Let's Play Doctor!

Game 40 - Sometimes, goodbye is overrated

Shiloh needs me to be her legal mother no matter what.

I was yanked out of Angelo’s grasp faster than I could blink. I immediately shot a glare at Caleb who was holding a firm grip in my arms. He was glaring at me too.

At hindi ko alam kung bakit siya nagagalit, siya nga tong hinatak ako kay Angelo! Nakkahiya, ano nalang ang sasabihin ng mga bisita namin?

“Let go of me Caleb.”  I hissed. Hoping that only a few could hear it.

Tinanggal niya yung pagkahawak niya sa akin at nag walk out. I shot an apologetic smile at Angelo before following Caleb. Nakita ko siya sa kitchen kung nasaan naghahanda yung staff.

Tinignan ko lang sila at nagsilasisan muna silang lahat. Binalik ko ang tingin ko kay Caleb at tinignan siya ng masama. “How dare you humiliate me like that in front of those people!?”I seethed.

“And how dare you flirt with him in front of me and those people?” He hissed. “Talaga bang kailangan na maglandian kayo sa harap ko? All those touching and embrace! You humiliated me more!” he said as he pointed a finger at me.

I scoffed. “Hindi ako nakikipaglandian kay Angelo! Ano bang tumatakbo diyan sa utak mo at tingin mo lahat ay may malisya? Porket nag-uusap lang kami, naglalandian na agad? Porket niyakap ko siya?”

Napapagod na ako sa mga accusations ni Caleb lagi, lalo na pag kay Angelo, dati rin eto ang pinag-awayan namin. Ano pa bang magagawa ko para hindi na siya mag selos ng ganyan? Nakakapagod lang.

Nakarinig ako ng isang bagay na nabasag at nagbuntong hininga ako. “Mamaya nalang tayo ulit mag-usap.” Sabi ko at naglakad papunta kung saan nanggaling yung tunog.

Pagkarating ko sa study, nakita ko ang mag-asawang Carmichael na nagtitinginan lang na para bang walang nangyari sa loob. Napatingin ako sa lapag at nakita ang nabasag na baso at decanter.

“You’re bleeding.” Cassandra suddenly said. Agad niyang kinuha yung kamay ni James kaso agad din hinatak ni James yung kamay nito. Binaba ni Cassandra yung kamay niya at tinignan ng masama si James. “Let me see your hand, you’re bleeding, for God’s sake.” She told him.

“Stop with the fake concern Cassandra. We’re alone.” James said as if he didn’t know I was with them. “I’m not going to die with this by the way so poor you. Oh wait you’re not poor anymore, I made you rich. Are you sure you want to leave me? You won’t be so lucky marrying someone as rich as I am.”

Cassandra stiffened. Then she smiled icily at him. “Cut the crap Carmichael, we both know Anton could satisfy me not just with wealth but all those pleasures you just can’t seem to.”

I cleared my throat when I saw how James looked at Cassandra, it was as if he would hit her. Hindi ko alam kung gagawin niya pero mas ayos ng sigurado. Parehas silang napatingin sa akin, gulat na nakita ako. “James, I’m a doctor. And judging by the blood on the floor, I’m assuming you need stitches. Would you mind if I offer to stitch it up for you?” I offered.
