FLAVORFUL
Chapter 71
Stella is still confused about how to get money, because it is impossible for her to work a day directly to get money. He does not currently know that Rico has paid, he plans that Rico will come to the restaurant where he works.
Shortly after Rico arrives, he sits next to Stella and asks Angelica. Rico is very attentive with Angelica, even he is willing to pay for Angelica's medical expenses.
"Rico, I'll take Angelica for a second! there's something I need to finish" Stella said, then picked up her bag.
"Where are you going? no pity on Angelica," said Rico who actually didn't let Stella go.
"Later after I return I explain," he said then left Rico in a hurry.
"Stella!" shouted Rico.
Stella ignored Rico's words, she rushed out of the hospital. He waited for an angkot to pass in front of the hospital, but never came. Then Stella ordered an ojek online, to get to the destination quickly.
"Bas stubborn!" grumbled Rico while looking at Angelica's state of glass.
"Master, let's just come in! your son is welcome" said a nurse caring for Angelica.
"Thank you, miss," said Rico, then followed the nurse into the room where Angelica was being treated.
Rico seemed very happy to see the little baby, he wanted to hold her immediately but could not. During this time Rico had never touched a baby, the nurse helped Rico to hold Angelica.
Angelica who was in the sling Rico looked smiling, her face was so beautiful and very similar to William. It is undeniable that Angelica is the son of William, which might look like Rico.
When Angelica was laid she cried, so Rico carried her again. It just so happened that the infusion was off, so it made it easier for Rico to take him for a walk in the room.
"It looks like this baby is comfortable with, sir, he doesn't want to be put" the nurse said with a smile.
Rico smiled at the nurse's words, he was so happy that this time he could touch the baby.

Stella arrived at her workplace, she went inside and met the restaurant owner. He planned to ask for a salary at the beginning, because it was in dire need. Actually he was very embarrassed and afraid to say, for the sake of the baby he threw away the shame.
The owner of the restaurant did not want to give money first, he was worried that Stella would not go to work again. Stella is currently precisely diomelin by restaurant owners, because it is considered detrimental.
"You have no shame? just a day's work has asked for a salary! use the excuse of the sick child again," said the restaurant owner rudely.
"But I'm not lying, Mom! my son is in care at the moment" Stella said, bowing her head.
The owner of the restaurant immediately fired Stella just like that, she did not want to accept any reason. Stella was also kicked out of the restaurant, then she returned to the hospital with a sad face.
He has lost his job so many times, even to the point of being fired. The only hope is to accept Martin's offer, maybe he can help even if he is used to take revenge on Helena.
"Why are you, Stella? came crying" Rico said after arriving at the hospital.
"I was fired"." he said.
"You don't need to work anymore! take care of Angelica properly, let me do the job," Rico said.
"No! it's not your responsibility, Rico," Stella refused.
"Stella, think back! I don't want to see Angelica suffer" Rico told Stella.
"I'll try to make her happy, Rico. Angelica's my son, where I might make him suffer," Stella said, not accepting Rico's words.
"What's the evidence now? Angelica's sick, because you're raining! if you think it will take shelter first when it rains," Rico said with annoyance.
"I was kicked out by the owner of the house at that time, I had to walk again" said Stella.
"Sorry sir, miss, don't make a fuss in the hospital! bothering the patient, let alone this space for children," said a nurse.
Rico was so embarrassed by the nurse, he couldn't control his frustration with Stella. He should not have spoken like this, for it was already his will Angelica was sick.
Stella then leaves Rico, she comes to the hospital administration officer. He said he could not afford Angelica's medical expenses, but he was surprised that someone had already paid.
"Who's the one who paid him, Ma'am?" ask Stella.
"Sorry, Miss. The man forbade us to say his identity" the officer said.
"Please say! I have to thank that person, who helped me" Stella said.
Officers insisted they would not tell anyone, as the hospital had already undergone the procedure. Stella unsuccessfully tries to persuade the officer, then returns to where Rico is.
Rico was busy changing Angelica's dirty and wet diaper, he did not look at Stella at all.
"Rico, have you paid for Angelica's administration?" stella is suspicious of Rico.
"Just ask this hospital attendant, Stella," Rico replied casually, he was not at all nervous about answering Stella's question.
"They don't want to say, Rico! I just wanted to say thank you" Stella said.
Angelica cries so that Stella does not discuss the cost of the hospital again, Stella wants to carry it but is not allowed by Rico.
"Angelica my son, Rico! why don't you let me carry her?" ask Stella.
"Because you made Angelica sick" Rico said as he held Angelica slightly in a swing.
Stella was amazed to see Rico carrying Angelica full of affection, she just knew Rico could hold Angelica.
"If only carrying Angelica was William, I would be so happy" he said in his heart.
"No!" stella shouted as she closed her eyes and covered both ears with her palms.
Rico is shocked and then approached Stella with Angelica who is still he carrying, he also worried about Stella.
"Stella, why are you yelling?" ask Rico slowly.
"I'm just scared! yes I am afraid" replied Stella.
Rico asks Stella to tell him what she's really afraid of, she doesn't want anything to happen with Stella. But Stella did not want to tell Rico, she did not want to make Rico a lot of burden because of him.
After the nurse arrives, Rico leaves Angelica and invites Stella to eat. At first Stella refuses but Rico continues to force, because already from yesterday Stella has not eaten she just thinks of Angelica continues.
