Chapter 78


    Chapter 78 Chapter Seventy Eight.


    SYDNEY’S POV


    “Wow!” I finally let out and dragged my gaze away from my phone.


    I just got a call from the police department. They have Be in their custody for murdering Isaac.


    These past weeks, a lot had been happening, From Doris to Mark to the trivial matters had to deal


    with either at work or at the hospital where Mark was admitted. There was just a whole lot and I had


    been going through them like I was programmed to do them so I had just sat frozen when I heard


    the news, unable to process what the police officer had said.


    Now that I think about it, the oflicer’s words reyed in my head, I wondered why I was the one


    they called. What about our parents?


    To my amazement, the news didn’t surprise me like it should, probably the reason why it took so


    long before I could react. I really don’t think anything can surprise me anymore.


    Though, within myself, to be honest, I salute Be. It must have taken a lot of guts and grit to do


    what she did. Even though she tended to be violent, bitter and sharp m*uthed. Murder wasn’t an


    option I would ever assume that she would resort to but then… Isaac gave her lots of reasons to


    resort to her actions.


    She finally recognized and identified the cause of all of her miseries. If everything she told me about


    her time in the country where she eloped to with Isaac was true then he deserved the ending he


    got. Though, to the public and security agents, her action was uneptable and punishable by the


    law. The least I can do for her, because she doesn’t deserve to rot in jail for taking care of her


    problem, was to get her awyer that would take her case seriously instead of the one that the


    government would provide.


    I brought up my phone and called mywyer.


    “Hello, Miss Sydney.”


    As soon as he picked up, I exined everything to him. And as you already know it, the pay


    wouldn’t be an issue,” I added as an afterthought, “Do whatever you need to do to help her.”


    I understand, ma’am.”


    I nodded. “Thank you.”


    The call ended.


    While I spoke with mywyer, he quickly asked me some questions and they triggered something


    my memory of Mark’s ident.


    I frowned as I remembered that scene, it reyed in my head. How that car that seemed to have


    lost control headed toward Mark’s reversing ear with full speed and the crash that put all the lives of


    the people involved at risk as they awaited their fates on each of their hospital beds..


    I slowly sat up, all the lives of the people involved….” that face reyed in my head like a broken


    record tape. Was it really everyone involved?


    I was fully in detective mode as I reached for a pen and a notepad and jotted down some things that


    seemed unusual and amiss. Could the ident have been a conspiracy? A perfectly marked out


    n to get rid of Mark.


    But why on his wedding day? Does Sandra, perhaps, have a deranged past lover who still wanted


    her? Could it be one of the few oppositions of Sandra’s father?


    Or they just wanted Mark out of the picture, regardless of whether he marries or not, they just want


    Mark gone. In this case, it could be anyone. Anyone from GT group, anyone who knew he was


    leaving for the wedding venue when he did.


    I didn’t think too much about leaving work to head to the hospital, I just grabbed my keys and


    rushed out. I met Grace on my way and she raised her brows as she watched me stalk down the


    hallway..

    “What’s got you all strung up?”


    I didn’t feel like I should share my unbacked theories yet so I just waved my hands in the air. “It’s


    nothing. I’d be right back.”


    I think she said something else but I didn’t hear her as I was always already in the elevator.


    At the hospital, the two security stationed there, managed a tight–l*pped smile at me. “Wee,


    ma’am.


    “How are you doing?” I smiled brightly at them, hoping my bright demeanor will make them look less


    tired as they look now.


    “We’re doing good,” one of them answered for the both of them while the other just smiled. Sure,


    they answered brightly but they still looked fatigued.


    I tatted as I went to see Mark. If there was ever a major threat, I doubt these ones will be able to


    protect Mark for long-


    “Wee, ma’am Sydney, the caregiver was taking care of Mark. She looked like she was giving


    him a bed bath as his upper b*dy was b*reand damp.


    “Hey. How’re you?”


    The caregiver was actually a nice youngdy, she had just been really pissed that she was


    abandoned with the person she was caring for.


    “I’m fine,” she shrugged and shed me a smile.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    I smiled back. “I’ll be right back.” I told her and left the room for the doctor’s office.


    On my way, I contacted the securitypany and hired a whole professional team of about a


    dozen men. If truly my instincts were right, then Mark needed a tight security system. I tucked my


    phone away and proceeded to the doctor’s office.


