Chapter 32: 'The same one? '

Leni's heart was paining for Mia who was caring for a man who never gave a minute for her.

Her anger rose as she turned towards Hugo.

"One day I will see that boss of yours begging Mia...I'm hating him to the core.", Leni spoke as she carried Jake.

"Sis Leni boss is...", Before Rio could say anything.

"Shut that mouth of yours, you are no better.", Leni spoke as she walked into the room.

She saw a pale girl who is holding Aelx's hand in one hand and her other hand was continuously wiping the sweat on his face.

"You are too naive Young Madam...", Leni spoke as her heart pained for her.

"Sis Leni...I was 19 years that day seeing him on the operation table along with Den and still struggling to not let anyone touch him and if they did cruelly fighting them. This man was restless and alert even at the moment he was losing rationality then I felt helpless and dumbfounded...When I saw he was about to hit Uncle Gary, I Quickly held his hand...like magic, he seemed to relax and we could treat him.", Mia spoke as Leni saw her helplessly.

"Are you foolish? Do you not understand what I am asking you?", Leni wanted to hit some selfishness in her so Mia would leave this heartless man.

"Sis Leni...To me, he is all. At my most vulnerable state, he was there...If it means I have to take some pain to repay him, I am gladly willing to.", Mia spoke as she saw a slight frown on Alex's face.

She quickly let go of his hand and stood up. Signaling Leni she walked out in a hurry. The moment she walked out.

"He is regaining his consciousness.", Mia spoke as she walked back into kitchen downstairs.

Hugo and Rio entered the room.

Alex slowly tried to raise as he saw Leni staring at him with Jack in her hand. That's when he saw Rio and Hugo walk in.

His frown deepened...to the point he seem to remember something.

"Wh...Who...Who tr...treat....treated m..me?", His voice had cracked as he tried to adjust his voice.

Rio, Hugo, and Leni did not utter a word. Alex started at Rio, he was the same as he was 3 years ago.

3 years back...

Alex gained consciousness. He was resting his eyes as he saw Rio entering the room after a phone call.

"Rio who treated me?", Alex asked.

He didn't speak. Alex saw his head was bent down and he was clearly implying that he isn't gonna spit anything.

"Alright tell me who sent that person?", Alex asked again.

Rio still didn't speak.

"Get me a glass of water.", Alex calmly spoke.

Present.

Alex adjusted himself and saw the silent trio.

"Walk out of the room, I wanna be alone.", Alex spoke as he closed his eyes.

"Dr.Den is alright and will gain consciousness in a few hours.", Rio spoke.

"Can't you hear me? Walk out.", Alex calmly spoke as his eyes were still closed.

Trio walked out, hugo and Rio discussed few things after a while they walked downstairs, just then they saw Mia walking out of the kitchen with soup.

"Feed him this.", Mia spoke to Rio.

"The same one? ", Rio questioned in a shiver.

"Yes.", Mia nodded.

"Madam...can I not? He might kill me if I walk in now.", Rio was scared to death.

"Please take this in...he won't do anything to you.", She spoke as her tiredness was seen in his eyes...her makeup was not enough to cover her pearl eyes which made one lose all rationality.

"Sure Madam.", Rio took the bowl and walked upstairs, the rest followed. He knocked on the door. Hearing no sound he gasped and open the door in one swift.

"Are you here with the soup?", Alex calmly spoke.

"Boss...I...", Before he could say anything. Mia silently smiled as she was attached to the wall and smiled.

'You knew...he is smart but regretfully he isn't yours.', Mia's mind voice perked her heart.

"Get it here...I am hungry.", Alex spoke as Rio adjusted the table and brought the soup.

Alex had his soup and a smile hung on his pale lips.

'It's worth getting shot for this soup.', His mind voice spoke as he had a spoonful again.

Seeing his pale lips turned upwards Rio gasped. 'Was he dreaming? He must be.', Rio thought as he silently stood beside him.

Alex soon drifted into sleep...Rio walked out and saw Mia sitting on the side.

"Young Madam...", Rio spoke.

Seeing him walk away with an empty bowl...she smiled and fainted on the spot.

Lucas who just walked in...gasped as he rushed upstairs. Rio who just registered everything walked quickly towards her. But before he could reach her, Lucas was beside Mia.

"Mia...Mia...", Lucas tried to wake her but realized that isn't gonna work.

" Tony to the hospital.", Lucas spoke as he lifted Mia in his arms.

He turned towards Rio.

"I am warning you, this is the last time...One more time, I will kill you with my own hands.", Lucas violently warned Rio and rushed downstairs.

Rio sighed and closed his eyes.

'God please...please.', He silently roared in his heart.

Leni and Hugo already went to the outhouse along with Jack so they weren't aware of all this.

Lee Hospitals.

Lucas was seated beside Mia's bed as he silently stared at her.

"She is too weak and fainted...I injected her liquids she will gain consciousness in 2 hours.", Ruth spoke as she stared at the woman whose face is covered with tight makeup.

"Thank you, Dr.Ruth.", Lucas spoke as he held Mia's hand.

"Mr.Lucas...I am one of the few people who never want to see her in this position.", Ruth's heart was breaking into pieces...only she knew how she felt every time when she saw Mia in the hospital every time.

"I am incapable and unworthy to be called as her brother.", Lucas spoke as his eyes never left Mia's.

"Glad you know that, My patience is limited...I will snatch her from you if this repeats.", Ruth spoke as she walked away.

Lucas frowned but still calmed down. He stared at the sleeping woman.

"Mia...4 more years...I will give back what you rightfully deserve, please forgive this elder brother for not being capable.", His tears threatned to fall as he stared at the lean woman who's unconsious at the moment.
