152 Between Two Bad Choices
“Argh, shit! What do you want?!” Zeline cursed irritably when they were in a fairly quiet corridor.
“Answer my question. You’re sick, aren’t you?” Angela was accused, which made Zeline even more annoyed. Because how could a doctor, corner her like this.
Zeline glared at Angela as she folded her arms haughtily and said, “What does it matter if I’m sick?”
Angela looked calm, unprovoked. “If that’s true, please don’t just have sex with whoever it is. You must have done it with Dariel, right?” Angela guessed.
Zeline frowned, still digesting where Arthur’s sister was going with this. “So you’re saying I could have passed my illness on to Dariel? Hey, you should know that guy is also always having sex with another woman. Why don’t you tell him to lock up his things so that he won’t go into random holes?” Zeline asked very annoyed. She still did not expect Angela to be this crazy about Dariel. “Could I have gotten it from Dariel?”
“That’s not possible. He takes good care of his health,” Angela denied, trusting the man she loved so much.
“Haha, you idiot. You think I’m not? I’ve checked my health at this hospital many times. So don’t be a smartass about my life!” Zeline growled, pushing Angela’s shoulder with her index finger.
Kalea, who did not want their argument to escalate, took the initiative to separate the two girls. Kalea pulled Zeline’s arm to take a few steps back, then said, “Come on, Zeline. We better get out of here.”
“But you’re basically at fault, right? Or maybe it’s you too, Lea?” Angela’s accusations were still endless and she was now throwing them at Kalea.
.....
“What, I told you my job was to deliver. Besides, it’s not certain that Zeline really has it,” Kalea retorted defensively. She is starting to get annoyed with Angela’s accusations flying at them. “Angela, even if I did have it, wouldn’t it be your brother’s fault? I only did it with Arthur, and he didn’t.”
Angela fell silent, unable to reply anymore. Zeline smiled sarcastically, her hatred growing for the woman who was obsessed with Dariel.
“You still want to accuse us again? Look, everything you saw today is none of your business. You should have fixed your character, who likes to interfere in people’s relationships,” Zeline hissed sarcastically.
“What do snot-nosed kids like you know? I’m older than you and far more experienced! Haha, I’m actually very sad about what you guys are doing. Flirting with a much older man just for money,” Angela snapped back at the two girls. She was really angry, especially at the woman who was close to Dariel, the person she loved.
Zeline was even angrier, she took a few steps forward until there was only a few inches between her and Angela. She looked up slightly because Angela was taller than her. “I told you to shut your damn mouth if you don’t know the problems of someone’s life. People who live in harmony with a rich and good family like you wouldn’t understand,” Zeline said in an emphatic tone. Perhaps if she had not cared about where she stood, Zeline would have persecuted Angela by now. “It’s better to live like this than for my nature to be so spoiled and troublesome to others like you do when I already have such a perfect family,” Zeline continued, a sly smile gracing her beautiful face.
Angela’s heart was pierced by Zeline’s sharp words. The woman clenched her fists tightly, returning Zeline’s gaze angrily. “What did you say?”
Kalea sighed, she had been watching the two women argue. It seemed like this time really had to end, especially since the corridor was getting more and more crowded. They could become a spectacle, and that was not good at all.
“Zeline, let’s go,” Kalea asked again, pushing Zeline’s body away from Angela and away from the hospital.
“Kalea, if you have a sexual disease, you must tell my brother immediately. Including if you get pregnant,” Angela reminded.
“Why are you in charge of Kalea’s life?!” Zeline said irritably.
The corners of Kalea’s lips turned up, but only a wry smile was there. “Haha, take it easy. I’ll try not to trouble your brother.”
And after that, Kalea went first out of the hospital, and Zeline followed behind until they finally reached the car.
“Hey, are you thinking about those bitch words? No need to take it seriously! Fuck, even if you got HIV and all that, it’s definitely Arthur who’s at fault. Why does she even want to blame you? Is she really that crazy?” Zeline ranted, letting out all her frustration in the car.
Along the way, Zeline continued to babble about Arthur’s younger brother. Meanwhile, Kalea seemed to be calmly driving the car. Finally, Kalea did not hear Zeline’s nagging voice, it seemed that the blonde girl was tired.
