Make Me His Substitute
Not an Additional Chapter
"Don't lie. If you don't do anything, there's no way you're gonna get into this room." Accuse Edgar.
"Edgar, I really didn't do anything." Ghina answered convincingly.
Edgar stared flat at the face of his co-worker. Without answering Ghina's words again, Edgar chose to go into the room to make sure Lara was okay.
Ghina, who was left behind by Edgar, clenched her hands together. "What is more that little woman than I am that Edgar looks so dear and worried about her!" The grunt in the heart.
Edgar who had now entered the room looked at his wife's smiling face looking at his arrival.
"Why did Edgar come in here again. Not checking the patient?" Ask Lara.
Edgar shook his head as he stepped closer to the bed. "I'm worried about you. My assistant told me that he looked inside this room. Now let's say, what purpose did Ghina have in this room?"
Lara shook her head. "There's no purpose, brother. Brother Ghina just wants to see Lara."
Edgar certainly did not believe it immediately. It is also impossible for Ghina to be so friendly to Lara she just met.
"Here you go, sister, there's no need to worry about Lara that much. It's better now that Brother's back in the study because Lara wants to sleep." Dismissed.
Edgar took a deep breath. Wanting to interrogate his wife further it seemed Edgar could not bear to see Lara who looked sleepy.
"All right, then I'll go first. But remember, let me know if you need help or something."
Lara nodded her head then shook her hands in the air to drive Edgar away.

As Lara grew older, Edgar's protective attitude toward Lara grew. Do not want the wife moves to do anything, including just preparing breakfast for her. Edgar completely hands over the whole housework to the maid and reminds Lara not to do the slightest work.
Not only that, Edgar did not even let Lara go to campus using an online taxi service. He chose to take his wife home and go to college. If he can't, then the driver he just worked for is assigned to pick Lara up.
"You're so lucky to have a husband like Doctor Edgar, Lara." Praise Sherly to Lara while they're eating in the cafeteria that afternoon.
Lara developed a smile. He nodded in affirming Sherly's words. "Yes. I feel very lucky."
The people who heard it were relieved. Because, the woman he still loves is happy with his marriage and has a life partner who can take care of Lara well.
In the middle of their conversation, we heard the female students criticize Celine's current state of concern.
"I heard that in addition to dropping out of college, his life is also hanging right now. From some information circulating, he said Celine now lives in a small and shabby rented house."
Lara can hear clearly her friends' talk about her stepbrother. And just hearing their story had made Lara's heart ache to hear it.
"At a time when I was living happily with Brother Edgar, on the other hand Brother Celine was struggling for her life. Celine's sister was even dismissed from college for not being able to pay her tuition anymore." Lara murmured inwardly feeling concerned.
