Darling, Don’t Run Away! - Chapter 259

It’s late at night when Raymond was glancing at Luna, who is already sleeping on his sofa while waiting for him. His unfinished work still had halfway and probably will be done in dawn if he continues it.

Turning his body around to the glass window, he sighs. Well, New York City never sleeps. Even it’s already late at night, there are still many people outside, drunk, working like him, and some of them enjoying the rest of the night.

He stood up from his chair and went to the sofa where Luna was sleeping. He bends his body and scoops her into his arm. Bringing her to the bedroom inside his office.

Luna already deep in sleep when Raymond moves her. She didn’t even notice it at all. All Luna can feel is a warmth like Raymond’s body wrapping around her body. She feels so comfortable that without knowing, she smiles in her sleep. It’s so soft and warm.

“Why are you smiling, silly?” Raymond chuckles and kisses on her forehead. When he wants to move his hand, Luna is still holding his arm. Unwilling to let him go.

Raymond scratches his head a little. There’s a work unfinished on his desk, and here, his beautiful wife is hugging his one arm unwilling to let him go. After some thoughts, he climbs up the bed and turns off the lamp. Lying next to Luna and bring her into his chest.

‘I guess I’ll do the rest tomorrow.’ He thought before he falls asleep.

…

The next day,

Luna wakes up in a strange room. There’s a hand wrapping around her waist and the familiar scent from behind her. When she moves to see who’s in her back, she smiles.

Raymond still asleep wearing his grey color t-shirt from yesterday. ‘This is means he didn’t finish his work, huh?’ she pokes on his cheek and move her finger to his hair. Enjoying every little piece of his handsome face.

“Mm…Morning, baby.” Raymond moves his head a little and peck on her cheek. The sensual touch from his wifey makes him awake.

“Morning..have you finish your work, honey?”

Shot open his eyes, he immediately sat up and earned a sharp pain in his head. “Ow!” He rubs his head softly.

Luna also sits up from the bed and touches his hands, which is rubbing his head. “Are you okay?”

Nodded, he said. “I’m fine.” he smiles and hides the pain. Maybe it’s the effect he had when he suddenly sits up from lying on the bed. After all, he still sleepy and only slept for less than four hours last night.

Luna is unconvinced with his reply. “Come on. Lay back, I’ll go get the drink,” she said, helping him lay back on the bed. Raymond did not refuse her help and lay back on the bed. He still a bit dizzy after all.

While waiting for her to bring a drink, his phone chime with a new notification. He scrunches his eyebrow before he took the phone and see a new message from Dania.

She’s informing that his dad was quite active going into a club where she can’t get access to it. But, all she can say is, inside that club is all veteran people.

There’s a lot of background, starting from high-class society into professional thugs. But whenever he went out of the club, he looks like he was just having fun there. Nothing suspicious in his behavior.

Sighing, Raymond pinches the bridge of his nose. It’s not easy to catch his dad’s fault. He’s meticulous, and every little thing he does, he left almost none trails at all.

“Honey..you’re okay?” Luna walks in with a tray of drink and a few tablets of paracetamol.

“Yeah. Just a little headache.” He slowly sat up and took the glass of water from the tray. He drank it with the paracetamol tablet.

“I still have work today..so,..”

“I’ll return home after we get some breakfast. After that, maybe I need to go out and find a good dress for Brian’s engagement party. It’s only a few days ahead.”

“Alright. I’ll call Owen to bring us something later.” He stood up from the bed and went to the wardrobe to check on something. Before he went to the bathroom, he turned around to Luna and extended his hand to her.

“Let’s go.”

“Hm?” She was a bit confused. ‘Go to where?’

“Bathe. Come on, I’ll help you wash up.” He smiles full of meaning, which Luna then chuckles.

She took his hand and walk to the bathroom together with him.

…

“Ugh…” Sarah grunts while trying to open her eyes. It’s quite bright, and her head a bit dizzy.

“Where am I?” She murmurs and slowly sits up on the bed where she’s been lying.

“You’re awake?” A female voice sounded through the room. “You’re in my treatment room, Miss Sarah.”

Sarah scrunched a bit. “Treatment room? Why am I here?” She turns around and tries to adapt to the brightness. Slowly she can see the doctor from yesterday standing near the bed.

“You don’t remember?” She asked, and Sarah nods her head. When she tried to move her muscles, that’s when she winced a bit. “Ah..” She looks down and saw there’s a bandage around her legs and arms.

“You cut yourself yesterday. We had to put you into sleep and draw your blood for testing. The result came yesterday night.” Dr. Angela put a file into the movable table before she takes a seat beside the girl.

“Guess what?” She starts again, and Sarah feels a bit anxious right now. From the doctor’s expression, she could guess that’s not good news at all.

“What?” She asked. Still sounded a bit rude.

“There’s a trace of a drug inside your blood. Are you taking an illegal drug, Miss Sarah? You can tell me if you take it.”

Laughing, Sarah pinches her forehead before she glared at the doctor who sits beside her bed. “You’re crazy, doc?! I never do drugs! You just want to ruin my name and reputation by saying this bullshit, aren’t you?!”

Dr. Angela was taken aback when seeing her reaction. Denying something obvious…clearly showing that she had mental issues. Not only that, but she also has a severe hallucination by saying there’s a ghost everywhere.

“Then, how do you explain the cuts on your body, Miss Sarah? We’ve checked, and the wound is clearly is your doing.”

Sarah chuckles. She finds her phone and starts looking for a contact number. “You know what, doc..I’ll sue you for doing a blood test without my consent. You’re not qualified to be a doctor at all!”

Dr. Angela scoff, hearing her threat. Even when she is ‘ill,’ she still dared to threaten people, huh?

Dr. Angela shakes her head and said, “Alright. I’ll wait for your lawyer’s letter.” She surrenders to treat this rude patient.

She can tolerate it if the patient feels insecure and worried, but she can’t tolerate a rude patient like Sarah. She was questioning her ability as a doctor, and she even threatening her rudely.

It’s okay for her to bring this case into the law. The test she made is already shown that this girl is ‘ill’ and the proof is on her body. Either way, she already knows the result of it.

Sarah grit her teeth when the doctor stood up while smirking at her. She then leaves her room before a few nurses come into the room.

“Miss Sarah, you’re free to change into your clothes, and please pay for the treatment bill before you’re leaving at the counter, please.”

“F.u.c.k off!” She threw a file to the nurse and stood up from her bed. She is ready to change into her clothes back, and when she walks out to the counter, she just remembers that she doesn’t have any cash at all.

All of her credit card been blocked by his dad and Caitlin are not answering her phone call either. She tries to call her mother, and it also had no response.

“F.u.c.k them all.” She curses, and the nurse at the counter smirked at her.

“You don’t have money for your treatment, Miss Sarah?”

“Shut up!” She glared at the nurse, and her last hope is to call Raymond.

A few rings and finally it was pick up.

“Raymond..”

“Sa..rah?Help! Help! Ahhhhh!!!”

Sarah immediately throws her phone to the floor. Her face pale, and she starts shivering. She was sure it’s Luna’s voice!

“No! No!! Don’t come!!” She crouches down on the floor while covering both of her ears.
