If William has found his destination again, different from in Lunar City. Meyrin just came out of the operating room. His face looked pale and so peaceful in his sleep. Emily and Daniel are at his side, waiting for Mafia leader Arlington to open his eyes.
"Dad, why did Big Brother open his eyes for so long?" asked Emily who was still holding Meyrin's hand in a worried tone.
"Maybe your brother wants to rest even longer. Just wait," said Daniel to calm his youngest daughter even though he himself was worried about Meyrin's situation.
"Dad, what ... can't you leave this black world?" ask Emily while lowering her head. He was afraid to look at his Daddy's face.
"Did Emily not want to accept our identity again?" Daniel asked back.
"It's not that Emily won't take it anymore. Emily can't bear to see you guys fighting again. Every time you fight, Emily's always scared. The fear becomes even more when your number cannot be reached. Emily was afraid that she would have to greet you by name alone, hiks ... hiks," broke the tears that the woman had endured since arriving at the hospital.
After that, it slid with a torrent of complaints that Emily had felt all along. Complaints when he had to wait for the uncertainty of his two loved ones when he went to battle.
Daniel could only listen. He does not dispute or justify his opinion. She can only be a good listener, as she herself cannot give the answer Emily wants.
"Lily, I'm fine. Don't blame or burden Dad again, dear," Meyrin said in a soft tone.
Emily who heard her brother's voice immediately raised her head, looking at Meyrin's pale face.
"Sister." Emily hugged Meyrin and cried.
Meyrin who was getting a sudden hug was slightly grimacing. Daniel who was about to rebuke Emily was stopped because his eldest daughter stopped the father.
Meyrin patted his sister on the back. A stepbrother who is considered to be his younger brother. Meyrin pampered Emily very much, but even so Emily grew up with a high sense of responsibility. He really respected Daniel and loved Meyrin even though they were not from the same mother.
"Not crying anymore. Brother is there for you. It's all over, honey."
"Related?" ask Emily to make sure.
"It seems so," Meyrin said with a mischievous smile.
"Sister!" hardik Emily doesn't like the way Meyrin jokes.
"For Rizzo's problems it can be taken care of. How's dad?" meyrin looked at Daniel.
"The problem in New York has been resolved. At least they don't dare to bother us."
"You're not kidding, are you? We can live without the whirring of bullets and the excessive worry?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Emily hugged Meyrin again. Truly, a day like this that Emily wants to feel every day with two members of her family. Suddenly Lea came closer and confirmed the situation in Venice.
"What's up, Lea?" meyrin asked as she realized her personal assistant was approaching.
"All the problems in Venice have been resolved by Mr. Aite. They're just having trouble finding the leader of the white axe, miss," Lea reported.
"Is Ken on a schedule?" ask Meyrin.
"According to Alex for the next month, Mr. Ken will be promoting his latest album as well as meeting with some of his clients" Lea replied straightforwardly.
Suddenly his phone rings, there is Rama's name there. Lea looked at Meyrin who was getting permission to answer the call. The assistant then answered the call.
"Yes .. no, Miss is fine .. Fine if that's her decision."
Lea re-entered her phone after the short talk was over. He went back to reporting if William was aware and would continue his affairs in Venice.
"Mr William also wanted Arlington to send his men to complete the short video. WR Entertainment did not demand that Miss Meyrin go down directly" Lea said.
"When can I get out of the hospital?" ask Meyrin.
"One week at the earliest, a month at the most because the scar wound is still wet. Doctors also recommend giving antidotes to your body at regular intervals."
"No! Brother can't go anywhere. Let Emily jump into Venice to replace her. Anyway Brother has to rest," stop Emily.
"If you don't remember wrong, don't you in the next week there's a video clip?" sindir Meyrin at once reminded the schedule of his sister.
"Eh, Emily forgot." Emily patted her head and Meyrin laughed at her brother's ridiculous behavior, while Daniel shook his head.
Since the arrival of Meyrin, Emily has been very sticky with her stepbrother. He's not as spoiled for Daniel as he used to be.
"But still you can't leave! Well, Daddy's gone, then" suggested Emily.
"Where might Daddy do something friendly with William, his brain please conditioned Emi," Daniel murmured and it succeeded in making everyone in Meyrin's room laugh.
****************
One week had passed, William was already allowed to go home. Rama took care of all the necessities for William to get out of the hospital. While William himself sat casually on the sofa of his inpatient room with casual clothes.
As Rama reported, a party from Arlington Group will come today. They also do not want to block a signed project. Arlington asked not to wait but to meet at the scene of the video.
Rama went back into William's room. He reported that everything was done just leaving for the video making place.
"Rama, who was sent by the Arlington Group?" william asked when they were in the car.
"Lea didn't tell him, sir. It's probably Miss Meyrin's secretary or Miss Emily herself coming."
"Oh." William's reply sounded so dissatisfied that it wasn't Meyrin who came.
I don't know since his heart was so agitated. His heart was pounding erratically, like something was about to happen. Something beyond reason and unwanted.
"Is there a problem, sir?" rama asked when he saw William's uncharacteristic behavior.
"Nothing, then go straight to the Rialto bridge."
"Good, Sir."
Arriving in front of the grand canal, William immediately boarded the gondola that had been prepared. Rama gave information that some crew were already on the bridge, waiting for the presence of both sides.
Arriving at the Rialto bridge, William went straight to the mainland. Today the bridge has been ordered only for special video making by the Mayor. Tourists should only be beside the bridge.
William stood on the lip of the bridge, staring at the grand canal in the morning. The atmosphere this morning in Venice was so bright. A few gondolas past the Rialto bridge made William remember something.
William smiled as the memories flashed. Meyrin's embarrassed and frightened smile while riding the gondola. Romantic things that happened after Acqua Alta. After the scene changes when Laras comes and asks to accept Meyrin as she is.
"Where are you, honey?" lirih William misses Laras, his wife.
"Good morning, Mr. Plowden," said someone from behind William.
William immediately turned around, looking at someone who greeted him.
