"Hello miss Rachel" the voice from the other side of the call spoke, "Hello Peter, please call me Rachel" she sat on the bed she was beyond exhausted.
"I'm out your house, I was hoping you could have lunch with me?" She panicked, first she was shocked on how he found her house, she had never told him where she stayed but that really doesn't matter now, she didn't want to tell him she was at Zech's house she saw the tension between them last time, "miss uh Rachel are you listening to me" she was snapped from her world of thoughts.
"oh yeah yeah uhh I am exhausted now can we leave it till dinner?" "Well that okay then" he sounded a little disappointed "just send me the address and time I'll meet you up" she cut the call to avoid further discussion.
"Whew that was close" she stood up lazily and dragged her body, she had to arrange her stuff so she started sorting them out when she was done what was left was only her perfume making materials.
She doesn't know where to keep them. After a few minutes of contemplating, she decided to leave them in the box and talk with Vin on where to put them. They were very important to her.
She stood up walking towards the door but was struck with a severe pain in her chest that made her scream and fall to the ground holding her chest and struggling to breath.
On hearing the shout from her room Vin immediately rushed in with other maids and saw her on the ground, he rushed to her and lifted her putting her head on his lap, "Rache… Rachel what's wrong Rachel please answer me" he turned to the head maid "Call the doctor now" she shouted she rushed and left the room immediately.
He held her close and continued calling her name but she didn't respond to him. He was in a state of panic. He was damn scared he didn't know what to do, Rachel was groaning in pain as she held her chest tight struggling to breath before she passed out due to the excessive pain she felt.
Finally the doctor was her. He lifted her in a bridal style and laid her on the bed. The doctor immediately rushed to attend to her, he checked her eyes but her pupil was gone her eyes were all white then he checked her pulse, he shook his head.
"Doctor what's wrong with her?" Vin asked with fear clouding his voice.
"I can't tell this.. This is strange. I have never seen anything like this in my entire 40 years of being a doctor" he adjusted his glasses and opened his box. He brought out pain relief medicine. "So you mean you don't know what wrong with her?" He turned and faced Vin "here for the pain if she waked up'' Vin grabbed a handful of his hair he was pacing around " doctor you have to do something, Mr Zech is going to have our heads if anything happens to her in his absence" the maid were very surprised at the new Vin they were staring at he had never lost his cool never, he was always so calm and collected he never lost his cool, this was a first they were all stunned. The doctor walked towards Vin and patted his shoulder "I'll do some more research when I head back and get back to you, for now take this incase she feels pain when she wakes up okay" he tapped him again "so when do you think she would wake up" he eyes were pleading with the doctor for a little hope "I'm sorry but I honestly can't tell it depends on her'' he patted his shoulder one last time and left.
Vin rushed to her side and touched her forehead she was now burning up and wincing her her sleep, he was not comfortable seeing her this way "get me a towel and a bowl of cold water" the maids rushed to get to done they were back in less than 2 minutes, they didn't want to experience this side of him so they did it hastily and left him alone in her room.
"Rachel… Please wake up" he held her hand and then he took the towel and soaked it in the cold water and started leaning her forehead and her face. He did that for 3 hours straight before her temperature returned to its original state.
He had tried calling Zech in the past three hours but it wasn't connecting. He had a very bad feeling in the pit. If his stomach was feeling uneasy, he couldn't leave Rachel in this state unattended.
It was already midnight when Rachel finally opened her eyes she saw Vin sleeping on a chair close to her. She slowly sat up not to wake him, his eyes opened immediately at the slightest movement, "you're awake, are you okay, do you feel any pain are you uncomfortable anyway?" He bombarded her with questions "should I get the doctor to check you" Rachel smiled weakly and took his hand on hers "I'm fine Vin I promise" he finally breathed in relief, she was beyond touched, nobody had ever taken care of her this way apart from her dead mother, a lone tear fell from her eyes "are you okay? Why are you crying?" He asked with a concerned look.
She smiled "thank you Vin" he wiped the tear from her eyes, "please don't cry okay" she nodded her head at him "are you hungry" she nodded again for the second time, then he stood up and headed towards the door but he was stopped by what she said "Thanks Big brother" he turned and stared at her before leaving, he came back after a few minutes with light food.
"Here drink this, I'll make you feel better" he handed her a glass containing lemon color liquid, she drank it and her face squeezed and she frowned "uhh it's so bitter" he brought out a candy bar from his pocket "here take this I'll help".
She smiled and immediately put the candy in her mouth savoring the taste, "okay Vin go on ask, you eyes have asked me over a hundred questions now" she said mockingly.
The shocked expression on his face made Rachel burst into laughter, before he finally composed himself and asked.
"What happened to you?" He was beyond curious. He wanted to know why he found her lying on the ground in pain, if it was related to something.
"I can't tell, I was coming to see you one second the next I was on the ground with a severe pain on my chest, it felt like I was being pricked by a thousand needles, I don't remember anything else.
He was now even more confused as to what caused her to be in such a state, a maid rushed into the room with a grave look on her face, "what didn't you knock?" He asks with a cold voice, the Maud shivered in fear "Mr Vin it's… I'm so sorry but it's really urgent" Rachel pats his shoulder "it's okay" she turned to the lady "speak what is urgent " she smiled at her "Mr Zech was... waas involved in an accident
