Serving a Paralyzed Wife
84. Smooth Threat

John looked at the file on the table. In front of him, Narendra sat while observing with a calm face. Another Narendra John, the middle-aged man actually felt that the sofa he was sitting on now contained embers that burned it to the head.

"What the fuck is this, Narendra?" John looks. The son-in-law raised an eyebrow asking. "What does all this mean? You want to stop our mega-project that's halfway through the process?" he was astonished, and at the same time unexpected.

John wondered what Narendra was doing. Narendra smiled calmly. In contrast to John who was deeply entangled.

"Naren, tell me, what exactly are you planning? Why are you suddenly making trouble like this? Don't make Papa regret for giving up all this to you."

John looked at Narendra. The son-in-law just shook his head until John slightly threw the file on the table. Narendra let out a long sigh, then leaned in to take the file.

Narendra watched him for a moment before then making a sound. "This project is entirely me in charge" he said. He looked back at John's gaze, which awaited his continuation. "It's a big project that Papa has wanted for a long time. If I stop the construction suddenly it will have a fantastic loss, even the company's finances will not be able to cover the cost, if the investors withdraw their funds."

John's face was serious. He was still guessing where the plot of their conversation was going. Narendra really made John wary this time. John thought he had fully recognized Narendra, but he didn't. There are still so many surprises that the child keeps, that inevitably makes him careful.

"Naren, are you going to betray Papa?" ask John slowly.

Narendra was still calm in his place. His gaze was still as usual, staring at John with a child's gaze at his father, shrouded in disdain that always made John feel respected.

Narendra smiled slightly, then shook his head. "I'm not that brave."

"Then?" sue John.

A few seconds Narendra was silent, until he opened his voice. "It depends on Papa himself. I'll take good care of this project if Papa trusts me."

"Father always trusts you" John said.

Narendra smile. "Is that so?" He looked at John with a faint raised eyebrow.

"But I think Papa is always watching me" Narendra continued.

Silent. Now John understood what Narendra was doing. He really did not expect this quiet young man to be able to do beyond John's expectations.

"You're threatening Papa?"

"Does Papa think that?"

I want John to grunt. What the fuck? True what John said earlier, he did not recognize Narendra. The young man's attitude was always restrained, but also full of stratagems if John observed.

John was curious, actually what kind of man became his daughter-in-law?

Sighing deeply, John chose to follow Narendra's path. He leaned on the sofa, trying to look relaxed. "What do you want when we talk on the phone?"

This time Narendra straightened the body. His hands rest on his knees with his fingers interlocked. Narendra looked up slowly at John.

"I just want Papa not to interfere in my household affairs. Glacia. He is entirely my responsibility. Papa just needs to be quiet like the other parents, without worry, suspicion, let alone watch out for me. Papa should know, whatever I do is all for Glacia's good" Narendra said. Calm down, without even intending to provoke emotions.

But things like this have been able to make John furious, but at the same time not struggling.

"Naren, you should also know everything Papa did for Glacia's good, including you. Papa's worried about you guys. As parents, it's only natural that Papa is worried about you, right?"

Narendra. "Yes. But like I said, Papa doesn't have to worry. We'll be fine. I'll take better care of Glacia than Papa thinks."

Narendra glanced back at the file on the table. "I'll make sure the project goes well, too."

John was totally rendered unflappable by Narendra's actions. John knew that Narendra was threatening him subtly because the young man was aware that John was observing his movements frequently.

Indirectly, this also shows Narendra's concern because John knew what Narendra was secretly doing in retaliation for those who hurt Glacia.

Narendra makes everyone spin in his game.

"Eh?" Glacia blinked to see who was coming into her room. Rafael stood in the doorway, staring straight at him.

"Doctor ... Raphael?"

Rafael let out a faint breath while smilingly closing the door. He then approached Glacia who was looking at the wonder of his arrival.

"How are you? How are you doing now?" the man asked, as soon as he arrived before Glacia. He continued to murmur slowly. "I don't see any guards up ahead."

