LOOKING OUT FOR….

Esmeralda laughed out, and Linda smiled, her sister is finally laughing after what happened. But their laughter was a short lasted one…

"If I were to be the best, he won't have left me!" Esmeralda and Linda heard their aunt whisper. They both feel terrible after what she said, how can they make her sad with her condition? They are the worst nieces there is.

"Aunt, don't be like, we didn't mean to make you upset!" Esmeralda pleads with her aunt after seeing how what Linda and she said affected her. The doctor told them to keep her away from stress but Linda and she did the opposite.

"Don't worry dear, because I know you both didn't mean to upset me at all… so you can both relax, it's life and we move on," Vanessa assured her nieces she is alright and not feel bad because she is over her past.

"That's why you should not worry yourself too much because you will forget that jerk one day," Vanessa encourages her niece, just like she did, her niece can also move on from what happened.

Esmeralda moves closer to her aunt and snuggles in her arms, "Aunt, thank you so much for being here with me,"

Vanessa stroke Esmeralda's hair, "No need to thank me, Esme, because I will always be here for you," she assured her niece.

Linda who has been watching the two of them pout, how can they forget all about her over here?

"What about me?" they both suddenly heard Linda ask with an angry face.

Vanessa and Esmeralda turn to Linda, and they both burst into a sound of laughter, she looks so cute with her current expression. Unlike typical Linda, "Oh! My poor baby…. Come here, and snuggle too," Vanessa calls Linda to join them. Both Esmeralda and Vanessa entered their worlds and forgot about Linda and she is not pleased with it right now.

"But you are still weak, aunt." Linda comments.

"Don't worry about me Linda, because am the strongest person in this world… which means I can handle you both."

Linda and Esmeralda laugh, their aunt is too cool.

"Alright, but don't break okay?"

"What!''

"Yea, because I don't want Dad to send us to prison… if something happens to you!"

"What did you just say?"

"She is just kidding aunt." Esmeralda smacks Linda's head.

"No am not!"

"Hmm, is that so?"

"Yes, because Robert Fernandez is not a good one when you angered him at all."

Robert Fernandez at the door "…"

Is he that bad when he is angry? They have to talk about this later…

He hates to disturb them right now but Patrick and Elias are leaving, Elias told them he and Esmeralda are both done talking about what happened and decided on what to do already.

But the young man refused to tell him what they have decided on, he will talk to Esmeralda later when they are gone. Patrick wants to see Esmeralda before he leaves that's why he is here to get her. But she and Linda are having fun spending some quality time with his sister and he doesn't want to disturb them but he has to.

Damn it! He feels like an intruder right now. Does he have to disrupt this moment for them? He exhales, and opens the door slowly, "How are you doing?''

"Dad, we are fine… what brings you here?" Linda replies and asked.

She wasn't there to support him after what happened with the Watson boy. "….Am feeling much better now Robert."

"Am glad you are fine now Vanessa!" Robert smile back at his sister and said.

He looked over to Esmeralda, "Esme, Patrick is leaving but wants to talk to you first.''

Linda sarcastically laugh, "He wants to talk to Sis, Dad, but Esme and Elias are done talking already! Why doesn't Uncle Patrick carry that cheater son of his and get out of here."

Robert sigh, now everybody in this house hates the Watson family, but they all have nothing to do with what Elias did. "Dear, stop blaming Elias's action on the entire family because even they are upset with what he did."

Robert made sure to rebuke Linda because Patrick and Ivy both have nothing to do with what their son did.

Linda sank deeply, today she is been rebuked only because of that Elias, she will make sure he knows no peace! He was the one that cheated but she is the one getting rebuked. Besides, if his mother had raised him well then he wouldn't have done what he did.

"Let's go dear!" Robert said to Esmeralda, he was about to turn and leave the room with her when he saw how sour Linda's face is. He knew he rebuke her earlier, but he was telling the truth. He knows she was only speaking out for her sister, "Linda, I know you were only speaking out for your sister, but don't blame Elias's action upon his parents."

"Yes, Dad, I know you were only looking out for your friend" she look over to her sister, "So go and meet Uncle PATRICK okay?" she said and close the door with a loud bang.

Vanessa shakes her head at Linda's actions, the girl constantly keeps reminding her of her young self. Linda is just like how she used to be back in the day. Stubborn, irrational, and always getting her way!

Robert who saw his sister's reaction to Linda's behavior, smiles, he very well knows what his sister is thinking right now, she used to be like this too back in the days. Even worst than Linda. "Let's go… I will speak to your sister later." He said to Esmeralda.

"Robert, don't be mad at her…she is just a child who is worried about her sister," they heard Vanessa's voice as they are about to leave the room.

"I know… nurse; make sure you don't leave her alone." He instructed Vanessa's nurse.

"Yes, Sir…"

"We will be back Vanessa."

"Hmmm"

They both closed the door behind them and leave Vanessa in the care of her nurse.

"You can leave me alone after some time… because I want to be alone."

"…Alright ma'am," The nurse replied with a head nod and a smile to the order she received.

*****

"Esme, let's talk about how your conversation with Elias went later hmm?" Robert said to his daughter.

"Of course dad," Esmeralda replies to her father. She is sure going to tell him all about how her talk with Elias went.
