31 Chapter 39 What Happened

Rhio POV s

When we reached his suite, a woman caught my eye. Elthon looked at me defensively because he knew what I have to say about it.

"How many times do I have to tell you? No women!"

"Please go out for a moment Ms. Chin," Elthon politely requested to his secretary. And when we're finally alone he resumed talking, "Making both your companies an empire of men will have negative impression of sexism to our female clients globally. Whatever hate you possibly have for women, make sure it doesn't complicate the companies' reputation. Maybe it's time you consider a coed working environment."

"Whatever," I dissented but let the matter pass for now. I have other things to worry about. "But that woman, Raya, who is she? You seem to know her personally. What connection do I or my father have with her?"

Elthon sat at the edge of his working table and crossed his arm. "She's someone we know in the university. And don't worry, she isn't related to you or your father by blood."

Mild pain shot up my side to my stomach but I ignored it and remained silent. The doctor continued on with his story.

"She changed her surname to Zel Cantheliz when your father got married," he laughed.

I shut my eyes to the pangs of pain that followed. It got worse as it crept down to my crotch and legs.

"Rhio?" Elthon noticed.

My sight blacked out when I tried to stand. The last thing I heard before passing out was a loud thud as I fell on the floor.

I woke up to the sight of the white ceiling and a little tube attached to the back of my left hand. It was certainly a hospital room.

Sya, who sat at my side, uttered relief when I opened my eyes, "How are you feeling?"

"What happened?" I tried to move immediately but pain suddenly bolted down my torso again. I yelped at the excruciating pain.

Niel came in with two male nurses. He took a syringe from the tray he was holding while the nurses tried to restrict my movements.

"This was a recurrence of your childhood physiological trauma," he explained as he injected me with a narcotic analgesic. "This will help to calm you up."

"Just take me home," I struggled as my body felt heavy and everything blurred out in drowsiness.
