Uncle's Savings Lover

Section 42

Elena's body lay with an oxygen hose attached to her nose. An infusion needle pierced on the veins that were visible protruding on the back of his hand. The pale face and dry lips were clearly visible from Elena's current self.

"You're pregnant and I didn't know it! I'm too stupid."

"I'm just thinking about my ego."

"I'm sorry I killed him" Nathan gripped Elena's hand as he occasionally kissed the back of the girl's hand.

A soft mutter rang out from Nathan's mouth that laid his head beside Elena's still-settling body closing his eyes. Nathan took a deep breath and stood up as the door opened. Leo appeared while carrying important documents in his hands.

"Good day, sir! I need your consent by signing this document" Leo said.

"Why don't you just tell Eveline. I'm lazy to take care of the company." Nathan replied flatly.

"Miss Eveline is not in place. He has been to Germany for a few days. Were you not told?"

Nathan let out a rough breath while shaking slowly. "Alright, get me the documents."

After receiving a black map from Leo, Nathan skimmed through the paper. For quite a long time Nathan focused his vision on the writing that is lined up very long. Until finally Nathan's fingers grasped a pen and inscribed his signature there.

"I signed it. I leave all the company's business to you." Nathan said.

"Good, Sir!"

After Leo left Nathan sat himself in a wooden chair in the corner of the room. Nathan massaged his forehead with a tired-looking body.

Elena's eyelashes started to move slowly. It seems the girl is starting to wake up. A soft ringing sounded from Elena's mouth. Nathan stood up and ran over to Elena. Nathan stood half-bending beside the bed.

"What do you feel? Which part hurts?" Nathan's anxiety began to rise.

"My stomach hurts, Nath!" cetus Elena. Elena closed her eyes with a ringing that added to Nathan's worries.

"Hold a minute. The doctor will be here soon to check on you" Nathan said after pressing a button directly connected to the doctor's office.

While Elena examined Nathan chose to stand near the wall covered in thick glass.

Nathan was observing the female doctor who was talking to Elena. A smile rose on Elena's lips. I don't know what they just talked about but Nathan loves that smile. In the depths of his heart Nathan felt pain as if he could imagine the reaction Elena would show if he knew she had just miscarried. His heart left him. Nathan wouldn't be able to see that.

The room was quiet again after the doctor left. Elena turned her head towards Nathan who was standing tensely. Elena saw the fragility from the look in Nathan's eyes that looked cute.

"Nathan..." Elena's voice was just like a mutter.

"Stay lying!" nathan shouted half.

"I why?" ask Elena raucously.

"Although this fact will hurt you you deserve to know. I don't want this to be a problem for us in the future. You'll be devastated but I'll be by your side to always strengthen you." Nathan's mind in the midst of his daydreams.

Nathan's requested VVIP inpatient room provides its own comfort for patients and those who wait for it. The room was more like a hotel room. Not boring. The bed Elena slept in had a large size, fit to accommodate three people at once.

Nathan was still standing by the glass wall. The man hid the anxiety behind his flat face. He was still thinking about what kind of words he would say to Elena right now. Nathan was eager to tell the bad news but hesitated.

"Nathan, what happened to me? Why was it yesterday that I could bleed that much." asked Elena. He felt when the doctor did not want to answer his question.

Nathan took a heavy step towards the bed. "It's okay, baby."

"Please promise me you won't hate me" Nathan said.

Elena looked at Nathan's angry face. He was confused by Nathan's attitude that looked full of regret. "What do you mean?"

"Our son-in-law is gone" Nathan replied in pain.

"A-i'm pregnant?" Elena looked at Nathan. A single tear fell from Elena's eye. His heart was like being squeezed to hear Nathan's answer that he never thought.

"That's what the doctor said. If only I hadn't forced a will maybe right now he'd still be growing in your stomach. The more days he will develop so that your stomach bulges and when the time has come he will be born into the world to meet us, but because I'm all just wishful thinking." Nathan's eyes began to tear. His eyes have turned red. The tightened chest made Nathan grip the edge of the blanket Elena used.

Elena just stared blankly without greeting Nathan's words. The news he just heard hit his soul hard. Elena also cursed at his stupidity just like Nathan. She thinks she doesn't deserve to be called a mother-to-be because she can't feel life in her stomach. He felt stupid and insensitive.

"Dear, I'm sorry!" nathan.

Elena looked to the side. Looking at Nathan with a serious look. "What's wrong with you? You were rude before and treated me as you pleased. You vented all your frustration on me. You too shamelessly destroy another's marriage without the slightest guilt. I never understood your way of thinking, Uncle." Elena said without giving any expression.

"Where might I let my wife remarry." Nathan pressured.

"I've never married anyone! You don't make it up!" elena protest.

"YOU'RE MY WIFE, ELENA!" nathan said with a bang.

"SINCE WHEN?!" elena's reply wasn't losing out hard. Elena was fed up with Nathan's attitude. The emotions that started to flare up made Elena forget her still weak condition.

Nathan caught his breath for a while. His emotions began to stir. If not immediately silenced maybe he can do riot.

"When, Nathan?" asked Elena again in a quieter voice.

"Since we've been in the villa."

Elena began to remember the moment in the villa at that time. But nothing special. "At that time there was no blessing event like a wedding in general."

"Indeed. But you signed our marriage documents when Leo asked for your signature on the grounds that you wanted to take care of your blocked debit and credit cards" Nathan explained.

"That's not legal. You're the same as tricking me."

"A hundred percent legal" Nathan said firmly, "I'm sorry I did you good because I wanted to teach you a lesson. I'm hurt because you prefer that guy."

Elena looked at Nathan lazily. "He's hurt more because you took his future wife forcibly."

"Don't make me more frustrated, Elena." Nathan paused his words.

"Till my head would break because of that." continued Nathan who clenched both hands.

"One more time, I'm sorry!" Nathan chose to leave. He avoids debates that may not have an end.
