Kenzo let them off after Bailey bailed out. He stayed with his wife, waiting for her to wake up. Secretary Bryan entered with lunch while Stacey was working with Kenzo on the documents. Currently, Stacey was working as one of the executives in Caleb's company. She resigned yesterday and is working at Caleb right away. She wanted to stay with Victoria to accompany her and Kenzo and because she's worried about her best friend.
"Sir, President Kaisley and Caleb are here," Bryan said.
"Thank you, Bryan."
Kaisley had flowers while Caleb had Victoria's favorite snack from the Tea house.
"Love," Kenzo whispered to Victoria's ear. "Cal and K are here with your favorite snacks from the Tea House."
Victoria didn't respond.
"I'll put it in the fridge," Caleb said and he sat on the sofa with a sigh. "So, what did her grandmother say?"
"She'll ground Bailey, Dana, and Katarina. They won't be able to come out for two months." Kenzo said.
"That's harsh," Stacey smirked. "How about Bailey's meetings?"
"His brother will take over," Kenzo answered. Somehow, he noticed that Victoria's hand moved and she slowly opened his eyes. "Hey, baby…" Kenzo called softly.
"Kenz," Her throat was dry and hoarse. She closed her eyes again. Kenzo carefully adjusted her bed and sat beside her. "Water…"
"Alright,"
Stacey quickly stood and fetched her warm water. She put the stainless steel straw and Kenzo let her drink it. She sighed after sipping and take another sipped again. Kenzo carefully kissed the bandage around her forehead.
"What happened?" She asked and looked at everyone.
"Anything hurt?" Kenzo asked.
"My head and my face…"
Kenzo pressed the button to call a doctor. While they are waiting, Caleb and Kaisley introduce to her the new drinks from the Astera Tea House.
"I can't wait to drink that!" She said excitedly as everyone laughed except Kenzo.
"Let's wait for your doctor and ask about it."
"Okay…"
The doctor came with the nurses. She checked her eyes and on what she felt and Kenzo was still anxious about her condition. She said that she's fine and it's just a headache. So, the doctor gave her painkillers so she can eat. The concussion might have caused her fever, vomiting, dizziness, and headache. She seemed to be okay but she kept complaining about the pain in her back head.
After the doctor gave her medicine, Secretary Bryan delivered her very own special lunch that is easy to digest. Kenzo fed her although she could move her body. Stacey even joked around.
"When I get sick, I want a VVIP room too. Or just VIP." Stacey said.
"Don't wish for that," Victoria said. "It feels like my first time here." She mumbled.
"You don't get sick easily," Stacey said and sipped on the cold fruit tea. Victoria watched Stacey sipped on it to make her jealous.
"Love, I want one too." Victoria pouted at Kenzo. Kenzo was silent but he was attending to his wife. This is the second time that she stayed in the hospital and he was attending her. The first one was when she nearly got raped by whoever people who drugged her.
Kenzo gave her the cold fruit tea drink as fresh fruits were swirling on the drink. She smiled at it and continued eating.
"Get well soon, okay?" Caleb said.
"I will."
"I have to attend a few things, Duke Kenzo," Kaisley said and bowed her head.
"Thank you."
"Don't worry. You won't overwork yourself. I'll take care of the rest."
"It's fine," Kenzo said. "I will work here."
"Yes, sir."
Stacey and Victoria cling to their plastic cups as they sipped on the fruit teas.
Vivien heard from the maid that Victoria was hurt. Her husband recently put a spy on the Parson Residence and it said that they were forced to keep quiet as they kept the injured Victoria in the guest room. That was yesterday and Vivien already jumped into their Private jet to reach Lwazi. Although she had a lot of things to do for the upcoming event, Vivien wanted to be there for her daughter.
At the time that she reached Lwazi, she had already called Kenzo that she's coming and she's with a female bodyguard. At the time that they let her in, Victoria was currently eating her food and Vivien's heart felt like it's been crushed.
"Lady Vivien!" Victoria exclaimed as Vivien took heavy steps toward the bed and reached Victoria's hand.
"I heard what happened."
