Chapter 92

92 Suicide

Kalea’s head was getting dizzy, she winced in pain while holding her head which had just been hit by the alcohol bottle that Freya was still holding. Her vision was getting blurry, Kalea’s eyes widened when she saw that her palms were covered in blood from her head.

“I can’t stand living like this anymore. Everyone throws me away, no one understands my condition at all!” Freya shouted more and more crazily.

Kalea tried to stand her, but her body really couldn’t keep up with what she wanted. Blood continued to drip down to the floor, Kalea should have left Freya who had tortured her but she couldn’t leave her mother in this condition.

“M-mom, please, please calm down,” Kalea whispered, her voice getting softer because her body was getting tired, not to mention she couldn’t see clearly, everything seemed blurry and shadowy. stomach, with great effort, Kalea tried to get up while holding back the right side of her head that kept bleeding.

Freya no longer shouted, her gaze was empty and desperate. She looked at the sharp alcohol bottle at the bottom, pointed it at her stomach and said, “I’d rather die.”

Kalea’s eyes were rounded when she heard and saw directly what her mother was doing. “Mom!” Kalea shouted as she ran towards Freya but unlucky, the woman had stabbed herself in the stomach with the glass bottle and Kalea didn’t have time to stop her.

Kalea gaped in disbelief. She stared blankly as blood came out and filled her mother’s stomach. Freya fell unconscious with the bottle still stuck there. Kalea walked over to her mother, her hands were shaking, her mind was so confused that she didn’t know what to do at a time like this. Freya’s actions really shocked her.

“Mom,” Kalea called, shaking Freya’s shoulder, her tears flowing again. She couldn’t possibly let go of the bottle in Freya’s stomach because it would make her mother bleed even more. Kalea reached into her cell phone, she had to call the emergency number so she could help Freya.

However, the screen of her cell phone was constantly dripping with tears, and her hands didn’t stop shaking making it difficult to type. Kalea was scared, Freya didn’t wake up again and her blood was getting more and more. Kalea wanted to close her eyes, trying to calm down for a while, but she was afraid she wouldn’t have time to help her mother.

.....

Suddenly, someone called her and it was Arthur. Without another thought, Kalea picked it up.

At this time, when things were so difficult, only Arthur could help her.

[Hello? Lea, I-]

“Help me! Help me, Arthur! I- I have to-” Kalea’s words were difficult to understand because of the tears and trembling voice in her voice.

[Okay, calm down. You can say it slowly. What’s wrong, Lea? Where are you now?]

“Home. Can you come here? Help me, my mom has to go to the hospital. Come here quickly!” Kalea shouted in panic, she couldn’t calm down at all at a time like this because the stakes were her mother’s life.

[I’ll be there.]

Arthur immediately turned off the call.

Kalea put her cell phone on the floor, she held Freya who was lying there with her face getting paler as blood kept coming out of her stomach. “Mom, hold on a little longer,” she continued to cry, she didn’t even care about her head at all because her mother’s safety was more important than her own. She couldn’t imagine if Freya really couldn’t be helped. Kalea shook her head, she held Freya’s hand with both of hers, calming a bit because the pulse was still there.

“I’m so sorry, Mom. It’s all my fault. If I didn’t take Mom there, you wouldn’t have to meet him,” the girl mumbled between endless sobs. “I’m sorry, I love you, Mom. I will be a better child, so please, please stay alive for me,” she continued as she kissed the back of Freya’s hand.

Even though their relationship has improved, even though this afternoon they were still fine. However, everything changed drastically because of the perpetrator who had left them and made the two women suffer for years.

About fifteen minutes later, the door of the house was knocked loudly and repeatedly. Kalea immediately stood up and ran quickly to the door to open it, she knew who it was.

“Where is your mom?”

Seeing Arthur, made Kalea want to cry even more. “Over there,” Kalea replied, pointing to the television room.

“Huh? You’re hurt too!” Arthur shouted in panic as he saw the wound on Kalea’s head. The girl backed away, she shook her head.

“My mother’s condition is worse than mine!”

