The Cold Wife
Chapter 60

Thirty minutes later Sweet was silent. Letting the man in front of her wait. Sweet did decide to meet Bian after coming home from the hospital.

Sweet's eyes moved slightly, locking onto the man's brown eyes. "I want it."

Those brown eyes exuded full happiness. "Are you sure?"

Sweet nodded slowly, as if unsure of the decision he made.

"I'll give Hanz this good news. He must be happy to hear it" said Bian moving his wheelchair towards the desk. Pick up the phone and call Hanz.

Sweet walked slowly towards the balcony, staring fixed view of the city of Surabaya from the top of the skyscraper. Hugged himself. Although his body was there, but not with his mind.

***

The next day, Sweet was in a shopping center in Surabaya. Beside him stood the figure of a tall man, namely Hanz.

Hanz's hand moved to reach Sweet's fingers. He hooked his five fingers there. Hanz was delighted, as there was no rejection from Sweet. The woman was still silent with a straight forward look.

"You want to eat first? I know since morning you haven't touched the food. I won't let you get sick" Hanz told Sweet. Sweet raised his head to look at Hanz. The first thing he saw was not Hanz's face. Alex's face was smiling at him. Such a sincere smile.

Sweet regained his senses, and immediately turned his face away. What the hell am I thinking? Inner Sweet.

"What's wrong?" hanz asked when he realized something was wrong with Sweet.

"Nothing," Sweet said flatly. His mind was filled with Alex.

"You haven't answered my first question yet" Hanz said.

Sweet took a deep breath, "it's up to you."

"Well, what if we have a wedding tomorrow?"

Hanz managed to get a sharp glare from Sweet.

"I'm sorry, I thought you'd give me the same answer." Hanz smiled as he looked at Sweet's annoyed face.

"I want to buy shoes" Sweet said. Hanz immediately agreed, and they walked towards the shoe store.

Sweet kept going around to look for the desired shoes. Hanz followed behind.

"Well, what a coincidence to meet Mr. Hanz and Mrs Alexander."

Sweet and Hanz immediately turned their heads as someone greeted him. Sweet was astonished, because the man was speaking German fluently.

Sweet glanced at Hanz, as he did not know the man.

"What are you doing here?" ask Hanz cynically. This made Sweet even more curious.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Gerald, the little friend of the man next to you. Also a close friend of your husband, Madam."

Sweet's face instantly turned flat upon hearing that.

"We'd better get going" Sweet told Hanz. But swiftly, Gerald held him back.

"Did you still not know if Alex was dying?"

Sweet turned around, looking at Gerald for an answer.

"I don't know what Alex likes about you, you're stubborn, hard to manage and you want to win on your own. Did you ever ask him, how did he find you here?"

Sweet still doesn't understand Gerald's direction.

"Just help Alex have to pay a lot for it. You better ask the man next to you, how your husband struggles to meet his children." Gerald gave a fierce look at Hanz.

"What does that mean?" ask Sweet to Hanz.

Gerald smiled wryly, then glanced at the circular watch in his hand.

"Operation? I don't understand what you're saying." Sweet looks upset.

"Ah, you stupid Alex." Gerald swore a little. But it can still be heard by Sweet.

"Say it clearly," Sweet pinta.

"Alex decided to speed up the operating schedule. That is today, it's just that his condition is not in favor of doing all that. You must immediately restrain him, because the consequences are fatal. My wife and I have her, but she's as stubborn as you. Alex just wanted his daughter to recover, ignoring her so weak."

Sweet fell silent, trying to digest everything Gerald said.

"That's impossible, the doctor didn't say anything about Alexa's surgery." Sweet shook his head in disbelief.

"Alex gave this to you" Gerald continued, giving Sweet an envelope.

With doubt, Sweet accepted. Then open the letter inside. Sweet's mouth is tightly clenched. The letter he received was a carai letter from Alex. There is also a wedding photo of him.

"Alex continues to survive because of you and his children. Maybe he looks strong, but the truth is he's quite weak."

"Three years ago, Alex was hit by a bullet and almost went through his heart. Some of his vitals suffered severe damage. A miracle, God still gave him a chance to live. Of course his recovery took a long time, and to date he still has deep wounds on his chest. He can't live a normal life like he used to." Gerald continued.

Sweet was stunned, continuing to turn all of Gerald's words on his head. What the hell are you doing? You idiot, why are you hiding all this from me? If anything happens to you, I won't forgive you, Alex. Inner Sweet.

Sweet put the letter back in the envelope. Then rushed to see Alex at the hospital.

Arriving at the hospital, Sweet ran straight to the operating room. Sweet was quite shocked when he saw the whereabouts of Nissa and Arnold there. His footsteps slowed down. Not only the two of them, it turned out that Ara and Arlan were also there. And one more thing, the woman Sweet saw yesterday afternoon was there too. Yes, it was Gilly.

Sweet's presence caught everyone's attention.

"Ana" said Nissa as she walked over to Sweet. Then the woman hugged him.

"Oh my God, I've been worried about you for a long time, Ana. We miss you," said Nissa.

"What's going on?" ask Sweet to Nissa.

"Alex is running a transplant operation for Alexa. We're all worried about him, Alex's condition hasn't improved enough to run the operation for the third time."

"Third operation?" ask Sweet confused. Nissa broke her trap.

"Yes, this is the third time Alex has had surgery. Don't you know that?" Nissa looked at Sweet in wonder.

Sweet shook his head in response. His eyes kept moving to pay attention to everyone. Hoping to get answers to all the confusion he was experiencing.

Then, Gilly got up from the seat, walked quickly over to Sweet.

Plaque! A slap successfully landed on Sweet's smooth cheek. Everyone was shocked to see that.

"Hey, what are you doing?" ara asked slightly pushing Gilly's body away from Sweet.

"She deserves that slap, how can you not have the feeling of being a woman, huh? If you hadn't asked for a divorce, Alex wouldn't have made this crazy decision. Do you have any idea how much Alex sacrificed for your family, as well as for you? Then what you gave her, you broke her hope for life."

Sweet fell silent, trying to understand all of Gilly's words.

"I don't know how he could love you. You never even saw that love once" Gilly said in frustration.

"Even he ignored my love all along, only for a proud woman like you. Do you know, huh? Alex almost died because of you, too, surviving a year in the hospital for you."

"Enough!" Someone shouted while holding Gilly's body that was about to attack Sweet. Yeah, he's Gerald.

The newly arrived Hanz helps Sweet, embracing the weak body of the woman.

"Before that, anger will not solve everything. And you Sweet, sit down. I know you need an explanation, because your husband won't say anything about what happened. Because he doesn't want you to feel guilty about him" Gerald said, hugging Gilly.

Hanz helped Sweet to sit down, as the woman did not give any reaction. It seems like Sweet is really hit with what he is going through right now. Confused, that's what Sweet feels right now.

Everyone did not dare to respond either. Because the current condition is quite stressful. Alex and Alexa are still fighting life and death in there. Sweet saw the operating lights still on. That means the operation is underway. His feelings are mixed. He could only pray inwardly, asking for salvation for the two most important people in his life. Sweet made the chest of Hanz's field as a backrest, vaporizing all the tightness in his chest.
