That night, Lilia and Mellisa left their apartment before six o'clock. The sky in Jakarta was slowly getting dark, with a gust of wind that was chilling to the bone. The neon lights began to shine brightly across the city. Its light illuminated the pedestrians hurrying home.
Clifford drove them both in his car to a private hospital in Jakarta. Normally, the trip there only took about an hour. However, since their departure coincided with office hours, coupled with the heavy traffic conditions in Jakarta, they arrived at the hospital much later than they had planned.
When she arrived at the hospital, Lilia was subconsciously frowning. No matter how long it had been since she last set foot in the hospital, Lilia still hated that place. She felt that the air in the hospital was tainted by the smell of disinfectant.
After they got out of the car in the parking lot, Mellisa took her cell phone and called someone. As soon as the phone was connected, she immediately said, "It's me. Come downstairs, I'm in the parking lot!"
Mellisa only said a few words in a commanding tone. Lilia could already guess that her sister must be talking to one of his subordinates.
In less than three minutes, a male figure ran from the direction of the inpatient department. But Lilia was surprised because the man was wearing a hospital gown.
Herri quickly ran over to them. In his hands were two folders containing personal data form of visiting family members. "Captain, I've brought you the data you asked for earlier!" Herri reported while stopping in front of Mellisa.
The man handed Mellisa the visitor form, as if he was giving something very valuable. Herri's face was filled with pride because he was able to complete the task Mellisa assigned him. The man looked like a lap dog waiting for praise from his master.
Mellisa took the folder and looked inside it for a moment, then she handed it to Lilia. "After seven in the evening, we won't be allowed to visit patients. That's why I told Herri to get this for us. With this, we can get into the inpatient department easily," Mellisa explained.
Lilia accepted the form and read it. Then she asked, "Isn't Leila supposed to be in the advanced ward? Could this form get us in there?"
Herri looked at Lilia in surprise. He again felt that she really did resemble the Captain! Not only in terms of appearance, but also the sharpness of mind!
The man straightened up and immediately answered Lilia's question. "Yes, don't worry! I guarantee this form will get us inside! Let's go through the emergency exit,"
Without waiting for Lilia's answer, Herri turned around and started walking away.
Mellisa raised her eyebrows and smiled, then she turned to Lilia. "Let's go," she invited. "Herri may be silly sometimes, but he can be trusted,"
Mellisa had put Herri in the hospital, so the man must have prepared everything. If something went wrong, Herri would receive punishment from Mellisa!
*****
Around eight in the evening, inside the senior ward of the private hospital. The interior of the ward was very spacious and comfortable. Its size even rivaled a hotel's executive suite. If it weren't for the smell of disinfectant around it, one would think the ward was an upscale apartment room.
Leila was lying on the hospital bed playing with her cell phone. Currently, the Irwan family had returned home after accompanying her all day. There was only a nurse in the bathroom washing her clothes. In front of the door, there were two bodyguards standing side by side. The two of them looked tired and a little sleepy.
When the nurse came out of the bathroom, Leila hurriedly hid the cellphone under her pillow. She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
There were no ceiling lights in the ward, only a dim light from the night lamp beside the bed. The nurse looked at Leila, who was fast asleep, then took out the medical records and jotted down some notes.
After the nurse finished taking notes, she returned to the bathroom. As soon as the bathroom door closed, Leila immediately opened her eyes. She took out the makeup kit from under her pillow and began to carefully apply her makeup. Then Leila took out the mirror from the bedside table. Her pale face was reflected in the dim light.
Leila raised the corner of her mouth in satisfaction, then she fixed her hospital gown. She got out of bed and knocked politely on the bathroom door.
"Ahem, auntie, my stomach hurts a little. It looks like I'm having my period, can you help me buy sanitary pads?" Leila asked.
The nursing staff was surprised and hurriedly put the clothes on her hands, then walked out of the bathroom. She saw Leila's pale face and immediately believed her words. The nurse hurried away without realizing that the access card for her VIP ward had been secretly taken.
After the nurse left, Leila walked outside and greeted the two bodyguards outside the door. Her pale face and soft smile on her lips were able to win the hearts of all who saw her.
"Brothers, you have worked hard for the past two days. Thank you very much," Leila said sweetly.
"Miss Leila, you don't have to be so formal with us!" The two bodyguards nodded respectfully. Even though their faces were very tired, they still stood straight and took their duties seriously.
Hearing that, Leila turned and took a plate of fruit from the small cupboard near the door. She looked at the two bodyguards with an innocent gaze, like a little sister.
"Brothers, this is for you! I just cut it. I hope these fruits can help you stay up all night!" Leila said as she handed him the plate.
The two bodyguards seemed touched by Leila's kindness. After they received the fruit plate, they said emotionally, "Miss Leila is very nice! Thank you very much!"
The guards who looked innocent immediately finished the fruit plate with gusto. Then they returned the plate to Leila gratefully.
Leila's eyes flashed slyly, but she covered them with a big smile. "Then, I'll sleep now. Good night!" She said before going back into the ward.
Leila put down the empty plate with a satisfied laugh. Those two bodyguards were really stupid! They did not realize that there were sleeping pills in these fruits. The medicinal effect was immediately visible within five minutes.
The woman sat leaning on the head of the bed while counting the time with her cell phone. Leila calmly listened to the movement outside the door.
Sure enough, in less than five minutes, she peeked out the window at the door and found her two bodyguards fast asleep. Leila cracked open the door to confirm the condition of her bodyguard, but they didn't react at all.
Leila sneered and returned to the room. Then she sent a message on her cell phone.
[Leila]: "Come in,"
After sending the message, Leila quickly returned to the bed and covered herself with the blanket. Her pale and colorless cheeks made her look very weak.
A few seconds later, there was a sound from the door, and two figures stepped in. The woman who walked in front had fruits in her hands. She headed straight for the bed with a worried face.
The woman asked in a soft, depressed voice, "Daughter, are you feeling better today?"
While the woman busied herself with Leila, the middle aged man who followed behind her took off his coat.. Then he covered the glass window in the door with the coat.
