I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
81. I've actually forgiven you, and yet,,,,, I,,,,,

"To be honest I have forgiven you, Joel," Ariel said.

"But you're still mad at me" Joel said, dropping his gaze on the bowl in his hand.

"Lies the name if I don't feel upset with you, but I also want to digest it" Ariel explained

"At first I just had to wait for you to tell me, but what I saw yesterday seemed to pull out all the logical thoughts I had in my head" he added.

"He came to apologize" Joel explained.

"Because he did the sabotage?" greet Ariel.

"Do you know that?" Joel raised his face quickly in surprise.

"Bram told me," Ariel looked back at Joel.

"She, how much information does she actually have?" grouse Joel.

"But it's undeniable that he warned me about Christina, and now I know why he said that" Joel said.

"And I also understand why he says your explanation always makes sense" Ariel continued.

"Did he say that in a conscious state? Or did he just take medicine or hit his head maybe?" joel Cecar .

"Joel, you're so rude" Ariel laughed.

"Hats-chis,,,!"

Ariel's laughter stopped from sneezing, and continued with a few more sneezes made her head up because she felt difficulty breathing, hoping it could help her.

Joel held out a tissue box that Ariel immediately took to rub her nose, leaving a red mark on her nose.

"Argh, my nose really doesn't work right now" Ariel lamented.

"Eat, after this you can take your medicine," said Joel again to feed Ariel.

At first Ariel did eat it, but it did not continue and turned into a drama to keep her mouth shut.

Joel continues to persuade Ariel to eat more, but Ariel refuses after the fifth bribe.

"Enough, I don't want any more, why is it so bitter? Even more bitter than medicine" Ariel lamented.

"It will feel different if you're healthy" Joel said.

"One more bribe," persuaded Joel again thrust a spoonful of potato soup that he made.

"You're the one who ate, you haven't eaten either, have you?" ask Ariel.

"I've eaten something, at least not stirring the food and making it a toy like someone" Joel said.

"That's because the food is stale" said Ariel.

"really? Or because your tongue isn't working properly?" greet Joel.

Joel put down the bowl and unbaked the medicine, asking Ariel to take it immediately by helping hold the glass while Ariel was drinking, and asking her to lie back down.

"Have a rest" said Joel rubbing Ariel's head gently.

Just as Joel got up from her seat, and was about to leave Ariel for a break, her movements were stifled as Ariel grabbed her wrist, preventing her from leaving.

"What's wrong?" ask Joel. "Do you need anything?" coined.

"No, it's not that. Uhm, can you just stay here?" ariel Pinta.

For a while, Joel was stunned, but immediately smiled and sat back down.

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to stay here until you wake up" Joel replied, patting Ariel's hand gently.

"I don't want to sleep anymore, I feel like I've been sleeping too much since yesterday, but my eyes are heavy" Ariel said.

"That's a sign the medicine is working, and you should be sleeping more" Joel replied.

"Does all drugs have the same reaction?" ask Ariel.

Ariel could no longer hear what Joel had told her. His consciousness gradually faded away, his eyes feeling increasingly heavy that he could not help it and fell asleep in his sleep.

"Hopefully your situation will improve when you wake up later" said Joel slowly while gently tucking Ariel's forehead and tidying the blanket position.

While Ariel is asleep, Joel comes out of Ariel's apartment to buy some groceries. Without realizing that someone had been waiting for an opportunity to enter secretly into Ariel's apartment.

Somehow, the man could easily get into Ariel's apartment using another key and break into the room.

The stranger who covered his head with the hoodie of the jacket and the face covering immediately approached Ariel who was asleep, forcibly plucking out the infusion in her hands and lifting her body.

However, to coincide with the man who was about to take Ariel away, Joel returned to the apartment faster as he left his wallet.

Joel saw him right in front of the door as he was about to step out of the elevator. Suddenly, he immediately lunged at the man and tried to take Ariel from the stranger's hands.

"Hey!!! drop him!!" joel's orders before he hits it.

The man kicked Joel who was immediately thrown and hit the wall because he was not ready with his resistance.

'BUGH,,!!!'

'UKH,,!!" Joel grimaced as his body hit the wall, but still tried to advance again.

Joel attacked more carefully and not rashly as before and managed to urge him.

Desperate, the man takes Ariel down and intends to finish his business with Joel.

