Day after day they go through, it does not feel like they will stay 2 more days they will be in that place. There's not much Grace does, she only occasionally treats the injured members.
This morning the police officers were ready with their backpacks. They would go into the forest and pass through some obstacles like the previous years.
“You don't need to follow us. Take a rest today. We'll be back around afternoon. Don't miss me,” Gregory's tease on Grace.
Doctor Grace is getting more and more used to what police Captain Gregory says and does. Their relationship was not as rigid as the first time they met, but Grace kept her distance from the man.
Grace felt lonely at the training ground. There was only him and a few members who were indeed tasked with just in case. However, they must always be ready if suddenly there is an attack from the enemy, especially the mafia kingpins who always have a cunning plan.
The time was almost 4pm, but there was no sign of the police returning there. Grace who felt boaan in the tent was finally out.
Just as he opened the curtain of the tent, he was surprised by several police officers running while carrying a stretcher.
“Doctor, please Captain!” danilo shouted while carrying a stretcher with 3 other colleagues and his face looked very worried.
Grace looked at the unconscious Gregory with a pale face. From his forehead also let out a sweat.
“What happened to him?” ask Grace to clarify.
“Captain was bitten by this spider,” Danilo showed a glass jar with a black spider inside.
“Black Widow?” murmured Grace while taking the small jar.
“This is all because of me. If I don't fall, the Captain doesn't have to help me and he won't be bitten by this shitty animal,” Danilo said.
“It's okay, I'll handle it soon. Can you get water from the river, put it in this bag,” Grace does not have ice cubes to compress the scar of the spider bite that has been flushed, almost like a gunshot wound.
Danilo and his three companions went straight out, while Grace began to slowly clean the wound. Gregory began to fumble indistinctly, Grace holding her forehead and feeling that Gregory was starting to have a fever.
“Dad, let me go! I have to help her. He must be scared at this time,” Gregory continues to rummage. He was looking for anti-pain and anti-poison drugs that he had. When he saw Danilo coming, he asked Danilo for help to compress the bite scars with plastic containing cold river water, while Grace began injecting anti-pain and anti-poison drugs.
“It's my fault. I'm sorry, Capt!” Danilo continued to feel guilty until he did not concentrate on holding the plastic used to compress Gregory's wound.
“You better come back and calm yourself. I will treat and treat her,” Grace said.
“I'll be here to accompany him.”
“You'd better be back. Your presence won't help him. He will be happier to see you can move as usual,” said Grace.
Danilo looked towards Gregory, he sighed a little harshly. He blamed himself constantly, but in the end he got out of the tent.
Grace compresses Gregory's forehead with a towel. All night, he accompanied the man. Sometimes he almost fell asleep, but he immediately woke up again because he did not want anything to happen with the man. The cold of the night made Gregory's body shiver slightly, Grace immediately took the blanket and covered it once again, until Gregory used 3 layers of blankets.
Instantly, Gregory was silent and sounded a soft snore. Grace pulled up the chair and sat right next to him, holding Gregory by the hand. Over time, Grace fell asleep next to Gregory in a sitting position.
The next morning, Gregory woke up with a still somewhat blurred vision. His head was still a little sore, as was his arm. He felt something in his palm. He saw that next to him Grace was asleep holding her hand, and a smile appeared on her face.
Gregory slowly withdrew his hand, despite the pain. He put it over Grace's head and rubbed it. Grace who felt the touch woke up.
“You're aware?” tanya Grace then checked Gregory's forehead, “already has no fever.”
“Do you take care of me all night?” ask Gregory.
“No, Mr. Danilo helped me take care of you,” said Grace. He wanted Gregory to also feel that Danilo cared and worried about him.
“Oohhh,” there was a bit of a disappointed tone in Gregory's remarks.
“What do you still feel?” ask Grace.
“My head and arms hurt, even my whole body ached.”
“You will be taken to the hospital this morning. I've given you anti-pain and anti-poison, but you should still get treatment.”
Danilo who woke up very early in the morning approached Doctor Grace's tent and saw the condition of the captain, “You are aware, Capt? Ahhh thank you.”
“Bring him to the hospital immediately,” said Grace.
“Yes, my friends and I have prepared a car to take the Captain. Thank you Doctor,” said Danilo.
“It's my job,” Grace helped push the gurney where Gregory was lying. It would have been easier to take Gregory in a gurney than to break it.
“Can't you take care of me here?” ask Gregory. I don't think he'd be willing to leave Grace there. How will he come back? Who will he go home with? Will he bring all his things alone? There were a lot of questions in Gregory's mind.
“My equipment and medicines are not as complete as in the hospital. It would be better if you were treated there, Captain,” Grace said.
“But what about you?” The question finally came out of Gregory's mouth.
“I! I'll be here until training is finished.”
“Let's calm Capt, I will take Doctor Grace home later to Camp,” Danilo said. Gregory knitted his eyebrows together, not willing if Grace had to be alone in the car with a man other than himself, even though it was Danilo. However, he could not argue, his head was still in pain.
Danilo and a colleague push Gregory's gurney, leaving Grace behind. Gregory continued to look towards Grace, then sighed softly.
