"What do you want?" ask Nadine loudly.
The taxi driver did not answer. He even smiled grinningly showing his demeanor. Afterwards, the driver smothered Nadine's mouth, pressing her so strongly that Nadine was almost out of breath.
"Let Me Go!!" Nadine screamed trying to escape.
"Silent!! Stop being a rebel or I will give you a lesson..."
(Shut up! Stop rebelling or I'll teach you a lesson.).
As a result of losing by force, Nadine finally fell also because she was unable to provide resistance.
When Nadine is unconscious, at the same time a group of Papa Alan bodyguards who boarded the van have arrived to rescue Nadine.
The taxi driver has been secured and snatched into bars by local authorities.
Shortly after, Nadine was taken to the hospital for first aid.

At least that's a glimmer of information Ray gave Adrian about how his wife survived the kidnapping. Ray found out after coordinating with Papa Alan's bodyguards.
Before Papa Alan's plane takes off from LA for Rio, Papa Alan somehow has a bad feeling about his daughter-in-law. Papa Alan also expressed his anxiety to the wife.
Hearing her husband's confession, Mama Diana also sat down and joined ketar-ketir given the condition of Nadine who was two-bodied. Starting from a strong feeling drive, Papa Alan sent a shadow messenger without the knowledge of Adrian or Nadine.
And sure enough, Nadine was almost kidnapped by Galih's gang. Fortunately, Papa Alan was quick to respond. A little late, maybe the story will be different.
While Adrian bodyguards are placed to watch Nadine at the hotel, they have received a reprimand and punishment for failing to look after his wife so they can escape the vision.
"How long has my wife been asleep? Why haven't you woken up too doc, but since yesterday has he been in the opname?" Adrian folded his hands together on his chest.
"Mistress Nadine's body is currently exhausted, then the drugs we give can also be one of the factors why she is easily sleepy. We wait another 1 or 2 hours Madam will definitely wake up." replied Doctor Fritz, the personal doctor of the Natadipura family trust.
Adrian proves his point to find the hospital where Nadine is being treated, though without being told by her parents. Even his parents didn't know Adrian had arrived.
It's not a difficult thing. With all the power Adrian has, it is easy for him to get information about Nadine's whereabouts in an instant.
"Then what about the situation? She's okay, right?" ask Adrian again.
Doctor Fritz opened her voice, "Mistress Nadine's condition is good. There were no serious problems when I checked. It's just that for the content is a little weak, so we give a booster drug content. Plus, Madame Nadine just went into shock."
"Lucky Madam did not experience bleeding and so on after a less painful incident happened to her. What the Madam needs right now is enough rest for the next two days. I will keep an eye on his condition at all times" he continued.
Doctors said Nadine was weak. Adrian just remembered that his wife was pregnant.
"How long has it been doc?"
"Yesterday I have done USG, from there it is seen if the age of the womb of Mrs Nadine entered 8 weeks."
Adrian nodded in understanding.
"I can see my wife now Doc?" Adrian wants to see firsthand the state of his wife, making sure that she is okay.
"Of course Mr. Adrian" Dr. Fritz said.
Adrian pushed open Nadine's inpatient room door slowly.
It is undeniable, seeing Nadine lying in a weak condition on a hospital bed makes Adrian sad. There was regret in the depths of his heart. He should not have left his wife alone in the hotel which made him almost doomed.
As a man, Adrian's soul felt stifled because he could not protect his wife just because he felt disappointed after knowing the news of her pregnancy.
Adrian began to rub Nadine's forehead with a soft touch while removing Nadine's hair that covered her eyes.
"As long as you know, I don't refuse. I just wasn't ready. I had a trauma that left me disappointed and scared. I don't want the same thing to happen to you" Adrian's fingers stroked lightly on Nadine's delicate cheeks.
"If I may be honest, I have actually started to accept your presence in my life. I'm getting used to the pampered attitude and affection you give me every day. I don't know what strange feeling I have right now, I can't explain."
This opportunity Adrian used to bring out all his heart that had been stuck. If said Nadine woke up, Adrian not sure can convey his uneg-unegnya clearly.
"I love you Nadine" Adrian peed at Nadine's forehead for a few seconds.
The brief vent session was apparently causing emotional turmoil and increased excessive anxiety in Adrian's mind, making him want to immediately escape from this room. Adrian is afraid he can't control his emotions.
When Adrian was about to leave, Nadine apparently had regained consciousness and held Adrian's hand.
"Don't go anywhere, accompany me here." said Nadine.
"You-you're s-awake?" Adrian looked up.
"Yeah.since then.." Nadine smiled faintly.
If Nadine had woken up earlier, it would have been more likely that Nadine had heard all the expressions of her heart.
Afterwards Adrian helps Nadine to wake up to justify her position and raise her nursing bed so that the two can chat nicely.
"You okay? Should I call a doctor?" adrian asked to distract.
Nadine shakes. She knew her husband was trying to avoid the topic. At first Nadine fad pretending to sleep in order to know what her husband said when he was unconscious.
"I heard everything Adrian.if that's your question."
Degh...
Nadine's words so striking made Adrian chuckle.
"I love you too.." Nadine further tightened her hand grip on Adrian making the man's heart pound.
"Adrian.we're both married, I'd love you to be open with me. I was wondering, what exactly is it that scared you and traumatized you?" Nadine stared at Adrian's net.
"You're sick Nadine, you better not ask weird questions first.Rest rest!"
"Please, I want to know.please explain!" Nadine pleads. "Does this have anything to do with Naomi?"
"Where do you know about Naomi?" Adrian glanced at Nadine with a dislike look.
"I've heard her name mentioned when Valerie came to Mama's house." Nadine reasoned.
She couldn't possibly reveal the secret that it was Mama Diana who had told her about the background of Naomi and Adrian's relationship in the past.
"There's a lot I want to ask you Adrian, and I want you to answer honestly!"
Adrian snorted, "Ask it. But whatever you hear later, I hope you're not disappointed. I warned him."
"I'm ready." replied Nadine steadily.
The two of them were both dissolved in a long silence before Nadine finally opened her voice.
"Who's Naomi? Why is it that every time there's a discussion about Naomi, your face always turns tense?" ask Nadine.
Despite knowing the truth, Nadine still wanted to hear it directly from Adrian's mouth.
"My ex-lover. But he's dead in an accident." Adrian let go of their clasped hands.
"When you decide not to marry and not to have children, does this have anything to do with Naomi?" Nadine tilted her head weakly.
"Maybe, but not completely. This is more of an inner problem that exists within myself. The trauma and fear I had experienced long before I knew Naomi, because I had a problem with mental health. I suffered from PTSD," Adrian lowered his head.
