Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 - Miss Savior

Keily was grouchy walking alone in the backyard of her cottage. This time she wasn't locked in the hut by Sinta, nor was she practicing kung fu, because Baba had persuaded her aunt to spare her. However, the aunt still gave another punishment, namely memorizing one of the books on medicine written by Maria.

Unfortunately, this girl who likes to play, got tired of reading the book, left the hut and took a walk in the backyard.

"Why is Madam Maria cruel to me? I'm the only one locked up in her golden cage." She felt very annoyed that she was the only one locked up in this golden cage. Even though whatever is needed, Sinta will surely provide it.

Even when she wanted Ice Doger, which she heard was delicious from Baba's story, Sinta brought it to the hut along with the vendor and the cart selling it.

"What's the use of me learning this and that but a lifetime in this cage." She kept on complaining about her bad luck, "In fact, according to Baba, there are many beautiful things out there, as well as making lots of acquaintances with people other than residents in this hostel and a golden cage. Hey, how I want to see it." she added then stopped by the river, then sat on a stretch of grass, her two beautiful light brown beads looking at the clear river water in front of her.

"Good grief!" heard her screams because he saw a man floating carried by river water towards this place. She quickly dived into the river, approaching the man who was Ethan.

Her finger immediately checked the pulse on one of the man's wrists.

"Still alive." She was relieved because the doctor was still alive, "I'd better take him to the hut in my backyard, so I can find out why he fainted in the river." she added, then moved himself to face the back of the doctor's head, then her hands embraced the doctor from behind, then with all his might pulled the man's body up to the bank of the river.

While at the scene of Issac's second son's accident, Samuel quickly stopped his jeep right on the side of the highway. Two other jeeps which were Issac's soldiers also stopped right behind the eldest master's jeep.

He rushed out of the car, then with long strides combed around the location, shouting his sister's name.

"Ethan! Ethan! Where are you? If you're still alive, scream, I'll help you!"

The soldiers who were with him also combed around looking for the second young master who was harmed by unknown people.

Gandy, Ethan's assistant, found spilled gasoline on the surface of the grass and immediately checked the spill with his hands and nose. He felt that the spilled gasoline was fresh, it came from the jeep his boss was driving. He immediately followed the spilled gasoline that led to a place that was the last place of the second young master's jeep.

Samuel saw what the assistant was doing, and immediately approached him.

"Gandy, did you find any clues?" he asked feeling the assistant found a clue that they could find Ethan.

"Yes, first young master." Gandy replied, "Gasoline spills. It's still wet and smells bad. I suspect it came from the gas tank of the second young master's jeep that was broken into by the people who injured the second young master."

"Good grief! Who were they sent?"

"I have a feeling from the Sumarno family, or from Mr. Issac's enemy who took advantage of the chaos at the factory."

"If Papa's enemy, who is strong you think can do this?"

"I haven't got a picture yet, first young master."

The two men arrived at the edge of a ravine, the last place where the gasoline spilled.

"Canyon?!" Samuel was shocked to see this, "Gosh! Did Ethan fall into the abyss?" he looked at Gandy who was wading down the ravine from where they stood.

Meanwhile in Jakarta, Laura becomes hysterical after being told by Manuel about Ethan's accident.

"Ethan! Ethan, my son! Why are you careless? Why are you desperate to go to the factory alone? Ethan!"

The woman's tears welled up, while Issac, who was hugging her back, seemed to be thinking hard.

"Papa!" Ethan's mother screamed as she looked at her husband, "Do something! Send a team to find Ethan!" she screamed while clutching both sides of her husband's arms, "I'm sure he's still alive! Papa, do something! Find our son!" she roared in tears asking the man to find Ethan until he found him. Her tears continued to flow, "Was all this Sam's plan?"

"Hais, random you!" Issac's voice rebuked his wife who thought that Samuel had caused Ethan's accident, "Sam loves his little brother. Time and time again to help his sister."

"It could be pretend. I know that kid wants to take control of the Collins Company to get Sarah's revenge on us."

"Enough, Laura!" Issac shouted, "I emphasize to you, Sam my son, I educated him just like I educated Ethan. I instilled a strong affection so that he would love his younger brother Ethan. So don't keep accusing him of wanting to get rid of Ethan."

Issac then let go of his arms from his wife's back,

"Herbert!" called his assistant who was with them at the moment, "Any news from Sam and Gandy?" asked the assistant for monitoring the location through Manuel.

"They have descended into the abyss to find the second young master, Mr." Said the assistant, "Because They saw the second young master's Jeep stuck on one of the sloping surfaces of the ravine."

Hearing this, Laura was hysterical again,

"Ethan! No! Don't take my child!"

Then fainted in front of her about to hit the table, Issac quickly caught his wife's body, carried her into his arms, screaming at Herbert.

"Herbert! Quickly take my car to the front of the lobby terrace! Laura needs medical treatment!"

Keily with great difficulty lifted Ethan onto the bed in the small hut behind her hut, then propped his body against the wall of the bed, then quickly removed the man's clothes which were wet with river water mixed with red liquid from the gunshot wound that hit his shoulder and chest.

"Haiyah!" her village saw the gunshot wound, "This man was shot. Ish, who was mean to him?" she wondered what had happened to the doctor.

Then she laid Ethan on the bed, covered the doctor's lower body, then rushed to another hut where the medical equipment and medicines that Sinta had prepared for his study and practice materials were stored.

