Chapter 201
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone at that time. I truly apologize," said Ethan, pleading with the woman.Leona smiled bitterly, knowing that the man didn't want to respond to her statement at the moment.She could only smile, looking intently at the man."So, you're avoiding it," Leona said, clearly taking a jab at the man.Ethan remained silent. He deliberately chose not to respond to Leona's question about himself, or more specifically, the relationship between Ethan and Citra.The man felt that what Leona was asking belonged to a private realm that she shouldn't be questioning.Realizing that Ethan didn't want to discuss it, Leona finally decided not to bring up the topic again.It seemed better that they didn't broach that subject."What actually happened at that time? Do you still remember everything? Why did you leave when I asked you to wait for a moment, Miss?" asked Ethan, who was honestly curious about what had really occurred then.He had no idea about the problem

Citra remained silent, seeing all the wounds her mother had now received.You could say it was like a bruise. She had no idea this would happen."What's going on, Mom? What happened? How did you get wounds like this?" asked Citra, not understanding at all how her mother could have gotten all those injuries.Mrs. Merry was seen shaking her head, as if telling Citra not to worry about what had happened to her.However, of course that woman would not just stay quiet.She kept pressing Mrs. Merry to tell her everything that had happened. She couldn't possibly let Mrs. Merry endure her injuries like that.She would ask Mrs. Merry to tell her everything. The woman was not allowed to hide anything from her anymore.A long sigh escaped Mrs. Merry's mouth. Of course, she was reluctant to tell her daughter everything because she didn't want Citra to worry too much about what had happened to her."No. There's nothing for you to worry about regarding these wounds, Citra. These are just ordinary i

Ethan pushed the wheelchair containing a woman whose face was still covered with many bandages.The woman seemed to be forcing herself, leaving Ethan with no other choice.The doctor was also forced by the woman because she felt extremely bored in her room."You shouldn't be doing this, Miss Leona," said Ethan, causing the woman to shake her head.Her neck was still too sore to turn at that moment, making the woman only shake her head slightly without shifting her gaze towards Ethan."Where do you want to go?" asked Ethan, who didn't know where to take the woman.A rather long sigh escaped Ethan's mouth; the man seemed to feel burdened about taking the woman out like this.He was just afraid that something unwanted might suddenly happen to the woman. Therefore, he became hesitant to take Leona out with him like this."Let's go anywhere. The most important thing is that I can now breathe fresh air from outside. I'm really so bored with that hospital room. It's full of medicinal smells

Leona felt bored. She could see how Ethan's facial expressions changed as he spoke on the phone.Judging from his way of speaking and the wide smile at the corner of Ethan's lips, Leona understood that the woman currently calling Ethan was someone very important to him.A long sigh escaped Leona's mouth. She could only stare at the man who was busy talking, even though almost 20 minutes had passed.By now, the two portions of fries Leona had bought were completely gone, indicating how long the man's phone call had lasted."They're probably planning to meet. I won't let them meet. Just watch what I'll do to make sure they don't end up meeting," Leona muttered to herself.She would do anything to make Ethan and Citra grow apart because if she wanted to enter their relationship, she had to wedge herself between them.Just watch, Leona wouldn't let them get any closer."I apologize, Miss Leona. I lost track of time. You must have been bored because I left you alone for too long. Is everyt

After getting confirmation from Amel, the man quickly left without saying goodbye to Leona first.He wanted to go home to his apartment first, shower and change clothes. Ethan couldn't possibly meet Citra looking disheveled like a lost person.Of course, he would fix himself up and make sure Citra wouldn't feel embarrassed when seen walking with him."That lovesick fool," Amel muttered, just shaking her head as she watched him.The woman then entered Leona's hospital room. She could see Leona also looking at her.Amel, feeling awkward because she had never spoken to the woman before, could only scratch her nape awkwardly, flashing a warm smile to greet the woman."Hi! I'm Amel. I'm... Ethan's sister," Amel introduced herself first.The woman nodded, returning the smile Amel gave her.It was visible how Amel chose to put her college bag down first on the empty sofa, with no one or anything else there.Her footsteps then walked back, approaching the woman who was on her hospital bed.Sh

