My Family's Secret

Bella's Desire

***POV ALLARD***

How surprised I was when I saw Alexa's body that was like that. Alexa was terrified just by looking at the news. I can't imagine Alexa directly watching the murder scene.

I had to keep those documents away from Alexa. It's dangerous if he sees it. Thought.

I looked at Alexa's sleeping face. "You are too cute to be with me."

It once crossed my mind to let go of Alexa someday because I was sure I would never love her but it turned out I was wrong. Now I love her so much that I don't feel like letting her go for anyone even though I know I don't deserve her.

I stroked Alexa's head. "Why does it all feel so hard? All I want is to be with you."

I kissed Alexa's old forehead and ended up falling asleep with her.

Bend day.

***POV ALEXA***

When I woke up, I didn't see Allard's whereabouts. "Have he gone back to the office?" I stretched my whole body.

Suddenly Allard entered with a paper bag in his hand. "Dear, are you awake?"

"Udah, just now. Where'd you? I thought you were back at the office" I asked.

"No, I went home for a while to get your clothes." Allard gave the paper bag to me.

I received the paper bag. "Thank you."

"Either. I took a shower, and then we got breakfast" he said.

"Have you taken a shower?" my many.

"When I was home" he answered.

"It's a pity that I just want to take a shower with hehehe" I said.

Allard was surprised to hear my words.

He came closer to me and I reflexively walked backwards. "E-ehhw what are you doing?! Don't go forward with that!"

"So what did you say? Try repeat!" his orders.

"Huh? No, I didn't say anything. You heard wrong" my dear.

"Alexa," she called.

"W-what?" many fear.

"Repeat!" his orders.

"I didn't say anything. I'm gonna take a shower." I rushed to the bathroom but Allard immediately held my arm.

"Allard! Release me!" my yelling.

Allard kissed my lips for a long time. No. This isn't the short kiss we used to do. Oh my gosh I'm starting to get out of breath. I hit the chest of Allard's field but he didn't budge in the least.

Finally Allard let go of his kiss. I immediately inhaled a lot of air.

"Allard!"

"What?"

"Are you crazy?!"

"Yes, because of you. Don't play games with me anymore if you don't want anything more to happen. Okay, Alexa?"

I'm just clearing my throat.

"Java!"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Good girl's. Think of it as morning kiss from me. You take a shower, I'm going to Bella's room."

"Be careful."

"Be careful?"

"Yes, because maybe Bella's mad at you."

"Hahaha she won't be mad at me."

"Huh you're too confident."

"We'll see." Allard is gone.

I also went to the bathroom and started my routine.

***POV ALLARD***

I walked into the room of the little girl I've been to lately. The little girl seemed cool with the show she was watching on tv.

"Hello baby girl, do you miss me?"

Bella hugged me. "Yes, I really miss you."

I scrunched my forehead. "Do you understand English?"

"A little" he answered.

"That's good," I said.

Bella smiles. "Bella learned it from the doctor when she was bored. The doctor's mom was very good at explaining it so Bella understood quickly."

I stroked his head. "Continue learning. When Bella's cured, I'll take you on a trip abroad. Wanna?"

Bella shakes.

"Why? You don't want to go for a walk?" my many.

"What's the reason?" ask again.

"Because Bella wants to be like a doctor's mom. Completed his education abroad and returned to Indonesia to become a great doctor," he replied happily.

"So, Bella wants to be a doctor like Alexa?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Wow that's a great plan, sweetie."

"I know hehe, but Bella doesn't think she'll be able to reach it."

"Why do you talk like that?"

"Bella knows the cost of living abroad is not cheap and you also know that Bella's disease is likely to be very small."

I was amazed by this little boy. At this very early age, he was already thinking of plans for his future.

"Hey Bella listen to me."

Bella looked me in the eye.

"Tell me what you really want right now."

Bella remained silent.

"Just say it."

"Be-bella. Bella wants to play and learn like any other kid but Bella knows that's impossible."

