Chapter 30 Terrified

By the help of the housekeeper and her assistant, Siren slowly recovers her health. Though she's still suffering from anxiety, at least she can slowly manage to gain her weight back.
"Did Harry called you if he's coming today?" She asked the housekeeper when she saw her cleaning on the living room.
"I didn't receive any call from Mr. Spencers. Why? Is there something that Miss Siren need?"
"No. I'm just wondering. It's already eleven o'clock but he's not around yet." She frowned. Harry had never been late even a single time. If he has something urgent to do, he probably calling her first. But today is different.
She walked towards the glass wall. It's raining outside as she looks beyond.
After few minutes, the rain stops already and it will be lunchtime soon but no Harry is coming.
She's growing impatient while time keeps running and he's not showing any sign that he'll come today.
Fifteen minutes after twelve, she decided to call Felix's secretary.
"Did Harry came over there?"
"Harry Spencers?" The woman asked.
"Yes. He's not here, I'm wondering if he's there. "
"No, Miss Siren. Mr. Spencers never been here since Mr. Wines asked him to stay along with you."
"Oh."
"Yeah."
An idea flashes across her mind.
"Can you give me his home address then?"
"Sure."
The woman tell her the address and she wrote it down.
After she hunged up, another problem came into her mind. How will she be able to get there? Taxi? No. She has a car. But she didn't know how to drive.
Ask Felix? No. She didn't want to get scolded. Besides he's working right now.
After a long time sitting on the couch, she had a sudden idea!
-------
Jeff Court saw a familiar figure walking across the street. She's holding a folded umbrella while walking towards the cafe next to the building where she lives.
It was already lunchtime and he's not having idea what he should eat and he's really hungry.
It's been a while since he last saw the young lady in flesh. He heard from the housekeeper that's she's sick but now she looks well.
He decided to get some food for his grumbling stomach. The cafe where the lady goes is good so he decided to go there as well.
He roam his gaze around to check her spot. Luckily, she's sitting on the corner and her back facing the cafe's entrance.
Just before he could call the waiter, a lady crew already came. Smiling, she handed him a sticky note.
'I need your help- S'.
Obviously, it was from the young lady. He look at her direction just to see her smiling sheepishly while giving him a peace sign.
Jeff frowned but decides to rose from his seat.
" What do you want?" He asked with a straight face.
"Drive me to Harry's home." She said.
It was not a request or a plead. It was merely an order.
" And why would I?" He raised his eyebrow.
" Why won't you?" She talks back.
"You have a car, why don't you go there yourself?"
"You're following me , why don't you drive for me?"
The annoyance in his face was really obvious. If this lady was born as a man, he would never care about beating her ass off. Lucky for her that she's a woman.
"Look, I'm hungry now and I want to eat. Why don't you just call him to come instead?"
"I'm hungry and I want to eat too. But I can't reach his phone so I need to find him."
"Then go. Don't disturb me for having my lunch just because you want to find your sitter." He stood up but she speaks again.
"I need to go around the place and no one will accompany me if he's not around. I'm hungry too so I want to go to him now. You're not going to do his job so why don't you do this favor for me just once?" She gave him a stern face.
She heard him sigh after a while.
"Where's the address?"
Siren hold herself not to smile.
--------
After ten minutes of driving, they reached the address that Felix's secretary gave.
It was a four-storey apartment in southern part of the city. The building looks too old and cheap.
"It's raining, so you better stay here." Jeff said before getting off the car.
Siren silently following him her gaze as he walks in the building.
She patiently wait there for five minutes but decide to follow him up soon after thinking he was taking so long.
It was fourth floor room 408.
She quickly saw Jeff standing in front of the open door.
"Jeff! Did you find Harry?" She quickly walks to reach him. But before she could take a glimpse on what he's looking at, he turn around and locked her in his arms. He held her head and buried her face into his chest.
"Close your eyes and don't look at him."
With his words, the sudden creepy feeling enveloped her chest.
He pushed him hard but he was holding her so tight.
"What's going on?"
----------
She can't stop herself from crying. Jeff was driving his car so fast to maintain its close distance to the ambulance.
Harry was there and the medical team was reviving him.
She recalls how miserable Harry looks like when they came.
He's pretty face were full of scattered blood stain and was swollen. He's not wearing any shirt and that made them see all the bruises he got.
He was half dead by being badly beaten.
When they reach the hospital, she immediately got off the car and followed the team that carrying Harry.
" Harry? You hear me? Harry just hold yourself okay?" Her tears were flowing freely from her eyes. She was so scared but she can't let his hand go. "Harry, please wake up..."
"You can't get inside, please wait here." The nurse blocked her way and closed the door of the emergency room.
"Don't cry, he'll be alright."
Siren fell off crying. She's crying so bad that she starts to feel losing her breathing.
" Jeff... Jeff... He's... he'll... be okay... ri-right? She sobs.
" Get up. You shouldn't be sitting on the floor like that. " He tried to get her up.
" Jeff... I... I... Can't... Breath..." Siren unconsciously fell. Luckily, Jeff was already holding her when lose consciousness.
"Nurse!"
---------
Sylvia and Greg rushes to the room where Siren was lying on the bed.
She was having oxygen mask and on her hand, there's a dextrose syringe inserted.
"What happened?" Sylvia faces Jeff.
"She was in distressed when she saw her assistant almost dead. Then she told me she can't breath and then she fell off." He explained.
"Assistant?" Greg faced him too.
"Yeah. The one that looking after her this past few weeks." Jeff nodded. "The young lady asked me to drive to her assistants place. But we found out that he was badly beaten and almost life less on the floor. The young lady was terrified that she loses her breath and faint."
The two helplessly looked at their daughter. Sylvia wiped Siren's tears as they falling from her eyes.
"How's her assistant now?"
"He's in the recovery room."
Sylvia nodded and look at Greg's face worriedly.
Siren's face looks so vulnerable. She knows that her daughter get sick. But she didn't have any idea that she loses her weight excessively.
"Transfer her to the bigger hospital in town. She needed to be treated well." Greg said.
" I guess you can't do it right now, Sir." Jeff interrupt him. "I'm sure she'll look for Harry when she wakes up."
