Sweet Scandals

Ch. 72

In the nursery, Axelle still faithfully accompanied Irene who was unconscious. He kissed gently the back of Irene's fingers in his grasp. Accompanied by a circle of clear water that just escaped from the eye fertilizers.

Her heart was completely broken seeing Irene in such a state. What's more, with the departure of a baby candidate who has not even had time to be born into the world. His heart is getting broken.

He could only regret his mistake of leaving Irene alone at home. Until the fateful incident happened to Irene. He should have forced Irene to come with him back then, if only he had known this would happen.

"I'm sorry Ren. I'm the reason you're like this." Lirih Axelle muttered amidst heart-wrenching grief. While tightening his grip.

Axelle rubbed his face. Removing the tears that had soaked her cheeks. As much as possible he held back his sobs. He tried hard even though his heart was crushed because he had lost a prospective baby.

The sound of the door opening. Axelle's not paying attention. He was drowning in his pain. While continuing to kiss the back of Irene's fingers.

"Axelle." Call Zaky softly followed by a gentle swab on his back.

Axelle didn't look. He continued to look at Irene's face that looked deathly pale. No more hues on that face.

"You must be strong. This might be a test for you. I'm sure you can get through this." Zaky said trying to give Axelle strength.

"It's all my fault. I should've always been by her side." Axelle's regret is non-stop.

Amidst the heart, suddenly Irene's fingers in Axelle's grasp moved. Axelle was also shocked.

"Irene?" Axelle rubbed Irene's face. Her heart anxiously awaited Irene to open her eyes. She believes Irene is dead. 

Slowly, Irene's eyelids began to open. The eyes blinked many times. Adjust the view to the light in the room.

"More. Honey, are you conscious?" Axelle seemed happy to see Irene finally woke up after a few hours he waited. Even now it's night.

Ms. Norma, Ranti and Boni have been coming home since. Only Zaky chose to stay. With the reason of wanting to accompany Axelle waiting for Irene. But Ranti promised to come back to see Irene. Beloved daughter-in-law.

Irene turned her face slowly. His eyes were staring at Axelle who was beside him. Grasped his fingers tightly, and gently rubbed his face. Zaky was standing behind Axelle.

"Where am I now?" Irene asked confusedly. Because the white room looks foreign in view.

"You're in the hospital."

"Hospital? Why me?"

"You're Ren's accident."

Irene gaped in disbelief. "Accident? Then my baby ... How's baby? My baby's okay, right?"

Axelle did not answer Irene's question on this one. Axelle turned his face away. Trying to get rid of tears that almost spilled.

"Axelle. Our baby's okay, right?" Ask Irene again.

But Axelle still speaks a thousand languages. Irene rolled her eyes at Zaky. I hope Zaky answers his question.

"My baby's okay, right?" Irene looked at Zaky.

Same thing with Axelle. Zaky speaks a thousand languages. It was heartless to tell Irene the reality of her content that was taken away by the accident.

Irene was even more curious. With the silence of Zaky and Axelle, raises his suspicions.

"Why are you guys quiet? Why don't you guys answer my question?" Irene asked with her eyes starting to glaze over.

Her instincts as a mother, began to feel a bad sign of the silence of Zaky and Axelle. Slowly the pain began to feel. His instincts seemed to be saying, Bad things have happened.

"Please answer my question." Irene Pinta.

"Darling ... The doctor said you should rest a lot. Don't think about anything first. Your condition must be completely recovered." Axelle said to distract Irene.

But his feelings can't be ignored. Irene was very sure, something bad had happened.

"I'm just asking you to answer my question. What's hard, just stay answered." Irene began to feel disappointed. Unknowingly, the tears began to fall from the corner of her eyes.

"Sorry Ren. For that, you should just ask the doctor. The doctor knows better." Zaky. He just felt he had no right to tell Irene about the contents.

Irene tried to get up to sit down. But his body is helpless. Until he was back lying down.

"Darling, don't get up. You have to rest a lot." Axelle said worriedly. He got up from the bench and moved to sit on the edge of the bed. Then he bowed. Gently peeked at Irene's forehead. Pretty long. Until his tears just fell without being able to hold him back.

