M.I N.E endless Love
Chapter 84: Broken Ribs

The doctors attended to Rodrigo and bound up his injuries. They had a minor surgery done on him to repair the broken ribs.

His head was bound with a gauze and his upper arm has a fractures. Bruises were all over his body and Joel stood by and watched him.

He was surprised when he discovered that Rodrigo wasn't in the company and was not at home tabt morning. He wondered where he could possibly have gone not to have allowed him do the driving. Non of the bodyguards were with him and he left just like that. When he received a call about an hour later, he could hear Rodrigo sighing in pain.

He had called him to come and take him to the hospital. That was when he drove there with a chauffeur and a bodyguard.

On reaching there, he discovered that he was bleeding seriously and wouldn't let any of Eduardo's men to help him. He sat in the car and and was only holding his sides.

The car was drenched with his blood. He wondered how he didn't pass out till he got there. Eduardo himself was there and was urging Rodrigo to allow him drive him to the hospital, but he refused.

The car was clean and intact but he saw that he had an accident. What could possibly be wrong with him? But at the time, he couldn't ask questions because Rodrigo was getting weak already.

It after they arrived in the hospital that they realized that he has a head injury, some broken rips, fracture of the upper arm and his finger.

For God's sake, what happened to him? Only for him to see the capture of it in the news that a beggar was crushed at the gate of the Anderson's cooperation.

The picture there was Rodrigo. He has that aura but he is not a beggar. v From the news, the young lady of Anderson's family was assaulted by the beggar and her chauffeur, in an attempt to save his boss, run his car over him. That was when Joel knew what really happened. But he knew that Rodrigo went to see her and not to assault her. The story was made up.

"How are you feeling now, President Campbell?" Joel asked and Rodrigo nodded. He hasn't said anything, he definitely looked very weak.

"Your sister called, she said she was trying to reach you after you said you would call her back but you weren't answering your phone.

She asked me if you are fine and I said yes. Would you like to talk to her now?" Joel asked again and Rodrigo shook his head.

He would talk to her when he gets really better. In the meantime, he felt weak in his body and in his mind, he couldn't believe this happened between Camilla and himself.

Joel said okay and shook his head. The same Camilla slapped him few days ago and that part of his face just got back to normal. Next something terrible like this happened.

He would advise him to stay away from Camilla. Maybe their lives together had ended. They both should go their separate ways henceforth.

Jared was yet to know what happened. He was with his mother and wondered why Camilla hadn't come around. He was supposed to return to the hotel because of his wife but Camilla didn't show up.

But the servants came over to bring lunch when he left, telling the servants to wait for his return or leave when the young lady their mistress comes around.

But when he got to the hotel, Mirabel's eyes had gone red. She had been sobbing. He squinted, what is wrong with her? Oh, he stayed longer than expected before returning to her, he guess.

"What happened my love?" Jared said sitting next to her and holding her in a warm embrace. She didn't reject him but let him hug her.

"I'm sorry, I was waiting for Camilla before I leave mum in the hospital, but I didn't see her. I'm sorry I left you here alone so long" Jared said but Mirabel cleaned her tears.

She shook her head to indicate that that was not the reason why she was sobbing. She was sobbing because of something else.

"Then talk to me, I'm here for listen" Jared coaxed her and Mirabel calmed herself except for occasionally sniffling.

"If someone offends you and you want to revenge, is killing the person the only alternative to pacify yourself?" Mirabel asked and Jared answered no.

To kill someone implies that the fellow will be jailed. Besides, why was she asking such a question.

"Fine, Why did Camilla your sister decided that death was her way of paying my brother back? Why did she want Rodrigo dead?" She asked and her tears started all over again. Jared was taken aback. What is she saying? Is Rodrigo in City B or did Camilla send assassin's after him?

The Camilla that he knows, that they grew up together, his own sister can never hurt Rodrigo.

"Where did you get that nonsense talk from? How can my sister try to hurt your brother? What is she going to get from it?" He asked, ready to defend his sister again.

He wants to settle everything disagreement between his family and Campbell's. If not for anything, but because Mirabel and himself had become married.

"You think I am talking nonsense right? My brother is battling with his life because your motherfucking sister ran her car over him to kill him.

She called my brother a beggar and a peasant who came to assault her. Can you imagine my brother in such kind of smirch?

She sullied his reputation and destroy everything my family laboured for all their lives. Oh because she's rich now, she can trampled upon my brother and wants him dead?" Mirabel queried. Jared was lost. He looked at her and then the television, before picking his phone to log into the internet and see for himself.

Is Rodrigo in City B?

Eduardo drove into the Anderson Mansion and walked straight to the stairs without as much as glancing at his parents.

"Eduardo" Susan called, walking after him. A while ago, Camilla came in and her dress seemed to have some blood stained. She ran into her room and shut the door.

Now, Eduardo arrived in fury as well and was going upstairs. Susan followed behind her son. But Steve Anderson remained seated, going through a magazine about nutrients for again men

"What happened, is anything the matter?" Susan asked and Eduardo said "just come along mum if you want to know a thing"

When he got Camilla's door, he pushed it hard but it was shut from within "you open this door now Camilla" Eduardo yelled at her and banged the door but still the door remained shut.

Steve Anderson looked up through his reading glasses and became concerned. Something isn't right here. He put down the magazine and went to Meet Eduardo still yelling at Camilla to open the door. Susan was worried already. What is wrong with Camilla? Had she hurt herself not to have opened the door for them?

"Eduardo" the thick manly voice of his father made Eduardo to pause. He sighed audibly and looked towards his father.

Someone come, pull down this door" The servants ran and inform the steward and in less than five minutes, they came over to chisel down the door.

Soon, it became a little lose and Eduardo kicked it open with his foot. Inside the room sat Camilla on the floor with tears soaked dress.

She had cried and her eyes had become red and puffy. She had refused to take the dress away from her body but clunged to it like it was some asset.

"Camilla what happened?" Susan came over and squat besides her. Her father was surprised as well but stood at the sidelines and watched, wondering what would have made sob so much and her dress having blood stain. "Don't ask her mum. So you camr back home to sob right? What th fuck did you do today Camilla?

You were hurt in the past and you now felt eliminating Rodrigo is the best right? Now you sir here sobbing like a nuisance.

I thought you were a woman of steel a while ago. Now you sit here shedding a crocodile tears.

Now listen carefully to me, if Rodrigo makes a case with you, I won't stand up for you. I am even ashamed to call you my sister after an attempt murder on the father of your kids.

For now, stay away from the company. I don't think I need you anymore. And if those kids grew a little older, ensure you tell them you almost sniffed life out of their father.

You say horrible words against the father of your kids and you expect that those kids will grow up being respected in the society? Are you even my sister?"Eduardo sneered at her and hissed before dashing out.

"What did you just say Eduardo? Steve Anderson asked, surprised. His daughter cannot be so inhuman to that extent of hurting a flea let alone a full grown man.

"Rodrigo was in the company few days ago, sorry I didn't tell you. He came replace and apologise to Camilla. But guess what dad, Camilla disrespected him.

She dragged him on the floor and slapped him hard that her father nger prints were mapped on his face. Isn't that enough to pay him back? But today, she told her chauffeur to run the car over him" "Did you really do that Camilla?" Susan's shaking voice came with a mixture of disappointment and pain.
