The living room was silent, with two people facing each other."So, how is Dr. Niko doing?" asked Axel.Dr. Niko's wife immediately let out a long sigh, seemingly burdened with many thoughts. She couldn't sit still, visibly squeezing the fabric of her pants. Her foot was moving, tapping repeatedly."I've already told you, even though we've spent a lot of money on my husband's treatment, it won't cure him. There's been no change at all. He's still the same, completely paralyzed, with only his eyeballs moving," she said.Axel intensely studied every contour of the woman's face, feeling that a lie was emanating from that aging visage. The woman in front of him seemed dishonest; just look at her forehead covered in sweat, even though the weather was very cold. It was quite amusing indeed. It wouldn't be Axel if he couldn't read the woman's body language."Is that so, Ma'am?" Axel asked to confirm. He stared intently at the pupils of the woman speaking to him, trying to read the meaning be

125After Axel left Maurer's hospital room, the middle-aged man screamed, he cried. Then, regretting his actions. "Arghhh! Why is my life like this. I regret, is it true what my son Axel said, I'm too bad of a person. And, he regrets being born from my seed. I have nothing now, even I also lost my wife, now my son is staying away from me. Then, what comes after this. It's like grasping the sand so tightly, we won't get anything, the sand will fall away." muttered Maurer, in a hoarse voice. He removed the oxygen device attached to his face. Then, he also removed the IV that was attached to the back of his hand. "Arghhhhh!" He screamed again, his voice echoing throughout the room. "I'm a sinner Lord Jesus, just take my life right now! I'm not accepted by Axel, Axel regrets being my son." she said in a shaky voice, indicating that she was very emotional at the moment. He got off the bed, staring at the sharp fruit cutter on the nightstand. He staggered over to it, then, taking the sh

127 After seeing the CCTV footage in front of him, Aurel decided to meet Axel. He thought that his father's death had something to do with Axel's doctor. With a body that was already very weak, and had no energy. The woman walked slowly, her heart breaking as she remembered her father's last face. The face that usually smiled, praising her beauty, this time was pale and could not open both eyelids back to normal. Aurel couldn't help but feel a great pain, a pain that was in the depths of his heart. His chest was like being hit by a sharp object. however, it did not bleed, it was very painful and heartbreaking. How can it not hurt, if we are abandoned by someone we love but, in such a position. With circumstances that no one else would ever want to go through. Losing his father, losing the most comfortable place in the world. Losing the hand that held his, and held Aurel's small hand as he learned to walk. Aurel stopped his footsteps, he sat limply while hugging his knees in the

129Axel's POV. My hands trembled as I placed the scalpel back on the tray. The knife that always accompanied me while working, I had just finished the toughest autopsy of his life-examining my own father's body. The autopsy room, which usually felt quiet and professional, now felt so unfamiliar and pressured me, it was scary! It wasn't what I was used to. The sharp smell of formaldehyde, which I usually ignore, now pierced my sense of smell and reminded me of the harsh reality I had to face, was I a murderer? Because with that, I killed Maurer with my words, like encouraging him to commit suicide. But, I never thought that she would be this determined. The nurse who helped me, gently covered Maurer's body with a white sheet, giving a little privacy and a final tribute to the deceased. I couldn't hold back the tears that started to fall, now I couldn't hold them back anymore and they were falling non-stop, but, I tried to hide the tears that kept falling, I wiped away the tears, so

131Behind a metal desk adorned with a pile of files that Axel had collected, Axel sat upright facing a police officer who looked at him seriously. Axel handed several sheets of documents to the police officer and placed them on the table slowly. "This is some of the evidence I brought, sir, try to read it carefully." said doctor Axel in a firm but nervous voice. He pointed to the documents one by one. "This is Doctor Niko's curriculum vitae, and this is Amelia Sebastian's curriculum vitae." Doctor Axel said. Meanwhile, the police officer nodded slowly, staring at the documents with full concentration. His eyes surfed over every word printed on the paper. Axel continued, "You can also look for evidence at Den Bosh hospital, the results of the DNA test in 1995, when my mother was defamed by Doctor Niko, he switched the DNA results, and, also Mr. Maurer's fertility results in 1995," His tone was shaky, as he said that, Axel remembered that case, and, remembered his mother's suffering.
