Darren was inside one of the VIP rooms, his body leaning against the wall, his hands crossed in front of his chest. Since then the look in his eyes did not turn to look at the woman who was still unconscious in the hospital bed. I don't know what the man was thinking so he didn't move a second from there.
Yes, he was indeed tasked with guarding Veronica by Xavier. Since his boss and friend were unconscious from being hit by two bullets in his body, he obeyed any orders from the middle-aged man who was also the boss of his Daddy, Jack. Especially when he tells what really happened to that woman who had to replace Elie to fulfill the desires of a bastard like Vasco. Naturally Xavier is inflamed and requires Darren to look after as long as the woman has no family to visit him.
Darren was still stunned in his place, not even realizing that someone had entered the room and noticed that he had not turned away from the beautiful woman on the bed.
"What are you thinking, Der?"
Darren flinched, he turned to the origin of a heavy voice that was certainly not unfamiliar. "Dad?" said stunned. Yes, that someone is Jack, the right-hand man of Xavier's trust to date.
"You like it?" Jack went straight to the point. That's how Jack can never mince words.
Both of Darren's eyebrows seemed confused when he heard Jack's question. He then followed Jack's gaze to the beautiful woman lying weakly on the bed. In that instant he understood what was in his Daddy's mind.
"No," she said quickly. Before Jack's mind wandered. "You know Dad, I can't possibly like any woman" he said honestly.
Jack nodded while giving a thin smile. "You still expecting Elie?"
Darren is not surprised if his Daddy finds out his feelings for Elie, Uncle Xavier's boss' daughter. All this time his Daddy was always sensitive to anything around him. Long silent, Darren finally shook his head.
"Loving someone doesn't have to be. Miss Elie has the right to choose the life partner she wants, especially as if she has found a replacement for Mike" Darren said without looking at Jack. His gaze unconsciously only focused on Veronica who was still at home closing her eyes.
Jack looks back nodding, he is not surprised to hear the wise words of his son. "You're right. After all we are family. Elie already thinks of you as her sister. Don't make our family relationship complicated." Jack's hand landed on Darren's shoulder, patting him to give his son strength.
Hearing Jack's advice, Darren nodded in understanding. That is why he does not want to express his feelings, from the beginning he did not want his feelings to be welcomed. Seeing her happy was enough for her. Naive? Of course not, from the beginning he was determined to always protect and keep the people around him.
Silent
Both of them dissolve in their minds. Darren went back into silence thinking that had disturbed his mind since.
"Dad, so all this time you know that Ar has Alter Ego?" his question broke the silence that had surrounded. Apparently, Darren had been thinking about what Arthur was going through. Really, he did not know anything even 24 hours with his friend.
Long Jack replied, before then nodding. "Just the boss forbid me not to tell anyone. Let the boss and I guard from a distance, so that the other side of Ar does no harm to anyone, including himself."
"Then leave it to me. Dad and Uncle Xavier don't have to watch Ar anymore." Darren offered himself. For him, Arthur's safety is also his responsibility.
Jack agreed. He was too old to run around here and there, his strength was not as strong as when young who was always deft to carry out the task. After all his duties become reduced, he can make love all day with Millie without interference from her boss who is still very annoying it.
The ringing sound of Jack's cell phone made the handsome middle-aged man immediately answer him. "Me and Der will be there" he said and immediately disconnected the call of one man who was standing guard in front of Arthur's treatment room.
Jack ran out of the room first after asking Darren to go to Arthur's room with him. The understanding Darren followed behind in a hurry. Something must have happened to Arthur.
"YOU WANT TO DIE AT MY HANDS HUH?!" The scream was heard clearly in front of the door of the room so that Jack and Darren gasped to see Arthur was rampaging.
"Ar, relax. Don't let him rule you!" Xavier tried to calm down in his own way.
"FUCKING. YOU GUYS REALLY MAKE ME SICK!!"
