The Faceless Billionaire Celebrity Wife-Chapter 43: Incompetent Doctor.

After Shikera was done eating, Ethan informed Raine about her current condition and the woman came, bringing Esther along with her. Currently, they were sitting at the back of Ethan’s Villa,overlooking a tranquil lake. The water, a deep blue color, was reflecting the clear sky above. A flock of birds flew overhead, and the sound of their wings was like music to Shikera’s ears, showing her she hadn’t lost her hearing yet

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the trees, and the sun shone down on the villa’s terrace. In short, the atmosphere was perfect and it seemed like it reflected in Esther’s mood because she had been exceptionally nice to Shikera, since they arrived.

"How are you feeling?" The girl asked.

Shikera smiled at her before typing that she was okay. Right from the moment she knew Esther was not Ethan’s biological daughter and that her mother was probably dead, she had felt some kind of pity for the child.

"Good that you’re feeling okay now, Shikera. I was scared the worst would happen," Raine whispered, glancing sideways at her sons who seemed like they were in a very serious discussion. Especially Enoch, she had never seen him this serious. She averted her gaze when she noticed them walking towards her.

"Mum," Ethan called when they got to her. He spared a glance at Shikera before saying, "Enoch wants to work at DL starting tomorrow so inform your husband."

Raine’s eyes widened in shock. Enoch? Of all people, Enoch wanted to work in DL Corporation?

Enoch could read the question in his mother’s eyes so before she could embarrass him in front of his sister-in-law, he hurriedly spoke up.

"Of course, I will be starting as Ethan’s assistant first and then, after some time I’ll move on to other positions..."

"It’s alright, Enoch! I will make sure to give you all the support you need. What time do you want to wake up? So I can set an alarm,"

"He will be staying here in the meantime till he gets his own place," Ethan was the one who spoke.

"His own place? Isn’t the mansion too big for us already?" Raine might want her children to be responsible but she surely wasn’t happy to see them moving out of the house, one after another.

"His own place," Ethan confirmed. "And when he’s fully independent, he can go back to living with you."

Raine didn’t have a choice but to agree with them. It was not like she could force them to live with her anyway.

"Don’t you think it’s unusual? If anything, the poison was supposed to harm her beyond expectation but instead, she’s up and about in just a few hours after waking up." Ethan asked Kyle absentmindedly.

He was searching the drawers of his desk for the file containing Shikera’s medical history.

It was almost midnight and he was in his study presently, with Kyle who has come here to confirm what he heard from Ethan few days ago and to check on Shikera. But since he got here an hour ago, they had not been able to talk about that and had only been talking about Ethan’s wife.

Finally finding the file among a stack of folders, Ethan handed it over to Kyle.

"Go through it when you’ve got the time and see if there’s anything special or unusual." He kept his voice low as they talked, not wanting to alert the others about what they were talking about.

As soon as he saw Kyle nod, he switched subjects immediately.

"About my nightmares, I was right. I checked with my doctor then and I confirmed that the nightmares stopped that very same day which can only mean..."

Kyle interrupted him, completing the sentence for him, "...That your then doctor was incompetent, as he didn’t think to store such an important date correctly. How can a kiss cure chronic nightmare disorder?"

"Kyle, you are the doctor here and that’s what I’m paying you for. Find out why a kiss is curing nightmares!"

Kyle chuckled, "I can only do that if I’m sure that the cure is really a kiss, Ethan. Know what? Just one more trial and then I’ll believe you."

"Alright," Ethan agreed immediately to Kyle’s condition. He had also been wondering if he was wrong because even though he was not a doctor, he had never heard of a patient who got cured with a kiss. Plus, he was definitely not Snow White!

Just then, his phone pinged and he stood up while reading the incoming message.

"I will be back in a while, Kyle. She needs something..."

He walked out of his study to the top of the stairs where Enoch was standing.

"Why did you text me?" Ethan asked, following his brother’s line of sight to see Shikera bending over the table in the living room. He couldn’t see what she was doing so he asked his brother,

"What is she doing?"

Enoch simply shook his head, on his face was a confused expression.

"I’m not sure but she has been like that for a while so I thought to text you. You think she’s really alright?" He asked.

Ethan brows furrowed and he walked down the stairs. When he got closer, he noticed that there were pieces of cardboards which had been cut into different shapes, lying on the table. While Shikera was bent over them, blowing them away with her mouth as she opened and closed them at intervals.

Ethan bent down before he noticed she was trying to pronounce the word, ’PA’, to test if she could bring her voice back without having to wait to long.

"Shikera?" He called and waited until she looked up, her eyes reflecting her annoyance at the numerous failures she had encountered this same night.

"What are you trying to do?"

Expecting her to answer his question by text, he was surprised when she opened her mouth and mouthed her reply instead. Ethan could not make out what she said but he didn’t say anything, knowing she would feel bad or explode in annoyance. Instead he asked,

"It’s been long you took ice cream, you want some?"

Shikera nodded, mouthing that she wanted one that was chocolate flavored.

Cyprian was beyond angry as she tapped her finger on her table, irritating her Team leader who was sitting just a few metres away from her.

The older woman would look up from time to time at Cyprian to see if there was something the girl was working on that was making her annoyed but having checked three times now and seeing that Cyprian was idle, she flared up.

"Is anything the problem, Leigh?!" The yell was back.

Cyprian jolted before turning to her Team leader, her eyes earnestly seeking for approval.

"Team leader, can I be allowed to leave work earlier today?" she requested. Seeing the woman nod, Cyprian thanked her profusely, standing up from her seat and dashing into the elevator.

Since the previous day when she heard Shikera woke up, her mind had not been at rest because she had not been able to see and check her by herself and she was frustrated from endless worry.

And just now, a brilliant idea just popped in her mind, which she was going to use without caring about the consequences.

On getting to the ground floor, she hailed a cab to the police station.

In the taxi, she called her brother, the one who was born directly before her.

"Big brother! I’m on my way to your workplace and I’m coming to report someone," she announced, immediately the call connected, with determination brimming in her eyes.
