THE QUEEN (Season 1: Completed)

Chapter 53

Marcus POV

"Let me treat her wound first." Mabilis na wika ko kaya agad na napalingon si Lolo sa akin. Tumaas ang kilay nito at isinilid ang kamay sa bulsa na laging ginagawa nito kapag nagtitimpi na sa galit. Inarok niya ako ng tingin.

"Really?"

"It won't take long, Lolo. I promise!" I reasoned. "Susunod agad ako."

"Did you forget that we hired Nurses and Doctors in this Academy, Marcus? Let them do their job because that's what they're being paid for." Striktong tugon nito. "Stay beside with Grace." Utos niya. Nilingon ko si Grace na umaastang parang isang mahinhing babae sa likod ni Mommy.

'The fuck?!'

Napalingon ako ng sabay na tumawa si Tito Seb at Spencer.

"Come on, Don Miguel. What's wrong with helping this lady out? You should be at least proud of your grandson because he's willing to help." Tanong ni Tito Seb habang nando'n pa rin ang amusement sa kanyang mukha.

"Mr. Namuzawa, I'm sorry to disrespect but Grace is our family member now and it is not right to leave her side for nonsense things and besides, that girl is not his responsibility at all. Allow me to discipline my grandchild in my own terms, please Señior." Napasipol si Spencer sa sagot ni Lolo habang natawa naman si Tito Seb.

"Sure! Sure! Ha! Ha! Ha! Don't get offended, Amigo. I'm just asking and besides, there's nothing wrong with his offer to help, unless you're giving it another meaning." Tito Seb winked at me.

"And I think that you should also be concerned about this woman's welfare since she brought an honor to your Academy. Not to mention that she's also enrolled in Montreal, that alone actually makes you accountable for her well-being inside the school premise for she's one of your responsibility as the owner of this institution and not just some random nonsense like what you've said earlier." Tumawa ulit ito at umiling. "Beware, her parents might get disappointed once they heard it from you, Amigo. This is an elite school and they should receive first class treatment. Don't you think so?" Kinabahan ako bigla dahil hindi nakasagot si Lolo sa pambabara ni Tito Seb. Nakangiti ito pero ramdam ko ang pagiging sarkastiko ng boses niya.

Napa-ubo si Daddy sa sinabi nito.

'What is he trying to do?'

"T-That's my principle, Mr. Namuzawa. Family is vital for me. And of course, I hired professional medical staffs to attend and give them proper care for cases like her. It's best that the team will be the one to handle her instead of my grandson. That's just what I am trying to say." Pasimpleng sinamaan ako ni Lolo ng tingin kaya agad na iniwas ko ang mga mata ko sa kanya. Daddy shook his head while I saw Mom rubbed Dad's shoulder. Nagkibitbalikat si Tito Seb at umiling, tila hindi nagustuhan ang paliwanag ni Lolo.

"Well then, I'll accompany this girl instead, old man. And thanks but no thanks. I'll handle her myself. We don't want to trouble you anymore." Tawa naman ni Spencer habang sarkastikong binibigyan ng diin ang mga kataga kaya natahimik si Lolo. "I'll be right back before you know it, Sofu. Abeonim is on his way down here."

"Totta. Butler Zanji will inform you our location later, Mago."

'Mugo? Mago? Mogu-Mogu as in drink? Huhh?!!! Wala akong maintindihan!'

"Hai, Sofu." Spencer answered.

'Shufo? Chupo? Tufo? Huhh???! Are they talking about food?'

"Kawaiko~chan, I'll see you later, okay? Don't go home first. I know you already." Baling ni Tito Seb kay Arken. Namamangha pa rin ako dahil kilala pala nito si Arken.
