Marriage to the Destroyer of my Dreams

Episode 6 Strange Feelings

The night crept late, Jeffran who had arrived at the apartment a few dozen minutes ago, was annoyed at not finding Jillian in his apartment.

'Where's that woman? How dare he come home this late. Though I know that his college schedule is only until the afternoon.' Jeffran continued to grumble in his heart by walking back and forth in his living room. Until the door of the apartment opened and showed Jillian's face that looked pale and tired.

Jeffran was quite worried when he saw Jillian's face, but what came out of his mouth was a scolding and a pretty spicy word.

"Where have you finished? Wandering doesn't know the time. Remember, people out there know that you're my wife, so don't ever embarrass me by doing anything." Hearing Jeffran's words that cornered her, Jillian only let out a long sigh.

At first Jillian was about to explain her reason for being late to the apartment, but seeing Jeffran's attitude that immediately gave her a scolding, Jillian immediately changed her mind.

"I'm tired.. I want to rest." Jillian walked to her room, but Jeffran blocked Jillian's arm until she grimaced in pain.

"I'm not done talking to Jillian. Don't do anything, 'cause I have rules you have to follow as a wife." Jillian carved a cynical smile as soon as Jeffran finished his sentence.

"Wife? Have you considered me a wife? No. kan.. We're just two strangers who happen to live under the same roof. Don't act like you're guiding a wife." Jeffran certainly understood what Jillian said, but he still did not want to accept the protest of his wife.

"In reality you are still my wife, even though I hate that fact so much."

Degs..

Jillian's heart was like being hit by a big rock, hearing Jeffran's cruel words. All this time Jillian clearly knew that Jeffran really hated his marriage with Jillian, but hearing it directly from Jeffran's mouth was still painful and sore.

"Please let go of your hand, my arm hurts a lot." Jeffran looked at Jillian's arm which he had blocked hard. The arm was reddened, until Jeffran finally took it off.

There was a look of regret for unknowingly hurting Jillian like that, but of course the sense of prestige was greater, so Jeffran chose to be silent rather than apologize.

Jillian stepped towards her room, her steps looking slow and careful, making Jeffran wonder.

'What's with that woman? Why does he look weak? His face was pale.. Oh, for what I care.' Jeffran tried to ignore his feelings, and chose to head towards the pantry to make a cup of black tea.

The next morning, Jeffran, who had just finished making americano and a chocolate jam bun for his breakfast, was surprised that Jillian had not yet left his room.

'Why hasn't the woman come out of her room yet? I know he had a class schedule this morning. Is he bad at waking up? Oh, never mind, let it go. You lazy woman..' Jeffran in the Heart.

But after a few dozen minutes, the curiosity really could not be held Jeffran. Banging on Jillian's bedroom door, Jeffran tries to wake Jillian up.

"Jillian's awake.. You lazy.."

Time and again Jeffran banged on the door and called out Jillian's name, but there was no reply from inside Jillian's room. Until finally Jeffran decided to open the door of the room that turned out to be unlocked.

"Jillian's awake.. Jillian's up.." There was no response or movement from Jillian.

Jeffran held onto Jillian's forehead, which turned out to be very hot and sweaty. Jeffran immediately panicked. Without much thought, Jeffran immediately took the unconscious Jillian to the nearest Hospital.

*************************

Jeffran felt guilty to see Jillian's state of weakness and unconsciousness on the Hospital bed. Doctors said Jillian had a fever and low blood pressure and was also exhausted. Jeffran also asked the obstetrician to check Jillian's pregnancy, the results were not too good. Because the obstetrician who turned out to be commonly visited by Jillian, explained that Jillian's content is very weak. So that Jillian must rest more and do not do strenuous activities.

There was something different about Jeffran's liver, when Jillian underwent an examination in the obstetrician's room. His heart rippled to see the development of the fetus in Jillian's stomach. Even the net had glazed to see the miracle of God. The little creature that lived in Jillian's stomach seemed to evoke a love in Jeffran's heart.

The sudden feeling made Jeffran not understand, but he seemed to want to protect the fetus in Jillian's womb, even though before he was even very indifferent.

'What's wrong with my heart? Suddenly I felt so in love with the baby in Jillian's womb. Is it because that child is the son of Jordan that I should take good care of? From now on I'll protect the baby, even though I don't like his mother.' Jeffran's determination in heart.

*************************

After being treated for 2 days at the Hospital, the Doctor allowed Jillian to go home. Jeffran looks deftly help Jillian to prepare to go home. Jillian was astonished that Jeffran had treated her well during her treatment. At least Jeffran would help Jillian sit down, bribe her or drive her to the bathroom. Although there was no long conversation between them.

"Because your body is still weak, you should use a wheelchair to get to the parking area." Jeffran said to Jillian's head.

"No, I'm strong enough to walk."

"Don't be stubborn, the doctor says you're weak. Better use a wheelchair."

Finally Jillian chose to obey instead of arguing with Jeffran. It felt like his body was still too weak, even if it was just to argue with Jeffran.

Jeffran pushed Jillian's wheelchair up to the parking area where his sports car was parked. Suddenly a cold sweat drenched Jillian's forehead and neck, as the net looked at Jeffran's black sports car which bore witness to the night of doom that befell Jillian.

Since marrying Jeffran, Jillian has never seen Jeffran use the black sports car. Jeffran often uses a blue metallic sports car. But now when Jeffran suddenly used the sports car again, the trauma re-emerged and gave a huge fear to a Jillian.

"I don't want to get in your car, I'd better take a cab." Jillian said as she stood up from her wheelchair, and limped to the edge of the highway.

Of course Jillian's attitude triggered a big question mark in Jeffran's mind. He really does not understand the reason Jillian does not want to get into his black sports car.
