Turn of Events

Faye is unconscious for five straight days. Leigh and Czerene worry, especially since Raven is awake.

They can't help but fear that the accident has some effects on their best friend.

Leigh is anxious as Czerene keep calming her.

"Stop worrying. Faye will wake up in no time." Czerene convinces Leigh.

"You sure, what if that doctor is an ally of his stepfather? How we can be so sure he is telling us the truth?" Leigh asks uneasily.

She can't help but overthinks about what will happen to Faye, knowing that all that surrounds Faye is against her.

Faye's mother is not with herself, emotional and mentally unstable. Faye's mother relies too much on Faye's stepfather.

Faye's stepfather, manipulating everyone. First, Faye's mother, the citizen of the city, the Board Council of Zenith University.

Faye's stepfather tries so hard to hide his wickedness and evil deeds.

Faye always tells them how she never trust his stepfather, how Faye has dreadful feelings towards him.

Mr. Arkin's appearance in Chennester's family after Mr. Chennester died is suspicious, but no one dared to question it.

Mr. Arkin still one of the stockholders of their company, next to Mr. Chennester. Vice president of Mr. Chennester assigned to take care of the business overseas.

A lot of issues have arisen as the company keeps on growing. Mr. Arkin takes over the management when Mr. Chennester died, but no one expects.

Mr. Arkin Reinkenson, a great business partner of Mr. Chennester and the one he trusts the most.

The rumors break out that Mr. Chennester's deaths are all well planned. Rumors silence and vanishes quickly.

Leigh pities her friend. She can't ignore that her friend is a victim of Mr. Arkin's game.

Leigh sighs as she stares at her friend still sleeping in the bed.

Leigh gazes at Czerene, peeling the apple. Still, they need to attend the University for classes. In between breaks, they immediately go to the hospital.

In three days, she and Czerene stay at the hospital to watch over their best friend.

That how much they care and love each other. Feeling uneasy, not until Faye is awake.

Leigh looks at her wristwatch, "Czerene time for my classes." she said gloomily.

"Okay, I'll stay here till you come back," Czerene says.

Czerene sacrifices her school schedules, talking to her professors to catch up at different times, studies on her own, and pass special projects and exams.

Czerene has a "special class" for three days. It is allowed by the University. Everything is possible as long as the students want it.

Czerene requests a "special class" for both of them to take care of Faye while she is in the hospital. Leigh is glad that Czerene does it for her and Faye.

It's still early for Leigh's class, but she gets off the hospital to have some fresh air outside. A lot is consuming her thoughts includes Lexus is nowhere.

For three days, Lexus is not attending his classes. Ken and Raven don't talk anything about him.

Raven is up and doing his therapy, his mother always in the hospital to take care of him. Faye's mother didn't even peek in her room.

Leigh kicks the fallen leaves as she passes by. She stops on a bench and looks at the sky for her everything looks gloomy.

Leigh closes her eyes for a while;

"You seem very stress," Leigh hears the voice of a woman.

Leigh quickly opens her eyes and looks at her. The woman wears a fedora hat, shaded blue eyeglasses, and a stylish coat. The woman seems in her 40's. The woman smiles at Leigh.

"Why you look so surprised?" The woman asks.

"Have you already eaten?" The woman once again questions, puzzles her.

"Who are you?" Leigh is curious.

"I will tell you everything about me if you could please spare me some time so we can have some coffee. I'm dying to drink one." The woman answers.

"How could you convince me to trust you that easy?" Leigh scoffs.

The woman takes out a picture. There's three-person in the photo, Faye's mother and that woman in front of her, and a five-year-old girl. Leigh looks at it closely; her eyes widen when she sees she is Faye.

The one with the picture is a five-year-old Faye. She knows for the reason she saw a lot of Faye's childhood photos.

Leigh quickly gets the picture; she inspects it. "How could I know it's real?" she asks.

"I have a lot of proofs," The woman winks at her.

"I want you to bring me to where my niece is," The woman said.

"Your niece' Leigh asks.

"Yes, my niece. I'm Faye's auntie, the one and only sister of Faye's mother." The woman tells her.

The woman brings out her identification card,

Ms. Airelle Llanzvidz, Leigh read the card.

"You live overseas," Leigh mutters.

"Yes, I live there and enjoy my life, but there are things that are happening here that needed my urgent attention." The woman named Airelle speaks gracefully.

"Urgent attention, you mean what happens to Faye. It's about the accident?" Leigh asks

"Yes," Airelle answers briefly.

"But first, bring me to a coffee shop and let me buy myself a coffee, and Mr. Arkin and my sister should not know I'm here. In the meantime. I need you to bring my message to her; I can't show up at this very moment," Airelle explains.

"Why?" Leigh inquisitive.

"Mr. Arkin on watch, and he held my sister on her neck." Airelle's voice is furious.

Leigh knows there is an in-depth story behind Mr. Arkin taking over Chennester's company and marrying Faye's mother.

Leigh still doesn't trust the woman, but she feels she has no choice but also gamble in this game.

Faye needs her help, and her best friend, Leigh, needs to do something to help Faye. She can unravel the story behind Mr. Arkin and the sudden appearance of this woman.

