My Innocent Girl novel Chapter 70

I reached the place and got off. I ran inside to the receptionist.

"Hello. I am here to see Lara Jones. I got a call--"

"Ward 842 please"

I sighed and went to the lift. I was so shocked. I don't believe that she left me. She has to be fine. Vincent said that she was just mildly poisoned. How can she die!?

I reached the floor and ran to the ward door. There was someone standing at the door.

"Hey, let me in. I am her sister" I said to the person.

She looked at me, up and down and then made a mean face. "Only blood relatives can go inside"

"She has blood relatives alive and moreover, we have been living together for years!"

"From my data, you have not been living together from last months pertaining to some fights, I can't let you in"

"Some fight!?" I almost yelled.

"Yes"

"But that is some wrong information you have!"

"I am sorry, then what was the reason?"

"I got married!"

"Can I see your marriage certificate?"

I thought. Firstly, I don't have one because marrying Vincent wasn't that legal after all. And I am not even married... I divorced...

"Well..."

"As you have no prove to back up your words, I can't let you pass"

I groaned in frustration and went downstairs. This was simply stupid. There is no such policy as far as I know.

I complained the same to the receptionist. 

"I am sorry, I can't help you in going against the hospital policy"

"But this--this is not even a policy! can't I even see my dead sister!"

"Are you sure she has no blood relatives?"

I started remembering the past. No matter how much time has passed, it still hurts the same when I remember it all.

She had no sibling and her mother committed suicide, but her father was still in Jail, if I am right...

I suddenly remembered that Chris told me my parents were out of prison. I think maybe her dad was too?

I should ask him. No matter how many problems we have with each other, I think maybe, maybe for once he could be of any help. 

I took out my phone. I stared at his name. It was quite difficult for me to call and ask for help, but I seemed to have no other way.

I called Chris.

"Ashley?" His voice was shocked.

"Yes. I wanted to ask something"

"Yeah?"

"You told me that my parents were released from the Jail. Was Lara's dad released too?"

"Um..." he thought. "yes"

"Can you find his location?"

"Will you forgive me, if I do?"

I didn't seem to have any reasons to prioritise myself here. "Yes"

"Okay"
