Forced to Marry a Vegetative Man
chapter 9
An incoming call from the hospital shocked Rafael. The old man almost had a heart attack when he found out his favorite grandson had an accident.
Not waiting for long, Rafael immediately moved from his place to the hospital that contacted him.
On the way, the old man prayed that nothing bad would happen to his grandson. Because, in the news two personal guards died on the spot because of the fateful accident.
“Quick find out, what really happened,” Rafael said to his bodyguard who is now on the front bench.
“Good, Mr.”
The car stopped in front of the hospital entrance, Rafael got off in a hurry. His steps were fixed on a woman in nurse clothes.
“Where is a patient named Raiden Russell?” ask Rafael.
“There's in ICU, Sir. For the condition you can ask the doctor.”
“Thank you.”
Rafael steps back until he meets a doctor in front of the ICU entrance. Some questions were asked, about how things are going and what Raiden is going through.
“Mr Raiden had an accident that made his condition unconscious and critical. The back of the head suffered a hard impact to make a concussion. We are still monitoring his condition. For now, the patient has not been found.”
“I'm his grandfather, I'm all he has! Let me see my grandson!” Rafael forced until finally granted permission on condition of wearing sterile clothes from the hospital.
After being ready with his sterile clothes, Rafael goes in and sees Raiden's condition. There were many wounds all over his body, even some parts of his body were wearing casts.
Rafael sighed, seeing that the body was helpless, already making half his life disappear instantly. The old man regretted not preventing Raiden from leaving with his two bodyguards this morning.
There was no other sound in the room other than heart detection. The blood bag continues to drain the red liquid into Raiden's body.
Outside the ICU, Rafael sees Yudith and Laos grieving. In fact, Evan appears present and shows his pretended face to convince Rafael.
The old man came out of the ICU room, meeting those who were there. Yudith grieved and asked Rafael about Raiden's current state.
“How is he doing? Tell her she's okay.”
“Untailah, the doctor said if Raiden had a hard collision until his condition is critical, now .. can only wait for a miracle,” explained Rafael.
“Asataga! Who did? Has the man been arrested?” Yudith asked again as if he wanted the man to be punished.
“Someone said that this accident was purely due to driver error. They say that the person driving the car is sleepy and careless when there is another vehicle in front of him. I'm still investigating.”
“Until when will he fall asleep like that?”
“Nobody knows, neither does the doctor. Currently, Raiden relies on the tools attached to his body. That's it, now that you guys can go, I'll keep my granddaughter here.”
“I'll be here. I want—“
“No need, just go, Yudith! Back to home.”
Hearing the command from Raphael made Yudith a little upset. However, however, she could not refuse it and returned with her husband and Evan—kannya.
After a few days, Rafael has just arrived at the hospital after an important meeting with a client. Rafael sits down and accidentally sees the movement of Raiden's body.
“Raiden, are you aware?”
“Thank God, you're back.”
“Ka-kek?” call Raiden while taking a deep breath.
“Quiet! I'll call doctor—“
Raiden's hand prevents Rafael from calling the doctor. Raiden shook his head and told him a truth.
“The accident was their game. Somebody sabotaged my car, Grandpa. I'm sure it's all Aunt Yudith, it's just that I don't have solid evidence yet.”
“I know.”
Rafael seemed to think for a moment, then plan something with his grandson.
A doctor is called in to listen to Rafael and Raiden's grand plan. The doctor was paid to confess to Raiden's vegetative state. Raiden pretended to prove that Yudith was the culprit.
Under Rafael's orders, they began the charade the next day.
At this time, Rafael and Raiden talk about anything that could make them confess and show the authenticity of the evil nature of Yudith and Laos.
“It looks like they're after my treasure, Grandpa. What are we supposed to do when I pretend?”
“Begini, I will arrange everything so that Yudith and Laos feel threatened by their position. I'll make it seem as if you're giving away all your property to someone else if there's no.”
“Alright, I agree. But, will that lure them?”
“There are other things I want to do as well. I'll tell you later.”
Rafael and Raiden smiled together after making those big plans. They seem ready to take action.
Sure enough, the next day the pale-faced Judith heard what had happened to Raiden. Rafael is really good at playing drama between them.
“Raiden was in a vegetative state, all due to the impact on his brain that was too hard so that his consciousness also decreased. The doctor explained to me, Raiden's body will not be moved, and only his consciousness can be used. Before experiencing this state, he had time to talk about inheritance.”
“What? What's he sayin? Is he going to give his fortune to Evan? Or—“
“No, Yudith. Raiden said he would give his property to the orphanage when he died.”
“A-what? Ba-how can?”
“If you want the property, you need to sign Raiden in a conscious state in front of a lawyer. Or ...” Rafael paused his words to upset Yudith. “... he married a woman and the treasure could have been his last, as you know. The treasure will be safe in this family in the hands of Raiden's wife.”
“Wife? What about Dona?” yudith.
“No, I don't want that woman to be a daughter-in-law in this house! Find another woman or .. You can go to someone who has a debt to this family to marry his son to Raiden. I need someone who can take care of and keep Raiden in this state. You can find him, right?”
“Of course, we will help Raiden to be able to have a compliant wife and take good care of her.”
Yudith smiled and decided to send Laos to someone who owed hundreds of dollars to the FX Group.
“Come to him, I want to see if there is one of them who gave his son as a redeemer.”
After explaining to Yudith and Laos, Raphael went back to meet Raiden and told him that their plan was underway. In a few more days, Raiden will be back home and be watched twenty-four hours by CCTV and Raize for security.
