Vendetta: Mysteries that surround it

Chapter 24

"Where's the infirmary?" Logan asked Bianca while turning his head a little. Still keeping a hold on her hand.

Not having the energy to speak Bianca just pointed her finger in the direction.

As they entered there was no medical assistance there.

"Where's the doctor?" Logan asked looking around the clinic.

"It's lunchtime, she probably went to grab some food," Bianca mumbled.

He let out a frustrated sigh. He let go of her hand and grabbed her shoulder instead.

Bianca looked up at him trying to figure out what he was doing.

Making her sit on one of the clinic beds,  he went rummaging where the medicines were kept.

After he finally found an ointment and some cotton, he took a seat on the stool in front of her.

"What are you doing?" Bianca finally asked.

"Your hand," he asked her while extending his hand.

" And what gives you the idea I will trust you with my injury? Are you even sure that's the medicine you are supposed to put on me?" she asked him while pointing at the medicine in his hand.

Logan scoffed in disbelief.

Wasn't she terrified a second ago? How is she suddenly so cocky again?

Logan took a deep breath," Ma'am trust me, I have taken care of all my wounds myself since childhood. I know what I am doing."

Bianca bit her lips in guilt and handed him her hand.

She was not stupid ok? She knew what meaning that statement held. That he had no one around him since childhood to take care of him.

"I-I did not mean it like that." Bianca spoke while staring straight at his face, who was busy treating her red wrist, "I knew you were putting the right medicine. I have seen Alexa do that many times since childhood, she often came home injured. Mom said she got into fights at school, but I highly doubt that. No one ever tells me about anything." She mumbled the last part.

She thought he did not hear her since he gave her no response. But he heard all of it, every bit of it. Word. By. Word.

"Sorry, I was just trying to tease you." She said finally.

Logan's eyes widened and he looked up at her face," You have nothing to be sorry about, ma'am."

"You are not mad at me?" she asked him with a hopeful smile.

"What right do I have to, ma'am? Of course, I am not mad at you." he lowered his head again, looking at her wrist.

Bianca's smile shrunk," Oh ok." she turned her head towards the other direction.

"We are done," Logan said getting up.

Before Bianca could say something, a voice came from the door, "Oh! Bianca?"

Both their heads turned to look at the college doctor standing by the door, she walked towards them, "What brings you here?"

Before Bianca could reply, Logan bowed in front of her a little, "I will be standing outside ma'am", and left the room.

Bianca turned towards the doctor and said, "I am fine miss. Sorry for the trouble, I will take my leave."

And she ran out behind Logan.

"Lucas!" she called out to him.

He turned around his head waiting for her to continue.

She stood right in front of him, "Call Robin. Let's go home." She said and walked towards the exit.

"Yes, ma'am."

When they exited the building Bianca's car already stood there.

Without a word, she quickly got in and closed her eyes leaning in the back seat.

She had her earphones on and looked like she was asleep.

"What happened?" Robin asked Logan on the way home.

Logan sighed," Don't ask. Long story." Robin did not push it any further.

Just as they reached home Bianca stormed into the house, with Logan tagging behind her.

She noticed Alexa asleep on the couch from the corner of her eye as she ran up to her room.

Logan just slightly shook his head and turned to see Alexa asleep.

"She is a billionaire?" he scoffed," she looks like a nomad sleeping on the couch."

Something came into his head as he thought of pouring water on her face to wake her up, he picked up the glass kept on the table ready to execute the plan.

When a voice startled him," Don't. You. Dare. If you still value your life."

He heard Alexa speak with her eyes still closed. He gulped and kept back the glass in its original spot.

Alexa opened her eyes and sat up straight on the sofa.

She turned her head towards the huge clock hanging in the drawing room.

Frowning a little she asked him," Why are you two back so early?"

"Do you know any Nate in Bianca's college?" he questioned her without answering what she asked.

"Nate Miller?" She asked raising her eyebrow.

"Maybe. I don't know his surname."

"Yeah, it must be Nate Miller." Alexa said while ruffling her hair," Yeah I know him, why?"

"Who is he?"

She narrowed her eyes at him," Bianca's fiance, again why?"

Logan's eyes widened," FIANCE?! Have you ever actually met him?"

Alexa blinked her eyes," Umm, No? He is not my fiance, is he? Not that I will let any of them choose one for me. And I have anyways never taken any interest in my cousin's life. His father is a business partner, that's why I know him." she told him nonchalantly.

Logan let out a heavy breath," He is an absolute asshole! She's terrified of him!! What the fuck is wrong with you?!"

Alexa stared at his face and raised her eyebrow," Lucas, you are talking to your boss right now, watch your tone. And why the fuck are you getting worked up about Bianca's fiance being an asshole?"

Logan grit his teeth," I am surprised you are not worked up about YOUR sister's fiance being an asshole!"

And he walked out of the house.

Alexa pokes her tongue inside her cheek," What the fuck is wrong with people around me?! What does he want me to do now? Break their engagement?"

She sighed, thinking for a minute or two," Should I talk to her?"

" But what will I talk to her about?!! We have never spoken properly to each other." She let out a tired groan and got up on her feet.
