VENGEFUL SHACKLES

A lousy husband

"What's up here, Pau?" Adam suddenly stood in front of Paula and Joshep.

"Why can't Doctor Smith see me? And why are your eyes so swollen, did you just cry? Any issues?" Adam continued to flank Paula with a lot of questions.

"What is this doctor? Why isn't one of you two going to explain what happened to me?" The man who was just ordinary and simple-looking looked at Paula and Joshep alternately, waiting for answers from the two people who were in front of him.

"There's nothing, brother, let's go back to Kevin's room!" Paula pulls Adam's arm away from Joshep's practice room.

"I want to talk to Doctor Smith about the condition of my beloved son!" Said Adam straightforwardly.

Instantly Adam's eyes collided and collided with Joshep who was also staring intently at him, like there was a negative aura that enveloped between the two.

The two of them had just met each other and had only just gotten to know each other, but their gazes were full of dislike for reasons that only they themselves knew.

"You go with Kevin first, I'll talk to Doctor Smith." Adam said as he shook his hand a sign of expelling Paula to leave her alone with Joshep there.

"But" Paula had just opened her mouth to protest Adam, but the man immediately put his index finger on Paula's lips.

"Ssttt,,, believe me. According to!" Said Adam slowly, but even though it sounded slow, his words did not stop Paula according to her very obedience.

Joshep threw away his face and moved his gaze when Adam touched Paula's red lips that he had just enjoyed, there was a sense of annoyance, but there was also a sense of satisfaction, because he had already felt the red lips of his ex-wife before Adam put his index finger on Paula's lips.

"Currently, you just touched her, I just kissed her!" Inner Joshep monologue mocked Adam's attitude even though it was only revealed in his heart.

"Alright Mr. Hill, let's talk in my room, I just happen to not have much time today either, we're straight on the core issue." Joshep said he wasted no time telling Kevin how he really is, and explained that Kevin must be operated immediately.

"Sorry Doctor Smith, if I don't look wrong and misjudge, I feel you and Paula look very familiar, did you know before?" Ask Adam.

"Did your wife never tell you about who I am and what our relationship is?" Joshep asked back, he thought Adam knew who he was, or at least Paula had told Adam about herself.

But Adam shook his head, "No!" the answer.

"So, emh-your wife works as a domestic assistant at my residence, didn't your wife tell you that? He doesn't have any money for your son's hospitalization, so I loaned him money, of course not for free, he said, because I also needed a housekeeper and it just so happened that your wife agreed." Joshep explained very calmly, he did not at all disturb the old story of how he and Paula knew each other and even had become a couple,

Joshep deliberately covered it up because he didn't want to get ahead of Paula to tell Adam, however, Joshep should respect and respect Paula's decision not to tell Adam about herself, he must not go too far into the relationship of Paula and Adam,

"Borrow money? How much money did he borrow from you?" Adam asked in shock, in addition, his pride as a father also felt smeared in front of Joshep because for the cost of hospitalization his son Paula had to borrow from Joshep and become a household assistant at the doctor's house to pay for it, how lousy and pointless he was as a father and husband in Joshep's eyes.

"Regarding that, you should ask directly to your wife, should not husband and wife no need to be covered up? Don't tell me if you don't know if your wife works 24 hours in my house?" josep's second stingy insinuation after putting Adam to shame over having to hear Paula borrow money and become a maid at Joshep's house, this time Adam's face was made red with shame because Joshep insinuated Adam's ignorance about what happened to Paula, so he was impressed not to know anything about Paula who he admitted as his wife.

Joshep welcomed Adam's hand even half-heartedly. "Together Mr. Hill."

Adam swallows with his broad steps towards Kevin's ward, this time not Kevin who he really wants to meet, but Paula. There were a lot of things she wanted to ask Paula after she had a long talk with Joshep and it turned out that she did not know what Paula had been doing in her healing efforts Kevin's.

"Some, can I talk to you for a minute?" Adam said shortly after he arrived at Kevin's room.

Paula who was sleeping Kevin gasped, I don't know what Adam wants to discuss at this time, he said, and I don't know what Joshep told Adam so that the man he already considered his own brother put on a very serious face when he asked him to talk.

"Speak here, but slow down, because Kevin just fell asleep" Paula said.

"Why not tell me if you need money for Kevin's hospitalization?" Ask Adam, this is the most he wanted to ask Paula, he felt in step and did not get caught by Paula because Paula actually asked for help from others before asking for help from him.

He is not a rich man and excessive money, his income as a laborer in oil palm plantations has not been able to be tackled big, but if Paula tells about the economic difficulties in nature, he said, moreover, for Kevin's needs, Adam will definitely try to fulfill it in any way.

"Emhhh, I don't want to trouble you, brother." Lirih Paula's.

"But you don't hesitate to ask for help and trouble Doctor Smith, why?" Adam's tone started to sound bad.

"Ah, that-that I borrowed it and I took it out by working at his house, I-I had no other choice." Paula reasoned.

"You have another choice, you can call me and ask for help from me, but you don't do it like I'm not considered by you, I'm not a rich man, I'm not, but for my son I will work with all my might." Adam looks a little upset.

If you do not remember in the room there is Kevin who is asleep, it feels like Adam evaporates his emotions, but he can only sigh deeply and long in order to maintain the stability of his emotions.

"It's not like that I mean brother, really I don't have such thoughts, big brother means a lot to us, especially to Kevin, I'm just embarrassed because all this time it always bothers you, brother's been very nice to us, even too good." Again, Paula's tears just dripped along with sincere words that slid from her lips.

"You work 24 hours at the doctor's house?" Ask Adam again to make sure that what Joshep said to him in the room was true.

"That's-that's because I'm on a mini market stop, and doctor Smith offered me a triple salary if I work there 24 hours, but I'm still given time to accompany Kevin every day at peak hours." Paula looked rather scared.

"Stop working at Doctor Smith's house, I feel like he's got no good intentions on you, I'm gonna pay all your debts to him!" said Adam.

"But--"

"No bargaining, I don't like the doctor's arrogant attitude, from the first look at his face I feel he--!" Adam hung up his sentence, I don't know what he wanted to say, but he said it, he didn't want to say it at the moment.
