Falling In Love : I Love You, Today And Forever Chapter 61

Meanwhile in Country P, Ivy had successfully edited the video she had recorded. She had already discussed it with Max and they decided to cut some parts in the recording.
"Hmm. The criminal is ready to be butchered." Ivy rubbed her hands while Kira watched the glint in her eyes.
"Did you have to do all of these?"
"What did I do?" Ivy asked, perplexed.
"Did you have to disguise yourself just to get some news? Did you have to put your life at risk?"
"This is not just news Kira. It is justice for people who have become victims of some scoundrel's sins. And yes, I don't care about my life. If I am able to reveal the true nature of those bastards in front of the innocent, then everything is worth it."
"I know Ivy. But I want to tell is to have some regard for your own safety. You might be good at disguising and getting to the root to seek justice. But sometimes you cannot avoid the danger that might be lurking around you. Also, think about Aria. You two only have each other. What will happen to her if something happens to you?"
Ivy did not know how to respond.
Kira continued. "I am not saying you to stop what you are doing. You must do it, otherwise you will not be you. You will not be Ivy. What I am saying is give us your updates every few hours, so that we know you are safe. Inform us before you go."
"She is right, you know," Max commented from behind. He had listened to all Kira had said to Ivy.
"Tell us before you do anything. Or else we will be worried until you return unscathed."
Ivy scrunched her eyebrows. She never realized until now that her reckless behavior made people anxious. She felt guilty.

"I am sorry." She apologized immediately. "I promise to tell you next time."
"That's more like it," Max remarked while Kira chuckled.
"So, what are we going to do with this recording?" Ivy asked, pointing to her laptop.
"I have an idea. I have called the woman who approached us complaining about the Good City Clinic. Let's take an interview of her. After that, the Clinic's management will retaliate against us. Then we will release the clip. How's it?"
"It's good. But I have another idea." Ivy said, after some pondering.
"What?" Kira asked interested.
"It's just some modifications to his suggestions. We could also include a segment regarding the similar cases that took place three years back."
"You think.." Max said staring intently at Ivy.
"Yes." Ivy had decided to use this opportunity to investigate more on what happened three years back. If the current news and past news were related somehow, then maybe she could find something about her father. Maybe someone out there may step out and tell the truth to her. She was definite that she would find some clues after this matter was revealed to the public.
"We could do that too. But we will have to be careful."
"Or maybe not. It might be too risky. We don't know what kind of people we are dealing with." Ivy was a little confused. She couldn't deny that the matter was dangerous and she did not want her colleagues to be dragged down with her.
"Don't worry about it. We are here, to tell the truth and we will do it." Kira said confidently. Although she was the one who had reprimanded Ivy a few minutes ago to consider her safety, she herself was now thrilled to be involved in a great mission.

Ivy smiled gratefully at her.
"So, when is this woman coming?" Kira turned to Max.
"She should be here by now."
At that moment, Max's phone rang.
"Sir, the person is here to meet you," Sasha said, as soon as the call connected.
"Send her in."
"She is here," Max said, looking at the two people.
After two minutes, the door to the room opened and a woman who looked to be quite young walked in. She looked tired and sickly. Her face had gone pale and she was extremely thin, like she was malnourished.
"Please take a seat." Kira stood up and guided her to a chair beside her.
"How are you Miss?" Max asked, unsure of how to ease her uneasiness.
"I am fine. Thank you very much for taking up my case." The woman thanked.
"Miss. Umm. May we know your name?" Ivy asked.
"Linda. Linda Cruz."
"Miss Cruz, tell us in detail. What happened that day?" It was from Max.
"I had fainted one day when I was walking back home. I did not know that it was because of a low sugar level. My friend brought me to the nearest hospital, which is the Good City Clinic. The doctor told me that some parts of my liver had been damaged and they had to remove it by operation otherwise it would become dangerous in the future. I accepted for the surgery and everything went well. After a few days of my discharge, my abdomen would pain out of nowhere whenever I did some stressful jobs. This happened for a few days, so I visited a doctor near my house. He did a body scan. It was only then done I get to know that my right kidney was removed." Linda chocked. Tears started to fall uncontrollably.
Kira handed her a glass of water and patted her back, trying to console her. Linda took a sip and calmed down after some time. She continued.
"After that, I went to another doctor. He too told the same. So, I went to the Good City Clinic to demand an explanation. However, they refused to accept that I had ever been admitted to their hospital. They did not even have any records of me." This time her eyes were showing pure anger. She had shifted from a meek woman to a fierce lady.
"What happened after that?" Max asked curiously. Everybody was waiting for her to continue.
"After that, I went to the police to file a complaint. But they refused to even listen to me as I did not have any evidence." The woman said softly. "Someone then told me to approach the media. So, I came to you."
"You have done the right thing, Miss Cruz. We will help you. Okay Miss Cruz. We have decided to take your live interview during one of our news segments only if you are fine with it."
"I don't mind," Linda said, wiping her face with a tissue.
"I'll give you the list of questions we might ask you. If you have any problems with any of them tell us. We won't ask them." Ivy said.
"Okay."
"We will take your interview tomorrow. I will send you the details later. Is it fine?"
"Yes. Thank you so much for helping me."
"Let's just hope everything goes fine," Kira said hopefully.
But nobody knew that a disaster was awaiting Linda. If they had known about it, they would have taken her interview that day itself.
