Chapter 217 - 217. Naila's Decision
"Doc, how is Leo?" Naila asked the man.
Hearing someone speaks to him, the doctor turned to the side, "The operation went well, and Mr. Leo made it through his critical period," he replied.
Hearing that, Naila heaved a sigh of relief. \'Thank God,\' she thought.
"Then excuse me, Miss," said the doctor again.
"Okay, thank you, Doctor."
"You\'re welcome."
After the operation, Leo was then transferred to the VVIP room, it was all thanks to the money sent by Naila\'s parents.
"You can go in and see him, Miss. But don\'t disturb him," said a nurse who had just come out of the room where Leo was.
"Um, okay," said Naila, nodding. The girl then walked towards the door, raised one hand, and turned the doorknob, only her hand movement was suddenly stopped when a cell phone rang.
She reflexively closed the door that was already slightly ajar, choosing to pick up the incoming call on her cellphone.
"Hello, who is this?" Naila asked first because she didn\'t know the contact number that called her at this time.
"Miss Naila, it\'s me, Joy."
"Joy? Did my mother tell you to?"
"That\'s right, Miss. Madam asked us to pick you up at hospital X," answered the man named Joy from across the phone.
"Where are you guys now?"
"We are in the lobby of the hospital, Miss," answered Joy.
"Okay, wait for me there for a while, I still want to take care of something," replied Naila.
"Okay Miss," said Joy complied.
Naila then disconnected unilaterally, then immediately entered the room. Just put Leo\'s cell phone and wallet on the nightstand, then stared at the man in front of him for a few minutes. No words left her lips.
"Get well soon and call your family, I can\'t wait for you here until you wake up, honey," she said after a few minutes of silence.
"Hopefully we can meet again," she added, then slowly turned around. With reluctant steps, walked out of the room. Naila then reached into her pocket again and took out a flat-shaped object from there.
She almost forgot to contact Anna.
While on the other hand, Anna, who had returned to the house, was now sitting on the sofa in the living room, enjoying a glass of warm tea with some snacks that the maids had just brought for her. Since earlier, her mind has never left Leo and Naila, she is very worried about the man\'s condition.
Even though she and Leo had only known and become close recently, hearing that he had an accident and was in critical condition made Anna unable to calm down.
Suddenly her cell phone rang, the phone she had been waiting for finally rang. It was from Naila, Anna immediately picked it up.
"Hello," Naila preceded from the other side.
"Hello, Naila. How are things over there? Is the operation over?" asked Anna directly.
"Yes, the operation just finished, the doctor said Leo had passed his critical period and now he has been transferred to the VVIP room," Naila replied.
Immediately Anna breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the girl\'s answer, "Thank God, hasn\'t her family arrived yet?" asked Anna again.
"Not yet, Anna."
Hearing that, Anna fell silent.
"Emm Anna, I want to tell you something," Naila said when she didn\'t hear any response from her interlocutor.
"What is it? Say it, Naila. Feel free."
"I want to go away for a while, maybe I won\'t go home just yet, is that okay?"
"You want to go? Where?" Anna asked, her brow furrowed.
"My father is sick," said Naila briefly.
Hearing that, Anna suddenly became silent, as if she had run out of vocabulary. She had heard from Naila, that the girl had run away right on her wedding day.
"I have been talking to my mom on the phone, she said my dad was sick."
"You want to go back to your house?" asked Anna, a sentence more like a statement.
"It seems so."
"Okay, you should have done it a long time ago. Are you going straight home without seeing me first?" she asked.
"I\'m sorry Anna, someone has already picked me up here. Looks like I\'ll just go straight away," replied Naila.
"But don\'t worry, I\'ll keep in touch with you and if I have free time I will visit you and take you away from there. If possible I will ask my father and mother for permission to take you to live with me at home," she added at length with one breath.
"No, don\'t do it, Naila. I don\'t want to bother you. Just you remember me, that\'s more than anything for me," replied Anna.
"I wish your father a speedy recovery, and my greetings to your mother," she added.
"Alright, you take good care of yourself, Anna. If that woman comes again, just fight. Don\'t just stand by if someone insults you, okay?"
"Don\'t worry about me, Naila. I can take care of myself," replied Anna.
"Okay, Joy has been waiting for me since earlier," said Naila.
"Never change your number okay? So I can keep in touch with you and ask how you are," added Naila.
"Don\'t be lazy to eat."
"Don\'t push yourself if you\'re not feeling well."
"Also, don\'t ever feel alone. Even though I\'m back at my house, that doesn\'t mean I\'m leaving you and Dave."
"If you need anything, just give me a call, okay?" Naila chirped, her words resembled a mother about to be separated from her child.
"Okay, thanks, Naila," the woman replied.
"And you too, take care of your health," added Anna again
"Okay, I\'ll close. See you next time, Anna," said Naila.
"See you later, Naila," replied Anna.
And after that, the connection was lost. Instantly Anna felt her body weak without knowing why. Now she will only live alone with Dave, without someone Naila who is always chattering around her.
Suddenly she felt a change in herself, it felt like….empty?
"Mom, where\'s Auntie?" Dave suddenly asked. Makes the woman nervous.
"A-Auntie back home, honey."
"Aunt Naila also has a house? Why didn\'t she ever tell me?"
"Yes, dear. Auntie also has parents. Her father is sick, so she has to go home and see him," answered Anna, one hand grabbing Dave\'s arm, bringing the boy into her lap.
"Parents? Like Mom and Daddy?"
Hearing the word \'Daddy\' come out of Dave\'s mouth, Anna suddenly fell silent. Suddenly remembered with Devan.
"Aunt Naila\'s father, what\'s wrong with him, Mom? Is it bad?" Dave asked again, his eyes staring at Anna without blinking.
Hearing her son\'s question, Anna smiled, gently stroked Dave\'s head, then said, "I don\'t know honey."
"Hopefully Auntie\'s dad gets well soon, so Auntie can come back here and play with me."
"Yes, dear.. Hopefully, Aunt Naila\'s father will get well soon," replied Anna, repeating a small part of her son\'s sentence.
