"Master, Young Master, Young Lady… this is where we all got tricked by Master Zora," Stephen said.
"What do you mean?" Katherine asked.
"Master Zora said that their marriage would be nullified if Young Master Zora denies it after he wakes up, this would be applied even after they have gotten married. Sir, don't you think he is laying a trap for us?" Stephen emphasized.
Oh god! That's true!
"Dad! What shall I do?" Cedric asked.
"Marry her and make a baby," Stephen said before Regan could say something.
Regan knew… even if it's illegal, that stubborn kid from the Zora family will do anything for his sister. He was in a dilemma. When he heard Stephen's words again, he felt it was right! That was the best plan ever!
"Uncle Stephen! You are the best!" Katherine ran up to him and gave him a massive bear hug.
Stephen patted himself on the back for being witty.
"But… there is a problem," Stephen spoke up again.
"What is it?" Regan asked.
"Master, I mentioned this to you in the morning too," Stephen reminded him.
"I got it!" Regan said.
"Dad and Uncle, What's wrong?" Katherine and Cedric couldn't help but frown at his words.
"Master knows it," Stephen replied.
"I will be back in a minute," Regan said and got up from his seat.
After a few minutes, Regan returned humming a tune.
"Son, I got this for you!" Regan handed him a book. Katherine blushed when she saw the title of this book.
Cedric took the book curiously and saw the title. "KAMASUTRA" the title read. "Dad! I am better at this!" He said, almost yelling.
"If you are better, then why does your wife have to take the initiative in the morning? You are such a shame to me! When I was young there were countless young women who came to me, so that they could sleep with me, that too for more than two times. While you… you can't even satisfy your wife!" Regan said.
"Dad… I need to go back to my room. I forgot to reply to an email that my academy sent me," Katherine excused and left the room.
"Who said she took the initiative?" Cedric couldn't help but ask.
"In the morning, Stephen heard everything! A woman riding a horse! Even though it's a good experience, the man should be the one to do it first. Sigh… you are such a shame. She was fierce. And you are running away from her. Sigh… I am disappointed in my death. This way you won't have any kids. My dream of becoming a grandpa would be burned into ashes! Sigh… Wifey, I am sorry. We gave birth to an incompetent son," Regan sighed dramatically.
Cedric: "…"
"Dad! You got uncle Stephen to eavesdrop on us! This is outrageous!" Cedric burst out.
"You brat! Sit down!" Regan said, slapping his palm on the table.
"Dad, we didn't do anything in the morning," Cedric said in a tired voice.
"What?! Don't lie! Don't be embarrassed about it! I know it hurts your ego. Don't be a loser next time," Regan said as he tried to 'comfort' his son. Note the point tried.
"Dad! When I asked her to do that with me! She made me run around the whole room and beat me up. She is still not over her breakup. It's rude to force her to do it with me," Cedric tried to reason with him.
Regan sighed. "At least I got a capable daughter-in-law. I am happy about that." Regan said. Suddenly he started acting like an old grandpa who was going to die in the next second.
Cedric sighed in exasperation. He returned to his study and worked for hours. No one disturbed him till he got a phone call from Eleanor. When she asked him to accompany her to her brother's hospital, he readily agreed. He can at least flirt with his woman.
He went to his room and changed his clothes. He got rid of the workaholic expression and turned into a casual man. A man of Eleanor. Satisfied with his clothes, he walked out.
"Where are you going?" Regan asked who was in the hall.
"Eleanor called me," he said and walked away without even giving a second look to his father.
Regan sighed. He just hoped he would use this time perfectly.
Cedric met up with Eleanor and Myna within half an hour. They followed his car as they drove to the hospital.
Cedric took them to the hospital VVIP ward. Eleanor and Myna were astonished by the flamboyant design of the hospital. Eleanor was sure that she never even heard about this hospital.
"I never heard about this hospital," Eleanor said.
