Serving a Paralyzed Wife
73. Mysterious Man

"Naren?" whispered Glacia quietly. Narendra just turned off the lights at Glacia's request. Glacia often sleeps in a dim state, not much different from himself or most people.

"Yes?" Narendra approached and sat back on the edge of the bed. He slightly justified the Glacia infusion hose that looks twisted and irregular. "Your hands are bleeding. It hurt?"

Narendra saw a little blood between the ends of the hose near the needle. Glacia shook her head slowly. "Slightly sore. But it's okay, it's natural."

"You should not move too much, it could be swollen when removed later."

Glacia. While Narendra still touched his hand attached to the infusion. They were both dissolved in silence when Glacia restarted the conversation. "On Lizy ..."

Narendra waited for Glacia's hanging speech.

"It's all my fault, right?" the woman continued slowly.

"meaning?" Narendra is deep.

Glacia folded her lips for a while, then looked at Narendra with a huff. "Before ..I deliberately brought you closer. Could it be that Lizy was angry that I was impressed to give her hope, while I myself never let go of you completely? I ..."

Narendra remained silent trying to listen. He stared at Glacia's pale face, especially the movement of his lips that somehow Narendra felt at him for so long.

"I have no stand," Glacia snorted to herself. "I pretend to give you to another woman, but it hurts my heart to see you together. Though I'm sure, I don't have feelings for you."

Glacia's last sentence was not pleasant to hear by Narendra, but he tried to mature because here Glacia was the hardest to realize his heart.

"When have I been with Lizy?"

Glacia's eyes narrowed. "Didn't you guys ever date?"

"Other than that?"

Now that Glacia blinked, he seemed to have difficulty explaining. "I see you both often."

"You made the situation that way" said Narendra.

Right, anyway.

"But at the party, you were together too! Until you forget me ..." Glacia's voice grew squeaky and lost.

He looked back before apologizing. But unexpectedly, Narendra seemed to feel guilty. The highlight of her eyes implied a regret that was quite obvious Glacia saw.

Narendra then looked down. A heavy sigh could be heard from his nose. He looked up again at the shady Glacia, even as his hand stretched out to touch the woman's face. "For that matter, I'm really sorry. My apology is not enough to erase all your bad memories, nor my regret that has still spread to make my heart unsettled."

"Maybe I'm shameless about constantly asking you for opportunities. I want to fix everything that's going on between us" Narendra continued. "You don't have to try to accept me, I will try to make you accept me. We go through this together. I will wait until your heart is fully open to me."

"And as for Lizy's problem, your plan to bring me closer to her was wrong, but Lizy was also wrong for wishing me a clear husband, even though my wife had invited her first."

Glacia. Narendra is right, Glacia is wrong.

"Your fault is not just that, Glacia," Narendra continued. "With you planning to make my and Lizy's relationship come back, you're just as devastating as any other relationship. My relationship with you, Lizy's and Rafael's. Such forbidden romance would only ruin everything, and even more wreak an unexpected calamity. You have to remember that God hates infidelity. Your actions are tantamount to supporting treason."

"I ..." Glacia was speechless.

Narendra let out a long breath, his outstretched hand rubbing Glacia's forehead slowly. "Stop thinking about something complicated. Think how you'll heal in the future."

"Naren, why are you so nice to me?" Glacia asked suddenly. His eyes were staring right at Narendra's pupil. "You also said .. Do you love me? Wh why? Wasn't I always mean to you? I never even respected you as a husband. I treat you arbitrarily, I also consider you Papa's subordinate whom I don't have to respect."

"With all my ill-treatment, why do you always refuse divorce? What's keeping you with me?"

Silent. Narendra did not expect Glacia to ask about that sensitive matter now. Wh why? He didn't know why he had to hang on to a woman like Glacia. Narendra hates betrayal, Narendra hates being mistreated by someone, he doesn't like it when others see him as weak. But, why is it that with Glacia everything is different?

If that's called love, isn't the answer?

"I think we've talked about this before. You and I both understand each other's feelings" Narendra said with a small smile.

Glacia sneered and threw away her face. In a low and almost inaudible voice he muttered. "I just want to hear her statement of love again. Who knew he was so stingy."

Glacia did not realize that Narendra was looking at her. He raised an eyebrow trying not to smile looking at Glacia's adorable demeanor.

Suddenly ... Cup.

Glacia's heart seemed to stop beating feeling a subtle touch at the corner of her lips. Although only briefly and briefly, but it had a long impact for Glacia.

"You ..."

Narendra smiled at him. He just leaned over the side of Glacia's lips. Ignoring the nervous Glacia, he told the woman to go to sleep immediately.

But, how about going to sleep, while Narendra himself just made a mess in his heart.

***

Because Glacia does not go to sleep, the doctor injects a little medicine when the last examination schedule. As a result now the woman is asleep peacefully after decades of war with her own feelings.

Narendra sighed looking at Glacia who was asleep. His hand again wiped the pale surface of his forehead. However, Narendra is made to sculpt as he accidentally touches Glacia's hair falling out.

Narendra immediately distanced his hand when some of the long strands were stuck in his fingers. Swaying, he gulped roughly as he looked back at Glacia.

Trying to hold back the worries that had immediately struck, Narendra bowed to kiss Glacia's forehead while whispering. "Sleep well."

He put his body away, and just then his phone rang. Fearing to wake Glacia up, Narendra immediately raises the call that turns out to be from Julian.

"Hello, Mister?"

"Hello," whispered Narendra, walking a little away from the patient's bed. Narendra stood at the edge of the window with one hand tucked in his pocket. He was ready to listen to Julian, though his eyes occasionally glanced at Glacia. "Is there anything you found?" ask Narendra without further ado.

"There, Sir. I just got something about Miss Eliza**."

Narendra wait.

"Miss Eliza ..."

Julian said something at the end of his sentence that made Narendra's body vertical. He reflexively turned to Glacia who had no movement on the bed. The woman slept very well.

Narendra took his hand out of his pocket and started galloping towards the exit. "Where are you now?"

He closed the door quietly, and the guards outside immediately bowed as he passed by. Narendra told them to take care of Glacia while she was away.

Steadily he walked away from Glacia's room, entered the elevator and went downstairs while continuing to listen to Julian's explanation behind the phone.

However, shortly after Narendra disappeared and the corridor was quiet and silent, suddenly the presence of a black-clothed person hiding in the dark hallway caught the attention of the guards there.

"Hey! Who're you?!"

The man quickly ran away. Suddenly the Glacia guards chased after him no less quickly. They split up at several intersections of the corridor as the person descended through the emergency stairs.

The atmosphere on several floors suddenly turned tense, the hospital security team also intervened to find a suspicious person.

However, they did not realize that one other person came out of a dimness, then entered easily into Glacia's room.
