A few days after that, Valerie came back with her lawyer. This time, he came with many bodyguards with him. Marius' bodyguards were already preparing in their respective positions in case something happened.
"Where's Rain? I came here because my request to bring Rain approved. So, I'll bring Rain today" Valerie shouted at Marius' doorstep.
Ana, Marius, and even Lucas were already standing before him preventing him from entering.
"Listen, Miss Valerie. You are allowed to bring Rain only if Rain wants to. You can't force him. The court underlined this matter" one of Marius' lawyers said.
The two teams of lawyers battle each other over what is right and wrong, as Ana thinks about what will happen if Rain really doesn't want to go with Valerie. What will Valerie and her lawyer do?
The longer Ana was there watching the argument between the two teams of lawyers, the more calm Ana was. She felt better about herself with Rain, talking to him, or at least mentally preparing him for whatever was going to happen today.
When Ana turned to enter the house, she saw Rain standing in the middle of the room near the entrance. Ana immediately ran up to him.
"Rain ..."
Rain did not budge as Ana called out to him. He also did not run towards Ana as he usually did. He remained standing there with an unusual look on his face, which Ana had never seen before.
"Rain, why are you here? Since when is Rain here?" asked Ana.
Rain fell silent. He didn't answer anything. His gaze remained fixed on the people who were outside the room where he stood. His face is still unusual. Whether it was fear, sadness, or whatever it was, Ana could not define it.
"Rain ..."
Rain said his own name, but he did not continue his sentence. Both of his eyes looked like they were about to cry again.
Ana hugged him right away. She thought that her little girl would cry out from fear of the rowdy atmosphere that was currently going on out there.
"Don't listen to them, Rain. Don'tbeafraid. There's Mommy here" Ana said, calming him down.
"Rain .. would like to join Mama Valerie ..."
Ana was stunned for a moment to hear Rain's words. He let go of his embrace.
"Rain .. What did Rain say? Yesterday Rain said ..."
"Surge! I'm gonna see Rain."
Ana's words to Rain are interrupted as Valerie suddenly lunges into the house. Ana's mind is split, either protecting Rain from Valerie or reconfirming what Rain really wants. His anxiety at what Rain had just said made his feelings that had been uncomfortable, now getting worse.
"Rain, here you are" Valerie said. "Tell them, who are you going with? Mama or them?"
Rain looked at Ana and Marius who had just entered one by one with those small eyes. His gaze was faint, as if he was unwilling to say it.
"Rain .. wants to join Mama Valerie," cried Rain as she sobbed.
Ana was still shocked by Rain's words. She still remembered how Rain had cried all night because she did not want Valerie to take her, but now she could even say it out loud. Though tears could no longer be held back.
"Rain .. What's up, baby? Yesterday Rain said ..."
"Get aside!," Valerie snapped as she pushed Ana so hard that she fell backwards. "Don't try to influence him! You're going to make him change his mind, right?"
"Val!," snapped Marius. He immediately ran over to Ana who was still surprised by everything that had happened.
"Marius ...," call Ana Iirih. "Rain .. he ... he ..."
Marius hugged her. "Quiet, Ana. Calm yourself. I'll find out."
"Come, Rain. We're getting out of here. Don't mind your clothes and toys. Mama will buy a new one" Valerie said, holding Rain's hand.
"Rain .. rain ...," called Ana as she ran towards Rain.
"Stop! You heard what he asked for, didn't you? He said he wanted to come with me. As you asked, I didn't force it. He himself asked. So, you guys don't try to persuade her," Valerie snapped making Ana stop stepping.
"But, she's crying, Valerie. Calm her down first," soaked Ana who could not bear with Rain's cry.
"No need! He's my son. I know how to handle it. You are a stranger to him. Don't interfere!"
Marius hugged Ana from behind. He prevented Ana from stepping again. "Calm down, Ana. Calm down ...," whispered Marius.
"Rain .. listen to Mommy. Who forced you? Mommy knows someone must have forced you, right? Who made you like this, honey?" cried Ana deep in tears.
But Rain did not answer. She still cries.
Valerie doesn't want to linger there anymore. He was also worried that Rain would change his mind. He immediately took Rain away.
"Come, Rain ..."
Valerie's lawyer soon follows Valerie from behind as soon as Valerie leaves the place. But, Ana.
"brain ... Rain ... Rain ..."
Marius did not release his embrace from Ana. She tries hard to keep Ana from going after Valerie as well as Rain. He himself was also confused by Rain's change, but he tried not to make a new fuss that would complicate the matter later.
"Relainn ...."
Ana's last scream was like she was taking all the pain out of her heart. Because after that, his entire body felt powerless. The view darkened, and he no longer knew what was happening.
"Let's! Ana!," cried Marius repeatedly.
Without thinking any longer, Marius immediately carried Ana into his room.
......................
Marius continued to hold Ana's hand while the girl was still unconscious. Although doctors say this is a stress reaction or excessive shock, but Marius still can not stop worrying.
Marius rubbed Ana's forehead, then stroked her hair upwards. She knew Ana loved Rain very much. Therefore, today's incident would definitely hurt her heart greatly. But, Rain ... how can it be?
Lucas slowly enters Ana's room and approaches Marius, who still does not let go of Ana's hand.
"Say!" commanded Marius.
"The lawyer .. they work for ARK" Lucas reports.
"Nora ...," said Marius growled.
"How are you sure it's Nora?" asked Lucas.
"This is not Mr. Barnett's style of play. She'll definitely take Ana right away if she wants to."
"But, how did Nora change Rain's wishes?" asked Lucas.
"Track all the CCTVs, and have Tian check all the maids. Find out what Valerie will do after this. And keep preparing our plan, not to be delayed. We need this done sooner, or there won't be another chance."
Lucas leaves Ana's room as soon as Marius finishes giving her the order. Marius, he stays there with Ana. He really could not leave Ana alone in her condition. His heart is not calm.
"Hold, Ana. I promise I'll get everything done as soon as possible."
