came out of her room and saw a maid about to enter Chad's room. She immediately grabbed the maid's arm and pulled her back. "Are you crazy? Don't you remember what the doctor said? We should all leave Chad to rest. What do you want? Are you spying on the young master?" Mina's voice was low and cold.
"Miss Mina, ma'am Rachel is here to see the young master" the maid said, horror crossing her face.
Mima was shocked. Her face glow in anger. "Rachel came here to see Chad? How dare her?" She said through her clenched teeth, then turned to the maid. "None of you should report this to Chad"
"But..."
"Do you want to lose your job?"
The maid shook her head.
"Then keep your mouth shut" Mina rolled her eyes at the maid and said, "I will go to her myself, so you can leave now and remember to keep your mouth shut" Mina turned and left. The maid stood there and watched Mina's back disappear out of the coriddor.
Rachel is definitely different from Mina. She wished Rachel was living in the mansion instead of Mina.
Mina's eyes flashed angrily when she saw Rachel standing outside the mansion. Rachel heard footsteps coming closer to her and her lips curled into a smile, then she turned. "Chad, you are..." She stopped talking and the smile on her lips froze. She was expecting Chad, but she is seeing Mina coming towards her.
"What are you doing here?" Mina asked and finally stood in front of Rachel.
"What's your business with that? Chad told me to come here"
"You don't have the right to be in this mansion, so get out"
"And what right do you have in this mansion?" Rachel retorted. She was not going to allow this Mina bully her again. It's getting too much.
Mina pointed her index finger at Rachel. "You, leave now or else you will regret coming here"
"I am not leaving. You don't have the right to chase me out of this place"
Rage seized Mina. She raised her hand and gave a fierce slap on Rachel's face. Her face turned to the other side, letting her hair flip to the side too. Rachel was caught off guard. She did not expect that Mina would slap her. She raised her head slowly and slapped Mina on the face. Mina's head was pushed to the left by force. She was furious and jumped up to hit Rachel back.
Suddenly, she caught a sight of a figure approaching quickly with the corner of her eyes. She quickly changed to squat down on the ground, with one hand covering her cheek and the other on her chest, pleading, "Rachel, I said I am sorry for not allowing you to see Chad. I know It was all my fault. I am begging you to stop hitting me..." she paused and pretended to cough, then she continued, "Don't hit me again. I am begging you"
Wow! A perfect switch from arrogance to grievance within one second. Rachel could not help, but admire Mina's acting skill. She looked up and saw Mrs Torres coming over with a gloomy face.
"Mina, are you okay?" Mrs Torres bent down and helped Mina up. She turned to Rachel, raised her hand and gave her a slap. Mrs Torres thunderous slap made the maids and security guard turned their head to look at them.
Rachel touched her cheek and looked into Mrs Torres eyes. Instantly, she tasted the blood in her mouth. She knew Mrs Torres used all her strength to slap her. As she was about to open her mouth to talk, she felt a wave of pain hit her head. Her hair has been violently grabbed by Mrs Torres and she lost balance.
Mrs Torres raised her hand and slapped Rachel again. This time, she fell to the ground and her vision goes blurry, and tears fell from her eyes. Mrs Torres eyes was filled with hatred as she looked at Rachel. "Get this bitch out of my house and don't allow her to come in here again"
The security guards didn't dare to argue with her. Even though, they pitied Rachel, but they couldn't help her. They carried Rachel up. One holding her left arm and the other holding her right arm and the took her out of the mansion. Rachel was already weak and could not go home by herself, so they helped her get into the cab and told him her home address and the car drove off.
No one dare say anything. They went back to their post and pretended as if nothing happened.
