The Seed of the Heir
Chapter 12

That night Dea couldn't sleep because she thought about what her sister-in-law said last afternoon. He was really scared. Afraid that what the woman said would actually come true.

"Yes, God! The temptation You have given me has been very, very heavy and do not give me a greater ordeal than this" Dea said with tears in his eyes.

Dea glanced towards her stomach then touched that part slowly. Suddenly there was a vibration that he felt even the vibration was felt all the way to his heart. The vibration was so strong, that it made Dea gasp in shock.

Dea reflexively moved her hand from the abdomen and now the girl's face looked paled. "No! That can't happen! No way," Dea muttered as she shook her head quickly.

If Dea is worried about his future getting grim, Julian is happy because his marriage with Dea is in sight.

"Same Dea, after marriage there is no need to delay pregnancy. Faster, better. Mom and Dad are old, Julian. We can't wait to have our first grandchild. Right, Dad?" said Julian's mother.

Julian's father smiled. Just as his wife had said, that was how he felt today. He could not wait to hold on to his first grandchild.

"Yes, what your mother said was right, Julian. I can't wait to see how handsome your grandson's son will be" Julian's father said.

"Well, what if the baby girl is born?" julian asked the Father who was so sure that his first grandson would be a baby boy.

"Yes, no problem. Although the first born is a granddaughter, for Dad the same," replied the Father steady.

Julian breathed a sigh of relief. He was happy because it turned out that His Father did not mind whether it was a granddaughter or a grandson. He smiled and approached his parents.

"Thank you, Dad, Mom. I promise you that I will remain a dutiful child even if Dea and I are married" said Julian, who is now crouching in front of his parents.

"Aminn, always remember these words yes, Julian." The middle-aged man gently stroked the top of Julian's head with teary eyes.

"Yes, Dad," said Julian steadily.

A few days later.

The Hospital.

"How's my son doing, Doc? Has there been any progress?" ask Mr. Harry to one of the Doctors in charge of dealing with the Alpha.

The doctor shook his head slowly and his face looked lethargic. "There is still no meaningful progress, Mr. Harry. The condition of Young Master Alfa is still the same as before."

Mr. Harry breathed heavily. The doctor's answer made his heart even sadder. What else is the condition of the Wife who is now also downhill after knowing the condition of the child alone puppet.

"Yes, God! Give one more chance to my son. Hopefully after this his life can change for the better" murmured Mr. Harry as he continued to watch Alfa's weak, helpless body.

The doctor's words spread the daydream of Mr. Harry. Mr. Harry immediately returned a warm smile the Doctor then denied it. "good. Thank you very much, Doctor."

After the doctor left, David immediately approached his employer. "Mr Harry, would you like to visit Ervan Hardy Kusuma? He said the young man was conscious" David told Mr Harry, who was still glued to his son's condition.

Mr. Harry was silent while thinking. After a while, he nodded his head. "alright. Take me to the young man's room. There are some questions I want to ask him" said Mr. Harry.

"Good, Sir." David immediately led the middle-aged man to the room where Ervan was being treated.

A few meters before they arrived at the young man's room, there was the sound of such a heartbreaking scream from the room. The screams that came out of Ervan's lips. The man screamed hysterically after learning that his leg had been amputated by the Doctor.

Ervan could not accept the harsh reality and he continued to berate the medical team as well as his parents who were in the room.

"Why did you make this decision before asking me for permission, huh!" he screamed with a red face. He looked one by one at the faces of everyone in the room, including his father and mother.

"We are compelled to take this decision, Mr. Ervan. Because the condition of your feet can not be maintained anymore," explained the Doctor who handles Ervan.

"What the Doctor said is true, son. Your legs are no longer preserved. We've seen with our own eyes how your feet were. And for your own good, we were forced to allow the doctor to perform the surgery" Ervan's mother said.

Yes, at the time of the accident, Ervan's legs were pinned to the body of the car. Even the rescue team had difficulty when trying to remove Ervan's body from the car belonging to Alfa which was not shaped.

"You should be grateful, son. God still loves you. You are still given safety. You can still catch your breath until now. Take a look at your other two best friends, Alfa and Arman," the father softly looked at his son, Ervan.

Ervan stopped screaming. He looked closely at the Father and then asked. "What happened to them?"

The father breathed heavily. "Arman died on the spot, Van, and he was already buried next to his father's grave. While Alpha, Alpha is still ...." His father had not finished his words, Sir Harry and David arrived in the room.

"Alfa's condition is still critical and until now he has not been conscious" said Harry as he approached Ervan's bed.

Ervan was silent with a tangled look on her face. He really did not think that the tragedy of the night had made one of his friends have to lose their lives. And not only Arman, he and Alfa also received a very severe punishment.

"Thank you for visiting us, Mr. Harry. Come, please sit down" said Ervan's father who was so enthusiastic to welcome Mr. Harry.

"No problem, Mr. Kusuma. On the contrary, my purpose here is to apologize for my son's negligence, your son must also feel the consequences" said Mr. Harry with a regretful look at the man of his age.

Mr. Kusuma took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. He grabbed Mr. Harry's body and hugged him tightly.

"No, Mr. Harry. What is wrong here is not only Alfa, but also my son" he replied.
