“Pickle Fire?”
Maya's eyes widened when she received the doctor's diagnosis of her illness. At first glance, a sense of disgust for the disease that is currently occupying his body.
He always lived in a clean, hygienic upscale style. How could he possibly get a dirty skin disease like chickenpox?
It was only fitting that his entire body felt itchy and hot immeasurably, not to mention the red patches that appeared on the surface of his skin that would definitely leave ugly marks on his smooth skin. If this is the bad effect of this disease on her skin, then Maya must immediately contact her skin beauty care doctor after this to perform a laser procedure to remove the ugly traces of smallpox traces on her body.
Maya is so busy with her own thoughts that she barely hears about the doctor giving her some advice such as not scratching her body and keeping it indoors and not making contact with others because fire pox is known to be very contagious.
The doctor quickly asked if Maya might be pregnant because smallpox could harm pregnant women. After all is confirmed safe and Maya is not pregnant, then the doctor prescribes antivirals, including, immune system boosters and pain relievers for Maya and advised Maya to reduce her activity for a few days until her immune system managed to fight the disease.
After getting the cure, Maya steps out of the check room and walks quickly to the lobby to ask to be picked up by the driver in front.
While waiting, his eyes scoured the entire side of the affordable hospital in his eye gaze and snorted.
This is the same hospital where Elana was treated upstairs. If it wasn't for this being the biggest and nicest hospital in town, where Maya is here and there is near the figure of a lowly woman who for now managed to climb up and exceed it by using her body.
Anger enveloped Maya's heart and made her hands clenched.
For now maybe he should focus on his illness first, looking for the best way to heal. At least the pain should have subsided so that if the Dimitri promised by Edward had come to this country and arranged an appointment with him, Maya could have met him with a convincing appearance, not with the condition of pain and ugly pockmarked face because of the former fire pox.
While Maya is busy daydreaming, the figure of a nurse walking from the opposite direction to her suddenly comes into contact with her and bumps into her. The collision was hard enough that Maya was not feeling well until she took a few steps back to hold herself back from falling.
Maya's eyes glared wide as she looked at the female nurse angrily, she was about to yell but the nurse bent over to apologize to her so Maya could say nothing but nod her head. After all, this lobby is a lot of people, he must take care of his image and must not look bad and angry just because he was hit by a lowly nurse.
The nurse moved away after apologizing once more which Maya halfheartedly accepted while swearing in her heart and she even had time to expect the worst for the nurse, that the nurse contracted her pain and suffered just as much as she did.
Maya was about to leave grumbling when the conversation between the two nurses behind her caught her attention.
“How, has the vitamin order for our VVIP super patient come?” a nurse approaching was heard greeting.
“So I checked into the arrival of the medicine, but he said he will arrive from Germany later in the afternoon,” replied the nurse who hit him earlier.
As soon as she heard the word VVIP super patient, Maya's ears were firmly attached, because she knew, who else in this hospital could get the privilege of being a VVIP patient other than Elana? Yesterday, the place where the woman was treated was very luxurious and even got a separate floor in this large hospital to maintain the privacy of patients and their families. After all, it was certain that with the wealth and power that Akram Night possessed, the man would obviously choose the best facilities for his women.
“The pregnancy vitamin is very expensive. It looks like the family of the VVIP super patient is so rich that it ordered the very expensive pregnancy vitamin directly from its German plant. If only I could have a husband like that.”.
The nurse talked to each other as she walked away until the sound of their conversation was heard no more. While Maya's body is fixated rigidly when it receives the information she heard accidentally and unexpectedly it.
Pregnancy vitamins? .... pregnant? Elana is pregnant?

“It's done?”
The night had passed and was approaching the early hours of the morning when Xavier received a call from Credence. The sound of sirens mingled with the hum of low human conversation behind Credence.
“Edward has been arrested. He won't be able to run anymore. All the evidence I've given to the right people. Soon, Edward and everyone involved with this embezzlement will soon be arrested without exception.” Credence who was at the scene of the arrest replied in a stern tone. “Now, how are your plans?” tanyanya.
“Hide this arrest from the media and the press, as well as from anyone within the scope of the company. I'll make it look as if Edward is on holiday abroad so no one asks for his whereabouts in the company. Similarly, I'll keep Dimtri out of the way about Edward's arrest. Later after Dimitri came to this country and I cleaned it up, then we open it entirely to the press,”
“Ya?”
“Are you still sure not to say anything about this to Akram?”
Xavier grinned. “I think, without me saying it, Akram will know about this soon. He has eyes and ears everywhere. I'll try working with Akram, don't think about it.” Xavier said in a confident voice, then ended his conversation with Credence.

“Last feed, then take your vitamins.” Akram feeds a spoonful of food into the mouth of Elana who receives it with pleasure. As Elana was busy chewing, Akram looked at her with a full smile.“You don't feel nauseous anymore?” tanyanya gently.
Earlier, in the morning, Elana began to feel nausea and bad taste all over her body, her stomach was turbulent uncontrollably and several times Akram had to deliver her to the bathroom to vomit her entrails.
After that, Akram ordered special vitamins for pregnant women on the recommendation of Nathan doctors who were brought directly from his factory. According to doctor Nathan's recommendation, the vitamin can suppress the effects of nausea due to high levels of placental-forming hormones in the body of Elana. The vitamin has not yet come even though it has been delivered by lightning delivery, but thankfully, as the sun rises over the sky and the day continues night, he said, the nausea in Elana's stomach gradually subsided and disappeared completely when the sky was already dark.
Elana rubs her mouth with a white napkin proffered by Akram, then lets Akram take the napkin and dirty dishes before then putting it on a special table at the end of the room.
