Chapter 57

Samuel really couldn't avoid anxiety and worry when she found Ariana who had fallen ill. The asthma that Ariana had suddenly relapsed and made the woman feel very uncomfortable to do any activity.

Taking her to the doctor, Ariana was asked to undergo recovery and complete rest for two full days. Ascertaining that his condition was much better, today, Samuel decided to bring his wife to return to Indonesia immediately.

Apart from the frequent relapses of the disease, South Korea is entering winter. Of course, Samuel was worried that Ariana's illness would get worse because her body would not be able to tolerate the cold.

That's why, instead of taking risks that would later make his wife feel bad, Samuel decided to return to Indonesia. He thought, when he was at home and in his own country, Ariana could be more comfortable and free. Even a family doctor can also be called at any time.

"Have you prepared all of Ariana's equipment?" asked Darwin when he, Samuel, and also Ariana were waiting for the plane in the departure lounge. In the end, Samuel decided to return to Indonesia with her cousin after nearly two weeks in Korea.

Samuel nodded. Opening his bag, checking once again the emergency equipment for Ariana that he had prepared.

"That's it, really. Inhaler, extra gloves, and I've put some medicines in one bag so you don't get confused about taking them. Hopefully when she airs out later, Ariana will be fine. At least I can't sleep or rest comfortably."

"Tomorrow, when you arrive in Indonesia, it's better if you take Ariana for treatment. Go to therapy, or take her to an expert. Yes, even though as far as I know Asthma can't be completely cured, at least it's minimized. In the past, my friends were the same, like relapse like this. But, after undergoing several treatments from doctors, the asthma is rare, in fact, it almost never recurs again."

Samuel listened so seriously then weighed heavily. It seems that it is necessary to bring his wife for more intensive treatment.

"Incidentally, when I go home, I still have one more week. I think I'll just use it to take him for treatment or therapy."

Samuel then turned to Ariana who was leaning on the sofa next to her. Because he was still not too fit, his wife was more silent.

As soon as the plane they were traveling on had entered the schedule for take off, slowly Samuel helped Ariana to stand up. After that, he embraced his wife intimately to step towards the plane. What about Darwin? The man gets to carry both suitcases. It is his fate to be his cousin's mosquito repellent.

"Are you still having trouble catching your breath?"

After being on the plane and already sitting in the passenger seat, Samuel confirmed Ariana's condition once again. Even though his wife had repeatedly confirmed that she was okay, Samuel still felt worried.

"It's not anymore, Ken. I'm already feeling better."

"You are sure?"

Ariana nodded.

"Certain."

"But, if you have shortness of breath and need artificial respiration, don't be shy or shy. I'm happy to help you, honey."

Ariana chuckled. There is always someone who wants her husband to take advantage of her.

"That's what you want. But, Ken. When I arrive in Indonesia, can I ask for something or not?" asked Ariana suddenly. His face, which had been relaxed before, suddenly turned serious. Samuel could see that clearly.

"What do you want, honey?"

"Tomorrow, I want you to cook Indonesian food. It's up to you, the important thing is that you make it special for me."

"That's easy. As long as you're at home, let me cook for you. Now, it's time to rest. As soon as you arrive in Indonesia, I'll wake you up."

Samuel laughed happily. Seeing his wife match the food he just served made him satisfied.

"Want me to feed it as usual?"

Ariana shook her head. Decline politely the offer that her husband proffered.

"You don't have to, baby. I can do it myself. You don't eat yourself?"

"Not yet. I'm going to take a shower first. Then, enjoy your breakfast. I'll be going to my room in a moment, then get ready."

Ariana's brow immediately furrowed. In fact, he knew that Samuel didn't have this heart. Then, want to get ready where her husband is.

"Where are you going? Aren't you still in suspension?"

Samuel nodded.

"You don't want to go to work, honey."

"So what?"

"Did you forget? We're going to the hospital to check your condition. At the same time, consult with an expert about your asthma, how to handle it so it doesn't keep recurring."

Ariana nodded in understanding. He almost forgot about this one. In fact, last night Darwin, Samuel, and also her mother-in-law discussed it several times last night.

"Yes, just take a shower. After breakfast, I'll go upstairs."

After completing all the preparations, Samuel then took Ariana to the hospital her family frequented. When he got there, he immediately took his wife to see a pulmonary specialist to treat Ariana's illness.

