Serving a Paralyzed Wife
46. Birthday Party

Glacia hesitates to attend Lizy's birthday. He did not know anyone there, except Narendra who was now with him because he was also invited.

Narendra was invited. Before that, it must have been because they were together.

"Stay beside me. If you need anything tell me."

Glacia knew that Narendra was slightly offending the incident last time at the company party, where Glacia was caught receiving Rafael's help instead of Narendra as her husband.

"Hm." Glacia muttered yes. He had no intention of intersecting with Raphael any more. Before that, it was just a coincidence that they met.

Glacia and Narendra got out of the car. As usual Narendra will help Glacia occupy her wheelchair, then push the woman slowly into the Pataya residence, the house where Lizy held her birthday celebration.

The atmosphere was crowded with invited guests. Lizy who saw the arrival of Narendra and Glacy, spontaneously approached the two after previously saying goodbye to some guests who were talking to him.

"Welcome~" Lizy exclaimed softly and directly hugged Glacia as soon as she arrived before him. "I'm glad that you accepted my invitation and want to be here."

Lizy's eyes slightly glanced at Narendra. Even ordinary people know that what he really hopes to come is Narendra. Glacia understands that, but she doesn't know that this is the first time Narendra has come to Lizy's birthday since their relationship ended.

Glacia smiled sincerely at Lizy. "Happy birthday. I wish you all the best."

Narendra who heard that was not warm. It seemed like Glacia had already changed much more than before. Women are more able to appreciate others. Narendra was happy of course.

Glacia gave a gift that she had hugged on her lap. Lizy accepted it a little awkwardly, but then she smiled and thanked him.

"Geez, you bothered to give me a gift. But, thank you very much."

"Together."

"Oh yes, please enjoy the party. Hope fun. I have to say hello to the other guests" said Lizy.

Glacia nodded. "certain."

Lizy smiled. He moved and had a glance at Narendra for a moment when it would pass. But Narendra remained indifferent and preferred to pay attention to Glacia.

"They're coming?"

He glanced to the side, at Gallen who was looking far ahead. Lizy just a short sniff. "As you can see."

Gallen smiled. "They were very familiar, very quickly" he said as he continued to look at Naren and Glacia. He sipped the wine in his hand slowly.

Narendra seemed very attentive to his wife. The interaction between the two is very different than before. It seemed like Glacia had started accepting Narendra, and it made Gallen smile cynically.

In another corner, Rafael also saw their arrival. He was talking to the guests while occasionally looking at Glacia who seemed uncomfortable with the party atmosphere.

Narendra looked down at Glacia in his wheelchair. "Want a drink?"

Glacia looked up for a moment. "It looks like here it's just an alcoholic drink" he said doubtfully.

Narendra. "There are also "non-alcoholic drinks. Usually it is."

Ordinarily. Glacia smiled wryly at Narendra's sentence which even made Glacia aware that the man had a relationship with the owner of the party. What do you think, Glacy? You clearly know about that.

Glacia smiled stiffly. "Well, I'll find it then."

Where does Narendra expect Glacia? He doesn't know anyone here. As far as Narendra was concerned, Glacia could only remain silent like a stranger in the hall.

No one he knew, no one wanted to know him. People look at him strangely and tend to be condescending. This makes Glacia uncomfortable not clogged. Being among the crowd of human beings who could walk was so pitiful.

Glacia tried to pull over as the people in front of her grew increasingly crowded. Yet just slightly backwards Glacia had already made trouble by accidentally nudging someone who happened to pass behind him.

"If the road uses eyes!" Screaming of a woman. "Ups, sorry. I just realized you can't walk."

After saying that he left, leaving Glacia who was stuck in shame from being showered by the gazes of the few people around him.

At times like this he expects Narendra to return quickly. For whatever sake Glacia was confused had no friends. It felt like it was the wrong place, this was what Glacia hated from the crowded place now.

Not healed his heartache because of the treatment earlier, a man spoke softly to him. "Can you step aside? Just block the road."

The rebuke made Glacia stutter. "A-ah, please." Slowly he stepped back, but again and again his wheelchair was held back by hitting someone.

"God! What the hell are you really doing? Why would this disabled person be here?" Different woman that Glacia hit. I don't know how many people are in trouble because of their wheelchair. "Damn it, my dress got dirty!" The woman screeched to wag her dress which was hit by a drink spill.

While in the distance, Lizy noticed in silence. Her roar was flat, yet Claire knew she was satisfied with what Glacia had gotten. So did Gallen, he chuckled amusedly at the sight of Glacia being bombarded here and there.

"The woman was so arrogant. Now look, he can't even dodge and fight. It's really unfortunate. It's true I decided." Gallen laughed softly.

Lizy did not react, his eyes turned to Narendra who was still busy sorting drinks at the table. The man still did not realize his wife was in trouble. That made Lizy smile.

"You keep an eye on that woman" he said, starting to move on.

Claire sees Lizy who is now approaching Narendra and invites him to chat. He snorted and turned to Glacia at the other end of the room, quite far from their current position. Claire looked at Gallen. "You don't want to help him?"

"For what? He fed me up a long time ago" Gallen snorted.

***

"Naren?"

Narendra looked over as a voice called out to him. He had just obtained a drink for Glacia and was about to return to his wife. But, Lizy actually stopped him and asked him to talk.

"Are you enjoying the party?" asked Lizy in her distinctive soft voice.

"You know my wife and I just arrived" answered Naren flatly.

He was about to pass when again Lizy held back. "Can we talk to you for a second, two?"

Narendra frowned inside. He tried to glance at the place where he had left Glacia before, but his gaze was blocked by the passing crowd and also Lizy who was standing right in front of him.

Knowing Narendra must have refused, Lizy again refuted. "There's something important I want to talk to you about."

Narendra silently tried to weigh. He breathed out looking reluctant. "Later—"

"Now" cut Lizy. "It's about your father."

Narendra was silent. He looked at Lizy questioningly and also the feeling raging within.
