Chapter 375: Suspicion

Chelsy was not feeling really well that day, so she forgot to tell Ram that she would like to rest at home in case he asked them to go out. However, Ram had not called her that day, so she thought he would be busy with his family for the weekend.

She tried her best to get up when she heard her doorbell rang because she was expecting someone that day. 

She exhaled loudly as she got up from her bed and walked to her door. She kept wondering when could she finally have an easier life with the man she loved so dearly. She hoped that this time around, they would at least keep their promise and let her live in peace. She was too tired at this point, and she honestly did not know how to handle her own omen anymore.

She slowly walked and opened the door without bothering to check who was knocking on her door through the video intercom.

"Ram?" she whispered, utterly surprised. When she opened the door, she saw Ram outside the door with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. He showed a beautiful smile at her to the point where Chelsy thought she could die any moment just being with his arms alone. For her, Ram was like a dream she was never able to make into reality.

"Aren't you going to let me in?" Ram asked with a smile. Chelsy then smiled and nodded slightly. She then asked Ram to come inside. 

"Are you alright?" Ram asked worriedly after seeing Chelsy's pale face.

"I'm okay," Chelsy answered in a barely audible voice as she accepted the bouquet from Ram.

"I didn't expect you will come today," she whispered and turned around to smell the flowers as she walked towards the living room

But after just a few more steps, Chelsy suddenly passed out and almost fell. Her body might have fallen to the floor if Ram did not catch her body immediately. He quickly carried her to her bedroom and called for their family doctor.

He could feel that her face was burning when he touched it lightly. So, he quickly grabbed a basin with cold water and a small towel to wipe her face with it. His heartbeat was beating so hard because he was too worried. The doctor said he would check her first and see if she needed to be brought to the hospital since it could be just a cold fever.

The doctor arrived fast at the apartment and checked Chelsy instantly.

"She was complaining about a stomach ache a few days ago…" added Ram so the doctor slightly pulled Chelsy's blouse up to check it on her belly, but his eyebrows creased when he saw a patch attached on the side of her stomach.

"Did she get seriously injured somehow? Why does she have a wound?" The doctor murmured as he inspected the patch on Chelsy's left stomach. Ram was astounded as he looked at it while the doctor was checking it.

"We need to bring her to the hospital. Her fever is very high, and she needs a drip. It's mostly infected and was not treated properly. It was still open as well." The doctor commented, so Ram quickly called for an ambulance.

Inside the ambulance, he held Chelsy's hand tightly and gently kissed it.

"What's going on, Chelsy?" he murmured, confused. But he got rid of the thought for now because what matters was Chelsy's recovery. She was burning with fever and still unconscious. 

As soon as they were inside the hospital, the medical team immediately took her and did all the necessary steps to take care of her at the emergency room. 

Ram only sat blankly on the chair when Miley arrived at the hospital.

"Father, what's going on?" Miley asked. At that time, the doctor who checked Chelsy walked toward them. He then explained everything to Miley because he saw Ram was so out of focus.

Senior Sy was just too quiet while he listened carefully.

"This is… It's a stab wound. We need to inform this to the police Ram." The doctor informed both of them, specifically Ram.

Ram looked at the doctor, who was also his close friend. Chelsy hid it. She did not even go to the hospital, and he knew she had her own reasons for not going.

"Can you keep this a secret for now? Let me talk to her first, please…?" Ram requested, almost begging.

"Father!" Miley tried to stop Ram, but she did not continue it when her father's sharp eyes stared at her intensely.

"I will handle this, Miley… Just help me with the things that Chelsy might need. I want to talk to her first and hear her side of the story before we involve any police at this moment." Senior Ram authoritatively said.

The doctor sighed and nodded at Ram.

Meanwhile, Miley sealed her lips, and frustratingly stood up from her chair to get what Chelsy might need while she was staying in the hospital. She somehow… could not help but get more suspicious about why Chelsy had that wound. Did she get involved in something serious somehow? Something was definitely going on because Chelsy hid that fact from her father and did not even bother to go to a hospital because it would be an SOP for medical staff to report such case to the police.

"Why would she not report what had happened to the police first?" Miley thought anxiously. She was worried, but then she tried to control herself to not tell about what might have happened to her brother since her father had requested it.

Her brother was still busy with finding out the truth about the recent scandal he and her sister-in-law got involved with. And now this?

Miley heaved a sigh and could not help but blame herself for trusting people so easily. But she was confident with what she saw in Chelsy's eyes. Chelsy definitely loved their father, but she was obviously hiding something.

Miley cursed, recalling how her brother Liam would want to check Chelsy's background thoroughly, but she insisted it was not necessary. Since she could see how her father already fell in love with Chelsy. Just seeing his father got dead worried right now and how he tried so hard to protect Chelsy like that have proved how much he cared and loved Chelsy.
