The Cold Wife
Chapter 63

Sweet kept pacing in front of the operating room door. Feeling anxious because the operation is not over. He's really scared. Fear of losing the two people he loved.

"Oh Allah, I beg you." He said as he continued to look at the door. I hope that the door opens soon and gives good news. Until a touch on the shoulder managed to surprise Sweet. He turned around, to see the figure. The first thing he found was Nissa's shady gaze.

"I'm scared, Ma'am." Sweet splashed in Nissa's arms. Hope that anxious feeling fades a little.

"Sit down, God willing, they're fine." Nissa rubbed Sweet's back gently. Then take him to sit down.

"Chey, now you just know fear? Aren't you such a proud woman?" Read Gilly who is still not satisfied corner Sweet. Of course it caught the attention of everyone, including Sweet.

"Stop talking" Gerald told Gilly. The woman did not heed the words of her husband.

"Am I wrong? If only he didn't want a divorce...."

"Enough!" Cut Sweet while getting out of position. Look at the woman with a sharp look.

"Maybe you could've blamed all this on me. But you never forget, it all started with your lies. You want to separate us and work with that crazy woman, don't you? What's the difference between you and me? So shut the fuck up, before I throw you out."

Everyone was quite shocked to see Sweet's firm demeanor. Alex loved her so much. Thought Arnold.

Sweet's threat managed to make the woman's guts shrivel and choose to be silent.

Sweet sat back down, "everyone is worried. And he talks so much."

Nissa smiled faintly, hearing Sweet's nagging was good luck to her. Since the first time I met her, she didn't talk much. However, this time Nissa saw the other side of him.

Nissa hugged Sweet's shoulder, "Alex would smile if he saw you like this."

Sweet looked down weakly, and took a deep breath. "I miss that smile, Ma'am."

Hearing that, Nissa pulled Sweet in her arms. There are no words that can be said. It's just, he hopes the warm feeling he gives can give strength to Sweet.

Not long after, the door of the room opened. A middle-aged doctor came out in sweat-filled clothes. Sweet immediately woke up, walking hastily towards him. Followed by others.

"How are they doing, Doc?" sweet asked who subconsciously held the middle-aged man's hand.

"Thank God the operation went well, it's just...." The doctor hung up his words, looking at Sweet stickily .Makes everyone feel anxious.

"Say, Doc." Sweet Pinta.

"Sir Alex is still not past his critical period. We warned him from the beginning not to do this operation, but he was stubborn. He also had a heart attack. So, whatever happens. I hope Mom and Dad can accept it with sincerity. But we all have the same hope" explained the doctor.

Sweet was silent for a moment, his breathing seemed to be choking. "Please, please do your best for my husband, Doc."

"Of course, we will keep trying as much as possible. For a while we'll move the patient to the transition room."

"Good, Doc. Thank you" said Arnold.

Sweet's body went limp for a moment. Luckily Hanz was so alert and held the woman's body back from falling. Everyone was shocked to see Sweet's current condition.

"Take him sit down" Nissa told Hanz. The man immediately took Sweet to sit down.

"Ana, drink it." Nissa gave Sweet a bottle of minerals. And help her drink.

"Mommy," cried two young children who ran over to Sweet. Not far behind them was Joshua carrying two of their bags. Sweet was shocked to see the presence of his children.

Gilly, who had not known Sweet had three twins, was surprised. His mouth was wide open, when he saw the faces of the two children who were very similar to Alex.

"Sorry, Madam. I purposely brought them," Joshua said slightly bowed.

"Why did you bring them here?" tanya Sweet gave a sharp look at Joshua.

"I saw they were about to take a taxi, so I had to bring them here."

Hearing that, Sweet immediately looked at his two sons. Arez and Arel immediately lowered their heads when they received a murderous gaze from Sweet.

"Arel kept begging to see Daddy." Arez began to open his mouth without daring to look at Mommy.

"Arel is sorry" Arel said, drawing closer to Sweet.

Sweet let out a long sigh, then pulled his two sons in a fist. "Why not call Mommy first, huh? Going without parents is dangerous, baby."

"Sorry, Mom." Say both in unison.

