Descendants Fate; Faye Nobody Heiress - Chapter 23

Leigh made up her mind, she agrees to the plan of Ms. Airelle; Faye wakes up early, the day where she will be examined for further days. Czerene and Leigh don’t have any classes for the day.

Leigh sees her best friend Faye staring to vastness, she breaks the silence and decided to call Faye’s attention.

“Faye,” Leigh calls her sweetly

Faye stares at her, not giving any reaction.

Leigh notices that Czerene is out in the room, she looks around.

Leigh inhales, she feels she need to that before speaking then she exhales.

“I met your auntie” Leigh decided to tell, she feels she need to let Faye knows about it.

She observes Faye’s face lighten up “Aunt Airelle” Faye’s mouthed.

Leigh face brims with happiness as she hears Faye’s finally talk; she knows on that very moment nothing serious happen to her best friend.

“Yes, she wanted to see you” Leigh added

“Where is she?” Faye asks casually

“She is out there not far from here but Ms. Airelle is watching over you, she said she will help you” Leigh slowly telling some bits of information to her best friend.

“She will help me” Faye’s voice is firm

“Yes, you will be undergoing some further tests for today. You have to relax. Your auntie has planned everything.” Leigh explain

“Plan, what she is trying to do?” Faye asks curiously

“Right now, I think we need to trust her, she knows way more than we do.” Leigh still talking softly

Czerene opens the door which makes both of them look at her, she is overwhelmed to the fact that her best friend Faye is awake and finally talking.

“Faye” Czerene smiles

“You guys catching up now, without me?” Czerene laughs softly.

Leigh quickly gets up, gets Czerene hand and leads her next to Faye’s bedside where she also seated.

“Listen Czerene, the three of us only know that Faye is fine and can converse normally. We have to keep it within us, do not tell to anyone even Ken and Raven” Leigh persuades her.

“Why?” Czerene confuse but Faye doesn’t show any reactions

“Faye should not let anyone knows her real condition, she will undergo some test for us to know the real result of her health status now; right now, we need to keep this for ourselves until the test is not conducted.” Leigh elaborated.

“Okay, but don’t you think Doctor Montez, Raven and Ken will be happy knowing Faye is conscious and can normally converse.” Czerene is confuse

Leigh looks at Faye’s face upon Czerene continuously mentioning Raven; Faye doesn’t give any reaction which somehow gives her anxiety.

“It’s good to keep everything for ourselves first Czerene,” Leigh holds Czerene’s hand.

“I hope you know by now, we have to protect Faye. We only have each other and have to trust each other. We can’t be careless.” Leigh reminds Czerene.

Czerene feels Leigh’s touch and word are trying to make her realize something much deeper; Leigh’s words are not straight to the point but she gets the message she is trying to tell.

Czerene somehow agrees, they only have each other and after what happened to Faye, it is hard to trust other people.

Czerene let out a deep breathe and answer “Okay”

Leigh let out a sigh and smile, “Let’s prepare Faye for the test”

Faye stares at Leigh while Czerene goes to the room “What’s my auntie plan?” Faye murmur

Leigh’s eyes widen, she somehow felt that Faye knew something about her aunt real identity.

“Right now, I can’t tell to you. We can’t afford to mess up. Trust your auntie, she has a good plan.” Leigh ȧssures.

Faye nods, she never smiles, and it seems that a part inside of her is dead. Faye’s eyes are not sparkling like it is before.

Leigh goes at her stuff and looks at the things Ms. Airelle provided her, eyeglasses which she immediately wears. Ms. Airelle told her it has a camera installed and it is a special eyeglass.

She also put the earpiece in her left ear which she hides by her hair,

Leigh feels herself, she is surprisingly calm. Leigh tells herself she will explain everything to Czerene after they win this mission. Faye is going through the CT scan, on the screen, it quickly revealed on the screen what the doctor sees.

Leigh is wearing eyeglasses as she watches Faye’s pass through the CT scan, the result she sees in the screen is seen immediately by Ms. Airelle on her view monitor. Faye is lying in bed, still unconscious as the doctor’s talk.

Leigh is viewing it from outside, the doctor talking to each other after they see the results on the screen.

Leigh can’t hear anything from her place but they installed a hearing device in the doctor’s chair.

Ms. Airelle and Leigh can hear it clearly, “nothing is wrong, everything is clear, this is good news.” The doctor said.

As soon as Ms. Airelle heard it, the lights went off for a quick second. The doctor about to get up when the lights are back, they call some staff to ask what happened.

The head security says it is a minor glitch in the electricity supply in that area, quick seconds would not a big deal at all.

“What happens?” Doctor Montez asks

“I don’t know, it is clear before, isn’t maybe our eyes deceive us a while ago, the image is not that clear. Now that it is, we can see the minor damages, still not something to be panic.” the other doctor commented

“I know but it depends on the patience, the therapy and healing process depends on the patient, her recovery is in her hands. It’s her choice.” Dr. Montez said

“This is the result and we have to let Mr. Briggs aware about his stepdaughter situation.” the other doctor suggested.

“Okay will do that,” Doctor Montez answers.

