Two days later Agler left and returned to the Hermes residence, knowing that Kyra had left with her parents, she was quite surprised. The fact that Kyra did not get along well with the rest of Hermes was new to her, but she put that aside because there was something much more important.
He came to meet Jessa with a stale base to ask the news, of course, he was not okay at this time.
"I'm saying this not because I'm on your side, but our closeness makes me believe you're telling the truth" Agler said.
"Thank you, but of course it won't change anything" Jessa said.
"If you let it go, won't Chad retaliate?"
"That's for sure, he loved Joyi more than anyone"
"Are you no problem? being accused of what you never did, don't you want to try to reveal the real culprit?" ask Agler.
"I've thought about it, I think Joyi accidentally stabbed her in the stomach and then met me in a wounded state. At the right moment Chad saw us and misunderstood what he saw"
"Joyi's planned it all?" ask Agler thinking how great Joyi is.
"Let's know, that's just my guess because before I go get a mysterious phone call. Someone said my loved one was in danger and I had to hurry to save him, the guy told me to come up the hill that's why I left"
"Do you know who's calling?"
"The voice is foreign to me" Jessa replied, shaking her head.
Although that's what Jessa believes but Agler doesn't completely agree with her theory, it's because no matter how great Joyi feels the time when Chad found Jessa was very timely.
In addition there are two witnesses whose presence is also ambiguous, he was quite curious what Jack and Ryu did on the hill to be able to find the incident.
Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok
"Yes in" cried Jack from inside his office.
Agler opened the door, looking at Jack sitting in his chair.
"Can I come in?" tanyakanya.
"Of course, come in son" said Jack.
This is the first time Agler entered Jack's room, the room was like a workspace in the office room. The difference is the painting of Roberto Hermes their ancestors, also the extent of which is twice that of the office.
"Good room" praised Agler.
"Thank you, um... Do you have to be with me?"
"Oh yeah" said Agler sitting right in front of Jack.
"It's about Jessa's grandmother" said Agler, which made Jack stiff.
That expression certainly makes Agler more curious, he began to explore information to solve the puzzle of the incident.
"I know Chad didn't get along with this family, especially after this incident I'm afraid his hatred will become even more"
"Yes, that is very dear" said Jack gloomily.
"Therefore, can grandfather help me solve this case? I'm sure Jessa's grandmother is innocent, so we have to find the real culprit" Agler said.
Jack did not answer, his face seemed agitated with a hand playing a pen. That made Agler even more suspicious, especially if there were blisters on the part of Jack's hand that had not previously existed.
"Why with grandpa's hand?" tanyakanya.
"Oh this is okay, grandpa fell in the bathroom because it's slippery."
An unreasonable answer, Agler knew Jack was lying but in order to reveal justice he began to play a show.
"That's what it looks like, then what's grandpa doing on the hill? did Grandpa get a mysterious phone call like Jessa's grandmother?"
"Ah, that. Joyi who called and asked to meet on the hill, she asked grandfather not to let you work in the office to stop competing with Chad" he replied.
"Then?" agler asked while reading Jack's gestures, which he felt were true.
"We had a fight, but after that grandfather decided to leave him and suddenly heard a screaming voice. While searching for the source of the voice Grandpa met Ryu, when the scream came back we found that Joyi was already in a helpless state in Chad's lap" he explained.
Agler nodded, this time there was a bit of a strange gurgle from Jack that made him less sure if it was the real story. He tries to ask Jack's opinion about who the real culprit is, but Jack is silent without any estimates even he also does not think Joyi will do a trap like Jessa thought.
Agler returns to the hospital, accompanying Chad and Alisya who are still unwilling to move on.
Seeing how broken they both heart also hit, although outside Joyi is notoriously cruel and cold but for the two orphans it is their sun.
"Chad... May I ask you something?" tanyakanya.
Hmmmm
Chad without looking away from the white floor.
"What were you doing on the hill at the time?"
There was a sense of sadness that came back from within, making tears sparkle before falling onto the floor.
"Grandmother called me with her phone, her voice trembling with breathless breath. He said someone attacked him, whispering as if afraid someone would find him hiding. He asked for help and shouted, then the phone just died" he said, clearly remembering how the incident happened.
"And you found Jessa's grandmother stabbing her" continued Agler who already knew the end of the story.
"If Alisya had not stopped me, no. If I and Alisya had never met as brothers. I won't have the burden of having to die to avenge this" Chad said, filled with almost explosive anger.
The story makes Agler feel sad, for now all he can do is calm Chad as much as possible in order to stay in his sanity.
"I followed Jessa, I saw her go outside the house in a hurry so I followed her. But when I got to the forest I lost track of it, and when I reached the hill there was the sound of someone screaming. I had a chance to meet my father while searching for the source of the voice, then when the scream came back we got was Aunt Joy was already lying on Chad's lap with serious injuries"
"Do you think Jessa's grandmother really did it?"
