Chapter 18 - Talk

"You're not home, Herdy?" Alea asked when she opened her eyes from waking up.

The man just smiled a little while looking at Alea, "I was waiting for you," he said casually.

"You better go home. I can be alone here," Alea released her hand from Herdy's grip.

The woman tried to change her body position. She deftly helped Alea, who was trying to get up.

"Don't force it first, just like this first," Herdy grumbled.

Alea smiled a little, and her intention to sit up from her sleep was still not able to do.

"Go home, and you might become a patient like me if you stay here too long,"

"Do you want me to be a patient?"

"Don't tease me, Herdy?"

"I want to accompany you. How many times have I told you?"

"Yes, but I'm already healthy. How long are you going to be here with me?"

"Until you recover,"

Alea can only exhale roughly, and it can't be helped.

Hardy is tough for him to expel, whether openly or not. Hardy is very insensitive.

Now both of them were silent. Hardy just smiled seeing Alea, who was smiling naughtily at him.

A nurse entered Alea's room, and the nurse smiled kindly at her while carrying medical equipment to check Alea's condition.

Hardy immediately gave space to the nurse, while Alea just smiled kindly at the nurse.

At first, Alea thought Herdy would leave when the nurse came, but Alea's thoughts turned out wrong.

Hardy was still silent and looked at him, who was being examined by the nurse.

Until the nurse opened her voice, Herdy just nodded her head while saying thank you.

"You're not hungry?" Alea opened her voice again.

"No." His reply was short.

"Your stomach must be filled!" Alea's voice rose slightly.

Hardy sat beside Alea's bed, one hand outstretched while gently stroking the woman's black hair.

"I'm full, just seeing you were getting better, I'm not hungry anymore," Herdy was very serious with his words.

Both of Alea's eyes stared at Herdy's eyes, seeing whether the man was lying or not.

Alea opened her voice a second later, "I'm hungry, I want to eat," she sulked.

"Hahaha...a moment," Herdy immediately got up.

Alea smiled a little when she saw Herdy, who rushed up and immediately left the guest room.

After Hardy's departure, Alea tried to lower her legs.

I don't know how long she spent in the hospital. Alea felt very bored sitting in the hospital.

Alea tried to approach the window she wanted to enjoy the fresh air slowly.

The breeze that blew was very fresh. The wind that hit the skin on her face seemed to greet every inch of Alea's skin.

"Why are you even here?" Hardy's voice made Alea a little surprised.

"Tsk!" Alea immediately pursed her lips.

"I need fresh air. My skin might get wrinkled if I sit on the bed," continued Alea. The woman immediately opened her voice first.

Herdy's sharp eyes, which were initially lit, have now turned calm. It's true what Alea said sitting on the bed is not a good thing.

"Eat first, and I'll take it to the park later."

"Serious?"

"Do I look like I'm lying?"

"I was just making sure,"

"You only need to eat, Alea, and your energy must be filled,"

The little debate continued for a while. Now Alea was feeding her food.

Now and then, her eyes glanced at Herdy, who was looking at her. Inside Alea's little heart, the woman just kept cursing, and occasionally she felt very irritated by Herdy's gaze, which was so very intimidating.

"Spend it."

"Yeah.."

Alea took her last bite, and her mouth looked so full it made Herdy chuckle.

"Funny?" Alea asked with her mouth full of food.

Hardy nodded his head, answering Alea's question.

Alea quickly chewed her food, a little embarrassed to hear Herdy's answer.

"Okay..let's go to the park?" Alea's eyes immediately lit up.

"Just a moment," Herdy took a wheelchair in the corner of the room.

Hardy took Alea's infusion bag with full tenderness and then grabbed Alea's slim waist to sit in a wheelchair.

***

The park was not crowded, and there were only a few patients in the park.

Alea was enjoying the garden air, Alea ignored Herdy's question.

His focus was only on the beautiful garden, even though Herdy had stopped the wheelchair.

"Do you want to focus on the garden or hear me say?" Hardy felt very sorry for bringing Alea to the park.

"You regret bringing me here?" Alea now feels very irritated.

"No?" said Herdy.

"Then?" Alea asked.

Hardy pushed the wheelchair again and took Alea to a beautiful flower garden.

"You can answer my question. I'm not someone else, Alea," Herdy snapped.

"I didn't hear you earlier,"

"Tsk." Hardy could only chuckle in annoyance.

How could it be? What Alea didn't hear was what she said earlier.

"Want me to buy some food?" asked Hardy.

"Yes," said Alea enthusiastically.

Hardy then stopped his steps, helped Alea sit on a park bench, and put her infusion bag on the provided pole.

"Wait a minute here,"

"Do not belong,"

"Ready, princess"

Hardy immediately went to the canteen, then bought some snacks.

Now and then, his eyes look at Alea, and he doesn't want to be careless at all to watch the woman he loves.

"You don't have to run, Her." Alea warning.

Hardy took out the snacks, then opened a drinking water bottle and gave it to Alea.

However, Alea refused and asked Herdy to open her mouth.

"You have to drink, I'm just sitting here, and you run around,"

"Thank You,"

Alea just nodded, "You want this?" he bargained.

"Yes," said Herdy.

The beautiful flower garden and the gorgeous weather made Herdy and Alea very comfortable in the park.

"When can I go home?" Alea tries to ask about his return.

"I can't be sure yet, Lea. I can only follow the doctor's advice," said Herdy.

Alea was silent, "I want to go home quickly," Alea whispered.

She gently grasped Alea's hand, then kissed it gently.

"You'll be home soon, and I guarantee that."

Alea looked at Herdy, "Thank you," Alea said sincerely.

"No need to hesitate," replied Hardy.

Alea was grateful when Herdy was beside her, and she was very calm and peaceful.

She will go through bad things again later, even though Herdy hasn't explained anything, but Alea knows how poor Erwin's treatment is to her.

Long silent in the garden, Herdy invited Alea to return to her room.

Too long exposure to angina is unsuitable for Alea's body, and her condition has not fully recovered.

Hardy was only afraid if something happened to Alea, even though the woman looked fine from the outside.

But Hardy himself was sure that Alea was hiding her sadness alone.

"We're back in the room," said Herdy.

Alea nodded her head, then immediately got up to quickly sit back in her wheelchair and return to her living room.