Slowly, the embrace between the man and woman began to loosen.Ethan was seen gazing intently at the woman."Are you okay?" Ethan asked, looking closely at the woman.Citra nodded her head, still with remnants of sobs escaping from her mouth.She seemed to be trying hard to control her tears, not wanting to appear still immersed in her crying."Have a drink first, okay?"Ethan offered his drink to the woman, a glass of cold lemon tea that he had made especially for Citra, knowing that she was a lemon tea lover.A sweet smile now perfectly adorned the corner of Ethan's lips as he gazed fully at the woman."Feeling better now? Now tell me. What has made you like this? What have they done, hm?" Ethan asked, causing the woman to fall silent for a moment as she recalled what had happened between her and Martin.The man had once again threatened her with a recording that Citra had almost forgotten about.She had almost exposed what she had been trying to hide all this time.Citra was seen c

Time flew by so quickly, causing Ethan and Citra's relationship to improve significantly.They continued communicating through their cell phones.Ethan even felt much better now that his relationship with Citra was going so well.At this moment, Ethan was gazing at the sofa where he had spent a lot of time with Citra last night.Ethan continued to feel a happiness that couldn't be described in words. He imagined how he could live together with Citra, filled with such joy."It feels so much more peaceful when I can live with Citra in a good situation like this. I can't deny these feelings anymore. I've truly fallen for that woman. I even feel much better now."Ethan muttered in his heart, feeling his heart beating faster as time passed.He couldn't hide the joyful feelings within himself any longer.Remembering everything that had happened between him and Citra, it was impossible to forget.Buzz! Buzz!As Ethan was looking at his reflection in the tall mirror in his apartment bedroom,

Citra let out a long sigh, then turned her gaze away. Suddenly, she found Martin standing right in front of her."Remember! Don't mess with me. Or you'll lose everything," Martin threatened the woman.Citra felt like she wanted to counterattack the man.However, all of that turned out to be something Citra could only do in her imagination.In reality, the man did not let Citra succeed in doing what she intended to do.It was clear how Martin did not want Citra to resist him like what had happened back then."I'm also not interested in fighting someone like you," said Citra, making Martin smile crookedly. He understood how the woman was trying to hold back her feelings.But at least now Martin was much luckier because the woman could not put up any resistance at all.This was clear from what happened, where Citra could only remain silent, unlike usual when she would hit Martin with various sharp remarks."I told you, you won't be able to say anything anymore now. All of this is much b

Citra stared at the woman who had caught her. She struggled to swallow her saliva as she saw Mrs. Merry now looking at her with a blank expression."Were you trying to contact someone?" asked Mrs. Merry, making Citra try to think of what she should say to the middle-aged woman.Although Mrs. Merry seemed very nice to her now, quite different from the woman a while ago.However, Citra would not tell her about her closeness with Ethan."Uh... yes... I was trying to contact Nike. I... think I want to stay at her apartment today. I need a change of scenery," said Citra, making the woman nod her head.Although there was a strange feeling because the woman's face looked tense, Mrs. Merry eventually ignored it."If there's anything bothering you, just tell Mom everything, okay? Mom also didn't know anything about this rushed wedding. Mom was also shocked to hear that they had prepared this event," said Mrs. Merry, making the woman nod her head.She didn't mind at all what was happening at th

Mahira now seemed to be acting more normally when with that woman."You shouldn't have gone to such extremes, Leona. No matter what, if God doesn't destine him for you, you can't force that fate. Look at what happened with my relationship with that jerk," Mahira said, using her own experience as an example."You don't need to think about it anymore. Besides, everything has already happened. The most important thing is that my condition has improved now, right?"Leona assured Mahira that she was truly fine now.A long sigh escaped her mouth, then she shifted her gaze to look straight at Mahira."Are you worried about me? Aww... how romantic!" Leona's teasing was intentional to break the tense atmosphere between them.Laughter could now be heard quite loudly, clearly indicating how both of them were now doing better."When are you going to introduce me to the guy who made you able to move on so quickly, hm? Oh yeah, you still owe me a story. You haven't told me about your impressions fr
