Serving a Paralyzed Wife
99. Gaffes

Rafael kept a plate of food he had just cooked on the table, right in front of Glacia. He smiles. "Eat. I made a special breakfast for you, with a nutritional content that is rooted. I know, all this time hospital food bored you, so this time I'm trying to make it different and better."

Glacia flinch staring at the sauteed vegetables, there is also processed tempeh made steak. Glacia. "D-Doctor ... This ... is it not too excessive?" he said slowly and carefully.

Rafael fell silent. "Excess what do you mean?"

Glacia squeezed her hands over her thighs. This morning a nurse took care of him and bathed him. Her clothes were also already available, as if it was indeed deliberately prepared for her.

In fact, according to Glacia the dress and the pretty clothes were too luxurious to be the size of a patient like her. Why would Rafael seem too pampering Glacia here? Glacia does not feel that they are undergoing a treatment procedure.

"Doctors don't have to cook themselves like this. I would eat anything like that in the hospital, if that was what I had to eat. Then ... this shirt ..." Glacia looked down at the dress she was wearing. "Isn't this too expensive for a patient like me?"

Glacia looked up again at Rafael. His frown was so careful, he knew Rafael must have understood what he meant. Glacia is not a blind brand, the clothes he wears are now one of the luxury products that cost over tens of millions. This is strange, at a time when the role of Glacia for Rafael was just a patient.

For a moment the atmosphere became silent, before then Rafael chuckled as he let out a faint breath. He seemed to be thinking a little about hearing Glacia's question just now. "I'm sorry, if you're uncomfortable. I didn't mean to make you feel that way. I just think that you're a VVIP patient that I should serve as best I can. For clothes, please do not misunderstand. Actually it wasn't purely me who bought it, it was all my sister's."

Glacia. "Doctor's sister?"

Rafael nodded, staring at the shady Glacia.

"Then ... does he not get angry at the clothes I wear?"

This time the man smiled bitterly. "She died two years ago" she whispered somewhat, but she kept her look as if she was fine.

"Ah, sorry. I don't know." Glacia felt a little guilty for indirectly making Rafael sad.

Rafael chuckled softly as he shook his head. "It's okay, it's been a long time. Oh yeah, you eat," he said, pushing the Glacia plate closer.

Glacia smiled slightly, still impressed awkwardly. He ate his breakfast as long as Rafael went out of nowhere. Maybe he is ready to go to work and start his activities again as a doctor.

Glacia chewed her food in silence. He could not stop thinking about John and Narendra. What are those two men doing now? Why aren't any of them visiting here? Glacia still feels strange living in Rafael's private apartment.

When Glacia finished eating, Rafael came out of his room, at least Glacia thought so because the man often went in and out of the room. Rafael is well-groomed in a charming shirt suit. He was fragrant, but his fragrance could not make Glacia fixated like he smelled the scent of Narendra. His smile was mellowing, but unable to shake Glacia's feelings like Narendra which often made him nervous and misbehaved.

Glacia. Why did he compare the two of them?

Rafael approaches. "It's over?"

Glacia nodded. Raphael asked again. "How does it feel?"

"Enak. At least better than I ate before." Glacia only answered as it was, but he did not know the opinion managed to arouse the spirit in Rafael. He was even more excited to pay attention to Glacia, more than this.

"Thank God you like it. I have to go to the hospital first. If there's anything, you can ask Rini for help, she's a nurse who works specifically while you're here" Rafael said.

Rafael smiled, unconsciously his hand outstretched, rubbing Glacia's hair, making the woman instantly fixated in place.

"Ah, sorry, you kind of remind me of Reina." Raphael pulled his hand back. "Reina my sister."

"Oh." Glacia nodded in understanding. By the way, he just found out that Rafael has a younger sister. All this time Glacia thought that man was also an only child like her.

"I'm leaving" said Rafael again.

"Yes, please. Careful, Doctor." Glacia smiled slightly with a nod. He then grimaced awkwardly after Rafael actually left.

It's not stupid to understand this strange situation. Not a little, it's really weird. The awkward feeling that had been haunting him since yesterday, this morning was getting stronger.

Rafael said yesterday Glacia's memory started to blur and seem random. But, Glacia tried to record all her activities from yesterday until the last time she woke up. As a result, Glacia remembered everything she had done before. Glacia had not forgotten, and none of her memories had been as blurred as Rafael had explained yesterday. Glacia also marks it using the date, day, or year.

Glacia was pensive for a moment, before she was surprised by the arrival of Rini, the nurse Rafael had mentioned her name earlier.

"Miss?"

Glacia. "Eh, huh?"

"Miss needs something?" ask Rini.

"Yes? Ah, nothing." Glacia shook her head while grimacing thinly. "That's, when will Doctor Rafael start treatment for me?"

Rini smiled. "At this time Doctor Rafael is still busy with patients in the hospital, but he has prepared the procedure for Miss, he has also prepared a schedule and several related doctors."

"Is that?" Glacia pretended to understand. "When I was in the hospital, the doctor suggested that I sunbathe a lot. Can you take me to the park? Under this apartment there must be a garden, right?"

Rini nodded. "There certainly is, Miss. But for now Doctor Rafael advises you to sunbathe on the balcony only. Worried you'd be too tired if you had to go up and downstairs."

"Ah, it looks like that. Can I contact my family? My father and husband, I want to know how they are."

Rini's speechless. Her lips grimaced for a while, but Glacia could still see them. The woman who said the nurse replied. "Sorry, Miss. But here we don't provide a phone of any kind."

"What?" glacia asked in shock.

"It is to avoid the focus of Miss who will be divided in the treatment process. Doctor Rafael wants you to concentrate and trust him completely. So, contacting someone right now is highly discouraged."

What kind of reason is that? Glacia squeezed her fingers, she stared fixedly at Rini who was still standing quietly before her. Glacia frowned faintly, he was sure that something was amiss between them.

About Rafael, about the strange treatment he had planned. Glacia felt really awkward.
