"Sorry."Ethan said that one word, which held so many implicit meanings.Only certain people, especially Citra, would understand all the meanings contained in that short word."Why are you here? Aren't you with your girlfriend?" Citra asked, frowning in annoyance.She then folded her arms across her chest, rolling her eyes lazily."Girlfriend? You mean Leona? The woman who met you earlier at the booth...""Enough, stop. Don't talk anymore if you just want to show off about your relationship with that woman. Without you explaining in more detail, I already know that you've been in a relationship with her."Citra folded her arms across her chest, averting her gaze elsewhere.She didn't want to look at Ethan's eyes at all.Just as Ethan took a seat next to her, Citra immediately shifted her position almost to the very edge."Stay where you are or I'll leave," Citra said, making Ethan instantly turn into a statue.He didn't want to take any further risks.A long sigh escaped Ethan's mouth
Ethan immediately sped up his car to a high speed. He really didn't know what else to do at this point.His mind felt truly chaotic. Thinking about what had happened to the woman who had previously gone with him.At first, the man thought everything would be fine. However, suddenly Mr. Leo sent him a message about what had happened to Leona.The man said that his niece was now being rushed to a hospital, he said someone saw Leona get hit by a car."You should have been able to take good care of my niece, Mr. Ethan. So, how is she now, Mr. Ethan? You should have just said if you didn't want to be with her, I would have accompanied her earlier."Those were the words that came out of Mr. Leo's mouth when the phone connection was established with the man.The man's thoughts were really in turmoil right now, he couldn't think clearly anymore."What happened?! How could all this happen?! What should I do now, I've really made a big mistake. Mr. Leo must be furious with me right now."Ethan
Ethan and Mr. Leo's attention was visibly drawn to the doctor who came out with his nurse."You go ahead and take care of it first," said the doctor, giving orders to the nurse behind him, before finally turning his focus to the two anxious-looking men.A sweet smile appeared perfectly at the corner of Robi's lips. After all, he had to be able to calm and ease the tense atmosphere that had built up at that time."How is my niece's condition, doc? Is she okay? Nothing serious happened to her, right? How is she doing?"The barrage of questions expressing his concern came from the man's mouth. A warm smile appeared to calm the worries of the two men."Calm down, sir. We will certainly do our best to treat the patient. You don't need to feel overly worried because the bleeding that occurred could be quickly stopped and handled thanks to the patient being brought in faster. If it had been too late to bring her here, I'm not sure if we could have saved the patient's life or not," said Docto
Amel arrived at the hospital, asking the staff where the room containing the patient who had just been admitted was located.A long sigh escaped the woman's mouth as she turned her gaze elsewhere.She vaguely thought she saw a man who looked familiar in her sight, and quickly abandoned her intention, even though the nurse had clearly been about to say something to her."Miss! Miss!" called the nurse, but Amel clearly ignored her.The woman continued walking, approaching a man who appeared to have just ended a phone call.He seemed to have just contacted someone and ended the call while carrying several plastic bags containing food."Excuse me! I'm sorry, sir. You... know my brother, don't you?"Amel immediately stopped the man, noticing that he appeared much older than Ethan, her brother.The woman still recognized that face; she had been told about him by Ethan, but she forgot the person's name.A long sigh escaped Amel's mouth as she then took a deep breath, trying to regulate her b
Citra glared at the man who was right in front of her. The woman had repeatedly stated that she would never want to go with him, but Martin was forcing her to go."I don't want to go with you. I beg you to leave here now. I don't want to see you here at all. Please, leave my place right now. I want to rest. Please, don't force me to go with you."Citra took a deep breath, trying to hold back the emotions that were about to erupt from within her.It was clear how the woman clenched her fist as if ready to give Martin a raw punch right now.She was really sick of the man's presence who didn't listen to her at all."No, Citra. I will never leave here before you agree to come with me. Come on, no need to play hard to get. Don't worry, I won't take you to a place like before. I just want to invite you for dinner together. Please," the man kept persuading her.It was visible how Martin was also not being stubborn and rude as usual towards her, he seemed like a new person Citra had met.Howe
"You two go home. I'll wait here." Leo, who had seen the look on Ethan's face that seemed to have so many thoughts, also felt sorry at last. He knew that the man must be having uneasy feelings considering that earlier, he had also heard a faint conversation from Ethan and Amel saying that the woman who might have been loved by the man was in need of his help. However, it seemed that Ethan did not decide to leave because he was thinking about Leona's current situation. "Mr. Ethan.." called Leo which only brought Ethan to his senses after a short time when the man's hand reached out, touching the man's shoulder.Ethan blinked his eyes a few times, turning his gaze towards the man who was currently staring at him, a smile on the corner of his lips. "No, no. I'll stay here, wait until Miss Leona regains consciousness, Mr. Leo."Hearing that, Leo visibly sighed, shaking his head as he knew that the man did not fully agree with the decision made by himself. "That's it, don't think abo
It was evident how the medical staff began examining the condition of the woman.Extremely tense expressions were clearly visible on the faces of everyone present there."Why did she end up like that, Bro? Will she be okay?" asked Amel, who looked anxious seeing the condition of the woman who was now even convulsing.The woman's gaze appeared pitiful as she observed Leona's condition while she was being treated by the medical staff.She tried not to think negatively at this time."It's okay. Don't worry. Everything will get better. This could happen anytime because Miss Leona's condition hasn't fully recovered yet," said Ethan, trying to calm the woman.It was visible how Ethan stretched out his hand, placing his palm right on top of his sister's head, kissing her forehead for quite a while while harboring a deep feeling of concern for her.A rather long sigh escaped from Ethan's mouth; honestly, he also felt worried about what was happening to Leona at the moment.The woman was clear
Citra stared at the man now standing before her. Her hands were visibly gripping the edge of the dress she was wearing tightly. She tried to control herself so she wouldn't act rashly and cause a scene she couldn't handle."You look very beautiful in that dress I chose for you, Citra."Hearing those words come out of the man's mouth instantly made Citra clench her fist tightly. She suddenly realized why earlier, when she had protested to her mother, the older woman had just remained silent without responding. It was all clear now from what Citra was hearing. Apparently, the one who had been overly demanding and caused the chaos that required her to get all dressed up wasn't Madam Merry's orders, but rather it was all the doing of the despicable man standing in front of her now.Citra felt disgusted. She felt so angry with the man in front of her. That man truly made her nauseous. She wanted so badly to hit and beat up that man, but what could she do - she couldn't do anything that mi
