Alice could only nod.
After finishing the meal that was full of sweat and effort, they finally got into Jordi's sports car. The distance from that place to Jordi's apartment was indeed closer than having to go to Alice's house first."My stomach is a bit upset," said Jordi while holding his stomach.
"Take a deep breath ... exhale." Alice tried to calm the turmoil in Jordi's stomach.
"Ouch ... later I'll just run away. Valet parking at the apartment."
"Okay."
Jordi drove like a madman. He swerved here and there, causing many cars and motorcycles to honk at Jordi's car.
Not long after, they finally arrived at the apartment lobby. Jordi immediately handed his car keys to the valet and pulled Alice's hand to quickly head to the elevator.
Jordi couldn't take it anymore. Fortunately, the elevator he wanted to use was cooperative. Jordi entered the elevator with Alice, constantly holding his stomach. Meanwhile, Alice was very wo
"It seems your child has a bowel infection. We will check it."Norita nodded resignedly, the most important thing was that Jordi would recover soon. She kept holding Jordi's hand, which was already very cold.The doctor and nurse immediately gave Jordi an IV and administered painkillers to alleviate his pain.After being given a pain killer, Jordi was able to calm down. He didn't feel much pain anymore.The nurse escorted Jordi for a blood test and ultrasound to check the problem in Jordi's abdomen.Meanwhile, Alice has already gone home. Sad? Of course, Alice is very sad. But more precisely, Alice is very worried about Jordi's condition. Is Jordi okay? She really wanted to contact Jordi, but she didn't dare. However, Norita has already said that Alice should not be near Jordi.Does this mean that Alice and Jordi's romance is coming to an end? Should Alice give up?Knock! Knock! Knock!The sound of knocking on the door at her h
Alice was so shocked by what Nino had done. She tried to wake Nino up from the floor, but Nino insisted."Wake up, Nino!""I won't get up until you tell me what happened!" Nino insisted."Nothing happened. I realized it myself.""Has anyone ever told you about the difference between the rich and the poor?" Nino looked intently into Alice's eyes.Nino looked intently into Alice's eyes. With great reluctance, Alice nodded."Who?""Jordi's mom."Nino was astonished. The problem with Jordi is why he is the one affected? Jordi's mother made Alice insecure about the difference in social strata. Really... Nino is very upset with Jordi's mom."Come on, get up, No." Alice felt very bad about Nino's treatment. Too good for her.That woman felt she was being very cruel to Nino.Nino immediately sat back down on the sofa and looked into Alice's eyes."What happened to Jordi's mom? Why could she say something mea
Nino stared at Alice with a very sharp gaze. Alice's rejection. It felt very painful in Nino's heart.Alice brought up Nino's parents in this conversation. But why can Alice say that Nino's parents do not agree with her? What happened? Because all the family members looked just fine. There was no conversation at all."What do you mean, Alice?" Why don't my parents agree with you?"Nino hoped for an explanation from Alice."Alice is confused. Didn't Aunt Ratna say anything to Nino about making Alice break up with her son? Does it really have to be Alice who says it?Actually, in the past month, Alice hasn't been communicating much with Nino, like usual. Alice also rarely replies to Nino's messages or calls. Alice thought Nino should have distanced himself because Ratna must have told him. But now, Alice is confused by herself.There is indeed a sense of guilt for having given her crown to Jordi. But what can be done? The
Jordi was already slumped and weak, he had been diagnosed with a bowel infection. Nausea, vomiting, and inability to eat made Jordi hardly move at all. His head is also very dizzy."Jor ... how are you doing now?" asked Hana, who was very worried. She had been waiting for Jordi at the hospital all night."Why didn't you go home? Where's Mom?"Aunt Norita is going home to get a change of clothes.""Where's my phone?""Ah ... you left your phone at the apartment."Jordi was already tired of talking to Hana. He just turned his face away and didn't want to look at Hana."Do you want to eat?" Hana offered, looking patient as she took care of the sick Jordi.Hana wants to prove to Jordi that she can be a caring person and take care of him when he's sick. Not only Alice. Hana can do it too. In fact, Hana can do it better than Alice."No. You go home. I can handle it here by myself." Jordi kept turning his face away and didn't w
Jordi immediately took Alice's hand and pulled her closer to him."I feel better when you're by my side." Jordi kissed Alice's hand."Oh my ... even when you're sick, you can still be cheesy," Alice teased with a chuckle."I'm not joking. I'm very serious.""What did the doctor say?" Alice looked at Jordi with great concern."Intestinal infection," Jordi whispered."Forgive me, Jor." Alice regrets."I can't just forgive you like that." Jordi pretended to be hard to get."Ah ... don't be like that. I feel really guilty.""Okay, I forgive you. But there are conditions.""What?""Kiss me first. Then I'll forgive you." Jordi whined like a child."Oh come on." Allice was in a sarcastic mode. She thought the conditions were harsh. She only knew about Jordi's lewdness. Severe."Please. I miss you so much.""Oh my gosh. We haven't seen each other for just a few hours and you're already missing
