The Secret of the Geeky Girl

CHAPTER 44 Rachel's Concerns

"True, we have done an examination and most likely the cause is an injury to the brain (traumatic brain injury)," explained the doctor.

"Is the injury so bad, doctor? when will Daddy ever be aware of his coma?" ask Calvin.

"For the extent of the injury, we still have to do further checks, and for the duration of the coma, we just pray that Mr. Darold can be aware immediately," replied the doctor.

Calvin bowed listlessly to hear the doctor's words. Rossa patted Calvin's shoulder gently giving him some strength. "Prophey dear, we pray that your Daddy can wake up soon, now sit down so that your body can be more relaxed."

"Yes mommy." Calvin sits down on a couch in a VIP room where Darold is taken care of and followed by Rossa.

"Mommy"

"Hmm? what's up, honey?"

"Mommy knows, who was the woman who spoke to daddy in the video that night?"

"If it's not Rachelia's name, is it?"

"Mom, and mommy knows who Rachelia is?"

"If you don't hear me wrong, your Daddy was the mastermind of the explosion at his house first, so he exposed all his crimes that night."

"It's true mom, but the one you don't know about the woman, she's also the one who's been helping me find the location of mommy's whereabouts, too,"

"What's? so she's.." Rossa was so shocked that she herself was unable to continue her question.

Calvin nodded weakly answering a question that even Rossa had not finished saying, several times he exhaled violently and fell back down. Somehow Calvin feels at this time, but from the face captured by Rossa, Calvin is at war with his own feelings.

Rossa was really sad to see her son's sadness. However, he was also curious about something that was troubling his mind.

"Calvin, do you love that woman?" Rossa's question succeeded in making Calvin's face immediately lifted, instead of answering, Calvin was silent in a thousand languages. However, from the look in her eyes, Rossa could tell the answer.

"You don't have to answer, baby, your eyes have answered everything" Rossa said, leaving Calvin bowed.

"I'm sorry Calvin mom, Calvin's wrong" Calvin's great-grandson.

"No dear, you are not at all wrong, even your sincere feelings are not wrong at all. Your past alone is not unidirectional, so it raises grudges and hate that become a great wall between you."

"True mom, and we certainly can't be together, Calvin is self-conscious about it."

Rossa was once again speechless, she was only able to hear and give Calvin strength for now.

--

A few days later.

Rachel is getting smoother in shooting, even her shots are now always on target, various types of weapons belonging to her father he has tried and she is quickly able to master the techniques of using each weapon.

"Dad, it's late, Rachel wants to leave first, it's been a few days Rachel didn't come home," said Rachel to Edward who is currently with Morgan in his room.

"Okay, baby, Morgan will take you" cried Edward.

"Rachel can go home on her own" Rachel refused

"No dear, you have announced your identity, and it is certainly not safe for you" Edward said firmly.

"Hmm. well dad," muttered Rachel resignedly, then walked out followed by Morgan behind her.

And this is where Rachel is right now, in her car with that gondrong guy. The atmosphere was so quiet, none of them made a sound. Both Rachel and Morgan, both seemed to drift in their minds.

"Ecchem.." Rachel cleared her throat trying to break the silence in the car, while Morgan just flinching not giving any response, not even glancing.

"Emm Morgan"

"Yes, miss?"

"Hmm since when did you join Red Sword?"

"Since I was 16, miss"

"Then, how old are you right now?"

"I'm 29 years old miss"

"Oooh.. Have you got a family?" Rachel hit her mouth softly upon noticing her question that was increasingly leading to personal matters. And this action was caught by Morgan's tail, it made him smile faintly.

"Not yet, miss," replied Morgan back with a flat face.

"Oo" Rachel's rounded lips made her look even more adorable.

"Me?" point Rachel to herself. "Yes, it's clear that I have no family yet" he continued.

"No, I mean, does the lady already have a lover?" reset Morgan.

"Ooo.. No," replied Rachel briefly.

Again Rachel's answer made Morgan smile faintly, she immediately remembered Edward's message to her before Rachel came.

*Flashback*

"Morgan, do you have a lover?" edward asked with his bass voice.

"Not yet sir" replied Morgan.

"Good!" edward answered briefly with a smile.

"What's good sir?" ask Morgan who is a little confused.

"I see you are very loyal, and smart, I plan to match you with my daughter" Edward replied casually.

"W-what?" Morgan frowned that was slightly covered by his long hair.

"Hahaha, why are you so surprised? Don't you like it too?" gelak Edward, but Morgan did not give any answer, so Edward's laughter slowly receded.

"I've been watching you for as long as you've been training my daughter, your eyes on her are very different, I'm a man, and I clearly know what kind of gaze you're giving my daughter."

Morgan went back to silence, he was currently like a cat caught taking a fish on his master's table.

"Why are you silent? Did you disagree with my decision to set you up with Rachel?"

"No-no sir"

"Then do you agree?"

"If Rachel doesn't want to, then I don't want to force her" Morgan's reply certainly made Edward smile.

"Effort," said Edward and Morgan, speaking only a thousand languages.

"Oh yes, I want you to be Rachel's personal bodyguard" Edward said, making Morgan immediately lift his face to see Edward who had only smiled faintly since.

"Don't get me wrong, I want you to take care of my daughter, because after this incident, she's definitely going to get targeted by Damon's people."

"Bright sir."

*flashback off*

"Eh we've arrived" Rachel said as their car was in her yard. "Thank you for driving me" said Rachel, but she didn't realize that Morgan was also getting out of the car and following her from behind.

"Hello home, finally we meet again, I miss you," exclaimed Rachel enthusiastically as she entered her house, she was still not aware of Morgan's presence behind her, that's because Morgan used to walk without making any noise as he was stalking his enemy.

Morgan smiled at Rachel's behavior, until she unconsciously made a sound, and it managed to make Rachel surprised and immediately turned around with the horses wanting to attack.

"Morgan? Why did you follow me here?" rachel asked with almost united eyebrows.

"Sorry miss, I was instructed by Mr. Edward that from today on I will be the personal bodyguard of the lady" Morgan replied with her flat face.

"W-what? How could ay.." Rachel's speech was cut off when she heard the sound of glass breaking.

Prang

In a hurry for Rachel and Morgan to find the source of the voice, even Morgan advanced first in front of Rachel, he wanted to ascertain if anyone else had entered his house. However, his eyes were fixed on his glass window which now looked hollow, and underneath it was a stone bound to something.

Rachel was about to pick it up, but Morgan held her hand quickly.

"Let me look at it, miss" said Morgan, then he quickly picked up the stone and removed what was currently tied to it and opened it.

"This is a photo, does the lady know him?" morgan asked to show a photo of 2 people sitting in a chair with their hands and feet tied.

"Dad, Mother?" Rachel was shocked to see the photo of Nola and Robert tied with a slightly bruised face as if he had been beaten up.

"Morgan, they caught my foster parents" said Rachel with teary eyes.

"Calm Miss," said Morgan, trying to calm Rachel's worries, "look behind this photo, it looks like there's a message" he continued, and Rachel immediately turned the picture around.

"Come to the empty building near the Rise River, don't take the police or anyone else if you want their lives to be saved!"
