Chapter 4 In the Private Wing
last update2022-07-20 19:33:10

Reginaldo woke up in Lagoon City's famous General Hospital. After his car flipped over, he blacked out and couldn't remember anything else.

Now, when he opens his eyes, he finds himself wearing his blue hospital gown and quite comfortable in a hospital bed.

Very comfortable is the right word. Reginaldo wasn't on one of those hard gurneys or with those uncomfortable pillows. The blankets were warm and the room he was in was squeaky clean and smelled pleasantly of disinfectant.

It was then that the penny dropped.

Reginaldo was in the private wing!

But how did this happen? Did Mr. and Mrs. Ferreira feel sorry for their son-in-law and decided to give him the best treatment? Didn't they want journalists to discover their son-in-law among the poor patients?

Reginaldo didn't know. He just smiled and closed his eyes, wanting to rest as much as possible.

A few hours later, Reginaldo reopened his eyes when he heard footsteps. He thought a good-looking female nurse was coming to bring lunch.

However, it was such Reggie's surprise when he realized that, instead of a blonde, busty nurse, the visitor was a gray-haired gentleman in a black suit and tie!

The gentleman smiled when he saw Reginaldo awake, "Master, you're awake. You're safe and sound, finally!"

"What are you doing here, Anestor?" Reginaldo questions sharply.

"Master, please don't get carried away."

There was a multi-parameter monitor plugged into Reginaldo registering an increase in heart rate.

Reginaldo gets even more irritated, "What do you mean, not getting excited? I already got what's happening, how I ended up here."

"The news got around that you had an accident and of course, my boss ordered us to save your life," Anestor responds by sitting in the visitors' seat.

"I thought my in-laws took pity on me," Reginaldo grumbles, pouting.

Anestor chuckles, "Master always has ideas..."

"Watch how you talk to me, man!"

If Laura or Eduardo looked at Reginaldo now, they would go into shock. Who is this haughty Reginaldo who gives orders to employees and secretaries?

Anestor composes himself, "Master, your father believes that it's past time for you to stop playing at being independent and take on the mission you have."

"I'm not kidding. I came to Lagoon City, the Brazilian Los Angeles, to live like a normal person." Reginaldo counters.

Anestor wiggles, "Yes, and we are aware of how wonderful your life has been. Tell me, master, what is it like to be married to a woman without loving her and without having her respect?"

Reginaldo's heartbeat grows more out of control as he widens his eyes and gasps like a bull preparing for the blow, "Are you spying on me?"

At other times, Anestor would have been careful with the tone of his voice, but now he is speaking on equal terms with Reginaldo precisely to draw control and command power from within him.

The master Reginaldo Fabray that Anestor always knew would never accept being a son-in-law despised by his in-laws and would never have a mediocre life, financially supported by his wife who openly betrays him!

As such, Anestor replies, "Not exactly. My lord ordered them to look for you a year ago. Later, I was informed of what they discovered."

Reginaldo starts to get embarrassed, "I can say that they didn't have much to report to my father. I'm fine, my life is satisfactory. I'm married to the heiress of the Ferreira Hotel and I live in a big house with a nice swimming pool."

"Do you LIVE or CLEAN the mansion? How many domestic servants does this house have?" Anestor smiles sarcastically.

"We don't need servants," Reginaldo responds against his will.

"So the house isn't very big, it's not the size of a mansion, and it's your wife who does the housework."

Reginaldo heaves a sigh, "OK! Since you know, why deny it? I'm the one who does the cleaning. I didn't even come back to make Laura breakfast."

Anestor bursts out laughing. At other times he would be fired, but now... he's enjoying it!

He brought Denise from Europe to make Laura jealous, to convince her to return to him. When Laura and I got divorced, they arranged for Denise to seduce Jacob so he and Laura wouldn't be together. So, Laura started dating Eduardo again. But he continued to be the crazy stoner he always was. Laura ended her relationship with Eduardo again.

    Days passed. Fabray House became a lonely corner, just for Reginaldo and Faron.With ‘Miss Correia’ no longer around, Reginaldo exempted Faron from the obligation to wear a suit. As a result, Reginaldo was already used to going downstairs in sweatpants and finding the butler wearing just boxers in the kitchen, preparing breakfast.“Good morning, Boss Reginaldo.” Faron greets him with a respectful smile, “How have you been feeling?”“Can you believe I still wake up reaching for the now empty side of the bed?” Reginaldo sits down, telling this as if it were a joke, “Or else, I wake up at dawn and jump on her side to bang her, but I only fall into the void.”“Yeah, I understand you. Try sleeping in the middle of the bed.” Faron advises him.“Maybe that’s better, or else go hunting for the next candidate.” Reginaldo sighs.Faron puts the breakfast options on the table while Reginaldo takes his cell phone out of his pocket to see what's new.The news written by João Paulo Queiroz Rocha sur

Taddeo is visibly furious. If he doesn't explain soon, his father will have another stroke, probably fatal this time.“OK, Dad,” George braces himself, “First, I want to reveal that during the months I was away from Reggie, I worked in the real estate agency of Henry, the hateful cousin.”“GEORGE!” Marianne exclaims outraged.“I know, it was a stupid move on my part. I looked like a tantrum child. I wanted Reggie to know what he lost by letting me leave Gomes Estates. But he never found out, and I

What happened, did you and Reginaldo fight again?”George takes a deep breath, “Josh, Reggie’s hateful cousin has been defeated. The Mares Agency will likely be passed on to our boss, along with the team of real estate agents. However, when he and I were fighting, I was foolish enough to team up with Henry Fabray, working at his agency.”Joshua gapes, horrified.“Did you work for the enemy these months? And you still had the gall to come back to us without saying anything?”“I knew you would react in disgust.” George justifies himself.“And that’s why you thought it was better to hide this from us?
