Serving a Paralyzed Wife
102. Equally Crazy

Rafael looked up as Glacia stopped eating. He swallowed the chew before asking. "What's wrong? The food's not good?"

Glacia. "My tongue is bland, Doctor. Doctor's cuisine is delicious, it's just .. you know for yourself, I haven't fully enjoyed the food."

"That time you ate croissants" said Rafael, cutting the meat back on his plate. He glanced at the silent Glacia. "When excess sugar levels are not good for cancer patients like you," he continued, sounding relaxed.

Glacia gulps. He knew, indirectly Rafael was insinuating him. The man must have known the croissant from Narendra.

"Ah, that .. I have not eaten that food for a long time, plus I do like croissants," said Glacia, trying to give a logical reason as possible. "But, if the Doctor forbids it, I might not eat it again."

Looking at Rafael who could even know about the croissant that afternoon, it was certain that this man was observing him secretly. Why was Glacia unconscious all this time?

After further thought, he felt that Rafael really liked him. Actually Glacia had suspected this since long ago. He is not stupid to not be able to interpret every attitude and view of the man on him.

Rafael nodded. "From now on you should eat healthy food. I have also provided organic snacks for you to enjoy on the sidelines of meal hours. Hopefully after this you can get used to it," he said.

Glacia could only nod. Narendra said he should be nice while here. Considering Rafael alone can be desperate to isolate himself so far, it does not rule out the possibility that the man will do bad things if his emotions are provoked.

"Doctor, do you have a storybook to read?"

Rafael looked up at Glacia. He who was chewing seemed to think for a moment, before answering after the food in his mouth was swallowed. "Would you like to read?"

"When I got sick and couldn't go anywhere, I used to spend time reading novels."

Rafael smile. "I'll try to find it in a bookstore. I don't have books like that. Unless you're willing to read books on medicine and other biographies."

Glacia smiled back little. "Sorry to trouble."

Rafael immediately shook his head. "Not at all. Please don't say it like that. I understand you must be bored because there are no friends. Did Rini treat you well?"

"Suster Rini is excellent, Doctor," replied Glacia.

"Thank God, I'll fire him right away if you feel uncomfortable with him." Rafael said that with a smile, as if his sentence just wasn't serious. But Glacia was sure the man was very serious. Over time, Glacia increasingly felt Rafael was different from what he had previously known.

Rafael finished eating, he put dirty dishes on the table, then washed them clean in the sink. Beyond all his strange attitude, Rafael is indeed a very neat person and keeps clean.

After rearranging the dishes in place, Rafael turned to face Glacia who was still unmoved at the dining table.

"Tonight, are you willing if I start the examination?"

Glacia was a little aghast looking at Rafael. "W-how, Doctor?" tanya Glacia made sure.

"I want to check your health, don't you mind if I do it tonight?"

Silent. Glacia was speechless with a frozen face. It's dilemma. Wanting to refuse, Glacia was afraid. But if she did not refuse, Glacia was still afraid. He did not know what Rafael was going to do. Hopefully not the weird one.

"A-ah .. b-well. Now?" asked Glacia stammered.

Rafael wipes his hands using a clean little towel. "Wait a while, you just finished eating." He then extended his hand towards the living room which was indeed no partition with the kitchen. "You can wait there first."

"Ah, okay." Glacia has no power to resist. He turned and left the kitchen. His voice looked restless as well as doubtful. God, what would Raphael do?

Arriving at the living room, Glacia glanced at Rafael who was now passing through a corridor. Glacia had no idea where the corridor was connected to. During her stay here, Glacia only dared to step on the room, kitchen, as well as the living room and balcony.

Glacia is scared, as he believes Rafael is keeping many unseen surveillance cameras. In addition to the CCTV camera that is visible to the eye, he knew very well the man placed other tools in the entire apartment.

Glacia suddenly thought of the incident this afternoon in the room. Does Rafael know something has happened to his television? Hopefully not. If Rafael is conscious, Glacia's dead now.

But, Narendra is unlikely to take such a big risk if it is not considered first. Right, Glacia believes her husband isn't that stupid. He alone could tell where Glacia was.

