Mel woke up,she found herself in a hospital,she looked at the time in the ward room,it was 12 am. Soon she heard the door opening and closing,a man in white clothing that smelled of medicines came in.
"Oh,miss Melanie archer, you're awake,thank goodness I am sure you are feeling weak,you have to eat also,and don't worry about medical bills,Mr Fordham paid the bills,make time to thank him, and he brought food too."
Melanie was sick of hearing what the doctor has to say "Enough! Make sure you return their money,I don't want the food,take it away, how much is the bill? I'll pay",she signed a cheque.
" At least eat the.." the doctor continued
Mel stared daggers at the doctor,God if looks can kill!
"You might end up blacking out because of your stubbornness"the doctor tried persuading her. He wasn't a bad person,he was just trying to help her,Mel just got down from the hospital bed,took off the needle inserted in her veins and set to leave. Of cause, the doctor returned Ethan's money. Few drops of blood pour out from her hands because the vein wasn't closed yet.
Mel got to her house. News had reached everywhere that ex Mrs Fordham attempted stealing.
That was it, she's going to leave the city. If she left, people would say she finally accepted it and ran away to hide,if she stayed they'd Bully her and do things that would make her leave.
Mel made sure to meet all her assisting ceo's,she had left in charge of her companies,of cause her employees didn't believe Mel would do such a thing,even though she was leaving didn't mean she would abandon her wealth,this shrewd lady that like the sound of money,after everything was settled,she left for dutch, thankfully that Ethan scandal didn't get to her company.
It was already 8pm when Melanie arrived at Dutch,she dragged along with her 3 traveling bags, riding them down to the airport exit.
A man with neutral aura sighed while sitting in a rolls Royce,he was supposed to pick someone up by 7:30 pm,but was too busy with work and ended up coming by 7:59pm.
"Boss,I'm sure your sister is already home" Lucas his chauffeur, assured his already tired and worried boss.
His boss received a phone call with the caller id showing "Nana" on the phone screen,the man dimmed his eyes before answering it, immediately an old angry voice was heard " where are you young man? What were you thinking?! Naina had to call sato to come pick her up! I just gave you a simple task,pick your sister at the airport by 6:30 along with flowers,hmph!" The old woman hung up and the man turned to his chauffeur.
"Sir.. I thought it was 7:30"Lucas gulped down nothing in particular,the man stared daggers at him,and asked him to drive.
Meanwhile a certain someone was trying to carry her heavy bags,but was too fragile,not strong enough,her palms reddened as she has been dragging them with her. It was already late and there was no taxi,it started to rain and she cursed at the clouds and immediately did a cross sign (the name of the father and son and of the holy spirit)asking God for forgiveness for her cursing at the clouds he created.
Mel used her phone to check her location and found out the closest hotel was really far away from her,she had almost given up but had to try. It was December,the cold was threatening and heightening at a faster rate, everyone was indoors,she tried trekking faster because robbers might be lurking around and it was getting darker!.
She wished that intimidating voice that was telling her to run could encourage her to start running again. That day she ran because of the pressure, the constant stares,the voice that played in her mind, everything was suffocating,worst case those two showed up.
"Shoo shoo shoo!" Mel Shaked her head panting vigorously,she wanted to forget the past. 'i'm here for a new start' she said to herself. "Whoo!!" As she made that sound,cold breath came out of her mouth,she gasped for breath as she continued trekking further. If she said she wasn't scared,she was a big liar. Using taxi would take her 2 hours to get to her hotel, well the destined hotel.
It was already 12:05 am she didn't know how she survived,if Melanie knew how strong she was,she wouldn't believe all those things people said to her.