    “Hey, Miss Sydney,” the doctor beamed as he watched me enter his office.


    “Have youe to ask about your pa-”


    “No no,” I shook my head. It had be a habit for me to also pay the doctor a visit whenever I


    came to von Mark. I would ask the doctor how he was fairing and when he might wake–up but


    his tone will always be somber as he replied to me.


    I took a seat across from him, “I’m here to ask about the other patients.”


    He paused then nodded. “What is it?”


    “Apart from Mark and the two other people that were in his car, was there any other patient that was


    rushed here that night?”


    He frowned as he shook his head. “Is there supposed to be someone else?”


    “I don’t know. It’s why I’m here. A car rammed Mark’s car then rammed into a pole after it lost


    control, I want to see the driver that drove that car.”


    “Oh. The paramedics that drove to the scene that day reported that there was no one in the other


    car by the time they got there.”


    “What?” I frowned. Howe? I was sure I saw the silhouette of someone struggling with the


    steering wheel that day.


    The doctor shrugged. “That’s what I heard. You can contact the police department that responded to


    the ident scene if you need more details.”


    “Alright,” I nodded. “Thank you.” I told him, then out of habit, I asked about Mark again. The doctor


    assured me that, even though Mark didn’t look like it, he was actually responding to


    treatment.


    By the time I was back to Mark’s ward, the hallway was lined with hefty men, the name of the


    securitypany was emzoned on their t–shirts, bulletproof and facecaps.


    “Wow, that was fast,” I raised my brows.


    There were three new men before his door. They stood there like a wall and looked down at me.


    “Umm, I need to get in.”

    “Identify yourself.”


    I rolled my eyes, “I hired you guys,” I said as I opened my phone and showed them the code the


    company had sent to me..


    Two of them looked at the code and nodded to the rest, then they moved aside.


    There were also two men in the hospital room. I nodded again at the efficiency of the security


    company. They nodded at me and continued to stare at the wall.


    I walked closer to Mark’s bed. The caregiver was gone. Mark looked pale and frail as heid there


    in the hospital bed, his ch*st rose and fell softly as he slept. He seemed to have lost weight in the


    last week’s that he had been confined to the bed; his cheeks were a bit hollowed, and his eyes.


    were sunken but he still looked good looking.


    I sighed at his still frame. I really do hope the doctor was right. It will really be a shame if Mark dies.


    Plus I wasn’t even ready to deal with the chaos that his death will bring to GT Group and the


    media.


    I dug my hands in my pants pocket and sighed again. “You’d better wake up soon. The security.


    team is costing a lot every day, so are the hospital bills. The longer you snore away, the more you


    owe. Yes, I’m not doing all these for free, you’ll have to pay me back for my time and everything as


    soon as you wake up.”


    I felt a twinge of disappointment when I didn’t hear his trademark snarky response. I sighed. What


    was I thinking? That he would suddenly leap from the bed and give me a response? With onest


    look at his motionless face and a silent prayer that he gets well soon, I turned to leave.


    I let out a yelp when I felt fingers wrap around my wrist. With my heart in my throat I turned to see


    Mark’s eyes on me. And no,he didn’t look like a ghost.


    I closed my eyes and steadied my heartbeat. “What the hell, Mark?” I erupted when I opened my


    eyes.


    One of the men was already by my side. “Are you okay, ma’am?”


    I nodded. “Leave us for now.”


    Mark’s eyes followed the men until the door was shut close behind them, then they settled on


    1. me.


    “Mark?” Mark muttered slowly as if he was hearing and saying the name for the first time. His


    puzzled gaze raked up and down my b*dy. “Who are you?”


    My heart sank for the obvious reason. I bent down till I was looking closely into his eyes. He drew


    back, ced a finger on my forehead and pushed my head back.


    “Typical.


    “I asked you a question, why are you staring at me like a creep?”


    “You’ve lost your memory?” I shook my head, “Tell me you know who I am and this is a trick.”


    He looked at me with furrowed brows. “I don’t remember anything, woman. Tell me, who are you,


    and who am I?”

    It was the wrong time for pranks or jokes but I smirked and said, “I’m your mom, and you’re my


    son.
