Secret Denis
Sixty Three

Alex breathes a sigh of relief. The deal with Viola is over. Although he knew that the girl must have been very disappointed and sad, but this was better than his feeling of being lied to. It felt like the weight on his shoulders had slipped out of hand when he could say everything frankly to Viola.

Now he's headed to where Denis is. He had to make sure the girl was okay and in a decent place. He had Faisal send someone to keep an eye on Denis. He had to make sure the girl was okay and not run away from her.

Jack was in the garage when Alex parked his car on the side of the road in front of Jack's garage. The man approached Alex.

"I want to see Denis." Before Jack asked.

"He's inside." Jack's eyes swept over Alex's car. Just this time he looked directly at the luxury car worth hundreds of millions in front of his eyes. Usually he only handles ordinary cars.

Alex passed by the man who was still standing near his car. There were some people commenting on his car which was in stark contrast to the place. Alex ignored them. The goal is only one. Denise.

Entering the warehouse room that doubles as the headquarters where Jack and his friends gather, Alex already knows the place he must go. A place in the corner of the area. Denis was lying on a shabby mattress. His eyes closed with both hands crossed his chest.

Alex sat next to the girl. Looking at her pale and somewhat reddish face. Alex clenched his forehead. Denis cheek touched with the back of his hand. The heat stinging her skin indicates the girl is not okay.

Feeling a touch on his cheek, Denis's eyes opened. Sayu and not luminous.

"You have a fever?"

Denis did not answer. His eyelids closed back. He seemed so helpless just to open his eyes.

Alex panic.

"I'll take you to the hospital."

"Don't want to." Denis's voice plan.

"You're ill. Maybe an infection from your wound."

Alex immediately lifts Denis' body.

"Please me. I don't want to go with you."

His body couldn't even do a rejection to Alex. He's too weak. His body heat penetrated Alex's shirt by two layers.

"Where are you taking him?" Jack confronted him when he wanted to get Denis in his car.

"To the hospital. He's got a fever."

Jack says nothing more when Alex tells him why he took Denis. He didn't know Denis had a fever. He thought Denis was okay and just needed a break. That's why he left her alone inside.

"Gue's coming."

"No need. Your body is dirty full of oil so."

Jack grimacing. Let Alex get in his car and get out of there.

Some nurses quickly took Denis with a hospital cage. Check before being treated by a doctor in the IGD room.

"Alex?" A woman in her white uniform rebukes Alex who is watching Denis closely.

"Mother Fani?"

"Lho, is that Denis? Why her?"

"The body is hot. And, yesterday, he was shot in the shoulder. Maybe that's what's making him fever."

"What's? Got shot? Ba..how can it be?" Ma'am Fani was surprised to hear Alex's explanation. His body immediately shook hearing the word shoot. Remembering past events that caused fear for him and his family.

Fani immediately checked Denis. Panic he can't hide even though soon he can control himself. Two nurses helped her take notes and also relayed the results of the temporary check-ups they were doing.

"The wound's fine. It seems to have been handled well."

"He just got out of the hospital. He's very stubborn. He should still be in the doctor's care." Alex added information.

"We'll observe in three hours. If the fever doesn't go down, we'll take care of him here."

"Yes. Do your best for him, ma'am."

Ma'am Fani smiled. Directed the nurse to install the infusion and write down a prescription medication that should be given to Denis immediately.

"Bak's glad you guys kept together." After finishing with Denis' health records.

Alex smiled faintly. Didn't want to tell Mbak Fani that Denis left for a few days.

"What happened until he was shot? Who did it?"

"The same person who shot me first."

"really? So that guy is still roaming around freely?"

"Now they are under arrest by police. I haven't met him in person either."

Denis head moving. His eyes opened slowly and looked at meu two people who were standing near the bed where he was lying.

"Dennis."

"Mak Fani."

"The mother will take food for you. You eat later, keep taking the medicine."

Madam Fani soon passed from that place.

Alex came closer to the lip of the bed. Touch the girl's forehead gently.

"But stubborn girl. I told you to stay in the hospital. But instead ask to go home. He lives at Jack's place. You should either stay in the care of the doctor, or go home." Nagging in a soft tone while stroking Denis' head.

