Ellie’s POV
"These legs of yours, Ma'am, do you still feel pain?" asked the nurse who was currently inspecting my two legs. He gently touched my left foot with a bandage.
I nodded. “Yes, but only occasionally. Not unlike last week when I was really dealing with the pain in my two legs. ”
A few days have passed since I regained my consciousness.
I feel that the medicine I am taking is working because my wounds no longer hurt so much. I was slowly moving my two arms but my legs, I still couldn't move. They are still heavy and I can’t move so I’m still lying down in my bed until now.
Even if I wanted to get out of this bed, I couldn't. My legs are still too weak to walk.
"It's normal that you can't move it yet, especially since your legs were badly hit by the car. But based on our observation, your recovery is fast. I won't be surprised if one day, you can walk again. We just need to do some therapy to keep the veins in your legs alive,” the nurse explained.
What he said gave me hope. I can't wait to walk either. I’m sure that by the time I can walk again, my memories will come back, too.
I can’t wait for that day.
I just smiled at them and let them change the bandage on my foot. I didn't complain because they were very careful with every move the do, they carefully held my foot so that I wouldn't get hurt.
Señorito Keeion hired two private nurses to take care of me, a woman and a man. Their family doctor also visits me every day just to monitor my condition.
I was amazed at that man’s super wealth. It's also expensive so to pay for a private nurse and look, he hired not just one, but two nurses! Is he so excited for my fast recovery? Maybe yes? Maybe he wants me to get well as soon as possible so I can get out of here right away. He probably didn't want to see me at their house anymore and scolded him.
I remember our conversation last week. He hasn't lost his bad look on me since I answered him in the negative way. But of course, I'm still scared of him because just the way he looks, obviously you don't like what he does when his patience is gone. But I still wouldn't mind it, I didn't want to be scared by him.
But wait, I can't leave here right away. Based on what he said, I have to pay for what he spent on me. As if I wanted him to help me.
I will be his personal assistant once I recover.
Of all the people in the world, he was the one who helped me! If it's not him who had helped me, I probably wouldn't have paid anything because they are willing to help without any exchange, not like that man!
I was mad at him for not letting me complain. I will be his personal assistant whether I don't want to and when I want to. What annoyed me even more was when he forced me to swear in front of the camera.
Yes! The video recorder shows that I swore to be that man’s personal assistant!
That would be his evidence in case I ran away from him with what he spent to help me.
After all, that's not helping. Is there any help that will be paid for in the end?
I got even angrier with that Keeion!
"Is there other medicine she needs to take?" Arya appeared next to the two nurses when they finished changing the bandage on my legs.
There are two nurses already taking care of me, but she still stays in the room and still watches over me. Doesn’t she trust these two so she still needs to be vigilant?
Nurse Ria answered Arya's question. “No more, Miss Arya. Ma’am Ellie had already taken her medications in the morning. The next medicine will be at one o'clock later. ”
Arya nodded and then turned to me. "Do you want to go out?"
I think she noticed that I was feeling bored here. Well, it's true. I did nothing but lie down, eat and watch movies on the 75-inch flat screen tv attached to the wall.
I just nodded to Arya and she got my answer right away.
She told nurse Hans to get the wheelchair downstairs so I could be moved there. There is no problem because I can sit properly now. The nurse immediately obeyed Arya's order. He went out of the room and took wherever that wheelchair was.
Arya accompanied nurse Ria in supporting my back so that I could sit on the headboard that's why I could stare at Arya closely.
She's beautiful.
I've been with her for a few days. I noticed her natural beauty. Even if she only does light makeup, she still looks beautiful. She also has a chinita eyes like me, a sharp nose and thin lips. Her complexion is very smooth. People who lives in this household has a flawless skin because all the rooms was air conditioned.
I can't figure it out but I'm comfortable with Arya. She's kind and friendly.
Even if I woke up that day that I was surprised and scared of them, when a few days passed, I was no longer afraid to feel when they were with me. Because they are nice to me, they still treat me well even though they are aware that their Señorito only helped me and didn't know who I am.
I hope that their Señorito is kind like them.
As I leaned against the headboard of the bed, nurse Hans entered the room with the wheelchair. He immediately placed it next to the bed and arranged it for me to sit on.
The nurse slowly lifted me into a wheelchair. He didn't have a hard time because I wasn't heavy. Arya and the other nurse leaned behind me until nurse Hans sat me down properly.
"Aren't your wounds painful anymore?" Arya asked, turning around to face me. “Are you comfortable sitting in that wheelchair?”
"Yes, I'm fine with it." I smiled.
She smiled back at me. I really feel like I can close Arya quickly. She was really kind to me. Ever since I woke up, she has been by my side. Just like Aunt Cora who actually came up here on purpose just to greet me.
Nurse Hans fixed my foot on the footrest in the wheelchair. He made sure it would not be touched or fall. I still can't control my legs. I can't move it yet so the two nurses are helping me to move it.
"Let's let Ellie breathe on the veranda," said Arya.
