Caleb didn't let his wife leave his side, especially now that they found out that Hazel escaped from prison. He also informed his family about it, he also called Sergeant Pascual who guarded Hazel in prison to find out what happened and how she escaped.
Sergeant Pascual's face was as white as paper when he and his wife arrived in his office that afternoon.
He immediately told them what happened.
Sergeant Pascual rushed Hazel to the emergency room after he called his grandfather, but the sergeant and his two police companions were forbidden by the doctor to enter the emergency room because according to the doctor they are not allowed to enter the emergency room.
"But she's a criminal, we have to watch her." Sergeant Pascual said angrily. "We just don't want her to die so we brought her here to the hospital."
"Sir this is a hospital and not a prison, and for us she's a patient." the doctor answer. "We have protocol that civilians even the police officers are not allowed to come inside the emergency room."
"The fuck with that protocols, bring her back and we will just go to another hospital if we are not allowed in the emergency room."
"Are you saying we should just leave the patient die?" the doctor asked him seriously.
The sergeant didn't answer his question, he knew it was the doctor's job to treat all the patients brought to their hospital but he didn't think that the doctor would prevent them from entering the emergency room.
He couldn't do anything but wait for Hazel to come out of the emergency room, at that moment the sergeant regretted why he took her to the hospital. Sergeant Pascual started to get nervous, it was almost six o'clock in the evening but Hazel was still not taken out of the emergency room, the two policemen who were with him were also panicking.
They have seen several patients come in and out of the emergency room but at this moment they still haven't let Hazel out. Until he knocked on the door of the emergency room, an angry nurse immediately opened it.
"Sir, please keep quiet." the nurse said to him. "This is a hospital and not a precinct."
"Bring me to the patients name Hazel Canlas now!" he ordered angrily to her.
But the female nurse just frowned.
"I've been a nurse here since this afternoon and we don't have a patient named Hazel Canlas."
The sergeant's body immediately frozen because of what the nurse said, he couldn't help but shiver with fear. He immediately showed the nurse his police badge and quickly entered the emergency room, he didn't care about the hospital's protocol because he had to find Hazel.
"Sir, calm down."
The nurse said as he opened the curtains one by one inside the emergency room, but he had already opened all the curtains there but he didn't see Hazel. He was about to enter a room there but the nurse immediately stopped him, saying that it was an operating room and he could not just enter.
"Please wait here Sir, I will inform the other doctors inside that you want to come in."
After a few minutes, one doctor came out of the operating room. The sergeant immediately asked if there was a patient named Hazel inside the operating room, but the doctor said that no one named Hazel among their patients.
He also allowed him to go inside and peek into the other rooms where the operations were being carried out, but he couldn't see Hazel from there.
"Is there any other way out of this room other than the emergency room door?" he asked the doctor after he told him what happened.
"There's a door in the emergency room that you can use to go inside the hospital and go to the hospital pharmacy."
The doctor pointed him to a door in the corner of the hallway, saying that no one could enter from there unless they will use their hospital ID but that can be used to get out of the emergency room.
He made a mess, he didn't think he would be doomed because of his simple pity for a criminal. He should have listened to General Valdez and shouldn't bring that criminal in the hospital.
He immediately went to the hospital directors office to conduct an investigation, but he was surprised that they did not allow him to conduct any investigation inside the hospital.
"Do you have a search warrant Sir?" the hospital director asked the sergeant. "I want to help you, but we are not allowed to disclose any information here in the hospital if you don't have any search warrants."
He couldn't answer because he didn't have any search warrant because he never thought that this would happen, he was about to go insane.
They couldn't play the cctv footage of the hospital on the day the sergeant carried out the search warrant, the director said that they are changing the cameras on all hospital facilities that day.
The sergeant couldn't do anything but to blamed himself, he didn't think about the consequences of what he did and just made a decision because he felt sorry for that woman. Since then he has done nothing but investigate and searched for Hazel, but it has taken them three months but they still haven't found her.
"If we haven't chineck yet, you still have no intention of telling us the truth?" he asked him angrily.
The sergeant did not answer.
