Sharing Love: Mistress (Storage Woman)
M11: DARREN'S ATTENTION
M11 🥀 : DARREN ATTENTION
“Mrs Xander's knees are just bruised, I've prescribed an ointment for her bruise. You can buy it at the nearest pharmacy,” said the half-century-old doctor, friendly.
“If the fever does not fall until sunrise, it is better that madam Xander be taken to the hospital.”
The man wearing the dark blue channel motif pajama nodded. After saying so, the doctor who had become a subscription to the Xander family resigned. After being found sleeping while walking in the kitchen, Ev falls unconscious. The beautiful woman also suddenly developed a fever. His body temperature soared rapidly. Darren called the doctor to check on Ev.
Now the beautiful woman was still lying unconscious on the bed. Her beautiful face looked deathly pale. A plaster of instant fever also adorned his forehead. For a moment, Darren observed the peaceful slumbering face while shackling his chest. For the next second, the beautiful man passed by leaving the wife's room.
There were many questions that came to Darren's mind, especially about Ev's condition. The woman is not okay, evidenced by the return of Ev sleepwalking. Darren admits that Ev is indeed an enigmatic and mysterious figure. The woman is able to hide many things without being sniffed by anyone.

Over time, the eyelids overgrown with lentic eyelashes are open. Passing a pair of neutrals that try to adjust the light entering the retina. The first thing he saw was a maid who was fixing blankets and pillows scattered on a long white sofa, near transparent glass.
“Dini.”
“The mrs are awake?” the young maid who was focused on fixing the blanket hurriedly moved, approaching towards the bed.
“Minum, Din's. Please,” the door with a hoarse voice.
The young maid nodded while taking the water available at the table by the bed. Then he helped the lady drink. “There's more that mistress needs, ‘kan?”
Ev shook weakly. His whole body felt weak, as well as hot. Ev doesn't know why his body is not fit again, but yesterday he was fine. His gaze was again fixed on the blankets and pillows that were on the sofa. Why are these things there? Think Ev. Did someone sleep there last night? But, who?
“Why are there blankets and pillows on the sofa, Din?”
“Evening mistress fever. Looks like, last night the master chose to sleep on the sofa while guarding the mistress.”
“I have a fever?” repeat Ev, touching his own forehead.
Dini nodded politely. “Night the Philanthropic doctor also came to check on miss. This morning before leaving for work, the master asked me to clean the mistress' room.”
Ev nodded in understanding. The pale-looking beautiful woman looked far away, leaning her body on the headboard. Darren would bother waiting for his feverish self, Ev still did not expect the taste. Especially when hearing the continuation of the story Dini, Ev increasingly made distrust.
The beautiful woman felt that there was something strange about Darren's attitude. Given the 5 years of living together, it can be counted on the finger how many times Darren shows if he has a sense of caring. The cold man. However, Ev was even confused when the husband showed a sense of care. As of this moment, the handsome man seemed to be walking towards her with both hands carrying a tray. Still in a neat suit, hold out if the guy just came home from the office.
“Why haven't you eaten and taken your medicine?”
Asked like that using a flat tone typical of Darren, Ev did not immediately answer.
“Eat, spend, then take medicine.”
“Bitter,” Ev response.
“I will tell the maid to make something sweet after you take the medicine.”
Ev frowned hearing Darren's reply. Didn't expect that the man would quickly respond. “No need.”
Ev then takes over the tray that Darren had kept on the table. On top of the object is a bowl of chicken soup with mushrooms, warm white rice, a glass of water, pieces of fresh fruit, and a few grains of medicine. Ev then started enjoying his food without a sound. While Darren chose to wait for Ev to finish his food and medicine from the sofa he slept on last night. Her net was staring at Ev fixedly, as if that deathly pale-looking beautiful woman was the object of observation.
“Uhuhk…. Uhuk...”
“Ev!”
Ev did not publish ucpana Darren who rose an octave when he choked on the soup he enjoyed. The man swiftly moved, then thrusting water to relieve Ev's throat.
“You are planning to commit suicide in front of me or how?”
“Au—“
“You should be more careful, Ev. You're so careless.”
Ev blinked his eyes several times, finding Darren's words full of worry. Although impressed hard. What's wrong with that guy?
“Eh?” Ev looked at his interlocutor in shock. However, in the next second he took over a swoop in Darren's hands. “I can still eat by myself.”
Darren looked at the wife sharply. That woman just rejected his generosity, seriously? Don't know if Darren is rarely generous. Once generous, Ev refused him outright.
“Yes for Christ, Ev!”
Ev and Darren recoiled at the same time when they heard a familiar voice coming from the door that had just opened from outside.
“Mama?” said Ev and Darren at the same time, when he found Diana Xander coming with a face filled with anxiety.
“Mama heard you were sick again, Ev. Now what hurts? Does your leg still hurt?” diana asked rhetorically.
“Ev is okay, Ma. Just a fever,” said Ev while commenting on a smile.
“It's okay how, Ev? Look, you're pale once.”
Ev smiled faintly as Diana touched her forehead, ensuring Ev's body temperature. The middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful looked worried. Diana was not even aware of the whereabouts of the son sitting next to Ev. Darren who looked invisible, just stared at the interaction of the two women flatly.
“Just you came home, why did you fall sick? Did Darren not take good care of you?”
Hearing his name being carried around, Darren cleared his throat. They tried to distract the two women.
“Oh, you are here, Darren?”
“Hm,” response Darren short.
“Basic brat, why don't you be very careful to take care of your favorite daughter-in-law Mama!”
Darren scrunched his forehead as he grazed his chest. “Not wrong Darren if Ev has a fever.”
“Of course it's your fault, because Ev is your responsibility, Darren Aryasatya Xander.”
“Ma, Darren has nothing to do with the health condition of Ev,” said Ev mediate.
Diana looked at the daughter-in-law with a sour face. If he blames Darren, Ev must always be ready to be a shield. “Your mother is also on her way here, Ev.”
“Mommy?”
Diana nodded. “What would it be if he knew his daughter who had just returned home from treatment abroad, fell ill again.”
Ev fell silent. Likewise with Darren who had been listening to their conversation.
“Why did Mommy suddenly come here? Though Ev had promised to meet Mommy to Bandung.”
“That's because of the insistence of your big family, Ev.”
“Means Mama?” confused Ev.
“Your grandfather plans to give almost half of the shares he has to you, if you manage to give him a grandson.” After saying so, Diana looked at her son and daughter-in-law together. The couple looked on the spot.
“Ev, don't think about it for now. Your health is more important,” Diana said calmly. “And you, Darren. Don't leave Ev just because of work. You Mama forbid working overtime, come home late at night, especially until not coming home.”
“Ma, can't be like that.” Darren replied, trying to make his mother understand.
“ Anyway, before Ev recovers you are forbidden to go home late, let alone go out of town. You may be criticized in-laws for neglecting to keep Ev!”
Darren is silent, no longer arguing over the mother. After all, it was useless if he fought back, the result would be the same. While Ev, still pecking in place. He did not expect that as long as he went abroad, the debate between his extended family heated up. Not long after, came Elina—ibu Ev—with her husband. In the heart of Ev berto’a so that his condition is in pain undo the intention of both parents to tell him about the family debate that fussed the descendants of Ev.
