I was very scared and confused but I tried to reach for his medicine to give him to drink. I easily positioned him before reaching for his pill.
"Please open your mouth sir." Scared but I still ordered him.
After he yawned and swallowed the medicine, he closed his eyes, and because I wasn't satisfied that the medicine would help him, I decided to call an ambulance.
"What are you doing?" Even though he was weak, he still managed to sneeze after noticing that I reached for my cell phone from my pocket.
"Ah, I was going to call an ambulance sir, we'll be surer when the doctors take a look at you." I answered with concern.
He pulled one of my hands before speaking again. "Don't lead me on, wait ten minutes and I'll be fine. Don't ever take me to the hospital because I won't like it."
Because of his scary look, I just nodded in obedience, I was nervous because after he told me, he closed his eyes again and didn't move. "Sir?" I patted him but he seemed to have lost consciousness. After a few moments, his personal driver approached us and smiled.
"Don't worry, Madeline… Our boss will wake up in a few minutes from now. Here I will help you to bring him to his bedroom.
I felt relieved upon hearing, the driver assured me. At that time, I agreed with him and allowed him to pick up the boss sir Elu and bring him to his bed.
After we took him to his bed and made sure that everything was set, we finally stepped back and left him there. Add the whole way on our way to the living room, the driver, Mr. Gab spoke again.
"Sir Elu is really like that, not often but sometimes he is attacked by a severe pain that he feels, all you have to do is get his medicine and help him drink. Do not be afraid and worry because after a few minutes he will recover immediately. He really hates being taken to the hospital so don't try because he won't like it."
I nodded to Gab, at least he explained to me the condition of our boss and next time I know what to do. I don't know what exactly Sir Elu's illness is, but I think it's really bad, just based on his expression earlier that he was writhing in so much pain. In a few minutes of his attack, I felt sorry for him and forgot his rudeness. Just imagining the pain that he is going through makes me shudder in fear.
In my mind, maybe I should be thankful for my situation because I am hiding from the man who will marry me while Sir Elu is fighting to recover from his horrible disease.
After a few more silence, Gab spoke with me again which took my attention back. "Don't worry, Madeline, everything will be fine. Just do whatever the boss wants you to do, and you will be in good shape."
"Yes, that's right Gab. Thank you for reminding me and helping me out here." I smiled at him before I finally gestured to him that I was getting inside my bedroom. He nodded before he walked past me and went straight to the living room.
As soon as I was inside my room, I locked it and took the mobile phone from my pocket and started searching about my family. Honestly, I don't care what is happening to my father. I mean my parents, but I care a lot about my sister. What if she was taken by the Morrison family in exchange for me?
What if she's being locked up in the same room where I escape from? Just thinking about it. I shuddered in fear again. Fear that my sister won't be able to handle that kind of situation. She is really a weak hearted woman, and I can attest to that.
I tried to dial her mobile number, but it was only really, she's answering, which worried me more. Because in a few minutes I will have to go check on Sir Elu, I sent my sister a short text message asking her to send me a message as well if she is doing fine.
My salary from Mr. Elu is huge enough for me to help my sister escape from our parents. If she lets me, I will send her to the Philippines as I agreed with Celestine. Celestine told me that there are really good and awesome universities back in her country and she assured me that my sister will surely have a good school there. Based on how she calculated tuition fees and cost of living, I am sure that only half of my salary is enough to aid my sister's needs.
I will work here until Celestine comes back and earn enough money to use to follow my sister in the Philippines and live there. I don't know what kind of business is possible there, but according to Celestine, there are a lot of opportunities in the Philippines, not to mention doing online business.
After I sent the text message to my sister, I stood up and went straight to my employer's room. I do not want to offend him if he wakes up without me beside him. One of our contract agreements is for me to be there 24/7, that is the reason why I am being paid a lot of money- 24/7 caregiver.
For others it seems very impossible to be a caregiver 24/7 but me, I promised myself that I can handle it just to save enough money for my plan to leave this country. It's not bad because Sir Elu said that while he sleeps, I can also sleep, and I think that he seems to be doing only sleep in this life when he feels pain.
When I entered his room, I stopped at the door, I was very nervous because he was already awake, and his eyes were wide open looking at me. I quickly calmed myself down before speaking softly. "How are you feeling, sir? I'm sorry that you didn't wake me up next to you because I used the bathroom."
