Chapter 22

I was just stunned by the book I was holding. I’m here in the garden reading, but I can barely read because I can’t get focus. I always think of Logan. Even though he just left, I miss him.  
I put down the book and let myself linger in the garden for a few minutes.  
I let out a deep sigh when I thought of him again.  
"It seems like you have a big problem"  
I looked at the man approaching me. It was obvious to him that he had just woken up because his hair was still messy and he was still yawning as he approached me.  
If I hadn't just gotten up early, maybe this time I would have woken up too. I woke up early today to cook for Logan. I want him to eat at home before leaving. I also did that to be with him even for a while. Ugh! Vianne why are you over reacting? Logan will be back here for a while! But even if he was only out for a while, I feel like it's been a long time for me. I miss him.  
I didn't answer him and took my book to read but I was stunned looking at the book again.  
"You have a problem." He said as if he was right.  
"You know, Brick, just eat there in the kitchen. Don't disturb me first I'm still reading" I told him.  
"Are you sure you're reading? You were like an idiot staring on your book." He said.  
I couldn't answer him so I just dropped the book and looked at the garden.  
"I know what your problem is" I looked at him when he said that. I raised an eyebrow at him and averted my eyes from him.  
“I don’t have a problem” I said. Honestly, I have no problem. I'm just sad now because of Logan.  
"There you are. Your problem is Logan because you miss him" he said and I couldn't answer because he was right. He clapped and then pointed at me.  
"See? I was right? You were a sore in the eyes when I was watching you in the kitchen and outside" he said frowning at me.  
"Huh? Didn't you just wake up?" I asks him.  
"I woke up earlier, but I didn't go out so I wouldn't disturb you" he let out a sigh. "I would be out of place if I went out earlier. You were so sweet with each other, it hurts the eyes" he said with a strange expression on his face.  
I laughed softly, laughing in his face as he spoke. I remember myself with him. I was like that before I was cured and still afraid of men. When I see a couple on the internet and is sweet to each other, I immediately cringe and get disgusted.  
"Oh, Brick. Don't let it obvious that you're jealous of us because you're single. Wait for your girl then you won't cringe with Logan" I said laughing. He clicked his tongue then pout his lips.  
"I really don't have an ally here" he said as if sulking so I laughed again.  
"If you have a girlfriend we will be on your side" I jokingly told him.  
"No woman will come to me because she already belongs to someone else" he said seriously while looking at me in the eyes. I lost my smile because I felt something strange in his gaze.  
I immediately averted my eyes. Vianne! That's how he stared. Why are you saying something weird, huh?!  
I looked at him when he suddenly stood up.  
"I'm gonna eat, I'm hungry." He said so, I smiled and nodded.  
Why did he say that? Why does he seem so bitter when it comes to love? Was he broken back then?  
I was shaken by my thoughts and just picked up the book and then read.  
LOGAN'S POV  
I immediately sat and leaned to my chair after I enter my office.  
This day was tiring. We took care many patients now. It's lunch time and I'm tired of going down to eat.  
I looked at my desk when I remembered something. I saw a sandwich that Vianne gave me. I smiled and immediately picked it up.  
I looked at the door when it suddenly opened. Hazel entered with a tired look on her face.  
"Ugh! I'm so freaking tired ..." She said and sat in the chair next to me.  
I didn’t speak and took the sandwich again.  
"I'm hungry too and–wait, what's that?" She stopped what she was going to say and pointed at my hand.  
"Sandwich" I said and took a bite there.  
"I'll just take a rest 'cause I'm so tired and hungry. I'm so tired to go downstairs to eat" She said so I gave her a sandwich.  
She immediately opened it and ate it. We ate the sandwich we were holding without speaking. Obviously we are really hungry.  
"This sandwich is so tasty. Where did you buy it?" Hazel asked.  
I smiled and stopped eating. Of course this sandwich is delicious because my fiancé made it.  
