"Arena!" Syene immediately approached Arina who was sitting daydreaming on Brennan's bed.
"You came at last. I'm sorry to bother you, but this is so..."
"What are you doing, my sister?" Syene cut off Brennan's words and directly beat the man with her bag.
"STOP HITTING ME!" Brennan's snap immediately made Syene stop.
"I just brought your sister back here because she was almost raped. And that lecherous man accidentally slipped into the abyss while trying to attack your sister." Brennan stared hard at Syene who was bored after beating her.
Without responding to the man again, Syene approached her sister who did not express any expression. He got on the bed and sat down next to Arina and hugged the poor girl. Brennan stepped into the bathroom.
"You'll be fine now." Syene tried to calm Arina down.
"I killed, Syene. I killed Xander. I should how?" Arina finally made a sound.
"W-what? So Xander's been trying to hurt you?" Syene asked so surprised at what she heard.
"I'm scared. I have no intention of killing him. He's the.he's the..." Arina could not continue her words and cried bitterly hugging Syene tightly.
"Already, don't think the no-no. Let the police uncover the truth." Syene also hugged her sister.
"Xander, if you want to die, you better die! Don't live to hurt my sister!" Inner Syene with eyes full of anger.
STUNTMAN
Suddenly there was a sound like something falling from the bathroom. Arina was shocked and reflexively broke away from Syene then immediately ran to the bathroom.
"Brenn?" Arina was so shocked to see Brennan sitting next to the bathup with some parts of his face and hands looking like blisters. The man also seemed to have difficulty breathing.
"You why?" Tanya Arina was worried.
"Jim, call Jim." Pinta Brennan is like enduring a terrible pain.
"SYENE, PLEASE CALL JIM!" Arina screams from the bathroom and she believes Syene must have heard it.
"Why is it suddenly like this?" Arina tried to check on Brennan. For a moment he forgot his sadness and fear, becoming considerate and caring for Brennan. Either because the man had helped her a little earlier, or there was another cause.
"Under there is no such thing as Jim. The waiter called him but the waiter said he was at the scene to testify to the police." Syene also looks no less panicked.
"How is this?" Arina muttered while her tiny body was already tightly hugged by Brennan.
"We'd better get him out first." Syene was about to approach the two people in front of her but Brennan immediately prevented her.
"Please don't come near me! Let Arina be with me here." Pinta Brennan is weak.
Syene looks upset and anxious. Wanted to be angry but it seemed like Brennan's situation was indeed very severe. Finally the girl kept quiet and obeyed what Brennan wanted after getting a nod from Arina.
"Airina's situation should calm her down. Really troublesome." Inner Syene was upset. What he was worried about was Arina's current psychic condition.
After a while, Brennan was calmer. Some parts of his skin that looked blistered earlier also slowly faded but had not disappeared completely.
"You've been able to get out?" Tanya Arina became softer. Brennan just nodded. Slowly Arina decides to wipe him out of the bathroom. Syene chose to stay away from Brennan, not out of disgust but out of fear that the man would fall out again.
"You rest first. I'll make you something." Arina helps Brennan sit on her bed.
"Arina, I don't need food for now. Please accompany me." Brennan gently blocked Arina's wrist.
"I'd better get out." Syene took her bag and walked out of the room.
"Is it really that sick?" Arina asked who was now sitting next to Brennan and let the man hold her tightly.
"Very sick. Please help me! I just want to heal and live a normal life like the people out there." Pinta Brennan sounds pathetic.
"alright. I'll help you until you're healed." Arina stroked Brennan's hair hoping to give her a little peace of mind.
"no need. I'm not helping anything, just taking you away from that place." Brennan still faithfully hugged Arina and closed her eyes.
"You don't think too much! Jim will solve everything for you." Brennan's word is soft.
"I don't care if I have to go to jail for this." Arina's voice sounded trembling.
"You're not going anywhere but to stay by my side. Don't be afraid." Brennan's voice sounded even more resolute than before.
"My phone reads, please answer for me." Brennan gives Arina his phone. Arina immediately shifted the green icon on the Brennan phone screen.
"Ha-hallo?" Arina was a little scared.
" ... "
"Here, Jim wants to talk to you." Arina handed the phone to the owner.
"What's wrong?" Brennan's question sounded annoyed.
" ... "
"Ck...why not just die?" Brennan muttered after the call ended.
"What's wrong?" Arina looks worried.
"The bastard has been found. He's been rushed to the hospital, I'll be there now." Brennan did not like it.
"I-I'll come along." Arina restrains Brennan who is about to leave.
"Don't push yourself if you can't." Brennan's hand stretched out stroking Arina's long hair.
"I can." Arina nodded confidently.
"All right." Brennan clasped Arina's hand and led her out of the room.
"Where's your brother?" Brennan dyed looking for Syene.
"Maybe he's also been to the hospital because he's been told by Griffith." Arina looked down sad.
"So that son of a bitch still has something to do with Griff?" Brennan looks inadmissive. He then led Arina back to his car.
"He's Griffith's nephew." Reply Arina looked down.
"That's great. Once a bastard will still be a bastard. He tried to hurt you and your brother was his uncle's lover. Is he deliberately trying to ruin your good relationship?" Brennan chatted at length in annoyance.
"I don't know. But I'm ready to accept whatever punishment I'm going to accept." Arina turned her face to look out the window.
"You will not be punished. No one's gonna punish you for a mistake that didn't come from you." Brennan grabbed Arina's one hand and held her tightly.
"I'm sorry Syene. I've ruined your happiness." The inner Arina shed tears.
After an hour, Arina and Brennan finally arrived at the hospital. The two got out of the car and went into the hospital. Jim was waiting for both of them. Brennan clasped Arina's hand tightly to convince the girl that everything would be fine.
From a distance Arina could already see the whereabouts of Griffith and Syene who were sitting far away. Griffith's gaze was extremely unfriendly, not as usual friendly and warm. Now there is only anger. Syene who saw the arrival of Arina was immediately approaching her sister.
"Don't be afraid, everything's gonna be okay." Syene embraces her sister while Brennan slightly moves away from the two.
"Is he angry?" Tanya Arina whispered.
"He's angry, but it's not your fault!" Syene calmed her sister without caring Griffith stared dislikefully at them.
"Family patient?"