Axelle's cries began to sound. Followed by his body that was slowly shaken due to a restrained cry. Axelle then buried her face in the recess of Irene's neck. Shedding her roaring cry.

"I'm sorry I can't take care of you." Axelle said softly in between her sobs.

Without needing Axelle to say it, Irene could already understand it. His instincts are so strong. And now Irene's sobs are heard.

"I'm sorry I can't take care of you two. It's all my fault." Wail Axelle once again.

While sobbing in her tears, Irene raised both her hands. Hugged Axelle who was holding her. The two shed tears in their increasingly tight arms.

The sobbing of Axelle and Irene echoed filled the white room. Zaky who witnessed the heart-wrenching sight also shed tears. His heart was very sad to see the sister and woman who had stopped in his heart in a state of disintegration.

I don't know who to blame. It all happened so fast. Just now they felt happiness, now everything was gone in an instant.

"It's not your fault Axelle. But I was wrong. I can't take good care of myself." Irene said softly in her arms.

Axelle lifted her face from the recess of Irene's neck. Then give a pecking-tubi at every curve of his face.

"Although God took it from us, but I'm sure he must be happy there. Because he knew, his mother loved him very much. There's no better mother than you." Axelle stared fixedly at Irene's eyeball in such a close distance.

Irene brought her fingers over Axelle's face. Then wipe away the tears on that face.

"You are the best husband and father in the world. You know that, right?"

Axelle smelled his smile. Then nodded slowly.

"Axelle, I love you so much." Irene said wholeheartedly.

Axelle is back in tears. He rubbed it gently next to Irene's cheek. The oxygen hose is still in Irene's nose.

"I love you too." Reply Axelle full of haru. He rubbed it gently next to Irene's face. While reviewing her sweet smile in the midst of heart-wrenching poignancy.

In the midst of the atmosphere that enveloped, suddenly Olivia and Hadi came to approach. The two stared softly at Irene.

Realizing the arrival of Olivia and Hadi, Axelle also moved from the edge of the bed. Then sit back on a small bench on the side of the bed. His hand was still clutching Irene's fingers. And next to her hand again, gently rubbed the top of Irene's head.

"Mrs ... Miss Olive and Mr. Hadi come to see you." Axelle said slowly.

Irene also commented on her smile looking at Olivia and Hadi alternately.

"Thank you, Miss Olive has come to see me. Sorry if I'm too much trouble." Irene softly said.

Olivia smiled with teary eyes. Same with Hadi.

"Mrs ... There's something you should know." Axelle.

Irene looked at Axelle, looking at Axelle's suddenly serious look. It made her wonder what Axelle wanted to say.

"You know Ms. Olive, right?" Axelle asked.

Irene chuckled softly while nodding softly. "Your question is strange. Of course I know Miss Olive. He's my boss."

Axelle shakes. Then glanced for a moment at Olivia and Hadi who looked patiently waiting for Axelle to finish his delivery.

"The one standing before you right now is ... Mr. Hadi and Ms. Olivia. These two are ... Is ..." Axelle sighed for a moment. Before finally finishing his sentence with mixed feelings.

"They are your father and mother. These are your birth parents."

Irene was silent. Mute a thousand languages. Staring closely at Axelle. Trying to find sincerity in Axelle's words.

Axelle is good at acting. Maybe Axelle is acting right now. And intend to work on it. That's what came to his mind.

"Don't joke Axelle. I know, you love to fuck me. You're kidding, right?" Irene still didn't believe it just yet.

Axelle is back. "i'm serious. These are your real parents."

Irene was silent again. Sculpting instantly. Staring closely at Axelle's eyeballs. Axelle's words felt like a dream to her.

The biological parents?

Did ya?

If he has biological parents, then why did he even live in an orphanage since childhood?

"No Axelle. I'm an orphan." Irene said in her disappointment.

Hearing Irene's words, Olivia's cries broke immediately. But Irene did not turn her face away. His eyes were still on Axelle. Somehow that disappointment had unknowingly cultivated hatred in his heart. He was determined not to hate his parents.

Was that as deep as the disappointment in Irene's heart?
