Aster Veren
Episode 162

- Carel

"You're not coming back?" Kalea's voice entered Aster's ward, making me glance at her who was already standing next to me.

"I'll come back later, if I want to. Just go first." Sayapkugm could not distract me from the figure of Aster who was still lying weak, unconscious.

"Hah~ alright. Call me if Aster's awake. I'm leaving." He said after a long sigh, then left the two of me with Aster.

Hans left after receiving a call from someone, and I replaced him to look after Aster.

I moved my legs closer to where Aster was lying with his pale face, reminding me of Mother's figure. I saw cold sweat drenching Aster's forehead, I carefully wiped his sweat with my handkerchief.

I really hate this scent, but why do I have to go back to the hospital? I even decided to become a doctor even though I didn't like hospitals. My mind has no good memories in the hospital.

"What's so good about being a doctor if you can't save me." I continued muttering while grabbing the end of Aster's hair.

My eyes widened in surprise when I realized that his long hair had become short, "did you cut it?"

Time is getting late but Aster is still unconscious, even Hans has not returned to the hospital. He said he was going away for a while, but what is he doing now?

Ting!

Notification of my incoming phone message stole my attention, I quickly pulled my headphone out of my pants pocket, before reading the incoming message I received.

"Dwi?" I muttered as I looked at the name on my headphone screen.

I lazily opened the incoming message from him and started reading it. "You've seen the news."

"What news?" I immediately checked the internet to see the latest news.

My eyes were again made to widen in surprise when I saw the news of Robert's family's destruction. I see some of your men are there with Hans too?

"Casus corruption?" I muttered again as I read another news headline showing a portrait of Robert's face there.

"The attempted murder of the daughter of Lord Ansel by her daughter, Master Robert." I went on to see another piece of news that showed a portrait of a woman who looked like Robert. Maybe she was the princess in question.

"... So this woman poisoned you?" My growl couldn't stop watching Rose's portrait from my headphone screen. Trying to remember her face, I don't know if I felt like we were going to meet accidentally. That's why I feel like I have to remember his face well. So that I can repay Aster.

I turned off my headphone screen after reading the news about Robert's family being destroyed. That kid is pretty smart too, right? My mind recalls Hans' struggle to spread the word about Mr. Robert's corruption and the news of his daughter's attempted murder of my nephew.

"... Who told you to touch my niece!" I was upset when I heard about Aster being rushed to the hospital for poisoning.

Why did he have to go through such a bad thing when I was not there, and while his father was still lying in a coma in the hospital.

"Come on to realize you stupid brother! We must move immediately to avenge Aslan's actions on you." I said I put my headphone back in my pants pocket.

I also have to return to my house to finish my work before the deadline runs out. I continued in my heart, remembering my big abandoned project.

"In addition, I can't leave Khael and my wife any longer." I muttered along with Rigel's arrival.

"You came at the right time, can you monitor my brother's condition as long as I'm not around? I have to get back to my place, there's a job that's been waiting for me for a long time." I immediately grabbed her shoulder with both hands.

"When he's awake, call me right away!" I kept him confused and hesitated.

"Then I'm leaving now. See you later Rigel." My pamit got out of there, and got ready to go to the airport.

My business here is done, the rest is just taking care of Aslan's family. My mind again remembers the old grandfather who had sent his men to harm my brother.

"The family of Robert has also been handled .. yes indeed the rest is only the family of Aslan only. Just wait for my vengeance, old man."

- Esther

I wasn't my eyes when I felt the cold air greeting my skin, I looked at the white-painted ceiling before turning to look around me.

"This scent ... hospital scent?" My murmurs stopped at the slightly open window gap, bringing the night wind in greeting me.

I saw the moonlight also look so bright, shining among thousands of stars. Apparently it's still dark. My mind immediately rose from my lying position and noticed the infusion hose in my hand.

"Ughh! My head," I continued as I felt the throbbing in my heart.

"Let me keep watch at night, you can go back home and rest." Uncle Hans's voice made me look at the door.

"But, it's been more than a week since she's been unconscious from drinking too much of that poisonous tea. I–"

"I'm sure the lady will be fine and get up soon." Cut Uncle Hans to make Mila's voice heard no more.

Waitaminute! One Weeks? I was unconscious for a week?

"Sister Mila said .. Did I drink too much toxic tea?" I continued to recall the faint-looking incident in my head.

As I recall I was having a meeting with the four–really! That day, I was with them, and I felt sleepy and drank my green tea until I vomited blood. Then after that I don't remember anything until I wake up in my room.

Then I heard a commotion in the room next to mine, before long the voices of Kalea and Carel were heard entering my room. And Carel took me, took me to the hospital with uncle Hans and Kalea. After that I don't remember anymore.

"So the tea I drank was poisonous .. I guess I vomited blood because of something else. It turned out ...," I muttered while turning my attention to the beautiful scenery outside the window, unable to continue my words.

How is dad now? I didn't even know you were up or not because you were unconscious for that long.

The sound of the door opening from the outside made me turn towards the door, and I saw that Uncle Hans was already standing in the doorway with his surprised expression.

"No–nona? Doctor!" He muttered before shouting to call the doctor.

Soon uncle returned with a doctor who was ready to check on me.

"How's doc doing?" Uncle Hans asked worriedly, but the doctor who examined me didn't care because he was focusing on examining my body.
