"That must be Alex, right?" asked Angelina to the point when Josh returned."Wh-what?""The one who called you," said again."Ah, y-yes. He called me to ask where you were," Josh replied, not lying.Angelina just nodded without responding to Josh's confession with words."Angelina, you take it easy, I didn't tell Alex where you were," Josh continued without being asked for an explanation.Angelina nodded again. "Yes, thank you," Angelina replied again to Josh's words casually. Without making an expression, flatly expressionless.Josh was increasingly unable to bear seeing Angelina's condition, which almost resembled the undead."Angelina, you missed your lunch hour, you must be hungry, right? Tell me what you want to eat and I'll go buy it for you," Josh said again.Angelina shook her head helplessly. "I'm not hungry.""Angelina, you still have to eat. You still have to maintain your health and survive to stay alive," Josh persuaded unwillingly."What am I living for, Josh? Shouldn't
"Of course, I would have come, you idiot! Where is that poor girl now?" asked the one who had just arrived."She's inside, she's still sleeping, come in, Lou," Josh said back.Yes, the person who just came in was Louis.They then entered an apartment that Josh deliberately booked to secure Angelina."How is she?" Louis asked as he walked in."As I told you earlier, Lou, I'm very concerned about her," Josh replied.That's right, Josh had told Louis about Angelina's situation, not briefly, but in as much detail as possible. It made Louis rush to come after finishing some of his work, even handing over the rest of the work he was supposed to handle to other doctors because Louis was very worried about Angelina's condition.Louis had checked Angelina's condition several times, so he knew very well how Angelina's condition was. And that's why Louis felt he had to come to check Angelina's condition.Josh brought Louis to see Angelina's condition who was still asleep."Look, even in a state
Louis was amazed to hear Angelina refer to him as brother. Then Louis chuckled to himself."Brother?" Louis muttered under his breath but Angelina could hear him."I don't have anyone here anymore, my mum and little brother have gone to be with God, and Josh said I could think of you guys as brothers. Do you mind, Louis?" asked Angelina with a hopeful look in her eyes."No-no, of course I don't mind, Angelina, I'm just happy to hear the call. Aren't you, Josh?" replied Louis.Josh nodded his head several times. "Yes, that's right, we'd love it if you'd consider us your brothers, Angelina," Josh continued to add to what Louis had said."Thank you very much," said Angelina gratefully."By the way, you always say your mum and younger brother died but you never say where your dad is, Angelina, whether your dad has also passed away or ...."Louis did not continue his words because he saw the look on Angelina's face that suddenly changed after hearing Louis mention about father."Ah, sorry,
Instead of accusing, Josh suspects that Louis told Alex about their existence, because Josh forgot to tell Louis to keep Angelina's existence a secret from Alex.Louis shook his head. "No, I didn't. In fact, Alex hasn't contacted me at all," Louis replied, frowning."Let's see, so we know who's coming," Angelina chimed in.Josh nodded. "Let me open the door, I'm the one who booked this apartment," Josh said as he got up from his seat. Josh's position was then replaced by Louis who was now sitting right next to Angelina.Louis sighed, still feeling guilty about his question a few moments ago which was able to make Angelina remember the bitter past."Angelina, once again I apologise. I shouldn't make you remember the bitter things you've experienced after you've struggled to get up from that difficult life," Louis said with a heavy sigh."You don't need to apologise repeatedly, Louis, you're innocent. I'm okay. It's all in the past anyway. it's in the past. I feel relieved now that I c
"What do you want Alex to do if Alex chooses Camila, Angelina?" asked a curious Josh, not unlike a curious Louis."For this matter, sorry, I can't tell you. Let only me know," replied Angelina refusing to answer.Louis and Josh both nodded in understanding, not wanting to force it if Angelina didn't want to say it. The girl must have her own reasons, right?"Yes, we understand," Louis replied on behalf of Josh as well."Angelina, is it okay if we talk about Alex now? Is it okay if I tell you Alex's message, and tell you what I heard Alex say on the phone?" asked Josh, seeking Angelina's approval first."Yeah, just say it if you think it's something you need to say. I'll hear it," replied Angelina, inviting Josh to speak."Alex is worried about you, Angelina. And from his tone I can tell he must be very frustrated." Josh began to say."Not frustrated about me leaving, right? Tsk, of course not," Angelina said quickly."Yes, he was frustrated because he was looking for you. I also got a
"What are you thinking about me? Tell me quickly, Josh, Louis!" said Angelina again because the question did not get an answer."Ah? Ee ... that, we ....""You guys don't want to talk, huh?" insisted Angelina continuously."N-no, Angelina, that's not it. We... we just think you're very pretty and charming," Josh stammered back."And we just realised," Louis continued."Yes, we did. No wonder Alex is enamoured with you," Josh continued."Yeah, right, right," Louis added with a grin."Is that really all you guys think about?" asked Angelina again, still pressing."Y-yes, that's it, nothing else," Josh replied quickly though a little haltingly."Yeah, nothing else, just a bit of lust-"Josh immediately shut up Louis who he thought was so stupid. Couldn't keep his words.Feeling guilty, Louis didn't rebel, he just grinned like a fool."Tsk! Men, all the same, perverts!" Angelina swore openly then she got up and went to her room again.Louis and Josh could only gawk at Angelina walking awa
