Chapter 94 - An Anxious Wife (1/2)
The security rushed Dino to the hospital. The man was still unconscious. His body was limp. One of the security guards informed Lala that the man was injured because he was attacked by robbers. The Royal Malaysian Police immediately intervened to investigate the robbery and violence. The nurses are cleaning Dino's wounds and the doctor performed a minor operation to stitch up Dino's gaping wound. There is a deep wound under the ear where the shards of glass got into his scalp so the doctor needs more time operating on Dino.
Lala breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the operating light was turned off, the sign that shows Dino's operation is finished. Lala ran to the doctor who came out of the operating room.
”How is my son's condition?” Lala asked the doctor.
”He is fine. Although we need to observe him first before he can go home.”
”Thank you, doctor.”
Lala entered Dino's treatment room. The doctor has not allowed Dino to go home because he is still under observation.
Lala touched her son's hand. ”Dino,” she called him softly.
”Mom,” Dino said still with closed eyes because he was still dizzy from the anesthetic.
”Yes. I'm here. How do you feel?”
”I'm fine, Mom. Earlier I was on a video call with Rere. I don't want to make her worry.”
”Are you sure she's worried about you?”
”She is affectionate and kind, mom, it's just...”
”Just what? Have you caught the love slave virus?” Lala teased her son.
”You speak like the younger generation, you even know the term love slave, mom.”
”You think I'm too old to understand those?”
”I forgot that you are indeed so cool, mom.” Dino didn't want to argue because his head was still hurt and dizzy.
Lala's cell phone rang loudly. The woman took her cell phone from her bag.
Dila Calling...…
”Yes, Dila?”
”Aunty, how is Dino?” Dila called while glancing at Rere who was pacing back and forth. The woman was worried about her husband's condition.
”He is fine. he just got some stitches.”
”How about the robbers?”
”The Royal Malaysian Police are investigating it.”
”Aunty,” Dila said in a whisper. Afraid Rere would hear her.
”Why are you whispering?”
”I don't want my sister-in-law to hear me.”
”I understand.” Lala nodded. ”What is wrong?”
”How is Dino's condition? Rere was grumpy and worried. She's been pacing back and forth since earlier.”
Lala smiled at Dino. The man asked with a sign.
”Just tell Rere to leave for KL on the first flight.”
”Noted, aunty. The secretary has taken care of everything.”
”Is Dino okay, aunty?” Dila glanced back at Rere. The girl was sitting on the sofa.
”He is okay. There are only a few stitches on his head,” Lala answered quietly.
”Okay then, aunty. I just wanted to know about that. Thank goodness Dino is fine.”
”Rere doesn't want to talk to her husband?”
”Her pride won't let her do that, aunty. We teased her and said that she was worried about her husband, but she strongly denied it. Saying she wasn't worried, although her action shows otherwise.”
”She did not realize her own feeling at Dino. When I was young, I also acted the same way with Dino's father. It's just a matter of time until they start to love each other and make Leon's little sibling.” Lala teased while glancing at Dino.
”Okay, Aunty. I'll hang up first.”
”Who was calling, mom? Is it Dila?”
”You know the answer, why keep asking?”
”Is it wrong to ask?”
”No, son.”
”Why did you talk about me and Rere?”
”Don't pretend to be deaf.”
”The little girl who is your wife is worried about you. She paced around worriedly but ashamed to admit it. Dila said she will come to KL with the first flight tomorrow to take care of you.”
”Seriously?” Dino laughed. He cannot believe that Rere is worried about his condition. ”Isn't she going to be free from me if I die? Didn't she want to be a widow?”
”Don't overdo it, No.”
