006. Trembling

"Thank you sir, after I recover I will look for a new place to live so I don't bother you."

"No need, you can just stay at my house," William said, causing Audrey to frown in confusion.

"What does that mean?"

"You don't have a job, right? It's better for you to work at my house. There's no one to take care of Rasya, and he can't get close to anyone. When I saw how close you were with Rasya, I thought you were the right person to take care of him."

"Is that okay?"

"I'm the one who invited you, so it must be okay."

"Thank you very much, sir."

"Audreyyy... Don't call me sir."

"Ooiya okay okay, just William right? How about I call you Wil if William is too long," Audrey offered.

"That's fine, whatever makes you more comfortable."

"Well, I'm sorry if I'm being presumptuous, but I need to ask you something, Wil."

"Please, what is it you want to ask?" replied William, who was so focused on driving.

"Sorry, but may I know where Rasya's mother is? I just don't feel comfortable living there with someone else's husband and children."

William immediately jerked the wheel to the right. His eyes squinted at Audrey while the car was still moving.

"W..... Why Will, why did you suddenly stop?"

"Don't ever talk about my wife in front of me again."

"We're divorced, she cheated on me." William looked down, making Audrey feel a little bad.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know," Audrey said quietly, feeling so guilty about her stupid question.

William lifted his head again, the man looked straight ahead and then turned the car back onto the wide road. This time William wasn't driving at a moderate speed, he was driving at a high speed on a quiet road, even though it was still eight o'clock at night.

Audrey, who felt frightened, did not want to reprimand William. She could only sit quietly in the seat while closing her mana with one hand and holding the seatbelt tightly.

O God, save me today. Don't take my life first, God, there are still many things I need to fix in this life. Audrey thought to herself.

After saying these words in her heart, the car William was driving suddenly stopped. Audrey slowly opened her eyes to look around. She let out a sharp breath when she saw that she had arrived right in front of William's house.

"Huh..."

"What's wrong?" William asked strangely at Audrey's attitude.

"Nothing, Wil, just relieved to have finally arrived safely. I thought it ended at the graveyard." Audrey threw out, making William

"What are you, Drey. I don't want to kill myself in the middle of the road. It's like there's no other kingdom," William snapped.

"Yes, yes, why do you have to get angry. You can talk nice too."

"Sorry, let's go down, it's already late. Eat this and then rest. You also have to put the IV back in, so you'll feel better tomorrow."

"But I'm already feeling pretty good, Wil. I don't need any more IVs."

"Just obey Audrey, you're living in my house now and I just don't want anyone at home in pain while I'm resting in peace."

"B...But Wil..."

"Come on, don't argue!"

Audrey was silent again when she heard William's big words to her. She just followed him obediently from behind.

"Already old, angry again. What does that man really want?"

"I'll call a doctor for you, keep the door unlocked and don't go to bed yet. You need to get another IV, eat, and then take your medicine."

"But Wil, I'm already fine. I don't need another IV."

"Don't refuse, Audrey, it's for your health. I'll let you go tomorrow morning. Don't let yourself look sick in front of Rasya, otherwise he will be angry with me later."

"Angry about what?"

"Hurry up and go to your room. Don't go anywhere!" William ordered in a loud tone that left Audrey a little stunned.

William walked away immediately after saying these words. He moved away from Audrey and went into the kitchen. I don't know what he was doing, Audrey could only stare at the old man's actions.

"You old man, I haven't even known him for a day. Especially if it's more than that, I think I'm definitely going to die young because of the constant heart marks he makes."

When she was done with her long-winded rant, Audrey entered the room she had been in earlier. She didn't bring the things she had taken from the rent because William didn't want to see her carrying them herself.

Audrey lay back down on the soft mattress in the room. She returned to the place where she was being treated with the help of an IV. Audrey sighed briefly and then began to cover herself with thick sheets.

*Knock .... Knock

"Excuse me..." a voice called from outside.

"Yes, please come in."

Krekkk...

The door of the room opened and William's maid was carrying his suitcase, followed by the doctor.

