The Chapter 35 Steyfano Marcues

We arrived in Holland. At 4:15 we got home. We plan to see a thoracoplastic doctor tomorrow morning. We made an appointment before. Then there will be time for Eliza to rest for a while. I went into that house. Eliza was silent from earlier. He didn't even say a single word. When I asked, the answer was just a nod or a shake. The house is deserted. There's just the two of us. I looked at Eliza who was looking down deeply.

" Where's Marcues' grandmother? Looks like they're out. It's so quiet here."

I went in there. Putting Eliza's suitcase. I just brought some clothes in my backpack. I don't bring excessive. I'm just for a second. I looked at Eliza who was just silent looking down deeply in the doorway.

" What's up? You're not in?" I was confused by what he did.

Fractured he walked into the room. I immediately tidied Eliza's various clothes into her room. By the time I was about to return to the front room, I had already seen him standing in front of the door. He kept his head down. The difference is with an axe. Where'd he get that thing?

" What are you doing there?"

I am still trapped by confusion. What does he want? That's what I was thinking for a few seconds. He raised his head to look at me. Lips pale. Eyes sunken. He lifted the axe up high. So lift it. It stuck in my waist. He also froze. I also died said.

" Tell me Eliza. "

I looked towards the kitchen. I've seen it before. The bodies are piled up there.

" You're a girl who's always changing. You're not clear. You told me a lot of bullshit. And lied to me a lot of things. "

He stared at the blood flowing from my waist with a look of confusion. How am I not dead? Maybe that's what he thinks. Because I am too.

" I knew before. The meaning of your coming to my house. You don't have to change your story. From you who originally wanted to meet Marcues and become a great scientist like him. Then turn him again into wanting to see Marcues because he's the only person with an artificial heart that can last longer.

"I know Eliza. You're just lonely. You're upset because you're weak. You were ostracized in this family. I-i know. More than know. It all has to do with your mental state. You're afraid I'll find out about your secret, aren't you? We both have that. "

He's staring at me. He's back down. Then weep bitterly.

" You just rest inside. I'll take care of that."

I walked into the kitchen with an axe still stuck to my waist.

Mary. Justine's. Grandma Marcues. And a Spanish man. He took everything. He has found a way to defend himself.

I burned all the bodies. Then go back inside. I saw Eliza sleeping in her bed. I sat staring on the sofa. Leo just cheated. The artificial heart is not his own work. He's cheating. With the way he killed Zorzetto, he figured out how to keep him praised. Artificial heart. It's not Leo's work. It was Zorzetto's. At least that's what I knew from the Marcues journal book I was holding back then.

" Miss Eliz's artificial heart was used as a 'bridge to transplant', which kept her alive, gave her time, until she received a human heart transplant. " That's what a doctor next to me said in his Dutch.

I looked at Eliza on the hospital bed. Sleeping with an infusion hose on hand is very uncomfortable. I'm not lying.

" we will carry out the examination for several days. Do you want to replace the artificial heart with a human heart? Have you found a donor?"

I'm speechless. Complicated question. I don't know. All I did was accompany Eliza here.

" I didn't find a donor. " I said in a deep bow.

" But I just want you to check it out. If it looks okay, I'll take care of it as much as I can. If that doesn't look good I'll find a donor. Strike if you have to." Say to him.

He grins.

I looked at Eliza with a sad look.

" Excuse me." He walked out of the room.

Now it's just me and Eliza who are lying weak. There's only one I'm thinking about. Do I have to find donors and force them to bribe as I told the doctor?

The day changes to tomorrow. I'm still busy flipping through the pages of Marcues' journal. But I found nothing about the artificial heart but Leo cheating Zorzetto's artificial heart and useless writings. If only. If only there were someone I should make an enemy of. Then I'll hurt him. And took his heart out for Eliza.

Yep. I walked through a lonely road. It's like a forest. But it's so beautiful. Unlike the forests in Indonesia that look very bleak. I walked while listening to a piece of music coming out on the headset I was wearing. I walk like everyone else in general. Not like a psychopath like in the movies that will cover his head and face with a black jacket. I still have to act normal.

" Mister, your things fell. "

A lady. It looks like he is 20 years old. He's still young. Stand in front of me with... Yep. That's my stuff that I accidentally fell on. I silenced her with a cloth. Heh. Gosh darn. I kidnapped a woman on a deserted street. I carried him home. Passing through the crowded streets. But no one knows my intentions. Everyone just thinks it's just the beautiful life of youth. Yep. A man holds his sleeping girlfriend. Probably because of fatigue. Everyone looked at me while silencing his mouth and smiling. They think it's romantic.

Uh. Sure didn't. I went inside the house. Tied the woman up in a chair. And waiting for him to wake up. Suddenly my phone rings. I put it to my ear.

" Sir, there's something I want to tell you. "

Then I'll be heading to the hospital. By walking half-running I was like chasing my time.

" Bad news, sir. We've examined Ms. Eliz's artificial heart and it's not working stably. This model A artificial heart is an artificial heart that has not been tested. We had to get the artificial heart out too, lift the controller and this is not a simple operation. "

" Then do it quickly. "

" But sir. It's not that easy. Especially with young patients. For its success it is minimal. Then we just did a CT scan. She also has upper-stage lung cancer. "

" Huh. That's not possible. He didn't even notice any symptoms. "

" It may have happened outside your knowledge, sir. "

" What will happen then?"

" To perform the operation to replace the artificial heart, it takes between 8-9 hours. But because Miss Eliz has lung cancer, we can't sedate her for 8-9 hours. We have to hurry. While replacing the artificial heart is not a very simple operation. "

I was silent for a moment.

" Rather, how much longer will he be able to survive?"

The doctor looked at me.

" 3 months."

I went back to silence.

'' artificial heart recipients must be strong enough to survive surgery, and recovery that requires physical and emotional strength. "

I stood up without saying anything and walked out of the room without saying goodbye.
