As I wiped away my tears.. I looked over the investigator's shoulder, then heard her voice. "Mommy.." Rosemary, she was alive, But barely, her ankle was split in half by that pointy fence, Charles gave me a disgusted look, but I wasn't surprised, I rushed over to Rosemary and hugged her, my hands were bathed in her blood, my dress was ruined with it too, but I didn't care, I was relieved, but not because she was alive.
The ambulance got here as soon as they could, Sir Charles bought Rosemary time, without him, I'm sure I would've left my daughter to die, maybe I was messed up.
The ambulance took her away, and I went in to change my clothes, before I could open the door, her grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him, he looked at me dead in the eye when I faced him telling him off, I felt something.. I think it was fear, he was close, I could hear him breathing, panicking. "Do you have so little care for your daughter?" He said, my eyes widened, but I chuckled nervously. "What is up with you?" I caressed his cheek, smiling at him.
"Relax, I'll just go take a shower, I'm covered in blood, They'd think I'm the cause of this." I but what he said next, left me petrified. "It was your fault after all, you do count as a murderer." He let go of my wrist and backed away. "I'll be waiting here."
I said from far away. "You're welcomed to watch."
He crouched over to where it occurred, he wanted to make sure I would care enough to be at the hospital, I thought to myself, this isn't his job, Or is he not actually an investigator? he's well known, I had no choice but to shrug it off, don't want my mind kept busy.
I took a quick shower to wash off the blood, as I noticed a bruise on my arm, where was it from? I keep asking myself these questions, but I'm supposed to know, how do I forget these things.
I got dressed and flew through a flight of stairs and left the house in a rush, reaching the door to the outside I heard a beep, it was Charles, he had been waiting in the car.
He lowered the window and said loudly. "Took your sweet time." I hesitated to get in, but sat in the passenger seat, and he started driving downhill. It was a quiet ride, till he started asking questions again. "How long has Jenna been teaching your daughter?"
Is he serious..? He asked me that before, I just replied. "3 months and 2 days." I kept count of the days she's been teaching her, I always keep track of everything, for my own reasons. He laughed after I said it again. "You have a strong memory, not strong enough to remember what happened in Jules de rune." Jules de rune??? That sounds oddly familiar.
I scoffed, before I spoke he hit the breaks, I wasn't wearing my seatbelt, so my forehead hit the front seat. "Woah, we're here, Lady Lumer." He said before sarcastically asking if I was alright, I got up and stormed off into the hospital, and I thought he was well mannered, what a jerk.
I spoke to the receptionist, while fixing my hair, a nurse lead me to where she's kept, my daughter had a surgery, and I had to pay for it, I don't care about the money, I'm glad she's fine, or am I?
I brought her the doll from home, and gave it to her, she was happy about it, Charles gave my shoulder a pat, and told me to leave the room, he wanted to talk to Rose in private, I didn't trust him so I refused, but the nurse kicked me out.
I knew nothing of what happened in there, but I knew he was plotting something, he's no investigator, that's what I knew for sure, who is this man?
And what does he want from me and my daughter? His face was not of someone I know, but he knows something about me, I had the intention of getting rid of him, he walked out of the room and met up with me at the hallway.
"Rosemary will be kept here for a few days, till then, you are not allowed to visit Rose." What??? Is he insane?? He's not letting me see my own daughter? I will not let this man keep me away from my child!
tried to get some information out of him, why? He said. "You, Delora Lumer, are not capable of taking good care of your child, we're taking her away." I'm her mother, why didn't I have a say in this"
It was Jenna wasn't it, she told them, I'll fucking kill you, all of you, even if it risks custody of my daughter.