"If you'll excuse me, I'll put the suitcase here. If there's anything you need, you can call me directly," William's housekeeper said kindly.

"Thank you, ma'am."

The beautiful doctor in front of Audrey smiled warmly at her. The nineteen-year-old girl returned the doctor's smile with an equally sweet one.

"Hi, you're Audrey, right?"

"Yes Doc, I'm Audrey."

"Hello, I'm here as Mr. William's family doctor to help you. You just rest, let me help you put the IV in."

Before the beautiful doctor placed the IV in the back of Audrey's hand, she first looked at Audrey, who suddenly stared blankly forward with a look that was difficult to interpret.

"What's wrong Drey, are you sick?"

"No Doc, Audrey is not sick," Audrey replied quietly.

The beautiful doctor sat next to Audrey as she finished the IV. The doctor stroked Audrey's hand gently and looked at Audrey sympathetically. I don't know what Audrey was thinking, the woman next to her stroked Audrey's hand gently as if trying to calm the girl in front of her.

"What's wrong?" the beautiful doctor asked, still trying to read Audrey's condition from her expression.

"I'm fine Doc." Audrey replied quietly with a forced smile on her face.

"Are you really fine?"

"I'm fine Doc, thank you. I'm sorry, but you can leave me alone. I want to rest."

"Emm ... well, get plenty of rest. By the way, I can ask for your cell phone number. By the way, if I need volunteers at the hospital later, maybe you can help."

"Of course you can, give me your cell phone," Audrey pleaded.

The beautiful doctor happily handed Audrey her cell phone. Audrey opened the phone application and entered her number. Audrey looked very happy as she gave her number to the beautiful doctor.

"Thanks Audrey, see you in the morning."

"Thanks, Doc."

"You're welcome."

At the same time when the beautiful doctor left Audrey's room, she accidentally bumped into William who had been at the door of the room since earlier.

"Holy ...."

"Why Doc?" asked William guiltlessly.

"Shocked sir, your sudden appearance almost gave me a heart attack."

"Sorry Doc, I didn't mean to."

"Just let him rest first, don't disturb him. I have something to talk about, can we chat for a while?"

"Of course you can."

William let the beautiful doctor walk ahead of him. When they arrived at William's private room, William invited the beautiful Doctor to sit in the chair that was already available.

"What is it, Doc?"

"I see an anxiety disorder in Audrey, she seems to be thinking about something heavy. It was very noticeable that she was so uncomfortable with herself. I don't know what she's thinking about, but it could be detrimental to her health. If possible, try to ask Mr. William what she is experiencing. But try to ask gently and carefully, because if we don't ask carefully it could trigger something bigger. I can only give him a sedative first, for the future I will try to give my best in his recovery."

"Well Doc, actually...."

William told me everything that happened to Audrey the other day and also this afternoon. William told everything without missing a beat. The beautiful doctor just nodded her head digesting every story that came out of William's mouth.

"It seems that it also has something to do with what happened to that girl."

"So what should I do, Doc. I want to help her, I just feel responsible for that girl for doing something unnatural to her yesterday. I owe that girl Budi from the other day."

"I understand what you mean Mr. William. I will also try to help find out what really happened to that girl. Tomorrow I will be here again. I will try to give her therapy tomorrow. Hopefully that will give her some relief."

"Okay Doc, that's fine."

"I really didn't expect to see this very cold and stern William Permana looking worried about that little girl. Are you enamored with her Mr. will?" teased the Doctor.

"It's okay Doc, nothing special. I only helped her because I owe her a favor."

"Aaaaaaaaaaa ...."

William and the beautiful Doctor in the room immediately ran towards the source of the sound. They rushed up the stairs one by one to quickly reach the room.

Krekkk....

"Audrey......"

"W...willl....hikss... Hikss..."

"Huhhh...huhhh....huhhh...."

The beautiful doctor who was there immediately approached Audrey who looked so pale and panicked. The woman squatted beside the bed and held Audrey's hand gently.

"What's wrong, Audrey?" she asked softly.
