Chapter 43
FAITH
We're leaving together in a hurry, I forgot to warn Leila and tell her that it was worthwhile to continue the seduction operation, for the moment everyone has hot ideas, I'm so anxious right now I I hope that nothing serious has happened to him, when I turn to Chris, his face is tense, I caress his arm to make him relax but he is not walking, when we arrive in the building he is the first to get out of the car, when Ulrich parked the car, I followed him, he took the steps of the stairs 4 by 4 suddenly he arrived before us, when we arrived he was already in the room, Cheska was lying on the ground and around there was furniture overturning and things all over the floor which indicates that there was a fight here, Chris walks towards her and takes her lice
Chris: I smell her lice, I think she just passed out
Me in Chelsea: my darling, would you mind showing me where your medicine box is?
She answers me yes with her head, and I follow her, she takes me to the bathroom and shows me the wardrobe, I take alcohol and cotton and I go back to the living room, I get on my knees next to her, I soak the cotton in alcohol and I place it under her nose at short intervals of time, after a few attempts without reaction she ends up waking up
Cheska trying to get up: aieee "holding her head"
Chris: lie down the ambulance is on the way, you may have hurt yourself, don't move
Chelsea will run and throw herself into her mother's arms while crying
Cheska: is he gone or what the hell?
Nobody answers, the ambulance arrives and comes to transport her, we follow her in the car with Chelsea, when we arrive she is admitted to the emergency room, stays a while before the doctor comes to see us,
Doctor: Good evening, are you Mrs. Cheska's family?
Christopher: Good evening, yes it's us, how is she?
Doctor: she is fine, there was more fear than harm, the X-rays showed nothing serious, we will keep her under observation this evening and she will be able to return tomorrow
Christopher: Alright, can we see it?
Doctor: of course, we have already installed it in a room
Christopher shaking hands with the doctor: thank you doctor
CHRISTOPHER
I just talked to the doctor, he told me that she is fine, I think we will have to have a conversation, she and I will go see her, I refuse that Chelsea be once again witnessing this kind of thing, it's not a holy environment for her
For now I'm going to take the little one to see her mother, I approach them, I tell them what the doctor told me and I take Chelsea with me so that she can go see her mother, we were about to to leave when Ulrich calls me
Ulrich: Christopher
Me getting closer to him: I have to take the little one to see her mother, do you want to go home?
Ulrich showing me an envelope: no that's not it, I have the test results
Me looking at the envelope: is that it?
Ulrich handing me the envelope: yes
I take the envelope from her hands with great apprehension, I bring Chelsea back to Faith, it would be better if she weren't there when the envelope was opened, when I arrived at the doorstep I knock on the door she ask me to enter
Me: Are you better?
Cheska: apart from a head word it's fine
Me: I have the results of the DNA test
Cheska: Are you coming to apologize for not believing me?
Me: no, no I haven't opened it yet, I want to do it in your presence
Cheska: ok go ahead...
I open the envelope and I take out the result, I admit that I am really stressed at this precise moment, I unfold the result and I read the results
Cheska: are you going to tell me what the test says or not?
Me bringing my attention back to her: it's positive
I was really relieved to hear that the result was 99. 9 percent positive, there is no longer any doubt that Chelsea is mine
Cheska: if you had believed me well it would have saved us from going through all this
Me: it's already done and it was the best decision given the circumstances, now you're going to say what happened between you and your man?
Cheska: not everything about my life is about you
Me calmly: it concerns me as long as my daughter is witness to this kind of behavior
Cheska: you're funny you know? A girl you needed a DNA test to recognize?
Me: Cheska, we have to talk seriously, I know that you love your daughter and you know very well that the environment in which you raise her is not at all holy for her, you have a child now and you should stop this kind of behavior, but you smoke, drink in front of this little girl who doesn't know anything about life yet, she is a spectator of all this violence between your man and you if I can call him a man, you are waiting for you what kind of life does she have when she grows up?
Cheska: …
Me: well, I'll tell you, she's used to seeing her mother being beaten, when she grows up, she'll find it normal to follow guys like the one you're with at the moment, she won't have a very high self-esteem and she'll think it's normal, is this the kind of life you want your daughter to have?
Cheska:….
Me: but answer me, is this the life you want her to have?
Cheska: No!!!
Me: Me, all I'm asking you is to clean up your life and go to a rehab center, you have to take your life back in hand for your own good and that of your daughter, because I don't I have no intention of seeing my daughter grow up in this kind of environment…
She'll come see you and come home with me then we'll pick you up tomorrow
I leave the bedroom and I leave her there, she must reflect and make a good decision for her life so that our daughter can grow up in an environment conducive to her development, I bring Chelsea to see her mother and we then go back, then at home
Me: you're tired aren't you?
Faith with a slightly shy smile: no, don't worry, it's fine
Me getting closer to her to kiss her tenderly: I promise you that soon we will be able to live this calm life that we both want
Faith sighing: I hope so with all my heart
Me insisting on sitting on my thighs: what if we had a romantic evening?
Faith smiling: for the moment a good massage would do me the greatest good
Me: at your command boss
She lies down on the bed and I begin by gently massaging her feet at some point I no longer feel her, her breathing becomes regular, she has dozed off, I give her a kiss before going downstairs to join the others in the living room, I notice Leila and Ulrich who got into a great lively conversation
Me: hi!
Leila: Hi! Faith doesn't come down?
Me: no she fell asleep
Leila with a smile full of implication: it was really fast
Me trying to change the subject: Where's Chelsea?
Leila: she joined Elisabeth in the kitchen
She gets up and joins them in the kitchen, I take her place next to Ulrich
Me: what are you playing?
Ulrich: I'm playing for nothing, I told you that I really like it and I'm ready to do anything to have it for myself
Me: I would have warned you, if you made him cry one day wait for me to fall on you
Ulrich: I take that for your blessing, right?
Me: In any case, I would have warned you….