The janitor from the catering department will take the dirty dishes as scheduled later.
Slowly, Akram returned to the side of the bed and stepped to sit on the edge. The man looked at Elana lovingly, his hand moved to slip a strand of Elana's hair that had slipped behind his ear and pushed the woman's head slightly forward to kiss her forehead.
“I feel a little guilty seeing you nauseous in the morning.I think, it looks like I was too fussy on you last night,” whispered Akram attentively.
Elana's cheeks instantly flushed red as Akram recalled the incredible experience the man patiently taught her last night.
Slowly Elana cleared her throat to shoo away the shy hue on her cheeks, her head looking up, looking at Akram solemnly.
“Doctor Nathan said it was natural for a pregnant woman to be nauseous in the morning because of the high concentration of hCG in her blood at that time. Not because of you… and I think this will continue to happen in the morning until the hCG hormone that plays an important role in the formation of the placenta completes its task and the baby's placenta is perfectly formed at the age of twelve to twenty weeks maximum.”.
Acram eyes widen. “So, you should continue to experience nausea and vomiting every morning for three or five months?” it's a little surprised. “I can't stand to see you nauseous like that. You're in a lot of pain. Vitamins recommended by doctor Nathan should work well to suppress your nausea, otherwise.”.
“Akram,” Elana touched her fingers into Akram's hands to hold any thoughts that might be in the man's mind. “This condition of my pregnancy is very good, especially when compared to those experienced by other pregnant women. I was reading a book about a pregnancy left by Nathan's doctor here, there are a lot of other pregnant women out there who are worse than me, they can nausea vomit all day even in such an excessive frequency that doctors have to give infusions to their bodies,” Elana smiled timidly. “After all, my nausea vomiting is completely gone at night, so.. to give me energy when vomiting in the morning and can not eat breakfast, I just need to eat a lot at night.”.
Elana's optimistic attitude dispelled the anxiety on Akram's face, the man smiled gently back with a little more calm.
“Then I will make sure they bring a lot of food for you at night, with complete nutrition of course,” he decided. For a moment, Akram seemed hesitant, then he finally spoke while assessing Elana's reaction to his words. “In your opinion, if I schedule a daily USG check, do you mind?”
Usually, in the past, Akram will decide everything on his own without feeling the need to bother listening to Elana's opinion. But now, Akram has learned that a relationship will work in balance if both sides learn to compromise and respect each other's opinions. That is why she softened her heart and lowered her dominant stubbornness and was willing to ask for Elana's opinion first before deciding on matters concerning Elana's pregnancy.
Elana's eyes widened in surprise at Akram's suggestion.
“No pregnant woman in the world does ultrasound checks every day. Babies who are healthy and not indicated to be problematic, only require ultrasound examination once in a month, and when it is approaching the age of 9 months new ultrasound is done every week, he said,” Elana spoke in a definite tone because she still clearly remembered what Nathan's doctor said after his first ultrasound process.
Acram thinning lips. “I just want to see my son every day and make sure he is fine,” the man has a sulking expression that inexplicably tickles Elana's mind and forces his smile to widen. “Again, USG is an examination using sound waves, does not involve harmful X ray radiation done on X-rays, so USG can be done as often as possible. Would you also not be happy, to be able to see our child every day and get as many pictures as possible while being in your stomach?” he asked while looking at Elana with a deep piercing look.
The shadow of putting a daily USG photo in a special photo album does feel fun for Elana, but the logical mind of course can not be left alone, if Akram forced to do USG scheduling every day, he said, not only do they make doctors do redundant things, it will also interfere with their schedules later on.
Currently, Elana is in the hospital so it is easy for her to go back and forth doing ultrasound, but later if she has returned home, she said, it would be troublesome to arrange a schedule to go to a large hospital located in the middle of the city and is on a central line that is quite jammed at certain hours.
However, Elana knows Akram, and if she wants something, Akram can be very stubborn, the only way that Elana can take is to negotiate so that the man will soften her heart.
“How about... every two weeks?” once every two weeks is tolerable, too often compared to once a month, but at least not as often as if done every day.
Akram's expression darkened.
“No,” answered him in an undeniable stern tone.
Elana let out a long sigh, deliberately putting on a faint eye beam as she looked at the man.
“Akram, I.. I will be exhausted if I have to travel back and forth to the hospital every day to do USG..” he said slowly.
Akram narrowed his eyes, staring at Elana intently as if studying her.
“Then you can stay in this hospital until you give birth. Here it is safe and comfortable and medics will always be on hand in case anything happens. I think it was the right decision..”.
“No, Akram. I don't want to stay here until I give birth. Not willing,” Elana immediately denied as hard as she could. It was inconceivable that she would have to stay in the hospital, in this room and not live a normal human life for nine months until her son was born.
Elana looked at Akram carefully, then finally brought herself back to compromise.
“How about once a week?” he asked with a persuading voice.
For a moment Akram looked dumbfounded, but unclouded his head then nodded after considering everything.
“Alright, I can accept that once a week,” the man grinned. “We will set the USG schedule in the morning every weekend start, what do you think?”
Elana nodded her head. Holding his smile. Although Akram is currently showing his stubbornness, however, the knowledge that the man wants to see the condition of the baby in his stomach and monitor it every day, somehow feels so heartwarming.
Then suddenly, Akram's phone rang, interrupting their conversation. Akram asks Elana for permission to take a call there. The man greeted Elios who was his interlocutor across the street, before then listening to a barrage of explanations across the street, which seemed to be from Elios, and then his facial expression turned ghastly angry.
