178 Faster [1]

She was staring outside the car's window looking at the people and cars passing by, the stoplight changed its color to green after a minute. She continued singing softly still staring outside with arms cross on her chest.

♪F*cking bastard

Freaking retard

I'm trying to do my work properly

If you're just going to f*cking annoy me

Leave me freaking alone

Go and be gone

You freaking son of a b*tch

You sleazy ugly leech ♪

She was sure that it was because of the witch that these people are bothering her and this notion was proven right when she visited him.

Mason who drove her to the hospital as per the insistence of the couple accompanied Reen towards the VIP hospital room.

They knock at the door and it was opened by the b*tch herself. Reen silently handed the fruits they brought to her while she took it without even saying thank you and left them at the entrance as she found something to place them into.

Seth who was looking weak and sickly lay on the hospital bed at the middle of the room.

Lilith as they were only the ones there did not need to act like a mother figure so she was like her normal self. She was a bit haggard with visible black lines under her eyes.

Reen walked towards Seth's bed and stood at his right side silently with an expressionless face, Mason stood beside her trying to lessen his presence as much as he could, being afraid that he will be thrown out.

"You're here…" Seth said in a feeble voice then peek at her reaction but seeing no change Seth continued to act as though his illness was worse than what it really was.

Reen who was pretending to be listening to him could not help but sing to herself and in this kind of situation inspired her to compose a new song.

♪ As I wait for the time

A thought came out my mind

So many things to do

Which make me feel sad and blue.

I'm getting tired of all this stuff

I can't even managed to laugh

Too stresses out to do that

So what I did is just sat

And wait for this day to end

Wishing it will go faster again and again ♪

"Hmm… still needs a bit of more words" She thought to herself.

Seeing no other reaction from Reen except her stoic face he quitted his amateurish acting and laid on the bed comfortably. In fact his illness was only in the early stages and was not as major as what they were trying to make it for so he did not really feel that much pain.

He wanted to get the pity of this daughter of his for financial reasons. Though his siblings helped him in shouldering his hospital bills, with the recent scandal outbreak their suppliers and stock holders actually freeze their accounts and abandon them as they didn't want to be associated with them after the scandal occurrence.

The others hurriedly sold their stocks before it plummets more even if it was below the market price as it was better than nothing in their minds. Some of their employees also resigned with only a hundred out of the thousand staff they had remained. Currently, they were really in the bottom of the barrel [2].
