Chapter 4

UNKNOWN'S POV

I don't know why Mr. Hellsman Jr. wanted me to follow a mere commoner. I looked at him through the mirror. He's eyes were pointed at the screen of the ipad he held in his hands. Judging by his expressions, it seemed he was very furious and that somebody would face his death anytime today. But, what made me think was the boy whom we were following was a very simple looking commoner. It didn't seem like he would be of threat to the Hellsmans.

Luca was sitting besides me. I glanced at him sideways without taking off my eyes off road. He looked shocked as me too. I signalled him by tapping twice on his hand with my little finger of the hand which i used to change gear. He understood and looked at me.

"What's wrong with Young Master?" I mouthed.

"Don't know," he mouth backed and rolled his eyes.

After a while, we reached at which looked like a hospital. Driving little further, i saw the Entrance gate with big bold letters which read ' Providence Alaska Medical Centre'. I stopped the car which led young master to look up.

"Uh.. Why did you stop?" he asked.

"Master, we've reached. The boy entered the hospital. Do we follow in?" I asked while trying to be as cautious as i can be.

He spaced out again. Seeing him like this makes everybody worry to death. After all he was just a kid and Master being sick, it was difficult for him to look after everything.

"Young master, do we follow him in?" I asked him again.

"Yes, drive in. While being here, il also visit Henry. He'll jump to death if he know I came to his hospital. Can't wait to meet him though." He said with a little smile.

Henry was his best friend. He graduated from a medical school in Seattle along with Young master and then moved back to Alaska.

"Yes, master," I nodded and drived him in.

I stopped in front of the hospital gate. Luca made a call and then getting down, he ran over to the other side and opened the door for master.

JAKE' S POV

I felt little uneasy after Jonathan left. Not that i doubted him, but there was something about him that was very weird. It seemed like he was hiding something.

I immediately dialled a no. and asked to get my car ready. "Follow me," I told Luca.

After a while, we reached a hospital. My driver told me that Jonathan had entered the hospital. I wondered why. I asked him to drive in. "Now that I am here, I might as well meet Henry," I thought to myself. Henry was my best friend. I met him in Seattle where he studied in a medical college. But then he returned back to Alaska.

And oh, did i forget to tell that my family co-owned this hospital. Therefore, visiting the hospital would be

a given. Luca dialled a no. and then rushed to my side to open the door.

Although I tried not to interrupt the hospital work, it did seem to happen. As soon as I got down, from god only knows where, the reporters swarmed and started attacking me with many questions. I got irritated by the questions and mostly the flashes of the camera. Luca rushed to me along with 2 more bodyguards and made a way for me to go in. As i entered the CEO of the hospital, Dr. Joanne rushed to meet me..

"Mr. Hellsman, welcome to the hospital. You could have let your assistant tell us you are visiting, we would do our best to welcome you." She rumbled.

I didn't pay attention to her. Realising thay I should respond very carefully, "If I had to let you know about my visit, things would have been different apart from now which is more realistic, isn't it?" I said with a smirk.

"You sure know to maintain your reputation as the coldest man in Alaska.." A voice said hugging him from behind.

"Who the hell----" I stopped as I saw that familiar face-- Henry. I did not really expect him to cone like that. I did not waste time and hugged him back.

The look on the faces if the crowd who stood there looking at us was worth watching. I mean, me, The Underworld Lord, could be so soft too. Trust me, I didn't believe myself either.

"Bro.. You..? How come..? Oh!! You have become a doctor now." I said looking at him. "I missed you, man" saying i hugged him back. It really felt warm in this cold Alaskan weather.

His face shined bright with a smile as he heard me saying i missed him.

"I missed you too, kiddo." He said patting my hair. Yes, he was 4 years elder to me. He was more like a brother than a friend. "I wondered if i could ever meet you in person again.. and you know what, just yesterday Cathy asked about you. She misses you too." The smile left his face as he said this.

I gave him my cellphone, " Here, give me your no." he took it hurriedly and type his no. "Thanks" I said taking back my phone and dialled his no so that he can have mine.

"Gotcha" He said waving his phone. And then he left.

"Get us some water please, thank you" Dr. Joanne said as she spoke to someone on the landline.

"Are you adjusted to Alaska yet, Mr. Hellsman?? Do you miss Seattle alredy?? What you think is better?" She asked smiling.