"Did you fly from Marduque to here?" Victoria asked. Vivien didn't answer. She doesn't want to lie but she has to.
"I was picking up a few things from Lwazi and I came by after I heard the news."
Stacey titled her head as she watched Vivien become motherly toward Victoria. She almost thinks that Vivien could be obsessed with Victoria. She was always caring toward her. She looked at Kenzo who probably knows everything about his wife.
"You have to eat more. I'll stay in Lwazi for a while to take care of you. Is that alright?" Vivien asked as Victoria felt a little uncomfortable.
"I called Lady Vivien to help me. I will take care of a few things. Next week, we are leaving Lwazi." Kenzo said. "Is it alright for you if Lady Vivien attends you?"
"Okay." She nodded. "But you'll be with me during the night."
"Of course," Kenzo smiled at her.
"I am not a bother to you?" Victoria asked Lady Vivien as she shook her head.
"No, dear. Tell me what you want to eat and drink. I'll make it for you."
Victoria smiled and Vivien looked down at her food.
"I'm going to go to my hotel first." Vivien caressed her hair. "I'll be right back in an hour."
"Take your time."
Regina stared at Katarina and Dana who were kneeling in front of her. She hit them with her crane and she doesn't care now. The two hits that they received are nothing compared to the pain and abuse that they did to Victoria. The time that Bailey came, Regina's men grabbed him, made him kneel in front of her and he started hitting him with her crane in the arm.
"You almost killed your daughter!" She screamed at him and Bryant Parson, her second son, held his mother to stop her. Bailey stayed on kneeling although his body aches. "From now on, you are going to stay in the guest house. Not here in the mansion. You can't go out, the three of you!"
"But grandma!" Katarina exclaimed.
Regina put down her crane and slapped Katarina on her right cheek.
"I had enough of you, brat." Regina gritted her teeth.
"Mom, please calm down," Bryant exclaimed. He was worried and so stressed with lots of things going on. He didn't want to take the position. He only wanted to manage the business and everything was fucked up because of what happened.
Secretary Yazmin approached Regina and gave the phone to her.
"It's Kenzo," Secretary Yazmin whispered. Regina breathed slowly as she turned back.
"Kenzo,"
"Grandma, I hope that you aren't stressing yourself. I think you should distance yourself from those three. Victoria is worried."
"How is she? Is she awake?"
"Yes, and she's worried. She's currently with a friend."
"Can I speak to her?"
"Of course, wait a moment."
After five seconds, she heard Victoria's voice from the other line.
"Grandma,"
"Hello, dear. How are you?"
"I'm doing fine. Grandma," Victoria paused. "Please don't stress yourself on what happened."
"Darling, why wouldn't I? Your father nearly killed you. I won't tolerate them again."
"I am worried about your health. How about you go out for another vacation?" Victoria suggested.
"Don't worry about it. I'm fine. I'll visit you tomorrow. Okay?"
"Okay. I'll see you, grandma." Victoria's voice was cheerful although she knew that she's forcing herself. She hung up and gave it to secretary Yazmin.
Lady Regina has new rules for the three of them. She will limit their expenses. She hated to say that she had to discipline them again even though they were already adults and had a mind. But she has no choice. Her rules need to be adapted and she'll have someone to facilitate it. She'll take Jenny with her as she will have her stress-free vacation. She'll let the boys handle it. They are grounded for two months now and she will make sure that Katarina and Dana won't spend a lot of money. It's time that they should learn how to budget things.
The time that Regina reached her bedroom. Jenny approached her and curtsied.
"Did you find her?" She asked.
"No, Madam. There's no trace of Vivien. But, that night~~" Jenny extended a photo. "The car that she was in crashed into a river."
Regina's handshakes as she reaches it.
"The investigation found out that Vivien should be inside it. A knife was found and there are no corpses inside. That was years ago. It's also in the news."
Secretary Yazmin showed it to Regina as her heart felt like it's been stabbed many times.
"What should I tell Victoria?" Regina panicked. "My poor girl…" Tears rolled down her cheeks as her chest tightened even more. Secretary Yazmin hated to show it to her but she insisted.. They comforted Regina who wept while mumbling Victoria and Vivien's name.