"Somehow, they didn't get along in the first place even Joyi had tried to kill Jessa so it could have happened. Especially before she was unconscious, Aunt Joy had pointed and mentioned the name Jessa" he said.
Agler again weighed in, he knew Ryu was one hundred percent honest without subtracting or exaggerating his story. He is also quite neutral without taking anyone's side despite having his own opinion.
"Agler, I know I'm supposed to be a descendant of the original Hermes I didn't say this. But I'm pretty worried about you not knowing how our family has, since the beginning of time, had problems in every generation. This is what keeps me from taking part in the office business and even going to the country family to live peacefully with my new family, if you can you should not interfere too much"
"So you think I should just shut up and watch Chad try to kill one of his family members?" ask Agler.
Ryu paused for a moment, thinking before then returning to talk.
"There's one thing you don't know about your father, when he betrayed his family and one of your uncles named Ken died at your father's hands"
"What...uncle mean?" agler asked as if his hearing was problematic.
"Anna who is none other than the Goddess, she was the owner of the love and affection of the Hermes brothers. Even all of us including your grandfather always spoiled him, we were all willing to do anything for his sake. Until one day when he has to go to the vampire castle for peace we figure out how to get him home safely, that's when Rei accidentally stabs Ken in the vampire castle so Anna can go home" he told a dark story that should never have appeared on the surface.
"He did it for love, Anna actually came home in grief and Ken also willingly sacrificed for Anna's safety. Whatever the reason the Hermes family members are always close to death and the main perpetrator" he continued.
It reminded Agler of Hans' sacrifice, whether he should be proud of the nature of mutual affection beyond the fair word or saddened by unreasonable sacrifices.
"I. pamit first" he said slowly.
His steps gontai bring a sense that is no longer healthy, too many terrible things that make his head continue to work hard.
He returns to the hospital, sitting pensively like a doll between Chad and Alisya.
* * *
Although there is no sign but everyone knows that the room should not be entered carelessly, only doctors and nurses can enter because patients must really rest without being disturbed.
Indeed, the current state of Joyi is much better, he can be looked at even if only briefly and that is for one person. Alisya and Chad have taken turns to visit, in a short time they can do in just praying for the recovery of Joyi.
But what they do not know is the presence of other visitors, someone whose presence is not detected even by vampires.
He entered through the gap like an invisible wind, his cold caress woke Joyi from her long slumber. With not good enough vision, Joyi looked at the figure who showed her face, smiling at her and displaying a row of clean white teeth.
"You're lucky, I won't hurt you more than this" he whispered in a voice that draped like a flute.
Uh....
Joyi groaned, feeling pain all over her body especially the abdomen that was still in the bandage.
Long enough the figure stood there, watching how Joyi acted upon her pain and inability to move.
"Who.
"I was the one who stabbed you" he replied.
Joyi was about to ask again but her strength was exhausted, the last thing she could see was that the figure moved around her before it was lost in the darkness.
* * *
The air outside was too cold to freeze his body into an ice sculpture, but Jack did not want to leave. He was still there with fear that became a nightmare in his mind, the incident that happened to Joyi did not allow him to breathe calmly.
One thing he did not tell Agler was that the quarrel between him and Joyi was more than just a fight, at that time they had a power fight until Jack got a blister wound on his hand.
Word for word that said Joyi too stirred his emotions until his calm was torn, he attacked blindly like a madman.
Although only an ordinary human but Joyi has the ability to protect himself from Jack's attack, but that does not mean he just survived.
In one calculated attack Jack reached out where the dagger he held with all his might, not to lose Joyi also took a swing to prepare to receive an attack.
Facing each other, Jack managed to get closer until the dagger was right leading to the belly of Joyi. In one attack he stuck the dagger in Joyi's stomach, along with Joei's punch that hit Jack's head causing him to lose consciousness.
As he awakens the blood is already strewn over the dry foliage, trying to find the whereabouts of Joyi which he finds is a slander to Jessa who knows nothing.
Now he regretted, he should not be carried away by emotions to hurt Joyi because in the end it triggered a rift in his family that was getting worse.
"What should I do?" his mummy asked the night wind.
If he admits it, his chance to bring Chad home is gone, but he also cannot pile responsibility on Jessa.
"Dad" called Shigima to surprise him.
"Oh son, you're making me shocked" he said, rubbing his chest.
"What did you do in the middle of the night?"
"Nothing, I just can't sleep and try to walk around for a while"
"Must be the accident makes me think, please do not worry too much.it is not good for the health of the father" said Shigima who is always sensitive to Jack's feelings.
Only a small smile can Jack show, he does not know what to say because at this time he is not okay.
"Let's make warm milk, if you drink it you will soon be sleepy" he asked.
"Well, " said Jack following Shigima's steps back into the house.
