In the bathroom, Veronica shook her head as she looked at her own body in the rather large mirror inside the shower. There were many marks left by Frans, but Veronica could breathe a sigh of relief because those marks were in places covered by clothing.After finishing her shower ritual, Veronica quickly left the bathroom, wearing just a bathrobe. As she stepped out, the first thing she saw was Frans packing some clothes into a small suitcase that he had brought yesterday.Veronica approached and touched Frans' hand. "Hubby, are you leaving tonight too?" she asked with a forlorn expression."Yes, dear. I'm sorry," Frans replied gently."It's okay. The sooner Hubby leaves, the sooner Hubby will come back, right?" Veronica said, hiding her own sadness. If she could be honest, she didn't want Frans to leave. "Thank you, yes, you always understand my situation." Frans stroked Veronica's cheek gently, "Then, I'll prepare first." Rubbed the top of Veronica's head and went into the bathroom

"You live here?" Bianca shivered in horror. Yogi, who had been trailing them from behind, shared the sentiment.Veronica nodded stiffly. "Yes. This is where I live." She quickly got out of the car, not wanting to entertain any further questions from Bianca.Bianca, who wanted to protest, held her tongue. She honked the car's horn to bid Veronica farewell, who had already rushed into the house's gate.After making sure Bianca had left, Veronica emerged from the front yard once more. As she was about to close the gate, she noticed a familiar figure, a man she knew very well, sitting on a motorcycle not far from her house. "Yogi?" Veronica stepped back and entered the house again. Because she didn't have a key to get in, she chose to hide beside the house. After waiting for a while, Yogi finally left. The girl sighed with relief, knowing she could finally come out of her hiding spot.Veronica ran with all her might, wanting to put as much distance as possible between herself and her ol

"Vero, are you sure about staying here?" Bianca looked around the house. She shuddered and felt disgusted seeing the house. It was dusty and dark.Veronica smiled, "I'm a lazy type of person." She replied casually. She didn't want Bianca to ask too many questions. "Thank you for your help." She cleared the bed of dust a little.As a result, Bianca coughed due to her inability to tolerate the dust."You're welcome. I'll go home now. Get well soon." Bianca rushed out of Veronica's house and left the front door wide open.Veronica breathed a sigh of relief as Bianca left her house. She stood up and, as she reached for her bag placed on her study table by Bianca, she began to feel dizzy.Her vision darkened, and Veronica immediately lost consciousness because her body could no longer bear it. Since last night, she hadn't slept at all, not to mention the pain in her right hand. It was further exacerbated by the fact that she hadn't eaten anything until this late afternoon.So now, Veronica

"It's alright, Bian. Thank you all for taking the time to come," Veronica said gently."I was actually reluctant, Vero. But Bianca forced me to come visit you," Yuna, who was growing weary of Bianca's charades, began to show her true colors."Yuna!" Bianca gave Yuna a sharp look. "Don't mind Yuna's words, Vero. I'm also sorry. I think I pushed you to stay out late, and that's why you're sick like this," she said, patting Veronica's shoulder.It was crystal clear to Frans. He heard Bianca confirm Veronica's account of the previous night. He rubbed his face roughly, overcome with guilt. "Oh God, what have I done? Why couldn't I trust my own wife's words? She's so good and sincere in loving me."Frans continued to eavesdrop and tried to listen to the conversation between Bianca and Veronica."It's okay, Bianca. Maybe it's time for me to get sick. Thank you again for coming," Veronica said, her voice full of gratitude. Bianca nodded and hugged Veronica. Behind Veronica's back, Bianca sne

The doctor, Ayu Syahara, nodded. "You're welcome, Ma'am. I'm here to help if you need anything.""Veronica? That's a nice name. But if she matches the description Ayu gave... Oh God," Reni muttered to herself as she walked away. She was growing impatient to confirm everything, as she believed Frans was returning from Bali today, when in reality, he had been in Jakarta for over a week. ***Frans, observing the students as they submitted their impromptu quiz, couldn't help but notice Veronica's serious demeanor as she tackled the questions before her."It's time's up! Let's collect your papers, whether you've finished or not!" Frans announced loudly. "After that, you can leave the class."The students promptly obeyed Frans's orders, rising from their seats one by one and placing their answer sheets on the front desk. Veronica, too, followed suit, so as not to raise any suspicion.However, Frans was puzzled by Bianca, who remained seated and unmoving in her place. Eventually, he approache
