Chapter 318 - Alex's Honesty
"Flirty boy," Dean muttered.
"He's not flirty, but he's friendly," Bryana said, walking hand in hand with Dean until she turned into another corridor that led to the door to the VVP room where Alex was being treated. She smiled glancing at her son who seemed happy to be invited out of the house and enjoying another atmosphere.
Arriving at the intended room, Bryana and Dean immediately entered and found Alex had just undergone an examination by a doctor who would soon leave the room with a nurse.
"How are things, Doc?" Bryana asked as Dean approached Alex.
"Already better. Probably not allowed to be discharged from the hospital for the next week," replied the doctor, who was a man in his 40s wearing black-rimmed cylindrical glasses and a white medical coat.
"That's good news, thank you, Doc," Bryana said with a warm smile.
"You're welcome, ma'am," said the doctor and then immediately left the VVIP room which was white.
Bryana walked over to Alex who was still leaning on the bed in a better state. Her ex-husband was wearing a blue-and-white shirt which was the patient's clothes and was no longer using an oxygen tube as a breathing apparatus because his condition was stable.
"Hay. How are you, how are you feeling now?" Bryana asked casually then sat down in the chair while Dean remained standing.
"I feel better," Alex replied.
"Your wife isn't here?" Dean looked at the bathroom and the couch.
"She's not here anymore after last night. I think Louis already told you about what happened between me and my wife," Alex said with a bend in his face.
"I didn't expect her to be like that with Carlos," Bryana said, leaning back against the chair.
"She's like that because I don't have anything anymore and Carlos provides everything he needs. It's fine it means she doesn't want to be with me anymore, I'm contacting several lawyers to take care of my divorce with her," Alex explained with a stoic smile.
"Then what about Haikal?" asked Dean still holding Aidyn.
"I don't know... I'll try to get custody of her later after the official divorce. last night he cried because he didn't want to be separated from me, it was very painful," Alex replied then exhaled roughly, glancing at Aidyn who looked cute, making him remember Haikal, who he used to carry when he was five months old, like Aidyn.
"Hopefully he falls into your hands instead of being raised by a stepfather like Carlos!" cried Bryana curtly.
"Hopefully," said Alex.
"Oiya... How about Fin? You owe me an explanation about him. How do you know that he is Gustave's son? .and why did you hide the truth from us?" Dean immediately asked the question that had been on his mind since yesterday.
"Yes, please explain honestly because as a result of your dishonesty all this time, I almost became a victim of abuse by him!" cried Bryana firmly. She couldn't hide her annoyance when it came to Fin. She shuddered every time she remembered how Fin tricked her by acting nice, weak, and like a hero. "Because of him I almost got frustrated, remembering how you also tricked me back then."
Alex was silent for a moment starting at Bryana, who looked very disappointed in him, showing an expression of annoyance and anger that covered her heart. He became hesitant, to tell the truth, but it was all over and there was no reason to lie or make up stories.
"Alex, just say it. Don't make us curious and disappointed in you even more. We won't forget that you were the one who saved us yesterday," Dean exclaimed, realizing the discomfort in Alex.
"Bryana... Actually..." Alex looked doubtful. he closed his eyes for a moment remembering how Dean and Bryana had accepted him and allowed him to be close to Calvin, even they were very kind to Haikal. 'I have to say it, I have to!' he thought.
"Just say it, Alex..or I'll hate you again!" Bryana shouted.
"I shot the car that took you and your father. I did it with Carlos!" said Alex spontaneously.
After hearing Alex's confession, Bryana was silent, remembering that a few months ago, when she was pregnant, Gustave was suddenly kidnapped along with Calvin, Monica, and her father. She was in the car listening to his father arguing with Gustave until the car suddenly lost control and she started to feel the car hit another vehicle and at that time her father hugged her, tried to save her and ended up having to have a C-section, then her father died. after critical.
"So you shot the car?" Dean confirmed with all the pain in his heart remembering how he was so scared to see Bryana almost die from the accident.
"Yes, I did it with Carlos. We worked together on our own goals. Carlos wants to take revenge on you, and I want Bryana and her father to die in that accident so I can have Calvin and his legacy," Alex explained with a sad look. "I got my revenge after that. Fin kidnapped me because he couldn't accept Gustave's death. that's where I found out who Fin was."
"Why... Why are you so mean, Alex? Because of you, my father lost the chance to live longer with me, my family... He hasn't even had a chance to see my baby yet!" Bryana looked at Alex with teary eyes.
"Sorry, Bryana….At that time I was blinded by the ambition to make Elsa happy with the wealth of Calvin's legacy. But apparently, God rewarded me. I was kidnapped by Fin and held captive for three months. At that time I experienced suffering, but I realized that suffering was revenge for what I did to you during our married life," Alex explained with all regret. "If you don't want to forgive me, it's okay. After recovering I will turn myself into the police."
"You always carve a suffering for me, Alex. I don't know what to do ... yesterday you saved me and my husband, made me think that you are a bad person but still have a good heart, but you are that bad? I don't know what else to say... I'm dizzy! It's too painful!" Bryana couldn't hold back her tears. She even often regretted her father's death too soon, she didn't get to see her son and didn't even get to see Raymond's descendants.
"Bryana...Forgive me .... "
"Then why did you hide about Fin from us?" asked Dean trying to keep his calm even though he was pissed off. Even Aidyn who was in his arms fell asleep just like that.
"Because I don't want Fin to tell you that fact. I'm afraid you won't allow me to see Calvin again," Alex replied.
"Whatever your reasons, all the suffering I've been through is almost because of you! I hate you!" Bryana snapped, then got up from the chair. She rushed out of the room and was immediately followed by Dean.
"I don't deserve to be forgiven. I have to turn myself into the police to account for what I did to her all this time," Alex muttered, staring sadly up at the door where Dean and Bryana walked away without saying goodbye.
