"Oh shit! I hate that fact" Dallen choked in his heart when it came to that fact. Malvin lived without a family for years, so it was no wonder he never cared or believed in anyone else he had just known. Even if you remember, to work with Malvin alone is quite difficult for Dallen and requires a lot of struggle for the man to want to believe fully in himself. "So don't ask me to care about him, let alone that he's a stranger whose name we don't even know. How could I possibly trouble myself just to help her, paid for the hospital and surgery after I was forced to get soaked in the rain and take her to the hospital while I was tired and wanted to go home quickly. Fuck that pity." Malvin Grous.

"Oh come on, sir, don't be like this, please help him. As human beings, we should help each other. I beg you.." Dallen pleaded very, although he knew Malvin was not a typical person who would easily melt, his heart was too hard to share a stone, he said, and too cold a chunk of ice exceeds a chunk of ice at any pole of the earth. "I don't want to! Once again you whine like that, I cut your pay! It's ridiculous." Malvin pressed his sentence.

"Oh, or so. You help pay for the surgery and hospital fees first, and after that in exchange you can cut my salary. How's it?" Dallen proposed, he certainly did not want to stay silent; especially after knowing that the woman in the outpatient room there is in a bad state and must be handled immediately. His conscience is too strong not to help him. "You're really stubborn. I said no!" Malvin pressed his words.

"Sir, I beg you, sir imagine it anyway. That woman really needs our help, what if she dies?"

"I don't care if he dies though." Malvin who managed to make Dallen frustrated, lucky Dallen is not a person who easily gives up after being rejected repeatedly. "But sir, saving one man's life is a very noble thing." Dallen's still trying.

"I don't care! Do I have to spell it out for you?" Malvin insists. Dallen again pleaded before his master, asking strongly that he would help Glenda who was lying helplessly in her ward. Malvin was so upset that Dallen was unruly and so stubborn, the persistent Dallen even begged him to say that he would kneel before him so that Malvin would help him. Then after going through a debate that was long and wide and high; finally Malvin gave up and was willing to help him. With very forced of course because Dallen really managed to bother him and he hated it, hearing what was said by Malvin managed to make Dallen smile happily. The man's face was now adorned by a smile that revealed a row of white teeth. The two of them then went to the administration to take care of everything. After completing the payment, Malvin said that he wanted to go home soon; dallen drove him home first and then back to the hospital to look after Glenda and make sure she was safe until she was aware of her stings.

Glenda opened her eyes, only to realize the next day after her body was filled with bandages and plaster attached to some parts of her body. He looked around, and he realized he was in the hospital after he saw a nurse who was checking his vitals. The sister turned her head when she realized she was conscious. Rushing he went to call the doctor to let him know he was conscious. Glenda was silent, asking herself what had happened. But his question was answered after he was able to find all the memories of what he experienced. "I remember now.. So they took me to the hospital?" His mind when he remembered who had helped him last night when he fell into the abyss until he had felt that he was dead but then came back to life.

"About what happened to get your body hurt like this?"

"I fell into the abyss, after being unconscious for so long that I thought I was dead. Then I woke up and tried to find my mother, but there was nowhere. I continued walking, trying to get out of the forest until I found a paved road and met with.." Glenda was silent for a moment. While the doctor and nurse who initially examined the vital signs were just silent and listened carefully. "By the way, where's the guy who helped me doc? I wanted to meet him to thank him for giving me a ride until I could get here."

"He's out for a while having business, at lunchtime he'll just be here to check on you again. If he comes here I'll tell him you want to meet him." Said doctor. Glenda smiled wryly at the doctor, "thank you doc." The doctor nodded slowly.

"So apparently, it's worth your condition pretty bad." The doctor again shifted the conversation to its core focus. "Compensed doc? How bad?" Glenda surprised.

"Something bad about the fall you've been through, some parts of your body are bruised and some parts of your internal organs are damaged. But you take it easy, 'cause you've been through surgery and you're just waiting for recovery." Obviously doctor. "Operation doc? But...who pays the hospital fees?" Glenda was surprised.

"You take it easy because everything has been taken care of by the handsome man who helped you and brought you here last night, the man was in a suit and always dressed. He seems to be a businessman or something" he said. "Eh?" Glenda fell silent, only to realize that the person who helped her was dressed like that. Previously he could not remember clearly how the person who had helped him was dressed. "Alright because your condition has begun to improve, you only need to rest until the recovery period is complete. After that you will be able to leave this hospital; during your recovery you will be checked periodically by the nurses and nurses I have assigned before."

"Good, doc. Thank you." Thank you."

"I'll excuse you, then" said the doctor.