Denis did not answer. He had no energy to refute Alex at the moment. His head feels very dizzy. Her eyelids were heavy and reluctant to open.

"Is it because you rained last night?"

"Well, because of the rain you got sick? You're strong." More to muttering to himself.

The swab of his hand on Denis' head came to a halt when Fani's mother came to bring the porridge for Denis.

"Let me feed him, Ma'am."

Alex immediately took over the porridge in Fani's hands. Looks like the woman was intending to feed Denis.

"You sure?"

Alex nodded while smiling.

Fani's mother handed the porridge to Alex's hand.

"Later when you have finished eating, give this medicine yes. Ma'am stay first. I'll see you back here."

Ms. Fani then went to check on another patient.

Alex manages Denis' bed to make it easier for him to feed Denis.

"Let's open his mouth. Aaa..."

"Don't eat." His voice is very weak.

"Don't argue. Come onl. You don't want to stay here long. You have three hours. If it's not good in three hours, you'll be in the hospital again." Half threatened like threatening a child.

Denis finally complied. Although grimacing while chewing the porridge that was fed by Alex's hand, he did not stop him to accept it. Patiently and patiently Alex feeds Denis. He smiled seeing the girl painstakingly swallow her food. He rubbed the corner of the girl's lips that left a soy sauce stain from the porridge he was eating.

Denis slightly turned his face. It seems wrong with Alex's treatment of her. If only things weren't so weak, I don't know what he'd do.

"Udah."

"A little more."

"Don't want to."

Alex surrenders. After all Denis had consumed almost half of that portion of porridge. He put a glass on the girl's lips. Denis accepted it obediently. It's just that his eyes don't dare to contradict Alex's. He seems to be embarrassed.

After Denis takes the medicine that was given by Madam Fani, Alex returns Denis' bed to its original position.

"Sleep. I'll take care of you here." Alex rubbed Denis's forehead.

"Don't tell the woman." After a long silence.

Alex frowning. Guess what Denis said.

"You mean, your mama?" Denis did not answer. He closed his eyes. "He deserves to know your situation. But if you don't want to meet him yet, I won't tell him about your situation."

"He must be very anxious thinking about you. Don't you want to talk to her one bit?"

There is still no lawfulness. Alex took a breath.

"Sleep."

He stayed next to the girl until the phone rang. Not wanting his phone call to bother Denis, Alex immediately moved away.

"What's wrong?" Ask slowly. Faisal contacted him.

"The police want to meet you, sir. They want to ask you about Bhishma and Tania."

"I can't." Looking towards Denis. "Call on Mr. Jonah. Everything is with Jonah."

"Is there a problem, sir? Why are you talking so slowly?"

"I'm in the hospital. Denis fever. I can't leave her."

"Oh."

Silent for a moment.

"What if I told someone else to look after Denis? Your police presence is indispensable, sir."

Alex turns his body towards Denis. Staring at the girl who seemed to have fallen asleep was worriedly.

"Can't you be represented by a lawyer?"

Trying to negotiate. His heart was heavy to leave Denis.

Faisal seemed to understand the baldness of his superiors.

"I'll try to talk first, sir."

Faisal disconnected the phone.

Alex went back to bed. Sit in the chair carefully. Touching Denis's forehead, feeling the heat have started to diminish.

His eyes swept across Denis face gently. Traverse each line without being missed. So sweet and peaceful without the look of his eyes that are always fierce and cold.

Alex smiled considering how the girl had never been so friendly in days. But his presence in the restaurant and even protecting himself from the Bhishma shot really made his heart shake. Alex believes, if there were no Denis there at the time, the shot would not miss and would have hit him. Maybe that will be the end of his life.

"Stupid girl. Why did you stop the shot." Denis cheeks at a glance.

"You've risked your life for me. I'll never forget that in my entire life." Whispers watered.

Then his eyes fell on Denis' dry lips. Unable to bear to remember how sweet the lips were, Alex got up and lowered his head to touch his aunt slowly above the lips.

Bruk!!