"Umm.. I guess," I laughed; "But not really.. Like Seattle has become my home now although Alaska is. And I felt quite bad for having to leave Seattle although I longed to back to Alaska. My heart was here, I have to admit." I wondered why I said that last line. Luca just raised his eyebrow meaning to ask me what i meant. I did not mind him.

After a while, we left and I asked Luca to get the car to the back gate. He nodded and left. I thought taking elevators might attract people, so I took stairs. When I reached the 6th floor, i heard someone sobbing. I tiptoed so as to not alarm the person. I moved forward only to see Jonathan standing against the wall and crying badly. But what suprised me was the woman who rushed to him and hugged him. I kept silence and texted Luca that i had to use the washroom and to wait for me in the car. I silenced my phone so as to not get caught.

"Honey, your aunt will be fine.. She has just fainted. Agnel Thompson is the best neurosurgeon as you know and he is my best buddy. He will surely do his best to save Celia." the woman patted his head and told him.

Jonathan was still sobbing. I don't understand why, i felt a tug at my heart to see him breaking down like this.

"Alisha, I lost mom dad when i was just 8yrs. It was very hard for me to cope up with losing them both," he said crying.

I was shocked to hear that. What?? He lost his both parents when he was 8? He suddenly reminded me of Jeff. He should have been the same age then.. My heart started racing. "No, no, no.. Calm down Jake, Calm down. He's Jonathan.. He's not Jeff." I tried telling myself.

I was about to leave when something i heard made me stop in my place and my heart almost stopped---- "Jeff."

The woman said "Jeff, you have to be strong. I know Celia is your family. She's like your mom, i know it all Honey. But right now i just want you to calm down. Let's just go to Agnel and talk to him. Let's see what he has to say about her condition, alright?"

"Fuck!!!!!" I cursed myself. "He's Jeff. Jeff.. Oh my god.. Jonathan is actually Jeff. How??" I thought to myself. That is why I could not find him for years. I almost panicked not knowing what to do. i felt my phone vibrate so i took it out to see Luca's text asking if everything was alright and why i was taking time.. I sent him a quick reply asking him to wait.

"I got a job offer at the Hellsman Mansion," Jonathan.. oh.. Jeff said.

"What?? Are you serious?? Haven' t you and Celia doing everything to avoid any contact to them since the incident??? Then why?? Does Celia know about it?? Jeff.. Think carefully before you accept----"

She was interrupted by him, " I signed the contract already." The woman froze.

"Did they recognise you? Does he remember you? Are you alright after seeing him again??"

What was she talking about?? What does that mean??

"Jeff, Celia had told me that you blame yourself for the death of your parents.

But, it's not your fault. Your dad was such a person, he would still die himself and save that kid even if u didn't ask him to do so." she stated.

So, it was because of him, that i got saved??? He asked his parents to save me? I could feel a lump coming up my throat.

"No, he did not recognise me. Pretty sure he does not remember me."

I do remember you idiot. Have been searching for you since 18yrs.

"And i never told them I was Jeff. There's no proof that I am Jeff. I have my name Jonathan everywhere. Celia made sure in order to protect me." Jeff told the woman.

That was enough now.. I had heard more than I should have. It was too much to process. I could feel something building up in my body. I could not take it more.

I pretended to walk straight. As I was walking, I stopped "Hey, uh.. Jonathan? Am i right?" I paused and looked at him and the woman who looked startled, "yeah.. its you."

"Umm.. hi.." he looked up to me wiping his tears, " Mr. Hellsman.. Are you unwell? How come... ? Hospital..?"

"Boy, are you worrying about me now, when you are in so much pain yourself? Your parents were really great.. And the one who raised you is an amazing woman." I thought to myself unable to say it aloud.

Seeing how I spaced out he called me again, "Mr. Hellsman, do you need help? Should I call the doctor?"

"Ahh.. No no.. Am completely fine buddy. But u don't seem to be. All ohk? I asked him looking at the woman and back to him.

" Um yeah.. All fine. Oh.. Alisha, this is Mr. Hellsman I was talking about," he said pointing towards me. The woman was almost in her 40s. She bowed a little and gave a thin smile looking at me.

"Mr. Hellsman, this is my aunt Celia's best friend Alisha. She is also my aunt. They both have raised me together.. More like my mothers than my aunts." He said pointing to the woman. And the woman she patted his head and put a few locks of his hairs behind, looking at him with admiration while tears in her eyes..

"My boy," She said, "We were and are lucky to have you honey.." She looked at me and smiled "Please take care of him at work, Mr. Hellsman."

