THE PARK IN TURIN

AUTHOR POV

Ceklekk...

The door to Nathan's room opened, revealing Nadine with a face covered in tears. His eyes were slightly swollen and slightly reddened. Adrian's strong guess, Nadine must have been so emotional when she met her brother inside.

"Where is your brother's condition?"

"It has begun to improve, although so far the progress has not increased significantly. Brother Nathan is also still weak and can not interact much with me. But fortunately Nathan began to be able to eat, yesterday his food intake only entered through intravenous fluids. Now he's asleep."

"You take it easy, your brother is well handled here. I've been deploying the best medical team to deal with your brother, since yesterday he had surgery."

"Thank you so much Adrian" Nadine smiled faintly. "Oh yeah, I was vague as if I heard you talking to people?! Who have you met?"

"That's Ray. He was here, just now he's gone. I asked him to take care of the legal process for your brother's abduction. Since we're abroad, the procedure for taking care of it is quite time-consuming."

"Have all the people involved been arrested?"

"It has. Ray and I have been taking care of him since yesterday, only his execution is only now!"

A feeling of relief enveloped Nadine at this moment. He was amazed by Adrian who moved quickly and was able to solve all problems instantly. Nadine's arms were wide open to hug Adrian.

Grepp's....

"How can I repeat of all the good things that you've ever done to me?" lirih Nadine who whispered in Adrian's ear gently while hugging him.

(How can I repay all the good things you've done for me?)

Adrian could not answer. He just kept quiet and returned Nadine's embrace by rubbing her back gently.

"Hmm..please let go?! You've been holding me for too long" Adrian said.

Nadine grimaces and thins her lips "I'm sorry.sorry you made you uncomfortable!"

"No problem!" Adrian tilted his head.

An atmosphere of awkwardness began to arise between them after the arms of the two were released. To be honest, nothing has changed from the current relationship of Nadine and Adrian. The two men were still both stiff with each other.

Even after they had engaged in romance activities and enjoyed the world overnight, their relationship remained flat. There is no further discussion about the hot activities that the two of them did yesterday, then what about the clarity of their relationship in the future. Everything is still gray.

Neither Adrian nor Nadine, no one wants to start to open the conversation because they are too embarrassed. Both are at war with themselves to defend their own egos. Prestigious was the right word to describe them at this moment.

"Can we get out of here to get some fresh air? I need to talk to you.."

"What about Nathan? He's all alone here and no one's looking after him!" Nadine folded her hands over her chest.

"I'll ask 2 nurses to watch her in the room. If care is outside, there are my bodyguards who will take care of your brother so that no one messes around."

"But.I still don't calm down if you leave your sister alone! I'm afraid to part with him again.."

It has been quite 3 months Nadine is tormented because she separated from her brother. He doesn't want any more help until Nathan's out of his reach.

Adrian persuaded, "Just for a moment, I need to discuss one and two things with you. Promises will not be long. We'll go somewhere nearby, after which you can keep your brother satisfied."

Nadine agreed, "Okay. We're going now?!"

"Ladies first!" Adrian reached out his hand and let Nadine walk first.

"This park is so beautiful!! I haven't been to the park in a long time, how do you know this place?"

"Internets." Adrian sniffed his shoulders.

Nadine chuckles, "The classic answer..."

Because there happened to be a long empty bench facing the lake, Nadine and Adrian chose to sit there.

No serious talk came out of their mouths. Both are still washed away in the silence and tranquility created by this garden. They are more interested in seeing ducks passing through the water.

"What did you talk to your sister about?" ask Adrian to talk.

"As I said earlier, we don't communicate much, given my brother's unstable condition."

Nadine's face turned lethargic. There was one thing that was currently troubling his mind. She wondered to herself, roughly did her brother know about their father's tragic death?

"What's wrong?" Adrian noticed the sadness in Nadine's forehead.

Nadine rolled her gaze to the sky, "I'm just wondering..."

(I was just thinking)

"About what?" Adrian squinted his eyes.

(About what?)

Nadine turned to Adrian and looked him in the eye intensely, "Does my brother know about our father's death?"

(Did my brother know about our father's death?)

"He knows, Nad.."

"Why are you so sure? Do you know anything?"

"The plotters of the shooting of your father confessed at the police station, that the news of Mr. Aaron's death had reached Nathan's ear when he was held captive. Nathan was also there when your father was shot, chances are he already knew."

"Probably that's better, I hope he knows better! Because I may not be able to explain to Brother Nathan that Dad is dead."

Nadine's breath felt choked. His eyes began to heat up because they held back the tear from falling down the cheek. No matter how hard his heart tried to toughen up, he always failed. The weakest point occurs when his mind is as intense as remembering the father who has died.

"It's my turn to ask. Nathan doesn't know about our wedding yet, does he? I mean did you tell her something about our relationship?"

"Nope. Where had time to tell a long story, just to know that he realized it was lucky and made my heart relieved!"

"yes too. I spoke to the doctor about Nathan breaking a bone in his neck and having his throat cut, so his vocal cords were compromised."

"That is correct! All I can do right now is pray to God that Brother Nathan will be healed soon and be reunited with me.."

Adrian understands if Nathan's current condition is not possible to be invited to discuss although many things that want to be discussed. His impatient attitude came back to the surface. Unfortunately, the desire to solve all problems as soon as possible should run aground. So waiting is an alternative option that must be taken.

Adrian's plan after Nathan was declared 100% healed was to give him an understanding of the clarity of his marriage to Nadine. After that, Adrian will just launch the action to extract the information he needs from Nathan.