"Physician Alexa once said that Bella can heal, right?"

Bella nodded.

"Then why is Bella talking like that?"

"The doctor said that Bella could be cured but Bella had to be hospitalized abroad. This hospital is very expensive for us, especially foreign hospitals. Bella doesn't want to bother Grandma any more than this. Actually, Bella has been wanting to give up for a long time but grandma always said that Bella must be strong and survive. Grandma said that if Bella leaves, Grandma will be alone here" explained the little boy.

Suddenly Alexa comes in and hugs Bella. "Bella, the doctor's mom has said that there is no need to think about the cost of the hospital. Let the doctor take care of everything, the important thing is that Bella has a desire to heal and fight."

Bella shakes. "Bella won't bother the doctor more than this. That's enough too."

"Mother doctor never felt bothered by Bella and grandma. You two are like family to the doctor" replied Alexa.

"The doctor works because he needs money, right? If Bella does that then the doctor won't have the money" she replied.

"Who said? If the doctor wants to, the doctor doesn't have to work. But there is a beautiful child here that makes the doctor's mom eager to work and many patients are doctors who need a doctor's mom too" explained Alexa.

"So, doctor of the rich?" ask Bella.

Alexa nodded. "Yes, honey. Because Bella already knows that the doctor's mother is rich, so Bella would want to go abroad for treatment? Bella doesn't need to think about the cost. The doctor's mom will vouch for everything and grandma won't have to work hard to pay for it."

"Yes, Bella ma—"

Uncompleted Bella says the answer, her grandmother Bella comes in and scolds Bella. "No Bella. We can't trouble Alexa's doctors more than this! Grandma is sure you can recover without having to go to a hospital abroad."

"Grandmother, don't be like that. Alexa does not feel bothered by you," said Alexa.

Grandma shakes. "Sorry doctor, but we already owe a lot to doctors and we don't want to bother more than this."

I approached Grandma Bella and clasped her hands. "Grandma, let me pay for all Bella's care in America."

Grandma Bella let go of my hand. "No, sir. Thank you for the offer, but as I said, I don't want to bother Alexa or you. I'm sure Bella is a strong child and she can recover under the care of doctor Alexa."

"Grandmother, I was only able to prevent Bella's disease from getting worse" Alexa said.

"It's okay, doctor. That's enough" replied the grandmother.

"No grandma, it's not enough. Bella wants a normal life like any other child" I said.

"I know. I know very well that Bella wants to play and learn like other children but that's all impossible with the current state of Bella" said the grandmother.

"No. Bella could be cured if we take her to a hospital in America. There I knew a great doctor who would cure Bella's disease" I replied.

"Ta—"

"Believe in me. I will definitely try to make Bella recover and be able to live life as she wishes!" my firmness.

Grandma looked at me with teary eyes. "Why are you so good, sir?"

"Because I love Bella. Bella is a good and smart boy, so I want to heal her and make her a successful child. Bella has told me that she wants to be a doctor like Alexa and I will support her by giving her all the facilities she needs" she said.

Bella's grandmother was crying. He felt so happy that his grandson could recover and live like other children. "Thank you very much, sir. I don't know how to repay your kindness."

"I'm just helping out a little bit. The rest of Bella must try hard to realize her wishes," I replied.

Bella pulled the end of my suit. "Sister, is Bella really going to get well and go to school?"

I stroked Bella's head. "Of course, you can go to school quietly and continue your education to the highest level."

"What about the cost?" tanyanya's worried.

"I'll pay for everything so get well soon and study hard so you can be like Alexa doctor okay? You will go to school where you want" I replied.

Bella hugged me. "Thank you, brother."

I returned Bella's embrace. "You're welcome, baby girl."

"Huh I wasn't hugged?" said Alexa.

Bella laughs. "Hahaha here, doctor. Let's hug."

I spread one hand. "Come here, baby."

Alexa ran into my arms. We hugged her and her grandmother Bella saw her with a happy face.
