Chapter 195 - She is raised like a princess, all innocent and sensitive...
As the Grey"s mansion is not too far from his villa, Scott contacted Mia. She had already informed him about Jean"s medicines on previous day which are specially prepared by military for peaceful sleep and for instant relief from throbbing pain in nerves.
Mia, who is then talking to Adam and Madam Grey about effects of poison panicked as she got Scott"s call, his cold and unstable voice sent s.h.i.+vers across her spine. Her face soon became pale at his stiff and sore throat …
She is about to rush to Scott"s mansion when Elena and Daniel insisted on coming to look after Jean. Mia politely agreed and hurriedly rushed with them. By the time they reached the mansion. Elena felt the place very familiar, she had once visited this place.
After thinking for few seconds she realization it, this is Scott"s place in neighborhood of Ca.s.sandra"s previous house.
What is Jean doing here. Is she acquainted with Scott, no it is impossible. Her niece can"t be his powerful and influential fiancée. Jean is not a genius to get into such a prestigious university, on the first place Summers will not approve her. She is not that capable to reach their standards.
Might be her fiancée knows him. Is that mean he is also as powerful as Scott. Someone who can reach the top expectations of Summers can only attract Scott and his family attention…though Elena have many questions regarding this she couldn"t ask but follow her son and Mia.
As they entered the huge and elegant mansion, all the house staff are in verge of crying. The atmosphere lingered with anxious and terrified suffocation. As soon as Mia saw the Butler whose face is unusually pale and drenched with sweat, she could vaguely sense how Scott would be struggling now seeing his beloved in this condition.
When it comes to Jean he is no more that strong headed and emotionless person. She is very delicate and sensitive spot in his life. This is how it might be if a usual cold and haughty person fall in true love. All his energy and sanity depends on that person"s beck and call.
"Uncle, where is Jean. Please hurry up" Mia asked him as soon as she got back into senses. The more she delays the more Scott will get aggressive and agitated. She is not ready to face his ire….
"Dr. Mia, Madam is upstairs with Master. Please be careful, he is in rage" Butler s.h.i.+vered and his legs buckled as he remembered his boss"s ashen face. He still couldn"t measure how much his boss loves Jean.
"OK, thanks." Three of them hurriedly rushed upstairs.
As Elena remembers the first floor only have chambers belonging to Scott. Even Butler called Jean as Madam. If she is really Scott"s fiancée then Adam"s dooms day can be easily counted on her fingers.
In the three huge projects Grey"s acquired, two projects are already in control of Jean. The only project Adam is now relying on to protect his position as CEO is the one with Cyphers. It is his life savior now.
If this also turns out in same way, the fate of whole Grey"s empire will be in Jean"s grip. She will become CEO in no time. Though Elena trusts Jean and her capabilities, according to her Jean is still young and naïve to handle a big empire.
Only if Elena finds out Jean is CEO of most famous empire called INA which is three times bigger and complicated to handle than Grey"s empire. What will happen if she finds out that her niece is not only a CEO but also a famous doctor and official member in Valdez"s researches.
As they entered the master suite of the mansion all are dumbstruck because of its extravagance. It looked like it belongs to next world and is so modern. Except for Mia, Daniel and his mother are in daze by seeing the interior view.
By the time they entered the bedroom they s.h.i.+vered involuntarily by the coldness that is radiating from one man whose heart is blazing with rage and fear.
Mia rubbed her arms uncomfortably and carried herself near to the enraged husband of her demoness. Scott is s.h.i.+rtless and his muscular chest is drenched with sweat . He is holding Jean to his heart very reluctant to part from her..
Elena followed Mia"s line of sight to see Jean"s mysterious fiancée. He is holding Jean"s hands and her palms are pressed against his cheeks while his face is buried into her hair. Elena couldn"t see his face but she is almost sure it is Scott Summers.
Who can be this magnificent other than him…
As Scott noticed some moment of someone approaching him he quickly glared at them. Mia froze momentarily frightened by the ghost expression on his face.
Jean is wearing black PJ and her forehead is covered with wet cloth, she looked feeble and gaunt in his enormous arms. She is tightly holding Scott"s hand as she slept on his lap with her head is half pressed to his chest. Her face is red and she is s.h.i.+vering, despite of warming atmosphere in the room.
"Why the h.e.l.l did you take this long" Scott yelled at Mia. He choked his words and he is afraid ..seeing tearful and terrified face of Mia he sighed and closed his eyes and breathed deeply to control his raging emotions
"Scott cool down. This is common right, Her migraine is every time this intense. She will be fine in no time" Mia comforted him as she gave him new medicines sent by Jean"s mentor. No one had ever seen her mentor, but he somehow finds everything that"s happening with Jean and always help her if isn"t something that his favorite student can"t control.
Otherwise how can a person find such a advanced medicines that are only meant for military purposes...that too which are allowed to be in hands of the top most ranked officer.
