My Supermodel Wife

After calling Andrew, Mike sat alone in the inn's room for a long time. He had paid the useless detective three million Rupiah for his services as well as medical expenses, then he sent him to the hospital.

The door was slightly ajar, making a cold wind slip into the room. Slowly but surely, the room's temperature dropped further and lower as time passed.

Mike sat huddled in the corner of the bed. He put his hands on his knees and covered his face. A muffled scream resounded within the empty inn.

His brother had asked him to return to Jakarta. He wanted to return right away, but fear stopped him. Why did Andrew call him back to Jakarta just to answer his question? What if Andrew was going to deliver bad news? Mike didn't know if he could bear the disappointing and heartbreaking news.

Mike sighed and closed his eyes. The same thoughts continued to fill his mind. Did Mellisa have something to do with Lilia? If that was the case, he was willing to do anything for Mellisa. Even though Mike had to oppose the Widjaya Family's fourth son, he didn't care as long as he could meet his first love once again.

The young man was so lost in thought that he did not see a shadow outside the inn. Under the darkness of the night, there was a figure of a person standing not far from the alley and watching him through the window.

The person was wearing the same clothes as him, namely a leather jacket, jeans, and short boots. The person's short hair swayed in the blowing wind. The corner of her mouth lifted into a bitter smile. She did not think that over the years, there were still people who thought about her.

Only, it wasn't time to reveal herself yet. The Irwan family had started a new mess, and she wasn't strong enough to confront them. The figure of the short-haired woman turned around and left the place without a sound.

In the next three days, Lilia's days were filled with busy filming. Perhaps since she was accompanied by Jean twenty-four hours a day, she was in a very good mood. Lilia herself was surprised, because this had never happened before.

During the filming process, her control over the character and her emotional expression was almost flawless. Louis even praised her without hesitation.

In some scenes, Lilia was so good at acting that she could finish shooting it in just one shot. Thanks to that, the scene requiring Lilia's role would be completed in two days. This was faster than previously expected.

*****

This afternoon, after Lilia finished filming and left the homestay inn where she was filming, something happened. The woman had just walked into her hotel room when she heard Jean's voice from the living room.

"Are you serious?" Asked the man in an unusually low voice.

Lilia's steps stopped when she heard that. She didn't have the habit of overhearing other people's conversations, but the man's voice caught her. Jean's tone implied anger, which was rare in itself since the man hardly showed such emotional expression.

Lilia's gaze fixed on the living room was filled with doubts. Her feet moved toward the living room, but she immediately stopped herself. Lilia shook her head and walked through the room.

But just as Lilia had just taken a few steps, Jean appeared from the living room. The man must have heard Lilia's arrival and came out to greet her. Jean gestured for Lilia to come to him.

After thinking for a moment, Lilia changed direction and walked over to the man. Jean squeezed her hand gently before pulling Lilia into the living room. The two of them sat side by side on the sofa, but Lilia couldn't hear what Jean was saying on the phone.

The man's eyes were dim as he answered in a low voice, "Okay, I'll be back as soon as I can,"

Lilia's heart started pounding. Her hunch said that the man had just received bad news. What's going on here?

When Lilia saw Jean hang up, she immediately took a cup of tea on the table. Lilia handed the cup to Jean and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong?"

The man took the cup of tea Lilia offered and took a sip. Then he sighed before saying in a deep voice, "Chris is in the hospital!"

"Hah?" Lilia's eyes widened when she heard that. Chris always looked healthy and fresh, so why was he suddenly hospitalized?

"Is he sick?" Lilia asked worriedly.

"His surgery is underway," Even though Jean tried to sound calm, the man could not hide the uneasiness in his voice. "He was stabbed in the heart,"

Tuk!

Lilia's phone slipped from her hand and fell on the carpet. But the woman didn't even notice. Stabbed in the heart? Wouldn't ordinary humans die if their hearts were stabbed?! Then how could Jean say it so calmly?!

She panicked and gripped Jean's hand tightly. "Is he going to be okay ?! Jean, don't you need to go back to Surabaya as soon as possible?!" Lilia asked in a worried tone.

Lilia's panic actually made Jean feel calmer. He pulled his hand away from the woman's grip gently before patting her head.

"Chris is the most stubborn person I have ever known. He won't lose to a small wound like this, so you don't have to worry too much," Jean said.

Lilia covered her mouth with an embarrassed expression. She just realized that she was too panicked after hearing the shocking news. Lilia took a deep breath to calm herself down.

After thinking about it for a moment, Lilia said, "Uncle Julius should know a lot of experienced head doctors. I can ask him for help,"

Lilia grabbed her cell phone that had fallen to the floor and was about to call Julius, but Jean immediately stopped her.

"Don't worry, it's been arranged," Jean said.

Lilia stared at Jean closely. The man looked amused by Lilia's suggestion, but if she looked closely, she could still see the worry behind Jean's calm expression. Without thinking, Lilia hugged Jean tightly. Her hand gently stroked Jean's back, like a mother comforting her child.

"Jean, you can go back to Surabaya first. I still need to finish a few more scenes in the next two days. After everything is done, I'll be right back by your side," said Lilia firmly.

Jean groaned when he heard that, but he didn't argue with Lilia's proposal. He had said that he would accompany Lilia to the end, but now it seemed like he could not fulfill his promise.

Lilia let go of her hug and looked at Jean's face, which was filled with doubts. The man was faced with dilemmas, so wasn't it the duty of a wife to calm her husband's heart?

She landed a light kiss on Jean's cheek before grinning. "You don't have to worry about me. There are lots of people here who are with me, so I won't be lonely. You just have to go back to Surabaya and wait for me, okay?" Lilia said in a cheerful tone.

Jean looked at the woman he loved with a bitter smile.

On the one hand, Chris was like his own brother. And now his brother was on the verge of life and death. But on the other hand, Lilia was his wife. He was willing to do anything to keep her smiling. The man felt a great dilemma between staying here and accompanying Lilia or returning to Surabaya to check on Chris's condition.

But Lilia's words helped Jean make up his mind.. So, he hugged the woman in front of him. His low voice sounded a little hoarse, "Alright, I'll be waiting for you in Surabaya!"