"They're very similar to little Alex" Nissa whispered to Arnold. They already knew about the twins, only they had not seen their appearance clearly.

"Yes, they're his sons. Surely they look alike" said Arnold. Nissa nodded, with her gaze still fixed on the twins.

Both Arez and Arel's attention was on everyone present. They look confused.

"Why is Mommy here? Where's Lexa?" ask Arel confused. Sweet looked at his two sons deeply.

"Daddy and Lexa are being treated by a doctor" Sweet replied hesitantly.

"What is Daddy sick of?" arel asked so innocently.

Sweet did not immediately reply, he was confused what to answer the twins.

Seeing the confusion in Sweet, Ara approached the twins. "Darling, your Daddy is helping Lexa heal. So now you help prayer. So Lexa and Daddy can be healthy fast."

"That means Daddy's sick too?" ask Arel again. Ara looked at Sweet.

"Is Daddy okay?" this time Arez asked. The child who already knows where to talk his parents feel anxious about the condition of the Daddy.

"Yes, Daddy is the strongest guy. So your Daddy is fine," replied Ara smiling sincerely.

"Arel wants to meet Daddy," whined Arel as he shook Sweet's hand.

"Yes, we'll meet Daddy." Sweet pulled Arel back in his arms.

The door to the operating room opened again. The doctors and nurses push Alexa and Alex's gurney out of the operating room. Take them to the transition room. To conduct supervision and intensive care.

Arel who saw the condition of the Daddy immediately shouted. "Daddy."

Sweet immediately restrained Arel who was about to run after Alex who had not been conscious. Sweet hugged Arel so tightly. "We're going to see Daddy, but not now."

"Mommy, is Daddy gonna be okay? Arez hasn't hugged and called him Daddy."

Sweet nodded and pulled Arez in his arms as well. "Daddy will hug you like this."

Everyone who saw it was sad. It felt like the twins were feeling right now.

Please, be aware for the sake of the children. They need you, Mommy. Sweet cried in his heart.

***

Currently only Sweet and his two children are allowed into the ICU. To see the condition of Alex who is still in a critical period. While the other family can only see Alex's condition from behind the glass barrier.

Sweet's heart was so sliced when she saw her husband still lying weakly on top of the gurney. Filled with various tools in his body.

Sweet approached Alex, gently grasping Alex's weak hand. Sweet cried, unable to see Alex's weak condition as it is today.

"Wake up, they want to see you. They still need your upbringing, ma'am." Sweet pecked at Alex's back. Then turned to look at his two sons who were still standing, staring at the weakly lying Alex.

"Mommy, why won't Daddy wake up? Is Daddy mad at us?" tanya Arel put on a sad face.

"Daddy is sick" whispered Arez. His eyes were not off Alex.

Dad, I'm sorry. Inner Arez felt guilty for all his previous attitudes towards Alex.

"Alright, get Daddy talking to you." Sweet asks Arel and Arez to get on the chair. Let them see Alex. The two children looked at Alex's face so closely.

"Dad, why don't you open your eyes?" arel asked while touching Alex's cheek. Unlike Arez, he was still speechless as he continued to stare at Alex's pale face. Pay attention to the hospital tools attached to Alex's body.

"Mom, why doesn't Daddy listen to us? Is Daddy mad?" Arel kept asking. Makes Sweet even sadder and unable to answer.

"Dad, I'm sorry." Arez said trying to grab Alex's big hand.

"Now, I won't forbid you from hugging me again." Arez clasped Alex's fingers tightly.

"Look, they want to hear your voice, Mom. Wake up for them. I have kept my promise to give birth to your child. So get up, Mas. You promised to love me too, didn't you? I want to hear that now," Sweet said with all the chest tightness.

"Sorry, Buk. The patient should not stay close to outsiders for too long. His condition is still very vulnerable" said the nurse who had been watching them since. Alex's current condition does not allow for them to linger there.

Sweet nodded small. "I have to see our daughter, she'll be angry if ignored. Come to your senses, we're waiting for you." Sweet peeked at Alex. And then with a heavy heart left Alex with the nurse. Let the doctors and nurses take good care of him. Sweet was only able to watch her from the outside. And give Alex his best prayer.
