Chapter 652: COINCIDENCES

They thought that everything will go according to their plan but Stefan was one step ahead of them. To make sure that his family will be safe, he told Dominic to stop his part-time job for a while. He also communicated with his work place since he owned it as well. Of course, the management didn’t make things difficult. Even if Dominic got in through the back door, they couldn’t deny the fact that he was very efficient and was very diligent with his work as well.

As for Luiz, since his work was mostly outdoor, Stefan negotiated for Luiz, telling the photography team to do the work in one of his properties. No matter what kind of set up it would be, Stefan would compromise for the sake of their safety.

Cayenne looked at her husband who was eating quietly beside her. They were already having dinner but he was still fiddling with his phone in one hand. He even stopped shoving food in his mouth. She only wanted to feel at ease but with their enemies lurking around, she always felt restless.

“Hon, how about you finish your food and continue what you are doing after you eat?”

“Give me a sec.” Stefan responded without giving her a glance. Everyone was stunned with his attitude. This has never happened before. The screeching sound of the chair beside him pulled his attention back to his wife and he saw Cayenne standing up with her plate. “Where are you going?”

“I finished my meal already.”

“But I am not done yet.”

.....

“Obviously.”

Stefan scratched the back of his head while looking at his food which has turned cold. “I’ll just get something later. I really need to finish some work to ensure our safety.”

“I know. I know. You can go upstairs. I’ll bring you something to eat.”

With that, Stefan excused himself and went inside his study room. Cayenne wasn’t saying anything and just prepared something for him to eat.

“I really thought you would argue.” Kyle commented while eating his dessert. “It was the first time that he openly skipped his meal in front of you.”

“I know right! I thought Yen would blow up her top!”

“I’m not like that.” Cayenne retorted while making a fruit juice for her husband. “Anyway, I’ll go up first. You guys should clean the dishes after dinner since Lucia and her daughters are currently having a short vacation.”

“Yes, yes.”

Jonas watched his stepdaughter walk away. He was happy that Cayenne found someone who cares so much for her but he was also sad that Elizabeth could no longer witness this happiness.

Cayenne found Stefan inside the study room, working his bones again. Seeing him like this always makes her feel guilty.

“I thought you’ll feed me.” Stefan commented as he put down his phone and turned his attention to the computer in front of him.

“That’s the plan.”

To make sure that he won’t skip dinner, Cayenne fed him while he worked. From time to time, she’d make suggestions as well and they talked for more options and other possible solutions. Even though Cayenne has not finished her degree and even though she wasn’t taking business management, their discussion makes her feel that she contributed a little. And Stefan always makes her feel proud of herself.

“Tomorrow, we’re visiting your dad and grandpa.”

“Hn. I have prepared some gifts for them already.”

“You do?” She exclaimed in surprise which made Stefan frown. “Please don’t take it in a wrong way. I am just really surprised. It’s the first time that you chose gifts for them on your own.”

“I didn’t choose them. The bodyguards did.”

She made an ‘oh’ sound but she didn’t believe his words. From his bashful face, it’s obvious that he was the one who bought the gifts.

Most families reunite during Christmas and New Year. Some don’t. Some longed-for gifts while others longed for love and time.

Several months have passed since Cayenne was kidnapped and Tristan already managed to track down the mental hospital where her auntie and uncle have been sent. Diana and Artemis have been looking for them but there was no record found on the hospital. It was said that their parents have been transferred not long ago.

Tristan was even blamed for the wrong information but he swore to his life that he was correct and Shein also verified it.

“Sis, are we going to spend Christmas with just the two of us?” Artemis asked Diana as they sat on a bench with snow falling slowly around them. “I am so envious with Cayenne.”

“Right. She’s very lucky.”

“Do you think we can really find our parents here? This is a very huge hospital and it was said that they were already transferred.”

“I am putting my trust on Tristan for this information. I am sure that he wouldn’t lie to us after we helped them rescue Cayenne from our grandpa. For now, let’s continue on this act and visit all the rooms of this place.” The siblings put on their coat over their nurse uniform before getting inside the institution. Tristan have helped them forge their information about care giving. It was to help them get inside the hospital and take care of the people.

As they walked inside, a woman who was getting out to go home, passed by them and paused on her steps. “I thought it was Mrs. Dumrique.” she muttered to herself but dismissed the idea after seeing the uniform. ‘There’s no way that her husband would allow her to work in this place. Speaking of...’ She pulled out her phone and looked at the pictures of the couple that she took when she was having a vacation. ‘She resembled one of the patients I saw before.’

The nurse shook her head hastily and started walking again. She will try to look for information tomorrow. She never really thought about it before. ‘Shall I ask Mrs. Dumrique if she has a family who was admitted here? Ah! Wouldn’t that offend her? Having a mentally retarded family isn’t really a good thing. Never mind.’
