My Family's Secret

Seeking perpetrators

The grandmother of the child was very grateful to me. "Thank you, sir, he's finally going to see another doctor."

"No need to thank me" I replied.

Dion was very curious about the illness and decided to ask, "Sorry Grandma if you can know what kind of pain her grandson is? Looks like I saw him 6 months ago here. Did he go out and go to the hospital again?"

"Ah my granddaughter has indeed been treated here for a long time. She had terminal lung cancer" replied the grandmother.

Dion and I were shocked to hear Grandma's reply.

"Final stage lung cancer?! Why not just go to a foreign hospital? There the equipment is more sophisticated than here" Dion said.

"We don't have any fees for going abroad, sir. This treatment is assisted by Alexa. I am very grateful to him, I don't know what would happen to my grandson if he didn't. By the way is doctor Alexa really any business? Because my feeling is not good, I hope doctor Alexa is really fine because no matter how Alexa doctor I have considered as my own grandson."

I'm nodding. "Yes, doctor Alexa's got no business."

He breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God then."

"Jaudah grandma, we say yes first."

"Yes, thank you again."

Dion and I are gone

"So where are we going, sir? Ms. Alexa's phone is in the hospital and Ms. Alexa's assistant cannot be contacted or tracked" Dion said.

My mind is very upset right now. Alexa was missing from last day, even her assistant was lost somewhere.

Suddenly, Dion's phone rang. He checked his phone and saw it. "Unknown number?"

"Thank you!" my orders.

Dion picked up the phone. "Hello."

"Ha-hello."

"Sorry who and what business?"

"I'm Merry, Miss Alexa's assistant."

Hearing that, Dion shouted. "MERRY?! WHY CAN'T YOUR PHONE BE REACHED?!"

I turned to Dion and took his phone. "Where's Alexa now?!"

"Miss is in the pelita hospital."

"Hospital?! What happened to him?"

"No-nona Alexa poisoning, sir."

"Poisoning?! How could?! You as his assistant why not be the one guarding him huh?!"

"Pardon me, sir."

"I'll be there soon."

I also returned Dion's phone.

"How's mister? Where's miss Alexa?" ask Dion.

"Alexa's at the pelita hospital. We're going there now." I'll drive the car there soon. Fortunately the hospital was not far from here, so we were able to get there quickly.

Arriving at the hospital, I immediately ran in as soon as I reached the hospital. I immediately asked Alexa's room at the receptionist. "Excuse me, where's Alexa Olivia Harrison's room?"

"That lady is in the ICU room now, sir," replied the receptionist.

"Thank you." I ran straight to the ICU.

In front of the ICU is Merry, Jessica, and one person I don't know.

"Why is Miss Alexa in the ICU?" ask Dion.

"Miss Alexa drank the poison and fortunately the dose she took was small. According to the doctor's words, Miss Alexa has taken poison more than once" Merry replied.

"Miss Alexa drank poison? How could he do that?!" dion said he couldn't believe it.

"There's probably someone who gave it to her without Miss Alexa knowing. I'm still trying to figure out who it is. If I find the person, they'll be out of my hands for putting Miss Alexa in a coma" Merry said.

"Koma?! What poison has Miss Alexa been drinking?" ask Dion again.

"Unfortunately the doctors are not aware of the type of poison and because Miss Alexa also does not show any symptoms so it is difficult to guess the possibility of the poison taken by her," Merry replied slowly.

"How can Miss Alexa drink it? Didn't Mr Alvaro always forbid him from accepting anything given by unknown people?" ask Dion for the umpteenth time.

"The doctor said the poison was taken along with the tea. Miss Alexa can never refuse someone who gives her tea" she replied.

"It looks like the person who gave him tea is no ordinary person. If he can get the poison that is still unknown type means he got the item on the black market" Dion murmured.

"Yes, but we will have a hard time looking for it, considering that not many people know the whereabouts of Miss Alexa" Merry replied.

Hearing that my mind was suddenly empty. What the hell is going on right now? Alexa is in a coma? Just yesterday he was angry with me and now he's lying weakly on a hospital bed.

"Sir, we need to find the perpetrator immediately. We don't know what he wants to do by making Miss Alexa like this" Dion said.

"Dion, tell me this is just a dream" I said blankly.

"I wish it was like that too, but this is reality, sir. Miss Alexa is inside and lying weak. The doctors couldn't do anything because Miss Alexa didn't show any symptoms" Dion replied.

Suddenly someone pushed and slapped my cheek. "Your satisfaction?!"

Dion restrains Jessica and tries to calm her down. "Silence, miss. This is the hospital, don't make a fuss."

"Have you seen Alexa comma huh?! Don't marry her if you don't love her, sir! Why did you marry Alexa when you know Alexa trauma?!" snapped it.

Dion who heard that was confused. "Trauma?"

"Yes. Alexa is traumatized by the dirty things you do every day. The dirty thing snatched both his parents and left bad memories in his heart. You know that but still marry Alexa?! What do you want from my friend, sir?A fortune? A beautiful wife? Or connections?" said Jessica.

"Sorry miss, you know it now" said Dion.

"Your selfishness makes Alexa what it is today. I'm sure Alexa doesn't know your identity" he said.

Suddenly my phone rang. It was Alvaro who called me.

"Hello Allard's. Sorry to bother you all night, I just wanted to ask, Alexa's fine, right? Grandpa told me he had nightmares about Alexa and somehow I don't feel good either."

