Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 50

Leia raised her brow at him and strolled past him into the room.

“When did you get those cool tattoos and why is your hair short?” Victor asked as he shut the door and locked it, then turned to her.

“I cut it.” Leia rolled her eyes and sat down on the white couch in the living room and crossed her legs. She folded her arms and lazily stared at him. “Let’s get to business.”

“Your attitude certainly has changed, not even a bit.” Victor shook his head and walked over to the table near the window, and opened its drawer. He pulled out a small bag that was suitable for carrying papers and ambled to the couch to sit down. Leia straightened up immediately and gazed intently at the bag.

Victor unzipped the bag and pulled out a stack of files that were tied with a slim white rope. He placed them on the mini table in front of them and dropped the bag beside him on the couch. “I didn’t check it, so as of now I have no idea of what’s written in there.” He turned to Leia and handed all the documents to her.

Leia received it and stared at the files for a while. Will she unravel the truth behind her mother’s death? Will her thirst for the truth be quenched at this moment? She took a low, deep breath and glanced at Victor, who nodded at her to open the files.

She slowly untied the rope binding the document, and yet another low breath escaped her nose. She opened the first file and her eyes scanned through it in anticipation.

As though she didn’t find anything interesting in the first file, she dropped it and picked up the second one. She dropped it again as nothing was interesting there, but her brow began to crinkle deeply when her eyes scanned the third file.

She slowly raised her eyes to stare at Victor and handed the document to him. With a bewildered expression on his face, he received the document from her.

“Unknown illness,” Leia said, behind a creepy chuckle, and stood up from the couch. “It says it’s an unknown illness.” She laughed softly and pinched her brow.

“Leia-”

“I was told she had heart failure and needed surgery-” Leia gazed at Victor as her breathing began to become unsteady. “-So why the hell is it written that it’s an unknown illness in that report?” Her face turned into a deep scowl, and she breathed heavily.

“I have no idea-” Victor admitted as he rose from the couch, “-but you need to calm down okay?” He walked up to her to touch her, but Leia pushed him away and glared at him. “Don’t tell me to calm down!” She walked around him to the mini table and picked up the last file.

She scanned through it with narrowed eyes, and her face darkened. “Wh-why is my father’s name written here?” She turned to Victor, with disbelief apparent in her eyes.

“What do you mean?” Victor ambled to her and took the document from her. He scanned through it, and his brow crinkled. “I… Maybe his name is written as a result of him being the one responsible for all the treatment she underwent earlier before she di-”

“Are you dumb or something?” Leia glared at him and took the file from him. “Take a look at the date written,” She pointed at the paragraph where Mr. Adolpho’s name was written. “It says September 5th of last year, and what was that time?”

“Um… wasn’t that the day that I drove you to admit your mother into the hospital?” Victor’s brow furrowed, and he glanced at the document again.

“Exactly! I was responsible for her surgery and the treatment she underwent that day and the rest.” Leia tapped her fingers on her thigh, and her creased brow deepened more. “My father only took over her treatment around May 26th of this year, so why is his name written with that date instead of mine?” She glanced at Victor, and he also stared at her.

“Unless…” Leia proceeded to talk, but Victor cut her off. “Unless your father secretly took responsibility for her treatment at that time and you had no idea about it.” He gazed at Leia, and his eyes fluttered in realization.

“Why wasn’t I told?… Why would he take responsibility for her treatment in secrecy? ” Leia asked with a deepened face, and her eyes darted around in confusion. “That day, he told me he didn’t care and that he wouldn’t take responsibility for her treatment… so why? I don’t understand.” She shook her head and stared at Victor as though asking for answers from him.

“No idea… there is more to this that we don’t know.” Victor brushed his hair back with his fingers and took a deep breath.

“Is this all the files that you were able to get?” Leia asked and glanced at the files on the mini table.

“Yes… I didn’t have much time to scan through all the files and know which to take.” Victor shook his head and plopped down on the couch.

“Then there must be more…” Leia smiled mysteriously and slightly nodded her head. “We need to find a way to break into that office… I need to check those files and the computers… I want to find out what happened to my mother!”

“Leia, there are CCTV cameras everywhere… We can’t just break into there. ” Victor raised his eyes to glance at her and his brow arched. “You know, my father’s hospital is one of the biggest hospitals, and security is very tight.”

“I know but…”

“Leia, I understand-” Victor stood up from the couch and grabbed her by the shoulder. “-But before we do anything, we need to plan it out and check the consequences, Okay… we can’t just go ahead.”

“You’re right.” Leia took a deep breath and walked away from him to take a seat on the couch.

“How about we go out for lunch?” Victor suggested with a smile on his face. However, Leia’s eyes suddenly dilated and she hurriedly stood up from the couch.. “The breakfast.”