"Ooh." Rafael nodded slowly. "Sorry, just visited you now. You know, my schedule in the hospital is so tight."

"It's okay, I understand." Glacia was surprised because Rafael bothered to take the time to visit him.

"How are you doing?" ask Rafael again.

Glacia thought for a moment. "A little better."

"Thank God" muttered Rafael. "Ah, sorry I don't know what to bring for the sick. So I brought fruit. I hope you're not disappointed."

Raphael kept the fruit basket which had been in his hand on the nightstand. It made Glacia slightly chuckle. "Doctors every day in the hospital, do not know what usually people bring when visiting patients?" Glacia's sharpener looks amused.

Rafael grimaced while scratching his nape. "I rarely pay attention. All I know is flowers and fruit."

The man was silent when he mentioned the flowers. He remembered the flowers he had brought when he first visited Glacia. Unfortunately, the flower ended horribly in the trash because of his dispute with Narendra. Glacia had not yet fully recovered from a critical period.

Glacia smiled. "No problem, Doctor. Fruit is more beneficial for the sick."

Looking at Glacia's smile, the corner of Rafael's lips reflexed along. He then tried to wake himself up. His eyes rolled around the room. "You alone?"

"Hm?" Glacia raised an eyebrow, then she nodded. "Yes, it just so happens that Papa is having some business, Naren too. So .. yes, as the doctor saw, there's no one here."

Rafael nodded. He was a little relieved to know that Narendra was not there. His mood was not good, he was lazy to make trouble with anyone.

"Regarding Lizy .. I want to apologize. I didn't know he could do that much with you." Rafael looked embarrassed. "Our relationship is limited to family cooperation. So, maybe you wouldn't be surprised to see him so obsessed with your husband, who's none other than his ex-girlfriend."

Glacia's smile turned stiff. To this day, he has not heard from the woman. As Glacia knows, Lizy is being targeted by the police.

"I understand. How's it going now?"

Rafael looked silent. "Eitherway. He's still not found."

Glacia thought Rafael's sad look was caused by that. "I'm sorry" he whispered. "Hopefully Lizy can be found quickly."

Rafael. He smiled while nodding stiffly. It seems Glacia has misunderstood. They were both silent with their own thoughts. Rafael repeatedly weighed in to say something. Is it time for Glacia to know how Rafael really feels?

"Glacia," call Rafael slowly.

"Yes?" Glacia looked up at the man.

Swallowing his saliva, Rafael observed Glacia who was leaning comfortably with her body half-lying on the bed. His face still looked pale and sweet. The thing that makes Rafael hesitant, not only because he feels embarrassed, but Rafael fears his feelings will make Glacia think a lot, and end up worsening his health condition.

Rafael smiled, breathing out as he shook his head. "It's nothing. Then rest. Excuse me." He saw the clock. "I'm about to have surgery soon."

"Ah, so? Well, I'm sorry if my welcome is not good, Doctor." Glacia is a little unpleasant.

Rafael chuckles. "You're making my mood better."

"Yes?" Glacia.

"It's nothing. See you soon." Rafael smile. He went to the door and opened it slowly.

However, his body was sculpted once he found someone there. Silent for a moment, Rafael looked back at Narendra who was standing firmly in the doorway. The man looked at Rafael flatly.

Glacia who realized the presence of her husband also made a sound. "Naren, are you back?"

But Narendra did not look at all. Glacia did not know that the two men were now looking at each other quite sharply.

"I don't know a doctor like you, it's nice to see someone's wife when her husband isn't around."

Rafael is unmoved. He did not reply to the insinuations at all, and chose to go over the shoulder of Narendra who now snorted faintly.

Narendra's eyes followed Rafael's impolite departure. The corner of his lips twitched. They thought that since there was no bodyguard, Glacia's room was safe from observation.

He glanced at some windows in the corridor, more precisely the building opposite the hospital, where Narendra put his men to observe the situation of Glacia's room. True, Narendra put some cameras and tappers in his wife's room.
