Brian was lazy to tell stories. He looked at his watch which showed ten o'clock. He had to go to the office for a meeting.
"I have to go to the office. I'll explain everything to you another time. " Brian quickly stood up, suddenly making the two women there also stand up.
"I want you to check out the entirety of her and how fertile her uterus is, and when is the best time to sow seeds." Even though Diana stared in shock at all of Brian's requests, she couldn't say anything else. Even though she is a good friend of Brian and Elise, Diana knows that she cannot interfere with their household affairs. Besides, Brian had promised to tell a story.
"Fine, I'll check it out."
"And one more thing, I want you to record the medical record under the name Elise."
"But Brian is violating my code of ethics. I can't fake patient data. "
"Diana, please help us this time, okay?" Seeing the pleading look that Brian rarely gave her, made Diana nod in resignation.
"If anything happens, you must be responsible." Brian nodded in agreement with Diana's words.
"Call me when the check is over." Without waiting for Diana's answer or even glancing at Elena, Brian had turned and walked out of the room.
Elena thought about Diego again. Although she can't always stay with Diego now, Elena hopes that she can still visit the man once every day, even if it's only for a short time. Elena immediately went after Brian to make her point.
"Wait!" shouted Elena, chasing after Brian. Luckily Brian is still not far from Doctor Diana's examination room.
Brian turned around with an irritated snort. He hates Elena's intrusion. His brows knit together and his gaze sharpens.
"Can I go outside for a while after the examination?"
"Wait a moment?" the stress in Brian's tone showed his dislike.
"I promise it won't belong."
"I don't need your promise. But if when I go to the apartment at eight in the evening you are not there, then you will get your punishment. " The word of punishment that came out of Brian's lips gave Elena goosebumps on her neck.
Elena just nodded in resignation. And Brian just walked away. Elena exhaled softly, being around Brian always made it difficult for her to breathe. Her heart was also always beating fast, afraid of what the man could do. Elena turned and walked into Doctor Diana's room.
Without Elena and Brian knew it, there is a girl who has been watching them since Brian left the room. She smiled crookedly. Then laughed triumphantly while carrying an envelope that marked the hospital with the patient's name Elise Wesley.
"In a moment Brian will be mine, Elise. Do whatever you can to get Brian's child. Even though all of that was in vain. You're just a barren woman who doesn't belong with Brian. " The woman named Tiara laughed to herself. As if hearing something very funny.
"And in six months, when you're not pregnant either, Aunt Rena will marry me off to Brian. Returning the position that was mine, to be Brian's wife. And you ... I will kick you out after officially marrying Brian and carrying his child. " The smile of victory was etched on Tiara's beautiful face. Then the woman walked away with a smile while tightly gripping Elise's medical record envelope which stated that her egg was very difficult to fertilize. Or in other words, Elise was barren.
....
Elena doesn't care about the results of her examination. When Doctor Diana said all the examinations were over Elena immediately lifted her legs and left there. She wanted to see Diego. After all, it was already late in the afternoon, Elena could not possibly come to the Wonderfull Cafe to work when the Cafe was about to close.
Now Elena is in Diego'sward. doctors have said that all operations are going normally and are just waiting for Diego to regain consciousness. However, Diego has never regained consciousness since he was admitted to the hospital after the accident that happened to him.
Elena held Diego's right hand. Holding her tight and leading the back of Diego's hand to rub her cheek.
"Bro, please wake up quickly. You have to be strong and wake up. I need you." Elena's eyes stared at Diego's face. The woman recalls what happened last night when Brian shouted angrily as well as cruelly insulting Elena.
"Bro, I know the way I get the money to finance your operations is the wrong way. But that's all I can do to get money fast."
"I also know, this thing I did made Elise disappointed in me. And made her husband hate me. But I have to accept everything, right? This is a risk I must accept. I will survive Bro. I will survive even if they insult and humiliate me. As long as you always stay by my side. As long as I can still see you alive. " Tears started rolling down Elena's cheeks. The cries she endured broke again.
"Please wake up quickly, Bro. I love you, love you very much." No matter how hard Elena begged, Diego still gave no response or any signs he would soon wake up. The man seemed so calm and peaceful in his sleep.
Suddenly a nurse came in and was about to do a brief check. Elena looked up after wiping her tears. Elena's eyes widened when she saw the face of the nurse who was standing on Diego's bedside, checking the intravenous fluid and other medical devices that were attached to Diego's body.
"Mira?" muttered Elena quietly calling out the nurse's name. Even though they haven't seen each other for years, Elena can still recognize the woman in front of her. She was Elena's best friend when she was still in the orphanage.
The nurse turned towards Elena with a frown in confusion. Where did Elena know her name? After she stared at Elena for a long time, it finally hit her.
