THE DOCTOR'S LOVE TRAP

90. Death news

In the middle of a cold night, accompanied by heavy rain. Claire curled up in fear. He was still in the old house near the forest.

Maybe this place is safe for his runaway mission. But this place just makes him feel lonely and alone. It erodes the sense of courage that exists within him.

At times like that, he just doesn't want to sleep.

When he woke up, all he saw in front of him was darkness.

Several times he accidentally fell asleep because he was tired and sleepy, but it actually made him have nightmares.

The shadows of his crimes, keep spinning in the dream and haunt him. The shadow was like a flash of a documentary that kept her sanity thinning and completely dysfunctional.

Even in sleep, he did not find peace. That's what caused him not to want to sleep before.

El's smile also haunted him. Not a smile as sweet as he used to see in the real world. But, the man's smile looked like a hateful smile.

When Claire regained her senses from her sleep, she was shocked by the thunderous lightning. Lightning light snatched. Although the glint can give a light effect for him in the old house, but still it makes him afraid.

Not long after, Claire actually felt afraid of herself. I don't know why.

Claire stood up, surprised that she suddenly saw a figure coming towards her.

The figure grinned at him. Claire realized that what she was seeing right now was a shadow of herself.

Whether real or her subconscious is stimulating her to retreat, Claire complies and actually retreats slowly. Meanwhile, the figure who was sneering--without any difference-is progressively stepping closer to him.

Claire fear. Although the figure resembled him but he felt very scared. No doubt, he was afraid of himself.

"You want what, you?" Claire voices. The madness began to. Somehow he could actually see this figure who was sneering at him very clearly. Even though there is a room in pitch-black conditions.

"Claire, you're a murderer!" said a figure similar to him.

"No, no, I didn't mean it." Claire clasped her own head, she shook her head loudly while denying the accusations she heard.

"You're a killer!"

"No!" refuted again.

"Why don't you just die?"

"No, I still want to live!"

"Death to you, Claire! You deserve that."

"No.. no...." Claire was crying in fear. He was walking backwards because in his vision, a figure similar to him was - coming forward and he became confused himself.

"Don't come any closer! What do you want?" claire's reluctance while putting up a wave of misgivings.

"I'll kill you! Before you kill anyone else again."

"No, I didn't kill anyone!"

"You have the heart, Claire! Even the man you love has been killed. Don't you want to catch up with him?"

"really? Is Elrich dead?" Now Claire is looking.

"Yes, so follow him!"

When Claire heard that, her retreated footsteps seemed to have no footing. He slipped and fell at the same time.

Claire fell to the ground floor of the old building, making a strong enough sound because her body weight had just hit the damp and wet ground there. His head was bleeding. Same with his ears.

On the eve of her death, Claire saw a figure similar to her laughing out loud. Claire's body fluttered, like a fish raised ashore without being given any water at all. At that moment, he found it difficult to breathe. His throat felt very tight. If he could scream for sure the sound of his screams had broken the silence of the forest and defeated the sound of the rain.

Claire died with both eyes open.

"Claire's dead. He was found dead in the woods near the old house that was there."

Kristy's words stunned Abrine. Because the news was accidentally he heard this morning through the television channel. Previously, Abrine did not think that the body found was Claire, but Kristy's speech that visited him this afternoon has become an answer.

The body found in the woods by a mushroom seeker was autopsied and it's true she's Claire. Allegedly while the woman fell from the 2nd floor of the old building. Also because there are no other signs of violence on his body.

Kristy sniffs her shoulders indifferently. "Yes, or maybe he killed himself on purpose" he said.

"There is no point in him living anymore" Galvin said. His words sounded so heartfelt and outspoken.

"You're not going to the funeral home, honey?" ask Kristy, more sound mocked her lover.

"I'm not interested." Galvin clucked at the end of his sentence.

"Who knows you'd like to pay your last respects to-"

"He's not worthy of respect" Galvin cut as fast as lightning to make Kristy gape.

"You used to love him. Go!" kristy's words now sound more human than ever.

Galvin shakes. "Even if I can walk. I'm not going to visit his grave."

Abrine just sighed softly. Either he should be happy or sad to hear the news of Claire's death. But honestly he did not deny that this made him relieved.

At the very least, he and El had already escaped the shackles of a woman named Claire who was extremely terrifying.

El had been treated in a hospital room different from the city where he lived.

He was given the best treatment and gradually began to recover. When El regained consciousness, he looked like he was looking for something but he didn't say a word to ask.

There, El can only see the figures of Theresia and Xander. He did not meet with Aarav or Nev who had seen the situation because when the Abrine family visited, El was in a state of sleep and rest.

"What do you need, El?" ask Theresa patiently.

El just shook his head weakly. His face still looks pale.

"Did you miss your wife?" ask Theresia understanding.

El was silent.

"Sister-in-law and your in-laws came back here to see how you are doing. But they just left town because there was some business."

".... Grandma let them, El. Your condition is starting to improve anyway."

Elrich didn't say a word. He just stared at his grandmother's figure.

"Is there anything you want to ask?" asked Theresia but Elrich shook his head slowly.

"Alright, grandma will have Xander accompany you here. He happened to come with his wife. Grandma's out first, El."

Elrich nodded slowly while sighing deeply.

Xander and Yemima break into the ward where Elrich is.

"You've recovered?" ask Xander.

Since the first El was brought to this hospital, only today Xander can see El sitting upright. Yesterday El was still in the ICU room even though Xander also had heard that El had regained consciousness, but now El has moved to the treatment room

"Hi, El. How are you today?" ask Yemima kindly.

"Me, fine." Finally El made a sound. He asked Yemima a question.

"Abrine must be glad you're conscious. Are you gonna make a call with him?" hail Yemima cheerfully.

"No, no" refused El.

"Why?" Yemima and Xander looked at each other in astonishment.
