Dirty Affairs

CHAPTER 19 Cynthia Regretted Her Actions

It happened that the man in black outfit secretly drove and followed Cynthia's driver to know the hospital they were taking Sophia to.

The moment he was sure about the hospital, he drove back home to freshen up because of the mess he made earlier that night and was now wearing another dress with the same colour from his previous dress. He was still dressed in black.

After he was done freshening up, he was accompanied by a police officer as he drove back to the hospital.

At the hospital…

A strange black expensive car was parked inside the hospital premises.

The man in black outfit and a police officer sat quietly inside that car as he observed what's going on inside and outside the hospital.

Shortly, he sighted Cynthia walking out from the Doctor's office and by the help of the reflection of lights in the premises, he could clearly see Cynthia's facial expression. He knew the doctor must have told her something. That didn't bother him anyway but he had a plan he needed to accomplish that very night.

The moment he was sure Cynthia had walked back into the hospital room where Sophia was, he calmly climbed down from the car as the policeman followed him, heading towards the doctor's office. They got to the reception and requested to see the doctor and as usual, the receptionist called the doctor with the help of the office telephone and told him some people had come to see him, which he instructed her to let them in.

"Sir… this way please…" said the receptionist as she led them to the Doctor's office door. Once they got there, she walked back to the reception as the policeman knocked on the door.

"Come in, the door is open." Said a voice from the office as it echoed to the hearing of the policeman and the man in black outfit before they finally pushed the door open and walked in.

Inside the Doctor's office…

The sound of an opening door made the doctor divert his attention on the door to see who it was.

Behold, what he saw scared him a bit.

Seeing two strangers walk into his office to see him terrified him a bit. Not just a stranger but a policeman and a man in black outfit who dressed like an armed robber and whose face was barely seen because of the black face mask and the black face-cap he was putting on. Seeing those two strange men walk into his office really terrified him!

Good… good evening…" he stammered.

"Please have a seat." He said as he stood from his office seat and pointed at the two seats in front of him. There was a broad table in-between his seat and the seat he offered them to sit on.

"Please have a seat." He said again as they sat down before he finally took a seat as well.

The policeman and the man in black outfit sat down without saying a word as they focused their gaze on the doctor for few seconds which terrified the doctor the more.

Have I done anything wrong? He as asked himself inwardly as he nervously spoke.

"Welcome to my office. Please… how can I be of help?" He asked, hoping to get a response from the police man. He was so sure the man in black outfit won't attend to his questions because his

face looked emotionless. Even though the face-cap and the face mask prevented the doctor from seeing the face of the man in black outfit clearly, he knew he was a beast even without being told because his presence felt deadly. The doctor felt it.

"Please, can…" the Doctor couldn't finish his statement. The policeman was quick to interrupt him.

"Good evening. I'm inspector Jordan.." said the Police man as he showed off his ID card.

"We are here to investigate on a case and we will be accessing your CCTV camera." Said the policeman as the Doctor replied.

"Sure! Please, this way…" said the Doctor as he led them to the CCTV CAMERA MONITORING ROOM.

They got into the room as the doctor instructed the security guards to leave the room instantly and return once the policeman and the man in black outfit were done with their investigation which they obeyed. They all left the room, including the doctor.

Even though the police man lied about an investigation, the man in black outfit knew that was the only way to accomplish his mission for that night.

The moment everyone left the room, the policeman shut the door immediately.

"Focus the camera on the second floor. Inside the room where Cynthia and Sophia are." He instructed as the police man did as he had instructed.

He focused the camera on Sophia's hospital room and the moment he did, the man in black outfit saw Sophia and Cynthia through the Camera. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

"Activate the sound." He instructed and like an obedient servant, the policeman activated the sound immediately so they could hear Cynthia and Sophia's conversation.

The policeman and the man in black outfit sat quietly on a chair in front of the computers as they watched the girls through the camera.

They watched Cynthia stand from her seated position where she sat on a couch as she gently walked towards her lifeless friend.

"How I wish you could talk to me. I miss you sister." Said Cynthia as she sat beside Sophia on the hospital bed and started to caress Sophia's hair.

"I'm sorry sister." She said with a weak voice, a voice that sounded like a whisper Still caressing Sophia's hair.

"I'm so sorry sister… I caused all of this." She said as she stammered. "Please… sister… I'm… please forgive me." Said Cynthia as she burst into tears.

(Crying) "I shouldn't have brought you to that club. I'm so sorry sister. I was only happy for you because of your new job and we needed to celebrate. I had no bad intentions. Sister, if you can hear me, I'm deeply sorry. I shouldn't have left you all by yourself… I shouldn't have picked the call when my phone rang… I shouldn't have gone to use the restroom. I was unease… I needed to use the restroom… the moment I got there, my period came out and I had to look for a way to buy a sanitary pad. I didn't leave you intentionally… please, forgive me sister." She cried so bitterly that she knew she would never forgive herself for what she did. Her tears kept flowing as she gave Sophia a warm peck on her forehead. Sophia on the other hand couldn't speak. All she did was lie on that bed as she continued to look in a particular direction without blinking her eyes.

Cynthia saw the state her friend was in as she never stopped crying. What could she do after all? She also knew she was helpless. She wasn't in a position to help her best friend and the thought of it made her hate herself.

Meanwhile, The police man and the man in black outfit kept watching the girls with the help of the CCTV camera and the computer screen.

The police man on the other hand was confused as he wondered who those girls were. He also got curious why his boss (the man in black outfit) would pay him such a huge sum of money just to sit and watch two helpless girls.

'not my business after all. The good part is that I was paid for my service.' the policeman said to himself inwardly as he continued to watch the girls as if he was watching a movie.