"Didn't my grandfather also say that you should just let her suffer in prison."
"Mr. President, I'm sorry but please understand, I have two daughters and I can't bear to leave her alone when I see her suffering or almost dying in front of me."
"But you helped a criminal, your daughters are not criminals so you should not compare them to her. Do you have any idea how many people she almost killed, everyone's lives, especially my wife, was in danger now because of what you did."
He saw that Sergeant Pascual was stunned by his words, but the anger he felt still did not disappear even though he knew that he regretted what he did.
Hazel is not just any woman, she is evil and she is worse than other criminals who are only after money.
"Now you have to bring back that woman in prison again as soon as possible Sergeant, I will give you a week."
"But Mr. President--."
"You have the nerve to hide what happened from us for three months, and now you can't do what I'm asking you to do?"
"We've been searching for her for the past three months but until now we still haven't seen her."
"I don't care what you do, you have a week to find that woman if you don't want to say goodbye to your job!"
-----
"Honey, we need to help Sergeant Pascual to find Hazel." Neli said to her husband.
She wasn't worried about the sergeant losing his job if he couldn't find Hazel for a week, she was worried about herself, call her selfish because she was only thinking about herself at that moment but she couldn't blame herself. Hazel's only target is her, and she knows she won't stop until she gets what she wants and that is her husband.
"Of course, I will Honey." he replied. "I will not allow you and our child's lives to be in danger."
He immediately ordered his assistant to hire several private investigators to look for Hazel, he also asked their grandfather that they would need his help in the military to move and find Hazel. Her husband didn't even let her go to the coffee shop that day and only sent her bodyguard to watch over her staff.
They need to be careful especially now that Hazel is free to do what she wants.
But who will help her?
His father is currently in prison with three of her men, because of their punishment. They were only sentenced for two years imprisonment because of what they did to help arrest Hazel. Except for her father, Raymond and Rhea are the only relative left.
"Ahh." she exclaimed when she realized something.
"What happened?" her husband asked her worriedly.
"Rhea, I just remember Rhea."
"Who's that?"
"Ehhh, remember the model Rhea, she's Mr. Raymond's daughter who bumped into me before. I can hire her at the coffee shop as a manager, so someone can watch over my shop."
"Are you sure about that?"
She smiled and nodded.
Caleb immediately asked her bodyguard Diego to look for Rhea.
The next day, she was shocked when her bodyguard told them that Rhea didn't come with them because her father just died.
They immediately went to Rhea's house where her deceased father held his funeral, according to her a man pretended to be a policeman entered the precinct and suddenly shot her father, the suspect immediately shot his head after he shot Rhea's father in prison.
But her father did not reach the hospital alive and was declared dead on arrival.
"I'm so sorry for what happened to your father, Rhea."
Rhea just sobbed in her arms, because of the incident that she witnessed with Christian and Paula, and now to Rhea's father, she couldn't help but blame herself for what happened to them, she never thought that their life could also be in danger just because those four helped her to put Hazel in jail.
Because of her enemy, other people's lives are in danger, and one of them even lost his life just because he helped her. She couldn't help but think about what her husband did to Hazel back then, it hurts and heavy when the lives of the people who helped or saved your life are in danger. Perhaps her husband felt the same way, as she does now, every time he will find out that she was torturing Hazel back then.
She feels guilty every time she thinks that someone might lose their life because of her, and she could not protect them either because her life was also in danger.
"Please come with us Rhea, I'll give you a job at my coffee shop, and we'll protect you as well to make sure you're safe." she said worriedly to her.
"Is there something wrong Ma'am Hazel?" anxiety can be seen on her face. "Is my life in danger?"
"Hazel escaped." her husband answered.
"What?!" she exclaimed. "But..."
"I'm so sorry, Rhea." she couldn't help but apologized to her. "We haven't caught her until now and we're not sure if Hazel is the one who's behind what happened to your father, but I'm sure that all of our lives are not safe now that she escaped from the prison."
After an hour of talking, Rhea decided that she would only make her father's funeral for two days because she's not expecting any relatives to visit him anyway, they also gave her a bodyguards to protect her while her deceased father was still in their house.
