EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 48's

...

“KAU—“

“Mike stop!” The big boss seemed to be mediating the quarrel of the two men. Mike had to step back.

“Stop all this Mike! Rio's right, you should bring an adult instead of a child if you can't handle it!” The big boss looked annoyed looking at Mike.

“Eject them!” The man's orders. I immediately carried Sari again and stepped towards the side of the river. Two

guys helped me up.

I don't know what happened to Bayu, Mike and the big boss because I had to get there

storeroom. Looking for a warm place.

The night air was very cold, Sari was already shivering in my arms. Once we got to the warehouse, Gia and the other children were already there.

“What happened?” Gia looked at Sari worriedly.

“I request dry clothes and warm drinking water. Fast!” I screamed in panic at the two bodyguards who were driving me. One of them immediately ran to get it and I laid Sari down because I felt the girl's breath was very heavy. His eyes were closed but he looked conscious.

“Let me check.”

“You doctor?” I can't believe I'm staring at Gia.

“I'm in nursing college. Still semester three.” I nodded, at least Gia can check what we have to do for Sari to be better.

After checking her pulse and eyes, Gia looked at me worriedly. “She's dehydrated and feverish. His pulse is unstable. We have to take him to the hospital to be given an infusion.”

“Hospital away from here. We have to get out of the forest first.” The male voice answered Gia's question. One of the men who had gone to get dry clothes and warm drinking water had returned.

He handed me a blanket, a jacket and some clothes as well as warm drinking water in a glass.

“Close the door.” I said to both.

Those who understood immediately closed the door of this warehouse and Gia immediately opened the wet Sari clothes to be replaced with dry clothes. Afterwards we covered this girl to make her warmer.

The other kids seemed to be watching us. Thankfully, they were not crying anymore. “We have to warm it up again. Here not warm enough.” Gia's words panic me.

“Ka Icha's. You're wounded. You better treat it first and change clothes immediately.” Gia resuscitated me who was still soaking wet. I, who was also cold, grabbed the shawl that the man had brought and was about to wrap it around his shoulder but I had to grimace slowly considering my left hand was in pain and hard to lift.

Gia who understood helped me to wrap this cloth around my shoulders and body. My teeth that were bluffing the omen were very coldly approving of Gia's words earlier. I think I need a warmer place than this, too.

“We better come into the house of the citizens here.” My proposal was to stand up to call the guard outside the door,

my eyes caught the little bag that belonged to Doctor Cilia. From the beginning I purposely carried this bag over my bag because I knew Cilia's doctor always carried her special medicines in her bag. Then he had mentioned about him infusing me on the train.

“What does this infusion help?” I asked Gia while taking out the infusion bag with the clear liquid on

within it.

This girl came up to me and checked. His face was radiant and excited. “Wah Ka Icha doctor?”

“Not. That's my friend's bag. I accidentally brought it earlier.”

Then I handed over the package of the infusion hose along with the new injection to Gia so that she would immediately infuse Sari.

“Ka Icha bring Sari to find a warm place. I'll take care of the kids here.” Gia's proposal after that liquid

“Pulse pulse has started to stabilize. He's just cold now. Make sure this infusion runs out.” I nodded slowly hearing his words.

…

I opened my eyes when a while ago closed to relieve dizziness that made my vision turn. To fall asleep for a while was uncomfortable even though I was already warm enough inside this simple house.

Several times I fell asleep and woke up again, and so on until the next few hours.

The occupants of the house had actually been sleeping while I was carrying Sari and they allowed us to spend the night here with a guard outside of course.

Luckily, the woman who owned this house lent me blankets, pants and clothes so that now my wet clothes have been dried tonight. Winding this blanket all over my body, I repeatedly checked the infusion and body temperature of Sari who was fast asleep beside me.

My left hand that is difficult to move is enough to make me troubled since earlier. Fortunately I had covered this gunshot wound on my shoulder with bandages and medicine from Cilia's doctor's pocket and hoped it wouldn't be infected.

Then I remembered the incident in the river earlier, finding a cell phone. Immediately I took it out and glanced at the door where the guard was standing. Although it was blocked by this wooden wall but I had to make sure it wasn't discovered.

The phone in my hand is my own phone. After drying it, I tried to turn it back on. It took a few tries but finally my phone can come back on.

Lots of missed calls from Cilia doctors of course. But I was actually curious about the message that Bayu might send turned out to be nonexistent. The last time the man sent me a message was two days ago.

I only sighed in disappointment and immediately replied to a message for Doctor Cilia, saying that I have not been able to get out of this place. After that I went back to hiding my phone did not forget to make sure the silent mode.

When I closed my eyes again, the noise from the outside distracted me. I who was sitting leaning back wanted to get up to see but again my head was dizzy, my body was limp as if it had no energy.

My breath felt heavy and my eyelids could not bear to keep it open.

DOR!!

This time the sound of gunfire was heard in the air, not just one shot but in the aftermath of other shots. The noise was getting louder.

“What happened?” It was the voice of the man standing guard inside the door.

“There's intruders!”

“What?! Who??”?

“We were invaded by soldiers! You know Rio? He is a soldier! He's intruder! The boss ordered us to

kill him no matter what!”

I gasped in shock, my heart was beating so fast and I felt the cold heat. I didn't know what the man was doing until his cover was revealed, but I still remember him saying that help was coming tonight. I almost forgot about it!

If help has come, then I should hurry out of this place. At least during the rescue, Sari

must come with them.

With the energy still left, I tried to clear all my things, I was also forced to return to wearing my clothes even though it still felt cold but not as wet as before.
