Chapter 380: A Storm Passing By
Liam knitted his brows at Chelsy's last words. When telling him about the man who hurt her, she was absolutely sure that he was someone different. She sounded so sure that he did not belong to the group who hired her.
Liam couldn't help but feel worried. If it really was someone different, then that would make things much more complicated for them.
Liam looked intently at Chelsy and asked, "why do you sound so sure that a different person stabbed you?"
Chelsy inhaled to get some air and whispered, "it's because of what he said…"
"What did he say?" Liam asked with gritted teeth.
Chelsy relayed the man's exact words as, 'I'm the only one who is allowed to bully those people, so I hope this serves as a warning… One more wrong move and I will slit your throat.'
"He is a psycho… total psycho, just with his words alone, I could tell. He was referring to you and Lana. I think he did not want anyone to harm you except for him. That's how I interpreted his words. Just his voice alone, makes me shiver in fear even as I recall that incident..."
Liam's face darkened because he had also met a man like that only once in his entire life of handling various cases and interviewing various kinds of criminals. Only one man could make him shiver in fear. And that was Lana's father.
"Can you recognize him?" Liam asked, but Chelsy shook her head.
Liam grabbed his mobile phone and opened the files on Lana's father, then showed his photo to Chelsy.
"Does he look like this?" Liam asked.
Chelsy shook her head once more and said, "I'm really sorry, Liam. It was too dark and I really couldn't see his face. I only heard him speak."
"If I play a voice recording… Do you think you can recognize his voice?"
Chelsy nodded because she would never forget the frightening voice of that man.
"Good then. Rest for now. Later I will show you a video and we'll see if you can somehow recognize the voice." Liam said before he stood up.
He looked at his father and said, "I have to leave first, to check on things. Chelsy will need security twenty-four-seven father and I will implement the same level of security and caution for everyone…"
Liam looked at Miley and said, "Including you and Jorge, Miley. If possible, you and Jorge stay at Sy mansion. No more going out unless it's really necessary. Tight security will be implemented at Sy, Inc. as well. Until everything is solved, we must not, at all, let our guard down."
Miley's face crumpled as she said, "What is really going on? Who is doing this?"
Liam frustratingly released a heavy sigh and said, "There are two parties involved. The one who manipulated Chelsy and the one who stabbed Chelsy. I will find out who it is, soon. What is important is that everyone must stay alert at all times."
He looked at Miley and added, "Please listen to me carefully, and do exactly as I am telling you right now. Don't trust anyone easily. Everything must go by me first. Inform me first if there will be anything suspicious. The same applies to our household. I will let no new people in and out."
"I will take care of it, son. Leave now and do what you must do…" Senior Sy interrupted.
"I will also go, father. All the things Chelsy needed were there in the baggage." Miley commented and Senior Sy nodded, then gestured for his children to leave.
Everyone left, and Ram stayed with Chelsy. There was only silence…
Chelsy wanted to speak, but she felt like there was a lump in her throat hindering her ability to speak. And what would she say?
She saw Ram preparing some food for her.
"You must be hungry… You must eat lunch first, and then later rest…" she heard him speak as he fixed the portable table attached to her bed. He helped her sit and sat on the bedside to feed her.
"I can manage to eat myself, Ram. You can leave now…" Chelsy whispered.
Ram exhaled and said, "Why? Are you feeling guilty and thinking that you don't deserve anything so you want to drive me away now?"
Chelsy was surprised to hear how he voiced out her thoughts.
Ram gave her a smile and said, "If you feel so guilty then you should treat me more with kindness, Chelsy. I already told you I understand your situation and I want us to do all things together from now on. If you feel so guilty, then treat me and my family with immeasurable kindness and honesty, Chelsy."
"I thought we now live in a new generation and you yourself said that. I heard martyrdom does not apply to this generation anymore…" Ram added with a grin, trying to ease the tension in the atmosphere. He did not want Chelsy to remain guilty for her life because she would not find happiness if she felt that way for too long.
"You said you love me… You can prove how much you love me by staying with me till the end, Chelsy. I have lost a woman I loved before. And I will not lose you just because you made a decision based on your own discretion.
No one is right or wrong when it comes to making a decision because of your past or previous circumstances. Again, you said this yourself… You did what you think was right, to save me…
So please let us move forward. If you are worried about my children, then I assure you, you need not be. My children are rational and broad-minded people who will not judge a person so easily, and I'm sure you know that…"
Chelsy was speechless but was very grateful and continuously saying her prayer of thanks in silence as her tears started to fall down her eyes. She was too lucky and Ram was right. She would dedicate herself to him and his entire family. She would return all their mercy and kindness towards them.
Ram gently pulled her into his embrace while she kept on sobbing. He was treating this as a storm passing by in their relationship, and he would not let that storm destroy them. He loved this woman, and he knew she felt the same way so they should be able to survive every storm, together.
"Let us not give up on each other, Chelsy, please, because I love you…" he whispered while lovingly kissing her hair.
