Chapter 88 - [Bonus ]Dead

Elena parents came to visit her and stayed with her until she had her dinner. Initially Julian had asked Lucas to leave and take rest but the man rejected her politely. Instead ask them to go home and take rest.

He was not going to leave her alone, so he asked Ron to send him his work to the hospital. He would be working from the hospital and asked him to handle Elena's work.

Lucas had called Daniel asking him to check her reports and go through them properly without neglecting her health. Hopefully the hospital was under them, so they couldn't let things go simple. 

Making a proper arrangement in her ward, he replaced the small bed with the big one, comfortable for both of them to share it. Elena was watching everything in complete awe. She just kept sighing watching him go all out from his comfort zone just for her.

This man was literally arranging thing as if they were shifting to the hospital for lifetime. After making sure he had done his job perfectly, Lucas came and sat next to her.

"Sunshine do you need anything to eat before going to bed" he ask making sure she don't sleep empty stomach.

"Lucas we just had our dinner and I don't want anything" she said. 

Elena turned her head to the window. She so wanted to walk and feel the cool breeze, but her wound was not even allowing to lift her leg.

Lucas saw her watching outside the window went close to her," Do you want to take a walk?" he asked. 

Elena turned to see him close to her, did he listened her thoughts again she thought. Nodding in yes she smiled like a happy kid.

Lucas asked the nurse to arrange a wheelchair for her. Slowly placing her on it, they made their way to the small walking area they had in their hospital.

Lucas took her to the nearby bench and stopped. Sitting next to her, they looked around the silent night. Elena closed her eyes recalling her accident. So many things happened in one day, but hopefully she managed to save herself from happening anything more.

Lucas watched her and took her hand intertwining their fingers together. He was thankful to god that nothing major happened or else he would have gone crazy. But why was that man following her.

When Lucas went to the base, Ethan had informed him about the car following her from the time she left her house. If he was stalking her it means someone had hired him to harm her, but who was the person who was keeping an eye on her. She was a simple girl who had no grudges with anyone, then why would anybody try to harm her.

Many things were going in his mind, Lucas felt his brain would burst thinking about the accident. He just wanted to confront the person and ask him why he followed her and who was behind her accident.

Elena felt the cool breeze on her body, when she opened eyes and turn to look at Lucas. He was in his thought, as his hold on her hand tighten. 

She could tell that something was bothering him. He was already tired by the whole incident that happened today. And she could see with his worn out face.

"Lucas what happened?" she said breaking his thoughts.

He turned to look at her and blinked looking at her concern face. Was he so obvious that she easily saw his thoughts. Brushing his mind, he smiled at her caressing their intertwined fingers. She was not in the position were he would let his thought in front of her. He needed to handle things by himself without getting her worried.

"Nothing sunshine, it's just that I'm tired" he said not telling his thoughts.

Elena saw him yawning, she felt that he was really sleepy. So without asking anything further, she said him to take her back to her room. Placing her on the bed, he laid next to her circling his arm around her waist. Hiding his face in the crook of her neck, he doze off to sleep.

Elena eyes were wide open as she had lost her sleep, thinking about the morning incident. She couldn't figure out, why would someone be after her. She kept thinking about if she had mistreated anyone or messed with anyone, but she couldn't think of any.

At one point, she thought about Grey son and father but both of them were rotting in jail for their sins. Then who was the person behind this and why was he after her.

After thinking for a while, she closed her eyes when she felt her eyes getting heavy due to the stress and constant thinking, when she slowly went into the abyss.

The next morning, Maira came along with Samantha to visit her. She couldn't feel at peace unless she sees her friend. Her eyes welled up when she saw the stitches on her knee.

"I'm not going to leave that bastard. Can't he drive properly" Maira voice her anger making Elena smiled at her.

Elena knew she was angry and that was fine, because she had known her nature from childhood. It was always Maira who had help her getting out from any fights. She would always be with her when the student of their school would try to bully her. She was her knight and Elena didn't mind if she went and punched the man.

Samantha who was watching her sister ranting her anger could help but ask," How did it happen... I mean didn't you see the car speeding towards you".

"I don't know when the car speeded towards me. I made sure before walking but... the push happened so sudden" she stopped and looked at Maira who was listening to her quietly.

"Do you doubt anyone?" Maira got the hidden meaning of her words. She could tell by now that someone had planned this whole accident.

"I'm not sure" she said looking at both the girls who were deep in their thoughts.

"Did you talk with Lucas on this?" Maira asked.

"No he was already so tired because of my accident and I don't want him to stress more about it" she said and sigh. She knew how easily he would loose his consciousness if he overthinks and she didn't want to risk with his health.

"Should I ask Ethan to search? he is good in tracking. We can find if there is any suspicion" this time it was Samantha who spoke.

"You're right we need to find if anyone is behind you. We just can't let go of this thing so easily without clearing our doubts" Maira said.

Elena nodded at her word, she was right and if someone had planned this thing it means he or she would try to harm her again.

After discussing things with the each other, Maira and Samantha left the hospital letting her rest.

Elena was getting bore doing nothing. She was alone, as Lucas had went out for some unfinished work. She took the mobile out and scroll down the news reading the headlines. Here eyes popped out when she saw hers and Lucas photo in the headline. It was taken when they had went for lunch two days back.

"You are becoming a celebrity Elena "she said and kept reading the news.

Back to the base, Ethan and Daniel were waiting for Lucas to come. The man had finally woken up after sleeping like a pig the whole night.

"Why is it taking him so long to come?" Ethan said watching the time.

Daniel was about to talk when he saw Lucas walking in along with Ron. Lucas strode and stood in front of them. He was calm this time and not like the previous day. If they had not stopped him, the man would have reached heaven without saying anything.

They both knew, Lucas was like a volcano ready to erupt if not calmed down at the right time. 

"Is he awake?" he asked.

"Yes he is but..." Ethan stopped which made him frown.

"But, what?" Lucas asked looking at him.

"He is not saying anything. We tried to talk to him politely but the man is in no mood to say anything" he continued watching Lucas gritting his teeth.

Lucas left before he could say anything further and strode straight to the room where the man was kept captivated.

Asking his men to unlock the door, Lucas walked and kicked the man making him fall from the chair. His anger was reaching his limits making him not to think straight. He was already controlling for so long and now he didn't want to keep his cool.

"Who hired you?" he pulled him up making him talk.

The man started laughing like a manic as blood ooze from his lips. He didn't bother who was the man in front of him. He was not going to open his mouth, even if he loose his life.

"You won't find it out Lucas Thomson" he said and bite his tongue as his eyes rolled up making him fall lifeless.

"You bastard...." he screamed and punch the man trying to wake him up.

Ethan and Daniel ran inside when the heard Lucas scream only to find the man lying dead on the floor.
