Palace

Jennifer had a very great sleep. Now, she was fully awaken. Yesterday, she was not really very conscious when she was being transferring to this house from hospital. Everything was not really clear to her vision as she had the after effects of her medicines which made her dizzy. As for today, since she is awaken from her sleep, she can't be able to stop herself from being surprised. First of all, her room. She was not ready to believe that she was in her own room. For a while, she thought that she was in her dream. Everything in that room was so fancy and classic. The colour coordination of the wall, furnitures, curtains were on point. These types of room only can be seen in those luxurious seven star hotel's VIP rooms. 

Selina came to her room as soon as she was awaken. After seeing Selina, she could be able to believe that it was indeed real and she was already in Edward's house. She got freshened up by the help of the nurse. After that, the nurse settled her on a wheel chair as they were about to took her to the garden to make her enjoy some fresh air. Coming out of her room, Jennifer's mouth was wide open and her eyes just forgot to blink. She couldn't believe her eyes what she was seeing. That was not looking like a house, but looked like some modern palace. Everything was so elegent and very expensive. 

As if her room was just a trailer, now she was watching a whole blockbuster film. 

As they were already at the garden, Jennifer was not ready to agree that it was just a garden. It was a whole park. Outside the house, a whole expensive resort was built. 

" How much money one can have to build a palace and a resort like this!", Jennifer kept counting in her mind that how much it can actually cost to build all of this. The more she was thinking, the more she was sweating. One of the nurse noticed her sweating face and she became terrified, 

" Miss, are you okay? What happened? " 

Jennifer looked at the nurse but she couldn't pay any attention to her as she was still counting the money that could have possibly cost. She kept looking at the nurse while her mouth was still open. The nurses looked at each other and asked her again, " Miss, What happened? " 

Jennifer was back in this world as she nodded her head and said, " Ahh..did you say something? " The nurses again looked at each other dumbfounded. Then, one of them said to her, " Miss, Let me wash your face, you are sweating. We should go back to your room." 

Jennifer was at her room. She was looking around as she kept thinking in her mind,

" Gosh, they are so rich. This is beyond my imagination. How can someone be so rich while some people in the same world are so poor that they need to beg to eat. This is just not fair. My dad also had to die because of this damn money! And look at them, If I just sold some of the furnitures of this house, I think the debt of my father will be covered up." Thinking of the debt of her father, Jennifer thought about the recent incidents. A lot of things has happened which were beyond her imagination. 

She was going to die, but her fate took her to Edward's house. She thought about the reason why she needed to meet Edward. " I have finally met him, now I have to fulfill my promise and then I will go to somewhere very very far from here where nobody will know me.", Jennifer became restless as she thought about the day when she will finally do her job and will start her new life. It's true that she gave up on meeting Edward, but definitely she has tried her best. She didn't want to give up, but she had to give up. But, she didn't die and her fate brought her in this situation. Now, it seems like all these happened because keeping her promise was actually in her fate. Now, she won't step back. She will protect Edward at any cost. 

-------------- 

It has been a whole day but Jennifer didn't see Edward. This morning, she was taken to the dining table as Selina and Robbin were having their breakfast. Jennifer couldn't eat anything there but she joined them. After that, they talked about so many things. Selina told her so many things about her mother. Jennifer was mesmerised knowing about the stories. She has heard a lot of stories about her mother from her father, but Selina's story was just so different. It seemed like her mother was quite naughty in her teenage but she became matured as she aged. 

While she was listening to Selina, she could see the excitement in Selina's eyes. Her mother and Selina was really good friends. Then, how come she never heard about this friendship. Even her father had no idea about that. A lot of questions were in her mind. She was thinking about the consequences for which their friendship was ended. What could possibly happened that her mother never mentioned Selina. 

Selina's eyes and face were full of excitement as she kept telling about their friendship. Even, Robbin was interrupting as he already knew what she was going to say. It proved that Selina often talks about her mother with Robbin. But, her mother never said anything to her father. Also, they were not in contact for years. Selina didn't even know about her mother's dead. 

Jennifer badly wanted to know what could have happened. But, looking at Selina's happy face, she didn't have the heart to ask her about that. She thought that she should take some time. Selina will definately tell her about this at the right time. 

Another thing was on Jennifer's mind. She wanted to know about Edward's whereabout as she didn't see him the whole day. But she was in dilemma if she should ask about this or not. Just at this moment, a figure was seen coming towards them. Jennifer's whole mood got spoiled as she looked at that face. 

Lina greeted Selina and Robbin, " Hello Aunt and Uncle. How are you? " Then she turned her gaze to Jennifer as she gave her a warm smile, " I have come to take a look at Miss Adams. How are you feeling now?" 

Jennifer could clearly see the hatred behind that sweet voice. However, she also gave her a sweet smile and said with a very exciting tone, " Really Doctor? You came to see me?!", Lina was dumbfounded but she maintained her act as she sat beside her, " Yess, how are you feeling now? All good?", Lina hold her hand and ask her with a very concerned voice. 

Jennifer was having fun as she understand what Lina was doing. " So doctor, you are really cunning! You are also trying to outplay me? Now see, how I play?", she thought that in her mind. 

Jennifer hold Lina's one hand with both her hands as she squeezed it so tightly. Lina felt painful as she was trying to free her hands but she failed. But, Lina didn't let it show on her face as she was trying to keep her smile in front of Selina and Robbin. Both of the adults were looking at them with face full of smiles. Selina was really feeling at ease as she saw that everything was good between these girls. 

Jennifer was giving her puppy eyes as she was saying, " I am sorry doctor, I misunderstood you. Now I know that you were not being harsh on me, you were just helpless. I am so greatful to you, if it were not for you, how I would have met aunt Selina. " Jennifer suddenly started to cry as now she was hugging Lina. She put her arms around her neck so tightly that Lina was about to faint. Lina wanted to scream but she didn't want to quarrel with Jennifer in front of Selina and Robbin. Moreover, if she tries to hurt Jennifer, it will be more of a problem as she is a patient and Jennifer will definitely play victim card. Lina was trying to free herself but Jennifer's grip was really very strong. 

One should admit that Jennifer was quite professional at this. Because, Selina and Robbin didn't even realised what was happening. They just saw that as a normal hug. But, only Lina could feel the pain. After some seconds, Jennifer let Lina go. Lina took a deep breath as she took time to get a control on herself. 

Selina looked at both of them as she said, " I am really glad that things between you two are good now. Jennifer, you really has a big heart." Jennifer smiled at Selina as she added, " No Aunt, it's not like that. If I were in the place of doctor Lina, I would have done the same thing. She tried her best to save her friend's life. Anyone would have done this. Doctor Lina is really a very good friend. ", She gave a big smile to Lina. 

Lina was already very much infuriated. Seeing the smile of Jennifer, she became more furious. She smiled back at Jennifer as she said, " Thanks, Miss Adams for understanding me." 

But in her mind she was having an evil thought, " You little bitch, just wait and watch what I will do with you."