“Hey, Lea. But I’ve been thinking about her words.”
“You told me not to care about anything Angela said, so why are you licking your tongue?” Kalea asked in surprise.
“That’s not it, dammit! What I meant was, what if you get pregnant? Are you going to tell Arthur?”
Kalea was silent. In fact, she had been thinking about it all along. Even now, she had not thought about the possibility that she might miss out and get pregnant with her sugar daddy’s child. Despite what they had tried to prevent Kalea from getting pregnant, the unexpected could still happen.
“I don’t know, but I think I’ll inevitably tell Arthur,” Kalea replied.
“Oh, but isn’t that a good idea?”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“It could be a reason for him to marry you, right? Don’t you love Arthur?” Zeline seemed enthusiastic in sharing her brilliant idea. However, Kalea’s facial expression was not, as she shook her head.
“I don’t want him to do it under duress. As for my feelings, I will handle them myself,” Kalea replied as she parked her car right in front of Zeline’s house. “It’s here, Miss. You may enter the house,” Kalea said politely and formally like a normal chauffeur.
Zeline rolled her eyes lazily, not wanting to argue with Kalea. “Suit yourself, but if he’s already being an asshole, let me know. I’ll punch him in the face so he can’t flirt with other women.”
Kalea laughed softly. “He’s been an asshole from the start, right?”
“Ah, you’re right. Thanks for the reminder and the ride too,” Zeline said as she took off her seat belt.
“Yeah, you’ve also been an impromptu driver for me,” Kalea replied with a simple smile.
The two girls said goodbye and Zeline went inside the house. Meanwhile, Kalea still had to cover more distance to reach the penthouse. Even until Kalea spent some time outside, Arthur had yet to contact her.
Kalea’s feelings were mixed, annoyed and sad mixed together. It was probably the first time Kalea had ever been this upset about not hearing from her sugar daddy at all. This must be related to her undeniable love for him.
As the clock struck eight in the evening, Kalea tried to keep herself busy so as not to think about Arthur all the time. She watched a movie while eating a lot of the cookies she had made earlier. Many people say that sweets can improve your mood.
She began to get lost in the film until she finally realized that someone had entered the penthouse. It was none other than Arthur. However, Kalea did not want to pay attention to the man; her eyes were still focused on watching. Now Arthur sat next to Kalea, his gesture was too casual as if nothing had happened, even though it had made Kalea dizzy.
“Hi,” Arthur greeted very casually, with a sweet smile on his lips. However, Kalea was very annoyed by that smile and thought it was the most idiotic smile ever.
Ignoring him, she put down the empty plate and picked up the other plate that still contained her cake.
“Hey, are you ignoring me?” Arthur asked confused, feeling completely innocent.
“Arthur, did you lose your cell phone?” Kalea asked back without looking at her sugar daddy.
“Huh? No... ah, sorry. I forgot to call you,” Arthur replied, his hand going to wrap around Kalea’s shoulder, but the girl quickly moved out of the way, shifting position to be further out of Arthur’s reach. “Are you mad?”
“Do you think I’m such a grain of dust that you won’t return my messages, or answer my calls?” replied Kalea, unable to contain her frustration that had been pent up all day.
Arthur was silent for a moment, looking down deeply until he finally looked back at Kalea with a serious but guilty look in his eyes. “Sorry, I spent time with another woman. We promised to meet,” Arthur replied, which immediately made Kalea feel like she was being attacked by many knives.
“I see,” Kalea replied. Of all the questions and rants she wanted to throw at Arthur, those were the only two words she could actually say. “Then why did you come back? Why didn’t you sleep at that woman’s place?”
“I didn’t want to leave you alone at night,” Arthur replied.
Kalea wanted to laugh out loud. She knew that from the moment the accident happened, Arthur had always been by her side. He was not having fun with other women and maybe today was his limit.
However, Arthur’s answer was really funny. Kalea really did not understand Arthur’s attitude, he could do sweet and bitter things at the same time.
And she stupidly fell in love with this jerk.
“Hey, Arthur. Do you think it’s scarier for me to get HIV or to get pregnant because of you?”