But he never helps her if there is at least one way to handle the situation….he is strict and solemn. He can"t be reached by anyone including Jean and he will only show up when things are beyond control, is that means Jean"s migraine is getting much worse…
"No, Mia. She is s.h.i.+vering uncontrollably and her eyes are never this red. She fainted but she is almost screaming all the night, I tried so hard to wake her up. But she is same like now, motionless, It looked like she was having nightmares but she couldn"t wake up. She is fine now, but why is she not waking up, this never happened" he choked while tears welled up slowly in his eyes.
Elena just came back to her senses after listening to his unstable tone. It is really Scott Summers….and he is deeply worried about Jean. If he is overreacting and was very anxious even for the small pain Jean is suffering then how will he react if he knows how many hardsh.i.p.s Jean had faced in her childhood.
He will wipe up whole family like a dust on his slippers. Elena is happy as well as sad, though she loves Jean and wants her to be happy she also loves her second brother and also wanted him to lead accomplished and luxurious life. Both are very important people in her life…
"Scott, don"t worry. These medicines are specially designed to work on this type of things. She will wake up. Just be patient" Mia patted his shoulder.
Daniel just returned after talking to his grandparents about Jean. They are worried after knowing Jean fainted, they didn"t think her migraine is this intense. It is same as her mother"s…
Elena remembered something after looking at the tablets Mia pa.s.sed to Scott. "Even her mother use to suffer like this" she muttered all in sudden.
Scott snapped his head suddenly in her direction. This is the first time they are having a conversation and it is about Jean"s mother.
"Is it, same like this. How did she manage then" Scott asked concerned about Jean.
"I don"t know, Her mother Sophia is very sensitive and barely use to visit family mansion afraid of this ferocious Vanessa. First we thought that she is not adjusted to this life, given with her normal life as commoner. But she was always distant and was barely close to any of us but she was polite and meticulous woman"
"Vanessa use to humiliate her because of her dest.i.tute background. Sophia was a good person but she was unusually calm and stoic. She use to never attend any high cla.s.s events, when she was forced to come Vanessa use to humiliate her to no end but still she use to be unfazed"
"In one of the event like that Jean got badly humiliated and this caused unbearable pain for Sophia. At last she retaliated back but suddenly she got attacked with migraine. She fainted and was taken to hospital, after that no one knows what happened but Sophia disappeared for some months. During then Jean stayed with us, that is how Jean was so bonded to me and Daniel."
" Not long after she returned, my brother and Sophia were killed in accident. After returning I was the only one person who saw how really Sophia was. She was fierce and unusually genius. I didn"t expect her to be that outstanding and still I don"t know why she acted innocent and country girl type" Elena said calmly.
"What about her background. Her family" Scott asked Elena, if he will know who they are….maybe they would know why Jean"s migraine is so intense when compared to others.
"Her background is below ordinary. She was so poor and she didn"t even complete her degree. When she entered family she was twenty six and already had Jean. She didn"t had any family except her grandfather who shortly died after Sophia got killed in accident"
"Hmm…thank you. Do Jean knows all this" Scott asked again as he combed Jean"s hair with his fingers. After tucking her hair beneath her ear he kissed her forehead. His eyes never left her face…
"Not much, mostly Jean use to stay with her grandparents most of the time and Sophia use to hide all these from Jean and act happy. She never let Jean take any stress, Jean is raised like a princess with no hint of physical or mental pain. She is not trained with any type of physical defenses or was allowed to take any risk of tension and work load. This is why all are shocked to see Jean in her fierce mode." Elena sighed thinking how innocent and sensitive Jean was raised until her mother"s death.
Scott stared at Elena indifferently, his eyes are void and emotionless. His body is present but his mind is wandering around the thought of similarities between Elena"s words and professor"s warning.
Seems like her migraine is not at all an ordinary one….
"OK, let Jean rest for now. I will stay here tonight and if she wakes up I will check her vitals. Scott change her into some loose and comfortable dress. Wipe her body and face but for her forehead do it more often and make sure you stay by her side." Mia ordered Scott. "But no any intimat-"
"Hmm.. Ok" Scott said indifferently. Elena raised her eyebrow after listening to Mia. She said him to wipe Jean"s body and change her dress as if it is most normal thing he do. She even warned him about so which others dare to talk to him. So they are already very intimate beyond her expectations…
"How did she wake up from sleep." Mia enquired.
"Don"t know Mia, after coaxing her to sleep I went back to study room. All in sudden Jean came and started crying. She had a nightmare before she fainted " Scott said guiltily.
"Scott you know that Jean couldn"t sleep peacefully without your warmth and comfort. She got habituated so much to you being in her side and being in your arms, mostly when she suffers migraine" Mia scolded him softly.
Elena saw them with amus.e.m.e.nt. Jean"s parents never showed any signs of intimacy, all they got is mutual respect and admiration for each other. They never quarreled nor been so affectionate. But Jean is totally opposite to her parents.
All in sudden Jean squirmed aggressively in Scott"s arms. She is s.h.i.+vering uncontrollably as she cried and screamed. "No.. No, don.. don"t leave. Sa.. Save him.... Please" she shouted in middle of her sobs. Then she jolted awake with red eyes...
