LOGINI was watching the nurses as they checked Jessica’s blood pressure when I felt a hand touch my arm. I looked beside me and saw James. He smiled at me, but it didn’t reach his eyes. It was the smile of an emotionally tired person. “It was too late, Analia. I think you need to go home and rest,” he
I glanced at the door. “Doctor,” James said and shook hands with the doctor. Jessica let go of my arms when she heard about the doctor. She rushed to the doctor and held his arms. “Doctor, what happened? How is he? Is he okay now?” she asked nonstop. James gently pulled her away from the doctor
“You really have the audacity?” Veronica sarcastically said. I slowly let go of Arzhel and wiped my tears as I turned around to face her. “Not now, Veronica,” I said, almost out of energy. She sarcastically laughed. “And when would be the right time to scold you?” she asked, irritated and lookin
My phone rang. I was already in our front door. “Hello, Janna?” I said. I called her a while ago, asking for help to find the hospital where they brought Arzhel, and for her to monitor Adrian’s situation. “I already found Mr. Arzhel’s hospital,” she started. “He’s in the same hospital as Mr. Adr

He just followed Arzhel here because he also didn’t know he would come here unannounced and that we would have a meeting because it was originally not in his schedule, which was also the case for me. Janna and Ethan sat on both sides to take down notes of our meeting. “Let’s start,” I said and cli
I heard some gentle knocks on my door. When I looked up, I saw Janna. She looked worried and hesitant. “Uhm, Ms. Analia,” she said hesitantly. She also glanced at her back for a second before speaking. I just looked at her and waited for her to finish what she was about to say. “Mr. Arzhel wants
“Just thirsty,” I joked. He nodded. He seemed convinced. But as far as I knew, I didn’t really have a problem, aside from some feelings I was burying inside me. “Let’s have dinner. We weren’t able to go last week, so I think it’s the right time,” he said in his sweet and calm tone. How could I sa
Luckily, the waiter arrived and served our food. We forgot about our topic and proceeded with our dinner. This was one of the most silent dinners I had. The last time we had dinner, it was still okay, not awkward, because I had Arriana with me, whom I could give my attention to. But now, it was
