My love, my destiny (Completed)

chapter 10

"You know what? I don't have time with your sh*t! Can you just leave me alone?! I am busy finding a way to find MY daughter!" -Zander

JEWEL's POV

My chest tightened upon hearing what he answered the reporter. I was staring at the TV for I didn't know how long. The news about Camila was already finished and they were showing another topic but my mind wasn't on the TV anymore.

When I was pulled out of my deep thoughts, I picked up my phone and dialed Lovely's number but she wasn't answering her phone. Maybe she still in her class. I tried Helena's number and after 4 rings, she answered.

"What's up Jewel? Lovely told me that you're sick. Are you okay now?" she immediately said before I could say anything first.

"Yes. I still have a little bit of fever but I will be fine, I guess. Anyway, I called to ask you if you can take a look at the information about Camila and take a look of Za-Mr. Montealegre's number in the school's record, please. I really need to talk to him" I bit my bottom lip because I almost said his first name.

"O-okay. I'll see what I can do" I thanked her and then ended the call. My body still felt weak and I suddenly felt drowsy.

The drowsiness was maybe the side effect of the medicine I took a while ago. I lay down and closed my eyes. I suddenly realized that my mind felt so tired of continuous thinking about what had happened yesterday. I realized that after the kidnapping, Camila and Zander never left my mind. They occupied my whole being. After a couple of minutes more, I fell asleep.

I groaned with irritation when I heard Tina knocking at the door. I didn't want to get up but she kept on knocking that I didn't have a choice but to get up and open the door.

"Sorry to disturb you but you have visitors" I got confused for a while and wondered who might be my visitors but then I quickly remembered that Lovely told me that they would be coming over after their classes.

"Okay. I'll just fix myself and I'll be down shortly" I closed the door when she left and I quickly went to the restroom. I suddenly realized that I felt fine now. I touched my neck and forehead and thankfully my fever was gone.

I stared at my refection on the mirror and I could see dark circles around my eyes. My face looked pale and my hair was disheveled. I heaved a sigh and brushed my teeth. I also took a quick bath and I felt so refreshed after that. After I got dressed, I went downstairs and I saw Lovely and Helena watching TV at the living room while having some snacks.

When they heard my approaching steps, they both looked over my direction and I almost laughed out loud with their reaction. They looked very worried while studying me from head to toe. They even stood up.

"What's happening to the both of you? Why are you staring at me like that?" I asked them and sat on the couch, between them. They sat back.

"Well, you look fine now. We're just worried" Helena said and I smiled. Even though I just met them more than a month ago, we were already friends like we've known each other for a long time. They were both kind and nice friends.

"Thank you for visiting me. I am fine now. Maybe I'm just tired" They looked into each other before they looked back at me. Judging from the way they looked at me, they wanted to ask me something.

"What? You're making me nervous staring at me like that. C'mon, tell me what you want to say" I encouraged them while chuckling softly.

"Hrm. This is the number of Mr. Montealegre" Helena said and handed me a piece of small paper which was folded neatly. I took it reluctantly and put it inside the pocket of my shorts.