"It was made by Vianne, my fiancé." I replied to her, and she stopped eating. Her face was looking at me seriously, but it was immediately replaced by a smile.  
"Oh? She's good at this, huh?" 
"She's not just good at making sandwiches. She's good at baking and cooking too." I smiled as I said those then image of her suddenly appear in my head. I miss her already.  
She didn't answer and nodded and just smiled.  
"Uhh, you can have this." She said then she then give me the sandwich. I frowned at her.  
"I can't just have sandwich in my lunch. I didn't eat last night and I didn't eat breakfast" She smiled at me. "I'll go downstairs" she said then left the room.  
She's weird today ...  
I looked at my phone when it rang. I answered the call, and the person on the other line immediately spoke.  
"We've seen the doctor, sir Logan" said the person on the other line.  
I immediately leaned back in my chair when I heard that.  
"Where did you see her?"  
"At the hospital, sir Logan"  
My forehead frowned. She ran away, but she only went to the hospital? Does she think that she will be easy to find when she goes to the hospital? She didn't even move away from this place.  
It seemed like something strange was happening but I just ignored it and talked to the person again on the other line.  
"Watch her carefully. I'll go there later" I said and turned off the call.  
"Just wait a little more, Vianne. I'll find out why your personal doctor did that" I whispered and leaned my body on the chair  
I just rested for a while until my break was over.  
**********
I am in the car now heading to the place where the doctor was. I just finished work and I am tired, but I need to go to the doctor now.  
If it's good for Vianne, then I'm gonna do it whatever it takes. I don't want to see her sad again. I need to know why the doctor did that.  
I immediately accelerated my drive and just a few minutes later I arrived at a small house. I entered the house and was immediately greeted by Ceasar–one of the best in the Vubent group.  
Vubent is a Famous Mafia group back then. This group was already gone, but it is back now because I had talked to Finn Anderson–the leader of this group.  
"Where's the doctor?" I asked.  
Ceasar immediately opened the door and I saw the doctor tied up.  
The doctor looked at me so I looked at her carefully. Her eyes widened looking at me as if surprised that I was here.  
She knows me ...  
I approached her, and knelt down so that our faces were level. I looked at her seriously then I spoke.  
"Why did you do that to Vianne?" I asked, not averting off to her eyes.  
She did not answer so I spoke again.  
"Why did you give her fake medicines?" I asked again, holding back the urge to be angry with her.  
She made Vianne suffer a lot. She took away the pleasure of the person who wanted to recover from the disease she had been suffering from for a long time.  
"W-why are y-you h-here, Doc. L-logan?" Instead of answering my question, she answered me a question.  
So she knows that I ...  
"Answer my damn question!" I shout. I can't help but feel hot because I remember how Vianne cried because of her and how she handled her pain.  
"W-what's y-your r-relationship with Vianne?"  
I closed my eyes in annoyance. I calmed myself and answered her.  
"I'm her Fiancé, so now answer my fuck*ng question!"  
"Why did you give Vianne fake medicines?" I asked again.  
She was shaking with fear but I didn't care. She's older than me but I don't want to respect her. When I remember what she did to Vianne there is immediately a growing anger in my heart.  
"I'm s-sorry, but I was just ordered to do that to Vianne" she said and started to cry.  
I frowned at what she said. Ordered? Who ordered her? And why did she have to do that to Vianne?  
"Who ordered you?" I asked.  
"She didn't say his name and I didn't see his face either. I just did what he told me to do because he was holding my child and he was treating my daughter. He is the only one who has medicine for my child. Even in other countries it is not possible to treat my daughter ... He is the only one who has the medicine that will cure my daughter " She said while still crying.  
"He's treating your child? So he's a doctor?" I asked.  
The doctor nodded quickly.  
"Yes. He's a good doctor and he's my only hope for my daughter's recovery. Please don't kill me. I still want to see Gianna ..."  
"His number ... Give me his number" I said.  
