You Have Sent Him Away
She was extremely angry, she stood and threw a resounding slap to his face, “are you out of your mind? How dare you embarrass me here? Get out of here now!” She commanded.
Guthred was stunned at the slap he just received. He, a whole Prince and possible heir to the throne of the great Maridonna kingdom, slapped by a mere commoner. All for what? Guthred was angry but he didn’t react back. “You will pay for it!” Guthred swore and walked away from her.
All the eyes of everyone present set on them, Brigitta sat back and said to Grisah, “please don’t be annoyed, Grisah. He’s my bodyguard, I don’t know what came upon him. He must be a psycho.”
“It’s okay,” Grisah said and they both began to eat. After they were done eating, they both returned back to the office.
Brigitta suddenly began to feel a stomach pain, at first, it was light. If not that her period had come last week, she would have thought that the stomach pain was a sign that her period was coming.
As she continued working, the stomach pain intensified. She managed to finish with work, as she stood, she released an excessive amount of fat, the entire room began to smell rotten. What was wrong with her?
Yet, the abdominal pain continued, then she managed to pick her luggage and walked out. On getting home, she quickly went to slump on the bed, rolling to the left and to the right.
When her children came back from school, she pretend as if all is well and even welcomed them with a smile. Then she went ahead and cook for them, all these while, her stomach pain had greatly intensified that she couldn’t even stand upright anymore.
She lead her children to their room but unlike other days when she will spend time with them, she couldn’t. As she walked back to her room, she could only pray that her children will not find out that she’s not fine.
When she got before her room, about to twist the knob of the door, she felt as though her intenstine was pulled down so she fell to her knees and groan in pain, the pain was too much.
She suddenly saw someone walking towards her, this person was Ragnar Marshall.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
“What went wrong?” Ragnar Marshall asked but she could only speak few words.
“Stomach pain, sir…”
She carried her at once and took her to his car then he drove her to the hospital. While inside the car, he didn’t utter a single word.
Soon, Brigitta was placed in a ward and was being examined by the doctor while Ragnar Marshall stood outside with Ottar and Beocca. He had called the two to come to meet him at the hospital.
“Sir…”
“Just keep mute.” Ragnar Marshall wouldn’t allow neither of Beocca nor Ottar to utter a word. He was only longing for what the doctor had to say as regarding Brigitta.
Soon, the doctor came out, “sir, she’s posioned.”
“Poisoned?”
“Yes, sir. The food posioning, sir is damaging the DNA in her intestinal wall really fast, I’m afraid it might lead to colon cancer, sir.” The doctor broke the sad news.
Colon cancer? “What can you do? Can it be cured?”
“We have already administered the first dose of treatment to her but the toxins in the food she consumed were too much, I can only hope our treatment works on her,” the doctor said.
At Ragnar Marshall’s gesture, the doctor walked away. Then Ragnar Marshall walked outside alongside the two men behind him. When they got to the underground garage of the hospital, he asked, “where’s the man we asked to ensure her protection?”
“This was what I wanted to inform you about before, sir,” Beocca said, “he got angry and had returned back to Maridonna.”
“Why?”
“He said he found out the food Brigitta wanted to eat at the hospital is poisoned and when he tried to stop her, she wouldn’t listen. Infact, she ended up slapping him in public. He said he wouldn’t take such humiliation.” Beocca said. “He also threatened that he will make her pay.”
“And about the money I paid him?” Ragnar Marshall asked, as he paid Guthred a huge sum of money after he realized that his fighting skill was excellent.
“He returned double the amount of the money to us, ” Ottar chirped. “Sir, I do not think that man is an ordinary man, he was probably sent from Maridonna to spy on us.”
“If he’s sent to spy, why is he trying to protect Brigitta from getting posioned. The fact that he even find out the food is poisoned already speaks a volume that he’s doing a good job. But he could also be a spy,” Ragnar Marshall said.
The three men were quiet for a while then Ragnar Marshall said to Beocca, “find out those who poisoned Brigitta and get back to me. Also, keep eyes on her and ensure she’s safe.”
“Alright, sir.” Beocca said and watched as Ragnar Marshall and Ottar got inside the car.
About seven hours later, in the midnight, Brigitta who had eventually lost consciousness for a long time suddenly fluttered her eyes open, she looked around and saw Beocca waiting on her.
“Uncle…” She called and sat upright.
“How are you, Brigitta?”
Brigitta suddenly held the left side of her stomach and groaned slightly in pain, “it still hurts… badly.”
Beocca felt bad for her, “why did you have to slap Guthred? The food he was trying to protect you from eating then was poisoned.”
“What! The food is poisoned? How? But I ate the food in a restaurant, infact, I ate it with Grisah, a junior colleague. Is he also sick now?”
“How will I know? But you were the target. What I want to know is, why did you slap such a man cause I know you are not the violent type?”
She groaned slightly in pain again and said, “he slapped the spoon from my hand. How could he?”
“It’s the only way he can stop you from eating it. I guess he had told you to stop but then you refused so he had to slap the spoonful of food away from your hand. How is he guilty of being slapped?” Beocca wasn’t pleased that Guthred was slapped. Guthred to him, was an asset. He believed Guthred to be an extraordinary man, expecially one that could help find where. Chester is.
Brigitta finally understood the reason behind Guthred’s action, she felt so bad about it, “uncle, please investigate who poisoned me?”
“I will.” Beocca said. “You have sent away the only person that can help us find Chester.”
