09. like petals as a tears

" Emily.. is she.. "

Unfortunately, he could only sigh. because it can't be helped if Emily has to feel a terrible fear in front of her eyes. until he had to change the subject.

" does doctor damien have no other family members? "

what a surprise that brian asked about it. like it or not, Lucas finally explained it to him.

" he's only has one daughter. but she still has to undergo treatment, because she trying to protect someone from danger in her cover duty. She takes the name Elena. but her real name is, Selena kent. she's a strategic SWAT member. and this is selena kent's photo. if you want to know about her "

when lucas show the photo, how surprised he was because what Lucas meant turned out to be Elena who had been helping him all this time. while he was out of the hospital, even always accompanying him during his recovery, and also always supporting him when he lived an independent life as a cafe waiter. Elena, whom he had known all along, had been trying to protect him all this time. behind her face that looks like a good woman.

" brian. you ok? " asked lucas.

however..

" it can't be.. all this time.. she had been helping me all along, and had also been trying to protect me. how can i be this stupid.. why protect me so much? why am i like this.. why so want to protect me? how many gonna die because me? "

so much he said. but he can do nothing. could only ponder and also close his eyes.

On the other hand, Lucas didn't think that what he saw was actually true. even so, he felt that it was still not the time.

" ( I know you're feeling shaken right now. moreover, no one will know. Or maybe, nobody wants to give you the answer you deserve. because those who have been beside you for 3 years now, have been trying to protect you. even at 5 years. for something danger.. ) Brian, you might need some alone time. the medics will escort you out. I'll check on Emily first. I'm sure she still can't calm down. "

" no, wait! let me calm emily. She's the one who's hurt the most than me. "

Lucas fell silent after hearing that..

15 minutes later..

Lucas took Brian to where Emily was after he underwent a body condition check, and was also allowed to see Damien's body one last time.

It's hard to imagine that Brian could try to be that calm even though he knows that it's not easy to see someone who has died.

( listen to me carefully, brian. The reason why Doctor Damien really wants to cure Emily, apart from his cousin, he has also made promises to fellow doctors, old friends, and also his daughter. because from the records he sent me, she was a victim of kidnapping, and also suffered severe physical and psychological abuse. I don't know how Doctor Damien makes Emily able to live her life even though she can only stay silent. Please, as damien's friend, make sure that you can make Emily's emotions calm, and make her to be life normal again. )

back again..

When they arrived at Emily's place, Lucas told the officers to let Brian talk to Emily. hard to believe that emily is still crying, even though her voice has weakened.

moreover..

" Emily.. "

Brian's soft voice made Emily stop crying. It's just that Emily's face is already pale, and her eyes are droopy because she keeps crying..
