Chapter 253: AGREED TO HELP
With blood boiling in anger, Felicia clenched her fist tightly, resisting the urge to punch Mr Gilbert across the face with it. This was the biggest insult that she had ever received in her life. Just as much as she was ugly and she knew it, she didn’t want to admit it one bit. Her ego wouldn’t let her and she didn’t care. She glared at Mr Gilbert like as if he was lying and the latter calmly stared at her, waiting for her to utter something but she was still busy gritting at teeth.
Suddenly, they heard a snicker and immediately, Felicia turned to transfer her glare toward Erika, who was trying as much as possible to not laugh out loud.
Feeling Felicia’s hard glare on her, Erika instantly burst into waves of laughter without bothering to hold herself back which only embarrassed Felicia even more than she already was.
"Hahahahaha!!!" Erika laughed out loud. Iza, who was behind her couldn’t help but snicker as well but she made sure to not be too audible like Erika. She still had something to lose, unlike Erika who was completely unbothered by Felicia’s fierce look, as if wanting to cut Erika’s mouth so she wouldn’t have anything to laugh with ever again.
Adrian ended up following and so did Mr Gilbert. All together, they turned her into a laughing stock.
"Shut up!!" She tried to command them to shut their mouths but it seemed to have only ignited the urge to laugh some more. With a face flushed with embarrassment, Felicia tried to control them to stop laughing at her but didn’t succeed and they only stopped laughing at her when they had their fill.
"I’m so sorry Miss Felicia but we couldn’t help but laugh at you. I was only saying the truth anyways," Mr Gilbert apologized but it was very obvious that he wasn’t sincere with his apology since he laughed first before apologizing. It was as if he only apologized because he thought it was the right thing to do at that moment.
"Keep your apologies to yourself," Felicia snapped at him. With hands clenched tightly, she grunted and left that area of the hospital, heading towards the car. Recalling how they were all laughing at her made her only feel more embarrassed and also angry towards Erika but after remembering that she would soon be getting her plastic surgery done and in no time she would be looking like Erika, she smirked victoriously and decided to pacify her anger by herself. "The good days are coming," she said to herself as she raised her head all high and mighty.
Soon after, the others also came out and joined her and they all headed towards the hideout together. Once they got to the hideout, Felicia got down and was about to rush inside the house but Adrian stopped her,
"The surgery has been scheduled tomorrow so make sure that you are ready tomorrow."
Nodding her head, Felicia continued to walk until she got inside the house.
Iza helped Erika as usual and was about to push her inside the house but Adrian also stopped them.
"Tomorrow, I will send a designer here and she will bring along with her some wedding dresses for you so you can choose whichever you like. I will personally go and meet mine since I don’t think it’s safe to take you with me wherever I go," he said, waiting for her to appreciate his gestures but she only kept quiet. Sighing, he added, "I also won’t come back home today, we will see on the wedding day which is in two days. I have some important business to deal with." He continued to inform her about his business and it got to a point that it started to irk Erika.
"Why are you telling me this? I don’t care about what you do or don’t do," she snapped at her. Hearing his voice all the time talking about the wedding only makes her feel disgusted with the urge to puke but she had been holding herself back.
"I’m only telling you this because I don’t want you to think that you can escape from me again just because I won’t be around," he explained to her with a smirk. "I wouldn’t want to look for you on our wedding day, okay? So behave while I’m away." He attempted patting her head as if she was a kid but she immediately swatted it away.
"Let’s go Iza," Erika ordered Iza and without wasting a second, the girl pushed the wheelchair away, leaving Adrain alone by the car as he watched them leave and get inside the house. Once they were completely out of his sight, he brought out his phone from his pocket and picked up a call before he got inside the car and drove away from there.
Inside Erika’s room, she waited for Iza to lock the room before she started to ask, "So have you finally decided if you are going to help me or not?"
Iza released a sigh before she replied, "Mam, it’s going to be a very hard thing to do and we can’t be assured that we might even succeed because of the guards that will be here to protect you. I’m sure that boss Adrain has already given them commands to never let you out of their sight until the time of the wedding so this is going to be difficult."
"I know it’s difficult but it’s not impossible," said Erika. Feeling that Iza was still unsure if she was going to help her or not, Erika placed her hands on Iza which jolted the latter. Patting it slow in a way to comfort her, Erika pleased, "Please Iza. You are the only one who can help me with what I need help with. Please help me unite with my lover and imprison all these bad people."
Looking at Erika who looks like she will begin to cry any minute now, Iza quickly said, "I will help you. I will help you get out of here."
