Rico looked at Arion with a probing look, as if to ask for an explanation from the man. Papi then threw his face away.
"One more thing I want to say about the patient" said the doctor.
"Why Karen, Doc?" rico asked enthusiastically, afraid that something might happen to the woman.
Arion is also curious to find out what happened to Karen. From earlier on, the middle-aged man's heart was actually very agitated. Fear of bad things happening to that woman.
"From a temporary examination and we have also done USG, it can be concluded if the patient is currently pregnant" said the doctor.
Not only did the doctor's words make Arion shocked, Rico was no less surprised to know that fact. She knew, the first one to come into contact with Karen was her. Karen once said that she had never had sex with Arion, so it was likely her seed, thought Rico.
Rico seemed to smile happily at the doctor's words, in contrast to Arion. Her face instantly changed when she found out Karen was pregnant at this time. His clenched hands held back the anger.
Arion could not accept the reality he was hearing at the moment. She has never had sex with Karen, why did she get pregnant?
"What about the baby, Doc? Is it okay?" ask Rico enthusiastically.
"At this time the baby is still no problem. However, I also cannot guarantee the future."
Rico approached the doctor. Clenching his hands together, the man pleaded with the doctor.
"Doctor, please save them both. Do all the best for both" Rico said in a clear voice.
"We will do our best, as we can. I pray that everything goes well and well. The patient recovered quickly" the doctor said.
Arion was silent, not knowing what he was going to say. Seeing Rico enthusiastically asking about Karen's pregnancy, she had guessed if the man was the father of the fetus that Karen was conceived in.
Without the man guessing, Arion's hand raised slapped her cheek violently. So that makes Rico staggered because he was not ready to receive an attack from his Papi.
Rico holds his burning cheek, a former slap of Arion. The man stood up straight again and challenged Arion.
"Why did Papi slap me?" asked Rico with a cynical smile. Not that guy's stupid. She knew at this moment her Papa felt betrayed.
Rico is not as ungrateful as Arion says, but his love for Karen has made him forget the logic that what he has done with Karen is forbidden. He knows all this is wrong.
"I'm sorry for disappointing Papi. Now Papi knows the truth. I want Papi to let go and divorce Karen immediately. She's pregnant with my son" Rico said.
"Do you think I'm just gonna let Karen go?" ask Arion.
"What does Papi mean? Why still love.keep Karen? Didn't Papi hear for himself that right now my seed is growing in Karen's womb!" rico is full of emphasis.
She understood that her Papa was angry and disappointed after knowing all this reality. However, he would also not be able to return everything that had happened.
If Rico was in his Papi's position, maybe he would have done the same, disappointed and angry at being betrayed by the people closest to us.
"Pi, I know at this time Papi was disappointed to know I had betrayed Papi. But please, let Karen go. Karen and I love each other. Why else would Papi defend this marriage" Rico said in a pleading voice.
"For you and Karen to suffer and regret for betraying me!" arion said in a flat voice.
