StarNovelChapter 0148 A WEEK LATER I dragged my tired eyes from the screen when my phone kept on vibrating. I knew it couldn't be Lucas because I had a separate ringing tone for his calls and his would definitely ring out, it wouldn't be Grace; she would have stormed up here if she called more than twice and I didn't pick up.

I yawned and rubbed my tired eyes then I leaned back against my seat and grabbed the phone from the table. The number calling wasn't saved on my phone and it wasn't even familiar at all. "Hello..." I drawled after I picked up the call.
"Good afternoon, ma'am. Am I speaking with Miss Sydney? You brought in Mr Mark Torres after he was involved in an accident." I frowned and sat up. "Good afternoon. Yes, I am Sydney." 6m a caregiver and I am the one assigned to Mr Mark Torres." I raised my eyebrows. I remembered that before I left the hospital last week, the doctor had suggested that I hire a caregiver that would care for Mark before his mother or fiancée would get there. I had told him that he could get him a caregiver and also made it clear that he should give him all the things and treatment that Mark needed and assured the doctor that the Torres will surely pay for everything.

My heart unnecessarily skipped a beat. "What happened?" What was it this time? It's been a week, it was enough tfor either Sandra or Rose to get to the hospital and identify themselves as relatives of Mark Torres, so why was she the one the caregiver had chosen to call? "When I got this job, I was excited that I was going to be caring for a man from a wealthy family and my pay will be steady and who knows? I might even get an increase but since I've started this job, I've only been taking care of the unconscious man, no one has cto check on him talkless of payingfor the services I've been offering for the past days."

"No one," the caregiver bit out in an exasperated tone. The doctor kept assuringthat his family was coming but it's been a week now and mere assurances would not pay my bills or put food on my table." Chapter 6148 +25 BONUS
My frown deepened. I rested my elbow on the desk and massaged my furrowed brows, "What about his and fiancée They haven't been there?" I closed my eyes after the question rolled my tongue. God, Sydney! The poor lady just said that no one has come! I reprimanded myself. It wasn't my fault though, I am stressed. y grip on
There was silence and I braced myself for the lady's outburst. But she seemed to have a steady. the reins on her emotion because she replied calmly after sseconds.
"I just said no one has visited, Miss Sydney." She clicked her tongue, "So I don't know about any fiancée orm mother but no one has showed up for him. I've been the only one taking care of him.
