Scratches of Wound in Fiona's Heart
Fainted Again

Mama Fiona laughed mockingly, "So, you're a friend of this unlucky child carrier?" point it at Fiona with a scornful face.

"No, I'm her boyfriend. I am not a patient person. So, it's better to stop your rude actions before you regret having dealt with me."  

"Who are you? Why should I be afraid of you? Even you were a child yesterday afternoon," Fiona's mother said in a dismissive tone. 

"I don't need to reveal my identity. Fear if you know, don't talk to me, just look at me you won't dare" Steven replied in an arrogant tone. Only time has anyone dared to demean him.

Seeing someone defend Fiona makes Fiona's mother feel upset. "You really fit him. You two are both braggars and shameless. I'm asking you to leave now or I'm asking the officer to drag you out!" threaten Fiona's mother.

"Maaa, please don't be like this Ma. I'm Mama's son too. Why is my mom always acting like this to me? What's my fault Ma?" ask Fiona while crying.

Fiona's mother stared angrily at Fiona. "Your fault is that you were born into this world."

"What does Mama mean? You gave birth to me, why do you blame me Ma?" Fiona looked sadly at her mother.

Fiona's mother looks impatient. "Don't say much. You better go. I don't want to hear your bullshit anymore. Now leave this place!"

Fiona's mother forcefully pulls Fiona and pushes her hard, causing Fiona to fall to the floor. Mama Fiona instantly turned her body after pushing Fiona without turning her head in the slightest.

Steven immediately ran towards Fiona when he saw her unconscious. "Fiona..Wake up Fio." Steven patted Fiona's face trying to resuscitate the girl. "Flame... I said Wake up."

Seeing no reaction from Fiona, Erick then said, "Master, we better take Miss Fiona to the treatment room. I'll take Miss Fiona to her room."

"no need. Let me, ", Steven said. 

"But Sir...." Erick's words were cut off when he saw his boss had raised Fiona's body and carried her away from it.

Erick then caught up with his boss who had already walked away from him. After reaching Fiona's room, Steven placed it carefully on the patient's bed. Steven then walked to the sofa, after tidying up the blankets to cover Fiona's body.

"Better Mr. lunch first." Erick drew closer to Steven when he saw his boss leaning back while closing his eyes.

Steven kneeled his temple with a tired face. "Find out about Fiona, including how her family treated her all along," Steven orders without turning to Erick.

Erick looked surprised, he was silent for a moment, his forehead shrinking for a moment. "Do you feel sorry for him?" asked Erick timidly.

"I just want to know. I have a strange feeling about the relationship between mother and child."

"Good sir." Erick nodded in understanding.

"You go back to the office. You handle the office work for today" Steven ordered.

He then changed his sitting position to upright while holding his nape. "And remember! Don't tell my mom I'm here. Just tell him I'm on business out of town and can't see him tonight." Erick nodded, then passed away leaving Steven alone. 

Time has shown at 4pm. Fiona hasn't opened her eyes yet. Steven was getting a call in the corner of the room looking out the window. 

Slowly Fiona opened her eyes, dimly she heard the voice of someone talking. He saw Steven standing behind him

"Sir." Fiona wakes up from her sleep and sits down. Steven who heard Fiona's voice immediately turned a little back on his body then turned to Fiona. Steven immediately ended his conversation on the phone when he saw Fiona sitting on the patient bed and looking at him.

"Are you okay?" Steven stuck his phone in his pants pocket and walked over to Fiona.

"Yes, sir, I feel better. Thank you for helping me out." 

Steven observed Fiona's white face, pale lips, puffy eyes and glum. "Stop thanking me. You're doing enough of what I say." 

Fiona frowned. "I mean Sir?" 

"Eat. You haven't filled your stomach at all. How can you face your mother if you just don't have the energy" Steven said with a flat face.

Steven he cares what Fiona says. "Sir, where are you taking me? Please put me down. I can walk on my own," said Fiona when Steven had carried Fiona ala bridal style. Fiona unconsciously held her hand to Steven's neck for fear of falling.

"Eat, if you don't, I'll feed you." Steven lowered Fiona's body on the long sofa carefully.

Fiona lowered her face. He hid the red hue of his face to avoid being seen by Steven. He felt embarrassed because he was carried by Steven earlier. "I'll eat myself, sir" said Fiona softly. He then took the food that was already available in front of him. 

"Are you always stubborn like this?" Steven sat down beside Fiona and glanced at Fiona at a glance. 

"This is what I am, sir." Fiona was seen chewing her food slowly. 

"Steven, that's my name. You can call me Steve. I don't like to hear you call me Mr." Steven stared lazily at Fiona.

"We don't know each other, nor do we get close. It would be impolite to call you by name" Fiona said softly.

Steven drew his face closer to Fiona then looked into her eyes. "I don't like to be disputed! If you still call me by the word master, I'll kiss you right away" Steven threatened with a serious face.

Fiona's face flushed. He turned his face to the side in embarrassment. He looks wrongly stared at by Steven from close range. "Okay sir, uh I mean Steve," said Fiona nervously. 

Steven then moved his face away. "Eat. You have to finish your food. I'll be out for a minute. Don't go anywhere before I get back." He stood up and left the room. Fiona looked at Steven's back which looked like it had moved away.

*****

Time has shown at 5pm. Steven walked into the room Fiona occupied. Seen from ignorance, Fiona was sitting dreamy on the bed.

"Why are you daydreaming?" Steven approached Fiona who was seen sitting quietly with a blank look. 

Fiona turned her eyes to Steven. "I'm just thinking about my dad" Fiona said. 

"Your father's body was brought home by your mother, not long after you passed out earlier." 

Fiona was shocked. Her tears flowed back on her pale cheeks. "I have to go home. I want to see my father." Fiona got off the bed and walked towards the door.

Fiona's steps came to a halt as her hand was blocked by Steven. "Your father was buried this afternoon. You can't see her anymore."

Fiona immediately sat down limp on the floor. Her tears kept flowing down her cheeks. He no longer made any crying sounds. Fiona just looked straight ahead with a blank look. 

Steven just stood by letting Fiona cry without doing anything. Moments later Steven walked out while sticking his phone to his ear and talking to someone. 

Long Fiona was silent, she finally stood up and walked out of the treatment room. Steven drew Fiona's hand as he saw the girl walking without direction. His view looks empty. "Where are you going?" Steven grabs Fiona's wrist to stop her steps.

Fiona didn't comment on Steven's question. He tried to take his hand off Steven. "Please let go of my hand, sir." 

"I won't let you go until you tell me where you're going." Steven stared intently at Fiona who kept trying to let go of her hand. 

Fiona started sobbing. "I want to see my father's grave. Please let me go, sir," Fiona pleaded.

"How did you get there. You don't even know where your father's grave is." Steven didn't let Fiona go.

"I'll ask my mom or with Cindy's sister."

Steven sneered. "Do you think they'll tell you? Don't you realize that your mother hates you."
