EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 169's

...

Just five minutes I spent lunch delivered by the hospital staff shortly after I woke up.

My spirit to heal was so burning, even though her stitch wound was still throbbing pain but not as bad as it was this morning.

After finishing lunch, I went to the bathroom to wash my face, clean myself and put on a little makeup so that my face was not too pale and horrible.

After all, every woman wants to look beautiful in front of her boyfriend as well as me.

Just as I came out of the bathroom, someone opened the door and stepped in.

“Oh Miss Icha! You've finished your lunch.” Sister Rini exclaimed as her eyes caught the lunch I had just spent on the sofa table.

“Of course sus, I want to heal quickly!” Reply spirit.

Sister Rini nodded back laughing at me. “I'll give you pain medication.”

I immediately sat down again on the sofa carrying an infusion pole. This woman in front of me gave me tablets and drinking water.

“Thank you.”

“Do misses need anything?” Bargain sister Rini.

“No. I'll take a walk around here.”

“Alright then.” After answering, sister Rini resigned herself and came out of the room.

Then there was the vibration of my phone on the glass table in front of me, seeing the screen at a glance I smiled a little, it was a long time ago Bella did not call me.

“Halo Bell!” Sapaku answered the call from my friend as he stepped closer to the door, intending to chat outside.

..

…

“OK. Call me if there's anything. See you later.” I disconnected from Bela after we talked and told her that Mia and Kesha wanted the four of us to meet.

I didn't realize that my footsteps were taking me outside the hallway of the treatment room, now I'm near the elevator and the stairs. This afternoon the hospital was crowded, what happened to the traffic accident?

My gaze scattered downstairs, looking up like this I could clearly see the people passing by in the corridors of each floor as well as the ground floor which was crowded with patients waiting.

Then my eyes saw a beautiful woman pass through a glass door that opened automatically on the ground floor, the woman who made the people she passed glanced at her.

Professor Bora's.

Prof Bora stopped holding a nurse to talk for a while and continued walking toward the elevator that had been waiting for many people in front of him. But I was aware of something, the woman in high heels didn't seem to realize anyone was following her.

A man dressed all in black, wearing glasses and a hat that covered half of his face. I couldn't see who it was but every time prof Bora stopped, the man also stopped then quietly watched the woman leave and followed her back.

Maybe it was just my feelings?

Maybe he'll see Stefan's doctor. At least Prof. Bora will be taken care of by her fiance and the man who follows her will no longer dare to be close to the woman.

But my eyes saw the elevator door that opened on my floor open, there prof Bora stepped out with the man and everyone else.

My guess is that she's getting more convinced that she's being followed because the guy always keeps his distance but keeps his eye on prof Bora's movements.

The woman had not seen me hiding near the wall but her steps were getting closer towards me.

Or maybe the guy was the one who wanted to protect the prof. Bora is like Bayu who once asked the police officer to look after me not far from my perspective?

Now rather than thinking things through, I should ask prof Bora directly.

I came out of my hiding place, pretending to walk slowly not far in front of the prof. Bora. While pushing the infusion pole I was carrying, I waited until the woman recognized me.

As I expected, I felt a soft pat on my back, as soon as prof Bora turned around already smiling broadly at me.

“Oh right Icha! I barely recognized you because of his patient shirt.” Said happy.

“Prof Bora? Want to see Doctor Stefan?”

“My initial intention here was to visit you, I had made a deal with Talia but she was having lunch so I went to see you first. Then how are you doing? Why exit the room?” Profs. Bora explained while seizing the infusion pole that I carried in my right hand.

“I'm good prof and just being bored.” I replied as if, glancing back and seeing the man pretending to look at the brochure nearby.

“By the way prof. Is someone looking after you? Doctor Stefan hired a bodyguard to keep an eye on you?” I whispered softly, keep acting normal.

This woman with fine hair falling down on her back glanced at me while frowning in wonder. “No, ken—“

“Sstt.. Act normal prof.” I'm sorry prof. Bora was about to duck down and wanted to whisper stealthily with me but it didn't. He re-strapped his body while stepping beside me.

“So I saw since prof. Bora entered through the door on the ground floor, the man in the hat behind followed you since earlier.” I said.

“To make sure, let's go back to my room, if he does follow prof Bora, he will definitely be around the room and let Bayu take care of him when he will come back later.” I said again who was immediately nodding Prof. Bora.

The two of us continued our steps into the corridor where my room was while the two of us had a brief chat. My hand quickly typed a message to Bayu about prof Bora's state and the person who followed her.

When we finished, we were already at the door of the room, about to open it but my hand stopped because of the incoming message.

Bayu replied to my message quickly. “We better wait outside.”

I invited her to sit on the chair next to my room door after reading the contents of her reply. Without saying much, prof Bora followed my words and we sat side by side.

I looked around, intending to see the stalker again. The man had seen me but he quickly turned to face the podium where the sisters were and pretended to concern himself with the papers on the table.

“You know him, prof?” I asked because prof. Bora was also looking in the same direction as me.

“I can't remember. Maybe he was my student? But look foreign.” Confused answer.

Then my eyes saw in the distance Bayu and his three friends added Talia entered this corridor. They came so fast, was it possible that I interrupted their lunch?

With a relaxed motion, Bayu and Ronald were already standing on either side of the stalker as soon as they arrived nearby. For a moment, the man panicked but Ronald embraced the man while Bayu whispered something that instantly kept him quiet.

They all walked up to us with the stalker looking down in fear.
