Underneath His White Coat ( Montero Series # 5)

Chapter Twenty Eight

Chapter Twenty Eight

[Rafael's POV]

"Okay naman po si Ma'am Aria, Sir. Wala naman pong pagkakataong nakita naming nakausap siya ni Tavera o ng mga kadudadudang tao."

I can't be relax and be assured if Aria was okay. Alam ko kung pa'no makipaglaro si Tavera. I don't want the same thing to happen now with Aria. I fear that Aria will be used as a medium for Tavera to blackmail me.

I won't let that fucker get on his way. I have to do something but I have to make sure that Aria won't be involved.

I terribly missed her. Hindi ko makuhang maipaliwanag kung ga'no kasama ang pakiramdam ko na ayaw na niya na may komunikasyon pang mamagatin sa'min pero sa tingin ko ay ito rin ang tama sa ngayon para sa kanya.

She doesn't deserved to be assigned in another facility at bigyan ng mas mababang posisyon. My baby deserved her former position for working so hard. Hindi ko hahayaang tanggapin lang niya ang ginawa ng pamilya niya sa kanya dahil sa nangyari sa'min.  I could almost feel how hurt she must have felt right now. Kung meron mang dapat parusahan ako iyon. I hope I could be there for her pero alam kung hindi pwede.

" Just always make sure of her safety. Kung may mga kaduda duda kayong mapansin i report niyo kaagad sa'kin, Vince." I ended the call at nagbihis. I didn't have a decent sleep at the hospital pero hindi ko na 'to kailangang patagalin.

Makikipagkita ako kay lolo ngayon sa paborito niyang coffee shop. I didn't want to discuss this with him with Mom and Dad at the house. He requested to invite Mason kaya wala akong choice kundi pakisamahan ang isang iyon.

I arrived there first and then Mason came after.

" Are you going to ask your grandpa for help so we can start on our project?"

" This is not for that project, Mase. You shouldn't have come. We will discuss that thoroughly some other time."

"What a way to ruin my excitement," he stipulated with playful  eyes totally not offended at all.

Natigilan ako sa pagsagot nang makita si lolo sa entrance papasok kasama ng private nurse niyang si Miranda.

Mir was trying to assist him but he kept on insisting that he can.

Napahinga ako ng malalim, biglang nag alala sa kalagayan ni Lolo. He was too old and still hard headed. Granpa had suffered stroke twice. The first one was mild and the second one, I had to operate him for a little clot. It was the same operation that I performed with Aria's father that didn't need to open the skull. I only inserted a catheter through his leg to his brain to remove the clot.

Napatayo ako at sinalubong para alalayan si Lolo.

" I'll take it from here. Thanks Mir. Just order what you like. We will sit here."

"Si Senyorito," she smiled politely, tinampal naman ni Lolo ang kamay ko.

" Don't make me look too old Rafael Alessandro. Did you order my coffee?"

I heaved out. " You're only allowed a cup for today."

Mason greeted and slightly patted my grandfather's shoulder bago kami napa upo.

" What is it that you want from me this time, apo?" simula agad ni Lolo.

Tumikhim ako. " I want to get my share of inheritance  in advance from you, Lo."

" Why so sudden, apo? Do you plan on building that dream hospital?"

Napatingin ako kay Mason." I need to use it for a huge investment now, Lo, while planning that dream hospital."
