My Family's Secret

Not the Harrison family?

Her night.

I called Allard and was answered by him. Yeah, that's what Allard is like, he'll answer my phone straight away.

"Hi."

"Hi, how are you guys there? Everything is fine, right?"

"Yes, you asked me that last week, Alexa."

"Hahaha yes but it's been a week since I've asked that."

"Are you gonna ask that every time we call?"

"of courses. I want to make sure you're always okay."

"You don't have to worry, Alexa. Me and Bella are always fine here."

"That's great. How's Dion doing? I haven't heard from him in a long time."

Allard's face seemed unhappy when I asked Dion's situation.

"Don't get me wrong, Allard. I just want to know the state of your loyal subordinates. However he must have been busier there because he had to control the company from afar, yes so are you."

"Yes, Dion's situation is fine. He seemed happy to stay here until I thought I should just put him in the company here."

"Hahaha don't be like that. Dion will cry when he hears this."

"You laugh too."

I was silent too.

"What do you mean?"

"Lately you haven't laughed or smiled. What was? Is there something going on there?"

"Nothing."

"Then why do you always look so grim on the phone with me? Is something bad going on?"

"Allard, let's finish the phone. I'm tired and want to go to bed early."

"Well if that's what you want. Sleep well, baby."

After that I turned off the phone.

"Did my face look so clear? Why does everyone know my mood swings?" my many.

I lay down on the bed and covered my face with a blanket. I closed my eyes and wished everything I heard was just a dream.

Flashback.

That day Regan came with a body full of cuts and bruises. Since I didn't have any patients back then, so I was the one who handled Regan and I happened to know her as well so there's no way I'd just shut up when I saw her like that.

He looks like he's whimpering in pain. I rushed to treat him. "What happened to you, Regan?!"

"I'm fine, just a regular wound. Don't put on a face like that" he replied.

"It's okay how?! Your body is full of wounds and bruises like this. Who would dare to do it?" many angry.

"Why? Is the lady going to scold the guy?" tanyakanya.

"certain. How dare he hurt you" I replied.

Regan who heard my answer laughed. "Hahaha you're so funny, miss."

"Regan! I'm serious," I said annoyed. He can still laugh when I'm worried about him like this?

"Miss sure she'll scold him?" tanyakanya.

"Related," I replied firmly.

"The person who made me hurt like this is Mr. Dhanu" he said.

I was surprised to hear that. "Grandfather Dhanu?! Why did Grandpa Dhanu hurt you like this? Did you make a mistake? But whatever mistake you've made, it's not worth it to hurt you like this."

"You seem very worried about me, miss," he said.

"Of course, you are my friend. I don't want to see my friend get hurt like this" I replied.

Regan looked me in the face.

"Regan, what exactly did you do wrong? Grandpa Dhanu can't possibly beat you up" I said.

"Why can't he?" tanyanya's confused.

"Because you are Dhanu's grandfather's favorite subordinate," I replied.

Regan laughs. "Hahaha really? How did miss know? Did you tell him yourself?"

I'm shaking. "No, but I can figure it out because you're the only person allowed into the lab besides me. You told me that Dhanu's grandfather didn't allow just anyone to enter his lab."

Regan smiles. "Surely, the lady remembered it. The master does not allow just anyone to enter but one thing you need to remember, I don't need to get permission from the master to go into that lab because it was my idea completely so I'm the biggest right-holder for the lab."

"Really? Then Dhanu's grandfather loves you very much because he built the laboratory" I said.

I also finished treating it. "It's over."

"It's so fast."

"Huh hurry? Then you want that long?"

"Yes if I can."

I shook my head. "There-there's. Oh right you haven't answered my question, why did Grandpa Dhanu hurt you like this? "

"What disease is it?" my many.

"Hmm can be said to be a mental illness. Sometimes the feeling of the master returned a few years ago so when that happened the master would go berserk and destroy everything nearby. He also did not hesitate to hit anyone who was near him as well. That's why I asked all the maids to leave when master's illness was relapsing" he explained.

"Then what about yourself?" ask again.

"Of course I have to stay in the mansion because master needs someone to take care of him" he replied.

"You're so good" he said.

