Lionel strode into the room and leaned over to peer at Chloe, looking up at Lex he said, "You know son, you really do owe Ms. Sullivan a lot."

Lex looked at Chloe in surprise and said, "What do you mean by that?"

"Son, Chloe was that one who found out Helen was trying to kill you. She got to me too late to stop the plane but we were able to narrow the search area"

"So that is what she was trying to tell me at the wedding, I just kept blowing her off."

Lionel looked at Lex sympathetically and said, "I am afraid so.." Before Lionel could say anything else, his phone rang, he grabbed it out of his pocket and said, "Yes." He kept nodding his head and murmuring before he said, "I see. Yes keep me informed, and whatever you do keep it out of the press." He looked at his son and said, "I am afraid I have some bad news, it appears that young Chloe's accident wasn't quite an accident, someone had severed her brake cables so that she would wreck."

Lex replied, "You have got to be kidding me, who would do such a thing to Chloe?"

Lionel looked at him and said, "You really don't know did being on that island make you stupid. Helen has every reason to want to hurt Chloe, once she found out that you were indeed still alive. By the way I had the lawyers draw up annulment papers for you."

"Thank you father, now what are we going to do about this situation. She shouldn't be alone now."

"And she won't be, I have arranged with Gabe that when she wakes up and is in stable condition, I will take you both back to the castle to recuperate with a private nurse, while you are here there will always be guards out side of the window.' Lex sat with his father in silence, taking in all of this new information, when they heard.

"Would you two please stop talking about me as if I wasn't here, and by the way where is here?"

Lionel sprung to his feet and leaned over the bed stroking her hair like he imagined he would have done had he been a father to a little girl. "My dear, you are in the hospital."

"Again, what did I do this time, have a run in with a meteor freak."

"No, you were in an accident when you were on your way to the castle; we believe it wasn't an accident. Your brake lines were cut."

"What!!!!!!!!!!" she screeched, "I am going to kill that little wench."

Lex finally spoke up and said, "Get in line, there are several people ahead of you."

Chloe looked over in surprise for the first time realizing that there was another patient in the room. "Lex, I was going to come see you after I left the castle, I had a present for you in my bag but I cannot find it now. Sorry."

"Sorry, don't be sorry I am the one to be sorry, I let you get mixed up with people like that."

Just then there was a knock on the door. As Lionel opened it he gasped...

Who is at the door and who is the girl he is with?
