An hour passed and there was no sign of Alden's surgery being completed. Mommy Lanny recently came with Mama Mira who was ready to bring a change of clothes for Annabelle.
Yudha had to leave because there was an appointment with a patient at her old practice. Lusia also had to return to the practice room schedule a visit before the afternoon practice.
”Later in the afternoon I picked you up here,” Yudha said as the two waited for the elevator door to open.
“If you can ask for help pick up Yudis and immediately bring it home ? I came home alone by taxi, more practical and efficient.”
“You sure you're okay to go home alone ?” Yudha squinted her eyes to make sure Lucia.
“Yes, I'll be wary of Gerry,” Lucia nods confidently with a smile.
Just as the elevator door opened, Lucia's phone shook. Emergency call from the hospital.
“I have to go to the operating room now. There are pregnant women who have an accident and must be operated on immediately.”
“Ya already, you go directly there.”
Yudha took the opportunity to steal a kiss on Lucia's cheek which immediately blushed.
The relationship between the two has not been published because their position is still the same new doctor here who entered the reference Daddy Wira.
Lucia immediately entered the operating room that has been informed by the hospital.
After a while Iskandar's doctor, an obgyn specialist performed a cesarean section, a baby girl was successfully born with a gestational age of 30 weeks.
The premature baby survived despite having to be treated in an incubator while his mother fell into a coma.
Lusia was out with obgyn and anesthesiologist who handled the emergency delivery process.
Lucia's eyes immediately puffed up when she saw two pairs of parents standing outside the operating room and a man claiming to be the husband of the woman's patient.
“Overall the baby is healthy just his weight is slightly below normal and still needs to be treated in an incubator,”, said Lucia when she got the opportunity to provide an explanation.
Gerry, the man standing in front of him looked at Lucia with a sad face while the middle-aged woman known to Lucia as Mama Gerry had since narrowed her eyes, trying to remember the figure of Lucia who was still wearing a scrub.
After finishing giving an explanation, the team of doctors resigned themselves including Lucia who was reluctant to talk at length with Gerry and his parents.
“Doctor wait !” the voice of the middle-aged woman stopped the footsteps of the team of doctors who had just stepped up.
“Sorry, I can talk to you for a moment, doctor ?” Mama Gerry was already standing in front of Lucia.
“Please, Mom. Excuse us first,” Iskandar's most senior doctor answered Mama Gerry's request and gestured for Lucia to stay.
“Some I can help you, Mistress ?” Lucia smiled and was forced to put on a friendly face.
“You're that girl right?” mama Gerry's arrogant tone made Lusia want to quickly leave.
“Ma,” Gerry reprimands him when his position is near Lucia and her mother.
“Thank you for helping deliver Indri, Lus,” Gerry said sincerely.
“It's my responsibility as a doctor, excuse me.”
Reluctant to linger with Gerry's family, Lucia walked to the elevator. Unexpectedly, Gerry came in and stood beside Lucia.
“Can you ask for a minute ?” gerry Pinta
“I have a duty visit then practice. Maybe could another time.”
“Just a minute, Lus. About our son.”
Lucia's eyes immediately glared because in the elevator there were several nurses who immediately glanced when they heard Gerry's words.
Lucia snorted in annoyance as she exited the elevator on the ground floor. He forgot that his clothes were still in the locker near the operating room.
“You talk what ?” ask Lucia before entering her room.
Gerry just stared at Lucia without saying a word. After seeing his watch, Lucia stopped going into his room and walked to the cafe in the hospital lobby.
His hand picked up the phone and sent Yudha a message.
(LUSIA) Apparently the woman who had the accident was his wife Gerry and now her husband asked for time to talk. I took her to the front cafe.
“You talk what ?” lusia asked after the two sat facing each other.
“About us.”
“I have absolutely no interest in your personal life, Ger. And there are no more of us because we are just two strangers who just met.”
“Newborn child is not my son but an Indri child with another boy.”
Lucia had briefly knitted her brows, feeling a little strange with Gerry's words.
“Contin ?”
“Sorry that my arrival yesterday made a bad impression. I was really stressed and feeling depressed back then.”
“Sorry Ger, my time is really limited so go straight to the important points only. When it comes to Judis, I will never give it to you, after all, you have a legitimate wife. If indeed you can already accept each other's past, just talk about the plan to have two children.”
“That's the problem, Lus,” Gerry sighed and let the waiter put down their order.
Lucia thanked him and refocused her eyes on Gerry. His eyes had glanced at one incoming message that was visible on his phone screen.
