BXBX NOVEL Chapter 348 - Hospital
The doctor's brow furrowed at the words of the woman in front of him.
"I'm also a doctor. I'm duty at hospital X. I can't do anything here because it would be against the rules. I can only count on you as the doctor on duty here. Trust me, I will not do bad anything to you, I'm just worried about my grandson," said Seira.
"Alright, madam. You ddoesn'thave to worry," said the doctor, nodding. Then say goodbye and go from here.
"Honey, we better tell Devan and Mr. Aaron about this," said Mr. Atmadja to his wife.
Seira looked up and nodded.
While Brian, the man approached Seira and Mr. Atmadja.
"Sir, Madame, then I want to say goodbye to go home. I hope your grandson is fine, I'm sorry if I did something you don't like," Brian said while bowing respectfully. This was out of his habit, he never bowed to anyone other than his adoptive father.
Brian is very aware of the situation and with whom he is currently dealing. Suppresses his ego and pride to prevent new problems from arising.
"If I may ask, what is your name, sir? And what family do you come from? I want to send a gift to your family for saving my grandson," asked Mr. Atmadja.
"Ah. You don't need to know about who I am, Sir. I'm just someone who comes from an ordinary family, and thanks for your good intentions, however, I feel I don't deserve it. I saved your grandson willingly, I don't expect anything in return, sir," Brian replied at length.
"Since you are here, then my job is done, I want to say goodbye, sir," added Brian, he bowed again and left. Left Mr. Atmadja and Seira without giving the two figures a chance to reply.
"There's no need to chase him. At least Dave's been found, honey. Looks like he also has other things to do, let him go," said Mrs. Seira while holding the arm of Mr. Atmadja who seemed to want to chase the foreign man.
"Think of this as God's help to us," she added.
Hearing that, Mr. Atmadaja took a deep breath and then nodded, "Okay, then call our son," he said.
Elsewhere, Devan and Leo are still in the hospital, in the room where Mr. Javier is being treated.
The nurse had just left the room after checking Javier's condition.
Almost an hour had passed, and there had been no news and no sign of Dave. This made Devan restless and unable to calm down.
Suddenly his cell phone rang. His mother's name was printed on the screen of his cell phone. Devan immediately answered the call.
Mrs. Seira told what happened without subtracting or adding anything.
"What?" Devan reflex stood up from his position. It made Leo and Edrick wonder when they saw the man's surprised reaction.
"Are you serious, Mom? So how is his condition now?" asked Devan, his fists clenched tightly, looking at Edrick with his very sharp eyes, and it made Edrick break out in a cold sweat.
"Dave is in the ICU now, honey. You'd better come over here now and see his condition firsthand."
"Alright, Mom. I and the others will be there soon. Ah yes, did Mister Aaron know about this?" he asked.
"I was planning to call him after telling you, honey."
"Okay," said Devan.
After that, the connection is lost.
"What's wrong? Why do you react like that, Devan?" Leo asked.
"Dave has been found, he is currently in the same hospital as Grandma," Devan replied.
He then turned to Edrick, his jaw clenched "Don't think that my son has been found and I will release you and your family. Just pray for Dave's safety, otherwise, the only person to blame in this situation is your family, mind you," Devan said while pointing right at Edrick's face. Making the man's guts instantly shrink.
Devan and Leo then left the room. Left so many questions in Edrick's mind.
As the two men disappeared behind the door, Edrick fell to the floor. He felt the muscles of his body were weak as if his body had no energy at all.
"What happened?" he muttered then reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out his cell phone.
He immediately contacted Brian to make sure everything.

In the middle of the highway in Sydney, Edward drove his car leisurely. He was with Byanca, currently, they were on their way to the house, to be precise the Javier family's residence.
"Why have you been silent since earlier, honey? Did I do something wrong?" Edward asked, turning for a moment to the woman sitting next to him.
Byanka shook her head slowly. "I don't know, I feel really bad," she said.
"Why? Are you worried about something?" Edward asked.
Byanca was silent. "Edward, what if I go back to the apartment? Are you okay if I leave you alone?" asked Byanca after a moment of silence.
"Huh? What do you mean? Why do you want to go back to the apartment, honey?"
"I've been thinking about Dave for a while. Maybe we should move to another hotel or apartment, Edward," Byanca replied.
"But why, honey? Why are you suddenly like this?"
"I don't know, I'm just afraid someone will find out, Edward. Remember, Dave has been missing for twenty-four hours. I'm afraid, I'm afraid my plan will fail," Byanca replied with a deep breath.
"Do not worry dear. No one will know about this. Do you remember the arrival of my father and little brother yesterday? They didn't even suspect anything, let alone the Smiths? So don't worry anymore, OK?"
"But..."
"Alright, alright. After coming home from the hospital later, let's find a new place, honey," said Edward.
"Is that true?" Byanca turned.
Edward nodded, "I'll do anything for you, honey."
Hearing that, Byanca smiled happily. Not in vain, she gave her body to Edward. She did not expect the man to comply with all her wishes. In her heart, Byanca was praising her luck.
A few minutes after the conversation, Edward frowned. Several black cars seemed to be following him from behind.
'Ah maybe it's just my feelings,' he is trying to think positively.
But as time went on, it became clearer.. Especially when he turns at a crossroads, that cars do the same.
