Chapter 137 Home sweet home
Rachel's POV
After the extremely awkward moment with Lenora, Joyce announced that I could be discharged today.
I found the sudden information surprising and that was when she explained that the only reason I was still on the hospital as from two days ago was only because I would be immediately taken back to the station if I was discharged, so she just choose not to discharge me.
Ain't that nice?
I was all set to go back to Marina's house, when Ethan just grabbed my things and said:
"You're coming with me."
Judging from the look on both Joyce and Marina's faces, they had thought I was going to argue, and that would probably been the right thing to do.
My brain was screaming red alerts.
What if he was taking me back with him to avenge Lana's death? She was after all the woman he was in love with, but my heart and body refused listening to my head.
I just followed him out like an obedient puppy, and we were now on the way to his car.
" Hey, Rachel!" I heard someone yell my name, and I turned around to see Kyle running towards me.
"Kyle"
"Rachel "
Before I knew what was happening, he pulled me into a tight hug. " I only found out about what happened to you yesterday, I am so sorry ".
Why was he apologizing?
I smiled wiggling my way out of the hug. " Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault ". I said with a small laugh.
Kyle stared seriously at me. " Yes, but I should have come earlier ".
" But you just said it yourself, you didn't know ".
" But... "
Before Kyle could say anything else, I felt a hand pry off Kyle's hands from me and then it came to rest on my waist. " What's going on here? " Ethan's deep voice sounded in my ears.
Kyle looked embarrassed as he looked in between the both of us. " I didn't know you have moved on from the last guy already ". He said in a small dejected voice.
Move on?
He was the same person!
I wanted to say but kept my remark to myself.
"Good day Mr Wright." He greeted Ethan who have him a stiff nod.
The atmosphere around us became tensed up and the silence was frustrating.
"What are you doing here? I thought you traveled out of the country? " I asked starting a conversation with Kyle.
That night he told me that he was to travel out in a few days so he ought to have been gone before all this shit happen.
Kyle smile sadly, nodding his head " I did travel, but came back immediately after I heard the news".
I muttered an 'oh' before pursing my lips. " I didn't kill Lana". Kyle chuckled, " I know, and I believe you ".
I could tell that he wanted to say something to me , but was hesitant because of Ethan's presence so I looked towards him.
"Can you give us a minute?" I asked Ethan who immediately shook his head.
My gaze on his turned to a glare.
If he wanted me to still follow him to his house, he has better do as I say. After a few seconds of glaring at him, he grunted before muttering.
" I'll wait for you in the car " .
Just when I thought he had left, he came back and dropped a light peck on my cheeks before really leaving for his car.
My cheeks instantly changed red.
What the hell?
What did he do that for? And that too in front of Kyle. I looked away in embarrassment.
Why was Ethan doing this?
This confusion was killing me.
Kyle cleared his throat and I looked back at him. " I only found out yesterday that Lana was dead and you jail for it so I came down here to check how you're doing, but then I also found out that you were in a hospital".
"Yeah, that part is not my fault. With or without my mouth, that bitch would've still hurt me "
" What bitch? The female officer or Lana? " He asked arching a brow jokingly and I chuckled. " Probably the both "
" So you're dating Ethan Wright now?" He asked after a while and I opened my mouth in shock at what he said.
Me? And Ethan? Dating?
I can't even imagine that kind of thing anymore not to talk about lie about it, but this was Kyle. A man who was in love with me and didn't even bother to hide it.
If he found out that I was single, he might think he had chance, and breaking his heart was something my cold hearted one couldn't do.
"It's complicated."
It was actually complicated, because up to a week to two weeks ago, he was dating the dead actress.
"Complicated?" Kyle asked in an unbelieving tone and I nodded.
I didn't have to explain myself to him.
"Are you happy?" He asked again after a few seconds.
Was I happy? Happy about what?
If it was about the fact that I was out of the hospital and out of prison, for a while at least, then yes.
But if it was about going with Ethan to his house or even ' dating ' him, I didn't know what I felt.
"Are you happy?" He repeated the question. "If you're not, I can you help you."
I nodded softly, releasing a small breath. "Yes, I am."
Since he didn't ask me what exactly I should be happy about, I picked the getting out of the hospital and prison. Even if I wasn't really happy, I doubted Kyle could do anything to help.
Though according to Ethan and Lenora I was still under house arrest, but at least this time I was treated as the suspect that I was and not the murderer.
" That's all I want to hear, I wish you would always be happy". Kyle said in a small voice pressing his lips together.
' And I wish you would finally find a girl who would love you just as much as you do me' I said inwardly, while giving Kyle a small smile.
The sound of a car driving up to me made me turn around to see Ethan's car now beside me.
" Rachel, we got to start going now ". Ethan said from the backseat.
For the first time in what felt like a long time, I felt Ethan was the life saver I had presumed him to be from the start.
The conversation with Kyle was starting to get awkward and I needed an escape.
"Thank you for flying all the wys back here to check up on me, but a simple call would have suffice you know"
"I don't have your number."
Alright... " That can be easily fixed, give me your phone. "I said gesturing for him to hand over his phone which I did.
I punched my number on it and even dialed it to make sure it was correct.
He came all the way back to see me, this was literally the least I could do for him.
"I'll just get going now." I said to him and he nodded while I walked around to get into the other side of the car.
"Bye Mr Wright, Rachel."
I waved at Kyle until the he was no longer in sight, that was when I finally say down straight.
"Who is that guy?" Ethan asked after a while, and I didn't even bother to answer.
It was not his business, I didn't ask why he and Lana played me, so he should mind his business too.
I looked towards the mirror to see the driver, which so happens to be John.
"Hi, John." I greeted him with a smile which he returned.
"Nice to see you again ma'am, I hope your better now."
"Yes very, and please, call me Rachel"
