"Master, I beg you. You want to, huh? Besides, she just wanted to thank you for helping her." Dallen once again pleaded as he continued to follow Malvin from behind, he had just met Glenda; and the woman wanted to meet Malvin as well to thank him in person for helping him when he fell in the ravine a few days ago. Malvin who followed him and stopped suddenly making him surprised and almost hit him, Malvin turned and looked at Dallen with a sharp gaze. Dallen swallowed his hard-earned saliva, he would definitely be sprayed all out by Malvin due to his stubbornness again. "I told you, no!" Pressing the final sentence.

Malvin turned around and continued his footsteps towards the elevator door, about to return to his study after enjoying his lunch time. Dallen had not given up; he rushed from behind and entered the same elevator. "But sir, is it hard? You just need to meet him for a while after that you can go again after he says thank you. I wouldn't spend an hour talking to him anyway" Dallen said.

"I don't want to! Besides what helped her from the start was that you weren't me, why should she thank me?" The elevator door opened, Malvin stepped out from inside there still with Dallen following him faithfully from behind. "But the master who has helped pay for the hospital fees and the operating costs, come on sir. Just a second, huh? Pity him, just imagine; he was alone in the hospital plus he had just finished his surgery. There's no way we're gonna let it go ourselves." Answer Dallen.

"I don't care, I'm always alone anyway. What's the problem with that?" Malvin glanced at Dallen. "Oh sir, that's a different case." Dallen growled himself, persuading a Malvin was the hardest thing he ever did. "I don't care" said Malvin indifferently, the man continued to step towards his study.

"Come on, sir, sir, sir!!!" Dallen began to whine, otherwise it would not have worked to persuade a Malvin. "No!" The answer was firm, Dallen continued to whine to make Malvin feel disturbed until finally giving up and willing to follow his request.

"Alright I want to, but just so you know. I did it just so you wouldn't keep bothering me, got it?!" He nodded towards Dallen. "OK understand, then let me get the car ready." Dallen went from there turning back to where they were coming. Malvin sighed harshly, if he did not comply with Dallen's request, surely the man would not stop bothering him until he would comply. For some reason, Malvin felt like a father who kept forcing his son to buy him candy.

"Glenda, this is mr.—I mean my boss Mr. Malvin, he is the one who has paid all your hospital fees and operating expenses," Dallen said, they are both currently in the hospital. Sitting together in the nursery where Glenda was. Glenda looked at Malvin fixedly, "oh my gosh, he was so handsome, even more handsome than that bastard Austin," Glenda said, smiling at him. "It's nice to meet you" Glenda said.

"But I'm not happy to see you, you're very troublesome to me" Malvin said with his hands folded in front of his chest. Glenda was surprised, as was Dallen beside her. "Master!" Dallen looked at him with a face of disbelief, he really did not expect that Malvin would speak so honestly. "Excuse my master's words, please be understood because he has a bad temper." Dallen apologized while smiling at Glenda.

"What did you say?" Malvin looked at him sharply. "A-ah.I mean he has a unique temperament! Yeah, unique!" Dallen smiled stiffly at Malvin who seemed annoyed with his sentence earlier. While Glenda was silent and watching the two, she smiled faintly and said, "sorry that I am troubling you for having to bring me here to pay for my hospital and surgery. I will not forget the kindness of your heart, I consider all this as my debt to you which I will definitely pay. If I'm out of the hospital; I promise I'll pay for everything." Glenda smiled knot. "Even though his words were quite blatant, but I liked the way he spoke. He's honest, even though maybe the person who hears him will feel bad because of the way he talks." Thought Glenda.

"It can't be like that, because you saved my life. If only you hadn't taken me to the hospital immediately and financed all his administration maybe now I wouldn't be able to talk to you the way I am today."

"Dallen asked for it, I did it just so he wouldn't keep bothering me." Sahut flat. Dallen could only scratch his head in frustration, Malvin never used a filter and spoke blatantly. "Stay, thank you to both of you. I owe you guys a lot." Glenda smiled knot.

"Mom?" Once again, he called out to her while patting the face of the middle-aged woman he found lying in the ravine unconscious. The woman slowly blinked, her two beads opened her eyes revealing her irish eyes. The woman smiled faintly as she found it slowly waking up. "Thank God you're sober" he said.

"A-argh... Where am I?" He grimaced as his entire body ached, he tried to get up but was held back by the woman who had just found him. "You're still in the woods, I just accidentally found you lying at the bottom of a ravine when I fell." Evidently.

"J-gorge?" He repeats and the woman nods her head in response. The middle-aged woman was silent for a moment trying to search for her lost memories before she was unconscious and found by him. "Oh... Glenda... Where's Glenda?" He panicked when his daughter could not be seen anywhere.

"The legend? Who's that?" He frowned confused.

"She's my daughter" Fidela said with a panicked look on her face. "I don't find anyone else but you down here, Mom."

"What?" Fidela felt tight when she heard she couldn't find Glenda anywhere. "What happened, really? You had an accident with your daughter and got into the ravine? But come to think of it, there was no car or vehicle above.." he muttered back, but it was true that there was no car he saw above before he fell.