Alice widened her eyes. It turns out this isn't over yet. He immediately went to the cafeteria, waiting for Norita there.Fifteen minutes later, Norita was already in front of Alice. She sat gracefully and stared at Alice very sharply."I'll get straight to the point with you."Norita no longer wanted to beat around the bush with Alice. She didn't want to waste her time on a girl like Alice.Alice listened. She already knew she would definitely be scolded again by Norita for being near Jordi."I already told you that you can't be near Jordi! Are you deaf?" Norita sneered."I was just ...""What?" You want to take advantage of Jordi being sick? Jordi is sick because of you!" Norita asserted."I'm sorry, Aunt." Alice lowered her head."Because you always teach Jordi to eat dirty food!" Norita insulted again."I'm sorry, Aunt." There were no other words Alice could say to Norita. Just sorry."I hope this is my
"Ugh ... so cheesy." Alice chuckled."I love you, Alice." Jordi pulled Alice's hand with all the strength he had left, causing Alice to fall on top of Jordi's body."Ish ... you're being lewd!" she protested while lightly hitting Jordi's broad chest."Kiss me, please." Jordi gazed into Alice's beautiful eyes, smiling with pure happiness."My mom will come later," Alice refused.Alice's bedroom door and window were not closed. Therefore, it was possible for anyone to see them. Alice doesn't want that to happen. Especially if Ranti sees them. It could be dangerous, and Alice would be lectured thoroughly for getting too close to Jordi."Wait. I need some extra energy," Jordi coaxed while tightly holding Alice, who was on top of him."Just a moment, okay? After that ... let me go.""Okay."Alice lowered her face and then kissed Jordi's lips. Just for a moment. But Jordi already had bad intentions, so the man held Alice's nec
"Jordi prefers that rotten girl over me!" Norita shouted in disbelief."Be patient, Nori. Don't waste things like that!" Alexander embraced his wife. He hoped to calm the woman who had always been by his side."How can I be patient, Alex? Jordi prefers to go to Alice's rather than his own mother's choice!" Norita couldn't accept it. Her body trembled with emotion and tears."Be patient, Honey. Be patient. Don't get too emotional. Try to tell me slowly, what is going on."Alexander guided Norita's hand towards the sofa. He was afraid Norita would step on the broken pieces of items scattered on the floor."So what's wrong with Jordi, Honey?" Alex stared intently at his wife's eyes."Jordi, he doesn't want to get engaged to Hana." Norita began to calm herself down."What is the reason?""Because he prefers to be with Alice. He ended his relationship with Hana, even though the engagement date was approaching."Alex wiped the
"No ... I don't want to." Alice refused."What's the reason?""Well, what's the point of getting married just because there's a child involved? Can't we do co-parenting? You don't have to live under the same roof.""That's really strange. I want to take responsibility, but you reject it."Suddenly, Alice chuckled to herself."Why?""You used to say that.""So, is your answer still the same?""Yeah.""You're really something, Alice." Jordi scoffed."It's already ingrained. Hard to change. Never mind ... I want to go inside the house first. Later, Luke and mom will be confused because I've been outside with you for too long.""Al ... wait a moment." Jordi pulled Alice's hand so that the woman didn't get out of Jordi's car."Why?""Can I do something?""What?""I want to try kissing you.""Wow, what's the point?" protested Alice, immediately covering her mouth with both hands
"Jordi! No! You have no right to take Luke from me! Luke is my child! Only mine, not yours!" Alice insisted."But it also has my seed that produced Luke! You're not an amoeba that splits itself to reproduce! Clearly, Luke is my child!" Jordi replied, not accepting it."Jordi ..." Alice interjected weakly.Alice knows Jordi's nature very well, which probably hasn't changed until now. Jordi cannot be scolded; he must be told gently.Jordi fell silent for a moment. Alice's face, which looked almost like she was about to cry, made him realize he had shouted at the mother of his child."Please ... don't be like that. I'm begging you." Alice pleaded with a hoarse voice."Okay. But tell me what happened! How did we end up like this?" Jordi replied softly. He no longer raised his voice.Alice took a deep breath."Yes, Luke is indeed your child. You are right. I am not an Amoeba either." Alice whispered, finally having to tell the truth
Jordi immediately got out of his car. With trembling hands and trying to calm himself, he pressed the doorbell in front of Alice's house.Ding Dong!Jordi stood silently in front of Alice's house. His legs were like jelly, weak with the reality he might have to face.CLICK!"Jo-jordi!" Alice's eyes widened. She was really very confused right now. Why does Jordi know her house?"Alice ..." Jordi said weakly."How did you get here?""Uhm ... may I come in?""No ... let's talk outside."Alice pushed Jordi away from her front door and immediately closed it."Why? Am I not allowed to enter your house?" Jordi said softly."Don't. My husband will be upset if he sees you.""Husband? Where is your husband? Please introduce me to him.""What's the point, Jor? Forget it ... just go to your own home.""No! I came here to find something.""What are you looking for?""I...""What you're looking for isn't in my house!" Alice said firmly, very protective."Why? What do you know about what I'm looking
