THE PROMISE
CHAPTER 82. LET HIM TRY

This is not a good time to think about such things. Slowly he tiptoed near the door and listened to the voices outside the door. Anastasya could hear Kenneth's voice opening the door and asked in a cold voice, “At this late, what's the problem?”

Anastasya immediately stiffened, they were really not Kenneth's men. He couldn't imagine what would happen if he opened the door. Fortunately Kenneth was experienced if not then their problems alone in the hotel room must have been discovered.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Anastasya heard the voice of the middle-aged man speaking in a low tone. “I just want to check if you're okay after drinking so much. I brought the antidote for you.”

“I don't drink too much. It's late at night, don't bother me anymore, I still have something very important to do.” Kenneth said in a cold and flat voice.

“Good. Alright I will not interfere with your rest time, I will also go to sleep.” said the man with a meaningful smile.

After that Anastasya heard the sound of the door closing. After waiting for about three minutes, Anastasya came out and asked with a whisper, “That was who?”

“The man who does the design process and he also often works with your family company. This man should be with your father planning your arrival here tonight. “Are you okay?” ask Kenneth

“What?” Anastasya was confused and did not understand Kenneth's intentions. Kenneth's thin lips opened and closed after repeating them twice then he coughed a little and said, “After your father planned this and set everything up himself and you entered into this kind of situation, , I asked if you didn't feel sad?” You stupid girl, should I say it so clearly?

“No. I'm not sad because he's like that. I have also known since the beginning.” Anastasya replied shaking her head with a cold expression.

Kenneth Mendnegus, he did not believe the girl's words. Swinging a paper ball in his hand Kenneth said, “Not sad? But why do you still want to do this test?”

“I...”.

“Anastasya, you don't have to show how strong you are in front of me. No need to pretend like that.” said Kenneth but for a moment he realized his words just now were a bit excessive and unlike his usual self, then he quickly added, adding, “There is no point in you pretending in front of me, not a single disguise escaped my eyes. So you better save your energy.”

Anastasya had been touched by Kenneth's words but now she showed a cold expression and said, “Thank you for helping me but I don't feel sad at all.” He never showed others his sadness. Kenneth looked at him fixedly, he felt a sense of annoyance in his heart. Just now he was about to speak again suddenly the room door was knocked back.

“Sssstttt Kenneth signals Anastasya to shut up.

Anastasya immediately understood and went back to hiding in the room. But just as he came in, suddenly Kenneth said, “Come out this my man.”

Anastasya immediately pushed open the room door and returned to the guest room. He saw the bespectacled man he had seen at Brandon's house standing in the living room holding a tissue wrapped around Danendra's hair.

The man picked it up and kissed the tissue, he scrunched his nose, “Why is there a smell?”

Anastasya's face heated up, he put the tissue containing the hair on the sole of his shoes of course a bit of a smell….Just when he felt awkward and did not know how to explain it, suddenly calmly Kenneth said, “Your OCD symptoms are really severe. I only held a few minutes in my hand. If there's a smell, maybe it's my scented body odor.”

Anastasya's expression instantly froze at Kenneth's words. Hearing that, the man named Diego did not think much more, he immediately put the paper ball into his pocket and his eyes looked at Anastasya.

After a few seconds, he looked at Kenneth who was wrapped in a towel with a surprised look. “This time....”.

“There's a little personal problem. You have to keep this a secret from others.”

Then Anastasya pulled out a strand of her hair and gave it to Bagas.

Diego took out a piece of paper and wrapped the hair. He looked at Kenneth and said, “Those who are in that hospital.I have tried all kinds of treatments and therapies but still haven't worked as well. The doctor said he was suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder.  Very difficult to cure and will take about a year.”

“What? A year? That's too long, we can't wait that long.” Kenneth frowned.

And just then Anastasya stepped up to him and asked, “Post-traumatic stress disorder?”

Anastasya's apology made Diego unhappy and then lowered his glasses slightly and looked at him. She thinks this woman is the source of the problem and she doesn't like it. It's just that because Anastaya is Kenneth's friend so he's more patient with her than with any other woman.

But because of the two others who fought several times in the hospital because of Anastasya's problems today and made his head hurt so he was a little impatient with Anastasya. “This is our personal affair, it is better Miss Anastasya do not...” Diego had not had time to finish his words immediately stopped by Kenneth by raising his hand. Bagas was astonished, then he saw Kenneth staring at Anastasya and asked.

“Do you know about post-traumatic stress disorder?”

Anastasya nodded, “Post-traumatic stress disorder is also called PTSD. One of my friends who was abroad, exactly a couple. They are doing research on this disease and they want to use traditional methods of treatment to treat this disease. Usually if I have free time, I also study with them. So more or less I know about this disease.”

Diego asked in surprise, “This is a mental illness. Using traditional medicine? Are you kidding me?”

Anastasya's expression turned serious. “Traditional medicine has a long and deep history. People abroad are trying to learn traditional medicine. Why do you people in this country even underestimate traditional medicine?”

Diego's family background began with setting up a hospital oriented to the modern medical treatment system. Of course he underestimated traditional medicine. Then with a smile and feeling silly he said, “I'm not saying that traditional methods of treatment are not useful at all. It is true that traditional methods of treatment can cure colds, fever, cough but for mental illness if you say it can be cured with traditional medicine is it not too excessive?”

Anastasya scrunched his forehead, his two adoptive parents were doing research for this healing method. And after several experiments they found that this method is quite effective.  But that method was completely rejected by Diego. Anastasya disagreed and said, “I don't feel this is excessive. But if you want, I can help you to try it.”

Without a second thought Diego immediately rejected his proposal.

“No need! If you feel traditional medicine is so great, you can use that treatment method to do her DNA test.”

“You----” furious Anastasya.

“Let him try it.” Kenneth said.

Diego and Anastasya stared at Kenneth at the same time.

“Kenneth, you don't know that that person is so important to us.”

“Because he is important so I let him try it, if this modern medical treatment method of yours we have to wait a year, while our problems are getting longer and more. Brandon and I even got threats from them. But we still don't know who the mastermind is. Do you think we can wait up to a year?”
