I am hurting someone

   Epiosde-157 I am hurting someone      Celeste’s POV:                             Steven is here as the doctor is checking dad, I am just worried.. please everything should be fine…. After few minutes doctor conformed dad was much better. Dad said, “Doc.. I need to go home, this place makes me feel sick..”    Doctor looked at me and then said, “well.. if you take care of his diet and himself he would be fine…”     I said, “ok… but please can you arrange a nurse for him…” I need someone skilled take care of dad. Doctor said, “ok.. we will arrange..”    I was paying bill, Steven came to me and said, “Celeste… let me do this..” he pulled his wallet and was about to do it.    I said, “Mr. Steven.. please.. we can do it… and he is my dad, not yours…”    Steven said explaining, “I didn’t mean that… I just wanted to help… and it’s nothing… I feel good if I can help..”   I passed my card to the counter and said, “We won’t need it.. I am not being rude but I don’t need anyone to pay for my father’s hospital bill… please..” he looked at me for a wide moment..     He didn’t said anything till the payment was done, then he said, “Celeste… why are you like this?... I appreciate your honesty and dedication… but aren’t you too defensive…”    I just replied, “I am not use to taking help….. anyways it would be wrong if you paid for my dad’s medical fees just because you want to help” it’s not his place to do it.    He said, “I thought doing it as I considered you as family…” he took my hand and asked, “what happened to your finger?”    I looked at him, what should I tell?.. I pulled out the ring off my finer last night..… I pulled my hand to myself and said, “nothing…”    Steven pulled me close to him and asked, “Celeste did he did anything to you?... I know about him and you, your dad told me he is forcing you… but you can ask me, I am enough to take you with me…. you don’t need to fear Ernest…”    Will he really help me?.. I moved away and took around in awkwardness. I noticed Ace was on wheel chair as he was looking at me and Steven.. what did he thought we were doing?    I said, “Ace… dad want to go home, Daisy will take few more days,…. Do you want to go home with us?”    Ace looked at me expressionlessly and said, “Miss… No… I think I need to stay in the hospital..” I smiled and said, “ok..” I remember what he was said to me…. it must be hard for him… I am hurting someone…. And now Steven….    Steven insisted in dropping me home with dad.. dad agreed so I didn’t said anything… well he is helpful… I unlocked the house, well our house is big… but I really hope Steven don’t insist on staying here… this would be awkward for me..     Dad’s bodyguard was helping him with the wheelchair. I said, “dad. Rest… I will ask maids to make something for dinner..”    Dad said to Steven, “Steven stay here for dinner…” I walked upstairs, I still remember that day, that was horrific… but Ernest came in to save me that day… I am sure if I didn’t get help that day then my humiliating death was the only way for me….     I felt someone grabbing my hand as I was busy in my thoughts… I saw Steven. I tried to pull away but he said, “Celeste… let me hold it… I won’t do anything…”