Ignoring the curiosity of the newly discovered fact that Narendra was not an indiscriminate man, Glacia wished that he could immediately free her from this luxurious apartment.

Seeing Narendra's ability to hack into television, Glacia was sure that her husband was not as innocent as she thought. Damn, whether he should be grateful for it or not. Moreover, indirectly during this time Narendra had fooled Glacia by hiding her true identity.

"You ready?"

Glacia looked up at Rafael. As if knowing his anxiety, the man kept chuckling until his eyes narrowed like a crescent moon. But, that charm even impressed psycho in Glacia's eyes at this time.

"Why are you afraid of that? I won't do anything to hurt you. I'm just gonna take a little bit of your blood to get tested in the lab. Then scan to find out how far the development of cancer cells in your body."

"Ah, so? Why don't we just do it in the hospital? Wouldn't the equipment be more complete?" asked Glacia nervously.

Rafael smile. "Follow me. After that you will know the tools here are no less complete with the hospital."

And then Glacia also knew, that Rafael did have a slightly crazy personality. How not, even a doctor rarely collects complete examination equipment in his home.

Either Glacia had to think of the man as a true doctor, or instead was mentally ill. For whatever he collects this equipment in a private residence, especially an apartment that in fact is far from the reach of people. It is also impossible for people to come to the highest floor of a building. Is Rafael crazy? But, the man looked like a normal person normally.

Okay, let's just follow what Rafael did. God, he thought only his fiancee was abnormal, apparently this man also has a disorder of liking people's partners. Totally fits.

Glacia wanted to know, Rafael really intended to treat her, or it was just an excuse for Glacia to stay here with him.

***

Far away in another part of Jakarta, Narendra observed all the movements of Rafael, sitting side-by-side on the sofa. After successfully hacking electronic equipment in the mad doctor's apartment, including CCTV, Narendra could not be separated to keep an eye on everything that happened in that place.

He hissed irritably whenever he saw Rafael and Glacia's interaction, especially when they were eating together. This is really upsetting. Which husband is not jealous to find his wife close, let alone living one roof with another man? And he hated being able to do nothing but observe.

No, it's not time yet. They have to set a special strategy to deal with Rafael, especially after knowing the man is good at tricking because he has the science of hypnosis.

Julian walked into his room, he stood next to Narendra who had been silent watching the laptop screen.

"Sir, it's late, you don't want to go home?" ask Julian. They were still in the office after Narendra reasoned overtime to the in-laws.

He knows, maybe John was disappointed in him, because Narendra seemed too relaxed when his wife was lost to people. But he did not want to make John worry excessively. He had already explained that the location of Glacia had been found, and was devising a plan to remove it from the mad doctor's entanglement. Whether John believed it or not, Narendra would have brought Glacia back safely, without being hurt at all.

He also watches over Lizy's movements, who he knows is hiding in another Rafael's place. This time, Narendra deliberately let them first, before later he made the two suffer simultaneously.

Narendra got up from the sofa, stood up to take his laptop and tidied up the other items that would be brought home.

Julian followed Narendra who walked out. They entered the elevator, then both shut up in silence. Suddenly Narendra opened his voice. "For the Vienna issue, tell them to get it sorted out. I'm sick of all this."

Julian looked at Narendra from the reflection of the elevator wall. "Master sure?"

"What is delaying? In the future, the woman must die. I just slowed him down so he'd suffer."

Julian did not argue. "Good."

He also contacted the people in the banker to do Narendra's word tonight. After the call, Julian looked at Narendra again, this time looking directly at the boss. "Master, Gallen Mou just finished surgery a few hours ago. He really lost one leg."

"I know," replied Narendra kalem. They arrived at the basement and headed straight for the parked car in the director's special area.

Narendra enters, as does Julian who immediately turns the wheel leaving the company.

"Does Master feel good?"

Narendra was breathing. "My mind is both gone, but .. Never mind, let's just say it's a relief from me."

Given Edward Mou who screamed crazily when he knew his son was deformed, the corner of Narendra's lips could not stop smiling with a satisfied look.

"If the judge can't punish me according to my wishes, then I'll punish him myself."

Julian grimacing. He thought, either Rafael or Narendra is crazy. Or are both crazy?
