The Painful Love Story

Chapter 69

"Wear this!" Devan thrusts a jacket in front of Ellina.

Ellina who was shivering coldly because her clothes were also drenched in the rain stared at the jacket and Devan's face alternately with a watchful look. Both are currently in Devan's car.

At first Ellina wanted to reject Devan's invitation to get into the man's car because she did not want the incident a few months ago where Zean caught those who accidentally met in the city park and even ended up misunderstanding again reenacted.

But after thinking long and convincing himself that Zean could not find it, eventually Ellina was forced to accept Devan's offer.

Yeah forced, though, given the current atmosphere of the park is so quiet and absolutely no public vehicles passing due to heavy rain that still hit until Ellina had no choice but to ride on a car Devan hoped men it's gonna take her to her best friend Tiara's.

Seeing Ellina who was just silent while looking at him suspiciously, Devan could not hide the ironic smile he was licking.

"Please don't look at me like that Miss Ellina! Do you think I look like a criminal?"

Ellina gulped her saliva hard while turning her face the other way. Feeling bad about his attitude that had accidentally offended the man. Devan was kind enough to offer her a ride.

Yes, although he knows how bad Devan's relationship with Zean is, Devan has no direct problems with him. His job is just to be vigilant without having to be hostile.

"Ma-sorry." Finally only one word that Ellina was able to say to save her embarrassment in front of Devan.

Devan smiled widely, feeling anxious with Ellina's attitude that looked wrong.

But behind his smile, Devan felt sure that Zean must have told all the problems between them to Ellina seeing from the attitude of this woman who was not friendly at the beginning of the encounter and also seemed to keep a distance from her.

"It's okay. Now take it and put it on! At least this jacket can help you a little to reduce the cold from the outside."

Ellina turned her head back towards Devan, but her expression still seemed doubtful.

"If I wear your jacket, what do you wear? While your clothes are also wet." asked Ellina behind her teeth that were grinding to hold back the cold.

Devan smiled again. There was a sense of harrum thrusting into the recesses of his heart when it received a little attention from the woman he loved in silence.

"No need to worry about me. All this time I've been used to holding back the cold. In fact, you could say the cold had penetrated into here to form an ice before finally gradually melting because it was touched by someone's tenderness." devan said as he held onto his left chest and looked at Ellina.

For a moment the two looked at each other in silence. But a split second later Ellina immediately cleared her throat neutralizing the atmosphere that began to feel awkward for her.

"I'll wear it, thanks!" ellina interrupted their conversation. The woman took the jacket from Devan's hand and put it on in front of her body.

"Sorry!" suddenly Devan spoke again making Ellina suddenly turned back to look at the man and looked at him in confusion.

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry I got you in trouble that day and couldn't help you. I really didn't know you were a wife..."

"It's okay! No need to discuss. I've forgotten it." cut Ellina fast. Right now he really doesn't want to talk about anything about Zean.

Because the bad memories of that day where she almost miscarried still imprint her heart coupled with the betrayal that Zean had just committed against her.

Seeing Ellina's expression that seemed to hold back the sadness there, Devan finally chose not to bring up the matter.

"Alright, then now I'll take you home."

"I don't want to go home!" once again Ellina cut Devan's words.

"What?" this time it was Devan who was staring at Ellina in confusion.

"Ehm... I mean, I, I was waiting for my sister at this park, we had an appointment to meet but after a long wait she didn't come either. And I was worried about him because his phone couldn't be reached, so .. Can you take me to his place?" Ellina is forced to lie because she doesn't want to until Devan finds out her problem with Zean.

"But you're cold Ellina. All your clothes are wet. How about you later..."

"I can borrow my sister's clothes! He would have loaned it to me. Please take me to his place. But if you can't be okay. I'm gonna get out of here and wait for a cab." Ellina broke up and made Devan sigh heavily.

"It turns out you're so stubborn. But I'll take you to your sister's place!" answer Devan.

Ellina smiled knot.

"Thank you again."

Devan nodded as he returned Ellina's smile.

"Yes, you're welcome."

Devan opened the seat belt and turned to Ellina. Looks like the woman next to him was sleeping fast to make Devan can not bear to not smile.

Then Devan moved his body closer to Ellina. Stare at the beautiful woman who had stolen his heart was clingy and Devan just realized that Ellina's face looked swollen.

Did she cry?

Slowly Devan stretched out his hand about to rub Ellina's cheek. But he did not want to make Ellina angry and branded him as a brash man. Until finally Devan retracted his hand and sat in his place again.

"Ellina, we've arrived!" devan tried to wake Ellina up. However, Devan's call did not get a response from Ellina.

Even up to the third time Devan called out in a slightly loud voice Ellina did not open her eyes. Finally the man touched Ellina's shoulder and shook her slowly.

"Allen! Ellina! Wake up we're there." call Devan.

But the result was that Ellina did not wake up. Devan also ventured to touch the back of his hand to Ellina's cheek but a second later the net widened when he felt his skin burning.

"God! Why is his body so hot!" peekik Devan was shocked. He rolled his arm around the woman's forehead to check and Devan realized that Ellina had a fever.

"I need to get her to the doctor!"

As fast as lightning Devan reassembled his seat belt and soon passed leaving Tiara's place.

"How's Doc doing?" devan asked worriedly.

Instead of calling the doctor, Devan did not take Ellina to the hospital but took her to his private apartment.

Now the man had changed clothes so much with Ellina who was currently lying unconscious on the bed.

"There's nothing to worry about, your wife is just a normal fever. It looks like he is exhausted and sleep-deprived to make his endurance decreased and susceptible to viruses. Especially when your wife is pregnant. I will prescribe a fever-lowering medication that is safe for him. As soon as he regained consciousness, take the medicine to him." explained the doctor at length.

Devan nodded without wanting to argue. In my heart there is a sense of pleasure when doctors refer to Ellina as his wife.

"Okay doc, I understand. Thanks!"

After the departure of the doctor without wasting time Devan immediately told the waiter who always cleaned his apartment to make up for the drugs in the pharmacy.

Devan and Ellina are both in the room. Devan sat on the bed while compressing Ellina painstakingly.

"If you were really my wife, I'd rather take care of you in this state of Ellina."

Devan pushed his thumb gently rubbed Ellina's face and then somehow the encouragement from where the man intended to kiss Ellina's lips tightly clenched.

Damnit damnit! You're a real bastard Devan! You shouldn't steal a chance when he's helpless like this!

Devan immediately distanced himself from Ellina while rubbing a rough face. The man got up from the bed and intended to leave the room to calm down.

But just a step Devan walked suddenly his ears heard sobs from Ellina's lips until her reflexes turned and looked at the woman.

"Why did you betray me Zean?! Why?!" Ellina muttered softly with the blind closed. Even her tears just flowed in both corners of her eyes.

Hearing Ellina delirious like that, the instant Devan's body froze.

Whatdoes thatmean??

Just as Devan was about to try to calm the woman down, the sudden ringing of the cell phone from Ellina's bag tucked away on the nightstand distracted her.

Devan stared at Ellina's bag and face in turn. Then hesitantly he opened Ellina's bag and took her phone. Looks like the caller's id is perched there with the name 'my husband' which is definitely Zean.

Devan smiled cynically. Then without hesitation he picked up the phone from the man who was his rival.

"Hello! Good afternoon Mr Zean! Is there anything I can help you with?"
