Chapter 7- Tutorial 5
֎Maria's POV ֎
Alighting from the plane with her husband, their plan was to come see Zosia and see how the baby is doing, only to be met with shocking news.
First, the company her husband had worked for years had been lost by their son to his step-brother son.
"Those conniving bastards" she cursed under her breath.
"Calm down babe, we would know all our answers soon" he patted his wife to reassure not only her but himself as well.
"Try calling Kris, I would call others to know what is going on."
She nodded at her husband's suggestion.
"Kyle has been calling me. Someone is wrong. Is Kris okay?" Her worry spiked up.
"Calm down babe, let me call him, let's find out what happened"
After the call, her pallor was poorer than before.
The call was put on loudspeaker, so she heard everything. Her husband's face was also dark.
They quickly arrived at her son's place.
Looking at him made her forget her worry. Filled with anger, she slapped her son. She had never laid her hand on him but she understood the pain Zosia must have gone through.
Her husband did not want her to do anything more drastic and led her out.
"Bohoo, Babe I regret it.
If I had followed his wishes and not married her to him, would she still be alive?" Her voice choked as she embraced her husband.
"Why couldn't he just understand. Boohoo, why does he have to like that Eva so much. Now, she is the cause of his downfall. What exactly did he see in her." She vented out her anger.
Raymond also concurred with his wife's words. His dislike for Eva turned to hatred, as for that pesky nephew of hIs, he knew how he would deal with them.
"Let's ask Kyle about her body or ashes, anyone that is available. Poor child." He patted his wife as he made his suggestion.
"Owkay." She wiped her teary eyes.
They both arrived at the hospital quickly. After getting the ward Kyle was at, they entered.
"Kyle, how are you feeling?" Kyle was very surprised at their entrance. He had sent both Drew and Cain away, once he was done with everything, he would continue with their next plan.
He was aware that Kyle's parents were going to come back today, a pity he couldn't get their help to rescue Zosia. Well, it might be even better.
"Is Zosia alive?" Raymond's question brought Kyle out of his reverie.
His eyes widened subconsciously and he let the cat out of the bag.
"How do you know?"
Raymond raised his eyebrow at the question thrown back to him by Kyle.
His grin widened.
Maria suddenly laughed with tears in her eyes.
The scene looked so comical, a grinning man, a surprised man and a woman caught between tears and laughter.
"Baby, she is alive, then that means my grandson is also alive. Tell me where is she? What are you all planning?" She threw a series of questions at Kyle.
Kyle but his lips and kept mute. He had already let the cat out of the bag, he is grateful to Kris parents, if not for them, he wouldn't have found his mom and sister in the first place, let alone getting treatment for his sister.
"Kyle please tell me, I already got Prof. Winston to attend to your sister. " Maria said as she sat beside Kyle with her husband behind her.
Raymond also nodded his head as a sign of agreement.
'Well, she only said I shouldn't let Kris know right. It's not impossible not to tell them' he thought as he stared at Maria whose eyes were already so red.
"If I tell you, you must not tell anybody, especially Kris?"
Maria already had her regrets of pushing the two of them together, why would she tell her son again.
"You don't need to worry about that brat, just tell us"
Kyle explained everything, including their plan, how it went awry and how they involved Ryan.
"So how is she now? Have you heard from her?" Raymond hadn't said anything since but decided to chip in since his wife was still reeling herself from the absurd situation.
Maria thought to herself, 'if I were in my daughter-in-law shoes, even if I struggled, I don't think I can be as victorious as Zosia.
She recognized Zosia strength and will.
Hearing her husband question, she came back to reality. She was also curious about her well-being.
"First, how did you know she is still alive?" Kyle asked his own question.
Raymond looked at him and smiled, his luscious dark hair illuminated by the sunlight made it appear shiny. Even as a middle aged man, he still looked so handsome.
"While on our way here, we called those at the scene, tried to get as many clues or anything we could gather. From the background, I heard they could not find anybody and have been digging since. So my thought when I came in was to throw that question at you, to which your reaction gave you away."
"I thought I did a clean job. Since, you are able to find out this way, won't Kris also be able to find out?"
"Don't worry about that, I have asked someone to deal with it."
Kyle eyed them suspiciously but nevertheless still dropped his guard.
"Well, you can call her and ask." He used his teeth to tug at the watch on his hand.
"Kyle, what are you doing?' Being reprimanded out of the blue made him remember that they were not aware of what the watch can do.
"You can contact her with the watch. It's like a satellite watch, able to bypass signal jammers and places without any network." His words caused Maria and Raymond to look at him in surprise.
" Help me get it off" His call for help immediately brought them out from the land of wonder. Raymond immediately helped him.
"Now you can call her." He also wanted to know how she was doing.
