Chapter 97
City Hospital.
  The next day.
Along with his Mother, Ezekiel Chen came to visit Lucia in the hospital with some fruits and snacks.
Lucia was lying in bed with her eyes closed but she wasn't sleeping.
She was thinking of Visiting Little Jemmy as soon as she got discharged from the hospital as it's been a while since she has seen the latter so she kind of missed her.
The door of the hospital opened and Lucia opened her eyes.
She thought it was her mom since the latter recently went out to get something.
She knew that no Stranger could enter the room anyhow since the floor was heavily guarded by Security guards from moon corps.
Advantage of being Acquainted with the Rich right? 
Unexpectedly it wasn't her mom but Ezekiel Chen and his mom.
She tried to sit up but stopped when she heard Mrs Chen's voice.
" You don't need to sit up, darling, you must still be tired. " 
" Umm.." 
" So how are you feeling now, darling? " 
" Am fine, Mrs. " 
" Am very glad to hear that. I brought some fruits for you . " 
" That's so sweet. Thanks. " She smiled.
" Umm, well. I guess Ezekiel here has something to talk to you about so I'll give you guys some privacy. " She said with a wink and soon left the room.
The room went back being eerie silent
" Hey.. " Lucia said breaking the awkward silence.
" Why didn't you speak up? " Ezekiel scolded.
" Uh? " 
" When you were accused wrongly why didn't you speak up in your defense? . You are always Sharp toothed so what happened there? Why didn't you bring them to their knees with your words? " 
" We both know very well that I can't do that, Kiel. " 
" Why? " 
" They are my elders, alright? and the one who ordered the punishment was my Principal and not a random student , you know. " 
" I know but you could have just spoken. Said something in your defense alright? " 
" I did but it all fell on deaf ears. They were some determined on punishing me to satisfy That Mrs Taylor's wishes. " 
" Mrs Taylor? The mother of William Taylor? " 
" Yes. How did you know William Taylor? " 
" Who doesn't? He's so popular for being Naughty and stubborn. He's  in D class and always taking the last position. No one has ever strived for that position with him . " 
" Really? Why didn't I know about it? " she pouted.
" How would you when you spend all your time reading? " 
" Anyways, he claimed I intentionally bumped into him so... " 
" Of course he will! He's a bully after all , so you were punished for something you didn't do.."
" Yeah... I guess. " 
" But I am sure that if they had known your identity they won't have treated you that way. " 
" Yeah, but partial treatment isn't alright? Okay? I don't want to be treated differently. What they did isn't right? Okay? . Just because his parents are influential doesn't mean anything okay? . He's nothing but a dumbass! " 
" I know, alright? but sometimes you have to make use of your identity for your own advantage " 
" Maybe. " 
" Anyways so when are you going to be discharged? " 
" Tomorrow or the day after tommorow. " 
" Okay, so what are your plans after being discharged? " 
" Nothing much, I'll just rest then head to Aunt Lucy's home on Saturday. " 
" Oh.." 
" What's wrong? " 
" Well, I was thinking.... Why don't we both do our Basic Science project together? " 
" Oh, why? . I thought the teacher said we can do it individually.." 
" I know but she specifically said it should be in group alright? " 
" No! I'd rather not do the assignment than to partner with those vultures for the project. " 
" There, there. I am not asking you to partner with the vultures. I was just thinking that maybe we should partner up and do it together.." 
" Hm... Let me think. " 
" What's there to think about now?. " 
" I have gotta think alright?. Anyways I agree. "

Outside the hospital room, at the corridor.
" Let me in! . Don't you know who I am? " Mrs Taylor yelled.
She was so determined to get in to the floor but the damned security men Didn't even allow her to pass.
Who are they anyways? 
Why are they guarding her this closely? 
It's not like she's some sort of a princess or something so why?
She started to feel envious all of a sudden.
What's so special about her that she's getting this level of special treatment? 
" We are sorry ma'am but we can't allow you to enter this floor without Miss Stella's consent. " 
" Stella Jackson? That ordinary manager who gave birth to a child out of wedlock?. " 
" Oh, I guess some people deserves to be taught a lesson. " Stella's voice rang out.
Mrs Taylor turned around and was Suprised to see Stella and a Tall man walking towards her.
" Miss Stella. " The bodyguards bowed in acknowledgement.
" Hm, don't mind us you can continue your work. " She said and the Bodyguards went back to their duty posts.
" So Mrs Taylor, what lottery did I win  to deserve you coming to visit Me personally?. " 
" Oh, I see that you've gotten a new escort with you here. I wonder how long you guys have been together and what your daughter will think when she finds out about the illicit relationship between you too. " 
" Are you threatening Me? " 
" Threaten? Oh no! I don't do threats. I was just telling you. " She smirked.
" Too bad, i don't need someone like you who have several secret boyfriends despite being legally married to advice me. " 
" How did you...? " 
" Oh, so it seems like I am correct. When I first found out I didn't want to believe it but now seeing your reaction I guess I'll just have to believe that it's true, after all. "
