Audi chuckled, responding to her husband's intuition as if it were just a joke."Who would dare to kidnap a tough and wise man like Zeyn? No one can outsmart that man, quite the opposite. Zeyn would be the one setting traps for them."Audi was very confident in her statement. She then refocused on enjoying every bite of the food laid out in front of her."Are you going to keep thinking about tough guys like Zeyn? Should we go after him to the village tomorrow?"Audi suggested.Quickly, Xavier shook his head."You're still sick. I can't let you go anywhere. It seems I have to listen to you."Audi nodded. "I believe Zeyn will be fine. There's nothing to worry about."Audi smiled so wide."Come on, let's eat together. There's too much food, I can't finish it all by myself."Audi opened some other food boxes, spreading them out on the tray.Not long after, there was a knock on the door of their room, the sound coming from people bringing Xavier's order of a bed."Just put it over here." X
"Well then. I'm off to work now," Billy bid farewell to the woman. Of course, Keysa immediately saw him off."Take care. Don't come home too late. I'm afraid to be alone in the room."Billy nodded, gently pulling the woman's bent body to kiss her forehead for a long time, as if they had officially become husband and wife."Bye!" Keysa waved her hand.Without shame, she waited until the man's car drove away from the apartment yard."What's with the stares? Is it the first time you've seen a man leave for work?" Keysa looked scornful at every other resident of the apartment who was looking at her.The woman then hurried back into her apartment, taking her phone to send a message to someone whose contact was not named by Keysa.[I'll be there soon. Just wait]Once sent, Keysa put the phone in her shoulder bag and hurried off before she was declared late by the message sender."I have to go there right away. Hopefully, the taxi I ordered has arrived outside."Keysa walked out of her room
Billy pinched his nose.It's hard to breathe amidst all this clutter in such a cramped and filthy space.Occasionally, the man seemed to shiver. His typical neatness made him feel uneasy every time he was there."Ah, sir. I apologize. I can't offer you a proper welcome. Hm... just wait a moment, I'll find you a better place."Mike raised both hands, asking the man to wait for him before returning.Billy just nodded, with no hope in sight.Look, the dingy place showed no signs of any spot that could make Billy feel comfortable."You can sit on this, sir!"Mike came with his own wooden chair.Billy glanced at it briefly, finding Mike's makeshift chair much worse than the dusty one nearby."I can stand. I just need information from you, then I'll leave."Mike still insisted that the man sit in the provided seat. But quickly, Billy declined the offer."I don't like being forced."Mike, hearing that, couldn't do anything but use the wooden chair he had offered earlier to the man in front o
"That's enough, Mom. The food here isn't good at all. I just don't have the appetite to eat."The second day at the hospital seemed to make Audi lazy.If last night shortly after the incident where she had an accident Audi seemed fine, now it's the opposite.Audi feels like her whole body is crushed as if all the bones in her body have become brittle."They said I was strong. Mom, you weren't even allowed to be here until earlier.""Yesterday I felt fine, Mom. But, I don't know why now it feels the opposite. Hua .."Audi wanted to move her entire body but not even a little bit of her body could be moved at all."That's how it is, dear. At first, you may not feel the pain. But, gradually it will start to hurt."Now Audi can only lament her fate.She has to lose her active life and spend all her time on that boring bed."Excuse me!"Nurse Ina—the nurse chosen by Xavier to be Audi's personal nurse—entered her patient's room with a cart full of medicine."Has the patient had breakfast?" s
"Since when have you been here?"Xavier asked, resembling a police commander interrogating the suspect before him.However, Billy, accustomed to Xavier's demeanor, remained unfazed by the man's behavior."Just now. I only came to visit and check on Audi's current condition. That's all."Xavier rolled his eyes as if not believing the words coming out of the man's mouth."Well, of course you came to visit. If you came to mess with my wife, be prepared to lose your head."Audi shook his head, attempting to stop the man, but his efforts were futile as his entire body still couldn't move."Bro, that's enough, no need to escalate this further. Billy wouldn't do anything like that to me."Billy nodded in agreement with the woman's statement."Still. You shouldn't linger here when you know we're alone. Haven't you forgotten? If Audi is now my wife! Mine!"Xavier emphasized his statement.Listening to the argument, Audi could only close her eyes.For some reason, the man always seemed sensitiv
Throughout the day, after Billy's departure from his apartment, Keysa's mind has been increasingly unsettled.There are so many suspicions and presumptions swirling around in her head. She truly doesn't know what Billy's real reason is.He shouldn't have left her like that.Is there something wrong with her? That made him seem to choose to distance himself from her?If so, what actually caused him to act like that?"Does he know something I'm hiding? Is that why he seems so upset and angry with me?" Keysa pondered in her heart.The woman fell silent for a moment. Trying to think of what could possibly make Billy so furious with her.She thought about it for quite a while. Suddenly, her eyes widened in realization.Her memory suddenly focused on one thing."No! That couldn't have happened. It's all a secret and will always remain so. He couldn't possibly know." Keysa shook her head several times.Trying to dispel all the negative thoughts that had taken root in her mind."Maybe I shoul
"Keysa!"Keysa suddenly froze in place, as if not unfamiliar with hearing the voice that had just sounded so softly in her ears.She turned around, searching for the owner of that voice. Her eyes widened instantly when she spotted the man with his stern jaw walking towards her."Billy?" Keysa muttered to herself.With difficulty, she tried to swallow her saliva. Her eyes blinked repeatedly, hoping for a change with each blink."What are you doing here? And who is this person?"Billy, who obviously knew Mike, acted as if he didn't recognize him. Mike, who had been bribed by Billy in the past to keep quiet, also played his part.Keysa's behavior began to become erratic. She was confused about how to explain everything."He? I...""Explain everything! Or I'll never want to see you again."Upon hearing that, Keysa's eyes widened instantly. She couldn't bear to lose her love."No! Don't do that, Billy. I've tied everything with you."Billy seemed indifferent. He wanted to see how much cour
"Sweetheart?"Audi turned towards the source of the voice, finding her husband who had just come out of the bathroom."I'm really bored, Xavier! Can we just go home?" Audi put on her puppy eyes, pleading with the man.In her heart, she certainly hoped her husband would grant her request."Are you really feeling better? The doctor hasn't even given us any updates on your condition. Are you sure you're not feeling sick anymore?"Audi nodded confidently. "Not at all."With full confidence, Audi replied."I actually feel like I won't get better quickly if we stay here. The more we move and sweat, the faster we'll recover, Xavi."Upon hearing the words coming from the woman's mouth, Xavier furrowed his brow.Is that really true? Which research says so? Xavier pondered in his mind."Alright, I'll talk to the doctor first. I don't want to take any risks. I just don't want anything to happen to you, Dii. I don't want my love to endure pain for too long."Audi understood the concern reflected
