Black Shadow: Gangster X Family
Felix the attention

[A few hours before]

Chloe gets out of the taxi she was riding in with a parcel basket, after paying her she rushes into the hospital building. Arriving at the administration desk, the girl immediately asked where the room where her father was cared for. A few minutes he waited for a response from the nurse, After he could again rush to the room in question.

The girl opened the door, seeing how the room filled her family. Mama, Reina, Alvin and his uncle were there. While his father was lying sick, the whole room looked at him.

Chloe rushed over to the side of the bed, She placed the parcel basket on the table and looked sadly at her father who was lying limp. "Dad..."

Chloe's father's gaze softened, He rubbed her daughter's mane slowly. His first child was at once a penance for his younger siblings. "Hey son, I'm glad you're here. How's your marriage, your husband is good to you?"

Chloe bit her lower lip after hearing the question, She wanted to be honest with her father if it was actually a fake wedding. But he said that making his father's condition drop if he heard the actual facts. The girl had to put on a fake smile.

"Yes, he's good, yeah" she lied.

"Thank God, I'm glad you're okay there,"

Chloe still maintained her fake smile, until the father looked at his wife.

"Ma, I think this is enough, Dad was light. I want to go home, the cost here is expensive,"

Mama Chloe was shocked to hear her husband's words. "Can't be well, I'm still sick just here until I recover. Costs business let mama take care of,"

"Ma, don't go. I'm okay,"

"No matter I rest here, Mama will bear the cost" Mama Chloe insisted she wanted her husband to stay in the hospital.

Alvin and Reina chose to step back a bit because they were afraid to see their mama start insistent, while Chloe was silent gloomily considering the economic condition of her family was so decreased. Shortly after, the girl opened her voice.

"Let Chloe who carries the administrative costs, Mama and I don't have to think about the costs anymore" Sela Chloe with a serious expression.

Chloe's father and mother were shocked to hear that, as was Chloe's paternal uncle.

"Where did you get the money for this hospital?" Mom asked Chloe still surprised.

"Chloe's gonna find a job soon, trust Chloe. Chloe's gonna pay for all her expenses,"

Although Chloe's mom and dad are worried about their first child, they also need Chloe's help. And finally Chloe's parents fell silent no longer.

"I'll help Chloe too, I'll find a part-time job after school" said Alvin, then embraced by Reina.

"Because I'm going to help Alvin and Chloe's sister, too" Reina said.

Chloe smiled amusedly at the behavior of her two sisters. His hands stretched out ruffled the mane of the two. "Yes, but don't push yourself,"

"Good sister," said the two in unison.

After giving up longing with her family because the day also began at noon, Chloe resigned herself and left the room. Fears Justin mad at him for coming home from a drought. Chloe traced the hospital corridor through several patients and nurses who went back and forth.

Taps!  Taps!  Taps!

Until Chloe felt like there were footsteps following her from behind, For a moment the girl glanced back, Accelerating the steps until suddenly a hand held onto Chloe's shoulder. He was a little strangled in shock, when he found out that his uncle was the one who followed him earlier.

"Uncle?"

Uncle Chloe just gave a cold look and pulled the girl's arm strong. "Follow uncle!"

"Where are we going uncle?"

Uncle Chloe did not reply, Just keep focusing on the destination. A few minutes after Chloe followed her uncle's steps despite being forcibly withdrawn, they finally stopped at a park. Hospital park is empty of visitors and patients.

Chloe pulled her arm after being released by the uncle, For a moment the girl rubbed her arm slightly blue because the grip of the uncle was so strong.

"Uncle why bring Chloe here?"

"Uncle wants to talk to you with four eyes!" Uncle Chloe was still staring coldly. Chloe just silently listened to the continuation of her uncle's words.

"Unclearance you were married to a foreign man when you were in a coma. Is true?"

"Yes..That's right," Chloe replied hesitantly, Because the marriage was just pretending. But he thinks he still has to keep the secret and has not dared to tell the facts to his family.

Uncle Chloe's face looked crimson withstanding anger after hearing the truth firsthand. He began to raise his tone, Jerking Chloe after seeing the girl speechless.

"You shouldn't obey your parents' wishes, You shouldn't marry that man, you should just follow your uncle's will!"

"What uncle mean? Uncle wants me to curb my parents' orders? Whose uncle is it? My uncle is my family, but my parents' wishes are more important,"

"Did you forget, Uncle also took care of you as a child," Uncle Chloe looked angry as well as Chloe who also ignited emotions.

"I know my uncle's goal is just to get my father's and mama's inheritance into uncle's hands, right?! So when they are gone, the inheritance falls into the hands of the uncle and the uncle becomes the head of the family in place of the father. Is that really uncle's goal?!" Chloe clenched her hand curling furiously.

Uncle Chloe's expression looked surprised, Before long his hand was raised and a slap was right on the girl's cheek.

THE PLAQUE!

Chloe was silent after feeling numb on her left cheek, a throbbing pain there. And he just stared hard at his uncle.

"You've dared to talk so much uncle!" Uncle Chloe growled. His face flushed out overflowing emotions. "Remember, you'll regret it because it's been the same way uncle!"

Chloe's uncle left Chloe alone there, and the girl could only hold her cheeks reddened by slaps.

"Damn! How the boy knew my plan. I thought my plan would go smoothly if I took care of her," Uncle Chloe thought furiously. After a few steps away from there and leave.

