Doctor Meets CEO
Perturbed
Joshua hugged Savana so tightly. Ameera's words about everything that happened before Savana aborted her womb, ringing in Joshua's brain. Even the most painful, Savana had to borrow money just to check their contents, while she assumed Savana was only pretending to change in order to reach her sympathy.
When Joshua hugged her, Savana was not happy, this hug was so painful, when in the past she always wanted to be embraced by her husband. Though he always wanted Joshua to be warm to him, but for some reason now what Joshua did seemed free. The pain Savana felt seemed to have been ingrained.
"Uncle," called Savana, desperately trying not to cry until Joshua immediately let go of his embrace.
"Why don't you eat at the apartment? Kan, there's a chef there" Joshua said. He couldn't possibly tell the truth that he knew about Savana working as a dishwasher at the restaurant, because if he asked, he said, it would hurt Savana's self-esteem and he didn't want Savana getting hurt.
"Oh, I was hungry" replied Savana.
"Yes let's go home" Joshua asked.
Not only Savana who tried to hold back his crying, Joshua also so. Afterwards, Joshua gently pulled Savana's hand to walk towards the car.
Joshua opened the car door for his wife making Savana frown. Not usually Joshua like this, including when the hug was. But before long, Savana shook her head. He doesn't want to think much.
Joshua went into the chair, and the man put on his seatbelt, and Savana leaned back and looked at the window.
Savana grimaced as she felt her stomach growling. He also felt his body was helpless, because he had just felt a very heavy job, where this was the first time he worked. From work earlier, Savana endured the pain in her stomach just for the sake of meager money, but the money meant for her to go to college.
After a long journey, finally the car driven by Joshua reached the basement. Savana gets out of the car ahead of Joshua. Then Joshua followed Savana, until now Joshua stood walking behind his wife. When looking at Savana from behind, Joshua's heart slashed again when he realized that Savana's body looked very thin.
Arriving at their apartment unit, Savana is walking first waiting for Joshua to approach, of course to open the apartment code. Honestly since that incident, Savana really lost her confidence so she did not dare to enter because this apartment belonged to Joshua.
Savannah's attitude is not excessive. He was just more self-aware and did not want to get hurt. Joshua might one day throw him out, even more so maybe Joshua knows that he's just a servant boy.
Just yesterday when Joshua didn't know he was a servant boy, Joshua treated him as he pleased, then how are you doing now?
Joshua looked at Savana. "Why don't you push the code?" ask Joshua.
"Uncle," replied Savana.
Joshua did not ask any more. He immediately moved his hand to press the code, until the door opened and after that Joshua entered followed by Savana who was behind him.
"You want to get some rest?" ask Joshua.
Savana. "Yes, Uncle" he answered.
Just as Savana was about to turn around, Joshua called back to Savana until Savana turned his head. "Yes, Uncle?" saith.
Joshua did not answer. He stared fixedly at Savana. Supposedly, this woman in front of him was rampaging at him. Supposedly, his wife cursed him. But look, Savana is acting like this and that makes Joshua crowded.
"No, I just restarted almond milk for you" Joshua said suddenly until Savana nodded.
"Thank you" he replied, because Savana really had no power. Savana decided to take a box of almond milk. He wanted to enjoy it before he fell asleep.
After Savana goes to the kitchen and goes to her room, Joshua is still quiet on the spot. The instantaneous confinement instantly melted him. He was at a loss to start atoning for his mistakes from nowhere, whereas he was sure Savana was behaving like this to build a real barrier with him.
***
Savana kept the almond milk she was holding then the woman walked limply to the closet, then picked up the clothes and replaced them. So weak Savana, today the woman decided not to take a bath because she had completely lost her energy.
Savanna sat on the floor leaning her body against the bed, and then bent her legs. He sipped the almond milk held with a gaze that looked straight ahead, in one hand holding a USG paper he always kept that reminded him of the child.
'Son, it seems like Mommy's decision was right yesterday. If you're forced to live, you'll be ashamed to have a mother like Mommy who can't do anything. We could have been expelled and disowned by your father.' Savana. No matter how much she held back from crying, in the end her cries were shed as well.
Time shows at three in the morning.
Joshua went into Savana's room. He could not fall asleep thinking about his wife, thinking about how he could make up for everything, thinking about how he could make the Savana go back to its original state and when the anxiety became more intense, in the end Joshua immediately approached the wife.
Joshua sat down next to Savana. He stared at Savana's face fixedly. He only realized that Savanna was so beautiful, even though her cheeks were so thin.
'Just drop the kid!'
Joshua closed his eyes when his words to Savana hit his brain again. He was just injured, what about Savana who clearly received that remark from him?
Before long, Joshua grimaced when he saw Savana's reddened and swollen hands, because it was Savana's job really confiscated his energy and because Savana was not used to working like that, until his hands immediately swollen. Even before falling asleep, Savana continued to soak her hands with warm water, hoping for pain and soreness to decrease. But apparently, it was all in vain and in the end Savana just fell asleep an hour ago.
The night changed in the morning.
Savannah woke up from her sleep. He frowned when he felt the weight on his head. He touched his forehead then lifted the object from his forehead, it turned out to be a towel and apparently unknowingly, Savana had a fever.
At first Joshua does not realize that Savana's body is hot and when it will rise, Joshua accidentally fingered Savana's hands are very hot, and he knows Savana fever until he immediately compresses his wife's forehead.
