Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever

Chapter 13 - You Are Doomed



Aria and Ivy looked at the receptionist, who was staring at them curiously. They were at the Royal Health Care Hospital looking for the head nurse. Danny had informed them that the nurse worked at the neurology department.

Ivy tapped again at the reception desk. "Miss, may I know where I can find the head nurse of the neurology department."

The receptionist gave them a thorough look and pointed towards her back. "Go straight towards the end. You may find head nurse Simi in the second room on the left.

The West sisters went in the direction indicated by the receptionist. The door to the second room opened and a middle-aged lady walked out. She had the nurse outfit on her and was carrying a tray of medicines.

"Excuse me. Are you Miss Simi?" Aria said, stopping the woman.

"Yes, I am. How many I help you, dear?" The nurse asked with a smile.

"We want to talk to you in private if possible," Ivy replied hoping for her to accept.

"We want to talk about our Dad. Please." Aria said, showing her father's picture to the nurse.

The nurse's face contorted in realization. "I am sorry dear. It's against the hospital's rules to reveal about our patients."

"Please. It is important. We haven't seen him for years. It's been three years since he disappeared. Please tell us about him." Ivy pleaded holding the nurse's hands.

The nurse sighed and gestured them to follow her. She walked inside an empty ward and turned to face them.

"Look, I nothing about your father except that he was hospitalized a few months back. Nobody was allowed near the ward other than a few people. And his case was completely handled by the hospital Director."

"Who is the hospital Director?" Aria intervened.

"There is no use in telling about him."

"Why?" Ivy questioned.

"He moved to Australia along with his family and nobody has contacted him ever since."

"Then who is in charge of the hospital now?" Aria asked finding it all strange.

"That I don't know. It is rumored that a new doctor has been made the Director. But nobody has seen him yet. Now I have to go dear." The nurse scurried out of the room.

Aria and Ivy stared at one another.

"Everything is a mess," Ivy said in frustration.

Aria nodded. They had got some hints about their father, only to reach a dead end.

"Let's go."

Noah was watching the news about David Peters being taken away for interrogation, when the door opened and his parents walked in along with his grandfather. His mother, Hailey Carter, looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"We leave you for a while and you end up getting shot." His grandfather reprimanded him.

"I am fine Mom. Don't cry."

"Why were you careless?" His grandfather continued. "Have you looked into who was responsible for this?"

"Yes old man. Don't worry." Noah then handed the envelope to his father. His father, Samuel Carter, looked at it in confusion. He opened it and took a look at its contents. His expression turned from confusion to shock and then to rage. He couldn't believe that his ex-wife would be this horrendous. She even hid the truth about their son. He handed the papers to his father.

"What have you thought to do now?" Samuel asked patting Noah's shoulder.

"It all depends on you."

"Although he is my blood, he tried to harm you. I don't accept such things. You are free to do what you want." Samuel said sighing. Hailey couldn't understand a word they were talking about. She raised her eyebrows and her eyes darted between the three men. The door opened suddenly and a beautiful woman in a beige dress strutted in. She was a blonde with her face covered in a thick layer of makeup and her perfume smell was so strong that it made Noah nauseous.

"Caroline, what are you doing here?" Noah asked feigning a look of shock. He knew she was going to visit him soon.

"I came to you to visit you, sweetheart. You must be hurting because of the pain. I am so sorry I couldn't come before. I am so happy that you are fine. I wouldn't know what to do without you." She faked a tear.

Noah rolled his eyes at her exceptional acting.

"Uncle, Auntie, Grandpa. I am so sorry. I didn't see you. How are you?" She asked looking at them finally. She looked like a fragile woman who had lost everything, making one want to protect her. The men clenched their fists, yet gave her a smile. Hailey observed at their odd behavior and looked at her husband for an explanation. He gave her an indication that he would explain everything later.

"Son, we will take your leave. You take care." Noah father said. He nodded at them.

Hailey gave him a hug. "When are you getting discharged?"

"Tomorrow."

"Come to the mansion. You will stay with us for a few days." She said, allowing no room for objection.

"Ok."

After his family left his ward, he turned towards Caroline.

"Umm. Caroline, I need to talk to you."

"Yes, sweetheart tell me."

"Let's break up." He said coldly.

"What? I think I am hearing things." Caroline asked.

"No, you are not. I said let's break up." He stressed each word this time, his voice laced with annoyance.

"You can't do this to me. What did I do wrong?" She wailed throwing the vase near her on the floor.

"Oh. Trust me. I can do a lot more." Noah said, his rage rising to a great level. Caroline shivered. He looked like the asura from hell. She had never seen him this way before. For a minute, she thought that he knew everything about her identity. The next moment she shook her head thinking that it was not possible, she had been careful.

"I know everything about you." The moment these words left his mouth, her body trembled. She knew her end was near. She had gone against someone, whom she shouldn't even have approached in the first place.

"And tell Beth and Eddie, their death is awaiting them. Now get out of my ward." He shouted, making her flinch. She hastily walked towards the door.

"And Caroline." She froze in fear. She was on the verge of a mental breakdown. She had nowhere to go, nowhere to hide. Noah would find her anywhere on this planet. She knew about his power. It was said about Noah that, "Even if you don't get on his right side, don't ever get on his wrong side." And she had done just that.

"You are doomed."
