Chapter 42

Freshia Ava’s POV

I opened my eyes slowly and found myself in a room dominated by white. The distinctive smell of medicine suddenly penetrated my sense of smell, making me frown slightly. My body felt very weak, even moving my arms felt heavy. I found an IV needle installed in my right hand. I just took a deep breath.

Suddenly the door, which was not far from where I was lying, opened wide. I spontaneously turned towards the door and found Eros there. Immediately my memory returned to the incident some time ago, where he managed to catch me again with the help of his men.

I'm really too lazy to deal with him right now. Therefore, I decided to close my eyes again, pretending to fall asleep again. Not long after, I felt him step closer to me and I heard the squeak of a chair being moved. It seemed like he was sitting on a bench right next to the patient's bed. Then I felt a grip on my hand and a few kisses were placed on it. I really wanted to open my eyes and withdraw my hand from his grasp because, of course, I didn't want to receive that treatment from him.

However, before I carried out my heart's intention, I heard the sound of the telephone ringing which seemed to be Eros's because after that his grip on my hand immediately released and I could hear the conversation between him and someone on the telephone.

“Hello, sir. I want to report that Martin came to the office again and looked for Mr. He trashed your room and threatened your secretary to tell him where you were. It seems he already knows where Miss Freshia is being treated, sir.” Said someone on the phone that I could still hear vaguely.

So, Martin is looking for me? That means there is a possibility for me to escape Eros. Then, I should try to meet Martin at this hospital. Or hopefully, Martin can quickly find my treatment room. I talk to myself in my heart.

"Stay cool. I will continue to be here looking after Freshia. Martin won't be able to find Freshia's room that easily either.” Eros answered. "Let him do as he pleases. But this time, I will no longer let him take anything that belongs to me. Keep watching him John and be ready. When the time is right, we will carry out our plan. I'm too good to let him live happily all this time. But if this time he ruins my happiness again, I will no longer remain silent. I will make her unable to feel happy again, even if that means I will also put her in danger.” Eros said, continuing his words which had previously been interrupted.

After that, the telephone connection was disconnected. But I kept wondering what Eros' last words just meant. Has Martin ever dealt with Eros before until Eros said that Martin had taken his happiness away? Then who is the woman Eros is referring to and what will he do to her that puts her in danger? Question after question began to appear one by one in my mind. But I tried to brush it off. Because I think the most important thing right now is how I can successfully meet Martin now and escape from Eros. But how can I escape if Eros doesn't intend to leave this room? I thought. Until an idea to make Eros panic appeared in my mind at that time.

I opened my eyes and found Eros still sitting quietly on a bench not far from where I was lying. When he realized I was awake, he immediately put his cell phone back into the inside pocket of his jacket. Then he turned to me and asked how I was.

“Freshia, are you awake? What do you feel now?" he asked me.

I furrowed my brows and grimaced loudly. “My head hurts so much. I can't help it. Please call a doctor. This really hurts!” I complained in a voice loud enough to make Eros panic. However, instead of panicking and immediately leaving the room to call the nurse, he just looked at me and immediately pressed the button which was not far above my head. Stupid! How could I forget the nurse call help button? He will of course only use this object to ask for help. I said to myself.

However, I didn't hear an answer coming from the intercom which was connected from the nurse's duty room to the intercoms in every patient's room, including the intercom which was currently being used by Eros.

"Unlucky. Where exactly are these nurses?” Eros complained, still trying to press the help button to call a nurse.

"Can't you go out and talk directly to the nurse on duty? Maybe they fell asleep. My head really hurts, it feels like it's going to explode!” I shouted loudly, trying to continue to urge Eros to immediately leave this room and leave me alone.

But again, instead of doing what I suggested to him, he took his cell phone and looked as if he was going to contact someone via telephone.

“Go to Freshia's ward immediately, George. He complained that his head hurt." Eros said loudly.

George? Is he the same doctor as the psychiatrist I met and treated me all this time? If that's true, is it all part of Eros' plan to always put his people around me so they can keep an eye on me? If my guess is correct, then Eros is really going too far! I growled in my heart.

My plans to escape completely evaporated when I saw the door to my treatment room open and the figure of George, a psychiatrist I knew, appeared from behind the door. Yes, of course, that also confirms all my previous assumptions. Unfortunately, Eros didn't leave this room at all and instead gave me a new fact that increased my hatred for him even more.

“Dr. George?" I asked to make sure that the man in the white coat who had just entered my room was the George I knew.

But without paying attention to my words, he immediately attached his stethoscope to me to check my condition. “Are you really feeling dizzy?” he asked me later.

“Why are you here? I can't believe you know Eros. So it turns out you were also part of his plan to monitor me and trap me, right?” I'm talking to George.

“It's not my capacity to answer all that. You can ask Eros directly. I'm only here to look after you, Freshia."

“Damn you all!” I screamed loudly. "You really are a bastard, Eros! Even a psychiatrist to treat my trauma was not spared from your plans? You are really good at creating your own life story script. But know that forever, I will never want to join in it. I'm too fed up with you and all your behavior. You can have my body, but not my heart, Eros! Until whenever!" I said very loudly.

Eros seemed to be holding back his emotions, but then he laughed. “You always challenge me and provoke my emotions. In that case, I will never let you escape from my grasp, Freshia. Remember that!"
