One Night With The Prince
/ One night with the Prince 104 A Friend or a Foe? 3
Alexa's eyes widened when she heard her Mother's name. Meanwhile, Daniel's doesn't' have much reaction and so as Ms. Garcia. Greg, on the other hand, was watching his wife's reaction after mentioning the name Chrissy. Furthermore, it's like she doesn't care at all, whoever this Chrissy person might be.
Alexa was about to ask more questions. Curiosity was showing on her face. Unfortunately, she was stopped by her brother by holding at her hands and squeezing it lightly. Alexa got the hint and decided to go along and stopped. But, in her mind, 'this is not the end, I want to know more, I will find out more from you.' She thought as she looked at Greg, who's seating quietly after the revelation and still with his poker face.
However, Daniel was not buying any of his act. He knew that this man in front of them knows something and his not telling. Daniel would not let it slide no matter what, especially if it's an information to help lessen the burden and anxiety that Alexa's currently showing on her face.
Daniel doesn't mind digging more in-depth, and he plans on doing just that as soon as he gets a chance.
Everyone suddenly becomes quiet, and no one said a word, the atmosphere inside the room becomes uncomfortable, and Ms. Garcia was at lost for words. She suddenly felt a big headache and began sweating furiously.
Greg saw this and excused himself and got up to get what it seems to be a needle and a tube of some medicine. He prepared it, and once it's ready, he went towards Ms. Garcia. "How are you feeling? Headache? lift your arms..." He ordered her without batting an eye.
Ms. Garcia raised her right arm to the armchair, and Greg put some rubber string then gave her a shot. Once he finished, he then turned his attention to Daniel and Alexa to explain.
"Forgive us for being rude. Now you know why I must come and check on her when she's away from me. She gets a migraine and if she doesn't receive a shot in time, she would pass out and might go to coma when her brain shut down." He speaks to them like he's talking about the weather.
"What's wrong with her?" Alexa's very curious as to what kind of sickness Ms. Garcia have to sweat like she's right in front of a fire and being roasted.
"Oh, it's nothing! It's an old sickness that she has, and that's one of the reasons I'm worried when she's away, she always forgets to take her shots and see what happened." He replied calmly with a blank looking face.
Alexa was about to ask more question, but Daniel was quick and done the same thing once again. He squeezed Alexa's hand to warn her not to ask too much question. Alexa took the hint and clamped up her mouth and just sat there watching Ms. Garcia comes back to her usual self.
"Whoa! What happened? I'm so... sorry! I didn't want you to witness that, but I made a mistake and forgot to take my shots today. It's a good thing that Greg is here or else; I don't know what would have happened." She told Daniel and Alexa apologetically. Sadness and embarrassment showing on her beautiful face.
Daniel couldn't hold it anymore and had to ask. "Does this happens often? How could we trust Alexa with you if you are not healthy? What assurance do we have that is not going to affect Alexa's training with your sickness. We need to rethink this arrangement, and I'm going to need to speak to my Father first before I could release Alexa to your care."
Greg was the one who answered Daniel's concern. "Mr. Grant, let me assure you that Miss Grant would be in good hand. Her sickness would never be an issue while my wife is training Miss Grant. You have my guarantee on that! Beside me as her husband, I'm also her Doctor." He spoke sternly and firmly to ensure that Daniel understood his meaning while looking straight at him.
After hearing what Greg had said, Daniel calmed down and agreed to continue with the original plan. "Alright, in an hour we would be leaving, we are only waiting for two more people, and once they arrive, we will head out." Daniel firmly told everyone before making himself comfortable while they wait.

Meanwhile, at Memorial Hospital VIP room reserved only for the First Family, Grandmother Santos and Andrea were seating waiting patiently for someone. Once the Doctor approved Grandmother Santos release, the President Aid informed them to prepare to return to the Philippines.
He continued informing them that someone would be coming by to pick them up and escort them to the airport where they would board the plane heading back to the Philippines without ever seeing Alexa ever again. Once the President Aid finished his speech, he handed Grandmother Santos an envelope, then a folder with some sheets of paper inside.
"Read it please, make sure you understand what's being said and once you're done, sign it if you agree." The President aid said nonchalantly.
Andrea took the folder and about to read the document when Grandmother Santos snatched it from her hand and scolded her. "What do you think you're doing? Was he speaking with you or me? Get me a pen, and you don't need to read it. I need to sign it, and we could be on our way."
Grandmother Santos doesn't care what's indicated and written on the sheet of paper; all she cares was the envelope she now has on her hand. She couldn't wait to see how much money was given to her to stay away from Alexa.
Grandmother Santos was in deep thought as she signed the document. 'I might be old, but I'm not senile yet, I knew that they would pay me off to shut my mouth.'
Grandmother Santos knows that since they did not persecute her, it means they want her to shut her mouth, which she plans on doing with lots of money...
Andrea was speechless and shocked by her Grandmother's attitude, and she couldn't believe her eye that her grandma snatched the folder then scolded her, 'for what? Because she wanted to know what was written on that sheet of paper? ' She thought to herself as she stood there and watched her beloved Grandmother sign her life away in exchange for an envelope full of cash...
