EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 319's

...

The situation was getting more and more complicated, for some reason, not a single citizen approached us, obviously this fight sounded noisy, noisily, the houses around do seem deserted but I can't believe that all this is empty, there must be residents.

It turned out that sooner than I expected, the three of us managed to make them fall in pain, even for Andika though, even though she could still stand up, but she seemed hard to breathe.

“You guys okay??” I asked to look at Lucy and Dika, making sure there were no injuries they got.

Other than the breath of those who were still hunting, these two people nodded in response to my question. They were full of sweat, as was my hot, sweaty face.

Before we could breathe a sigh of relief, Andika who was still able to stand directly lunged forward towards me with determination, her right hand would quickly pierce my stomach.

I'm shocked

When I thought I was going to get hurt, I didn't feel anything. This man's wrist was held by Dika until the tip of the knife stopped in front of my left abdomen.

But Andika's power looks stronger, this time her left hand out of nowhere pulled out another knife larger than her folding knife, will stab me in the stomach as well, and stopped right when the tip had touched me.

Lucy held onto Andika's other wrist with all her might. In the short time that felt this slow motion, I could see clearly that these two people each held Andika's hand that was holding a knife to hurt me.

I blinked, I could hear my own heartbeat, hear my blood flow in this short moment.

Dika hit Andika's front neck to make the man retreat and coughed badly. I thought it was over after paralyzing Andika, but again someone behind me ambushed me with a handkerchief covering my nose and mouth. Pulling me back, forcing me to retreat, away from Dika and Lucy.

I don't know who, this man grabbed me firmly when frantically the scent of the handkerchief was inhaled by me, instantly making my gaze blurry.

I vaguely saw Dika and Lucy coming towards me, but before they moved any further, the grip of this man just slipped off as if something was pulling him firmly from behind.

I feel weak now, my sight and hearing become vaguely unclear, my eyelids forcing me to close. When my legs were no longer able to support my weight, I would immediately fall but I could feel a hand holding my stomach from behind.

This touch was like a relieving sting, the familiar scent of a refreshing mixture of lilac&sandalwood, I calmly leaned my head on his sturdy arm when he was already standing beside me.

The side of her hand that hugged my stomach grew tighter, as if conveying a message that she was very worried about me.

Bayu.

This man did not say anything, but his angry exclamation could not be hidden, “catch everything! Search and check all the houses! Take down anyone who tries to escape! Don't miss anything!”

“Good sir!”

My gaze faintly saw the black-uniformed troops carrying weapons moving in front of me, some gathering the men who had attacked us and some moving to search the houses.

I took a deep breath, trying to eliminate the effects of the dope I had breathed earlier. Then Lucy gave me some mineral water in a bottle, she said in a worried tone, “nyo, you were pushed hard until the sound of the duk sounded, are you okay?”

“I'm fine. Just still shocked.”

“Finely check with the doctor, the power was thrown hard once.” Dika also worried about me, it actually scared me to Bayu because I was hurt.

“When, Lucy, you wait here and make sure they're all caught. I'll take Icha to the hospital.” That's Bayu's voice. I dare not look up to look at him.

“Good sir!”

My eyes could not see the back of Bayu who was receiving the phone, five meters in front of me. He was wearing black pants and a black shirt and a black hat, with a bulletproof vest still on when we got to this hospital.

Earphones in his left ear, a gun and other weapons in his pants pocket. Everyone in the hospital had been watching her since but Bayu was ignoring them, even from the trip to the hospital, the two of us were not talking at all.

I was too scared and guilty with her cold aura whereas Bayu was too busy talking through earphones, I did not want to disturb her.

The anesthetic that had been inhaled earlier, the taste was gone after I took a sip of drinking water, now we are waiting for the test results.

Seeing the busyness of Bayu, I became more and more guilty. I shouldn't have believed it right away and left when I heard Andika's story about her sister. This man had to bring a lot of people to help us.

Or should I hand Andika directly to Bayu as Dika and Lucy used to do. I'm too careless!

My decision bothered everyone, almost hurting Dika and Lucy as well. I want to disappear or dig a hole to hide. Obviously Bayu was angry with me and I was ashamed to have to face him.

“You're a patient named Icha?”

My daydreams crumbled to hear the voice of the man beside me. She was wearing a nurse's shirt and holding a chekup board in her hand.

“Ah yes, I.”

“Lab test result is done, please come with me, doctor is waiting.”

“So fast? It's only ten minutes.” I looked around, although the patient lounge chair was not too crowded, but there were also those waiting for test results like me.

“Yes, the results are out. Come with me there.” He pointed at the passageway behind which led to a quieter passage than the passageway on the other side.

I nodded, immediately stood up and said, “while, I call the man who is there—“

“Doctor said, the results of this test should be discussed together first with the patient. There's something serious going on. Come through here.” Said forcing.

I frowned, astonished and confused, not because of the results I would receive, but because of his statement. Precisely because this is a serious thing, does the doctor always recommend that the family accompany? Moreover, Bayu is already legally legitimate as a family, he is clearly the first person who has the right to know and hear the test results.

“No!!” I took one step back, my gut feeling said there was danger, “are you the nurse of this hospital??”

The expression of this man turned darker and colder, his hands quickly pulling on my wrists until my body was dragged away.

I tried to hold back the hand that wanted to take me. Some patients who were sitting in the waiting row of chairs looked at me in panic and were about to help, but suddenly the man who pulled me pulled out a black gun from his pants pocket.

His expression turned violent with a wild, crazy highlight. He grinned broadly and pointed the gun at my temple with a click that rang out loud in my ear.

DOORR!
