As Maria approached Kassandra Bold hospital ward she noticed the nurses slightly bowing their heads at them, then she did a mental note or, ' it's either Edward owns the hospital or he's the sole supportive system to the hospital.
"What're_" Maria Moore was about to say as to why Edward stopped her from entering inside the ward.
"You should put on protective garment" Edward James told her.
"Is she sick of an infectious disease" Maria Moore asked.
"No she's not" Edward James answered and Maria made attempt of going in but he held her back and she gave him the questioning look.
"Protect yourself first, I don't have the luxury to waste in the hospital" Edward James told her but she rolled her eyes
"I won't be infected" Maria Moore said
"Where are you in now?" Edward asked
"The hospital"
"Thank goodness you know so you have to wear a protective garment" he said
"No, I will look like a patient in it" Maria Moore said still not willing to, Edward James smiled inwardly at her excuse.
"I've I spoilt you too much, come on be good" Edward tried to reason with her but she still refused.
" You have two minutes to decide else I'll help you out" Edward James told her, one of his guard who was close enough to hear their conversation was stunned to see his boss speak softly to someone.
" I feel irritated in these" Maria Moore complained for the hundredth time before going into the hospital ward were Kassandra Bold is.
It was when they entered they saw someone else in the ward with her.
"Who's the little girl" Maria Moore asked the attending nurse watching over the sleeping patient
"Ms Bold child ma'am_ she was the one who called the rescue team" said the nurse respectful.
"Why is she injured then?" Asked Maria
"She was barely conscious when the team arrived ma'am and about the injury will get answers when they both awake" the nurse said
"Where's doctor Lazarus" Edward James asked
" He's in the emergency unit at the moment young master" the nurse said
"Hmm, that will be all" Edward James said as he took Maria Moore's hand and led them outside the ward.
"You can go ahead" Maria Moore told Edward who paused in his tracks
"Not ready to leave" Edward asked
"No, I can't bare to leave the little girl with her sick mother" Maria said in a teary voice which made Edward mood change.
"That's okay my chauffeur will be here to take you back" Edward James told her and she nods slightly looking everywhere but his face; he raised her chin up to him
"Take care of you" he said and she nods again then he left not before asking the guard to get her some stuffs
On his way back to the company he was in a fowl mood as he just discovered that Maria Moore is suffering deeply because of the misfortune in the past. How can he truly put an end to that, he thought.
Just then Kristen called
"Hey bro what's up, just saw Maria at the lobby" Kristen said
"Yeah, she's visiting the young Ms Bold" Edward James told him.
"Did you guys fight about it, she's not looking good" Kristen stated and Edward sighed
" Sure it's just a psychological phase_ am not sure I can keep hidding the truth about little Maria" Edward James said taking a deep breath
"Yeah, but don't you think she needs to see a physician" Kristen told him
"She's not sick" said Edward
"Not physically sick but she might be going through psychological trauma, which she's trying to hide" Kristen told him.
"I'll discuss that with_ hold on I'll get back to you" Edward James who just arrived at the company made a U turn heading back to the James mansion.
'could she be hidding her health issues'
'why's she having does with her'
Edward James thought
