Substitute Mother
Chapters 134. I am Sorry
“Jeanno is crazy!”
Hannah, who had just saved the drugs back to the p3k box after treating Mark's wounds, could only rub her husband's shoulders gently so that Mark's emotions receded. Regarding the conflict between the two brothers, Hannah did not say much. Because he thinks he's just an outsider and not the main play.
“I understand he loves Nayara. But can he accept the fact that Nayara died almost two years ago? I think I want to push his head against the wall so he wakes up to bury his past and start a new page”
“For God's sake, does he not pity to see Aera who has to lose the figure of ‘mama’ for the second time? If Jeanno returns me like this, I'm sure he has, or will do, worse to Judith. Jeez... I can't even imagine”.
After Jeanno's office, Mark went to his cousin's sister's house to meet Judith. But instead he met the housekeeper, saying that Judith, or who he knew as Nayara, had not returned home for several days. Then Mark went to the woman's old apartment, which also seemed empty because there was no answer after he pushed the bell dozens of times.
Hannah was no less panicked. Do not ask how often he tried to contact Judith's phone which still leads to voicemail. The former dancer of the night had also called some of their former co-workers, who he might be able to ask for help regarding Judith's whereabouts. But none of them know.
“Do Judith have a favorite place that she used to visit when she was sad?”
Hannah shaking. Judith whom he had known all along was a very strong and cheerful figure. He had a trauma, but he never shared it openly.
“When he was sad, he would come to my room or Renatta's room. He hugged us without saying anything. I don't know any special place besides this”
“I'm really scared if anything happens to her. And all this is my fault”
Hannah gives a gentle swab to Mark's arm. “Your intentions are good just to protect her. Now don't blame yourself, baby. We're focused on finding Judith, yeah?”
Mark turned his head, looking at the ayu face as an escape to calm the emotions. And it always works. The rumbling in his chest gradually disappeared, his mind began to clear again. The wife pulled him into the deck.
“Thank you dear. If there wasn't you, I would've killed Jeanno”

No, Judith didn't run away.
It just takes time to think. The lawsuit demands Judith return three billion within 14 days. Which it inevitably adds to the burden of the mind of the pregnant woman. Judith has only 2 billion. The total of his savings during the dance first, 500 million from Jeanno's check at the beginning of the agreement, and the rest of the monthly money he had received as a surrogate mother.
“Still less than one billion more. Where to look?”
A question I don't know how many times was said in my mind. The assets Judith has are just savings, brandy bags that have been left unkempt because she moved into Jeanno's house for months, and this apartment.
If you have to be faced with the option to sell assets, the apartment is much more valuable than a brandy bag that is already dull. But anyway this apartment is the result of hard work from not only him, but also there is money Hannah and Renatta. Indeed, the ownership documents are recorded in the name of Judith. But he was not hearty enough if he had to sell this unit. Especially without the consent of two of his friends, and for his sake.
The letter says that if Judith is unable to return it, she will be sentenced to prison. Judith was not very knowledgeable about the law, but considering how a Jeanno who was able to shake up a business as big as Victoire, it was definitely not difficult for the man to destroy it.
In the midst of his khidmad thought, his stomach felt twisted. The woman complained, it hurt so much. His legs sagged, making his body fall to the floor.
“Arghh!”
A whirlpool of sweat as big as corn seeds soaked his face. It hurt the most, the most painful thing Judith ever felt. Judith had resigned to that point if this was her last moment. Then he looked at his phone, struggling to dial Hannah's number, which he had ignored for several days.
“Judith?! You're where? Oh, my God, I'm so worried. I've called you so many times but not picked up. I'm home, where are you? Let me pick you up, baby”
Judith smiled, at least her patients like this, there are still people who care about her.
“Where are you, baby? tell me quickly! Let me and Mark pick you up”
The pain became so intense that Judith could no longer afford to stay in a sitting position. His body was lying down, along with the tears he could not bear.
“What..rt..emen”
Judith did not know what Hannah was saying next, as her eyes blurred and darkened instantly.
Whatever will happen, both bad, Judith will receive with a free chest. Let's just say he is getting karma for all the bad things he has done before. Suppose now he is reaping the consequences of the dirty work that became the source of his income first.
‘Nayara, I'm sorry. Forgive me for dreaming of replacing you. I, Aleta. once again apologize’.
‘Aera, sorry mom who can't accompany Aera. Sorry mama who has taken the position of mama Nayara. Forgive me for being far from a good mother. One thing Aera needs to know, baby mama is never fake. Mama loves Aera like a mother loves her daughter.’*
‘Mr Jeanno, I don't have any defense for my mistakes. Forgive me for reawakening that old wound, forgive me for being born into a filthy family that affected the late Nayara. Forgive me who could not choose to be born from a family which..’*
‘My baby, forgive mama who is not so good at taking care of you. If heaven is the best place for you, mama let you go, son. Compared to you have to be born from the womb of a mother like a mother. Go, son. Be born in the womb of a woman who has a clear background. Not a dirty woman like mama.”*

It took Mark nearly an hour to break through the capital's traffic jam. In addition, Hannah has repeatedly wiped the tears due to deep concerns about Judith's condition. It was clear something was wrong, judging by the tone of Judith's voice on the phone. Mark himself felt guilty for not fighting harder to get Judith to open the door when he went to the woman's apartment. With ease he turned around, thinking the unit was empty in fact, Judith deliberately did not open the door for her efforts alone.
Once in front of the unit, Hannah reaches for the access card she still has. Without waiting for a long time to be put his foot in, hoping to find Judith in good health without lacking anything.
But his hope was dashed, because what he found was the limp body of his best friend who was lying on the floor, next to a cellphone that was still on.
Lucky Mark has good reflexes, so he can catch his wife's limp body after seeing Judith's condition.
The woman was not only unconscious in a physical condition of concern, but there was also a thick blood flow between her thighs.
“Mark.”
Mark was eager to calm the trembling Hannah down, but now was not the time. All he had to do quickly was take Judith to the hospital. Make sure that his condition is fine.
I hope that.
