XXIII. Suspect Who?

Lorraine's

It's seems like eternity had passed since I woke up.

Since the nurses asked me to leave and did something to Victor.

They told me Giovanni will explain everything once he returned, but where the fuck is he now?

It feels like I've been waiting forever for Victor to wake up.

I badly want to eat something but I still can't leave Victor alone.

What if he wakes up and find no one?
I want him to see me the moment he woke up.

My train of thoughts was interrupted by my phone's alarm.

I opened my phone. "It's 6:00 in the morning." I sighed and turned it off.

I wish I could just wake you up by shaking you, but I guess that won't work...

And I won't do it as well, because I heard you're in critical condition...

I sighed as I kissed his forehead. "Get well soon, bitch." I whispered.

Then, the door opened.

"Lorr." Giovanni called.

I gasped.

I stood up and hugged him. "Where the fuck have you been?" I punched him in his shoulder.

"Ow!" He complained, smiling.

"I was worried! It's not easy for me to worry about two people I care about the most!" I confessed.

I sighed and walked towards Victor. "I hope he'll wake up sooner. I miss him" I confessed, holdimg Victor's hand.

I heard Giovanni sigh. "We captured Kelly."

I gasped and turned around. "What happened? Is she in prison? That bitch deserves to be in prison." I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist.

Giovanni sighed again. "It's complicated, Lorr." He looked at Victor and sighed.

I furrowed my brows in confusion. "What? It's pretty obvious that Kelly poisoned Victor. What's so complicated about that?"

Giovanni sighed and sat. "Yes, Kelly was responsible for sending Victor in this hospital but she's not responsible for making his situation worse."

I scoffed. "What? You're confusing me, Van."

"The food poison Kelly used will only make someone puke blood. We examined it." He sighed. "Someone injected lethal poison in his IV fluid. That almost killed him, Lorr. Not Kelly's food poison." He sighed.

I was shocked, worried and confused.

"What? Who will do the such thing?" I asked, tears falling from my eyes.

"That's what we're trying to figure out." Van stood up and walked towards me. "I don't want you to be caught in the middle. I want you to go back to the asylum---"

"What?! No!" I cut him off. "I won't just leave Victor here! Knowing that someone whom we don't know wants him dead!" I yelled, panicking.

"Hey." Van held my hand and squeezed it gently. "I promise you, I will take good care of Victor, if that's what you want. I'll guard him myself."

He caressed my cheek and wiped my tears. "And don't be afraid. Kelly's in custody of the City of London Police. The Detective Inspector is my closest friend, she'll let me know everything I need to know."

I sighed. "How about you?" I asked, staring at his blue eyes.

He sighed. "I'll help them figure out who did this to Victor. Maybe, it was an enemy or someone who holds a grudge on him." He held my hand again and looked at me in the eyes.

"For the mean time, do what you came here to do. I want you to continue your job as the asylum's psychiatrist. You'll find the nurses and other doctors in the main building, the building on top of the hill. They'll take care of you." He squezed my hand.

"Where will I find you?" I asked.

He smiled. "I'll still stay in my office, of course. But I need you to focus on your job first." He squeezed my hand again. "I'm hoping you can do a better job than Dr. James. I know you can." He smiled at me.

Then, a woman came in the room.

"Giovanni, Rami wants a word with you." The woman with pink hair said.

"Tell her I'm coming, Ashley." Giovanni told Ashley and she left.

I looked at Giovanni. "Rami?" I asked him, completely surprise. "Oh, don't tell me Rami is that Detective Inspector?" I laughed.

He nodded.

"Wow, like Father like Daughter." I chuckled. "Wow, Victor. I hope you heard that. I can't believe that your ex finally did it! I'm so happy for her. I hope you will also be happy for her once you heard about it... But I'm pretty sure you will." I thought to myself.

"My driver will pick you up at Nine tomorrow." Giovanni let go of my hand. "Safe travels."

Giovanni left and closed the door behind him.

Safe travels, indeed.