"This is never known to the others," Cedric replied.
"What does it mean?" She asked.
"This is for the Emerson's only. Not for outsiders," he answered.
"Oh… I thought you would have sent him to 'The Healer's Hospital'" Eleanor added.
"That lousy hospital isn't compared to the Emerson's hospital," he said as he boasted.
"It's beautiful," Eleanor said.
"Indeed," Cedric responded.
"I will call the attending doctor," Cedric added. Eleanor nodded and went with Myna to sit in the resting lounge.
"Aww… he is so cute and handsome," Myna chirped like a buzzing bee.
Eleanor held her head at her best friend's voice.
Sigh… she would just let her be. If she provokes her… she would go on and on. Resigning to her fate, she just let her ramble on while keeping quiet.
"I hope he recovers here," Eleanor said suddenly, making Myna's mouth shut.
"You should have asked me to shut up directly." Myna pointed. Myna could see through her friend's innocent little plot. And she knew how to deal with it.
"I don't mean that!" Eleanor said.
"Yeah… yeah…" Myna mocked.
"I will ask Cedric to arrange you here for my brother," Eleanor said, not wanting her friend to mock her.
"No!" Myna said suddenly.
"Why?" Eleanor asked.
"I don't know but this is wrong. This is their private hospital. If I am right, only their trusted people would be here. I guess… this is not the place where you should recommend me." Myna said.
Indeed, what she said was right. Only people who were trusted by the Emerson's would work here. And Myna was not someone from the family who the Emerson's trusted. As the minutes passed, Eleanor realized that she was so thoughtless.
Cedric returned with the doctor. Then Eleanor, Myna and Cedric returned to the doctor's office with him. "Miss. Zora, We have studied your brother's case. It's just that his body and brain got severely damaged from the reports we received. We performed a few tests to get a clear result. They will come tomorrow evening. When we have them, only then can I give you the results."
"And for your relief, all I can say is… his external and internal injuries were healed. But not his head injury. We will let you know more when we get the reports. You can go and see him, but not for a long time," the doctor said with a kind smile.
"Thank you, Doctor," Eleanor said and smiled back at him.
Myna knew these things too. She wanted to hear the main things about Martin's brain condition. Maybe she needs to visit here again tomorrow with Eleanor.
"Shall we go to his ward?" Cedric said, breaking the thick silence.
Eleanor and Myna nodded their heads at him.
The three visited the room. Eleanor wanted to say a lot to her brother, but she decided not to since Cedric and Myna were both there. She has to find some time to come and talk to him alone. There was a lot to say to him. They stayed for an hour before leaving.
"Eleanor, I got a call. I need to see a patient, suddenly his condition turned serious. Bye, take care!" Myna was about to run.
"Myna, take my car," Eleanor offered her.
Myna was grateful for Eleanor's words. It's not that she couldn't afford to hire a taxi, it's just that she doesn't have the time to wait for the taxi. She directly dashed into the car and started driving away.
"She is such a workaholic," Eleanor muttered.
"How about we have dinner?" Cedric said.
Eleanor nodded.
They both went to a nearby restaurant run by Emerson's group. Seeing Cedric, the staff directly guided them to the VVIP room.
"Order what you want," Cedric said, passing the menu.
"You are the owner here. You should know the best dishes." Eleanor said with a smile.
"Fine," he smiled.
"Get the specialities," Cedric said to the waiter.
"No desserts," Eleanor added.
The waiter nodded and left. Since it's the order from the big boss, the staff worked accordingly and served the food to them faster. In half an hour, the food arrived in their room. The staff served them meticulously.
Eleanor took a bite from her food. Instantly the taste of the dish hit her palate making her moan in pleasure. "It's so tasty," Eleanor moaned as she took another bite.
Cedric smiled at her. He watched as she ate her food like a kid. Aww… this girl is too cute when she ate food. He couldn't help but smile at her posture.
