Chapter 238 - Feeling Not Good

Bryana looked sadly at her father who was very concerned. Lying limply on an inpatient bed with white sheets, oxygen, IV, and other equipment were attached to his chest to help him survive. That's how Stevan is.

The sound of the heart rate monitor echoed so clearly in the silent room, that even Bryana and Dean had to wear special clothes when they entered the room to see Stevan.

"Dad ..." Bryana whispered, holding Stevan's hand.

"The doctor said that his life expectancy is very slim because the injuries are quite severe and the disease cannot be controlled anymore," said Dean, who was still standing behind the wheelchair where Bryana was sitting.

Brianna shook her head with tears in her eyes. "No, you have to fight and have the spirit to stay alive. You have to see Aidyn, take him to play with Calvin and Sofia. Just as you have dreamed of," she said sadly.

"Let's just pray, hopefully, the doctor's verdict doesn't apply," said Dean, rubbing Bryana's shoulder. He was quite devastated to see the state of Stevan who he had once neglected as a father-in-law for being involved in Clarissa's death.

Dean always remembers, Stevan entrusted Bryana to him to always be protected from Gustave's crimes, but before he could take that responsibility, Gustave had already acted and the middle-aged man was taking care of his daughter. 'I'm like a useless son-in-law, but I promise from this moment on, I'll keep her comfortable,' he thought.

Check...

Bryana and Dean turned to look at someone who had just entered the room. They were Raymond and Monica who were also wearing special green clothes.

"Is there any progress regarding dad's condition?" Raymond asked.

"Not yet," said Dean.

Raymond sighed, then looked at Bryana. "Jill, are you feeling better now?"

Bryan just nodded sadly. "I feel grateful because my son is healthy, I'm safe, but dad is like this. My happiness is never complete ...," she said.

"You have to be patient, just pray that dad will wake up soon and welcome to see your son," said Monica, who was relieved to see Bryana was better even though the night before she came home from the hospital, her sister-in-law was very worried.

Bryana nodded and looked up at Monica who was standing next to Raymond across from Stevan's bed. "Did the kidnapper hurt you and Calvin?" She asked.

"No, it's just that we're almost done if Raymond and the Bodyguard team don't come soon. I'm lucky I still have my phone in my pocket so it can be traced," Monica explained remembering the very stressful events of last night.

"What are they doing?" Bryan asked.

"Put a bomb near me and Calvin," Monica replied.

"And the bomb went off a few seconds after we got out of the old building. Gustave didn't have the heart to do any of that. Even though, Calvin, we are all still part of his family because he is the husband of my late mom's sister," said Raymond, still annoyed at the bomb explosion last night.

"He's dead, we don't have to keep hating him," Dean said, then glanced at his watch. "We'd better go to Gustave's funeral now. Maybe Dany and the others are ready to go to take his body to the cemetery," he continued.

"Okay then, we're leaving now," said Raymond in a lazy tone. for whatever reason, he was very lazy to take Gustave to his final resting place, because the grudge and hatred towards him were still very fertile growing in his heart.

"I'll take you to your room to rest," said Dean, looking down at Bryana.

"Just take me to our baby's room. I want to accompany him," said Bryana.

"I'll take her. You guys go now because Dany and the others will be waiting for you," said Monica.

Dean nodded in agreement and kissed Bryana's forehead before he left the room with Raymond. after that, Monica turned to Bryana who still looked sad looking at her father.

"Bryana, shall we go out now?"

"We should have to go out but I can't bear to leave dad. For some reason, it feels really sad. Dad looks very fragile and I don't feel good," said Bryana nervously, then took his father's hand which was very weak and cold. "His hand was already very cold," she said.

Monica also touched Stevan's palm which was getting cold like someone who was about to die. Her feelings began to be uneasy but slowly that feeling passed when she saw her father-in-law slowly opening her eyes. "Bryana, look. I'm awake."

Bryana looked at her father's face. "Dad... We are safe. You have helped me, saved me and my son."

"Bryana..." Stevan whispered weakly.

"I'll call the doctor," Monica said then hurried out of the room

Bryana smiled with tears in her eyes because she had been so panicked. After all, her father seemed to have no hope anymore. "Daddy must be strong and heal. After that you will settle down with me, my kids ... We will be together in peace as you have always wanted."

Stevan smiled crookedly glancing at Bryana. He took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly trying to stabilize his breath, which felt tight, his chest ached but he tried to hide what he felt from his daughter.

"Where's your son?" Stevan whispered.

"He's still in the incubator because he was born prematurely," Bryana replied.

"Is he well?"

"Yeah, he's healthy even though he's tiny. I've already given him a name," Bryana explained with a happy smile.

"I wish I could see it," Stevan said weakly. he found it very difficult to open his eyes, even his chest hurt even more.

"If dad is getting better and he's allowed to leave the NICU, I'll bring him here. He is very handsome, has a little resemblance to you," said Bryana hoping to raise the spirit of her father's life.

Stevan smiled crookedly at Bryana who looked very happy. "He must look like Dean."

Bryan just nodded.

"Dean will always take care of you," Stevan said then took another breath because it was getting tighter. "Whatever happens, I hope you guys stay together, grow old together unlike mom and dad."

Bryana was suddenly sad and understood how hard her father's life was, who had been left forever by her mother. Her father must have always felt longing and lonely. "We will always be together. You will also be with us, live with us," she said sadly.

Stevan just nodded and was silent until the doctor came with Monica to immediately examine him. At that time there was also a pediatrician who approached Bryana to immediately prepare breast milk to be given to her baby.

Bryana was forced to leave her father with a heavy heart. She still faithfully sat in a wheelchair and was pushed by Monica to the NICU room which was located a bit far from the ICU room.

___

Carlos is in a room in a luxury apartment. he sat back on the couch and watched the news on TV which turned out to be an interview with Dean and Bryana at the hospital. He immediately threw the ashtray in front of him at the TV, causing it to crack and die.

"FUCK!! The accident was very fatal but he still survived!"

A girl who was on the bed woke up and approached Carlos wearing only red lacy lingerie, then hugged him from behind. "What makes you mad, honey?"

"That arrogant woman is still alive. I'm sick of seeing her happy with that poor husband!" said Carlos furiously clenching his jaw.

"Forget about that matter, I have a precise plan other than an assassination plan. Killing the enemy is the same as making him less miserable. better use another way," exclaimed the girl.

"What do you mean?" Carlos asked, glancing at the girl.

"I am indeed only a paid girl to satisfy you every time, but I am willing to help you get your revenge as long as you guarantee my life. I need money and you need satisfaction with your revenge," the girl explained in a sensual tone while feeling Carlos' chest.

"What is your plan?" Carlos asked.

"I'll think about it, but as long as I help you, let me stay here," said the girl with a seductive smile then kissed Carlos' jaw.

"Okay, I'm waiting for you to take my revenge. You stay here and I will see you every night!" Carlos said then turned to look at the girl and kissed her lips for a while.. The man is disgusting with all the attitude of a jerk and only cares about his lust.
