Now Elie knows what happened to her friend Veronica. Surprised for sure because his friend was almost raped by someone. Elie does not know if the man is the chairman of the Sinaloa Cartel who previously targeted her and eventually targeted Veronica, instead of not being able to fuck the daughter of the Romanov Family.
Darren did not explain to Elie and Veronica. Let it be a secret between her and Arthur, for if Elie had known the truth, she would have made the calculations. Arthur and Darren only minimize the rash action that will be done by Elie.
"I've contacted Mandy to accompany you. He'll be here any minute, bringing you food and a change of clothes" Elie said as she prepared her lunch. He and Veronica were brought food by one of the men on his orders, because Veronica was not fond of hospital food.
"Hem, thank you Elie. You and Mandy are my best friends. If you hadn't come, I'd be completely alone here." Veronica's eyes condense, the woman has no kinsmen and is always alone, until Elie and Mandy's presence becomes a light for her and the two are already regarded as family by her.
"No need to be confused. If you need anything, you can call me and I've asked Darren to take care of you."
Hearing the man's name being called, Veronica pegged for a moment, then looked at Elie full of question marks. "Why should he? I'm..."
"Why, hm? Does he make you uncomfortable?" Elie could guess if Darren's cold, stiff attitude must have made Veronica feel uncomfortable.
Veronica nodded quickly. "I'm not used to talking to him. He only answered a little, it seemed like he was a typical man who was stingy talking."
Hearing Veronica's complaint made Elie chuckle. "Der is like that, but he's a really nice guy."
Veronica's eyes look sharp, she is a little suspicious of the relationship, because Elie seems to know the man named Darren well. "It seems you know him well. Do you guys actually secretly have a special relationship?"
When she heard Veronica's words, Elie smothered her friend's mouth. He did not want anyone to hear their words and misunderstand them. "Don't talk recklessly, Vero!" reproofs.
Veronica pulled Elie's hand from her lips, she could barely breathe for a moment. "God you want to torture me," his grunts throbbed. "After all, I was just joking. There's no way you have a relationship with him, you already have that handsome, rich Mr. Mikel. So I'll support you along with Mr. Mikel."
"Vero!" Both of Elie's eyes bought full of warning. His friend's mouth really has to be conditioned first. And hearing the name Mikel called, Elie suddenly recalled the man who had disappeared for several days, when before the perverted man said he would visit him again. Did he expect that man would come to see him? I don't know, he himself didn't understand his current feelings towards the man.
"I'm sorry to interrupt." Darren's voice that was already standing in the doorway distracted Elie and Veronica, both compactly turning towards the door. Without waiting for the answer from the two beautiful women, Darren darted in and took a quick step towards Elie, not caring for the look in Veronica's eyes that kept watching him.
"Miss, Aunt Elle is in front of Ar's room and only Miss can possibly calm him down." Darren whispered behind Elie's ear, his voice of course not reaching Veronica's ears, even though the woman had tried to sharpen her hearing.
"What does he whisper? Do they really have no relationship?" Veronica sat down while looking. Various allegations about the secret relationship between the two really disturbed him.
Elie stood up, of course she was surprised to hear Darren's words. Wasn't what her brother was going through kept a secret from Mommy Elleana? But why was Mommy in the hospital? Elie then looked at Darren for an answer. Sure enough, Darren's gaze preached if anything happened there.
"I'll be there, Der. You accompany Vero here. Don't go anywhere before I go back" he said with orders. Of course Darren could not resist, because before he raised an objection, Elie had already walked away from Veronica's treatment room.
There was a sigh that Darren exhaled, again he had to be in a room with a woman for a long time. And Veronica could feel that the man was uncomfortable with her.
"What is their relationship really like? It was obvious they were very close." Veronica muttered after casting a glance towards the window. Ever since the man walked into the room, his gaze towards Elie was very different. There is a noticeable difference in Darren's attitude when with him and when interacting with Elie.
"Don't think no. Everything you see isn't what you think." Yes, it turns out that Darren can hear the woman's murmur.
"I-I didn't think of anything, you misheard," she said evasively.
Darren did not say back, the man was silent like a statue. But keep running Elie's orders to always be in Veronica's room.

The sound of small running footsteps in the hospital aisle seized the attention of several men, not least Jack who was still in front of the room waiting for Arthur who was in there. Jack's face looked agitated. Yes, since he was rushed back to the hospital, Arthur's condition has decreased, which is why he contacted his boss. But who would have guessed if the wife of the boss was accidentally overheard their conversation on the phone.
"You shouldn't hide Ar's condition from me. I'm his Mommy, I deserve to know my son's situation." Elleana's ever-soft and shady gaze was full of disappointment staring at her husband.
"Sweety, listen...." Xavier clasped his wife's two shoulders, looking disappointed and sad at once. But he tried to understand his wife and calm her. "I'm sorry, I just don't want to make you anxious" she explained. He did not want his wife to think too much. Let him find a way out to suppress his son's Alter Ego.
"But he's my son!" Elleana brushed Xavier's hands off his shoulders. "How can Ar live under such circumstances, let alone endanger himself. I really can't imagine my son Ar having to fight himself. You won't understand Hubby, but I as the mother who gave birth just want Ar to share with me, not just share with you," he sobbed, he felt failed to be a Mommy, he felt like he was a mother, for not paying attention to the health of his son. Even he heard himself that if the figure was controlling his son, he was determined and could endanger himself as it had been for several hours.
Xavier embraces Elleana's body, bringing her into his arms. Repeatedly peeping the top of his wife's head to provide calm.
"I'm sorry.I'm sorry Sweety. Me and Ar just don't want to worry you. We don't want your health to be compromised, because lately you've always been looking unwell."
"But I...." Elleana hiccups in her husband's arms.
"Sshhttt, listen Sweety, Ar is my son, our son. You don't have to be jealous because he's more open to me, that's what Ar does because he loves you so much and doesn't want to make you sick if you worry about him too much" she explained softly. Xavier again sprinkled a kiss on the top of his wife's still-instruck head.
Elie did not take her eyes off her parents. Their conversation can certainly be heard by him, so he concluded that his Mommy already knows the condition of his brother who has Alter Ego. But what makes his mind disturbed is his Mommy emotions that look so sad and hit. Must not be just about the matter of Alter Ego, maybe something bad happened to her brother? thought.
Elie then stepped closer, shaking off the distance between them. "Mom's... Dad.... Is brother Ar okay?" ask her with a gaze waiting for an answer, because both parents just flinch.
"Ar critical, your brother's in a coma." Elleana wasn't strong enough to deliver the stifling news, so it was Xavier who answered her daughter's questions without loosening the hug on her wife.
Elie's chest felt tight to hear it, his lips clenched with a body that was almost limp if he was not as strong as his strength to hold his balance. It was fitting that from now on he felt an unpleasant feeling and it was fitting that his Mommy was so beaten, it turned out that in there his brother was struggling.
