Chapter 156 - The Path She Choose

Raymond dumbstruck when Sarah suddenly dragged the unknown girl out of his apartment. This floor is a private section which only he lives here and only Sarah knows it among all of his family members.

Furthermore, only he had the access key and even Sarah doesn't have any access to his house. How can she have the access key? On top of that, isn't she was supposedly 'run away? ' Why is she here though?

He walks back and forth, thinking of so many 'why' which never had an answer to it. When he wanted to check at the outside of his apartment, he heard a loud bang sound near the door and he hurriedly opens the door.

Looking at Sarah who already cries on the floor while touching her cheek makes him suddenly a bit irked with the person who still standing in the hallway.

"What did you do to her?!" He roars and glared at her.

But when he saw the girl flinched and shakes her head, there's a guilty feeling creeping into his heart. "She's faking it!" The girl yelled in anger.

Sarah immediately grabs Raymond's sleeve and says, "Dear…it's hurt.." she shows him her teary eyes and continues again, "I only tell her to return home, or else..your grandma will worry. But she pushes me and slapped me."

"Lie!" Luna once again yelled. Defending herself in front of the man with her almost breaking voice.

To not make a scene at the front of his house, Raymond sighs and said. "You." He looks at the girl for a second. "Go home."

He bends down and carries Sarah to go inside the house before he closes the door.

…

Once the door is closed, he placed Sarah on the sofa and went to find the first aid kit before he looked at her cheek. Well, it's kinda red and there's a hand stamp on her face. 'Must be stinging.'

"She slapped you?" He asked.

Sarah nodded and says with a bit pout, "It's hurt."

After applying for some ointment on her face, he then stands up and went to the laundry room. "Your clothes are almost dry, and you can go home after this. I'll call the driver to send you home," he said while striding back to the living hall and stop his pace at the giant window, looking down on the street.

Like searching for someone, but it was so tiny and he couldn't clearly see someone who he was searching for. And also..her face is kinda blurred and he doesn't remember her details much.

He was spacing out for a moment before Sarah suddenly snake her hands around his waist and make him turn around, facing her. Flirting with him, obviously.

"How about…" She trails her finger from his chest down to his navel before she stops and looked at him. "I stay here tonight? You know…" She looks down at his robe and grabs on the sash around his waist, ready to untie it.

"We haven't had sex since after you woke up and I miss you so dearly…" She bit her bottom lip before Raymond grab her hand from untying the sash.

"Sarah, I don't feel like doing it now. After all, my doctor advised me to not do something that will rock my head. So, I think you should go now." Raymond moves away from her and went to the laundry room again.

He picks up Sarah's clothes from the dryer and hands it over to her which already pouting. "Why, Raymond? I'm your girlfriend and us having sex is totally fine...I can 'ride' you and you can just relax underneath me." She still trying to persuade him.

"You know I don't like someone to stay over at my house, didn't you? Even though I'm your boyfriend, but I'm also a married guy. I'm not a cheater type, even though my marriage is just on the paper. So, until I'm totally fine and divorced, don't ever ask me that thing again, Okay?" Raymond firmly stated his decision which then Sarah groans and nodded her head.

'See…you being unfair to me! You can let her touch all over you while I can't! Just wait, I'll destroy each of you and your brother too. I'll wait until you deeply in love with me again.'

…

Mr. Carson was standing at the side of the building's pavement with the car parked at the side of the road. He was lucky he can park the car for temporary and when he spotted Luna exited the elevator, his expression turns gloomy.

Luna was crying. She looks like she was hurt badly by someone.

"Madam-" He said with formality tone, afraid that Raymond might be chasing after her of something, but none. She was alone.

Hiccups, Luna gets inside the car and wipe her tears which already dripping like a broken pipe. When Mr. Carson went to the driver seat, she hoarsely said. "I want to meet Dr. Fang."

Mr. Carson nodded. These past few days he's been searching for the man in question and finally, he got information about where he has been all this time. Without any delay, Mr. Carson drove the car to the hospital where Dr. Fang work.

…

It was really late at night when Luna and Mr. Carson went to the ER unit in the New York hospital. After a few minutes asking a nurse at the information counter, Mr. Carson sighing and went to Luna who still sitting on the bench. Staring at the white floor blankly. She looks pretty messed up.

He takes a seat beside her and shakes his head helplessly. Holding her hand and says, "I'm sorry, Luna. He's not on duty for today and tomorrow. But, I've got his address by saying that you're his family."

Luna did not focus on what he was saying until he nudged her arm and she turns her head to the man. Blinking her eyes a few times before she says, "I'm sorry. What?"

"I say..let's go back and sleep for the night. We'll be going to Dr. Fang's house tomorrow, okay?" He smiles at her, hoping it could cheer her up a little bit.

"Hmm? Oh, yeah...I guess you were right. Just find us a motel where we can stay for a few nights." She said and took out her purse, ready to give him a few cash to pay for the motel later.

But before she could give it to him, Mr. Carson holds her hand from giving him the money. "No need. We can stay at my old apartment. It's not far from here and Luna.." He shakes his head slowly, "Don't give me money anymore. I still had enough for us."

He knows she's been using all of her money to support them and the mansion's utility bills, but he can't trouble her anymore. She needs that money for her education purpose and she still had a long way to go until Madam Victoria is back.

Luckily he still has a place here which he bought from the old owner before he worked with the Wayne. Even though the house condition might not grand as any hotel, but it was quite comfortable to live in.

Luna look at the man with bloodshot eyes, she doesn't know how to thank him as he always at her side and saw how much she struggle to continue this path she chooses. "I.."

"You don't have to say anything, Luna. I know how much you love him. I hope whatever problem you both have, you could settle it and find your own happiness. Until you talk to him, we'll stay in this city for a few more days, okay?"

Luna nod and hug the man as a thank you and he rub on her back of the body. "Stay strong Luna. You have a long way to go. Come on."

Both of them walk back to the parking lot and went to Mr. Carson's apartment which is a few blocks away from the hospital.

Just like what she thought, his apartment looks simple and cozy. Yet it's comfortable with two bedrooms and one bathroom. There's a kitchen island at the opposite the living hall which has a fireplace.

The building from the outside is quite old but the interior inside the house still sturdy and looks okay.

Mr. Carson let Luna stay at the master bedroom which has a giant window where she could see the neighbor from the next building. And the sound of cars passing by the road, the cats meowing and the murmuring sound from the neighbor really make her feels like in the 'city'.
