Chapter 27

As soon as he received the news that his wife had an accident, at that moment Darwin decided to immediately go to the hospital. Driving his car at high speed, he finally arrived at the hospital. Visit the receptionist first, then be led by the medical team to go straight to the emergency room.

At the front of the room, Darwin could clearly see one of the medical team talking to a police officer. Approaching, he then immediately asked.

"Excuse me, is my wife in there?"

"Are you Darwin Morales Khiel?" asked the police officer.

"Yes," nodded Darwin. "I am Darwin, husband of Velove Vexia Fernando. What actually happened to my wife, sir?"

The police officer nodded. Invite Darwin to stand beside him, then slowly explain what really happened.

"So, the SUV that your wife was driving was hit by a cargo truck while crossing the KS Tubun road. The black car that Mrs. Velove was driving was dragged for several meters, until it finally stopped and then got stuck in one of the road dividers. It is strongly suspected that it was the truck driver who negligent due to drowsiness while driving the vehicle."

Darwin's heart was beating wildly. Hearing what the police officer told him, he was even more curious about Velove's current state. I hope that something serious will happen to the wife in this unfortunate incident this morning.

"B-but how is my wife, sir?"

"For a medical explanation, let the doctor inform Mr. Darwin. Visually, for your own vehicle, the damage is severe on the back and sides. We have secured the driver himself at the police station."

"I don't care about the state of the car, sir. As for the driver's business, let my assistant go directly to the police station to take care of everything."

The police officer nodded. Then he invited Darwin to continue hearing the explanation from one of the doctors who had previously treated Velove.

"How is my wife, doc? She's fine, right?"

The male doctor immediately nodded.

"So far, Mrs. Velove's condition is not worrying, sir. Several checks have been carried out. Most likely the Air Bag feature in the car is functioning optimally so that it can protect Mrs. Velove from all kinds of collisions. It's just that, there are indeed some abrasions on her body. And she had complained that his ankles felt cramped and painful.

"Then, is it dangerous, doc?"

The doctor then shook his head.

"We have checked. There are no fractures or bleeding to worry about. It could be that the pain and cramps are arising from a sprain or it could be due to the shock of what happened. For that, I suggest Mrs. Velove to stay at the hospital first. one to two days to be sure of her condition. If until tomorrow there are no complaints, your wife can undergo outpatient treatment."

Darwin breathed a sigh of relief. At least the doctor has explained that his wife's condition so far is fine.

"Then can I visit him?"

"Yes, Mr. Darwin. Please visit after your wife is transferred to the treatment room."

It took Darwin about 30 minutes to wait for all the processes. From the last check or observation, the transfer procedure was continued, until finally he was invited to meet Velove in the treatment room.

"Ve..." Darwin called when he entered the room. He could see his wife lying on the bed looking at him. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry," he said sincerely when he was standing right on the side of the bed, where Velove was lying.

"Apologize for what?" surprised Velove with a voice that sounded almost a whisper.

"If you left with me this morning, there's no way this would have happened. I really didn't mean for you to be like this."

Darwin's face filled with regret. Even though the doctor has confirmed that the wife's condition so far is good, she still feels bad. Velove should not have left alone this morning.

"I'm fine. Besides, the doctor has also confirmed that there's nothing serious like a broken bone or the like. So, you don't have to feel guilty. I should be the one apologizing to you."

Darwin pulled his face in. Now, it was his turn to feel surprised after hearing that Velove even apologized.

"You didn't do anything wrong, what are you apologizing for?"

"Because of me, your car is badly damaged, Win. But, I promise, as soon as possible I will ask the mechanic to repair it."

Darwin chuckled. After taking it seriously, it turns out that his wife apologized for the case of his car which was badly damaged due to an accident this morning.

"Gosh, Ve. My car doesn't matter whether it's broken or what. It doesn't need to be repaired either. It's easy, I can buy it again. But, if you're the one doing something wrong, where can I find a replacement? Your father can kill him if he finds out I'm not good enough take care of you like this."

Velove even chuckled. From Darwin's expression and expression, it was clear that the man was scared and very worried.

"But, speaking of Papa, have you told him about my accident this morning?"

Darwin shook his head slowly.

"No. I haven't had a chance to tell anyone yet."

"That's it. You don't need to tell me everything. It'll be complicated and Papa will think about it. Besides, I'm fine too."

"Are you sure you don't want to tell Papa?"

"No need," shook Velove. "Then, what happened to me? Have you taken care of it?"

"Enough. I've asked my assistant to go to the police station to take care of all this. So, you don't need to worry."

"Okay, since everything's been taken care of, let's just go home now. Besides, I'm fine, right? Just a scratch and ankle pain, really."

Darwin shook his head. He of course flatly refused Velove's request to go home immediately.

"You can't go home now, Ve. The doctor suggests you have to wait a day or two to make sure the pain and cramps in your legs are serious or not."

"I'm fine, Win."

"Okay, don't protest too much. It's better for you to rest first. I'm going out for a while because I have to call my secretary to cancel some of today's agenda."

"It's fine if you want to go back to the office, Win. Besides, there are a lot of nurses here to look after me."

"I'm not crazy, okay. Playing around like there's no sin," Darwin chuckled. How could he also leave Velove alone in the hospital. However, he has a heart. Moreover, one of the causes of Velove being admitted to the hospital like this was him.

