Luci was already asleep before Spider could fully explain who he was.
Seeing the beautiful Luci already drooping and almost falling from the chair, Spider quickly carried Luci's body to the sofa and put her to sleep.
The sofa was white and very soft. It was tucked away and hidden behind the wall. It would only be able to come out if Spider pressed one of the buttons on the remote available in the room.
The designer of this room had suggested that Spider use sound technology in operating these sophisticated tools. But Spider refused because he was the type of person who didn't like to talk.
Spider placed Luci slowly on the sofa. Then the man confirmed the position of Luci who was currently lying down. He combed Luci's face as well as her body. Then Spider sat on the other side of the sofa.
Spider stroked her face. All the caresses and touches would end on Luci's plump lips. If previously Spider could refrain from 'touching' Luci, then not this time.
Spider moved his face to get closer to Luci. Then the man kissed Luci's lips. A quick kiss to prove whether Luci was awake or not. Then when he saw that Luci didn't seem awake at all, Spider kissed her lips rather deeply and for a long time.
In his heart, Spider hoped, 'Hope my kiss is the first kiss you get, Bee.' But Spider was wrong because Luci's first kiss had already fallen into the hands of Evan Robert Hudan.
…
Luci woke up when it was evening. And when she woke up Spider was already sitting in his swivel chair reading a document. She then rubbed her eyes and sat her body down so she could be more aware.
'Since when have I been sleeping here?' thought her. After all, when Luci arrived earlier, she was sure that there was no sofa in this room.
When Luci wanted to check the clock, it turned out that her cell phone battery ran out. She hit herself on the head.
"Are you awake? Turns out you slept for a long time. If anyone had seen you sleeping I would have been thought to have drugged you." Spider chuckled and closed the document he was reading earlier.
"Eh, yeah I'm so tired. What time is it now?" Luci asked with her eyes still slightly puffy. Drowsiness still lingered in the girl's eyes somewhat.
"Seven o'clock."
"Evening?" Luci also widened her eyes in surprise. The problem was that she hadn't seen Hans yet. Who knew Hans was awake. And who knew the child would feel worried when he woke up and was in another very different room.
"I have to see Hans." Luci started to get up and smoothed her messy hair. Her backpack turned out to be on the other sofa.
"Fine, but after that, you have to eat. You haven't eaten since this morning." Spider made a condition.
If you look at Spider's clothes, it's a bit different. If earlier the man was wearing a plain white shirt, now Spider is wearing a white shirt with a few soft lines on the motif. His face is also cleaner. Maybe Spider took the time to take a shower.
"Okay, I'll eat after this. Besides, I'm really hungry." Luci told the truth which was immediately answered with an amused chuckle from Spider.
Spider stood up to lead the way. After pressing the remote button, the sofa where Luci had been sleeping had sunk behind the wall again. Luci was amazed to be here.
When she saw the sophistication of the sofa, Luci remembered whether Spider had already shown Luci his true identity? Did Luci go to sleep? Hmm, that could be asked later after Luci met Hans.
They walk side by side. Luci walked beside Spider because of the intimidation of the security design that was there. She looked again at all the tight security she had gone through this morning. Even though she's seen it once and had been through it once, Luci still wasn't used to it. Especially when lasers and gunfire erupted in the room.
The manual door was pushed by Spider who was then followed by Luci's body darting towards the elevator. After Spider had joined her, Luci pressed the number three on the elevator button.
In the elevator they didn't talk much, you could even say when in the elevator they were silent. Luci was thinking about Hans. Spider was thinking about something else he wanted to keep a secret.
After the elevator door opened Luci rushed out without even needing to take Spider. The girl sped up quickly to meet Hans.
The door to Hans' room was opened by Luci, inside was Hans who was still not sleeping. The boy didn't do much except reading. The children's books were old tales that have happy endings. Or Hans usually often read a book with a fairy godmother in it. Hans always said that he wanted to have a fairy godmother. Then when the fairy godmother came, Hans could ask the fairy godmother for healing.
"Hans," shouted Luci very happily.
Hans, who had been busy sinking behind the folds of the book, finally looked up. When his eyes found Luci who was running towards him, Hans smiled brightly.
"Sister Luci." The boy spread his arms in the air. The empty arms were then filled by Luci's body who was now hugging Hans tightly and gratefully.
"Why did you just come? I've been waiting for you for a long time." Hans protested. His face was not as pale as this morning. Now Hans was a bit more refreshed, never know why.
"Sorry, Hans Darling, I'm still busy." Luci tried to smile to comfort the boy. Her hand was now rubbing Hans' head.
"Stop working so hard, Sis!" Hans pleaded with a very serious face.
"I can not, dear."
"Is it because of my mother? She still likes to trap you with her debts?"
Hans's guess immediately took Luci by surprise. How did Hans know all that? Even though Hans had been in the hospital all this time and Luci had never discussed such things at the hospital.
"Hans, how did you know about that?"
"I heard it from Uncle Tedy when he was talking to Aunt Amy."
Amy was Daniel's cousin. Meanwhile, Tedy was Amy's husband. Amy and Daniel's relationship was very close and all of Daniel's family had a very good and close relationship with Daniel.
"They also said that you work like this to pay for my treatment. Don't push yourself, sis! I'm going to die soon after all." Hans looked down with his shoulders shaking unbelievably. The little hand gripped the fairy tale book that Tedy had bought.
Tedy was always kind to Hans, Amy was also kind to Hans. It's just that after seeing Aunt Arum so ostracized Hans, Amy didn't dare to take care of Hans, apart from that Amy didn't have any money.
"Hans, you can't talk like that. You're all I have here." Luci was almost in tears. But she was trying to hold back the tears. Luci didn't want to make Hans sad.
"Last night I was kidnapped. I was in an alley and Mom took me with someone else. Then suddenly when I woke up, I was in the hospital again. Now tell me, did she ask you for money last night?" Hans whispered with his face still down sadly. For Hans, the fairy tale book in his hands no longer attracted his attention.
"I – She."
"Stop being like that, sis! Stop making me a burden to others. I'm tired of being called a burden and a jinx!" Hans spat out all his emotions without a second thought.
