Davina’s POV:-
“Olivia!” he whispered in surprise and disbelief, his eyes were wide open and the look of disbelief was evident.
“What-How!” he stuttered, not knowing what to ask while glancing at me.
“I tell you everything later, we need to save her,” I said while looking at him and struggling to hold her, he quickly nodded his head and moved aside, allowing me to come inside. He helped me place her on the bed and quickly called the doctor over to his room.
I sat beside Olivia and watched Arthur pacing back and forth with anxiety evident on his face, I have never seen him like this. He kept looking at Olivia while pacing back and forth, I could see it on his face that he had a lot of questions running inside but he was holding back.
“Mr. Spencer,” Came a female voice, I looked back and saw a woman dressed in a floral dress which reached her knees, she was holding a bag and looked like she was in her mid-thirties.
“Miss. Kavana, please come in,” he acknowledged,
She smiled at him and walked inside towards us, “Please leave me alone with the patient, I need to check her,” She said while putting her bag on the nightstand.
“Okay,” Arthur replied and took my hand in his, before I could say any word he pulled me up and dragged me out of the room.
He closed the door as we stepped out, “Now, tell me!” he whispered harshly while pushing me to the wall and caging me with his hands on either side of me.
“Where did you find her? And What the hell has happened to her?” he asked while gritting his teeth in pure anger.
“I… I-I saw her running away from something in the woods from my bedroom window, I walked out of my room, to the woods and found her lying on the ground unconscious,” I swallowed hard as it flashed in front of my eyes, “… I-I carried her to your room,” I said while staring at his face.
He kept quiet while staring at me with an extremely serious expression on his face, I was breathing hard while the anxiety inside me began to increase by passing seconds. Why is he not saying anything? I thought while staring at him.
Did he not believe me? Is he thinking that I’m lying and faking everything? Jesus, what if he thinks that I did something to her? What will I do then?
I kept staring at him while swallowing hard, “Did you see anyone around her? When she’s unconscious,” he asked snapping me out of the trance,
“No… it was completely dark… I didn’t see anyone,” I replied while shaking my head,
“What is she doing here?” he whispered while staring at the ground, I stared at him as he was lost in deep thought.
Does he still love her? A thought rushed to my mind. Looking at the worry he had in his eyes as he stared at her inside made me wonder what happens when she wakes up. I don’t know what he will do when she tells him who did this to her and why? Will he cancel the contract and let me go? What will I do?
No, No, No, no… stop thinking all this Davina, she has to be saved first…
“I never saw someone so thin… it’s unhealthy,” I said while staring at his face, he looked at me and the worry in his eyes made me shut my mouth and regret what I said. There were worry and pain in his eyes and it somehow made me feel stupid for saying it, I don’t know what to do or say to him.
“She’ll be fine, don’t worry,” I said while placing my palm over his chest, he glanced down at me,
“We will find whoever it is… behind this!” I said while giving a small smile, he nodded his head while placing his palm over mine and squeezing it.
As we heard the sound of the door opening, Arthur stepped back and turned towards Miss. Kavana, who walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.
“Doctor?” Arthur called with a hint of impatience in his tone,
“Mr. Spencer, can we sit somewhere and talk?” She said while with a serious face, Arthur nodded his head, “Follow me,” he said and led us to his study room.
***
I closed the door behind me before walking towards them and sat down beside Arthur, Miss. Kavana was sitting opposite to us. The way she was staring at the ground with a sad expression on her face made me feel anxious to know Olivia’s condition.
“Mr. Spencer, Before I began I needed this matter to be between us and make sure no one other than us three got to know this…” she said, we both glanced at each other before nodding our heads at her.
“Okay… she’s been abused and beaten brutally,” She said slowly, letting every word left from her lips be heard clearly. I glanced at Arthur and saw him clenching his jaw in anger. I placed my hand over his hands which he was fisting in anger, he glanced at me as I did it.
“Her wrists are worse, the bruises on her both wrists made it clear that she was held captive for years… the worst part is… she has fractures in so many parts… and also broken ribs… her legs are extremely weak and I’m afraid she won’t be able to walk for few days… whoever did this to her has intended to kill her slowly and painfully…” she said,
By the time she ended, I was completely in shock. Who could do this? And Why? Why did they decide to torture a woman? Oh my god! Did they?
I glanced at Miss. Kavana, “Doctor? Is she…? Is she?” I hesitated but she got me, “No, No, she wasn’t sexually abused,” she said, relief washed over me when I heard that.
“But… I need to take a few tests to know more about her internal injuries… I will come tomorrow for that… I gave her medicines for now… she’s in the worse condition I have ever seen… we need to be very careful, she needs our help and complete attention,” she said,
I nodded my head at her, and she stood up, “I’ll take a leave now, Good night,” she said, I stood up and walked her out of the mansion. As I walked back to the study room I saw it empty, where did he go? I thought as I looked around.
I closed the door behind me and walked to his room, I pushed the door open slowly and saw him sitting on the edge of the bed and staring down at Olivia. Looking at him like that something in me twisted, I don’t know why I feel this way but I couldn’t see him like this.
I stepped inside but stopped, I think I’ll just let him be alone, I thought and stepped back and closed the door slowly. I walked back to my room with lots of thoughts running inside my head.
Does someone want to kill her? But Who? If she’s here then Where’s Allen? Is he in danger too? Is he kidnapped too? Or Did he leave her As he left me? But Olivia was pregnant with his child when he left me? Where is the child? Oh my god! Did something happen to the child as well?
Jesus, I have to find out what happened or else my mind would explode with these unanswered questions. I thought as I closed my bedroom behind me while walking inside my room and climbing onto the bed quietly.
I glanced down at April before slipping under the bed sheets, she was asleep and looked deep in slumber. I pushed those few strands of hair off her face and stared at her angelic face, Olivia’s condition had brought back memories of April’s past condition to me. It took days for me to help her recover from that, it took all my strength and dedication.
I placed a kiss on her forehead, “I will always protect you, Always,” I whispered while staring at her. Even though my past with Olivia is bad, I will try to help her. I have to find out who did this to her and also get her open up to me once she wakes up. I guess she’ll tell me what happened to her and her child and also who did this to her?
Wait, when I saw her in the woods, she was running away from someone. Does that mean the person who did this to her… is here? On this island? Oh, Jesus! What if he finds her here and tries to kill her?