The doctor shook his head. "His number doesn't work anymore ..."  
"What if you're lying?" I said and looked at her intently.  
"I'm telling the truth ..."  
Ceasar handed me the doctor's phone.  
"What's his name here in your contact?" I asked.  
"Important client ..." said the doctor so immediately searched for that name.  
When I saw that I immediately called but could not be contacted. I called again, but still could not be contacted. 
I looked at the doctor who was still crying until now. I asked the doctor again with so many questions such as: where is her daughter was being treated, if she recognized the man's voice, if she used someone to give her the fake medicines and where they first met. She answered all those and she didn't seem to be lying.  
I left the room, and Ceasar followed me.  
"Do you have anything to order, Sir Logan?" Ceasar asked so I turned to him and then spoke.  
"Go to the place where her daughter was treated, and where they first met. You can also order one of your staffs to find the person used to give her the counterfeit medicines"  
"I got it, Sir Logan." Ceasar said so, I nodded and left the house. I immediately got in the car and left there.  
Third Person's POV  
A demonic smile was etched on a man in the room as he listened to what the doctor said.  
"Good job, Doc. Gemina. You still have an advantage" said the man and turned off the laptop.  
He immediately leaned back on a sofa and took the glass of wine. Drank from it while there is still a smile on his lips.  
"No wonder you're a doctor. You memorized all that I said yesterday" said the man, and drank alcohol again. While remembering what it said to the doctor yesterday.  
                         FLASHBACK  
A man is sitting in front while smoking. His patience was about to run out as he waited for the doctor.  
After a while, the door opened and he immediately saw the doctor he had been waiting for. When the doctor saw him, she immediately cried and trembled with fear.  
He slowly stood up and walked closer to it. The doctor immediately knelt down.  
"Sir, forgive me if I was careless and gave up--" the doctor interrupted when the man kicked her immediately.  
The doctor complained of pain. The man was not satisfied and pulled her hair.  
The doctor cried even harder because of what the man had done.  
"What did you tell them?" Asks the man.  
The doctor shook her head quickly, and spoke.  
"I-I didn't tell them. Believe me, Sir ..." said the doctor and cried even more.  
"Do you think I will believe you ?!" Angrily shout of the man.  
"Believe me, Mr. Brick. I didn't speak there until the man they were waiting for arrived"  
The man's forehead frowned. Is Logan who's she referring to? The man pulled the doctor's hair hard again.  
"Listen, if you screwed up again, I'll end your daughter!" The man shouted and pushed the doctor away.  
The man took a cigarette and lit it.  
"Go back there ..." The man said while smoking.  
"And when the man comes back, answer all his questions with lies" the man turned to the doctor, and knelt down to make their faces equal again.  
"If you don't do what I ask you to do, you already know what will happen to you, and your child"  
"I-I can't go wrong, sir"  
"Put a spy device on" said the man to his staff so it acted immediately. The man's staff gave her an earing and the doctor put it on.  
"Everything you say to them, I will hear so, improve what you say" said the man and looked at his staff.  
"Have you moved the child yet?" the man asked.  
"Yes, boss we have moved"  
He did not answer and went out of there.  
It immediately opened a secret passage and led to a room where the child was. When he entered, he saw her lying on a bed.  
The man immediately approached it and examined the child. It adjusted its lying position and folded it well.  
The man took surgical gloves and injections and injected into the child. There was pity to be seen in his eyes as he looked at the child.  
"Our world is so cruel, right? We're already suffering in early age" the man whispered to the child. The pity that could be seen in his eyes immediately disappeared, and he looked at Logan's photo.  
"So we should get revenge to the people who made us suffer, right?" said the man and approached Logan's photo and immediately broke its frame.  
                   END OF FLASHBACK  
The man immediately finished the wine he was holding and loudly laid it on the table creating a noise.  
"Find me before It's too late, Logan. I will be waiting for you" said the man while his demonic smile was already engraved.
