Long silent, watching the beautiful girl who did not groan in pain, Halbert remained reluctant to stay away. His hand was even still in the same position— held back so that blood did not come out more.
" I won't go, if I don't want to go to the hospital, then let me wait for your pick-up to come." cried Halbert after a long silence.
" I don't know who you are, I don't know your name. I don't know where you are, but I like you." Halbert said with a sad face.
The woman did not budge, choosing to lock her mouth.
" I liked you the first time I saw you in the airport." added Halbert.
" I don't need your love. I just need to keep you safe all my life" said the girl who slowly lost consciousness.
Realizing the critical condition of the girl in front of him, Halbert was immediately made to panic. He tried to wake the girl, but got no response. But before long, after a few seconds two men in hats and wearing masks, entered the room.
" Go away" said one of the men.
" Who are you, what are you waiting for?" Halbert did not shift from his position and instead threw a question.
" I said step aside, he could die if you get in the way."
Hearing the words of the man by his side, Halbert immediately moved. He let one of the men carry the weak body of the foreign girl. But without realizing it, one man suddenly smothered Halbert's mouth with a handkerchief that had been drugged.
Halbert immediately drooped weakly for less than a second. He collapsed on the floor with a blurry view. Unable to move and just watched the two men pass by carrying the beautiful girl.

One day later~ Murray's Residence.
Mama Allen and Papa Harvey and Ainsley and Alexa were always loyal to accompany Halbert.
" Ma, why hasn't Halbert woke up yet." Alexa began to fret at the condition of her brother.
" Patience Dear. Remember the doctor said, your sister could be exhausted that's why she hasn't woken up" Mama Allen said gently.
Shortly after Mama Allen said, Halnert's fingers moved and his forehead frowned. His eyes were still closed, but his body moved as if he saw something in his subconscious.
" No. no. don't go." said Halbert, who closed his eyes.
Sontak Papa and Mama and her two sisters were confused.
" Halbert, son. Don't scare us." Mama Allen was so anxious that Halbert's eyelids were soon open.
" Where am I?" halbert asked while getting up from his bed. He held his head which felt heavy and throbbing violently.
" It's in your room, baby." replied Mama Allen—, glad to see her son awake.
" What's going on, Halbert? Why did you pass out in court?" Papa Harvey who since yesterday kept his curiosity can no longer hold back until immediately asked his eldest son.
" I don't know, I don't remember. I only remember coming out of the courtroom." Halbert replied feeling strange— as if some memory had been lost.
He then raised his gaze, and just as he saw Alexa shed tears, Halbert immediately knitted his eyebrows together.
" What's wrong with you?" halbert asked with his face flat.
" I'm afraid something's going on with my sister." Alexa's tears broke, she went straight up to the bed and hugged her brother tightly.