The man continued to attack Joel, the situation turned around until Joel became desperate. Several blows landed heavily on his face, even his glasses were thrown out of nowhere, revealing the distant difference that the person was more skilled. From the corner of his lips, he had shed blood.

Joel fell down when the man kicked him back, and hit the wall again.

The man snorted in annoyance, then ignored Joel, and returned to Ariel who was still asleep due to the effects of the medicine. As the man is about to take Ariel, the elevator doors open again and Ken and his friends show up.

For a few moments they were silent to see what was in front of them, alternately they looked at Joel and the man, then turned to Ariel and the wound on her hand.

Seeing that, they immediately attack the man together, making the man desperate and forced to flee as one of Ken's friends contacts the police, and ends up failing to take Ariel.

"Silver is bleeding, we go to the hospital" Ken said, helping Joel stand up.

"I'm fine," Joel answered, brushed off Ken's hand and walked over to Ariel.

"Let me, please" Ken said as he watched Joel take Ariel.

"I can do it" he answered.

Ken's first-time friends see Joel astonished by Joel's attitude. Wondering in their minds who Joel could enter freely into Ariel's apartment and even into his room.

One of Ken's friends picks up Joel's broken-looking glasses, and gives them to Ken.

"You know him?" ask Ken in a soft voice.

"Yes, she's Ariel's lover" Ken said.

"EEEHHHHH,,,,,!!!!!"

At once all of Ken's friends let out a surprised voice.

"Sister Ariel has a lover?"

"Since when?"

"Why didn't you say anything to us? At least we won't continue to misunderstand your closeness to Ariel's sister"

In turn they ask questions to Ken, but Ken's attention is focused on Ariel who is being treated by Joel.

Blood on Ariel's wrist came out quite a lot, making him worried and immediately approached Joel followed by his friends.

"Why didn't Ariel wake up? Even when his hand was hurt?" ask Ken.

"She had just taken the medicine, and the effect had just worked" Joel explained without turning his head.

"Is the pain severe? What's Ariel's sister really sick?" ask Ken again.

"The fever is high, and he refuses to go to the hospital" Joel replied. "Hopefully the fever goes down soon after this," he added hoping.

Joel turned around after finishing treating Ariel's hand, and did not put on the infusion again. Covering his sleeping body, he asks Ken and all his friends out.

"Thank you, Ariel is safe thanks to you" Joel said, giving a grateful look.

"Please keep this incident a secret from her, I just don't want her to think too much about things that will suppress her mind" Joel asked as they sat on the sofa.

"We understand" they answered.

"Sister Joel, these are his glasses,, um, are you okay like this?" ask Ken to doubt.

Joel looked at his broken glasses, then smiled.

"I'm fine without it, although it limits my movement a little, but it doesn't matter as long as I'm not having surgery" Joel said.

"Operation?" repeat one of Ken's friends with a frown.

"Sister Joel's a doctor" explains Ken.

Ken's answer brought awe from their faces, looking at the perfect looking Joel in their eyes. Handsome, tall, hazel eyes are very rare and feel warm when looking at them. He's also a doctor. A second later their faces turned serious, including Ken and Joel.

"Who exactly is that guy?" ask Ken.

"I don't know" said Joel, rubbing his face.

Feeling the problems keep coming, and always targeting Ariel.

"Have you come to see him?" joel asked breaking the silence.

"Right, but it seems like we can't meet in person because Ariel's sister is still resting" replied one of them.

"So, we'll go home," the others continued.

"So apparently, well, I'll tell him later if you guys come" Joel said.

"I'm going home too" said Ken.

"Aren't you waiting for him to wake up?" bargain Joel.

"No, my brother will ask a lot if I come home late, and I'm lazy to answer" Ken explained.

"Alright, once again thank you for your help" said Joel.

Joel escorted them to the door and closed it after they left. Gave a double lock on the door of Ariel's apartment.

"I have to change the key, but I have to talk to Ariel about this, too,"

"But what reasonable reason would I tell him?" joel's mumbling scratched his head.

Joel sat down and leaned his head on the sofa, sighing deeply as he placed his hand on his forehead. Feeling tired from everything that happened so quickly.

"The watch he was wearing, where have I seen it?" mumbling Joel slowly.

Trying to figure out something about the watch that person wears, a posture that is not foreign to him, as if draining his energy, until without him realizing it, he has fallen asleep.