Without waiting for a long time and arguing, Arthur ran over to Freya. He carefully carried Kalea’s mother without asking anything about what was going on. Kalea followed Arthur as he walked out, holding her mother and put her in the car. One of her neighbors who lived next door to Kalea started to come out because she heard a little commotion from the Lovaata family. The woman was very surprised to see Freya’s condition covered in blood.

“Ka-kalea, what happened to your mother?!” She was very panicked.

“Please don’t tell the other neighbors before I explain. I have to go to the hospital now,” Kalea answered desperately.

“Lea, come on!”

Kalea ran quickly into the car after locking her house. Arthur immediately drove his car quickly to Freya, who had to be rushed to the hospital.

The atmosphere in the car was very quiet, Arthur didn’t ask or say anything, while Kalea continued to hold her mother’s hand. In her heart, the girl continued to say a prayer, asking God to save her mother.

Fortunately, the hospital wasn’t far from where Kalea lived. Although it wasn’t a hospital up to Arthur’s standards, but it was the closest one and the man had no other choice for such an urgent situation like this.

Upon arrival, Freya was immediately taken to the emergency unit for further treatment. Kalea can only look at the nurses and doctors who are starting to treat her mother’s condition.

“Lea, you should also be examined,” Arthur said, pulling Kalea’s hand.

“I’m fine, Arthur.”

“Don’t be crazy. Your head is bleeding!” Arthur immediately ordered another nurse to check on his sugar baby, who had to be treated as well.

Arthur sighed, his chest tight and filled with the fire of anger that was building up. He had contacted the hospital of his choice to treat Kalea’s mother, Freya would be transferred once the woman had received first aid.

He waited there long enough because Freya had to have sudden surgery on the head due to the bleeding that wouldn’t stop flowing. Arthur got up from his seat and went to the doctor who handled his sugar baby.

“How is the condition?” Arthur asked, a little panicked.

“The wound is quite deep and because of the profuse bleeding due to the delay in getting first aid, the patient required fifteen stitches to his head. But the operation went well, the patient has regained consciousness,” the doctor replied, allowing Arthur to breathe a sigh of relief. He was grateful and then approached Kalea, who had been brought back to the emergency room after surgery. Meanwhile, Freya is still being treated by doctors due to more serious injuries.

Arthur sat beside Kalea’s bed, looking at the girl who had a bandage on her head and a very pale face. It seemed Arthur couldn’t bear to see his sugar baby in this condition. He took her hand and kissed it.

“How is my mom? My mom will be safe, right?” Kalea asked, her hazel eyes continuing to search for her mother in the room.

“Don’t worry, Lea. Your mom is still being handled by those who are more skilled. Everything will be fine,” Arthur replied, trying to calm the girl down. “You’re injured too, calm your mind. You’ll get a headache if you keep thinking bad thoughts.”

Kalea’s tears rolled down again, she looked down as she wiped her tears. “I won’t be able to forgive myself if Mom leaves me,” Kalea whispered, shaking her head slowly, her chest tight. She was tired of crying, but that was all she could do.

Arthur took Kalea in his arms, caressed the girl’s back gently because his current sugar baby was really very fragile and easily hurt. “You have to believe everything will be fine. The doctor will come out of the operating room, saying if the operation went well and your mom survived,” Arthur said, kissing Kalea’s forehead giving words and a touch of reassurance to the brunette-haired girl.

“It’s all my fault, Arthur.”

“No, don’t keep blaming yourself.” Arthur let go of the hug, he cupped Kalea’s face to return her serious gaze. “Listen to me, your mom will not leave you. I know you are very tired from all that you have been through, but you are really great, Lea. You are the strongest girl I have ever met,” Arthur said, with a very soft tone of voice and able to hypnotize Kalea to stop crying.

“Are you the guardian of sister Freya Lovaata?”

Arthur and Kalea also turned to the nurse who approached them. Before Kalea was about to answer, Arthur moved first.

“Yes, let me go there,” said Arthur. The nurse just glanced at Arthur and then asked the man to see the doctor who treated Freya.

Kalea didn’t protest, she trusted Arthur and was optimistic that her mother would survive the stab wound suicide.
