Jean sighed in satisfaction while cupping Lilia's face with both hands. His eyes as blue as the ocean were fixed on his wife, watching her every move. Jean kissed the tip of Lilia's nose before asking, "Aren't you sad?"
The sudden question made Lilia freeze in his arms for a moment. However, he only needed a few seconds to recover. Lilia initially thought that Jean meant she was sad for the Irwan Family.
Lilia shook her head with a faint smile. She softly explained, "No, I don't feel sad for a family I barely know. There may be a hint of melancholy, but it hasn't reached the point of sadness yet."
"I mean for the Pangestu Family."
Lilia fell silent after hearing that. If Jean was talking about the Pangestu Family, then Lilia couldn't deny her feelings. He truly felt sad about what had happened to the Pangestu Family. Especially, on the breakdown of the relationship between Lilia and Robert.
Since little Lilia until recently, she had always thought that the only person in the Pangestu Family who loved her was Robert, her father. She still remembers when Robert told her about her contract marriage to Jean. At that time, Lilia had really wanted to refuse, but in the end, she decided to go along with Robert's wishes. It was because Lilia believed that her father really thought of the best for her.
But unfortunately, that was just an illusion. Just like a beautiful fireworks display. The moment the fireworks were launched into the sky, her beauty was enchanting. But as time went by, those fireworks faded from people's memories and disappeared without a trace.
Lilia may be the biological daughter of the Irwan family, but the figure who became her father figure during her 24 years of life is still Robert. The time they spent together as a family couldn't be eliminated that easily. But Lilia was determined that she wouldn't allow herself to be burdened by past memories. Even though he felt sad, he could only bury it deep in his heart and allow time to heal his wounds.
Lilia just didn't expect that Jean was watching her so closely that the man could detect her emotional fluctuations, no matter how small. There is nothing hidden from Jean.
Lilia chuckled and hugged Jean even tighter. She leaned against the man's neck and whispered, "No matter how Robert has treated me all this time, I will still be grateful to him. After all, he was the one who gave me the chance to participate in summer camp fourteen years ago. If it weren't for Robert, I would be. will never see you, Jean. "
The model said it all with a very serious face. Even though it could be said that her life started off in error, Lilia believes that all of this happened for a reason. As proof, she was able to meet the husband of her dreams among all those mistakes.
Jean smiled faintly before hugging him tightly. His strong arms were wrapped around her slender body. He stroked Lilia's hair with one hand, then lowered his head and kissed Lilia's forehead.
The man sighed and said in a bitter tone, "In that case, it looks like I will have mercy on Robert."
Lilia closed her eyes and enjoyed caressing Jean's hand on her head. He just muttered his approval without really thinking about it. The warmth of Jean's embrace and the softness of her hands made Lilia wish she could stay here forever.
But Lilia knows that she can't stop here. After a while, he remembered one thing. Lilia gently detached herself from Jean before asking, "Did the medical team that appeared in the Irwan Family house belong to the Widjaya Family?"
He still remembered the doctor from the medical team, who had come to treat Leila and spoke with a harsh mouth. Lilia has never met such an eccentric doctor!
Lilia clearly remembered that before the doctor left, she took the time to bow to Lilia. Therefore, he suspected that the doctor had something to do with Jean.
The man's eyes were filled with a soft light. He rubbed Lilia's face and nodded in response. "The doctor is the Widjaya family doctor, Doctor Lucas who leads the Widjaya family's medical team. Recently, he happened to be attending a seminar in Jakarta. I called him because he had free time." Jean explained.
If Doctor Lucas, who was actually very busy, heard what Jean said, maybe he would immediately submit his resignation!
Lilia nodded when she heard Jean's explanation. No wonder Doctor Lucas had such an attitude towards Lilia, who was the daughter-in-law of the Widjaya Family. He looked up at Jean, who kept rubbing his face like a child finding a new toy. Lilia pulled Jean's hand away before giving him a seductive smile.
"If you invite me here just to rub my cheek, I better just accompany Sis Mel!" Lilia teased.
Jean chuckled. Suddenly the man lifted Lilia into his arms. He ignored the woman's shocked screams and led her to the sofa.
"Then, I won't hold back anymore." Jean whispered in Lilia's ear, making her face look as red as an apple.
When the two of them chatted with each other in the ward, at the same time there was also an astonishing scene in the next room.
*****
Initially, Mellisa's injury has improved due to her rest in the last few days. But after Mellisa grabbed Sylvia and intimidated her at the Irwan Family's house just now, her wound hurt again. Although it didn't cause the wound to open again, the sudden movement still broke the skin around the wound.
At this time, the head doctor who handled Mellisa was placing the medical tray on the bedside table. The male doctor looked at Mellisa's face for a moment, then first took a thermometer and checked the temperature. After checking, Mellisa's body temperature was still normal.
The doctor nodded to himself and began to unscrew the iodophore medicine bottle. He said to Mellisa, "Take off your clothes."
Before Mellisa could say anything, Leonard who was waiting by her bedside immediately spoke up. "What would you do?" Leonard asked defensively.
The doctor dipped a cotton ball in the iodophor and glanced at Leonard in disbelief. She replied sharply, "What do you think I would do? Are you telling me to treat her wound without her needing to undress? Do you think my eyes have X-rays?"
Despite being scolded in such a way by the doctor, Leonard stared back at him coldly. The police inspector began unbuttoning his shirt with rough movements.
The doctor saw Leonard's movements and immediately dropped the pincers. He took a step back with a horrified expression. "What are you doing, Leo ?! Are you planning to beat me up ?!"
The doctor kept on swearing inwardly. She was a head doctor, but Leonard dragged her here to do a job a nurse was supposed to be doing! Where is his pride as a head doctor ?! Doesn't that guy know how busy he is ?!
This doctor, whose name is Lawrence Blain, is the doctor who performed the operation on Mellisa that day.
It can be said that Lawrence is one of the legends in the medical world, just like Julius. But in general, a surgeon cannot enjoy the same popularity as a famous researcher. People who run into famous surgeons don't necessarily know who he is.
The only exception is Lawrence.. As long as you saw the black gold-patterned scalpel he was carrying, you would know that he was Lawrence Blain.
