That morning, Ethan was seen waking up next to Leona.It was clear how the woman was still fast asleep, indicating that Leona was still in critical condition.The woman seemed reluctant and unwilling to open her eyes at this time, making Ethan only able to take a deep breath.Ethan then looked at the woman's entire body, which now appeared very stiff. He hoped that the woman would regain consciousness soon.Not long after that, a man who was much older than him was seen walking quickly to meet the woman who was still lying on her bed."I'm sorry. Last night, I had work that I had to finish immediately because some staff made mistakes. I'm very grateful and also sorry for troubling you all," said Leo, who arrived after morning had come.Ethan, who indeed wanted to make amends for his mistakes by taking care of the woman, didn't mind at all being troubled by Leo like that.A warm smile was clearly visible at the corner of his lips."If you want to go home, please do, Mr. Ethan. Let me t
Amel arrived at her campus exactly 5 minutes before class was scheduled to begin. She felt extremely rushed at the moment.Her academic life could be in jeopardy if she didn't make it to class on time.She tried to open her phone to look up which classroom she was supposed to be in today.Unfortunately, it seemed today wasn't Amel's lucky day. She realized she had received a message from her friend Natalia saying she was out sick today.So Amel had no one left to ask which room they were using today."Oh no! Where's my class schedule? How could it just disappear at such a critical moment? I've really lost everything now," Amel thought to herself.She was starting to feel frustrated with everything. Until suddenly, she spotted a man who looked familiar.Her eyes widened when she realized it was Professor Malik, the teacher she had been dreading, walking towards her.She tried to think quickly about how she could avoid looking late while also matching the man's pace so she could figure
Amel really felt bored right now, how could she not when she had to accept the fact that at this moment, she would soon receive punishment not long after this.She had already heard signs that the class led by the professor would be ending soon, clearly indicating that Amel's doom would soon be faced by her.The woman tried to stay calm, she didn't want her thoughts to be carried away by the atmosphere at that time.A rather long sigh came out of her mouth, she struggled to try to control herself so as not to act excessively at this time.She then shifted her gaze to another direction which fortunately was empty, it seemed that this time Professor Malik ended the class earlier than usual when the man taught in class.Gradually, everyone now began to leave the room. There were some kids who recognized Amel and started greeting the woman, but there were also those who just showed indifferent facial expressions.Amel seemed to try not to make an issue of it. She then shook her head tryin
"Let me treat your wound first," said Professor Martin to the woman.However, it was evident now how Amel immediately distanced herself from the man, causing Professor Malik to stare intently at the woman."I didn't mean it like that at all. I'll explain everything to you. But please, let me treat your wound first. Your wound will get infected if left untreated. Listen to me, okay?"Amel, who also couldn't deny that what the man said was indeed true, nodded her head, indicating that she agreed with his words.She extended her injured hand. Amel wasn't a woman who was strong when it came to seeing blood. Therefore, it wasn't surprising that she immediately entrusted this to Professor Malik as she couldn't treat her wound by herself.She indeed needed someone who could help her treat the wound she was currently experiencing.A rather long sigh escaped her mouth, she then averted her gaze elsewhere, not wanting to make eye contact with the man."Ouch..." A soft whimper began to be heard
"Now tell me, what happened to you?" asked Mahira, who had now taken a seat right next to the woman's gurney.She flashed a sweet smile at her, letting out a long sigh. Mahira felt awful about all the wounds currently on the woman's body.Mahira couldn't fathom what Leona had done to end up in such a miserable state."I'm fine. These are just ordinary wounds you don't need to worry about. I'm used to all these injuries," said Leona, making the woman in front of her shake her head firmly.She knew the woman wasn't like what she was saying.Leona was a woman not much different from herself. Not meaning to say weak, but certainly not as strong as what the woman was claiming."Enough. I don't want to hear tough talk like what you're saying. Now, tell me what happened? Why were you so careless? Didn't you think or realize at all when trying to cross the street or whatever it was," Mahira said, emphasizing to the woman.Leona smiled at the woman. Right now, nothing was better for her than r
"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
