Chapter 33

Jaycee's POV

I was in the middle of a meeting when I recieved calls from Leona. She just don't know when to stop huh? It just makes me want to love her more.

Oo, sinaktan niya ako, but I still love her. I have to stop myself in order for her to realize what I really am to her. I need to distance myself first.

I ignored her messages and her calls, not because I am angry at her but I want her to find out for herself if she really loves me or not. She also packs me lunch and brings it here in the office, herself. Pero iba ngayon, dahil driver niya ang nagdala nito. I wonder why?

I was about to eat, when Kate went inside my office. She always have lunch with me here ever since Leona and I fought. Kate is the only person who knows about our fight. She's a good person so I trust her that she won't tell anyone. My parents doesn't know about this, and I don't have any plan on telling them. This our problem so we'll deal with it ourselves.

"I was going to buy us lunch, but I figured Leona will cook something again. And I was right." she smiled.

"Yeah." I simply said.

She sat on the chair infront of me and started preparing her food. Ever since I ignored Leona, I don't want to eat outside anymore, so we just eat our lunch here, in my office.

"So, how long are you going to ignore her?" she asked.

"I don't know."

"What do you mean 'you don't know?' So you're saying that, it's okay for you to see her suffer?" she asked.

"No. I didn't say that. I just want her to realize for herself what I really am for her."

"Isn't it enough that she always visits here just to give you, your lunch, call and text you all the time? I bet she misses you so much right now. Can you imagine how painful for her to go home everyday without a husband?" she said. That made me think.

"Yeah maybe you're right. I miss her too, you know." I said.

"Well then, go back to her. You're just making each other suffer. If you forgave her already, then what's taking you so long to get back to her? It's been almost 2 weeks Jaycee." she said.

She's right. I think it's time to go back to my wife. 2 weeks is enough. I believe she already realized everything and know she loves me,  and I love her too.

I picked up my phone to call her but I was alarmed on the last message she sent me.

Leona :

[We're getting ambushed.]

I stood up and ran to the parking lot while I was trying to contact her phone.

"Come on, Leona, pick up." I whispered to myself.

"The subscriber cannot be reached please try---"

Ugh. I put down my phone, went inside my car and drove to thier building.

I called her dad but he didn't pick up either. Did they get ambushed together? Sweat started to roll on my face. I'm so worried, I can't contact her or her dad. I thought about her mom.

I dialed her mom. Thank god it was ringing.

"Hello tita --" I didn't get to finish what I was about to say because she cried.

["I-I was about t-to c-call you Jaycee. We're here at the hospital."] she sobbed again. I'm so nervous.

I ended the call and went straight to the hospital.

I parked my car and ran towards the building. I saw tita sitting in a chair crying while I saw tito walking back and forth. Tito was safe. What happened? Why did Leona got ambushed? There was a lot of questions in my mind.

I ran towards tito for information. Tita stood up and gave me a tight hug.

"Mabuti at nandito ka na. Leona is in the OR right now." Tito said.

"What happened?" I asked. I'm starting to panic sh8.

"I asked her to go to MFC but she said her car is broken so Emman offered her a ride. Hinarang sila on the way to MFC ng mga armadong lalaki."

He explained to me the details. I'm so worried.

I just sat in a chair, intertwined my hands together and waited for Leona's operations to finish. She's been there for almost 2 hours now.

Then I remembered Kate. I dialed her number. She aswered it.

["Hey, what happened? You just storemd out of the office without saying a word. You just left me clueless, Jaycee. Care to explain?"] She sounded pissed.

"I'm sorry, something happened with Leona, she's in the hospital right now. I'll explain to you soon."

["What? Is she okay?"] she said, worried.

"We don't know yet. She's still in the operating room."

["Oh my god. I'll try to visit there okay?"] She said.

"Okay."

I ended the call. I called mom and dad to inform them about what happened. They said they're on thier way.

While waiting outside the operating room, I can't help but worry. I'm scared about what would happen to her. Maybe that was why she was calling me, but I didn't answer it. I kept blaming myself. I should've answered her calls. If only I lowered my pride, she wouldn't be in this situation.