Chloe looked at her uncle's departure, She still rubbed her cheeks and then let out a slow breath.

"I thought my uncle was sincere in taking care of me and my two sisters, but it turned out that there was another plan behind it," Lirih Chloe, Laughter sadly slid from her lips. "From now on I can't trust uncle anymore,"

He kicked a small pebble underneath, then walked away out of the hospital area.

**************

[House, afternoon]

Blam it!

"I'm coming home" Chloe exclaimed, replacing her shoes with dorm sandals. He held a bag of snacks in his hand after stopping by a shopping store.

His red net was staring wildly at the entire room. Very quiet and so silent, No one spoke at all. Well, what she wanted to hope for, the other dorm members must be busy with their respective affairs.

The girl sighed furiously, She approached the sofa and threw herself down there. Put a bag of snacks on the table. His body was so tired, mentally tired as well as physically. The pain from the bruises on her arms and cheeks she still felt. Chloe exhaled again for the umpteenth time.

"Why not just ask Justin for a job?"

Hearing a familiar voice that suddenly answered her complaint, Chloe searched for the origin of the sound.

"Sister Felix?!"

Felix smiled back at Chloe, The man is now standing right in front of the girl. He approached Chloe and sat down next to the girl. Seeing Chloe's tired-looking facial expression made Felix anxious.

"Are you okay?"

"Ah, Yes I'm fine. Just a little tired," The girl smiled fakely covering her tired look. Felix finds out that Chloe lied to him, but the man decides to follow her.

"Did something happen there?"

"No,"

"How's your father doing?"

"Dad said he was feeling better,"

"Thank God,"

"abs...Brother Felix, is it true that Mr. Justin can give you a job like Felix said earlier?"

"Oh it's true, he gave the members here a job so that none of us were idle. Why are you asking me that, you need money?"

Chloe looked down embarrassed and nodded. "Yes, make my father's medical expenses in the hospital,"

Felix was still smiling and patted Chloe's shoulder gently. "You can ask Justin about work, I'm sure he'll give it to you,"

"Thank you, Brother Felix, for his advice" Chloe looked up, A smile on her lips. Felix just nodded in response.

The man's Netra aqua looked at Chloe's face until her gaze stopped on the bruise marks seen on the girl's cheek, Unknowingly her hand outstretched onto Chloe's cheek.

"Your cheeks...Why?"

Chloe flinched as the hand touched her cheek, Suddenly Chloe was nervous as Felix's instant gaze fell on her.

"I-This was accidentally hit by an electric pole, I'm fine brother. Later also lost its mark," Chloe smiled clumsily.

Felix who was initially smiling now became serious. "Bashing into a power pole shouldn't be so bruised,"

Chloe was silent, she was silent at once. But Felix showed a gentle smile.

"Chloe, you're being honest. It's okay, I won't tell the others,"

The girl looked at the netra aqua in front of her, looking for honesty there. Once I feel sure there are no signs of lying. The girl began to recount the true events of her time in the hospital.

Felix listens to Chloe's story patiently, Once in a while her expression turns concerned. Although Felix already knew the incident was the result of seeing from the vidio that Neil gave. But he was more concerned when Chloe herself told him.

After telling the story, Chloe sighed softly. The red net is rolling looking at the floor.

"That's why my cheeks and arms are so bruised,"

Felix pats Chloe's back gently, trying to calm the girl down. "It's okay, as long as you stay here. He's definitely not gonna hurt you even a fingertip,"

Chloe smiled at Felix's comforter's words and then gave a small nod, She also remembered Justin's offer. And intend to go to the man's room.

"Sister Felix, I'll go first yeah,"

"Wait, you take your bruise. Here brother help," Felix held Chloe's shoulder.

Chloe had not had time to say a word, Felix had already climbed up from there and picked up the medicinal equipment in the glass cabinet. Before long the man sat back next to Chloe, now with a cloth filled with ice cubes before.

"No, I can do it myself" The girl was a little confused when the distance of Felix's face was only a little from his face.

The man just smiled he didn't answer and just stuck the cloth on Chloe's cheek.

"Excuse me,"

Chloe grimaced slightly as the cold thing stuck to her cheek. Chloe just realized that Felix's face was very close, so the girl tried to back off a little.

Felix smiled amusedly looking at Chloe's reaction. Realizing that Chloe was uncomfortable, she moved her face a little.

"I'm sorry if it makes you feel uncomfortable. I'm just trying to treat her bruises,"

"Yes, brother,"

"illness?"

"Slightly,"

Feeling enough, Felix moved the cloth to the part of Chloe's arm that also had bruises.

"Did Felix's sister used to be a doctor? Brother treated me so painstakingly," asked Chloe puzzled.

"Not that, it's just that since I was a child I was often injured because I often played outside. That's why my father taught me to heal my own wounds, just in case I get hurt again. So I'm pretty used to it when it comes to cures," explains Felix, still smiling, and Chloe, who only has a beard, hears it.

After treating the girl's bruises, Felix looked back at Chloe.

"How, does it still hurt?"

"It's been light, brother, thank you,"

"Together,"

"Oh yes, I also bought snacks for all the members of the dorm," Chloe offered a bag of snacks that she had just bought.

"Thank you, share it later,"

"Yes, then I'll go first, brother,"

Felix gave a small nod, while Chloe immediately left after saying goodbye to Felix.
