"Good day, Dad!."
Yura who was feeding Bryan immediately turned to the door upon hearing his daughter's voice. Her forehead shriveled in wonder looking at Patricia who appeared with a sweet smile on her lips.
'What is this? Why do I feel that the arrival of Patricia is not a good thing? What is he planning? She couldn't have hurt Bryan, right?.'
"Oh, Mom was here too. Good afternoon dear mother" said Patricia then kissed her mother on both cheeks.
"Cia, don't you go to work?" yura asked curiously.
"I may not work, Mom. Incidentally after this there was a meeting not far from this hospital. So yes all of you I went to see Dad because from the beginning Dad was in care I have not come to see him" replied Patricia. He then looked at his father. "Dad, how's Dad? Is it better? What about the person who harmed Dad, did the police manage to subdue him?."
Fucked with some questions by his daughter that he had never considered, somehow Bryan felt guilty. Perhaps what happened to Eleanor was also one of the effects of his attitude that always never cared about the happiness of his wife and adopted children. Not wanting his grief to be known by others, Bryan immediately asked Patricia to come closer.
"Patricia, come here son!."
Patricia was stunned at the way her father called out. This man's voice sounded so soft in his ears. Smiling, he then immediately sat down beside his father then looked at him confusedly.
"What's the matter Dad?" ask Patricia curious.
Before speaking, Bryan took a deep breath and then clasped his adopted daughter's hand tightly. "Dad wants to apologize for all the wrongs you've done so far, Cia. I'm sorry that I've always ignored you, I assume you and your mother don't exist. I'm sorry, son!."
Patricia's body stiffened at the apology from her father. He did not believe that the man he wanted to get rid of could be conscious in his last seconds. But the feeling of shock was only a glimpse because Patricia again solidified her heart to keep getting rid of Eleanor and then took all the wealth belonging to the Young Family. His heart had been too sick with his father's attitude all along. In addition, now his mother has changed, no longer giving him support after getting love from his father.
"Patricia, will you forgive Dad's mistakes? " ask Bryan again.
"Dad, what made you suddenly apologize to me? Didn't you like my being at home all this time?" ask Patricia suspicious.
It's not Patricia's name if she trusts her father's apology right away. He was sure that there must be something that triggered this man to be willing to weaken before him, even to his mother as well. While waiting for her father's answer, Patricia suddenly gasped when she realized something. Eleanor, yes she must be the reason her father did all this.
'Don't you think you've found Eleanor's whereabouts? Hence he was willing to willingly restrain his ego to apologize. I need to investigate right now. That damned girl mustn't make it into the Young Family's house before I take out their entire fortune!.'
"Dad knows what you've done has gone too far, Cia. Father regrets. And the only reason why I apologized to you is just because I wanted to open a new page with you" Bryan replied. He couldn't possibly mention the real reason if he did this for Eleanor's sake. Bryan wanted his wife and son to be willing to accept the presence of his biological daughter.
"Really just because of that, Dad? Isn't it because Dad wanted me to accept Eleanor when she returned home?" lick Patricia again with a sad face. "Dad, I'm just your adopted daughter. I have absolutely no rights in your home. So you don't have to do this all just out of fear that I can't accept Eleanor. I know who I am, Dad!."
Yura's hands squeezed each other tightly. Somehow he became very afraid of the innocent attitude that was being shown by Patricia. Her daughter now looks like a monster ready to kill anyone who wants to get in her way. Yura desperately wanted to stop her, but she herself was terrified because she had once agreed to Patricia's wish to eliminate Eleanor.
"Patricia, I don't have such feelings for you. Even if you're just an adopted daughter, I'll still treat you the same way Eleanor did when she came back. I will truly love you both fairly. I promised you son!."
Bryan. He did not expect that Patricia could find a reason why she did this. To be honest, there was as much concern in his mind considering that Patricia was not a stupid girl. Bryan could clearly see that there was anger in his eyes as he spoke earlier.
"Dad, the client is waiting for me. I'll take care of it!" patricia said indifferently while looking at the clock that was coiled in her hand. "Mom, I said yes. Oh yeah, where's Grandpa? Didn't Grandpa come here with Mom?."
"Ka, your grandfather is taking a walk in the hospital park, Cia" Yura replied nervously. "Darling, let me take you out. There's something I want to talk to you about."
"All right, ma'am, come on!" patricia answered while holding her mother's hand.
"What do you want to talk about? If it's about Eleanor then the answer is I will continue to move forward even though Mom no longer supports me. But if it's about anything else, maybe I still want to listen!."
Yura felt devastated at being treated like this by her daughter who was so dear to her. It was almost as if her tears were dripping if Patricia did not grieve in her presence.
"Patricia, Mom, Mom....
"Hurry Mom. I'm being waited on by my client" Patricia said impatiently.
"Cia, please stop all your plans. Did you hear yourself, didn't you think your father would be fair to you two later? Please don't jeopardize your own safety Cia. Your grandfather's men are now hunting down the men you've dispersed in search of Eleanor. I don't want you to go to jail, son!" yura said.
Patricia was a little shocked to hear her mother's complaint. A second later, he grinned. Although no longer giving support, the pity of his mother was still able to provide a gap for Patricia to avoid danger from her grandfather. With his sly smile, he waltzed away from there leaving his mother who was standing in confusion.
"Patricia, please listen to what you said, son!" yura shouted in frustration.
Being ignored just like that by her daughter made Yura completely break up there. He was crouching while covering his face with his hands. Scared, of course. Yura is afraid that her daughter will be caught and thrown in jail, but she is much more afraid that Bryan and her father-in-law will find out if she ever conspired with Patricia to harm Eleanor.
Pukkkk
"Yura, what's wrong with you?."
Karim and his assistant who had just returned from the hospital garden were shocked to see Yura who was sitting crouching in front of the door of her son's nursery. Worried that something might happen, Karim rushed up to him and asked what was going on.
"A,Dad.. Is dad back?" sahut Yura.
It was already beyond saying how much Yura was in a panic right now. Her heart was pounding strongly, guessing whether her father-in-law heard her talk with Patricia or not. If yes, then finish the story.
"Yes, just now. What are you doing here, Yura? Bryan kicked you out?."
"Oh, no Dad. Patricia came here earlier, and she sulked a little after talking to Bryan. I then came out to chase after him, but he didn't want to hear anything more. Cia misunderstood Bryan's words, Father" Yura replied lyingly.
Karim. He sighed, understanding what his son-in-law meant. "Yes, let it go first. Maybe Patricia needs time to accept Eleanor's presence. All this time, he was the only one who was the darling of us all. It is natural that now he is disappointed and feels neglected. We better let him win himself first. Eleanor has not yet been found. Who knows as time goes by Cia can accept her sister's presence!."
Yura could only nod in resignation. He could only pray inwardly that his daughter would truly be at peace with this matter. Yura then followed her father-in-law into Bryan's room. Slightly ignoring the uneasiness of her heart as Bryan asked her to sit next to him.
'Let me for a moment be selfish in my own happiness. I'm sorry Bryan, I did this all because I didn't want to lose you. I'm sorry I ever planned to take the life of your son and Sandara. I'm sorry!.'
