Chapter 58: I couldn't understand where I had lost it.
Upon Aria's haste to complete her work for the day at her office, she got to Beauty's home quite late.
On her way, she had gotten different vegetables and nutritious raw food for her, she knew how to be care for a sick person.
"Second big sis, I am so sorry for coming late and please accept this on my behalf". She gave her the big polythene bag she was carrying.
"What a darling!". She appreciated Aria, smiling at her.
"Come sit down dear. So what would you like me to help with?". She asked her as she was pouring Aria a drink.
"Have it". She handed it to her.
"Thanks sis". She smiled.
"It is this design that I am working on". She dropped her drink and brought out her drawing book.
"Okay. Firstly, what was your inspiration towards it, what brings up this collection?". Beauty asked.
"I thought about the environment, mostly nature. That is why there are more of flower patterns on it".
Beauty nodded her head in response, finding her inspiration interesting.
"And you are planning to make this collections in various clothings and styles right?". She asked again.
"Yes sis, but how to go about this pattern had being stressing me out lately. That why I need your help". She looked worried and frustrated.
"Darling, I love the way you are handling your company. A lot of young girls like you perch around men to give them money and do other things for them. I am happy you didn't allow your family's wealth to deceive you, you need to work for yours". She said excitedly.
"I promise to help you with everything I can. Let's begin from your initial drawing". Beauty took her drawing and started pointing to some parts.
Aria's enthusiasm arose as she pictured what Beauty was describing to her.

Night....
"Mr Silver, your wife is fine now. Seems she had gone through the stress of trying to reason about something new to her or she saw something terrifying. All these can trigger her brain to function out of the normal range". Doctor Jett explained.
"She really need a lot of rest and a serene environment, shedding her away from opposition crisis". He awaited Scott response.
"I thought you had treated her well?". His face looked cold as he looked at the doctor.
"Ye, ye, yes, I did". He quickly bowed his head.
"So why were you so confident in my presence now? I hope she is fine, so I won't lock you up for days". He moved closer and adjusted the doctor's tie.
"You can leave". His voice was cold and gentle.
Doctor Jett ran out of the room in fear, his stethoscope dangled along with him as he walked out.
"Baby, are you okay?" His voice was solemn as he speak.
Flora turned her face to him, she couldn't speak loudly, her throat was aching.
"I am having a severe headache". She touched her hot head, she was feeling hot all over.
Scott got more worried, he quickly took the pill the doctor had left. He brought a glass of water to her mouth and feed her the drug.
Flora swallowed the drug, she felt a bit eased after the intake. "I'm feeling better now, I'll just take a nap".
Scott nodded and kissed her forehead. The hotness had run down a little, he felt a little better as he watched her sleep.
To him, it seems something was wrong, since she had woken up. She had never talked about her injury or ask about it.
Scott wondered if she had lost her memory, but he remembered she recognized everyone and was acting fine. He decided to talk to her about it when she gets better.
.........
Maxson rolled on his bed from time to time, he found it difficult to sleep thinking about Joan. He had promised himself not to call nor text her.
"If she thought it was easy to leave someone you love, then I'll make it easy for her".
..... If you break my heart
Where will I go? I can't stumble on you.
Feel me with my tone and beat and heart
We are meant to be together....
As Maxson dialed Aria's contact, a song continued to play. It gave him the memory that could make him feel bad and regret.
He regretted approaching her, he couldn't believe a woman would pay him back this way. He had played numerous girls, nemesis had come back asking him.
He needed someone to talk to, Aria was his buddy from day one. She had been the only one who understands him and could play with him all day long.
"Hello buddy". He said to her immediately the call connected.
Aria raised her eyes up, she wondered what he was after this night. "Why aren't you sleeping? And what information do you want to get from me this night?". She asked.
"I just want to....". He didn't know what to say.
"That I miss you". Their relationship was so bonded and close.
Aria laughed. "I miss you too, but isn't that for Joan?".
She was surprised, detecting a tone of sadness in his voice.
"Yes, I miss her, but she had sent me a message not look for her". He said as if he was about crying.
"Bro, why would she do that? Do you offend her? Or why would she act like that all of a sudden? Huh!". She exclaimed.
"Since that act, I got the message from her the next day". He said.
"Ouch! I don't think she ever loves you". She uttered the statement Maxson had never want to hear.
"Yes I think so. Also, she just suddenly change, moving from an innocent individual to someone with schemes".
He sighed, his hands on his jaw as he thought deeply.
"Big bro, you need to just forget about her. She isn't even ready for you". Aria advised him.
"Sure, that was what I have been thinking all through. It fine dear, you can go to bed now".
"Okay Big bro, take care of yourself".
The siblings bided themselves farewell as they ended the phone call.
.........
Midnight....
"Why are you still up?". Flora sat up on the bed, she had wondered why he would still stay up all night working.
"I'll be done with this soon". Scott quickly went to hug her.
"No I can't sleep alone, I need you by my side". She decided to force him to sleep.
"Alright, I will join you on bed then". He stood up to clear the files on the bedroom desk and close his system. He knew she was purposely doing it, and he never wants to trigger her health, that would be so bad for him also.
"Honey, let's go visit grandma and mum tomorrow. Grandpa and dad would have missed us too". She smiled excitedly, touching his cheek as he lied down beside her.
Scott hugged her to himself and kissed her deeply. "Yes love, we would go tomorrow".
