'She went to the hospital to look for me? Really? I didn't hear wrong, did I?'In his mind, Louis wondered. His heart swelled because Emily said she went to look for him, at this late hour of the night. Louis felt like someone special."Ah, I'm off duty so I'm not at the hospital," Louis said."Yes, the nurse told me that. That's why I'm grateful to see you here after I couldn't find you at the hospital," Emily replied.Louis smiled. The man was getting more confident and flowery."If I may ask, why are you looking for me this late, Emily?" Louis asked again."I don't know Oliver's condition yet, since you're the one checking on Oliver's condition, I'd like to know how he's doing, Louis?"Louis suddenly fainted at Emily's question. He thought Emily was looking for him for personal matters. It turned out that for the sake of asking how the man was doing, Emily was even willing to go out when the night was getting late."To be honest he's fine, he's fine, you don't have to worry about h
"Emily, can't you just forget about that bastard? He doesn't think about your feelings at all, you should realize that!""He is a jerk. And yes, I should forget about him. I would have done it a long time ago if I could, but the truth is that I can't do that, I can't forget him," Emily replied in a low and helpless tone."The harder I try to forget him, the stronger the love for him becomes. I don't know, I don't understand what happened to me and my heart," Emily continued."I should have hated him after everything that happened, but in reality I still loved him, and my love never waned. I hate my stupid self. I hate my weak self. And I hate myself for not being able to prevent that love from growing. I hate it!" Emily thumped her chest, which instantly felt tight.Talking about Oliver made Emily's chest very tight.Louis grabbed both of Emily's hands to stop her from beating herself up again."Don't hurt yourself, Emily, don't punish yourself. Don't blame yourself either, it's not y
"Drop me off here. You can just drop me off here, Louis," Emily pleaded as they reached the doorstep of Emily's apartment."Are you sure you can walk on your own?" asked Louis who was still unwilling to drop the email from her arms."Louis, I'm sure I can walk in by myself. Besides, if you walk me to my room then who's going to lock the door?" replied Emily who was starting to lose her temper.Louis nodded in agreement with Emily's statement."Fine, then I'll walk you all the way here," Louis finally said.Louis lowered Emily from his arms and helped the girl stand up properly."Thanks for dropping me off, I'm going in, be careful driving," Emily said, her hands busy unlocking the door and then opening it slightly."Come in," Louis said asking the girl to get in first before he left.Not protesting much, Emily soon stepped slowly into his apartment."Emily," Louis called softly."Yes?""Good night," those two words came out of Louis' mouth along with a smile.As if hypnotized, Emily s
Angelina and Alex walked hand in hand to Emily's apartment. Angelina brought several piles of rice and side dishes for Emily. Angelina intends to persuade Emily and hopes that this time Emily will talk to her.Angelina and Alex have arrived in front of Emily's apartment. Because the door was not closed, Angelina felt no problem if she walked in. Angelina thought Emily was getting ready to go to work so the door was left open.But both Angelina and Alex were equally surprised when they saw a scene that neither of them could describe.On the sofa, Emily sat with a man at a very close distance. Not only that, the distance between their faces was very close, not far apart, with the position of the man's head slightly tilted.There was only one thing on Alex and Angelina's mind. Emily and the man were kissing.Alex and Angelina both couldn't figure it out, especially since the man was someone they recognised and was very close to them."Alex, should we just go?" Angelina whispered not want
The three people there, compactly turned their heads to look at Emily who had been more silent.Louis didn't expect Emily to ask that. And Louis really wanted to swear at Alex right now, but he controlled himself as much as possible.Angelina noticed Louis' reaction which was of course surprised. But Angelina felt that Louis couldn't possibly lie about his feelings, right?Alex was satisfied that Emily finally attacked Louis with that question. A devilish smile rose on Alex's lips.Alex doesn't want to see his best friend happy, it's just that Alex doesn't want Louis to misinterpret his feelings.It can't be denied, that Alex does care about Emily, the girl who helped him several times and the one who supported his relationship with Angelina. But Alex didn't want to show it openly.To be honest, Alex didn't have the heart to see a girl hurt like that, especially if it was her lover's best friend. But Alex didn't want to do much and didn't want to show too much attitude because he felt
Drtt... Drrtt...Emily's mobile phone rang as she was resting on the sofa. For some reason, all parts of her body felt sore, even though it was only her leg that was sprained. Staying still without doing anything turned out to make the body uncomfortable, it actually felt very tiring."Hello." Emily greeted the caller."Hello, Emily, what are you doing?" asked the caller on the other side."I was watching television earlier, but I think I overslept," Emily replied."Did I disturb your sleep, Emily?""No problem, you didn't disturb me, Lou," Emily replied.Yes, the caller was Louis."You still had time to call me, aren't you busy?" Emily asked."I'm calling you because it's lunchtime, and yes, actually I am busy so I wanted to tell you that I can't come to your apartment to join you for lunch, do you mind if I don't come?" asked Louis."Not at all, Louis. You should be concerned with your responsibilities at the hospital, I can eat by myself. Besides, Angelina already made the food thi
"He's Alex's best friend, which means he's Angelina's friend too, and I'm Angelina's best friend too. So my relationship with Louis is just limited to that, as friends of friends," Emily explained."Emily, are you hurt? What happened? Why did you hurt your leg?" asked Oliver when he realised Emily's leg was bandaged.Emily was silent for a while. If Emily told the truth, she got hurt while looking for Louis to ask how Oliver was doing, Oliver would definitely get a big head. If Emily didn't tell the truth, she was afraid Oliver wouldn't believe her."Do you want to hide something from me, Emily?" asked Oliver again, further urging Emily to answer."I fell on the shoulder and sprained my ankle. I asked Louis to check my leg, and he agreed to treat me. He was even willing to ask my boss for permission directly so that I could rest a few days at home to recover my leg," Emily explained, not lying but not saying it outright either. Let's hope Oliver believes her."Why didn't you call me?
Emily was silent. She did think about asking Louis to stay away from her so that she wouldn't disappoint Louis if it turned out that she couldn't fall in love with Louis. But that doesn't mean Emily wants to continue her relationship with Oliver who she feels will have no future.Emily indeed loves Oliver, loves him so much that she is willing to suffer alone to see her beloved Oliver feel happy. Because for Emily, love is giving and not forcing to get something in return. So the girl was willing to give anything including letting Oliver be with Angelina, and she was willing to bear the pain herself.However, Emily doesn't think she will be able to continue her relationship with Oliver after the discussion the other day. Oliver did not love her, and they were in bed under the influence of stimulants. It was a double whammy for Emily. Emily was used to bearing the wounds of loving Oliver, but this time the wounds felt very deep and very difficult to heal. Emily did not want bad things
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