You only need to wait 15 minutes, Ariana and Samuel have been invited by the nurse on duty to enter the practice room.

As soon as she was asked to sit down, Ariana jumped in surprise. Even the doctor who was in the room also showed the same expression.

"Ariana?"

"Raphael?"

"My goodness. It's been so long since I've seen you," said the doctor. From the look in his eyes, he seemed very happy because he had met Ariana's figure.

"Yeah. Maybe I haven't seen him in five years."

"Please sit down first," said the young doctor.

If you look at his age, he is still very young. His smile that was too friendly to Ariana made Samuel feel uncomfortable.

"How are you?"

"Fine. How about you? When are you going back to Indonesia?"

"I'm also very good. It's only been two years since I settled back in Indonesia."

Samuel rolled her eyes in disgust. Fun to tell himself, his figure seemed not to be considered by Ariana, even by the doctor in front of him. Is his body not big enough to be neglected as it is now?

"Ahem!" Samuel deliberately cleared her throat loudly. He wanted the two people who were letting go of longing in front of him to realize his existence. "Sorry, we're going to have a medical consultation, right? How come it's become a place to miss."

After being reprimanded, Ariana and the doctor both fell silent because they felt uncomfortable, Ariana took the initiative to introduce her husband to who the doctor really was.

"Samuel, introduce yourself. This is Raphael. He's an old friend of mine."

Samuel nodded, then accepted the prodding hand from the doctor in front of her.

"Raphael."

"Samuel."

Continuing with her goal, Ariana then told all of her complaints that she felt and had. Having undergone an examination, the doctor then conveyed the results of his observations.

"Asthma treatment itself can be adjusted according to the patient's condition. The aim is to relieve asthma symptoms, prevent recurrence of symptoms, and reduce swelling and narrowing of the respiratory tract. The method can be in the form of administering drugs or surgery," explained the doctor to Samuel and Ariana.

"Then, what action should be taken at this time? Because a few days ago, this disease even had a relapse," Ariana asked.

"Although difficult to prevent, there are efforts that can be done to avoid asthma attacks."

"Like anything, doc?" This time it was Samuel who asked.

"You can try influenza and pneumonia vaccines regularly. Carry out periodic checks if the disease doesn't improve. Look for triggers and then avoid them. And lastly, take the medicine I have prescribed."

Ariana finally did the vaccination first following the doctor's advice. Then a prescription was given for the woman to redeem and consume later.

"Drink everything regularly and according to the dosage. If you have any complaints, you can contact me or go straight to the hospital for follow-up examinations."

Doctor Raphael then took a business card which was neatly arranged in a box on his desk. Without the slightest hesitation handed it to Ariana.

"You can consult if something emergency happens."

Ariana nodded. Then say goodbye to immediately redeem the drug. Once home and on the way home, she felt something strange about her husband.

Since leaving the hospital, he's been silent. Even his face looked irritated. It was very different from when they left earlier.

Curious, Ariana immediately reprimanded. She was also curious about what really happened to her husband.

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you stay silent."

Samuel turned. Throwing a sinister glance, the man chuckled.

"What's wrong with you. The doctor was really close. How could someone just be a friend, but that's his attitude."

"You are jealous?"

"Yeah. How can you not be jealous when you see the doctor looking at your face that way. I'm friends, I've never looked at the opposite sex like that."

"Yes, maybe because Rapahel remembers the past," said Ariana.

"You mean?"

"So, doctor Raphael was my ex. We broke up because he had to continue studying abroad."

Samuel gasped. He didn't even expect the information Ariana had just conveyed. No wonder the doctor showed an unusual attitude to his wife.

"Jeez, so he's your ex?"

Ariana nodded innocently.

"Yes. I had a year more dating with him."

Samuel's face grew even more irritated. Not to mention Ariana who was so casual about her past.

"No need to be jealous, Samuel. Besides, I'm already your wife too," Ariana coaxed trying to melt Samuel's heart again.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Tomorrow, we'll just go to Singapore for treatment."

"Why so far away?"

"Let your ex not be as excited as before."

Ariana could only laugh. But seeing Samuel who was jealous like now, he was also exasperated. It's just happy because her husband was afraid that he would be taken by someone else.