The two followed.
They have a veranda? I shouldn't be surprised because the room where I sleep is also evidence of the super wealth of the family that owns it. With the extra size of this room, it can be used as a living room, kitchen and a room for the common individual.
I'm expecting that the view on the veranda will be very relaxing.
First to leave the room was Arya who was followed by nurse Hans and me. The male nurse is pushing the wheelchair because he has enough strength to do that compared to nurse Ria. Another nurse was just behind us while holding the water tumbler in case I was thirsty.
When we left the room, I was even more amazed at the wealth of this house. The whole hallway is made of wood but obviously super durable wood was used. The walls in the hallway are lined with large paintings, those abstract paintings that look like they were made by artists from other countries and they bought those with expensive prices. There are also huge antique vases there with colorful flowers.
The whole house is dark brown in color, it is suitable with the materials used because everything is made of wood. I feel like I’m in ancient times. The house is inspired by heritage houses mixed with modern house design.
The luxuries enjoyed by everyone who lives here are evident.
They are right, this mansion is worth billions.
Until we got to the veranda, I still couldn’t help but marvel at the beauty of its design and view. With every piece of equipment we pass, it’s embarrassing to touch because they might get dirty, it’s obvious that those things are too expensive.
There is a living room set there in the middle, two long sofas full of throw pillows and three single sofas. On the left side is a round bed lounge chair and a rattan egg hanging chair. There's so many vacant chairs here. Even if it rains, you can still stay here because there is a wooden roof and wooden railings.
Arya sat on the long sofa that even though I can't sit down there right now, I know it will swell with too much softness.
We walked towards the railings to see the view.
"Wow!" I exclaimed when I saw the vast expanse of land overlooking this veranda. I didn’t know what floor it was, as long as I knew it was high and I could see the beautiful view.
I glance around. If I’m not mistaken, this mansion is in the middle of the vast land that is here. I also saw in the distance the high wall that I thought was the main gate. You can't walk to it because it's so far away. You will probably need to take any kind of vehicle to get to the main gate and get out of this area. There are some parts that are cemented and it was for the driveway leading here to the mansion.
I can see a lot of crops. On the left is a large plot of land planted with a variety of flowers. On the right side are vegetables and fruits planted. I see a lot of people and they seem to be managing every crop out there. There are others who are currently harvesting crops.
In front of the mansion is an open ground. That’s wide and in fact, you can play golf.
"As Aunt Cora said, you are here at Casa Hacienda de Ruizita." I looked at my side because Arya suddenly appeared there. She looked at the beautiful view and my vision returned there as well. "This is the vast land owned by the Ruiz family, the family of Señorito Keeion."
Their family is so rich!
Almost everything is already in them, especially the luxurious life. Even if they don’t work anymore, they will still leave the world of being rich.
I was just wondering why I even had to pay for that man to help me? The value of his help to me was like a coin to them.
“Then, why is your Señorito Keeion still leaving? I mean, why is he still working in Manila? And where are your Boss's parents? Where are his siblings? ” I asked a series of questions. "I want to thank them for letting me stay here."
I want to get to know his family. Maybe they would be kinder and let me ‘don’t pay for the help that came from that man’.
“Señorito Keeion is the only child of Señora Mila and Señor Alejandro. Señora Mila passed away a long time ago and only Señor Alejandro and the family of his Uncle Sebastian are Señorito's family left. ”
I couldn't speak right away because I was somehow saddened by what Arya said. It turns out that Señorito Keeion is orphaned by his mother. He isn't even blessed for having siblings.
"Where is Señor Alejandro?" I asked again.
She glared at me, but immediately returned it to the view. “Señor is with Señorito in Manila. They run a lot of businesses there so they can't come home here. But that was not a problem because they had trusted people assigned to handle the entire hacienda, including me. ”
I nodded. Just wow! I was probably in the house of one of the richest families in the country. The Ruiz family is a multi-billionaire!
Arya told me more about this hacienda. It's interesting to listen to her because I'm interested in this topic. I don't know but I feel like I was living here in hacienda a long time ago . I wanted to know something else about this place.
When I felt dizzy because I had been sitting here in a wheelchair for a few minutes, Arya and I went back to the room.
While we were in the hallway, I noticed a room next to the room where I was staying. I don’t know but I stopped nurse Hans from pushing me. I stared at the door of that room.
I can’t figure out why that room got my attention. There is nothing special about it and that door is almost the same as my bedroom door.
"Why, Ellie?" Arya asked. There was a hint in her voice that she was curious when I stopped.
"W-Whose room is that?" I asked, still not taking my eyes off the room I was referring to.
“That's an old room of Señorito Keeion and has now closed. It is strictly forbidden to enter that room. No one tried to enter there and only Señorito Keeion had the right to enter. ”
I don’t know, I'm very curious in that room. Maybe curiosity about things is really in my blood. Curiosity lives on in me.
There is a part of me that motivates me to enter the room.
I wanted to know what was inside the room.Download Novelah App
