Revenge Blanketed Passion

CHAPTER 23. REFUSING TO EAT AND DRINK

Jaysen was shocked by what had just happened. He rubbed his face from Emily's slap. At a glance he fell silent before finally coldly giving the order.

“Bring them both out and never let them in here again without my orders!”

“Wait! You made a mistake.” exclaimed Titus trying to escape by fighting some bodyguards who tried to drag him. “He's Emily not Eleanor! Eleanor had an accident the same night as you and she was hospitalized!”

Jaysen raised his hand to stop and his guards were obedient. Titus jerked the hand of the bodyguard holding his arm, he broke away from the few guards that had grabbed him while Naura approached him.

“Eleanor had an accident and is now hospitalized.” Jaysen repeated Titus' remarks. She whispered to Emily right in her ear while exhaling intentionally, “Darling, you guys are so conspicuous? Why is your father saying the same as you say, hem?”

Then the man flicked his finger and the guards dragged Titus and Naura back.

“It's true! My daughter is twins and the one you're with right now is Emily, not Eleanor. Emily's been living in New York with my sister.”

Their efforts were in vain because none of them Jaysen listened to because the blind man had already dragged Emily away followed by Argya.

“Don't cry on like that dong dear.” he said in a mocking tone as soon as Emily tried to let go of her but her efforts were in vain. The blind man clutched his arm tightly.

”How about we continue the tea show? Later you can sigh and groan asking for me to enter again like before. Didn't you enjoy it baby?”

“Job! Your bastard!” Emily shouted while looking at Jaysen with hatred but the blind man just laughed out loud at all the vows the girl made to him.

He dragged Emily into the park. Emily continued to thrash and curse with harsh words to Jaysen

********

It was the third day since the incident, when Jaysen was enjoying his meal. He tells Argya to check on Emily, who has refused to eat since the incident. Soon Argya returned and approached Jaysen and stood in front of him.

“How?” jaysen rubbed his lips with a rag. She had just fed him a piece of meat when Argya came to report to her. “What's there been a development?”

“Nona Eleanor still refuses to eat and drink.” replied Argya in a calm tone. Hearing that Jaysen was silent, the atmosphere in the dining room was silent for a moment and before long the blind man sighed.

His attitude made the servants and bodyguards waiting for him to eat start to feel uneasy.

“Take me to his room.” said Jaysen threw his dinner lap just like that. Both of his hands clenched at the side of his body held back the anger. Since the departure of her parents Emily has vehemently refused to eat and drink in protest at Jaysen.

Argya immediately accompanies his young master to Emily's room which they still think of as Eleanor. After they died, the servants and bodyguards who were still in the dining room all simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief. Since then their hearts beat fast not because waiting for bad things especially what will happen next.

To their knowledge, it has been three days ‘Nona Eleanor’ refused to eat and drink. The beautiful girl even locked herself in her room and did not allow anyone to enter.

And during those three days, Jaysen was more silent than usual. There was no anger or anger from the blind man.  More precisely not raging.

“Open the door!” his orders made the two bodyguards who were standing in front of Emily's room exchange glances asking each other questions.

“Please excuse Young Master. No—nona Eleanor refused to-” said a bodyguard ventured to speak with fear and a stammering voice.

“Ta—tap--but..

“Quick open the door! Or I'll finish you off!” jaysen snarled with rage. The blind man was not a man who liked to repeat his sentence but now he had to do that until repeating his words three times made his emotions even more heightened.

Argya immediately coded the two guards to comply. The middle-aged man understood that his Young Master had already crossed the line of his patience and it would be very dangerous to be denied. 

Finally the two bodyguards nodded, in a hurry one bodyguard opened the door to open it.

But before the door was wide open, Jaysen was in a hurry to get inside so he hit the door.

“Young Master, are you not ap---”

“How is the girl doing?” his question cut the word of the guard.

Argya was silent for a moment then he observed the girl sitting on the bed. His eyes were blank with his face looking pale. Taking a breath, the middle-aged man replied in a soft voice, “Nona Eleanor seems to be unwell. Her face was pale once and she looked limp.”

Rahanga Jaysen heard that, ever since her parents came and were expelled, the girl she thought Eleanor was acting like that.

He kept himself locked in his room and refused to eat or drink. Emily did it deliberately as an act of protest. For him, this was the last step he could take when the opportunity to escape was not there.

Rather than being abused and treated cruelly every day, he thought torturing himself was much better. In the hope that he could die as soon as possible and end his suffering.

It's the third day and Jaysen's patience is up. During these three days he still kept trying to hold himself back and be patient. But not this time, his emotions were already overflowing to spit out.

Argya who saw Jaysen's expression also understood that the blind man had lost his patience, and could have gone berserk and done something bad.

“Young master, please calm yourself. Everything will be fine.” said Argya hurriedly prevented Jaysen who was about to approach Emily. “Nona looks not good. It is better not to do anything to him because it will have bad consequences later.” he added in the tone as respectful as possible. In order not to offend Jaysen and hurt Emily.

While clucking, Jaysen still stepped toward the bed where Emily was. He did not speak the words of his confidant. “Ele! Come eat.” call him but no sahutan.

Emily remained silent not budging even just glancing no. “Come on Ele, you can get sick if you keep doing this. At least drink and spend the milk huh?”

Still there was no reply from the person being spoken to, making Jaysen start to complain in his heart. The blind man couldn't understand why he should be worried?

Didn't she hate Eleanor for the betrayal she's been behind her all this time? Then why did the girl's silence and her indifference make her feel this frustrated and depressed? It's strange! There's something strange about him. Jaysen realized something within him was beginning to change even though he himself had not fully understood it.
