My Great Little Wife
Devan's First Meeting and Albert's Story (Revised)
“Am I interrupting?“
“No! What made Mr Devan visit?“
Although Raiden slightly objected to his presence, but he did not dare to tell the truth.
“Please call my name only, we are not doing business meeting.“
Seeing the man's smile and hospitality, Raiden felt that there was something strange about Devan. He couldn't believe the rumors.
“Biklah, we can sit on the sofa.“
Inside the VIP room, there is a set of sofas, bathrooms and one bed for the patient's family.
They were sitting on the sofa not far from Alana's bed, Devan's eyes still kept staring at Alana and it made Raiden a little anxious.
“Ap there is something you want to say?“
“No, I just heard that Alana is being treated. So I decided to visit him, however we will cooperate.“
“Thank you for your concern, I also want to apologize for Ana's rejection that time.“
“No problem."
They're silent again. Devan continued to stare at Alana with a gaze that Raiden could not understand, as the room was enveloped in an awkward atmosphere and sound. Suddenly, Raiden's stomach rang.
“Looks like you haven't had dinner.“
“I'm waiting for Ana to fall asleep.“
Raiden smiled shyly. He had not even eaten from lunch until now, it starved his stomach.
“I'll order food for you.“
“No, no need.“
Devan stared at the awkward face and did not want Raiden to leave Alana alone in the room. He understood that the man was very protective of Alana.
“You must eat, let me keep Alana for you.“
“It is not necessary.“
“I promise I will take care of him. Anyway if you don't eat, your stomach will hurt and it will make Alana bother when she finds out.“
Hearing Devan's words, the man also thought about it. If she was sick, then there would be no one to look after Ana tomorrow, she could not ask Sandra or Aunt Gu to come.
“I'm afraid to trouble you.“
“Of course not, right now I am also waiting for my driver. If I wait here, then the hospital will not be noisily by some irrelevant people.“
Raiden agreed with Devan's remarks. If he waited for his driver outside, then the women who were in the hospital would make a fuss. It will disturb the patients in the hospital.
“Alright, sorry for troubling you.“
“No problem.“
After a while, Raiden decided to go to a restaurant not too far from the hospital.
Seeing that the man was gone, Devan stood up and walked towards Alana's bed. He sat on the chair beside the bed, Devan looked at Alana's pale face with a sad look mixed with happiness.
Sad to see the woman hurt, happy to finally meet her.
“Latest we meet. But unfortunately, our meeting should be like this.“
Devan stared at Alana's arm wrapped in bandages. He knew that it must have been very painful, his heart was sad when he saw Alana's suffering that was still not reduced.
“I really want to thank you for helping me two years ago. If only you hadn't come, maybe I would have been in hell with my grudges by now
He always remembered what happened that night. It was a night that could never be forgotten in his life, he saw firsthand the betrayal committed by his own family. From then on, he could no longer trust anyone but his grandfather, younger brother as well as his two parents.
“Sorry because I still can't repay all your kindness, I should have protected you. But it's okay, you're fine now. I'll help your company grow. That's in return for my service to you.“
Devan felt a little silly with his attitude talking to the sleeping person. She knew that Alana was currently sleeping soundly because of the medicine, so she revealed everything and spoke to him.
“You are a strong woman. Your age is young, yet you have experienced so much suffering. If I were in your position, I might have lost my sanity after being betrayed by the family.“
When he heard of his past, he became amazed and respected Alana. Not everyone can stay sane after being dumped by his family and also his fiancee.
***
The Stanly Mansion.
Albert, Myra and her three sons are sitting in the living room. The three of them waited for the father's explanation of Alana's identity. Albert looked at his three sons and exhaled softly, after which he began to talk about Alana's identity.
“You know, actually Alana is the nephew of father and also your close cousin.“
After hearing this and the father. Mike, Justin and Austin were shocked, they did not think that this truth was so shocking.
“She was kicked out by both her parents. Just like the father who was kicked out of that family 25 years ago."
They also just found out that the father has a dark history like that.
“What's the reason dad got kicked out?“ Mike asked.
“Dad prefers your mother over the woman your grandmother brought. You should know, the Alaric family is highly respected because of the position of your grandfather in the Military. Your grandmother does not like the background of your mother who is only a child from an ordinary family.“
“Why are they so cruel, Dad? Did my grandfather do the same?" this time Justin spoke up, he became a little upset when he heard it.
“Of course not, at that time your grandfather was on duty abroad. Your grandmother purposely brought a woman of her choice to set her up on father.“
“Lantas why don't you talk directly to grandpa about it?“ Mike added.
“At that time dad had no other choice. The woman's family threatened to kill your mother, so I immediately took her abroad and did not dare to contact your grandfather.“
Albert still clearly remembers the threat of the woman. She knew that she was obsessed with him, but she would never be able to live with someone she didn't love.
“What did Alana also have the same fate as dad?“ Austin asked.
“We have a little something in common. He was expelled because of the incitement of an adopted son brought home by the father's older brother, do you know? He was 18 years old, but he had to be treated cruelly. In fact, his fiancee who he has helped to become CEO also threw it away just for the sake of the adopted child.“
Hearing that, Myra and her three sons were shocked and became sad. If they were in Alana's position, they might have gone mad.
“It was so terrible, Father.“ Austin mutters.
“Yes, that's the cause of Alana's cold and untouchable attitude at the moment. If we want to adopt it, then we have to be patient and it is not easy to be hurt with every rude remark.”
“We understand Father, if it is us. Maybe at this time I have become a madman or even a pisikopat.“ Mike says.
“We promise to treat the pain of our little sister about the family Father.“ Justin promised.
Hearing his son's promise, Albert and Myra smiled happily. Since tonight, the five of them promised to heal the pain in Alana's heart about family ties.
“Dad knows you can. Thank you for accepting Alana as our little sister.“
“Sure Dad, after all it would be great if we could have a little sister like Alana,“, said Austin with passion.
“But Father. What are we going to tell the public about Alana when she's willing to adopt?“
Hearing Mike's question, his two younger brothers also nodded in agreement with their brother's question.
“Father and mother have agreed to tell the public, that Alana is your mother's daughter who disappeared during childbirth. Your mother doesn't mingle with society very often, so we can say that we're hiding your mother's pregnancy because we don't want anything bad to happen to your mother and sister."
“Then, what about the hospital where mom gave birth, Dad?“
“We can say that your mother gave birth while accompanying my father to go abroad to work. About the hospital, I will ask for help from my best friend who has a hospital in D.“ Country
Heard that plan. Mike, Justin and Austin, agree. It seemed like both of their parents had already thought about the plan very well.
"If so, we will make the younger sister agree to enter into our family.“ Austin promised.
“Yes Father, I will remain in Country A until the younger sister is willing to be part of our family.“ Mike has also decided not to leave his family before Alana is willing to become their younger sister.
“We will work for Father.“ Justin says.
Heard the words of his three sons. Albert and Myra smiled happily, they would work hard to get Alana.