Leigh takes a breath; still, she needs to entertain her doubts.

"How could I trust you?" Leigh asks, looking intently in her eyes.

"I don't need your trust. My niece needs me and my help." Airelle looks at her with determined looks.

Leigh thinks for a while and gets up, "I will take you to a coffee shop, but I will never buy you any coffee."

"Sure, I have money to buy for myself. I can even buy for you." Airelle smiles.

Leigh walks as the woman follows before they reach the cafe. Leigh stares at her weirdly, and she can't help but asks.

"Why you dress that way? You're getting a lot of attention."

"It's my style," Airelle answers casually.

"Okay," Leigh shrugs it off.

"You have the celebrity elitist vibe," Leigh comments.

"I'm a fashionista," Airelle answers.

"I can't believe that you're siblings. You are so different from one another." Leigh commentaries.

"We are very different," Airelle replies.

"I'm nowhere near her; let's say I'm far better. The not insecure and the unbothered one." Airelle continues.

"It seems you're not on good terms with you're sister." Leigh notices.

"Well, we don't grow up together, so we grow apart." Airelle sighs.

"I can't go and meet my niece. I can't let my sister's current husband know I exist. You have to give my message to her. Faye needs to know I'm here." Airelle said firmly.

"Why?" Leigh asks

"At the right time, I will let you know; the important thing is to let Faye know I'm here." Airelle stares at Leigh.

"But Faye is still asleep," Leigh reveals.

"I know. I will stay in the country for a while till she's awake. I hope she wakes up soon." Airelle clasps her hands together seems like praying.

Leigh's cellphones ring as she sees the caller on the screen; it's Czerene.

Leigh quickly answers, "Hello Czerene, Is there something wrong?"

"Leigh," Czerene gasp before saying a word. "Faye awakens." she finally says.

Leigh smiles brightly and looks at Ms. Airelle anxiously waiting.

"She's awake. Faye is awake." Leigh almost shouts.

Ms. Airelle smiles at the news; her face brightens "good, then," She comments.

"Let's go" Leigh suddenly gets up and about to leave when Ms. Airelle holds her hand and stops her.

"Call her again, I need to talk to my niece," Ms. Airelle said.

"What?" Leigh confused.

"I told you I cannot go there to see her." Ms. Airelle reminds her.

"Oh," Leigh realizes as she gets her phone and calls Czerene.

Leigh hears Czerene answers the phone, "Hello," she answers.

"Czerene, how's Faye?" Leigh asks

"The doctor is checking her," Czerene reports.

"The doctor," Leigh repeats.

"The family Doctor of Chennerster's?" Ms. Airelle questions.

"Czerene, is it Doctor Montez?" Leigh asks.

"Yes, "Czerene replies

"Good then, video call your friend." Ms. Airelle suddenly said

"Czerene, I will open the video. I want to have a video call with you. I want to see Faye," Leigh persuades her.

"Okay," Czerene agrees.

The video call is open; Leigh and Ms. Airelle see Faye's room and Doctor Montez together with three nurses checking Faye's condition.

"Doctor Montez," a voice echoes.

Doctor Montez flinches as he recognizes the voice. He turns and checks.

Doctor Montez is surprised to see Ms. Airelle on the screen,

"How are you? It's been years since we didn't see each other." Ms. Airelle smiles warmly at Doctor Montez.

"Ms. Airelle, how are you?" Dr. Monez greeted him warmly

"Did you call to check on your niece's condition?" Dr.Montez asks.

"Partly yes, I do want to know her condition. How is she?" Ms. Airelle asks.

"Faye is good. She is not with herself yet. She is recovering from the mental trauma she experiences. Her body needs to recover too. Now she is awake. We better start the therapy for her injuries would heal and be better." Dr. Montez suggests.

"I get it. I have one favor, doctor. I hope you do you're best to heal my niece." Ms. Airelle pleads.

"Further examinations will be done tomorrow. Our healing recommendations will be base on the medical results." Dr. Montez explains.

"What further test you will do, Doctor?" Ms. Airelles asks

"We will do a CT scan to know if his brain has no damage in the sudden collisions and impact she experiences in the accident." Dr. Montez proposes.

"Okay, I understand," Ms. Arielle answers.

"Have you speak to my sister or Faye's stepfather about it?" Ms. Airelle continues,

"No, I haven't yet. Right now, I check Faye's body conditions, pulse rate, heartbeat, blood pressure, hearing, eyesight, and reflexes. All is good, and Faye follows my command well. I think for today, I can say there's no problem. You are the first person I talk to as Faye's family." Doctor Montez answers.

"Doctor Montez, you know I'm not on good terms with the Chennester, so please, I want to check my niece, that's all. Can you please not tell them that we talk." Ms. Airelle's voice is pleasing.

Doctor Montez sighs, seem like thinking. "Okay, I got it. Don't worry," he assures her.

Ms. Airelle smiles ", Thank you, Johnny." she answers in a sweet voice.

Doctor Montez gasps, "I better go. I have a lot of work to do" he smiles timidly and excuses himself.