Josh was surprised to hear Angelina's sentence which sounded hesitant and stammered."No, that's not what I meant, Angelina. Sorry to make you misunderstand," said Josh immediately correcting his words before Angelina thought anything."But there is only one room here, Josh, we can't sleep together, right?" said Angelina feeling anxious. Especially since Josh and Louis had said that they were both interested in Angelina."True, there is only one room here. You sleep in the room, and I'll sleep on the sofa in front," Josh replied without thinking twice."But, Josh, sleeping on the sofa won't make you comfortable," Angelina responded."No problem, Angelina, I can sleep on the sofa. Unless you want us to sleep together here, I'll be happy to do that," Josh chirped, which immediately made the girl scramble to make a protective gesture."You ... are you sure you want to sleep with me? Aren't you afraid Alex will skin you? What if Alex's demon soul awakens and you're killed in the blink of
Josh immediately turned his attention, to stare at the person who had just spoken."Angelina, aren't you sleeping?" Josh asked and then stood up."I heard you were calling someone, so I came out," replied Angelina while sitting on the sofa, followed by Josh who was sitting next to Angelina."Was it Alex who called?" asked Angelina once again."Yes," Josh replied as he put his mobile phone on the table, which he had been holding."What did he say?" asked Angelina curiously."He's worried about you," Josh replied matter-of-factly, not intending to cover up.Thinking about it, Josh is like a bridge of communication between Alex and Angelina who are fighting. But it's okay, he sincerely helped Alex and Angelina so that the two of them got back together and forgave each other."He's worried about me after he gave me a wound? Will he only treat someone well after he hurts?" sneered Angelina with the remaining resentment that still enveloped her heart.When she imagined how Alex and Camila p
Alex and Emily immediately locked mouths when Louis called out for everyone to be quiet. And both of them looked away."Akh! Damn, are you hurting me on purpose?" Alex suddenly groaned in pain when Louis did an action that managed to make Alex hurt."It's noisy! I said be quiet!" snapped Louis ignoring Alex who blamed him."If you weren't my friend, I'd sue you!" said Alex sharply."Sue me, I'm not afraid," Louis replied casually."That's it, now you can blab all you want!" Louis said again.Louis had finished treating the wound on Alex's shoulder and repairing the stitches that had opened due to Oliver's actions earlier. Taking off his gloves, Louis let the nurse clean up the tools that had just been used."I'm not in the mood! I forgot what I was going to say earlier," Alex retorted irritably."You forgot but I didn't. You think I'm defending Oliver and accuse me of doing that because I like him, you're crazy!" snapped Emily realizing her protest that was stopped by Louis moments ag
"Move me to the same room as Angelina, Lou, I want to be with her," Alex pleaded as the man was taken to his own ward.Louis wanted to argue but Dominik's voice silenced him."Please just do what he wants, Louis, there's no time to argue!""Alright, Uncle, I understand. I'll arrange it right away," Louis replied unable to argue.Louis immediately went out of the room and asked for the help of some officers to help move Alex to the same room as Angelina.Several officers entered Angelina's ward where Louis' colleague, Doctor Yenny, was already present, in addition to Josh and Emily."What's wrong, Doctor Louis? Why are you here? Aren't you taking care of your patients?" Yenny asked."Doctor Yenny, sorry to bother you but I need you to help me. Alex wants to be moved to the same room as Angelina, so please help me organize this room, is that okay?" Louis said asking for approval."Louis, is Alex okay?" asked Angelina weakly."Just think of yourself, Angelina. I'll move him here soon. He
"Emily, that's Oliver's voice, isn't it? Is he with Alex right now? What are they doing?" Suddenly, Angelina was attacked by panic after hearing Oliver's voice shouting and ended up mentioning Alex's name."It looks like they're together, Angelina," Emily replied in the affirmative."You don't need to interfere in my business with Angelina, nor do you have the right to say about who deserves to love Angelina. Do you think you're performing for her?" Alex's voice was just as loud as Oliver's earlier."They really are together, Emily, but why is Oliver here? Isn't he supposed to be working out of town?" asked Angelina frowning."I forgot to tell you, he transferred to this hospital, Angelina," Emily explained."What? No! We need to get to them fast, Emily!" Instantly Angelina had a bad feeling. She was afraid there would be a fight between the two men. Especially now that Alex's condition was very weak, Angelina was worried about Alex, very much.Emily just nodded and then immediately h
