"You must love her very much, sir" Sister Brown said.
"I do love her." replied Toni bitterly.
His gaze flashed as he told his feelings to an unknown person. Meanwhile the feeling of defeat and failure continued to lurk within his chest. He has failed to take care of the people he loves.
Sister Brown smiled, trying to understand what Toni was feeling right now. "Calm down, sir. Your wife will soon be conscious. While waiting, please make sure you eat something. I don't want to see you pass out later."
Toni could only nod. "OKAY. Thanks." Thanks." He turned around and stepped out of the room.
Sister Brown looked at Toni's wide back. The guy looks messy. Her knuckles looked bruised and bloody, but she refused to be treated. The pain in his hand was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.
It seems like this man needs help too. He looks very shaken. Sister Brown rushed after Toni.
"Sir." call him.
Toni. "Yes?"
Sister Brown took something out of her pocket, and slipped it into Toni's hand. "Eat. You must be strong for your wife." He patted Toni's shoulder hangt, like a mother patting her son's shoulder.
Toni was glued to the spot, staring at Sister Brown walking back to the guard post. He lowered his head to see what the kind-hearted sister had given him.
A protein bar.
His hands shook and his vision blurred, Toni's emotions bursting. There are always good people in every difficult situation.

Toni.
The first word that popped into Eliana's mind as she came to her senses was Toni. Eliana opened her eyes and said softly. "Toni..."
Sister Brown, who happened to be checking her condition, smiled, she approached Eliana and greeted her kindly.
"Hello, Honey. I'm Sister Brown. Do you remember what your name is?"
Eliana's eyeballs move towards Sister Brown. "My name is Eliana. Eliana Gracia um... Peterson. Eliana Peterson's."
Sister Brown smiled with relief. "You mentioned someone's name. Toni. Who's she?" he asked again, trying to test Eliana's memory.
Who's Toni? He used to call Toni friends, brothers and sisters. They used to live together. Now, he's my man. My love's. And they just got married.
"Husbandi. He is my husband." answered Eliana.
"Congratulations! I've also heard that you're a newlywed." Sister Brown's voice sounded cheerful and happy.
Eliana's lips curled upwards, responding to Sister Brown's congratulations politely. "Why am I here?" ask Eliana later.
Ha?!
"Do you remember why you were brought here?" sister Brown asked as she observed Eliana's expression well. The young lady before him, had just experienced a bad incident, it was natural that he forgot the incident he had just observed.
Sister Brown shuddered, imagining that Eliana might not have survived the rape case.
Eliana shook her head. "My head is dizzy."
"Are there any other complaints?" Sister Brown took the clipboard from a table near Eliana, and prepared to take note of Eliana's complaint.
"My stomach hurts."
"What else? Is there anything else?" sister Brown asked, noting the results of her observation.
"Silver. Hungrier. Thirsty."
"Do you want to eat?"
Eliana shook her head.
"Toni." said Eliana softly. "I want to meet my husband."
Sister Brown smiled. "Alright, I'll tell your husband. But first I'll call the doctor to check your condition."

Police Station
"Tell me why you tell people to put dope and war-mongering drugs into Miss Eliana Gracia's drink!"
Toni listens to investigators' questions, from behind the glass of a room at Lakewood police station. There sits Tiffany Wilson as a suspect and Detective Shawn is interrogating her.
Tiffany, who became one of the suspects over this incident, sat down with a haughty expression. From the beginning he answered the question in a convoluted manner. Many times he refused to answer any questions without his lawyer.
"I had nothing to do with it, and I had no idea what the drug was about" Tiffany replied calmly. He sat down with his legs crossed, the button blouse the top of him accidentally opened two pieces until the cleavage is clearly visible and makes the police focus wrong.
Fortunately, detective Shawn is a professional investigator and has good integrity. He knows how some criminal women try to offer 'something' to outwit and police attention and disrupt investigations.
Detective Shawn squinted, looking straight at Tiffany trying to intimidate the girl. "You proved to be in the area at the time of the incident and you have invited people to parties and free, they don't have to pay anything there."
"Why would I treat my friends there? It's a public facility. Who makes money, he can pay for everything." Tiffany speaks while leaning her body towards detective Shawn. The cleavage is tempting, detective Shawn tries hard to look into the girl's eyes and tries to keep his eyes focused.
"But some of your friends covered the mess there and they admitted that all at your request."
"I know them and invite them there. But their behavior there is not my responsibility."
Toni snorts at Tiffany's cheap behavior, she is grateful to have an accident and meets Eliana until she decides to cancel her marriage.
Time goes on, Tiffany's talk and the convoluted investigators make Toni restless. He didn't have much time to wait for Tiffany to confess. The woman seemed to be deliberately stalling for time to wait for her lawyer to come.
"Bryan and Tiffany's testimony is different." lamented Alex who was also present there as a witness. His face was as tired as Toni's, but he didn't want to leave his brother. Toni needs support. And he had once again done foolishness to plunge Toni and Eliana.
Toni exhaled and asked the police inspector who was standing next to her. "Can I see him for a minute?"
The inspector nodded. "You've only five minutes, sir."
"Okay, thank you sir."
When Toni entered the room, Tiffany immediately rushed to him. "Honey!" call her with tears, hoping her tears will melt Toni's heart.
Toni let go of Tiffany's grip on her waist. He took a step back and kept his distance. "Sit down!" his orders.
"Honey, please... It's not like they told you. I can explain everything to you."
Toni stared intently at Tiffany and gave the code to sit down. "Then explain everything to the investigator."
Tiffany's chest went up and down with emotion, but inevitably she also ordered Toni. It was obvious that the man before him could no longer be denied.
"Miss Tiffany Wilson." call Toni, her voice calm and deep. He shifted the chair in front of Tiffany and sat there. "I will not retract the report on this crime until you open your mouth. And Bryan will testify against you."
"What?!"
Connect yes....
