Elena remembered how the sleeping face Dean was. The fat baby has a face like Brian. Pointed nose. Small but thick lips. Thick black eyebrows and long lashes. Elena even wondered how a man could have lush eyelashes like Brian. Elena's left hand moved. She had a strong desire to touch those lashes. Want to feel if it's real and how it feels when she touch with her finger.
Elena's fingers continued to approach Brian's face. Until finally Brian's lashes shook and his eyes slowly opened. Seeing Brian who was awake, Elena immediately pulled her hand and pretended nothing had happened.
"Are you awake?" Elena asked still in her hoarse voice.
"I should have asked that question. Are you awake?" Brian sat up straight and looked to the side. Get Elena drinking water that is on the nightstand. And give it to Elena. The woman without hesitation drank the water. She was really thirsty and her throat was dry and she needed water so badly. After that Elena returned to give the empty glass to Brian. Which was immediately placed on the nightstand by the man.
"How do you feel?" Brian's question made Elena finally realize that her left chest ached and ached every time she moved.
"What happened? Am I in the hospital?" Elena doesn't remember what happened. Last time the thing Elena remembered was her sitting on the balcony of her room watching videos of how to cook a cake. So why is she in the hospital now with a chest wound?
"Don't you remember what happened?" Brian's question immediately got Elena's head piggy bank.
"Do you remember the repair man fixing the air conditioner in your room?" Brian's words suddenly made Elena remember everything. She remembered what happened that time. Elena, who was about to help the man because of a non-severe cough, was even surprised when the man held out a knife towards Elena. And Elena also remembered that man said, "You die, Elise."
So actually the criminal misunderstood, he thought Elena was Elise. And the criminal has been misdirected. Elena thought back to what Brian had said before. That Elise is in danger, and Elena might be affected for having the exact same face. And finally the dreaded event finally happened. Wait, was that guy the one who hit Mommy too?
"Brian, was that man the one who hit Mommy and killed Mommy?"
"Yes, he did it. He told himself that he was aiming to hit Elise to death but hit Mommy instead."
"Why does he want to kill Elise?" Elena asked curiously and worried about Elise.
"It's because of me." Elena's forehead frowned at Brian's words. Seeing Elena's expression right now made Brian want to laugh or rub Elena's head affectionately. However, he couldn't do that, as he was talking serious things right now.
"That man wanted revenge on me. He wanted to kill the people I care about. So he targeted Elise who is my wife."
"But why does he want revenge on you?"
"Because he blamed me for the death of his wife and child."
Elena continued to stare at Brian, asking for a clearer explanation from her.
"The man is an employee involved in a corporate fund corruption case. The same case happened to Diego first."
"If Diego is ultimately found not guilty, the man is otherwise, he is proven involved in the corruption case. He was fired and all assets and property were confiscated. And he was also jailed for one year. And only in the last few weeks he has been released from prison."
"Previously, his son had a serious illness and required a lot of money to treat and treat him. This triggered him to be involved in the corruption case. So when he was found guilty and in prison, his son's medical expenses stopped which made his illness worse until he died. His wife was devastated by the situation. Her husband was in prison for a corruption case and her child died. So, before long, the woman committed suicide due to the stress she was experiencing. "
"And the man named Edward blamed me for what happened to his family." Brian explained at length. He got the complete information from the results of disturbing Fredy in the middle of the night. To find out about Edward.
So, last night because Brian wanted to stay up late waiting for Elena, he called and disturbed Fredy 's deep sleep. Dan asked for the identity and information about Edward. Initially Fredy was angry and upset because Brian's midnight call. But Brian promised to give Fredy a bonus along with an additional day off. Which in the end made Fredy refreshed and immediately found the information Brian needed.
"So, like that. But you are utterly innocent. That man was at fault for committing an act of corruption and causing all those unlucky incidents to happen." A second later Elena shook her head. And deny her own words.
"No, that man is also innocent. Because he did it well. The circumstances that required him to participate in corruption."
"So who's guilty?" Brian asked.
"Nothing is wrong. Everything is the destiny of God. Maybe if that man did not commit corruption, his son would still die and his wife would suffer from stress and suicide as well. So, this is all predestined by God. Even Mommy's death has become God's hand. . " Having said it all. Elena styled Brian and took the man's hand.
"I hope you don't blame yourself for Mommy's death. And don't get angry or take revenge on that man. He has suffered a lot from living alone without the people he loves. So, forgive him and let the police punish him."
All of Elena's words calmed Brian's heart and any residue of anger at the desire for revenge just vanished. Brian smiled broadly at Elena. This woman is very precious. He always has a positive impact on everyone around her. And Brian loves her very, very much. Can Brian wrap Elena and lock her in his room only. So that no one will see or want to steal elana from him.
