She's My Sleeping Pill

817 [Bonus chapter] MAGNUS VISITS THE CABIN

The places that Cayenne and Stefan chose to visit this time were called Hawanay Village and Anduhaw Village in City B. When Cayenne expressed her willingness to help other parents who recently gave birth to their babies, Tristan readily made a research to know which place has a bigger rate of newborns. It was after a thorough investigation that they chose this place.

The villages were quite some distance from the main city and almost one hundred babies were born this year. Before the new year started, Cayenne wanted to share her blessings with them.

It was Sunday when they traveled to these villages since they ended up quite late last night from packing the things that they wanted to give. Aside from the baby essentials that they will be giving away, Cayenne and Stefan decided to give some Noche Buena packages for Christmas as well.

She wasn’t worried about the money she spent anymore. She has her own income from the videos that she uploaded to her YT account and if she ever ran out of money, she has the foundation as well. Her foundation was receiving large donations already from other people and she used the funds to help others as much as she could.

Going to Hawanay and Anduhaw took three hours of travel but no one said anything since they were all excited about the reward of their hard work. Aside from seeing the people’s smiles, Cayenne’s staff was excited about their Christmas bonus and the vacation that comes with it. She already told them that today would be their last day at work and they can come back on the second Monday of January. Who wouldn’t be happy with a long vacation?

Meanwhile, Magnus was walking back and forth inside his room with his index finger poking his chin. Something was bugging him.

On the day of the gender reveal party, he came early and decided to walk around the house to play with the dogs. He noticed that there was a new cabin built near the lake and he saw Stanley come out of the place. As far as he knew, the cabin was built for the stay-in doctor that Stefan hired. He was wondering what happened to Stefan’s uncle that prompted him to consult the family doctor. However, when their eyes met, he saw that fleeting anger cross Stanley’s face.

Aside from abandoning his sister and neglecting their love child, he couldn’t remember anything else that he offended the man. Although they weren’t on good terms, Stanley’s attitude towards him had mellowed out already because of Cayenne and Stefan. He didn’t expect him to show his hatred again after quite some time.

After that day, he didn’t bother himself with Stanley’s matter and just focused on himself as well as taking care of his father. Ferdinand was getting frail due to his old age but because of his determination to hold his grandchildren, he was doing his best to follow the doctor’s medication and reminders just to stay alive. Thankfully, fate and time weren’t doing anything to go against his wishes.

.....

At the same time, two days after that party, Magnus visited his son’s home once again. For some reason, he wanted to go fishing with him but Stefan forbade him to go near the lake. He said that his doctor didn’t like people invading his space unless it was a patient who comes for help. Magnus didn’t complain.

Then, another instance was when he decided to visit the residing doctor because he was curious about him. Although Stefan said he was a family doctor, the people who can consult him were Cayenne’s family and his maternal relatives. Magnus and Ferdinand had to visit Senyu Medical Hospital and consult their doctor there. He has never seen the doctor, not even once.

Now, it was bugging him why his son didn’t want him to meet the doctor at all. [Shall I go visit the cabin secretly when he’s not around?] Magnus asked himself while pacing back and forth. He really wanted to know why he wasn’t allowed to see the doctor.

Thinking up to this point, Magnus called Carla if Stefan and Cayenne were home. As a chef who didn’t know anything, she told him the truth that the couple went somewhere to donate some goods. Magnus got the name of the places and searched their distance from Stefan’s home. Seeing that they would probably take a long time, he didn’t bother changing his clothes and left to visit the mansion.

Carla was stunned when she saw him there because she didn’t expect the man to visit even though Cayenne and Stefan weren’t home. She thought he needed something but he directly walked to the back of the house and trekked the road to the cabin.

[Did something happen to him? Is he sick which is why he’s wanted to see the doctor secretly?] Carla has no idea of the secrets around Stefan’s family and she never really cared about it. She only wanted to do her job properly, get praise from her bosses and get her salary.

Magnus reached the cabin within two minutes and he could hear faint noises coming from the inside. It seemed like the doctor was talking to someone but he couldn’t hear any responses.

Not wanting to be misunderstood as an eavesdropper, Magnus pressed the doorbell and waited for someone to open the door for him. After all, even if the cabin was built within his son’s property, somebody else owned the house.

Stefan and Dr. Albert were cautious of this scene to come so he installed a monitoring camera at the door so that Dr. Albert would see his visitor; making sure that he would know if the person who visits him was Magnus or not.

“Magnus is here.” Dr. Albert whispered to Latticia as he pushed the wheelchair back to their bedroom. “I’ll go out and meet him. Just stay here for now and don’t come out no matter what happens.”

“O-okay. Be..ca..re..ful...”

Dr. Albert nodded his head at once and locked the door when he came out. Although Latticia could move around a little on her own, he was confident that she wouldn’t be able to unlatch the lock with her strength.

The doorbell rang again and Dr. Albert finally opened the door. When Magnus saw him, anger crossed his face and without even waiting for the doctor to invite him inside, he launched a strong punch at the man’s face. “How dare you bewitch my son to take you in?!”