Regan chuckles. "You're praising me too much, miss."

"How's Grandpa Dhanu doing now? Is the disease still coming back?" ask me for the umpteenth time.

"Before I came here, he was asleep because I put sleeping pills in his food. You take it easy, sleeping pills are under the supervision of a doctor so it is safe," he explained.

"Can I see Grandpa Dhanu now?" my permission.

"I don't think for now, miss. The state of the master is still unstable, we do not know when the master will go berserk again and I do not want anything bad to happen to you" he said.

"It's okay, Regan. I happen to have handled this kind of thing, I want to try to help Grandpa Dhanu to take off his illness but if it is not possible then it is okay, I will not force," I said.

"Did you like to see the condition of the master?" tanyakanya.

I'm nodding.

Regan let out her breath. "Alright but the lady should always be near me."

"Yes" I replied.

"Then we go now," he said.

"I'll take care of things first." I immediately tidied up my things.

When it was over, Regan and I went to Dhanu's grandfather's mansion.

True, said Regan, there is no one in this mansion because everything has gone on Regan's orders and will return when the state of Dhanu's grandfather is stable.

"You sure you want to see the master?" ask Regan to make sure.

I who was caught off guard by the question also rolled my eyeballs lazy. "Regan, I'm sure. How many times have you asked that?"

"I just don't want you to regret it later, miss," he said.

I'm shaking. "will not. It's just that if I don't try to help her then I'll regret it later."

"alright. Remember what I said, stay close to me!" his sweat.

"Yes yes. Quickly open the door!" my orders.

Regan opens the door to Dhanu's grandfather's room. Inside was very messy, many items were splattered on the floor. Potted smashed everywhere. There was only a middle-aged man who was lying down with gasping breath on his bed.

Regan approaches Dhanu's grandfather and tries to talk to him. "Sir, there's Miss Alexa here. He came to see your situation."

Slowly Grandpa Dhanu's eyes opened. He looked around and his gaze ended on me. I tried to approach them slowly and tried to speak. "Ha-hello grandpa. We haven't seen each other in a long time."

There was no answer from Grandpa Dhanu.

"Close, lady, you may not be able to hear your voice" Regan said.

I followed Regan's words. I walked over to Regan and Dhanu's grandfather.

As I got a little closer, Grandpa Dhanu immediately pulled my hand and shouted. "BASIC KILLER BOY! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SURVIVE WHEN THAT DAMNED FAMILY IS DEAD, HUH?!"

I thrashed so that Dhanu's grandfather's hand would release me, Regan also helped but Dhanu's grandfather's strength was immense.

"Take off Miss Alexa, sir. Harrison's family would be furious to learn that his granddaughter was hurt" Regan said.

"HE'S NOT HARRISON'S FAMILY!" snapped grandpa Dhanu.

I was surprised to hear that word.

"What do you mean, sir? Have you forgotten Miss Alexa?" regan was confused.

"HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN THE FACE OF THIS SMITH FAMILY'S ONLY CHILD. FAMILY MURDERER!!! YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED WHEN EVERYONE FROM THE SMITH FAMILY DIED. WHY ARE YOU STILL ALIVE AND LIVING A QUIET LIFE?!! DON'T YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED BECAUSE OF YOUR FAMILY?!"

My head hurts to hear everything Grandpa Dhanu said. A memory of the past that I never remembered.

Regan smacks Dhanu's grandfather's nape and passes out. Grandpa Dhanu's hand was released. I sat down on the floor and held my head which felt like it wanted to break.

Regan came straight for me. "You why miss?!"

"HEAD HURTS!" screaming pain.

I kept hitting my head and grabbing my hair, hoping this headache could go away.

"Miss, don't hurt yourself like that" Regan said, holding my hand.

"sickness. My head hurts so much that it feels like it wants to break" I said.

"Silence, miss. Calm yourself." Regan kept trying to help me calm down.

I kept crying while whimpering in pain. Regan hugged me and tried to calm me down. He always said that everything was fine until I calmed down.

"I-I want to go home, Regan," I asked.

"alright. I'll take you home now." Regan helped me get up and get me to the car.

He drove me home safely.

Flashback.
