The Painful Love Story

Chapter 59

Ellina sat herself in the bed. His face did not change, still looking annoyed that Zean did not believe him. Does her husband think she is a cheap woman who easily runs away with other men?

Gee whiz...

Unknowingly the clear circle burst out at both corners of Ellina's eyes. The woman immediately wiped him and inhaled oxygen to win herself over. He glanced at the door, but there was no sign that Zean would come in after him.

Didn't that man feel guilty? He should have come, apologized and seduced her, right?

Oh no Ellina! What are you thinking?!

With reflex Ellina tapped softly on her temple. How could he think so. She is not a labil teenage girl who if being sulking wants to be seduced.

But in reality an angry woman would want to be persuaded and given understanding with soft and soothing sentences spoken from the mouth of her partner, right? Especially now that she is pregnant which makes her want more attention.

Ellina sighed softly.

After a while struggling with all the thoughts in her head, Ellina finally decided to wait.

He stayed in the room long enough. Passing second by second in hopes that Zean will meet her, but curiosity about what her husband is doing out there beats his ego.

Ellina got out of bed feeling annoyed many times over.

Slowly Ellina turned the door knob. He opened the door a little and then secretly peeked.

No trace of life in the middle room. Everything seems quiet. Ellina opened the door in front of her and she stepped out.

His vision spread throughout the room. And immediately fear began to surround himself when he realized that at this time he was only alone in the apartment.

Did Zean leave and lock her up again? No. no! Didn't that man promise that he wouldn't do that to her again?!

Impulsively Ellina immediately ran towards the main door and opened it. The door opened to make Ellina fixated and she soon heaved a sigh of relief. Zean kept his promise.

Where did that man go? Why not tell him?!

Ellina again closed the door still with annoyance at him. He promised that when Zean came home he would teach a lesson by silencing the man.

"Is anyone hurt?" asked Zean with a worried tone. His expression was filled with tremendous panic.

When the hospital where Lyora was being treated reported that the woman had just fallen from the cage while trying to reach the bathroom, Zean immediately darted away to the hospital without a chance to say goodbye to Ellina.

"none. I'm doing fine. Sorry for worrying you and bothering to come here" said Lyora with a bad feeling because it made the man in front of her panic.

"I've asked the nurse not to call you, but she said that there must be one of the family who takes care of me, so that when I need urgent help and the guard sisters are busy I can rely on the family. But you know it's not me alone. So impulsively in the midst of my confusion, I gave your mobile number to the hospital." she continued softly.

Zean looked pensive. He looked at Lyora's pale face before he finally answered later.

"From now on, consider me your family."

Zean's sentence clearly caught Lyora's attention. The woman looked at Zean with a confused frown.

"You mean?"

"I'll make amends for my grandfather by looking after you Lyora. You can count on me if you need help. Whenever it is." replied Zean with a serious expression like a promise.

"Enough Zean! I'm full." said Lyora, smothering her mouth.

"No Zean. I beg! Don't force me!"

Zean took a long breath. Then looked at Lyora with a vexed feeling.

"Alright I won't force you." Zean put the bowl of porridge on the table next to the cage.

"Drink first, half an hour later take your medicine." Zean thrust a glass of white water before Lyora. Lyora grabbed the glass and drank the contents and after she finished returned it to Zean.

"Thank you."

Zean nodded slowly while putting the glass on the table.

"Oh yeah, how's Ellina? Does he know that you're accompanying me here?" ask Lyora curiously.

Deg.

Zean gasped at Lyora's question.

"You know my wife's name?" Zean asked back, as he remembered he had never told Lyora his wife's name.

Lyora smiled faintly.

"Yes, I know your wife's name because one week before you were married we had met. She was with Zyl at the time, and Zyl introduced Ellina as your future wife." explains Lyora, recalling the harsh reality.

"Oh so it seems." replied Zean indifferently.

"So? Does Ellina know that you're accompanying me here?" Lyora repeated her question with an urgent tone.

Zean looked at Lyora fixedly before he finally answered later.

"No. He doesn't know. And I don't want him to know."

Lyora's forehead wrinkled, staring at Zean question markingly.

"Why?" ask Lyora.

"I just want to keep the feeling. Ellina knows that we've had a relationship before. And I don't want him to misunderstand me knowing I'm with you here. Especially now that she is pregnant. As a fellow woman you probably know a little bit more if the hormones of pregnant women are so volatile." explains Zean.

Zean's words were long, unknowingly making a spark of jealousy in Lyora's heart. The woman squeezed the side of the bed sheet to withstand the upheaval of her soul.

Zean thought so much about Ellina's feelings. And just now Zean said what? Ellina is pregnant? That means.that means the assumption is true that Zean apparently loves Ellina. If this is automatically the way to get back the man he loves will be extinct. Because Lyora knows that Zean is a typical loyal man.

No. This can't happen! Zean is just his! And he would do everything in his power to make the man turn to her! Including the sneaky ways that he used this afternoon.

Yeah, actually Lyora didn't really fall. All that was just his design so that Zean would come to the hospital and leave Ellina.

He deliberately asked the sisters to contact Zean with the lure of a payment. Because he could not contact Zean directly because in addition to his mobile number was still blocked by the man he also did not bring his phone.

After all Lyora did not want to humble herself by begging for attention to Zean. He just needed to make Zean continue to feel guilty for his grandfather's actions, and so gradually Zean would fall into his arms.

Thinking of all of his plans, slowly Lyora's fist that was squeezing the bedsheet unraveled. His net was lit up by a lightning of strong determination.

Then like an angel-faced demon, Lyora smiled gently in response to Zean's words.

"Yes, you're right. It would be best if Ellina didn't know that you were with me. It would definitely be very disturbing to his mind." he replied meaningfully veiled.
