Chapter 67: Chapter 67
Zamiel's POV
"Where is the ICU?" I asked her.
"Just down, the last room by the left '' she informed him, and then she walked away….more like she ran off.
He walked down to the room with sweaty palms, he took a deep breath. Just when he was about to open the door and walk in, a soft hand came on his shoulders, stopping his movements.
"I see you have bribed your way out of jail" the doctor raised an eyebrow at him, she didn't look very pleased to see him.
It got Zamiel wondering if they had been enemies before he met her at the hospital. First, she tried to get him arrested, and when she failed, she started to look for other ways to trouble him.
"What is the matter with you?" He got pissed, if not for the fact that she was a woman.
He would have given her an ear-deafening slap, accompanied by a teeth-removing blow. It took a lot of self restraint for him to control the level of anger he was feeling.
"I don't allow abusers to see my patients, that is the matter with me" she stood in front of the door, with both her hands behind her, and holding on to the handle of the door.
"Just get out of my way…I am not in the mood to exchange words with you right now" Zamiel spoke very softly.
He wanted to drag her off the way, but he couldn't get himself to do it. The fact that she was a woman didn't change, he needed to give her the respect she deserves.
"Don't think that I am your fiancée who would just let you beat her up until she is hospitalized" The doctor was far too bold for her own good, that it got Zamiel wondering if she was challenging him to a fight.
"Don't let me get security" he warned her, and she scoffed.
She found his words far too silly
"I work here, I should be the one telling you that, '' she smiled to one side of her face.
"Yeah, you work here. But I own here, and by all laws both natural laws and man made, I am above you when it comes to this hospital, now get out before you lose your job!" he finally made himself push her out of the way, as he walked into the ICU.
"Wait? What do you mean by that? Do you really own this place? I don't get you?"She went after him, asking him too many questions at the same time.
Zamiel had always been a person of few words, more like Kayden, and he wanted things to remain that way.
"Go and ask whoever is above you. And don't try to pester me again, or else. You might just end up going to jail yourself" he warned her, and focused all of his attention on a still-unconscious Hannah.
She was in such a horrible condition that she required oxygen, she couldn't breathe on her own anymore.
At Hannah's mansion
"Where is my daughter!!!" Her father was throwing a tantrum, shouting at both Hannah's stepmom and Joan.
"I….I….don't know.
She ran away yesterday, and ever since then, we haven't seen her" Her stepmom managed to say some words.
"Can you listen to yourself? You told me you were going to punish her, and now you are telling me she ran away from home.
There are so many workers in this mansion. Such a big house, with tens and hundreds of people leaving in it, and nobody not even a single soul saw her leaving.
Are you trying to tell me that my daughter just vanished from this house!!!" He yelled, looking so distorted, even Joan was speechless. Her lips were quivering, and her tongue had become so hot.
She didn't know whether she would ever be able to speak again..
"Until I get my daughter hail and healthy in this house, I do not want to see any of your faces. Now get out!. ..Leave my presence!!!!" He sent them away, and Joan took her shaky legs out of his presence.
Her mother wanted to get close to him, but the red look in his eyes assured her that she was going to be dead meat if she even tried to do that.

"Why are you acting like this…haven't I paid you enough money to satisfy me?" Joan was discussing with a fine young man, as they sat on the bed together.
"I don't know, I still need more money. I told you I'll be traveling. You did promise to take care of my expenses.
And now I don't know why you are giving me just twenty thousand dollars, what I'm I supposed to do with it?" He wasn't happy.
Sorry, I forgot to introduce this fine young man to you. His name is James, her supposed boyfriend….at least that is what she thinks.
But to him, she was his ATM…he would give her two to three rounds and end up getting huge amounts of cash to flirt with other girls.
"That is the only amount I have for now" she pulled a long face, and not to make things look more complicated than they already were, he didn't want her to start being suspicious. He changed the topic.
"Not like she has the brains to think, '' he thought to himself and scoffed.
"It's fine, how's your stepsister, Hannah?" He suddenly brought up a topic, Joan didn't even want to hear about.
She didn't even want to hear her name. But James had a huge crush on her, if Hannah wasn't aware of his already existing relationship with Joan.
He would have dated her, initially, he wanted to go after Hannah, but Joan kept on throwing herself at him. So, he tried to play the two sisters at once, but that didn't work out at all for him.
"I don't understand you at all. Why do you keep asking about her? Hannah this? Hannah that?. Are you dating her, or are you dating me? Because I'm getting confused" She suddenly stood up from the bed out of annoyance.
