Substitute Bride For Young Master
Chapter 43's
After washing her bloodied hands, Lorie looked up to check her face in the mirror. He complained when he saw some deep red dots spreading on his forehead, nose tip, and cheeks. He then looked down and found the same stains on the front of his shirt and the surface of his shoes. Rafael's blood was completely dirtying everything.
“You want me to get you a change of clothes?” asked Doctor Ana who was peeking out from behind the door.
“*Um*. This is disgusting,” replied Lorie while unbuttoning her shirt.
“Five minutes,” Doctor Ana said before returning to disappear.
Lorie sighed and went to the room to take a shower. It was impossible to go to the Spring Mountains under such conditions. He didn't want the triplets to see him covered in blood and started asking questions from a-z, especially Amber, the little girl was meticulous and critical when asking. He did not want to set a bad example for them.
Due to her unstable body condition, Lorie prefers to soak in the *bathtub*. Replying to Rafael has drained almost all of his energy. He filled the tub with warm water to the brim, then went in and lay down quietly, letting the water and soap remove the stains and scent of blood still left on his body.
“Baby, one day do not like mama, yes,” he said while rubbing his stomach very gently.
“You must grow strong, but do not become like mama ..”.
Don't be like mama .. You have to have a better life ....
“Lorie?”
“Eng.”
“I put your clothes on the sideboard.”
“Oke, thank you.”
“You okay?”
“Lumayan .. not bad.”
“OK. I'll wait for you outside.”
“Oke.”
Ten minutes later, Lorie came out with a new clean and fragrant outfit. No more fishy stench of Rafael's blood and eight of his men. Everything seemed natural, as if he had not just chopped up someone's body and put it in a box of styrofoam, then gave orders to his men to spread the piece of meat for wild dogs to eat on the streets.
“Are you ready to go home?” ask Dr. Ana.
“Hum.”
“Mood you're better?”
“Oh, don't be too shy .. hey, you can use chair—“
“Forget it, I want to walk .. too long lying down and sitting in a wheelchair makes me feel like a disabled person.” Lorie interrupted Doctor Ana's words and continued walking towards the door.
Doctor Ana rolled her eyeballs and replied, “See if you faint before reaching the car, I won't carry you.”
Lorie just chuckled softly and continued walking. Although with a very slow and slow step, he managed to reach the elevator without the help of Doctor Ana.
“How did Mr Alex send them here? Inside the wooden crate ... did he send it through the cargo of goods?” ask Lorie who is still curious how Alex Smith brought Rafael and his men to Broocklyn.
“Well, it was indeed sent through cargo goods,” replied Doctor Ana while raising her shoulders.
“Oh .. it's worth it that he wants death.”
“And you gave it in a painful way.”
“Well ... I've warned him before.”
The conversation paused when the elevator door opened. Doctor Ana steps out first, followed by Lorie who does not look okay. His face looked a little bit paler. After walking a few steps towards the car parked in the basement, his body began to tremble. He leaned against the wall and regulated his breathless breathing.
“Are you going to faint?” doctor Ana asks while choking and looks at Lorie. “A little more we get to , at least faint when we are already in the car.”
“Fucking basis,” maki Lorie while grinning restrained laughter as well as pain. Now he was a little sorry because he was stubborn and did not want to use a wheelchair.
“If you really want to keep the baby, next time try to listen more to me,” said Doctor Ana while memapah Lorie.
“OK, I was wrong, Doctor .. forgive me ...”
“What is the lower part of your stomach hurting?”
“Slight ...”
“After arriving in the Spring Mountains, rest for at least a week. Don't do anything, including revenge, to anyone. Okay?”
“Oke.”
Ana opens the car door and helps Lorie put her seatbelt on. He drove the car to the Smith house.
Beside her, Lorie leaned against the chair and closed her eyes. Cold sweat soaked his forehead and back.
“Can I faint?” he murmured in a very slow voice.
Doctor Ana turned a glance and replied, “Ya. Do whatever you want.”
The corners of Lorie's lips twitched. He wanted to laugh but his head throbbed violently whenever his nerves were attracted due to even a very small movement. In the end he simply closed down and tried to sleep, hoping that his strength had already recovered upon arriving at the Spring Mountains.
