Chapter 371: Abortion
Grey rushed inside the room, his heart racing. The men they sent to Seattle have returned with Beatrice. Alfred informed them to drive her straight to the hospital where she was attended to immediately by Alfred's private doctor.
Alfred and the doctor were inside the room when Grey walked inside. He hesitated as he watched the oxygen mask placed on Beatrice.
"What's going to happen to her?" He asked suddenly.
Alfred and the doctor turned to look at him at once.
"Well, she’s in an unstable condition but we will carry out some tests on her and let you know what is really wrong with her. These are just first aid treatments," the doctor explained.
Grey nodded once. "Do all in your power to save her. I will pay you privately and generally."
The doctor smiled so charmingly. He already knew what Grey was. "Thank you so much, Boss. I promise to put in all my best.”
Grey nodded once and looked at Alfred. "I will speak with you later.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
"Have you spoken to Aphrodite?" Alfred’s voice pulled Grey to a sudden stop.
Grey was anxious to get home as Caramel was waiting for him. He had missed her so much that he couldn't wait to be with her again, to have her in his arms, to have her sleep in his arms. That aside, she needed to be comforted at that moment, seeing all she had passed through because of him.
"No," Grey turned to look at Alfred. "I've been so occupied. Did you?"
"See you later, Alfred,” the doctor finished off, bowed slightly at Grey, and walked out.
Alfred nodded at the doctor. “No, but I haven't called her yet actually. I will just give her a call before going home."
Grey nodded once. 'Till tomorrow then,” he finished, turned around, and walked out of the room.
He soon pulled up at his park. He hesitated in front of the door as if trying to think of something. There used to be peace and Grey had sworn to protect Caramel and Beatrice at all costs when they were in Jacksonville.
If they hadn't left, Beatrice might not have been in the position that she was. And Caramel wouldn't have been beaten. He would have ensured it.
Just thinking about it made Grey's muscle contract and he promised himself that Seth was going to suffer for what he did. He thought Giovanni was his only enemy but he had forgotten those that needed to be taught even a harder lesson.
But that wasn't even the right thought at the moment. Why did Caramel leave in the first place? Was the reason not going to resurface?
Grey eventually opened the door and walked inside.
Caramel wasn't in the living room, and the kitchen was empty as well.
There wasn't even a trace that she had been in the kitchen cooking. If she hasn't, what had she eaten?
Grey decided to see her. Perhaps he would make something nice for her.
He heard soft sobs suddenly, coming from the guest room.
Caramel and Grey had always shared a room and Grey never expected her to be anywhere aside from it. What was she doing in the guest room?
He hesitated again for the tenth time that day. He felt very sad from the depth of his heart but what could he do?
He knocked on the door briefly even though that wasn't what he wanted to do. He would like to open the door and enter immediately. But he still had to give her the privacy she wanted. Wasn't that why she was in the guest room?
"Yes, you can come in,” the voice was very soft.
Grey opened the door and walked inside. Caramel was on the bed, with his legs pulled closer to her body and her head on her knees.
"Are you alright?"
Caramel looked up slowly and Grey could see her red and swollen face. Signs that she had been crying.
"How is my mother? Is she here?” Her voice suddenly sounded unlike hers.
Grey cleared his throat meaningfully. "She will be fine. The doctor is giving her full treatment. She wouldn't lack in any area," he assured.
Caramel regarded him for a moment. ‘Thank you," she muttered and looked away.
"Have you been crying?" Grey took another step closer to her.
“Everything is just clear to me now. I mean I've been trying to find out the reason why it all happened,” she let out a sigh. "It's inevitable. There's nowhere to run, unless-," she hesitated, "unless i go to a
faraway place."
Grey raised a brow at her. ‘What are you murmuring about? Are you alright?"
Caramel looked at Grey for a moment and he saw a tear drop from her eyes. He moved closer and wiped it off. Then, he proceeded to wrap his arms around her. “Everything will be alright, I promise.”
"You still don't get it?” She whispered.
“I have to leave when my mother gets well. I have to go to a faraway place. I have to go to a place they won't even know me," she babbled.
Grey was still confused and lost. "What do you mean?"
Caramel slowly walked out of his embrace. "I told you I remember everything now. So, I remember what I was going to do before Richard stopped me and it’s why I’m going to continue doing it,” she stated in a strange voice.
Grey regarded her for a moment. "What were you planning to do before Richard kidnapped you?"
"I was going to run away. I'm tired of this life! I am!"
Grey moved closer to her. "Calm down, Caramel. You need to take a deep breath. Are you really alright?"
"No, I’m not!" She yelled as tears streamed down her face. "As I said, I'm tired. I've always wanted a normal life. But why can't I get what I wished for?"
Grey was still confused. He couldn't make out anything from Caramel’s explanation. "Can you calm down and explain everything? Because I'm kind of lost. Why are you running? What are you running away from? And what do you mean by wanting to live a normal life? Aren't you living it?"
Caramel shook her head briefly. "I'm not, Grey. You took everything from me. You are the reason why my mother is sick. You were the reason why I lost my memory. How long do I have to continue to live like that? Till I die?” She sobbed quietly.
"I want to get away from you, Grey. You have brought me a lot of pain that has overpowered the happiness you gave me. I can't continue living like this.”
“But Caramel, you can't continue running away from it and besides, if you stay here, I would be able to protect you.” "I don't have any life with you, Grey. That was why I aborted the baby."