"Please call me Jake, Miss Alisha. I am too younger to you" I said with caution, "And don't you worry, I will treat him well. I promise."

Alisha smiled at me and mouthed, "thank you." Guess they both were tired. But what made them feel so helpless?

Just then we were interrupted by an announcement on the speaker which looked like an emergency situation..

"Code Blue! Code Blue! Code Blue! Room no. 1609. Room no. 1609. Code Blue---" the speaker said.

"Noooo.... F*ck!!!!!" Jeff and Alisha both screamed and ran. Judging their reactions, something must be wrong with his aunt Celia.

I quickly took my phone out and typed "SOS 1609, NOW!!!!!" Putting my phone back in the pocket, I rushed behind them only to see the doctors performing CPR on the lady. On one side stood Jeff and Alisha, hugging each other and crying.

Just when I was about to enter in, "Young Master, what's the matter?" Luca stopped me.

I looked at him with tears in my eyes. He quickly pulled me into a hug and patted my back. "Jakey, what's wrong kiddo? Tell me. You know you can tell me... yeah.." he whispered. "Look at me, tell me what's wrong. What made you cry? I will kill the person who hurt you like this." he said looking into my eyes.

"Luca.." I stuttered. He nodded.

"He.. He.. is here.. Jeff is here.." His eyes widened hearing me say his name.

He looked into the room at the young boy crying. "Isn't he.. wait.. Jonathan is Jeff???" He almost screamed.

"That lady.." I said while crying. "That lady on bed is Celia, Luca.. She is Celia, who you have been looking for since past years." I told him only to see his eyes tear up. His hold on me loosened.

"I need to make a call" he said and removed his cellphone. A few moments later, "My lady, we have found Celia. But its too late.. She.. She is dying." he said trying hard not to cry.

"My lady??? Thats' my mom!!" I thought to myself. Why did he call her?? And why were they searching her??

"Why???" I questioned Luca with my full authorative voice. He understood and quickly bowed and said, "Young master, My lady wanted to repay here for risking her life to eradicate the smuggling gang of the Tomlinsons. She was tortured and abused, but she managed somehow to escape and saved her life. Since then, she changed her face by undergoing plastic surgery. And the people who saved her were Jeff's parents." He continued, "Joshua Crawford, the heir to the World's Top 5 Diamond Manufacturing Companies, is Jeff's father who was killed in the crash." What's going on?? I could not believe what I was hearing. "Joshua lived as an ordinary man working as a mechanic and his wife Phoebe was an assistant at some office. He left all his rights just to marry Phoebe whom he loved. And he didn't want his son Jeff to be involved in that too, so he never revealed his identity to his son. Juliana, Joshua's younger sister died in an accident and and the same time Celia was tortured. Her face was a complete mess. But known for his great heart, Joshua signed for the plasty and gave her Juliana's face, but kept her name. Later on, as time passed by, he told her everything and helped her remember her past. This happened even 2 3 years before the attempt to kill your family in which both Joshua and Phoebe died saving us." he stopped.

I turned around and saw him.. He was still hugging his aunt and crying. " I will make sure you get all that you deserve Jeff. The Hellsman Family owes you their lives. I will repay each and every debt. You will be my brother for life. No matter if i have to die, but i will protect you." I thought to myself. Luca knowing my situation, reached out to me and placed his strong hand on my shoulder.

A minute later, I saw the doctors coming out. I stopped one of them, "How is that lady doing? I am one of her family members, but distant due to family matters. Please tell me she is fine." I was almost about to tear up.

The doctor however recognised me, "Forgive me sir, but aren't you Mr. Hellsman?"

"Yes, you're right. That boy is my employee. I know him and his family. Since my father insisted, I am here to visit him, but given the situation, i don't think its a good idea to disturb them."

"Oh, no problem Sir. This way please." He said looking around.

"Actually she has big tumor in her head which is right besides the brain and it is not advisable scientifically to operate and it is suppresing her optic nerves, that means, one step wrong and she might either stay alive and be blind her whole life or she might die on the operating table. Dr. Thompson, the neurosurgeon has already spoken to the family. They have signed the DNR Form just now inside. So we stopped. They wish to let her go peacefully." The doctor said.

I nodded to him "Thank you" and he left. I felt my cheeks burning up with tears. My fists clenched were turning blue. I heard Luca calling up the Mansion and talking to my mother while my eyes closed slowly drawing me into darkness. I could hear a faint voice, "young master! Young master, Jakey stay with me, keep your eyes open, jakey........"