"Sister, don't be like this. All this time even though you were angry, you never said rude and disrespectful to us like this!" Austin could not accept if his brother turned into an arrogant man and really did not become himself.
"SILENCE! You're just a kid who doesn't know anything!"
Austin gasped as Arthur snapped at him. She preferred her cold but still soft brother to say to her. Compared to Arthur who was currently looking at her hostility with him as well as the others.
"Be quiet you old man! I'm not talking to you!" hard on Xavier. Even the Killer figure was completely disrespectful to Xavier.
Xavier endured his rage. He has been trying to be patient. Approaching his son, he sat on the bed with a rope that tied Arthur's hands together.
"I told you. Don't call me old man, can't you see if I'm I'm more handsome than you, heh?!" Really if the one who said it was not his own son, he had killed Arthur since then. "Even my wife always praised my greatness in bed. That proves that I'm young, not the old man you said I was!" he is angry and shameless.
"Dad done....." Austin mediates. At a time like this his Daddy still speaks absurd which certainly makes Jack, Darren and Doctor Oscar stunned.
"I don't care! Untie the bond in my hand! I have to kill the old man!" Arthur yelled again, not caring about Xavier's previous words. Now eliminating Alan Born is all that matters to him.
"Ar, don't be rash. You need to be able to control your emotions!" This time Doctor Oscar spoke after previously just silently paying attention to the attitude of Arthur who really has been mastered the other side.
"I TOLD YOU I'M NOT AR!" Arthur increasingly frenzied to pull both hands, trying to make the rope bond on his wrist can be released. But instead of being released, the injured arm and palm bleed fresh, it can be ascertained if the wound re-opened.
"AR STOP! YOU'LL ONLY HURT YOURSELF!" Xavier is angry when Arthur hurts himself. Although he and the others felt strange because Arthur did not feel pain in the two injured hands.
"Sir Ar calm down. We'll teach them a lesson, but when you're in shape." Austin was angry. His calm and dignified brother turned so arrogant at once and it was another form of rebellion that was within the older brother.
"I'M FINE. I WAS ABLE TO KILL HUNDREDS OF ENEMIES WITHOUT YOU AND I TOLD YOU I'M NOT AR. ARE YOU DEAF, HUH!" But what's inside the body is the killer. No matter how calm they are, Arthur doesn't care.
"Oscar, calm Ar at all costs. Ar doesn't want to listen to me, it seems like the other side is really mastering it right now." Xavier looked riled up. It's run out of sense to make Ar back to the way it was. Usually Ar is able to press the other side of it because it does not want to make anyone around him hurt.
"Okay uncle, I'll re-inject the dope on him." Oscar has prepared a special cure for Arthur as he has. Medications that do not have any side effects, other than making you fall asleep.
"Her...." Xavier is with deheman.
Austin and Darren attempt to hold Arthur's two arms back in rebellion. Xavier had to close his eyes as blood flowed from his eldest son's hands. Just a few hours ago, Arthur received a blood donation from Austin, because while cleaning Vasco and the Sinaloa Cartel, Arthur had to lose a lot of blood.
Jack approached his boss who looked very upset. "Boss, Mrs Boss is calling. You better answer first so Madam Boss doesn't worry about you."
Xavier turned his head instantly, distracting him from Arthur who was already calmer after receiving the dope. He glanced at the cell phone in Jack's hand. "I forgot to tell my wife Jack" she complained. Yes, because he was too busy taking care of and calming Arthur, Xavier even forgot his wife who he had never forgotten for a second.
"You and As should go home, boss. Let me and Darren take care of Ar. You don't want to make your wife suspicious, do you?" Jack gave the best advice in his opinion.
Xavier nodded. "You're right Jack. He'll suspect me if you leave the Mansion too long." Then Xavier snatched his phone from Jack's hand. He would contact his wife outside the room before she was angry with him and would make him sleep in another room. No, Xavier would not let that happen, for a second he could not fall asleep without hugging his beloved wife.