Leigh smiles, the nurses moved Faye back in her room.

Czerene is quietly watching Leigh all along as she is staring at Faye seems worried.

“Are you worried about the result, It is good a while ago then the lights went off and suddenly the result is bad,” Czerene asks

“No matter what the result, Faye is still in trouble.” Leigh sighs

“What do you mean?” Czerene asks

“Czerene I will tell you everything, Promise me not to freak out” Leigh blurted out

“I’m nervous in the way you sound” Czerene confess

“Mr. Briggs will be here sooner and will know about the results,” Leigh says

“Of course he is the stepfather of Faye; he will go here and pretend he cares for media purposes,” Czerene says.

“The moment Mr. Briggs comes, there will be a person coming here and she is close to Faye,” Leigh says

“Who” Czerene is curious.

“Faye’s auntie, the sister of her mother; Ms. Airelle” Leigh answers

“No way, she lives overseas. Faye never talks about her, she stops talking about her relatives when her father died.” Czerene mutters.

“But she is here; she knows what happens to her niece and will get her out of here.” Leigh answers.

“What!” Czerene snaps

“What are you thinking Leigh, how are you so calm telling me that. That person will take Faye and that is your reaction, we didn’t even know if we could trust her” Czerene outburst.

“She can be trusted” Faye suddenly buŧŧs in which makes Leigh and Czerene look at her direction.

“It’s about time. She promised me she will get me in the right moment and make me learn things I needed to learn to revive all the things that are meant for me and to save my mother.” Faye said firmly.

“What are you talking about Faye?” Czerene confuse.

“I will come with her” Faye stated

“I need to learn to form her and I need to know the truth.” Faye’s brave conviction is showing.

“I need to act that I forgot everything since that is what the results show,” Faye announce.

“What?” Czerene is losing her cool, she looks at Leigh.

“Wait, are all these are” Czerene can’t continue what she wanted to asks

Leigh answers fast and swiftly “Yes, you have to trust us Czerene”

Czerene looks at Leigh and Faye, she knows her two best friends very well for years and she knows the two will never do anything that will hurt other people. They will never go do things to the extent they need to lie unless it’s a matter of life and death

Czerene helplessly nods as she stares softly to her best friends;

“Play along in the situation and act with us and never blurted information to Ken and Raven” Leigh reminds Czerene.

“Okay, I understand” Czerene finally agrees.

Leigh smiles as she looks at Faye who looking blankly in the vastness.

Doctor Montez came in, doing the physical exam, checking her eyes, nose, throat, ear, her vital signs, blood pressure, and pulse rate. Everything is normal.

The doctor decides to ask her to know if the result of the CT scan is real and have effect;

“Hi Faye” Doctor Montez asks

Faye nods and looks at him never say a word.

“Do you know why you are here in the hospital? Why are you in that bed?” Doctor Montez ask

Faye shook her head, not showing any emotion.

“Okay, do you know me?” The Doctor asks’

Faye nods the doctor smile.

“So you remember me, what’s my name then?” the doctor asks

“Doctor Montez” Faye answer casually

“I’m glad you remember. I’m your family doctor. I’m the one who helps your mother when she is getting birth with you” Doctor Montez smiles

“Your name” Faye mutter as she pointed in the doctor lab,

“It’s written there” Faye continues unfazed.

“Oh’ clever. Is that the reason you answer my name. I’m sorry I thought you remember me” Doctor Montez is upset.

Faye shook her head. Doctor Montez looks at Faye’s friend and pinpoints them

“Them, you know them? Doctor Montez asks

Faye shook her head. Czerene becomes naturally sad even though she knows Faye is acting, still, it affects her and Leigh notices and she taps her back.

“They are you’re a best friend. They are here with you since the first day.” Doctor Montez explains.

Faye smiles “They are good people then. I’m glad they are my friend” Faye answers witty

“You sure are witty for someone that can’t remember important matters.” Doctor Montez smiles

“Do you remember anything about the race?” Doctor Montez voice is endearing

Faye can’t help it but there is a pinch of hurt in her heart that she feels, she doesn’t need to act it. When Doctor Montez asks the questions, the memory floods and it overwhelms her feelings.

Faye found herself gripping her ċhėst and bowing her head, tears escaping freely as she cries aloud.

Doctor Montez suddenly gets up and calms her; the doctor knew he triggered something that causes Faye’s anxiety.

Doctor Montez calms her “I’m sorry, okay I will stop asking. You should rest now”

The nurse came and gives her some calming tea she can drink.

Faye breathing is still heavy and she doesn’t want anything, she shoves the tea away and screams as she covers herself with her blanket.

Leigh and Czerene are both surprises in what Faye is reacting, they immediately come to her and soothes her.

They both at the bedside and ċȧrėssing her back “it’s okay Faye” Czerene says

Doctor Montez knew that the accident causes trauma to Faye and it’s evident. The temporary loss of her memory is her defense mechanism to protect herself.

The doctor knew he should let Faye heal in her accords and stop mentioning to her the incident.

Doctor Montez feeling sorry as he leaves Czerene and Leigh to take care of Faye
