Chapter 67 - 67. Beyond Expectation

"Achew!" Anna sneezed again.

The woman didn't notice that someone was watching her from the second floor.

Suddenly her steps faltered, dizziness suddenly whacked her head. Trying to keep her body upright but only for a few seconds her body wobbled, she passed out.

"Miss Anna.." Hendra who was walking towards the garage lot immediately turned around when he saw the woman suddenly fall.

"Don't touch her," a voice from behind stopped the middle-aged man.

"Yes sir."

"Contact Dr.Rian, tell him to come to the house," ordered Devan who had already turned around and entered the house with Anna's tiny body in his arms.

"Yes sir."

Laying the girl's body on his bed and then covering her very carefully. Devan then sat on the sofa in the corner of the room, his gaze never took his eyes from Anna, although he was very disappointed with the woman's response to him regarding their meeting five years ago, that does not mean the feelings he had could disappear as quickly as possible.

At first, Devan didn't realize his feelings for the woman, thinking that maybe he was just curious because Anna was so different from other women he had met. But as the night passed, he became restless, every moment his thoughts could not be separated from Anna, even when he was making love to another woman, and that's when he realized that their brief meeting left a feeling he never expected.

And Devan needs time to forget all that. If only Anna wasn't married yet, well, if only...

...

"How's her condition, Dr. Rian?" asked Devan when he saw a man who was about his age finished checking on Anna.

"Miss Anna is just an ordinary fever, sir. Maybe because the recent extreme weather changes have weakened her immune system. She is also hypotensive," replied Dr. Rian.

Devan was stunned to hear the man's reply, "I never mentioned the woman's name, how could you..."

"Ah, Miss Anna is one of my patients, sir," interrupted Dr. Rian immediately answered, as if he already knew where the man's words were going.

"Is that true?"

Dr.Rian nodded in agreement, his memory is still very clear when that woman first met him, Miss Anna was in a state of big pregnancy.

And a little information, that the one who helped Anna's delivery operation was Dr. Rian. Also a few days ago when Dave was sick, that man was the doctor Naila contacted.

"Don't worry, Miss Anna will be fine," said Dr. Rian again handed Devan a small note containing a prescription for medicine. To be honest, he was very curious about Mr. Devan's relationship with Miss Anna, why did he meet that woman in this house? Then where is Mr. Nicho? However, given that he was only their doctor, Dr. Rian chose to throw away his curiosity.

"Okay, thanks, Doc," Devan replied accepting the paper that was handed to him.

"Then I'll say goodbye, sir. Call me if anything happens."

"Okay."

After the departure of Dr. Rian, Devan immediately called Hendra.

"Yes, sir? Do you need anything?"

"Take this and go to the pharmacy," Devan replied, handing over the paper in his hand.

"Yes sir."

Until the afternoon, Anna still showed no sign of coming to her senses. Devan wanted to get out of the room, but his steps suddenly stopped when the cell phone he placed on the nightstand rang.

It's from Leo.

As usual, Devan just ignored the incoming call. But he hasn't turned around fully and a message comes back making him turn his head.

And it's from the same person.

Seeing the contents of the message, Devan immediately contacted Leo, but the server was busy.

"Does this man want to play with me?" mumbled Devan put the flat-shaped object back.

Drrtt… Drrtt…

"Stop playing around, Leo," Devan answered the call in a slightly high-pitched voice.

"Who's playing around? I called you earlier but you ignored me then your contact was suddenly busy and only connected again now," Leo replied defensively.

"Why do you call me?"

"Aunt Seira didn't call you?" Leo asked.

"No."

"Where are you now?" Leo asked.

"None of your affairs."

"If you're outside, you'd better go home now."

"What?"

"It turns out that Aunt and Byanca have arrived in Indonesia since yesterday, and are currently heading to your house," Leo replied.

"You lied to me the other day?"

"No, I swear to anything. I just never thought that they would come sooner than the aunt told me," Leo explained.

"Auntie just called me and asked for your address," he added.

"And you told her?"

"Of course. I'm not that bad to keep my cousin's address from his mother," Leo replied.

Devan was silent, glancing in the direction where Anna was.

"Stopped them."

"Huh? Who do you mean?" Leo couldn't properly digest what Devan meant.

"My mother and Byanca. Don't let them reach my house."

"What do you mean?"

"Just do it, I'm still outside right now. I have important things to do, maybe tonight I can go home. Take them to Grandma's house, and wait for me there," said Devan, this was the longest sentence he had ever said to his cousin.

"What's important? You're not in the office today, right? What have you been doing lately?" Leo asked curiously as if ignoring his cousin's request.

"Do or not?"

"What will you give me if I do?"

"Whatever you ask."

Leo laughed on the other end of the phone, "Hahaha, alright, alright. Leave it to me," Leo replied.

And after that, the connection is disconnected.

Devan massaged his forehead which didn't hurt, he never thought that his mother would come today. If only Anna's condition wasn't like this, then he didn't need to ask Leo for help.

After that, Devan decided to take a shower, for some reason he suddenly felt hot, even though the air was very cold right now.

...

The bell suddenly rang, making Devan who was drinking water from a mineral bottle in front of the refrigerator immediately turned his head towards the entrance.

He then walked to the side of the window, peeked a little, and at the same time his body suddenly froze.

"Damn, Leo!" Devan cursed when he saw several figures standing in front of the door.

It was Mrs. Seira and Byanca. How could the two of them be here?

The bell rang again.

Devan immediately reached into his pants pocket, took out his cellphone, and then dialed Leo.

"I was just about to call you," Leo's voice came first from the other end.

"What exactly were you doing earlier? I asked you to prevent my mother from coming to the house..."

"This is what I want to tell you, I can't reach Auntie's contacts, so I don't know where they are now. I want to contact Byanca but I don't have her contact. Can you send it to me? I'll just call the woman now," Leo interrupted, quick.

Hearing his cousin's words, Devan rolled his eyes, he then sighed harshly.

"No need. They're already in front of the house."

"Really? That fast?" Leo replied.

"You're the slow one."

"Huh? Didn't you say you were going home tonight? How did you know..."

Leo hasn't finished his sentence yet and the connection has been cut.. Devan ended the call unilaterally.