"Angelina, don't run around, you're still not fully recovered so--""Akh!"Before Emily could finish her sentence, Angelina was already groaning in pain while holding her stomach."Angelina! You're in pain, we should just go back to the ward, okay? Let Louis and the others take care of Alex," persuaded Emily who could not bear to see Angelina in pain."No, Emily, we're already here, I don't want to go back. I have to see Alex." Angelina did not agree to Emily's invitation because they had walked far and soon they reached the rooftop, Angelina did not want what she had done earlier to be in vain if she returned to her ward."You're stubborn! Let me help you, don't run around anymore, I'll lead you, just slow down," Emily said and Angelina could only nod without being able to refuse.One by one they climbed the stairs, and it felt like they took a very long time even though there were only a few stairs left for them to reach the rooftop. It was because Angelina was having trouble walkin
"I've given up. I'm not sure I'll still be accepted by Angelina," Alex said as he returned to his ward."What's more now she's alone with Emily and we all know Emily expressed her reservations about my relationship with Angelina. I'm afraid Emily is poisoning Angelina's mind," Alex added."Don't be prejudiced against Emily, I know she won't pressure her best friend, she must respect Angelina's decision. Emily is not a selfish girl," Louis replied."You're so insecure, I'm not sure you really love Angelina, Alex," a middle-aged man chided."What do you mean, Dad?" asked Alex frowning."If you really loved her you would be able to feel Angelina's feelings for you, and you would know the answer, whether she would accept you again or kick you out of her life," Dominik explained.Alex was silent for a long time. He thought hard and remembered little by little about the days he had passed together with Angelina.Alex felt that what his father said was right. If Alex really loved Angelina he
After Louis and the others left, there was silence in Angelina's ward.Angelina chose to remain silent. She wanted to discuss it with Emily but she was already insecure because Emily had said her opinion earlier, that she did not expect her to return with Alex.No different from Angelina who kept feeling reluctant, Emily also chose to remain silent because she was worried that if she talked too much it would add to Angelina's burden of mind. Moreover, she has already argued about her objection to her best friend accepting Alex's invitation to get back together.Angelina pulled the blanket up more, until it covered her chest, if earlier it only covered her stomach."Rest, Angelina, I will accompany you here and I will not let them bother you," Emily said to reduce awkwardness."Thank you, Emily. If you're tired you can come up next to me, we can lie down together. This bed is quite spacious," Angelina replied.Yes, in the VIP ward, the beds were wider and could have been used by two pe
"Please help Alex up!" Caroline called out to anyone willing to help her. However, before his mother could touch her, Alex raised her hands in the air to signal his mother not to approach him."Nobody comes near me! No need to help me!" Alex exclaimed in a stern tone."Angelina, I know and I am very aware that I have hurt you a lot. I know I'm selfish if I keep asking you for a chance again and again. But, I can't just let you go either. You can be angry and hate me, but you have to believe me that I really love you. I don't think of you as someone else's shadow at all. You are you, Angelina Brigitte, the woman who healed my wounds and accepted my flaws."Kneeling on the cold floor of the air-conditioned room, barefoot, Alex spoke thus."I regret, really regret my stupidity because again I was deceived by that damn woman, I never thought Camila would cooperate with Roy, that's because I was very weak and I underestimated the enemy too much. But I promise I will be stronger from now on
Angelina didn't answer Alex's question, the girl kept looking away, not wanting to look at Alex at all."Angelina, why won't you look at me? Are you angry with me?" Alex asked again because Angelina never answered."Alex, go back to your ward. Both you and I need a good rest, so get out of here and let me rest," said Angelina, glancing at Alex and then looking away again."Can you all get out and leave me alone with Angelina?" Not caring about Angelina who kicked him out, Alex just asked everyone to come out. And that made Angelina gasp."I asked you to come out, why are you kicking everyone out, Alex?" protested Angelina."If you don't want to talk in front of everyone, then let everyone out. Let's talk alone," Alex said. "I have a lot to talk to you about, and I'm sure you have some things to tell me too, right?" Alex continued."I'm not going to leave you two here alone. The others can go out, but I will accompany Angelina here," said Emily who did not want to leave the two of them
"Angelina, please don't be like this. Don't do this, you can't be like this, stop, Angelina!" Emily shrieked at the sight of Angelina who was on a rampage, throwing everything that was attached to her. The girl had reached the peak of patience, now she was desperate."Go, Emily, get out of my way, just let me die. I've lost my baby. I've lost the life I longed for, everything has perished, and even happiness has left me. Suffering after suffering keeps coming and going, I'm tired, and I can't take it anymore. I want to see Mum and William, let me follow them to God's side!" Angelina was ranting and raging uncontrollably. But because Angelina's body was still weak, Emily had little trouble dealing with her best friend."Don't ever say that, Angelina, don't be stupid! Happiness doesn't leave you, it's just that it will come at the right time, believe me. If you believe in God then believe that God will give you what you need!" Emily spoke in a high tone to wake up her best friend."Then