"But, I really---"

"Sstssts," Darwin hissed immediately while bringing his index finger. Put it right on top of Velove's lips. "It's noisy. Now, hurry up and rest so you can recover quickly, then go home quickly."

Darwin then tightened the blanket that previously covered Velove's body. Forcing the woman to immediately rest like what he had ordered. After making sure his wife was asleep, then he chose to leave the room so he could call his secretary in the office.

"Mr. Darwin, may I meet Velove?"

Darwin, who happened to leave the room that afternoon to buy mineral water, accidentally ran into Deasy. Out of nowhere the woman knew that Velove was being treated at the hospital. What was clear, Darwin felt relieved because Deasy had come to the hospital without inviting or bringing along Nathan.

"You know where Velove entered the hospital?" Darwin inquired curiously.

"During recess, I deliberately called Velove with the intention of wanting to take him to lunch. From there I knew that Velove had an accident and had to be hospitalized. That's why, when I got home from work, I decided to visit him right away."

Darwin looked closely. Raising an eyebrow, the man asked a question.

"You yourself?"

Deasy immediately nodded.

"Yeah, I'm alone."

"Then just go straight in. Velove is inside."

While Darwin continued with his plan to go buy drinks, Deasy immediately went into the treatment room to meet Velove.

Seeing that his best friend had come, Velove was of course happy. He, who was leaning back while watching television, at that moment stretched his arms, inviting Deasy to hug.

"Oh my gosh, Velove. How can you do this?" Deasy asked with a look of disbelief after seeing some parts of her best friend's body covered in cuts and abrasions.

"Normally, I'm unlucky. But, I'm okay," Velove replied casually as if there was no burden. After all, he did feel fine.

"But, why are you injured like this? How is your husband taking care of him?"

"It has nothing to do with Darwin, Des," Velove defended. "Anyway, this accident was purely the negligence of the driver who was sleepy driving the vehicle. So the car that I was driving was rammed into a road divider."

"Good grief." Deasy exclaimed. The woman's head shook in disbelief. "Still, your husband is wrong. Why let you bring your own car? Haven't you agreed to go to and from work together?"

"Yes, this morning Darwin did have a meeting outside. That's why I decided to bring my own car."

Velove just kept on grinning. Too lazy to tell what actually happened. He didn't want to complicate things. After all, Deasy likes to be out of place when she's talking. It's just afraid when you say all kinds of things, Darwin even hears it and finally a misunderstanding arises.

"Then what did the doctor say? Are you really okay?"

Velvet nodded.

"Don't worry. I didn't break a bone or anything. You can go home tomorrow too."

"Thank goodness for that. Then, did you tell Nathan?"

Now, it was Velove's turn to shake his head. He thought, why should he tell Nathan about what was happening to him at this time.

"Never mind Nathan, my father didn't even know that I was in the hospital."

Deasy stared in astonishment. Of course he was curious why Velove even seemed to be hiding his condition.

"Why didn't you tell Uncle Darius? Your father has the right to know, Ve. What if something goes wrong?"

"Proves that I'm okay, right? Besides, it's just too lazy to make my daddy worry. You know he has a heart disease."

"Surely Darwin asked you not to tell people about this problem, right?"

Velvet clucked. Basically Dessy didn't like Darwin, her best friend always underestimated her husband.

"No, Des. I'm the one who's too lazy to tell anyone."

"Including Nathan too?"

Velove nodded repeatedly.

"Why should I tell Nathan?"

"How are you doing?" Wondered Deasy. "He's your girlfriend. It's a pity if you don't tell me."

"In the past, the status was indeed a girlfriend," Velove corrected. "Now I've turned into an ex. And speaking of Nathan, why did you tell him about my marriage to Darwin which would last only six months. I was so completely wrong. Where did Nathan discuss this yesterday and was heard directly from Darwin. I It's not good, Des."

Deasy was taken aback. He became uncomfortable himself after knowing what happened.

"Yes, at first I just felt sorry for Nathan, who was really upset when he had to lose you. So I just told you about you and Darwin, it won't take long. I did that solely to cheer Nathan up so he wouldn't continue sad. Besides, the one who deserves to be your husband is him, Ve."

Velvet clucked. It's useless to be angry. After all, everything has happened.

"Next time, you don't need to tell Nathan about my relationship with Darwin, Des. I don't like it. If I tell you, it's enough to just keep it without you needing to pass it on to Nathan."

"So what? You're starting to like Darwin?" asked Deasy to the point.

"If Velove likes me, so what?"

From the direction of the door suddenly appeared Darwin. The man came in and immediately interrupted Deasy's previous words.

"Is there something wrong if Velove likes me?" asked the man once again.

Deasy and Velove glanced at each other. Only then did one of them speak to Darwin.

"Win, there's no need to continue. This isn't what you think.

Darwin nodded.

"Just relax, Ve. I'm just asking your best friend. So what if you like me? What business does he have with our household?"

"Mr. Darwin, I ----"

"Enough. No need to continue," interrupted Darwin. "I know how come you don't like me from the start and it's not a big problem. But please! You don't have to get too involved in my and Velove's household affairs."

Deasy seemed silent. Not a single word came out of his mouth.

"I think the visiting time is more than enough. Besides, Velove should also go back to rest."

Hearing Darwin's words that clearly asked him to leave immediately, Deasy finally chose to say goodbye to Velove. Stepping out before Darwin sprayed him again.
