Chapter 15: She Didn't Secure Many Injuries
Jasmyn paced up and down in her hotel room not sure of who to inform about Zephyrine's situation. She knew without a doubt that Zephyrine was in serious danger and it seemed like it could cost her her life.
She stopped abruptly and picked up her phone. The only person who can save her and find her faster than anyone else is Kendrick Desjardins, her husband. Jasmyn knew that she was putting herself in danger by being the one informing the man but if she didn't do it, she wouldn't be able to live by herself.
She dialed his number with her chest nearly off the ground, but he didn't pick it up. Probably because he was thinking of what business he had with Jasmyn. But Jasmyn didn't give up as it was regarding someone's life. She kept calling until he picked it up.
"Shouldn't you understand that I am busy," that was the first thing that came out of his mouth the moment he answered. He was really being rude but Jasmyn won't use that against him now.
"I have an important information...Zephyrine is in danger," Jasmyn informed boldly, she knew for a fact that he wouldn't do anything to her now that he would be faced with taking care of Zephyrine. Unless what they share isn't love, but she also knows the character of her uncle.
The phone was silent for a few minute before Kendrick spat out coldly. "If anything happens to Zephyrine, you are dead!" Without waiting another second he hung up the call.
His voice was calm but his mind was a pure difference of what he sounded like. His mind became messy and the air around him changed. Who dared challenge him? He stood up and strode out, he had no particular place in mind but he needed to find his woman very quickly. If anybody gets to her before him that means he has failed his duty. And failing has never been a thing in Desjardins history.
He broke every driving limit while on phone with Matt, he asked for every information of who she had met and where she drove to, he gave him a very difficult task with little tike to report to him.
With the way his boss spoke, Matt knew that the person who did that is getting a death sentence without an argument. It has been a long time since he heard that chilly voice from his boss and it made him wonder how cold the air around him would be.
Matt carried out his tasks efficiently and reported to Kendrick who was fuming mad. When he got to know that his wife had been involved in an accident the anger in him rose topnotch. Who dares to do that?
He arrived at the crime scene and to Matt's luck he arrived a minute before his boss. But Kendrick met Matt pacing around the car with nothing to do.
Matt's only goal should be to save his madam but instead he looked confused and scared of what the result might be. Result if what exactly? As soon as he saw Kendrick arrive he breathed a sigh of relief. That means he doesn't have to worry how long Zephyrine would stay in the car anymore.
The accident doesn't look so serious, but Kendrick's eyes were so cold with no warmth. If gaze could kill, Matt would be dead and the car would be blazing right now. The car wasn't locked so Kendrick was able to get his wife easily. He carried her in his arms and hugged her tightly.
"Why did you call Jasmyn instead of me?"
"...."
How did he manage to switch his attitude in just a little time? Kendrick was unbelievable.
"Don't forget to bring Jasmyn to me," he said before leaving in his car.
Seems like Jasmyn got herself in trouble the moment she arrived in the city, but that's not all. The person who caused the accident hasn't been caught yet. As simple as the accident looked, there was much proof that it was planned. And that was the reward that comes with being involved with the Desjardins family.
Kendrick drove hurriedly to the hospital as if his life depended on it. But when they got to the hospital, he gave a clear warning to the doctors and the nurses to stay away from his woman.
The nurses and Doctors were scared of him and scared of what if something happened to the Devil's little doll. But they were in a panic because he didn't let them touch her at all. Instead of dropping her on the stretcher and having her wheeled to the emergency room, he clutched her tightly as if the hospital itself was poison to the lady's delicate body.
Kendrick stared continuously at her until he heard several clicking of shoes. The elevator opened and the only person capable enough to treat Mr. Desjardins wife arrived.
The doctors gasped including everyone around watching the scenario. Kendrick just made them incapable in front of the reputable doctor that just joined them in the scene.
The newcomer was Kendrick's good friend and a reputable doctor in the medical profession. He had discovered many illnesses and he went so far to the extent of finding the cure. That had earned him enough respect and many dignitary awards. Dr. Richard Clinton.
Richard on arrival handed a bottle of disinfectant to the nurses to clean the stretcher with. It was hand made by Richard himself and he brought it to the hospital with him on the request of Kendrick.
The nurses took it and cleaned the stretcher as quickly as they could. Kendrick swiftly laid Zephyrine on the stretcher before she was willed into the emergency room.
Before Richard entered, Kendrick gave him the dos and don't.
"Are you teaching me my work?"
"If that's what you see it as, now get your ass there and get my wife treated. I want no scar on her body by the time you are done."
Kendrick doesn't need to be told that an operation would be performed on her so that she would recover quickly.
Richard shrugged his shoulders, he was used to that dude attitude of Kendrick. He doesn't need Kendrick to downgrade him.
Kendrick waited outside of the emergency room waiting for Matt to bring Jasmyn and bring the heads of those who did it to him. But Matt never appeared until the surgery was successfully performed on her.
He sneered seeing how ineffective Matt had become all of a sudden. Not his fault though.
Richard came out of the emergency room with an air of that of a young master. He looked at Kendrick smugly and arrogantly, it was a look that says 'i am better off than you'd
"Is she awake?" Kendrick questioned.
It was a weird question, because she was supposed to be asleep because she just underwent an operation. But Kendrick knew better because he had been under the operating light several times.
"Give her ten minutes to calm down until you see her. Anyway, as per your request, I made sure she didn't secure much injuries."
That was to tell Kendrick not to get his hopes up so high.
While they were speaking, Matt arrived at the corner with Jasmyn looking at the floor dejectedly. She must be feeling guilty….for what?
"Boss," Matt made their presence known. He wouldn't stay long in the hospital because he still had to deal with some set of people, but still Kendrick should acknowledge him.
But instead of doing that, Kendrick turned to Jasmyn. "Should I get your legs cut off or your fingers chopped off?"
"Huh?" Jasmyn trembled with fear, it wasn't an empty threat, that scene had played in her front before. She knew that it carried a lot of weight. Would Kendrick really cut off her parts because of Zephyrine?
Jasmyn fell to the floor and started wailing thinking that would help change his mind.
"Uncle, you know I….."
"Ms. Jasmyn, you have been requested to be seen by Mrs. Desjardins," a nurse came out and informed respectfully.
Just when Jasmyn thought her life was about to come to an end, her friend rose up from nowhere and came to her rescue. She wouldn't miss that opportunity for anything, she ran into the ward as fast as she could
