Chapter 66: You better be ready when I find you!

28 November, 20XX (Tuesday)

"How is she?" Luciella scurried into the ward where Anna was lying down, her nanny Kelly was beside her.

Kelly nodded at her presence, "The doctor is still trying to find out the cost of young miss fainting."

"Porca puttana!" Luciella curses in italian, which made the guards and the others shudder since whenever she curses in Italian it meant that she was real mad.

"per favore perdonaci" the nanny and the doctors in the room bowed and begged for forgiveness.

Luciella look as though her heart was torn into pieces, she held onto Anna's hand. Not wanting to leave her, though the aura she gave out scared the others. "Arthur, I want the best doctor here now!"

Arthur nodded and hurried to get the doctor, knowing full well what will happen if she further delayed.

'Honey, I am sorry that I missed your birthday...' she said in her mind, since yesterday was her fourth birthday. She missed it again, since she was held up by Alessandro. She still did not have a chance to talk to him, knowing what he would start again.

"Why did she faint?"

"She ate a cake, and not long after she had a high fever and could not wake up." Kelly did not dare to look at Luciella's murderous look.

"You do not want me to call her dad do you!" Luciella threatened, knowing full well it will scare her senseless.

"We did not test the food...." A mistake made, not testing whether the food was poisoned or not. Luciella promised she would ruthlessly torture the one that harmed Anna.

Everyone flinched when Luciella glared at them, "GET OUT!" She shouted, heavily breathing trying to calm herself down.

[Alessandro: Where are you?]

3 missed calls..

Luciella ignored all the calls, she stayed by Anna's side taking care of her. Her eyes were blanked as thought about how she was not a good mother to her own daughter, she decided to give birth to her but she did not take care of her well.

If you cannot give her the love and care she wants, why give birth to her?..it was selfish of her to not sort her own personal life out, leaving Anna to suffer with her. If only she were an adult, and can handle everything by herself. She would not have such a trouble, which needed to seek consent every now and then.

"Ms Walker" The head doctor, Marianne. The personal doctor that had tended to the walkers for decades, a young woman at the age of 28 years old. A prodigy doctor, who took over her families lineage.

"How is she?" Luciella stood up, facing Marianne.

"We have checked the records, and it is shown that young Anna had been poisoned with Tetrodotoxin. A type of poison that paralyses a person and can be fatal if not detoxify, we need to do a blood transfusion for her."

Luciella clenched her fist tightly, her nails digging into her palm. Blood started trickling down, her eyes were bloodshot. 'That person who did this will pay!' she swore to herself in her mind, that she would not let the perpetrator get away with this.

"Do whatever you need, I want to see her up and well." Luciella waved the rest out of the room, she needed some time alone to think.

Marianne nodded, "I will make sure young Anna will be alright, but since she is still a child...."

"Say it!" Luciella yelled, not wanting to be kept away from the truth.

"She would need 24/7 care, since she would have difficulty walking or talking. It would be best if her mom or dad could stay with her throughout, because she would need morale support with the turmoil she would be going through."

Luciella messaged her temples, as she felt a painful headache. Too many things were coming down at her, "I will call her dad, meanwhile please move on with the arrangements."

Luciella deep down felt anxious, she did not know everything would suddenly start to spiral out of control. She felt pressured, everything was planned. She was not prepared for it, having to needing to come clean with the truth soon.

Zenith,

"Boss, we are currently ch..."

"Scram." Alessandro's eyes were cold, as his body exuded complete dominance. Liu hurriedly got out of the office.

'Clank!' Alessandro threw the glass he was holding onto, he threw it to the ground. His body was trembling with anger, he had been trying to reach out to Luciella but she did not answer any of his calls.

'You better be ready when I find you!' breathing heavily his eyes were bloodshot from anger, he felt annoyed when he found Luciella missing.

He was elated when Luciella agreed on his plan and asked him to continue with it, which made him happily pushing his plans with her forward. But who would have known when he wanted to ask or talk to her nicely, she was no where to be found.

Alessandro felt like it was a mistake to even believe her in the start, he watch her grow up. But he seem to start to not understand her more and more, from her boy toy to how she thinks. Everything seems as though he could not control its rhythm, what ticks him off further was him not wanting to hurt her.

He was not himself, he felt like punishing her badly. But he knew better than to force her, he did not want that. Which was why he did not lay his hands on her, everyday, every minute, every second. He wants to devour her whole, but he refrained himself.

Alessandro wanted to cherish her, he feel that she could understand him. That was what he thought, not when she disappeared on him.
