Currently, Adelardo was standing in front of the mirror in the toilet and he stared at the reflection of the face in the mirror after washing his face. It really looks really sad.
"I have to protect Arsenio because she could be defeated by Nick who is united with his father and is none other than my own brother. Arsenio's strength was his son and wife, but it was at once a weakness the enemy could exploit."
"It would be better if Aeleasha and Arza were not here because they would only be hurt by greedy people. What am I supposed to do now?"
Adelardo is currently silent for a moment and feels confused what to do to protect Arsenio. He doesn't think of himself at all. The conversation was clear. That the father and son were plotting something evil on him to get rid of him.
However, as his life was only a few months away, so it did not scare him at all.
"I have to tell Aeleasha? He should know what happened to Arsenio. That everything that happened was a ruse from Nick. Hopefully my son-in-law can understand Arsenio's current position."
Adelardo had already walked towards the exit and returned to the operating room. He again landed his body on the chair and stared at the door that was still closed.
Until he chose to relax his tired eyes to just calm the mind.
Half an hour had passed and he heard the baritone voice of someone he deeply memorized and made it feel like he had been pierced by a sharp spear once he opened his eyes.
"Brothers!" exclaimed the figure of a man who was currently sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed by a woman.
A smile full of falsehoods was captured by Adelardo at this time when the married couple who were his sister and brother-in-law came closer.
He was calm and chose to follow the path created by his brother. "You guys are here apparently. Is Nick okay?"
While the man who was sitting in a wheelchair, was currently reviewing a smile on his brother. "I'm sorry for my son, brother. Nick was wrong, but don't let him end up in jail."
"Nick is my only son. If until he is imprisoned for committing an error, the good name of our big family can be polluted. Forgive Nick, Brother. Didn't you love him so much?"
The man chose to stand up from the wheelchair and kneel before his brother. He lowered his self-esteem to keep his son from going to jail.
Moreover, there were police who interrogated his son once transferred to the best room in the hospital.
While the woman named Angeline Kyle who is the wife who is holding back the anger and anger that erupted in the heart when she saw her husband was kneeling.
'If it were not for my son's sake, how could I have been strong to see my husband's act of willingly lowering his pride in front of that crazy old man,' angeline who is currently staring at the figure of a man who immediately told her husband to stand up again.
"I've forgiven Nick. So, don't lower your pride in front of me like that." Adelardo is currently patting the shoulder that is not as strong as before because his brother has been sickly for a long time.
In the past, he thought he was a man with a healthy lifestyle and never got sick. However, he never expected when suddenly convicted with brain cancer. Certainly worse than his sister who failed kidney and heart.
'Stupid basic! I never thought it would be so easy to change his decision. Just thinking about getting rid of him and also the useless foster child, ' he muttered that currently looked sparkling.
However, he never expected that the smile on his lips faded as soon as he heard the statement from the brother that made him feel so emotional.
"I've forgiven Nick, but he still has to take responsibility for his actions. The law can't be finished with just an apology, can it? You're not a kid I should explain to you about accountability."
Adelardo was a man who upheld the values of the law and he could never tolerate anyone who made a big mistake.
Although he pretends to know nothing, but for the case related to the company and Arsenio's good name involving many people, it must be resolved by involving law enforcement. Moreover, the woman who has been brought by the police will testify that the one who told was Nick.
"Did you not love or be merciful to your own niece at all, Brother? Didn't you love him so much?"
"Then the arrival of the man named Arsenio, made you change. It seems that you have received incitement from your adopted son to antagonize us" said Fernando, who is currently very angry because he did not manage to escape his son from the law.
Still as usual, Adelardo looks calm because he does not want to be provoked by emotions. He actually felt like a fool when dealing with his brother because he acted as a person who knew nothing about crime.
"It's because I love Nick so much. So, I did this to him. Perhaps, by feeling the coldness of the prison cell, he could turn into a good person."
"As good parents, shouldn't we be responsible for making successful offspring from all aspects? If left unchecked, Nick could be ruined because he likes to drink alcohol, gamble and many other vices."
Right now, Adelardo is saying it all because he wants his sister to realize that the way they indulged Nick was wrong, so that he got the man lost.
"Nick is currently lost and it is our duty to take him back to the good path."
The figure of the father was currently just silent and hid his wrath, but not for Angeline who instantly blew up the anger.
"What, Brother? Getting lost? Aren't you the one who's lost right now? You're more defending strangers who have nothing to do with family. Encouraging Nick to do all this. Does Brother not know at all if Nick did all this because of what you did?"
The husband's reflex is now directly pulling the wife's right wrist. Of course he does not want if the plan that has been carefully prepared, confused.
"Darling! Don't be disrespectful to Brother!"
"You better shut up!" the circus Angeline who was currently staring was annoyed at the figure of the man who was still sitting in the wheelchair.