(LUSIA ) Single men are more seductive than husbands of people 😍😍
(YUDHA) Make my concentration so crumbling. Be careful if it is legal to be a wife.
(LUSIA ) I'll wait for the proposal, honey
Lucia smiled to herself and ignored Gerry who had sighed a few times.
”So you already love Yudha?”
Lusia looked at Gerry with brow.
“So you did love Yudha a long time ago ?”
“What is my answer important to you ?” Lucia laughed cynically.
“After you dumped me for being pregnant and your family thought of me as trash, I've decided since then to erase the memory that I once knew you.
If I knew that woman was your wife, then,
of course I will ask other doctors who handle it because I really do not want to have any relationship with you guys.”
“Pardon my mother's attitude that is still rude to you.”
“For me you guys are no more patient family, do not consider yourself special.”
“Lussia..”.
Lucia raised her hand and picked up a phone call from the hospital staff.
“I have to visit patient, is there anything else you want to convey ?” asked Lucia after ending her phone call.
“My family will definitely force to get Judis,” Gerry said with a sad look, not fierce let alone threatening as before.
“Never will I let !” sahut Lucia firmly.
“I got HIV, Lus,” Gerry. “Not only HIV, but there is a disruption in my reproductive organs that makes me no longer able to give offspring.”
“That's why your parents intended to take Judis and acknowledge her as their granddaughter after throwing her away 5 years ago ?” sindir Lucia with a cynical look.
“Yes, because Judis is my only living descendant,” Gerry laughed bitterly.
“As you know there are many women in my life and among them there were pregnant with my son, but the women I persuaded to abort him with the lure of money.
You are the only woman who decides to keep him and does not care about the consequences you have to bear.”
“Even I was no longer considered a child by my parents,” Lucia smiled bitterly.
“I got married before becoming Indri's husband. The mother's choice too. It turned out that the noble lady who looked graceful was no better than me.
Jean, my ex-wife's name can't be tied to just one guy and it's been getting better when I started having sex disorder*sual to the point of not being able to satisfy her wild lust in bed.”
Lucia smiled sinisterly and looked at Gerry with a mocking face.
“I know that all that is karma from my actions, Lus. I was fully aware especially when I was declared to have HIV. I just found out that I got the virus from Jean, but Jean's family denied it and accused me of being the source.
Finally we divorced after 10 months of marriage and Mama continues to blame me who was convicted will not be able to have children again.”
“And you will convict Judis to accept you as his biological father ? Never expect !”
“I'm sorry Lus, I'm sorry my mother hurt you so deeply that I even knew that Mama was still reluctant to be nice to you despite wanting to have Judis as her biological granddaughter.”
“Until any time I won't tell you that you are his real father. All will be a burden to Judis. Dumped and ignored since still in the womb until this moment then suddenly had to admit a man every night spent his life from one embrace of women to another until now had to bear the disease.”
“I understand how you feel, Lus. I also married Indri because I had to,” Gerry sighed.
“Indri is the son of a friend of Mama who was left behind by the men who impregnated her and I am just a man who is unlikely to marry because of HIV and is barren, she said, so our marriage is just to give each other status.”
”That's your problem, Ger, it has nothing to do with me. And I reiterate that all your melow stories will not make me feel sorry for letting go of Judis to be your son. If you really care about your own flesh and blood, let go of Judis, do not trap him in your life let alone your family. Can you imagine what Judis will be like when she grows up.”
Lusia woke up because her phone was ringing again.
“Lussia,” Gerry restrains the child's doctor's arm. “Do you really love Yudha ? I still remember very well how you treated that man when we were together.”
“What happened between us was one of the biggest mistakes and ignoring Yudha was the worst behavior of my life. But Yudha is not just a hero but my angel of help. He never left me even when everyone thought I was trash.”
“That's because long ago he loved you.”
“Ya and now I am truly grateful to be given the opportunity to repay her sincere love. A love that never expects anything in return and never changes even though I often ignore and hurt her.”
“I'm sorry, Lucia. I am so grateful that you gave birth and raised our child so well.
I am grateful for Yudha who is beside you and helped raise Judis. May you be happy.”
Gerry wakes up and releases Lucia's hand. The woman in front of him frowned feeling strange with Gerry's drastically changed attitude.
“I will make sure that Mama never takes Judis from you. Like you said earlier, I want you and Yudha to raise him well so that Mama doesn't have a chance to create another Gerry.”
Lusia smiled faintly and hurried to leave Gerry as her phone rang again. There are patients who are being treated and need to be visited immediately.
