My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 321 - Hearing Your Voice

Meanwhile, in the car park downstairs of the hospital.

Lilia and Mellisa returned to the car where Clifford was waiting. The two of them sat in the car and were silent for a long time. The night wind suddenly blew, making fallen leaves hit the car's window. The sound of a loud wind broke the silence in the car.

Mellisa ran her fingers through her short hair while sighing slowly. She and Lilia sat on either end of the car seat. Somehow, her mood was affected during this quiet time together.

Earlier, they didn't wait for the Irwan's family to show up, so they went through the emergency exit earlier than expected. A few minutes ago, news came from Herri who said that Richard Irwan, Leila's father, and the butler of the Irwan Family had arrived. They went straight to the guard room to arrange for Leila's surveillance.

Mellisa's black eyes flashed sharply as she thought that. Mellisa took out a cigarette box from her pocket, then she lowered the window halfway down. The cold night wind immediately blew into the car.

She turned her head towards Lilia, who was already wearing a wool coat. Mellisa reached out to help her straighten the coat. "Keep yourself warm, lest you catch a cold," she advised.

"Ah... yes." Lilia, who had been deep in thought, nodded with a surprised expression.

With a 'click' sound, Mellisa lit the lighter and burned the cigarette. Then she studied Lilia's expression carefully. Her younger sister's face had always looked grim and complex, as if she was thinking about a tough problem.

"Lili, are you okay?" Mellisa asked worriedly.

At that time, Lilia finished sorting out her emotions. She turned to Mellisa and smiled faintly. Then she touched her cheek which felt cold from the cool breeze as she asked, "Is there a problem with the surveillance in the guard room? If the Irwan Family saw Rion and Roy running away, it would raise suspicion,"

Mellisa stuck her cigarette out the window and flicked the tip of the cigarette. The ashes disappeared in the night wind, just like the figures of Rion and Roy who disappeared from the hospital before the Irwan Family appeared.

Mellisa winked and sneered, "No, that part has been well taken care of. I told them to hide their tracks. Even if the Irwan family saw the contents of the video, they wouldn't be able to track down Rion and Roy. So you don't have to worry,"

Lilia nodded and said nothing more. Mellisa told Clifford to take them home before falling silent again. The car sped toward their apartment in complete silence.

Around eleven at night, Lilia was standing in front of her bedroom's window. She looked up at the night sky full of stars, and took photos with her cell phone. Then she opened the Other application and sent the photo to Jean. She added a short message after the photo.

[Lilia]: "Miss you."

Even though she knew that it was already late at night, Lilia still wanted to hear that man's voice. She waited anxiously for Jean's reply.

A few minutes later, Jean responded to the message.

[Jean]: "I miss you too. Are you not happy there?"

Even if they were separated hundreds of kilometers away, the man could always guess her mood accurately.

As she read Jean's answer, Lilia was trying to decide how to tell him. Her finger was still hesitating in front of the screen when Jean called her.

"Hello, Jean?" As soon as their phone connected, Lilia immediately greeted him first.

The deep man's voice sounded like music to Lilia's ears tonight. "Are you being bullied by someone?" Jean asked threateningly. The man sounded as if he would run into anyone who dared to make Lilia unhappy.

Hearing that, the corner of Lilia's mouth lifted into a small smile. She automatically shook her head and replied, "No, I just missed you a little,"

Lilia didn't want Jean to worry about her, so she purposely didn't say anything about the incident at the hospital.

For a moment, there was only silence on the phone. Then Jean took a deep breath before speaking. "If you want to find out the truth about yourself, you don't have to worry about other things. I'll take care of it for you. You just need to focus on what you need to do,"

"...Yes." Lilia bit her lip to hold back her tears from spilling. The care and love in that man's soft voice slowly calmed Lilia's heart that was still stirring after the incident.

"And if the truth doesn't match your expectations, you don't have to face it alone. You can tell me everything," Jean said while gazing off into the distance, as if he could see Lilia right now. "I will be by your side,"

"...Thanks, Jean." Lilia whispered in a voice trembling with emotion. No words could express how she felt at this moment.

Lilia also felt a little relieved that she didn't have to explain what happened tonight to Jean. Clifford seemed to have given the man a full report.

"If this is hard for you, don't push yourself," Worries was clearly heard in Jean's voice.

Lilia took a deep breath, then she leaned against the side of the window sill. She said softly, "It's not that hard, really. I just feel confused by my own feelings. But hearing your voice makes me feel better now,"

For a moment, there was only silence on the phone.

"…Jean? Are you still there?" Called Lilia confused.

A second later, a sigh came from the other end of the line.

"Hearing you say that makes me want to be there with you right now," said Jean in a frustrated voice.

Lilia chuckled, then she turned around and asked, "Don't worry about me. How's Brother Chris? Is he awake?"

Jean paused for a moment before answering in a low voice, "Not yet,"

After a few simple conversations, Lilia and Jean said good night to each other before hanging up. The woman turned and looked out the window. The night sky looked gloomy without starlight, just as she felt every time she thought about Chris's condition. Lilia sighed and hoped that Jean's best friend would immediately open his eyes.

*****

Two days later, in that apartment, Lilia and Mellisa were having breakfast together at the dining table. While eating her breakfast, Lilia's gaze was focused on her cellphone's screen. When she read the contents of the message, her expression turned cynical.

In these two days, the two siblings had hardly ever left the apartment. They spent most of their time arranging plans for the Irwan Family's birthday party.

Meanwhile, the Irwan family changed their bodyguards after the incident that night. The next morning, they went through the discharge procedure for Leila and brought her back to the main house.

Lilia also heard that Leila was now being tightly protected by the Irwan Family. Of course, this frustrated Robert and Sylvia. After all, they came to Jakarta to visit Leila. But now they couldn't see her and didn't know how she was. Apart from the occasional messages Leila sent them, they couldn't get any information.

Janice, the wife of the head of the Irwan family, now forbade Leila from leaving the house. This was because Janice was afraid that her only remaining child would also be involved in an accident like her sister.

Richard, the head of the family, purposely didn't tell his wife that there had been an incident at the hospital that night. The man was worried that Janice would become increasingly paranoid, so he quietly went to work on it together with the butler of the Irwan Family.

Now Leila looked like a fragile doll to Janice's eyes.. She always kept her daughter beside her and took care of her with care.