"Does she already have children?" Jordi was very curious. For the past five years, he really hasn't heard from any of his friends. His life is only focused on work and Anita."Hmm ... it seems like Alice's child is a boy. Should I just buy a gift?"He didn't want to think too long. He immediately left the Fleko office and went to the shopping mall. He entered the toy store."Hmm ... how old is that child? Four years or three years, I wonder?" Jordi wondered to himself."Well, whatever, I'll just buy him a toy car and a water gun so he can play. Just consider it a gift from your uncle. Hehe ... " chuckled Jordi to himself as he looked at the toy that he thought was nice and interesting for Alice's child, who should have been a boy."Can I play with Alice's child? Maybe it will be fun. Uhm ... her husband? Is he allowed? But, isn't it that a friend can't invite their friend's child to play? No way ... of course, it's fine to play with Alice's husband
"It turns out he is still alive.""HAH!"Ranti was really surprised by what Alice said."I'm just as surprised as you, Mom.""How did you find out?""Jordi's company is a client at my company. And ... the project I've been working on until overtime since yesterday is Jordi's.""Don't you know about him?" Ranti couldn't fathom the very frightening coincidence.It was like a nightmare to get involved with Jordi again. Especially with Norita, who was so terrifying. Making Ranti and Alice's life in Jakarta for two weeks even more terrifying.Norita's henchman went crazy inside Alice's house. So, Alice and Ranti's departure to Australia was expedited. Fortunately, Nathan helped both of them escape Norita's grip."No, Mom. The company seems kind of closed off like that. So, I have no idea who the owner of the company is.""So what happened next? What did he say to you, Al?" Ranti was curious."He has amnesia, Mom
Alice just wanted to cry upon hearing Jordi's words. The woman actually misses Jordi very much. In fact, almost every night she and Luke pray for Jordi to be happy in heaven. But, it turns out Jordi is still in the world. What a strange prayer when she thinks back on it."I ... I don't know," Alice replied hesitantly."Didn't I tell you?"Alice shook her head."It's better if you contact a psychologist or psychiatrist. Who knows, they might be able to help you.""You are just like Anita. Telling me to see a doctor.""Well, you do need help. Why refuse it?""I feel ... if I meet her, then this illness of mine could be cured.""I don't know, I can't help you, Jordi. It's better if you see a doctor so you won't think about the past anymore. Anyway, you have to live your new life. Starting a family with Anita. Your children will definitely be handsome and beautiful. Like you and Anita.""Of course. I have really good genes."
"Can't count anymore. Too many until I got dizzy."Jordi chuckled to himself upon hearing Alice's words."So, who do I love the most?""I don't know. You're the one in charge, why would I ask something like that?" protested Alice. "That's such an unreasonable question.""Don't be like that. It's just that the person is having memory loss and trying to regain their memory." That's why he asks strange questions."Yeah, you're weird. You already have a fiancée who is definitely beautiful and smart, why do you even need to ask about the past? Not interesting at all.""Anita is indeed beautiful and smart.""Look, she's the perfect woman. She suits you better than the mediocre taste you had before."Jordi laughed heartily.It feels like this is the first time Jordi can laugh so happily in the past five years, which have been filled with stress and pressure."Was my taste really that bad before?""Indeed, y
Alice took a deep breath. "Okay, lunch.""That's the great."Jordi smiled at Alice because he could win."I'll leave first. I have work to do.""Alright, I'll wait for you in the lobby this afternoon."Alice nodded and immediately left Jordi alone in the meeting room.When Nathan saw that Alice had left the meeting room, he immediately approached her."Alice, to my office for a moment."Alice nodded and followed Nathan from behind."What's wrong, Sir?" Alice asked as she entered Nathan's office."Jordi? The person from the past that you mourn? Whom you thought had died?""Ssh ... don't be too loud, Sir!" Alice pleaded."Ok, so he's Luke's daddy?"Alice nodded slowly."Then, why did he come here?""He... didn't I tell you that Jordi had an accident and died?""Okay, then why is he still alive?" Nathan wondered to himself."Well, that's what was driving me half crazy
Jordi waved his hand at Alice."Al, do you know him?" Valencia asked Alice."Y-yes.""Everyone, this is Mr. Jordi from Miracle Compay. He is the owner and CEO." Valencia introduced him to everyone.Alice's heart raced even more."Let's sit down first." Nathan guided Alice's hand because he felt Alice was really stiff now.Jordi kept watching what was happening with Alice. For some reason, his eyes couldn't move away from Alice, who was very shocked by his arrival."Al, can you present?""asked Nathan.Frankly, Alice was blank. She is confused by what she is facing now. Even Jordi said "long time no see" to him. Truly, it's confusing."Sir, could you please be the one to present? I ... I'm blank." Alice pleaded."Okay. I'll take over for you."Nathan then began to present what Alice had created in the PowerPoint in front of everyone in the meeting room.Jordi nodded slowly in agreement with what the Fl
