THE DOCTOR'S LOVE TRAP

59. Galvin's Explanation

"Galvin?"

How could Elrich meet Galvin at the social change. Moreover, the situation of Galvin who was sitting in a wheelchair. Just a few days ago Elrich again heard the name of this man called by Claire as the man who should be responsible for Pevita-previous pregnancy. Now, they were even met under these circumstances.

In the end, they decided to speak with four eyes.

Abrine was quite surprised because El never told him about Galvin. But, he gave space and time for the two of them to tell a story.

"You're married?" That was the first question Galvin asked Elrich.

"Hemm, I married Abrine a month ago."

Galvin nodded, for quite a while he fell silent with his thoughts. El did not want to ask before Galvin opened his voice. Until Galvin started his conversation that had paused.

"Before, I wanted to tell you a confession. About me and Pevita--"

"I've heard it," Elrich quickly cut.

Galvin's face changed. He was quite surprised to hear El had known everything.

"If there's anyone to blame for Pevita's death, it's me, not you, El."

"I also told her to have an abortion even though I regretted it afterwards."

"Yes, maybe we're both guilty. But there's more guilt than either of us."

Elrich looked at Galvin with his eyebrows raised, as if asking who this man meant.

"Claire was the one who caused all this to happen, but he still did not accept his sister's death."

Elrich nodded. "That's it, it's the past. I want to bury him deep."

Galvin laughed heartily. "Don't think Claire's just blaming you, El. He also blamed me for Pevita's death."

Elrich looked confusedly at Galvin.

"I did it because I loved Claire so much, I was willing to do whatever she wanted. I was made a puppet for his own sake. I feel guilty for Pevita, too."

"If so, why don't you just take responsibility for Pevita?"

"I can't. I don't love Pevita. I don't want to hurt her more by marrying her. Besides, if I do that, Claire will be satisfied because all her plans are working."

".... dumb I used to be, following everything she wanted."

Elrich fell silent with Galvin's confession. Then why did Claire accuse her of not knowing anything? In fact, Claire also accused him of impregnating Pevita.

"Claire loves you, El. But his love for you has turned into a crazy obsession."

"You know why I'm paralyzed like this? It's also because of it, even though I can't prove anything."

El was flabbergasted to hear Galvin's speech.

Although El believes Claire is a woman who is willing to do anything, but El does not understand why Galvin blames Claire for her paralysis. It feels like Claire could be that close, considering they used to be lovers.

"Are you sure?"

"Very."

"Why did he do that?"

"I heard back then that you were sued by their families for Pevita's death. I wanted to tell you right from the start, but Claire didn't give me any opening to open her mouth, she did everything she could to keep you feeling guilty about her sister's death. And he just hurt me, I'm pretty sure that somehow all the evidence seems to be gone."

".... That's when I met Kristy. He's the one who saved me and took care of me to this day."

Elrich fell silent, he digested all of Galvin's explanations.

"Don't think his passing over these few years is meaningless, El. He's preparing, because it's your turn."

In reality, El became thinking hard. About Galvin's words and related them to Abrine's words at that time.

"Now he works at the same hospital as me."

Galvin smiled with irony. "Do you think it's a coincidence? Or just a coincidence?" tanyakanya.

"Of course, I can't conclude."

"Then from that, be careful of him. He's gone mad. I warned you, El," Galvin said.

Abrine is unlikely to dodge when it turns out he has to be confronted again with a woman named Freya while she is eating at a Cafe with Anne-after their meeting.

"You here?" cynical Freya.

"It's a public place, no one's stopping me from being here."

"You know, you're the naiveest woman I've ever met. You married someone else but you didn't let Raymond be happy with anyone else."

"What are you saying that for? I never forbade Raymond from being in contact with anyone, I have no right to him. Maybe you're the one who's out of luck, because Raymond's not really happy with you."

Freya clenched her hands until her knuckles turned white. Abrine's remarks really underestimated him.

"Listen Freya, I've had a new life. I don't want to fight with you because I'm talking about a man who's not my husband!" press Abrine.

Anne, who was also there, could only stroke Abrine's shoulder to calm him down. Though Abrine was not emotional at all with Freya's statement, he responded casually. Maybe Anne was just afraid of a fight because she knew how her boss acted.

"Miss, please get out of here, please" said Anne. He thought about why Freya was desperate to find a commotion with Abrine. Does Freya not know what if Abrine has gone berserk?

You're disturbing the silent lion, miss. Inner Anne.

"All right, I'm going. But, your selfless superior should have realized that she wasn't that pretty to break my heart."

Freya's words succeeded in making Abrine's emotions ignited. In one fist, the woman fell down with blood coming out of her nose.

"Baseless women have no ethics!" freya Beaver.

Abrine even grimaced hearing that, he tidied up the blazer he was wearing. Subjecting his gaze to Freya who was sitting on the floor.

"After this, whatever you want to do. It's just a warning from me that you take care of your ethical mouth and behavior" Abrine said.

Abrine. Even he stepped over Freya's body just like that. Freya was upset and her anger had reached the crown.

"Hey, cocky! I'll sue you. You hear that? I'll sue you!" squeals Freya but Abrine doesn't care about her anymore.

On the way, Anne felt anxious about the threat that Freya had said earlier.

"Miss, if he really demands how? It's gonna be a defamation for our company." Anne worries about Abrine and the company she works for.

"Calm down, he wouldn't dare to do it."

"Why are you so sure, Miss?"

"Because before he does I'll report it first."

Abrine recalls that when he had a fight with Freya at the supermarket the other day, they had made a black-and-white deal in front of security. The first quarrel was clearly caused by Freya, so if there was another fight, Abrine could sue if Freya was guilty first, because there is evidence of CCTV belonging to the supermarket and security who became a witness when Freya slapped Abrine at that time.

"If he sues me later, I will show proof that he first lured me today, in the cafe there must be CCTV as well. After all, I have the right to defend myself from his actions that oppress me."

Who doesn't know Abrine's visuals yet, I love you....