"Keily!" Sari's good friend Keily's voice sounded, "Why are you here?" she asked in surprise, "Aren't you punished by Mrs. Sinta for memorizing the book written by Mrs. Maria?" approached by this girl who started to get the medical equipment and medicine needed to treat Ethan.

"Why are you here alone? Did Aunt tell you to clean my hut?"

"I was told by Mrs. Sinta to take some medicine for you to mix according to your memorization from Mrs. Maria's book."

"Hey, I don't need that yet." Retorted Keily a little sullen.

"What are you doing here?"

"Hais, you're just shut up."

"But all this," Sari looked at the things Keily had collected on the table, "Is like treating people who are injured." she recognized the items.

"Of course."

"Kei, who are you treating?"

"I don't know. I found him passed out floating down the river."

"Good grief!" Sari was surprised, "I told Uncle Baba, so he can take that person to the clinic in the hostel." He said he was about to leave Keily to ask for Baba's help.

"Uh, don't!" the lady shouted quickly to confront her friend, "If Baba knows, Aunt Sinta must know too, then woe to that person. He's seriously injured, why must scold by my aunt? You've kept this a secret from everyone."

Sari sighed, "Yeah." she agreed with what the big miss said, "Let me help you bring all of this to that person." she brought some of the items that were on the table.

It wasn't long before the two girls were at the hut where Ethan lay unconscious.

"Sari!" came Keily's voice, "You quickly grab Baba's shirt and trousers."

"You said I can't see him."

"You steal it from his cupboard, or the clothesline behind his cottage."

"But what's all that for?"

"It's for this person." Keily pointed at Ethan who was only covered in a blanket. "His clothes were wet and full of bloodstains, so I removed everything from his body," she added explaining the condition of the doctor.

Sari was surprised to hear this, "You took off all his clothes? Hey, Kei, he is a man."

"So? Did I leave him with his clothes soaking wet? He's injured externally, does he have to add a cold?" Keily explained why she took off all the doctor's clothes while slapping her best friend on the forehead, "Sari, hurry up and take Baba's clothes!" she added while pushing her best friend out of the hut.

After that, she returned to Ethan, and not long after she carefully removed two bullets that hit the doctor with her medical equipment. She lowered Maria's ability in medicine, only because he liked to play and was too innocent, so she was lazy to study and practice.

After the bullet came out, she cleaned the wound with cotton soaked in NaCl liquid, then added the wound medicine she made from Maria's recipe which her smart brain memorized. The final step was stitching up the wound, then placing an IV in one of the doctor's wrists.

"Finished." She felt relieved, "Finally, I'm practicing for real. This man is my first patient." she said smiling because Ethan was a new patient.

Sari returned to the hut with a set of clothes belonging to Baba, which she gave to Keily who was tidying up medical equipment and used medical cotton.

"Kei," said her best friend, "How is this guy?"

"It's safe because two bullets have left his body."

"Good grief!" Sari was shocked, "Kei, is this man wanted by the police?"

"You mean?"

"Like Uncle Baba's stories, the police fugitive must have a gunshot wound."

Tuing, Keily gasped hearing this, then smacked Sari's forehead,

"Is it true that only criminals got shot? You're get out there, I want to dress him up."

Sari took a deep breath, then left. Keily immediately put a double xl Baba shirt on Ethan's body. Unexpectedly, the doctor woke up when he switched to pairing his boxer shorts, then was surprised to see the girl move to a sensitive part of his body.

"Good grief!" heard his screams, and even jumped straight up, both hands covering his precious weapon, making the puncture of the infusion tube detached from the infusion needle hole in his wrist, Keily looked at him who was surprised to see him behaving like this, "Who are you?" asked who the girl was.

"I?" Keily pointed at herself, quickly lowered the control wheel on the infusion hose, then put the tube on the IV pole beside the bed.

"Yes, you." The doctor replied, observing the girl with a curious look because what this lady was doing was exactly what the nurses did at the hospital, "You are a woman, why are you looking at my missiles like that!" he protested why the girl dared to see the gun.

"Seeing that you mean?" Keily even pointed at the missile covered by the doctor's hands.

"Yes, this one." replied the young master glancing at his missile.

"If I see it why? I want to put boxer shorts in there!" said the girl showing off boxer shorts in her left hand to the doctor, "I found you passed out floating in the river." she added because the doctor did not understand all the current conditions.

"I?"

"Yes, you. You passed out floating down the river. I brought you here, then know why you passed out. You were shot."

Ethan listened to all of this, remembering the last time before he passed out, then spoke to Keily,

"So? I was still alive at that time?

"You were still alive at that time, so I will treat you."

"Are you a doctor?"

"No." Keily gave boxer shorts to Ethan, "Since you're awake, please put these on yourself." she said explaining why he gave the pants to the doctor.

"Where are my clothes?" the doctor even asked about her clothes.

"I soaked in laundry soap in the yard outside this cottage because it was full of blood. So while you wear clothes belonging to my caretaker Baba."

Ethan listened to all of this, then sighed,

"I'm sorry I was rude to you."

"It's okay, because you just had a bad event, then you met me, a woman you don't know."

Ethan became uncomfortable hearing this,

"That's enough." The girl's voice was heard again, "I'll go out first so you can put on your pants. When it's finished, call me, let me put the IV back on. You need IV fluids that I've mixed with pain and fever medicine. I'll be injecting antibiotics in a moment so your wound won't become infected." she added and immediately left the hut.

Ethan watched the girl leave, and his eyes seemed to wonder who he was. Is everything real right now, or is it an illusion? Is it true that he is still alive?
