Chapter 41

Eros Robinson’s POV

I just looked at Freshia's condition, who was now fast asleep. After her escape attempt yesterday, when we had just finished visiting her grandmother's grave, I managed to catch her again and bring her home. However, after waking up from her fainting spell, she continued to rebel.

I finally decided to give her an injection containing a sedative to make her more under control, although the side effect was that she would fall asleep more and her body would be weak. However, her health condition seems to be worse than before.

I immediately contacted George and he suggested that Freshia be immediately hospitalized to get better treatment. Therefore, here we are now, in a VVIP room in one of the well-known hospitals in the city center. I sat right next to Fresia asleep and looked at her very tired face. I handheld one of her hands where there was an IV needle inserted into it.

Suddenly my cell phone rang indicating an incoming call. John's name appeared on the screen. I immediately moved away from where Freshia was lying and sat on the sofa which was still in the same ward, to answer the call.

“Sorry to interrupt your time, sir. I want to inform you that your secretary told me earlier that Martin came to the office to look for you. It seemed that he had just returned and started looking for Miss Freshia's whereabouts. After I investigated, it turned out that he was previously in contact with Miss Freshia's friend, Amara," John explained.

“Is there anything else I should know?” I asked to make sure.

“It seems they reported it to the police station, sir. Because after that a call came to the office from the police looking for your whereabouts. The office also provided the address of your apartment, as well as the address of your main house."

"Okay. then, let the police find me at the hospital. Next, I'll take care of it myself. Thanks for the report, John.” I replied and immediately hang up the phone.

It seems I have to take care of other things first. Damn, Martin. Did he really heed my previous warning? Why does he keep interfering in my and Freshia's affairs? I groaned in my heart.

It didn't take long, the next day, two middle-aged men who introduced themselves as police officers came to me at the hospital. Previously they had contacted me first and I asked to meet in the cafeteria on the second floor of the hospital.

“Good afternoon, Mr. Eros Robinson. Let me introduce myself Smith and this is my partner, Kevin. Perhaps without further ado, we would like to ask Mr. Robinson a few questions regarding the reported disappearance of Miss Freshia Ava. Therefore, we would like to ask for your time to answer some of our questions." Said a policeman who looked more senior than the other policemen.

I was silent for a moment. "Is she lost? It seems like the report doesn't match the reality, huh? How could Freshia be declared missing if she was with me?” I answered casually.

“Do you really know Miss Freshia personally?”

"Of course. I know her very well as the person closest to him.”

"May we ask for an explanation, sir, regarding this CCTV video recording?" Asked one of the officers named Kevin who then handed me a cell phone which on the screen showed CCTV footage of me coming out of the Freshia apartment unit pushing someone in a wheelchair.

"Yes, what needs to be explained from the video?" Instead of answering, I asked them back.

“Is it true that in the video it is Mr. Robinson with Miss Freshia? If so, what happened to Miss Freshia that she had to be taken in a wheelchair?” Ask Mr. Smith.

"Freshia was sick at that time, so when I visited her apartment unit I found her collapsed on the floor so I immediately decided to take her to the hospital."

"Then after that did you know that Miss Freshia no longer lives in her apartment?" Again Mr. Smith asked me.

“Freshia lives in my house. Her unstable condition made me worried and I decided to take her to my house so that I could take care of her optimally. What's wrong with lovers who decide to stay together? So I was confused when I heard that Freshia was reported missing even though she was with me and now, she is undergoing treatment because her body is dropping again. If you don't believe it, you can check it in her treatment room."

After that, I took the two policemen to Freshia's treatment room to show them that Freshia was indeed fine. When we entered the room, Freshia was asleep. I did ask George that today, when the police come, Freshia will be given sleeping pills so that she doesn't wake up and cause problems later.

The two policemen seemed to believe that Freshia's condition was indeed good and I looked like a lover who was waiting for the condition of her beloved to gradually improve. After that, they excused themselves and I immediately took my cell phone from my jacket pocket to contact John. “Arrange a meeting for me with the police chief immediately. I'm too lazy to get back in touch with those cops.”

Martin Moore's POV

Eros is such a bastard! I cursed in my heart as I banged the table in the living room of my apartment. I forgot that what I was facing was not an ordinary person. Eros can easily trick the police.

I just got a call from a police officer who reported to me that the case of Freshia's disappearance would soon be closed because she had been found with her boyfriend, Eros Robinson. After ensuring that Freshia was in good hands, there was nothing more for the police to investigate. Therefore, the case was declared closed.

I couldn't take it anymore and decided to immediately go to see him. But just as I opened the door to my apartment unit, I found Amara standing in front of me. I forgot to tell her and after that, I immediately asked her to go with me and decided to tell her on the way.

"I didn't think that Eros could be that cunning and very cunning." Amara sneered after she heard everything I had just told her about the police finally closing the case of Freshia's disappearance.

"I told you that Eros is not just anyone and we can't mess with him," I said while focusing on the road in front of me.

"Then what do we do next?"

“Meet Eros in person. I already know that he was indeed involved in this incident. So, I wanted to talk to him directly and free Freshia from his confines immediately. If the police can't do it, then I have to try my own way to free Freshia from Eros at any cost. I have made up my mind and promised myself.”
