THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
59. Approximation

In a room, Nayla was lying with Rory sitting next to her, clasping her hand gently as her hand felt a deep scratch on Nayla's hand.

While the others were sitting on the long sofa that was in the room, sitting leaned back with tired faces.

Sometimes Rory's hand stroked Nayla's injured palm because she was idling something sharp.

Rory turned her head as she felt a touch on her shoulder, then smiled tiredly. Kevin looked at her worriedly.

"Rest,! I'll take care of him" Kevin said carefully.

Rory nodded weakly. "I still want to take care of him" replied Rory.

"You need to rest,!" kevin lgi said.

Rory ignored Kevin and turned her face away. He looked back at Nayla who was still unconscious. Relinquished his hand.

Kevin stepped back and sat back on the sofa joining the others.

"Is your hand okay, Kevin? I almost forgot about it" asked Thomas.

"If compared to him," said Kevin pointed at Nayla with his chin. "I don't know what this wound means to me" he continued.

Kevin cupped his palms on his face. Regretting everything that happened.

"It's not your fault, Kevin," comforted Thomas to pat her shoulder softly.

"Seeing from any angle, there is not the slightest space where I am innocent. And you know it, Thomas," wailed Kevin.

"Do you want to know something?" ask Thomas suddenly.

Kevin looked up at Thomas bangtung. Can't catch Thomas's point.

"What do you mean?" kevin asked, frowning.

"If he saw you like this, he wouldn't like it" Thomas said.

"I doubted that after everything that happened to him" Kevin said.

"I doubt your words" Thomas replied.

"How close do you know him?" search Kevin.

"We don't know Nayla as close as Rory knows her, but we trust her" Ethan said.

"Heh, you two have always been on his side" said Kevin scoffing at himself. "And I admit, I have indeed misjudged it," he added.

"I hope he wakes up soon" Kevin said.

The notification sound of the message sounded from Kevin's phone, and immediately opened it.

A message from Martin appeared to tell the perpetrators of the violence they arrested were unwilling to open their mouths when asked who told them to.

Martin goes to the police station after learning that Nayla is stable and decides to leave alone.

However, testimony from Kevin and Rory remains necessary for the investigation. They were asked to come the next day.

Kevin sighed softly after reading Martin's message.

"Did something bad happen?" ask Thomas.

"Rory and I were asked to come to the police station tomorrow morning" Kevin said.

"Then, you just have to come. I'll take care of Nayla. Let me convince Rory to go" Thomas said.

Kevin nodded slowly.

Unconsciously, they fell asleep from exhaustion. Similarly, Rory also fell asleep by putting his head in Nayla's bed without releasing his hand.

*The next day*

Kevin and Rory go to the police station after Thomas manages to convince Rory to keep going.

During Kevin and Rory's departure, the three of them (Thomas, Ethan and Nathan) take turns to guard next to Nayla.

Geck,,,

Geck,,,

Geck,,,

The sound of knocking on the door distracted them, and simultaneously turned towards the door.

Chris walked in with Irene behind him, appeared from behind the door and greeted them.

"The police station" replied Thomas.

"Is it related to the culprit?" ask Chris again.

"really. The police station needs the testimony of Rory and Kevin and also as witnesses of the violence they committed" Thomas said.

"Alright, it's normal. You can leave it to buy breakfast. I'm sure you haven't eaten anything since yesterday" Chris said after checking Nayla's condition.

"But--,,"

"You also need intake to be able to keep it, right?" Chris cut Thomas's speech.

Thomas is silent and throws a glance at each other with Ethan and Nathan.

"I'm going to buy food that's easy to eat, you two stay here" Ethan said.

"Irene will stay here to take care of her if you're still worried about it" Cris said.

"I believe he can do his job well, but we just want to keep him" Ethan said.

"Well if that's what you want, call me if you need anything. I still have to check on other patients, I'll be back later" Chris relented.

They nodded in understanding and thanks before Chris left the room.

As with the previous deal, Ethan goes to buy food while Nathan and Thomas look after Nayla.

After Ethan's death, Thomas returns to Nayla, who is still lying. He wondered in his heart.

'If the doctor is Nayla's sister, then the funeral isn't Nayla mentioning the word brother at that time?' inner Thomas.

'Why does everything feel so complicated? Does he have two brothers? Rory doesn't even know anything because Nayla didn't tell him anything? How many secrets did you keep Nay?'

Thomas continued to wonder in his heart. Thinking wants to ask Chris everything, but his time and condition do not support him.

"He's Nayla's sister, but why doesn't he have the slightest resemblance?" nathan broke the silence. Decide Thomas's mind.

"What do you mean,?" ask Thomas.

"Aren't you aware of it?" nathan asked back.

"They don't look like brothers at all" Nathan said.

"We just don't know what the story behind it is. But I believe what the doctor said," Thomas said.

"In addition, his reaction did show the figure of a brother who loved his sister. Didn't you see it? He's even ready to kill anyone who hurts his sister" he continued.

"That makes sense, but I don't know, I just feel like something's weird" Nathan said.

"Because he gave the impression like he loved Nayla as a man?" guess Thomas.

"One of them" replied Nathan.

"You know? Sometimes one would rather close his secret meeting when it was too painful to say, moreover it would make him recall what they wanted to forget. Maybe that's the secret that Nayla always kept all this time" said Thomas.

"Hahh,,," Nathan sighed. " Among us, you are the wisest here. Is that because you're the only one married here?" greet Nathan.

"I'm just looking at it from a different point of view" Thomas argues. " But I learned something new when I got to know Nayla. He can overcome whatever is in front of him while maintaining his smile" said Thomas.

"I agree on that" Nathan said.

Suddenly, Nayla's fingers showed movement. Tears flowed back from her eyes that were still closed.

"I'll call the doctor" Nathan said quickly and immediately left Thomas.

Coinciding with the closed door, Nayla again muttered the words that made Thomas unable to stop thinking about her.

"Sister, Nick, Nick,,,"

Nayla delirious for a moment. One second later it was quiet again. There was no more movement that Thomas had seen before.

Door opens. Nathan entered with Irene behind him. Irene immediately checked on Nayla and said everything was fine.

"For now it is safe. We just pray the condition does not decline" said Irene to reassure them.

Thomas nodded and thanked, letting Irene back leave them.

"He really worries me" Nathan said after Irene closed the door.

Even so, nathan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Nayla was fine.
