Elizabeth was struck by the smell of chlorine piercing her nose. A hose filled with colorless medicinal liquid flowed slowly into the veins of his hands, flowing drop by drop. His head felt heavy, the wounds all over his body telling the pain to stab into the bone. White dominated the room, she fell asleep on top of a narrow gurney, next to her was a small, pale-white nightstand. On the nightstand there is water and some medicine that is still wrapped neatly.
The lights are brightly lit, the air conditioner is on at moderate temperature.
Elizabeth still vividly remembered the last incident, Roberto crazily beat her, spewing fresh blood from her mouth and nose together. But it's better to end up like this lying helpless, than to end up being a full-nosed male lust. Elizabeth's position is simply not willing to humble herself just for the sake of money. His current goal is to save his son and brother, especially now that the mysterious man has also captured his best friend.
"Water..." There is no truth at all, because there is no one else in the room but Elizabeth. Her lips were dry and pale. His throat was choked even to gulp down he felt difficulty.
The sound of women's shoes approached her treatment room. And the door was pushed in. A very beautiful doctor, just tall stature and looks like a male body.
The beautiful doctor smiled at Elizabeth, her smile looking soothing to anyone who saw her.
"Aware yet? What thirst?"
The doctor thrust a glass filled with water, helping Elizabeth to drink it. Elizabeth raised her head slightly with the help of doctor Noela.
Elizabeth pinched the clothes she was wearing, they were not the clothes she had worn before.
"Why? It doesn't matter, it's my clothes, you can borrow it. Two days ago you were taken to the hospital in an unconscious state and not wearing proper clothes."
Elizabeth was embarrassed, feeling like she didn't know the woman in front of her, and this was her first time seeing her. But the woman was good to her
"Include me, Doctor Noela. You can call me anything. If anyone is sick, just tell me. I'll treat it. But your wound is quite severe, so for a while you can rest."
Noela helped a nurse clean Elizabeth's wound, gave her antibiotics and changed the bandage. Long enough to both grapple with the wounds that were all over Elizabeth's body, treat them one by one. After the nurse left Noela alone with Elizabeth.
The shadow of physical violence experienced by Elizabeth is still imprinted. Fear and Depression twice. His mouth was locked, his brain frozen. His eyes guerrillaously looked at the movements of Doctor Noela.
"You're beautiful, it's worth Kendrick loving you so much." When calling Kendrick name Noela's face looks different, it is also realized by Elizabeth.
Hearing Noela mention Kendrick's name, Elizabeth was a little frightened. The man she once loved with all her heart now turned into a monster. The monster who willingly threw the woman he once loved into a monthly month of perverted men.
Noela checked the infusion bag and hose to make sure that the liquid can flow smoothly. His hands move frisky.
"Kendrick's a good guy, he's my best friend. I know him better than you."
Elizabeth helped clean the wet corners of Elizabeth's eyes. Using a paper cloth and after that he pulled the chair that was beside the gurney.
Noela sat down next to Elizabeth. Trying to get along.
Elizabeth doesn't know what purpose is behind Noela's kindness to her. For sure, at this time Noela has made Elizabeth's heart comfortable and trusting.
"Kendrick's changed since you betrayed him. Why did you kill your mother? Kendrick's been hurt"
Elizabeth shook her head. He wanted to answer the word 'I'm not the culprit' But his lips were locked. Kendrick's previous assumption of anger at him because he had betrayed was not that simple.
Unfortunately, it happened when he was severely depressed.
"Are you hungry? Two days you're unconscious."
Noela was seen several times fishing for conversation. Elizabeth remained silent.
From his expression and gestures can be felt by Elizabeth if in fact Noela is a good doctor.
"He's a good man."
"I... I'm not Elizabeth. My name is Eliz."
"You don't have to be evasive, even I know you as well as Kendrick, when you're being abused, I'm the one who helped you. And may I know how you got those gunshot wounds?"
Noela looked at Elizabeth's face, a short question but Elizabeth's face signified disbelief in her.
"I just want to be alone." Elizabeth Irent.
"Thank you doctor. Can I ask for help? My phone.."
"Call Noe, I'll have someone bring you some porridge. You're hungry, aren't you?"
Elizabeth nodded her head. Noela opened the nightstand drawer and pulled the phone inside. Give the phone to Elizabeth.
Thanks." Thanks." Elizabeth said to Noela, and replied with a smile.
Just now that the phone was within his grasp, a notification came into his phone.
Phone up! Didn't the woman's doctor leave?
Elizabeth turns her head back, looking for who the mysterious man she always loved, even dominating Elizabeth and her closest people. How could the mysterious man know that Noela just left her room. Did the mysterious man hijack the CCTV?
The phone rang, Elizabeth hurriedly shifted the green button.
"Hallo."
"Hmmm. How are you doing? Still alive?"
The mysterious man's words were extremely harsh and frightening.
"As you can see. Aren't you spying on me?"
"Haha. You are clever."
"It's not wrong that I was spying on you. Even when you were Roberte's monthly moons at D'Oreon's club, I was there too, watching you sprawl."
Elizabeth just fell silent, squeezing the phone hard. His hands were sweating coldly. If the mysterious man was at the scene, among the men who saw him being harassed, who among them would be? Elizabeth guesses nebak, but for free nothing is worth suspecting
"If you know and even you're in a room with me, why don't you help me? Don't you regret that if I were to die, nothing would help you accomplish your goal!"
"Don't dream, if you die there are still many ways to get people to finish my business. And if two days ago you died, what about your son? Surely you don't want Nina I'll sell at Club D'Oreon later?"
Elizabeth wanted to cry and scream as loudly as she could. But he realized what he was doing was free.
"So you have to keep living, if you want Nina to be okay."
"Until when do I stay at the D'Oreon club?"
"Don't hunt. First you have to get Kendrick's love back, then you act. And one more thing you can't fall in love with her. Understood?"
"Tell me what to do?"
"Why not patient?"
"How can a mother be patient if her child's life is made a bet?" Elizabeth said a little.
"I'm happy with your words, obviously you're different from your mama when you treat yourself. Really no? Haha."
The sentence so pierced Elizabeth's heart, she hated her mother to the bone.
"But at least let me meet Nina, just for a second."
"Not for now. But out of my generosity, I'll send you a picture of Nina."
Not yet had Elizabeth filed a sentence of protest, the mysterious man had hung up his phone without saying hello. Shortly after a notification came in, even the notification sounded more than once.
Trying to stay true to my novel.😘😘😘
