Mr. Bill walked into the room after parking the car. He silently stands behind Alexander and Aisha.
Linda's heart pounded in her chest as she watched Aisha and Alexander's tender interaction.
Their smiles, the way they looked at each other, it was all too much for Linda to bear. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into the soft fabric of the bed cover.
Unable to contain her rage any longer, She clenched her teeth, a mixture of pain and anger overtaking her features.
Aisha's eyes widened as she saw the envy and anger etched on Linda's face. Sensing that she is jealous Aisha smiles at her.
Linda was a constant bully of Aisha in her past life. And after Alexander becomes crippled she starts bullying Aisha even more, she blamed Aisha for Alexander's car accident. Additionally, she sees to it that Aisha is mistreated by everyone in the mansion.
Aisha's bathing video was also posted online by Linda. And Aisha has to endure a great deal of humiliation for this. Linda tormented her in every way, and now she is currently confined to her bed. It is impossible for Aisha not to smile.
Aisha let go of Alexander's hand and with a faint smile, she gently reached out and rested her hand on Linda's trembling shoulders. "Linda right," she said softly, her voice filled with warmth and understanding. "I understand how you are feeling right now, but let me know if there is anything I can do for you. My husband is concerned about his servants, and it is now my responsibility to care for them. And my mother used to tell me that servants are parts of our family, We need to love them and treat them as one of us. Thus, if there is anything I can do to help, just let me know.
Aisha found Linda's jealousy offensive. So Linda could listen to her warning and behave according to her place or else Aisha will make her regret choosing her rival as a rival.
But Linda's anger intensified as she interpreted Aisha's smile as an act of ridicule. How dare she act so understanding? Linda thought bitterly. She would pay for stealing Alexander's attention away from her.
In a fit of rage, Linda forcefully pushed Aisha's hand away. "Don't worry Miss Aisha" she softly said, but Aisha could feel her voice laced with venom.
Everything has been taken from me by you. Alexander was mine, and now you think you can just replace me? I refuse to allow you, though.
Linda's eyes filled with tears as she said, "My leg hurts." The pain in her leg seemed to intensify, mirroring the anguish she felt inside.
Alexander, who had been watching the scene unfold in silence. He walked over to Aisha, took her hand, and settled her onto the couch.
A young nurse came to check on Linda and to find out how she was feeling. When she saw Linda is crying she took a step forward, both shocked and saddened by Linda's outburst.
Aisha felt the nurse was familiar. She observed the nurse when she saw the nurse's name was Lisa in the name pin on that nurse's chest. Aisha's eyes flash with coldness and bloodlust, as she clenches her fist she feels pain and recalls her promise to Alexander. She inhaled deeply as she gazed at her fist and saw that the previous wound had not healed.
Concern filled in nurse Lisa's eyes as she saw Linda's distress. "Linda, please calm down," she urged gently. "If you panic this way your pain might get worse, you will be fine so just breathe I am calling Doctor Jessore so it will be fine."
Nurse Lisa was Linda's friend, she knew Linda loved Alexander. She knows Linda's predicament has gotten worse because of Aisha's provocations.
Lisa shot a fierce glance at Aisha, filled with disgust. Aisha smiled at Lisa softly, Lisa turned away in disbelief how could Sir marry a prostitute like her? Lisa leaves the room quietly as if it was hard for her to breathe the same air as Aisha.
After a while, Doctor Jessore, a middle-aged man with salt-and-pepper hair, rushed into the patient's room with a sense of urgency. There were a couple of nurses next to him.
Aisha notices a young nurse who is standing behind other nurses while downing her head. Aisha smirks as she finds her pawn.
Doctor Jessore's eyes filled with concern. The sterile atmosphere buzzed with the harmony of beeping machines and hushed voices. As they enter the room Doctor Jessore caught sight of Alexander.
Alexander was the owner of the hospital. Doctor Jessore dashes into the room upon learning of Alexander's arrival from Lisa.
"Sir, please come with me to my office this room is small for you." Doctor Jessore exclaimed breathlessly.
"..."
"Ugh!" Linda makes another groan.
Doctor Jessore paused for a moment, observing Linda's discomfort on the hospital bed. As his experienced gaze met the nurse's, a silent understanding passed between them. It was clear that Linda needed immediate relief from her pain, and a painkiller injection was the most effective solution at that moment.
With a nod from Doctor Jessore, the nurse swiftly moved into action. She approached the medication cabinet, retrieving the necessary painkiller vial and a sterile syringe.
Once the injection was complete, the nurse stayed by Linda's side for a few additional minutes, monitoring her vital signs and gauging her response to the painkiller. Seeing Linda begin to relax and experience relief.
After that, the nurse left Linda's bedside and stood behind Doctor Jessore.
"Linda has been involved in a severe accident, and her leg appears to be broken." Doctor Jessore's eyes widened with a flicker of worry as he turned his attention toward the bed. Linda, a vibrant young woman in her twenties, lay pale-faced. The room smelled strongly of antiseptic, which blended in with the prevailing tension.
"Doctor Jessore, how many days will it take for her to heal completely?" A note of worry came into Bill's voice as he asked.
"The impact was substantial, causing a severe fracture in her right leg. It's a complicated case, but we'll do everything within our power to mend her injury," Doctor Jessore explained, his voice tinged with determination.
"....."
Doctor Jessore continued again, "We had already stabilized the fracture, but she will require surgery to repair the damage. I'm scheduling her for an operation tomorrow, and we'll do our best to get Linda back on her feet as soon as possible."
Alexander's face was etched with coldness.
"Thank you, Doctor Jessore," says Bill with a nod of his head. "Please keep me informed of her progress and thank you for your hard work, Doctor."
"I will, Sir," Doctor Jessore replied earnestly to Bill. "Rest assured, we will do everything we can to help Linda heal."
Bill looks at his watch "Sir, it is time for us to head home. You have a few important files to complete and a meeting will start in a few minutes."
Alexander walks toward Aisha, after Aisha stands up from the couch he holds her hand gently.
When the three of them are about to leave the room Linda calls out "Mr. Bill."
"Yes, Miss Linda, how can I help you?"
"Please keep this accident from being disclosed to my family. If they find out, they will be concerned about me.
Bill responded, "All right, I will follow your instructions."
After pausing briefly, Linda turned to face Alexander and said, "Sir, I know this will be too much for me to say. But I want you and Mr. Bill to be safe." Tears filled Linda's eyes as she spoke.
"........"
Alexander and Bill both remain silent.
Doctor Jessore pats Linda's head, "What makes you so scared child?"
Linda shook her head then paused for a moment, "The car I drove didn't hit the tree first, the car was hit by a truck out of nowhere. As if the truck was anticipating the arrival of the car," she concluded, looking up at Aisha.
