Chapter 25: Relative
Enim called the customer line of the hospital as she anxiously waited for the call to get answered, after a while her system was relieved hearing the voice of a man.
"Hello, how may I help you?"
"Hmm, hi. I heard there is a patient in your hospital and I wanted to be sure whether she is there or not."
"Please could you tell me your relationship with our client?"
"She's my mother, and her name is Ana Zoon, I'm her daughter Enim Zoon. Please could I get an answer?"
"Oh, Ma'am, I'm sorry but due to protocol, I can't tell you on the phone, you have to come to the hospital if you want to receive any message that will become controversial with our company. "
"Okay, thank you, I'll meet with your company then," Enim said as she ended the call.
Throughout the night she couldn't help but feel anticipated, finally, she was going to find someone who could help her solve a part of this mystery.
At least she would be able to relieve her a bit.
Right?
If her instinct was right then her mother would be able to give her something that has to require Enim's life and since she's the only one who's living, she could tell her how the connection between Enim's father and her family came about.
Then she will be able to find out why Enim was connected to Vixen.
She went to bed but she couldn't sleep so she had to count sheep in her head till she fell asleep.
When she woke up earlier, she got herself prepared in a jiffy and then she was on the road on her way to the hospital.
Once she got to the hospital, she was in a hurry parking the car and then she headed for the lobby.
"Hi," she greeted the receptionist gaining attention.
"Hello, ma'am," the receptionist greeted back nicely.
"Hmm, my mother was admitted to this hospital, I'm Emin Zoon, I called last night-"
"Oh yes ma'am, she's at ward 6."
"But-" the receptionist was about to give her another piece of information but she was already on her way to the ward.
Enim raced in the direction, well she used her knowledge from her former residence.
When she got to the front of Enim's mother's room, she saw from the glass door the tubes that were connected to her body, which meant she was the same person she had seen yesterday.
"Mother," Enim said entering the room but when she looked to the side, she was stunned to see who sat on the couch.
"Vixen?" She called out with widened eyes.
"Wh-what are you doing here?" She questioned.
"Enim," Vixen stood up from his couch in surprise, and then, he walked toward Enim giving a kiss after he'd hugged her.
"Why are you here? I thought you were on a business trip?" Enim conversed.
"I was— I just arrived today, and I thought I come see your mother's condition before I head home."
"Oh, thanks."
"So you got injured, I heard it was pretty dangerous, I tried calling you but you weren't answering."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I had switched my phone, well about the injury, it wasn't that intense."
"You're covering up for her, aren't you?"
" What are you saying? "
Vixen raised an eyebrow as she Enim sighed, that meant he knew Phoebe did it.
"Why are you making it feel like I'm covering up for her? Both you and mum are just worried but I promise, I'm fine."
"Hmm," he nodded.
"So, what do you want to do?" Vixen asked.
"I came to also check on Mum, I figured out yesterday she was in this ward but I couldn't come to meet her, Phebe was so worried about me yesterday so I just let her take care of me. I ended up not coming to visit her," saying so, Prudence wondered why she was giving him an explanation so she diverted the topic.
"So how is she doing?" She added.
"She's recovering from her illness quite fast, soon enough she will wake up."
"Like how long will it take?"
"You're already missing her?"
"Is not just missing her, I need her to stay alive, after what that monster had done to her, I don't want her to continue suffering," Enim stated coldly as her eyes were set on Ana.
"And yes, thank you so much for fulfilling your promise, Vixen. I couldn't kill him but you were able to," Enim said as she turned to Vixen.
One thing she'd read in Enim's diary was about how she wanted her father to die but she knew she couldn't, Enim wrote about how Vixen was going to accomplish it.
Surprisingly, Vixen was fulfilling his promise to her, she'd wondered why he was doing according to what he had promised her.
"I didn't like one thing, he had a good funeral with good clothes on, I was expecting for some of his body parts to be damaged beyond repair and then no one would even try to take a look at him. And yet you still fulfilled a peaceful rite for him," Enim added with an infuriated smile.
"You wouldn't see that man any longer and about the clothing or the fitting for the burial if you didn't like that then-"
"I'm not annoyed about that, besides, I feel irritated hearing his name at least could we change the topic?"
"Like what?" Vixen spoke coldly yet seductively as he took a step toward Enim with his lips curled into a devilish smile.
"Oh Vixen, not like that, you're such a bad boy, we can't make out in the hospital."
"I wasn't thinking about that but it seems you've missed me so much so if you want then why don't we do that when we get to the house?"
"Hmmm, I was expecting a date for tonight."
"As you wish."
"When are you going to the house?" She inquired.
"I don't know, I thought I might wait for some minutes here but since you've arrived, I think I'll stay."
"Wait a minute, I wonder why I haven't thought of this, I'm the only one who has gotten the dress for the wedding. Aren't you going to shop for a wedding dress? My dear, I want to see if you will look like those handsome fairytale princes who arrive at the grand ball just to take the hands of their princess," she said with a chuckle as Vixen joined her but then he realized he'd heard the sentence before, Prudence once said those words and then he ended up in a frown.
"How do you know about that sentence?" He blurted out.
"What are you talking about?"
"What you said now, I've heard it from someone else."
"From who?"
"Prudence," he calmly stated and then Enim looked a bit stunned with an arched eyebrow.
"It seems you're reminded of her once again, I didn't think she was going to say something as I'll do. It's just a common sentence I heard and I thought I could use it to tease you. Seriously, Vixen, " she looked at him with a disappointed face.
Vixen heaved a deep breath as he placed his hands on her shoulder.
"Okay, I'm sorry, Enim. So which mall have you planned on?" He questioned as he gently used his hand to adjust her hair.
"I heard of a nice wedding mall, I think you'll look like a prince charming if you wear t
he boutique clothes they have. I'm sure it'll look nice on you."
