EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 175's

...

I was also saddened to see how the man was crying, some have said that someone would get sicker and lose when a precious person died suddenly

“I shouldn't have let him into that cursed room! I shouldn't have forced her to go to the hospital! I will sue you and the people who handled it!” The man shouted loudly and managed to get the attention of others.

“Master, you can explain about the cause of the wound. It could be something dangerous. There's something strange with luka—“

“Job! Stop asking about his wound!!” I was shocked as soon as the man hit the doctor's jaw in front of him until he fell.

The sisters and the people who were watching them screamed stifled as soon as the man wanted to hit again but the other man who had been beside him since earlier immediately held him back.

Two security officers whose faces were familiar to me had approached them and were trying to break up the quarrel.

“It looks serious.” The sound of Bayu sounding close behind me made me gasp in shock. I looked behind Bayu, looking for Benny.

“She's gone.” Saying without hearing my question.

“Come back.” Invite Bayu to take over the infusion pole that I have held in my right hand since.

I nodded and immediately followed her towards the elevator door that was still closed. The man pushed the button up, and we both waited for the elevator door to open.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, the three hospital employees inside immediately exited. Bayu held the door so that I could enter first then next Bayu also entered and pressed the number button that showed the floor we were headed.

Just as the door was about to close, someone's hand held it from the outside until the elevator door opened again.

The two men I saw fighting with the doctor stepped into the elevator. The man who was crying and hitting the doctor was standing next to me.

These two men briefly glanced at us and spoke nothing. I could see clearly that the face of the man who was crying looked red with wet cheeks.

“How? Already got the results?” Ask the man who is crying.

“Already. As we thought, everything has something to do with those people.” Answer the man who accompanied her.

“Urus funeral Ria, I will directly visit her parents' house to inform about their daughter after this.”

“Good, I will ask the driver to prepare the car immediately.”

I glanced at Bayu at a glance, this man also seemed to be the same, was secretly hearing it. Bayu looked down, looked back at me and then his hand raised touching the top of my head while rubbing it slowly.

“We must ask doctor Stefan to replace the infusion, it is almost out.” Sayu touched the infusion bag whose contents were completely depleted. There is only liquid left in the hose.

“I didn't realize it was over.” Answer nodded.

“Oh yes I just remembered, how was Grandpa when we left him at that time. I even only met him a few seconds.” I asked about the grandfather who helped us on the run.

An old man who Bayu already considered as his grandfather.

“She's good. No one dared to touch him when Leonardo's grandfather was in his territory.” Answer Bayu looks happy.

“Thank God, then sometime we should visit it again.” This man answered me.

Then the sound of mobile phone vibration from the pocket of Bayu pants averted my eyes. He immediately reached into it and saw the name on the phone screen.

It was from Benny.

“Oy, why? Is there forgetfulness?” Bayu greeted cheerfully when the flat object was already stuck in his left ear.

“Yes, we are already in the elevator, heading to the floor—wait a minute.” Bayu's serious voice made my gaze return to him.

This man slightly advanced his body to reach for the number keys, as he watched the screen above him.

“What number does not move?” Bayu turned around asking me.

I frowned shaking not knowing. “I didn't notice it.”

“True, the number has not moved since earlier.” Another voice answered Bayu's question, the man wearing a neat suit accompanying the crying man.

The man also tried to push the number button.

Then suddenly a small shock made the lights inside the elevator flicker.

I felt Bayu's free right hand protecting me, leading me into his embrace.

“What's this!” The man who was crying asked annoyedly while pressing the elevator button impatiently.

I looked up again at the small screen showing the destination floor to take us unchanged, still on the 2nd floor.

But surprisingly, the number and direction of his arrow changed towards the bottom floor of the hospital.

“Basement?? Yeah, the elevator suddenly took us to the basement. Okay. See you.” Bayu disconnects and immediately puts his phone back in his pants pocket.

The elevator moved down which made the two men beside us wonder.

“My friend said he saw a bunch of gunmen heading to the basement. This elevator seems to be sabotaged for us to move down.” Bayu's words made him shocked of course.

This man looked at the two men before us seriously.

“What?! Who are they?” Ask the crying man.

“I don't know, but please retreat immediately, if they do intend to ambush this elevator, I will fight them first.” Said again.

I know, Bayu can't explain to the two men that most likely the gunmen are after us.

Bayu looked down, looked at me and pulled my right hand which was still in the infusion needle.

“Sorry.” Whispers slowly.

I did not expect Bayu to immediately release the infusion needle until now the back of my hand is no longer connected to the hose. There were drops of blood coming out from there but Bayu immediately pressed the origin point of the blood with his thumb.

“Stay behind me, don't even think about moving that kick.” Bayu warned me seriously.

At a time like this I don't want to argue and just nod.

The crying man was standing next to me while the other man was standing next to Bayu in front of us.

Our eyes noticed the change in numbers on the small screen above the door, signaling the elevator was moving down without stopping.

As soon as the numbers were on the bottom floor, the basement, the vibration in the elevator stopped and we were both waiting for the elevator door to open.

Ting!

The door opened slowly, my heart was beating and silently I was hiding behind Bayu's back.

A group of men were waiting for us at the door. The men were all wearing black clothes with masks covering part of their faces. In their hands, each carried a folding knife and a baseball bat.
