Chapter 319 - An Appetizer
Outside the door of Leila\'s ward, the two sleeping bodyguards disappeared. Their figures disappeared after the Pangestu couple entered the door and covered the window.
At this time, on the fire escape not far from the corridor, Lilia was standing at the side of the door. Her face looked cold and tense as she glared intently at the door to Leila\'s ward. Lilia had seen Robert and Sylvia enter Leila\'s ward with her own eyes. She felt as if she was getting real proof of her conjecture all this time.
It turned out that Leila was really Sylvia\'s daughter. Before the door to her wars was closed, Lilia clearly heard Sylvia calling Leila her daughter in a worried voice. These were the kindness and worries a mother should have.
Beside Lilia, Mellisa, Herri and the two bodyguards who pretended to be sleeping stood quietly. Lilia once met the two bodyguards at the hotpot restaurant where she met Mellisa.
"We watched the woman a lot in the last two days, and we found that the method she used was very cruel," Said Rion, one of the bodyguards, in an angry tone. "Almost every night, after her family left, she would send us various kinds of food mixed with sleeping pills. Two days ago, before the couple came, the woman had meet other people,"
Mellisa looked at Rion after hearing those words. "Who else has she met?" she asked, frowning
Rion\'s face went stiff, and he scratched his head awkwardly. "We, uh, we fell asleep that night, so we don\'t know. But we\'re sure someone must have come here!" he strictly answered.
That was their first day here, so they didn\'t know what method Leila was using. That\'s why they couldn\'t avoid the woman\'s trap.
But since that day, they had learned how to avoid Leila\'s tricks. Every time they finished eating what Leila gave them, the two of them would take turns going to the bathroom. There, they vomited the food, then drank the salt water to get rid of the sleeping pills.
The two men were Mellisa\'s partners in the debt collection business. The two of them were brothers, with Rion being the older and the younger being Roy.
Through Mellisa\'s explanation, Lilia found out that there were no bodyguards in the Irwan Family house. They preferred to rely on the sophistication of modern security tools.
Even so, the Irwan family knew that Leila was afraid to be left alone in the hospital. Initially, they intended to hire bodyguards through a security company. It\'s just that the bodyguards they hired were secretly replaced by Mellisa\'s subordinates.
As Lilia was listening to their conversation, the thing that crossed her mind was her first meeting with Leila. The woman was crying, then she looked at Mike with love in her eyes. Leila\'s fragile appearance could arouse people\'s desire to protect her.
Lilia also remembered the time when she found Leila at the Pangestu Family house. At that time, she saw Leila and Sylvia holding hands while talking and laughing. Leila took off her mask as a shy girl and could calmly explain that they were close to each other.
Lilia wondered how far Leila could hide her true self in order to control everyone in the palm of her hand? Did her parents also know about Leila\'s hidden side?
Lilia\'s chest tightened as she began to question her parents\' sincerity. Robert always acted like he loved Lilia, but was he genuine? Sylvia had spoken coldly to her all these years, but she gave her love to others.
How ironic.
Lilia\'s beautiful face was staring coldly at the door to the ward. There was absolutely not a trace of emotion on the woman\'s face. Lilia\'s calm actually worried Mellisa.
She didn\'t know how to comfort her little sister, so she could only hold onto Lilia\'s shoulder and squeeze it gently. Mellisa tried to convey that Lilia was no longer alone in dealing with this problem.
Realizing Mellisa\'s intention, Lilia turned her head and smiled slightly. "Tonight, let\'s serve them an appetizer,"
Lilia only intended to check Leila\'s condition. But she didn\'t expect to meet Robert and Sylvia here. So Lilia will give them a \'little surprise\'.
Herri, who was standing beside Lilia, automatically stepped back away from the model. Somehow, she felt that the smile of this woman with a similar face to his Captain was quite terrifying!
For the time being, everyone\'s eyes were on Lilia.
Mellisa was the first to react. She raised her eyebrows and asked half-jokingly, "How are you going to serve them?"
Lilia took her eyes off Mellisa and looked at Rion instead. "When the Irwan family hired bodyguards, did they ask you to report on Leila\'s situation regularly?"
Rion didn\'t know what Lilia was planning with this question, but he still nodded. "Yes, when the Irwan family arrives at noon, they will also ask us a question or two." His answer was honest.
"Then... what if they find out that someone has infiltrated Leila\'s ward tonight? What will happen?" Lilia asked, smiling mischievously.
As soon as those words left Lilia\'s mouth, Mellisa immediately glared at her sister. Her gaze was tinged with disapproval. "Do you want them to meet now?" She asked.
"Is it appropriate for the two families to meet now?" Was the intention behind Mellisa\'s question.
After Lilia took a deep breath, she said in a light tone, "Since this is an appetizer, she doesn\'t need side dishes and big meat. But it has to be delicious,"
Rion, Roy, and Herri looked at Lilia with confused expressions. They didn\'t know why Lilia suddenly talked about appetizers and side dishes. But Mellisa couldn\'t hold back her laughter. She nodded and turned to her subordinate.
"Follow exactly what Lilia says. We\'re going to make a fuss tonight," Mellisa said with a happy tone. She smiled so broadly that her fangs were clearly visible.
The three men straightened up and focused their attention on Lilia. Whenever Mellisa smiled like that, it usually meant that there would be a lot of commotion and chaos as a result of their actions.
"Rion and Roy, please return to your original positions. Two minutes later, you will be standing at the door again to stand guard, as if the sleeping pills had gone away," Lilia explained. "When the couple comes out of Leila\'s room, you must stop them with a loud voice,"
The two men gasped as they realized what Lilia was up to. The woman smiled coldly and ended her explanation.
"Get the nurses here,"
*****
At half past nine that evening, there was a sudden commotion in the high-level ward of the private hospital. Something like this had never happened before. The nurses on duty and the other patients on the ward grew worried.
This was because someone broke into the VIP ward at night and was caught by the guards!
