The Sovereign of the Heart (Bern & Renata)

Chapter 20

Uh, what are they doing here? Not stepwise?

Feeling thirsty, just four o'clock in the morning Bern woke up. Bern then frowned confused when he found two people sleeping on the sofa room. Shortly after that he hissed softly as his head throbbed in pain as it was about to wake up.

"Infusion?" Bern muttered softly. Wonder. "When was this infusion placed on my hand? What's going on?"

While continuing to wonder, Bern circulated his gaze around the room. He then let out a long sigh as he knew who had put the infusion in his hand. Unwilling to disturb the rest of Andreas and Russell, Bern very carefully stepped down from the bed. He then brought an infusion with him as he was about to come out of the room.

"Did I have a fever last night? That's why Andreas called Russell here" Bern said as he walked into the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator, pulled out the drinking water then placed it on the table. Afterwards Bern again hissed as the pulsation grew stronger. Unwilling to force himself, he chose to sit for a while before walking back to pick up the glass.

A Bern Wufien Ma, the eldest son of the Ma family, looks very sad where there is no servant who accompanies when sick. Miris. However, all that can happen because of Bern's own will. Since moving abroad, Bern has never wanted to know anyone. His days are spent alone remembering his memories with Amora. Whether it was sick, hungry, or even fainting, Bern held it alone. He once believed in someone, but that person let him down to bone. That's why Bern can no longer trust anyone, except Andreas and Cio. Only these two people were able to knock his heart out. Impressed selfish indeed. But if you're in Bern's position, can you still trust the closest person you used to think of as the most trustworthy? Bern thinks not.

"Strong Bern, don't be weak. You must be able to get through this pain like you were before. Okay?" bern said encouraging himself. Then he got up and took a glass. Since his thirst had already disappeared after sipping two glasses of cold water, Bern decided to go back to the room again. He needed a lot of rest so that his body could recover soon.

Meanwhile at the Goh family residence, Renata who was sleeping was vaguely like hearing a soft moaning sound. He opened his eyes to see whose voice it was.

Is Justin awake? Very morning.

But as soon as Renata opened her eyes, how surprised she was to see her son shivering violently. Immediately he attached the back of his hand to measure the temperature in Justin's body.

"Awhh, it's hot. You have a fever, baby!" renata's cry was shocked as soon as the skin of his hand stuck to Justin's forehead.

Because it is always on standby, Renata immediately got up from the bed and then took a heat gauge that is always stored in the desk drawer. Hurriedly he put the tool in Justin's armpit then waited for the results for a while.

"Well, thirty-nine degrees? Oh, my God, why is the heat so high. Wasn't Justin okay? Why so suddenly?" shocked Renata. His eyes widened so much in shock he saw the number that appeared inside the heat gauge.

"Ummm, hot," ....

Justin delirious. His lips seemed to tremble due to his body temperature that was too high. Renata who saw it could only be silent sadly. Not a month has Justin healed, now his son is sick again. Justin is going to have a birthday soon. His weight must have reduced a lot because too often fever like this.

"Is it possible that she was exhausted after playing at the flower shop huh? That's why he's getting this fever right now" Renata murmured so guiltily that he remembered that Justin was running around this afternoon at the flower shop. "But at home Justin is very active. Is she sick because of this?"

Renata did not know that in other places there was a man who was also sick. It's possible that Justin is sick because he knows that part of his life is not okay. Might as well.

"Son, get well soon. I'm so sad to see you sick like this. I promise you that after you recover, I'll take you back for a walk. Okay?" said Renata with teary eyes.

As hard as Renata tried to calm down, still this heart could not lie. She was afraid her son was worried. Renata then remembered that the last few days Justin always asked about his father. He thought about whether his son might be sick because he wanted to see his father too much or how. But even if this assumption is true, where should Renata find the father figure wanted by Justin? Last night he had to make a fuss all over the house when he wanted to remember something in the past, yes he had to make other people bother again to be able to know who Justin's father really was. It's not funny.

"Am I married? But with whom? My status is unclear, neither is a girl nor is she a widow. I've never been married, but I already have a child. All men will definitely think repeatedly if they want to marry a woman who is not clear like me," Renata said. So sad. Because of the loss of Renata's memory to not dare to establish a relationship with any man. She knew enough herself by her status, so always felt fear whenever there was a man who wanted to get close.

"Do I ask Bern to marry me. He said my face looks like his girlfriend's. Think of marriage as something that can be mutually beneficial. He can think of me as his girlfriend, then I can give Justin a father figure. But does he want to?"

Renata shook his head to and fro to brush off his increasingly stretched thoughts. I don't know what the wind is that makes it think in that direction. If Bern had heard his words just now, he would have laughed at him and called himself a shameless woman. Oh gosh.

"What the fuck am I. How could I have thought of marrying Bern. I think I'm crazy. Yes, I'm crazy!" said Renata condemns his own stupidity that has thought of origin. Hihh.