I wanted to answer but my tongue felt stiff.

"Allard? You heard me, right?"

"Alexa's in a coma and now we're all in the hospital."

After saying that, I disconnected her phone call.

I hit the wall and ruffled my hair in frustration. "Arghhh why is it always the people I love who get hurt?!"

Dion tried to arrest me. "Silence, sir. Miss Alexa will survive and will soon be conscious."

"Dion, am I being too selfish?"

"No. You do that because you love Miss Alexa. You don't want to lose her, that's why you tied Miss Alexa in the marriage."

"If Alexa hadn't married me she wouldn't have been targeted by my enemies."

"You're wrong, sir. Harrison's family also has enemies so he'll still be targeted by the bad guys. But with you it's very helpful in keeping Miss Alexa."

Not long Alvaro and grandpa came.

"What is this really about?" ask grandpa.

"Allard, what did you mean on the phone? That's a lie, right?!" ask Alvaro angry.

"That's right. Alexa's in there and she's in a coma" I replied.

"What's going on? Why is Alexa comatose?" asked Alvaro who was still confused by this all.

"Merry, explain what happened!" snapped grandpa.

"Miss Alexa drank poison. Although the dose is small but according to the words of the doctor, Miss Alexa has taken it more than once. Doctors still do not know what type of poison to drink and can not guess it because Miss Alexa has not shown any symptoms to date. He was just like a sleeping person" he explained.

Grandpa almost fell down and Merry managed to hold it but unexpectedly Grandpa pushed Merry to fall. "What are you doing?! Why are you always not so good at taking care of my granddaughter?!"

The girl I didn't know who it was went straight to Merry and helped him get up but Merry refused his help and knelt down in front of grandfather. "I'm sorry, sir. I was careless in looking after Miss Alexa. I'm ready to take punishment from you."

Grandpa kicked Merry. Alvaro quickly held back grandfather. He did not expect that his grandfather would dare to kick a woman. Because he knew his grandfather was a gentle person even though he was firm. "Grandfather?! What is grandpa doing?! Merry's a woman."

"I don't care! He's been neglecting to look after my granddaughter!" Grandpa kept kicking Merry.

"Merry could die, grandpa." Alvaro keeps trying to hold Grandpa.

"Let him die, life is useless, too" replied Grandfather.

"Alexa would be angry if she knew that she was treating her beloved assistant like this" Alvaro said.

"It's better that way, but you see, right? Your sister's not even conscious now! He's in a coma, Alvaro!" snapped grandpa.

The girl knelt before Grandpa. "Sir, this is not Merry's fault but mine. I carelessly gave tea that I did not know to Miss Alexa."

Grandpa was confused to see someone he didn't know. "Who are you? What does it mean to give Alexa tea that you don't know about?"

"I'm Risa. The child was endowed with knowledge of tea leaves by God but I carelessly gave the tea I bought to Miss Alexa. I'm guilty of giving it away without researching the tea first."

"After this incident you knew what kind of tea it was?" ask Alvaro.

"I don't know, sir. Because the tea is very fit for one brew so I do not have the rest of the tea leaves," he replied.

"Wait, you said you were a child who had knowledge of tea leaves? So you're the one who's invested in Alexa?" my many.

He's nodding. "Yes, sir."

"Why can you be careless to someone who will help you?!" my snapping.

"I'm sorry, sir. Miss Alexa looked enthusiastic when she saw the tea leaves I bought and asked me to make the tea. Because it was too happy so I immediately obeyed him," he said.

"Damn," my curse.

Why aren't the people around Alexa right? All are just fools. My inner.

"Something seems to be deliberately targeting Alexa. Tea this time must also have been planned," said Jessica.

"I swear miss that I didn't plan on it" Risa said.

"I know. What I mean is someone else, though, there must be someone who deliberately sold you tea leaves because he knew that you were going to meet Alexa and that person would know that Alexa really likes tea so he put the poison through tea," inexplicably.

"As I said, it will be difficult to find the culprit because not many know Miss Alexa and the data about Miss Alexa has been locked so not just anyone can open it" said Merry.

"Now that Alexa really likes tea is only my grandfather, me, Allard, Jessica, Merry, and Risa" Alvaro said.

"We're all obviously not the culprit. There are outsiders who have definitely been in contact with Alexa recently. Merry, who's Alexa been seeing lately?" ask Jessica.

"none. Miss Alexa is just busy taking care of her patients in the hospital" Merry replied.

I remembered something. "Since Alexa disappeared back then, sometimes she likes to go and just permission through paper. He never authorized me directly."

"Hint! The guy Alexa met must be the culprit!" said Jessica.

"Don't be in a hurry to conclude something, Jessica," Alvaro said.

"No brother, I'm sure," he said.

"Why can you be sure? If that person really intends to kill Alexa why not from the beginning met immediately killed?" ask Alvaro.

"Alvaro! Keep talking!" my perspiration.

Jessica breathed. "Big brother is the brain of the company but that's not what I understand. Of course he deliberately hurt Alexa slowly like now. Because it will make his enemy slumped in a long time and certainly very torturous for the enemy. When the enemy is caught off guard, he will attack. That's more efficient than having to fight it out, right?"

I pulled my words earlier. Not everyone around Alexa is stupid. In the midst of this kind of panic he could still think clearly.
