Chapter 42 - Relapse (2)

It was only 3 hours after triggering the red code, when James finally got a hold of his Boss. It was already about 4 pm in the afternoon.

Alex just landed in England, when he heard the bad news. He instantly got a helicopter to send him towards the Hospital directly. Since he was already in their private Airport, might as well used it as transportation. If Alex had a hobby of boats, his Father Theo was obsess with aircrafts.

When Alex was up in the air with a pilot, Alex received a call from his Father.

"I heard you took my chopper and its landing to a hospital. What's going on? Did something happened?". Theo was currently in his study room, when he was informed by his subordinates in the Airport.

Alex sighed. There was no hiding the news from him. "It's April, she fainted around lunch time. She was sent to the hospital for check up."

"What?!" Theo couldn't help but stood up. "What happened? Why did she fainted?"

Alex rubbed his forehead. He knew that if he told his father, he will received a bunch of reprimands.

"Tell me what happened Alex! Is she in danger?". He could feel that something wasn't right. He was already debating if he should inform his wife Phoebe about this. Surely, she would get worried.

Alex sighed again. "Francesca confronted April in Burghley Mansion. The Guards said the she was fine after that and went back to the house, but the Driver said she was trembling the whole way home. As soon as she got out, she fainted. That's all I know right now. James is still waiting for the results." Alex was smart enough not to say, that April had a Relapse. He knew how protective his father is about kids, especially those who were traumatized.

"Berk! I told you before not to marry that selfish woman! Look at you now! You're sorry ass better fixed this! Divorce that woman this instant! I told you that she never loved you deeply enough! See how she is acting high up right now?! Just you wait! I'll beat your ass!" Theo hang up. He really was disappointed with Alex. This only son of his, was going to be the death of him. He banged his left fist to the table.

Hearing the commotion coming from the Study, Phoebe came in. She could see that her husband was angry, who ever he talked to on the phone.

"Dear, what's wrong? Did something happened?" Phoebe walked around the desk, stood in front of her husband.

Hearing his wife came in, Theo shut his eyes tightly. His wife was already fond of April, this news would surely break her heart. He gulped, as he looked at her.

"April is on the Hospital. I think she may have gotten a relapse." Theo sighed. Even though his stupid son didn't say it, he already guess it. He had been around kids who were mentally unstable like April, how could he not know?

"What did you say? What happened? Tell me!" Phoebe grabbed her husband's hand.

Theo could only recount the story to his wife. After telling the story, his wife bolted out the study.

"Wait .. dear wait! where are you going?!" Theo ran to follow his wife, he pulled her to stop.

"I'm going there to the hospital, of course! Poor April. Her parents isn't here to help her. We need to be there for her." Phoebe's felt sad for April, but she knew better not to show this to her.

Remembering what happened again, she was back to being mad. "That stupid son of yours better have a good explanation for this!".

How dare that woman confront her future daughter-in-law! In her eyes, she had never treated Francesca as her daughter-in-law. She was selfish and left her son in misery! Her and her husband knew that she only married for the Hawthorne's name and connection. If not, why else would Alex be always left alone and lonely in his Mansion!? They hardly see each other and didn't even want to give them grandkids! It was certainly absurd!

"But he is your son too?". Theo pursed his lips, as his wife stared at him. Like she was about to commit murder.

"Fine, fine.. We'll go. Let's head to the back and take Charles with us." Theo pulled his wife towards the back of the Mansion. They had a helipad, not far from the garden. Charles was his new favorite toy, it was an ACH160. Theo operated the helicopter himself, along with his co-pilot. So someone could fly Charles back home. Phoebe was sitting on the back, waiting for take off.
