Chapter 365 - Forgiveness For Peace
At night, Bryana was alone with Dean in the treatment room, but there was Dany who was sitting on guard in the waiting chair in front of the room because he didn't want any further attacks that might come from Kareen's or Gio's men.
Right now, Bryana was sitting eating the chicken soup Susan sent for her while Dean was making Lily's special porridge.
"I don't have an appetite," Bryana mumbled, putting the half bowl of soup back on the table.
"You have to eat to be healthy," exclaimed Dean, who was sitting on a pile of pillows. He was still on an oxygen tube and had a bandage around his head, but was able to sit up and eat on his own.
"I miss the kids....especially Aidyn..since last night I ignored him and now I can't be with him either," Bryana said sadly.
"You want him here?" asked Dean.
Bryana shook her head. "If he comes here, it will be uncomfortable to stay and sleep here."
"Then you'll have to eat a lot to get healthy again ... you can go home and sleep with the kids," Dean shouted, trying to persuade. he continued to eat the porridge made by his mother which tasted bad because his tongue tasted bitter from the pain and always took medicine because his head was still very dizzy. "Look I'm still eating even though it doesn't taste good...I'm like this because I want to get well soon because I'm obligated to take care of you... Especially since you're pregnant. I do not want to burden you. I want to pamper you like this morning."
"If I return home.. you should also return home...I can't let you continue here and will be far from me," Bryana exclaimed spoiled.
"Yes, honey. Hopefully, we can go home together. Hopefully, I'll get better soon. I don't like this," said Dean holding out his hand to stroke Bryana's hair.
Check...
Alex came into the infirmary with Anna. He invited his new wife to approach his ex-wife who was sitting beside her husband's bed.
"How are you, Dean?" asked Alex with a warm smile.
"As you can see ... .I'm still very weak," Dean replied casually.
Alex turned to glance at Bryana who looked still as pale as this afternoon, then looked back at Dean. "I didn't think that there were still people who didn't like your family to commit crimes like this even when you're not under bodyguards."
"I didn't expect that because Kareen was released sooner than we thought," Bryana said wearily then thought of Calvin. "Is Calvin still staying at your house?"
"Yes...I think he should be with me while you're sick, so it won't be too much trouble for your babysitter," Alex explained a little cautiously because he knew that Bryana was still a bit sensitive to him.
"I heard you're pregnant again. Is that so?" asked Anna with an awkward smile but trying to get used to it. She feels so inferior to the ex-wife of her husband who looks so much more perfect, rich... She feels like a grain of dust to him.
"Eh... Yes...God gave us another baby," Bryana replied with a smile at Anna who was trying to be close to her. "Hope you get pregnant soon, give a sister to Calvin."
Anna just nodded with a shy smile but in her heart said, 'I haven't even had my first night with Alex yet.'
Alex smiled glancing at Anna then turned to look at Dean's casted right leg. "What's wrong with your leg, did you break a bone?" he asked.
"No. It's just a minor injury. It's just'| My head is pretty bad," Dean replied as he handed Bryana a bowl of porridge to put on the table.
"In that case, thank God." Alex breathed a sigh of relief. .he turned to get Anna a chair while he sat on Bryana's unused bed.
There was a moment of silence between them until someone came into the room. He was Raymond with Monica without taking Madeline. they carried a bag that probably contained Dean and Bryana's clothes.
Alex who was initially relaxed, suddenly awkward and a little nervous looked at Raymond who had not opened his heart for forgiveness for him. Monica immediately greeted Anna in a friendly manner, after which she placed the bag containing the clothes on the sofa. Anna also went to the sofa and sat there with Monica while Raymond sat beside Alex.
"Thanks for helping my wife," Raymond said without looking at Alex.
"That's nothing compared to what I've done to you," said Alex, bending his face.
Raymond sighed, glanced at Alex who he realized was much different, looked more friendly when he used to be very arrogant. "If you remember how our past was, the past about your ugliness to me, to be honest, I'm still annoyed'|.but as someone who has grown up, it's good for us to act normal and bury the dark past for the sake of our mutual comfort."
"Does that mean you forgive me?" asked Alex turning to look at Raymond.
"Because you're good... I forgive you," Raymond replied with a smile.
"You are a good man, just like Bryana and ... your father," said Alex but ended with a look full of regret because he remembered that he had killed Stefan. "If I hadn't shot the car. . . . Maybe your father would still be here among you."
"And if you don't do that until you get tormented by Fin, maybe you still be bad guys, still with greedy Elsa," Bryana said without looking back.
"Every incident must have its wisdom..there is no point in regretting, because the most important thing is, we always pray for the peace of the late daddy, and we always get along. Daddy will be happy in heaven to see our harmony," said Raymond patiently. I don't know what advice he has received so that he becomes very patient and even forgives Alex.
"Besides, you won't be able to bring dad back to our side," Bryana said still curtly.
Dean held out his hand to hold Bryana's, then shook his head as if warning her not to be harsh or hold grudges.
"From that accident also finally Gustave who became our family's biggest enemy died, then father also died. Their deaths seem to signal that we must stop being enemies," said Raymond remembering when his father was alive, Gustave was still alive his family was far from safe. "They died like ... to solve their problems."
"But it still hurts because it was Alex and Carlos who shot the car. We just let them go free," said Bryana, always annoyed when she remembered about Carlos and Alex who had both hurt her. left a deep sense of trauma for her.
"Most importantly ... Alex has changed and our family is no longer enemies. Because we don't want to jail Carlos, Carlos has stopped bothering us," said Dean.
"Yeah. You're right Dean. peaceful resolution of the problem will end hostility and our lives become comfortable. And maybe If I didn't go too far or get confused they would also hold such a deep grudge against us," said Raymond with a bend in his face. "This afternoon, Kareen was decided to be rehabilitated instead of jailed because she has mental problems."
"Is she crazy?" Bryana frowned at Raymond.
"I don't know. The psychologist's been examining her for the past few days," Raymond replied.
"And she did because of me," Dean said in a disappointed tone. He felt that he had made Kareen, who was originally a good girl, become a bad person because he was constantly rejected. But he can't do anything, because love can't be forced. 'One day I will meet her, try to make her understand about my feelings and her feelings,' he thought.
