Chapter 126 He was my number three

Rachel's POV

Joyce blinked before giving me a small smile. " Something tells me that you don't know what I think you know".

My brows furrowed in confusion.

" What do you think I know?" I asked leaning closer to her.

" Before I answer that, who did you think visited you?" She asked instead with a look of curiosity.

I brought my hand to my hair, scratching it a little before shrugging. " You might not know them". I said and she immediately scoffed.

"Yup, we are not talking about the same people". She announced snapping her hands.

My confusion deepened. " What do you mean? Fine, you said three, right? A beautiful lady with black long hair, another lady older looking but with also black hair tied to a tight bun on the top of her head, and a..." I paused thinking of how to describe David.

He was handsome, right?

" A handsome young man with a stern face, but smooth facial features. Those three, are they the one?"

It felt weird describing David as handsome after I had met men like Ethan and Mark, but just giving him the benefit of the doubt.

I was so sure the second lady wasn't Martha because of how Joyce's face contorted in confusion when I mentioned an older-looking lady, so who was the lady one?

" Am I correct?" I asked after a while since Joyce wasn't giving me any answers.

She shook her head as if snapping out of a daze. "I was just fixing the description of the people in my head with the ones you mentioned and well, you got the first one. Her name is Marina, right?"

A smile appeared on my face, and I nodded.

Despite what I said to her she was still worried about me.

It brought a certain kind of joy to me knowing that she wasn't truly helping Ethan do whatever he was doing.

" What about the second one? " I asked hesitatingly.

Joyce scoffed before wagging a finger in front of me and shaking her head. " Wrong. Unless you can describe the good-looking guy who follows Marina about as an older lady."

I gasped as one person came to mind.

"His name is Mark; you know him, don't you? "

Mark?

What was he doing here?

Did he only come here to escort Marina?

But there was something I've learned this past few months, where there was Mark, there was always Ethan. But Joyce only said three people.

My heart began sinking as another probably entered my head. I gulped before breathing out slowly.

" Who... Who is the third one? "

Something inside me whispered that I was going to hate the answer, but I was too damn curious to care.

" I would have said you got it, but you did not describe him very well. He is not stern looking, infact he looks very cute, only when he's being serious that the gaze of his blue eyes become chilly and scary..."

My heart completely sank.

Blue eyes?

There was only one person I knew whose blue eyes were both beautiful, and could be scary at the same time.

" Ethan "

"Ethan"

We said at the same time.

" He wasn't who you were expecting huh? " Joyce asked and I shook my head sadly.

Why was I feeling so disappointed?

Did I really want David to come see me that bad? Or was just annoyed that Ethan did?

I just nodded my head leaning back to my pillow while staring at the ceiling.

It didn't take long before we heard a knock on the door and a young nurse came inside.

" Sorry for the interruption, but there are two men outside and one of them said they are here to see Ms Rachel ". The lady politely said.

The hospital was three stories high, not even average of the hospital people of high standards go to but for the past few days, I had felt like it was no different from the hospital I was used to.

I had thought the food was going to be terrible, but instead I was served daily amazing food from Jens, and my old rusty looking room had been changed to a bigger one with a huge bed and a small fridge by the side.

But all in all, in the past few days I have been here not only have I not seen a cop, or handcuffs, I aslo haven't seen another doctor apart from Joyce.

Sometimes I even thought I was in a private house, since I never got out I still really didn't know.

" ... Rachel!"

I snapped my head towards Joyce who had a look of worry etched on her face.

" Are you alright? I have been calling you for almost two minutes now".

I shook my head, getting back my senses. I ajd spaced out again. " What is it?" I asked before noticing the nurse who was standing by the door again.

" The nurse said you have a visitor, do you want to let them in?" She asked and I glaced at the nurse before looking back at Joyce, a thought dancing in my eyes.

"Is it Ethan?"

"No it's not, Ethan wouldn't send a nurse. " Joyce said giving me a look.

I nodded at the nurse who bowed and left to call the visitors in.

" Do you think it's the police?" I asked again.

Since it was not Ethan, and the nurse said men... Could it be those police men who came to look for me at Marina's house?

Just the thought of it frightened the hell out of me.

Though the bruises and the scars were starting to fade away, what that police woman did to me remained fresh in my memory.

She wanted to kill me in the most brutal way possible, I could see it in her eyes.

I was not ready to go back to that prison again, not now, if possible not ever.

She would be waiting for me to come back so she would finish what she started and there was no way I'm giving her that wish.

"Relax Rachel. I doubt it's the police, but even if it is, I doubt they can take you away from here, at least not until you've fully recovered." Joyce assured me with a smile which I returned.

The door opened again and two men walked in.

My mouth widened to from a huge smile when I saw who came to visit.

"David". I called out with a huge smile.

He was here, though he looked nothing like I had imagine.

I had thought that he would look disheveled, hair scattered around and his clothes unkempt, maybe a little worse than Ethan had looked when I went into coma after getting shot, but I was honestly mistaking.

David looked as hot as always, his hair neatly packed to the side and hands in his pockets.

This was not what I was expecting, but I was glad he was here.

"Hello Rachel". He said curtly before acknowledging Joyce's presence in the room.

I saw his eyes roam around her body before he looked back up at her face again.

Joyce shook her head, and muttered something which I was not able to hear.

"Joyce, this was my number three." I said gesturing to David. She looked at him with a blink before returning her gaze to me.

"Really? You picked this over Ethan?" Her tone was mocking and I instantly looked up at David whose face turned ugly.

"Hey," I cautioned tapping her hand a bit to stop her from saying anything else.

David coughed, clearing his throat before looking at Joyce. "Well, Ms Joyce would you mind excusing us for a minute?"

"Yes, I would mind."
