Hearing that, the nurse said, "Wait a minute, Miss."

Niall just nodded.

"These are items from the victim," said the nurse on duty as she handed Naila several items.

"Okay, thank you," replied Naila and then tried to open Leo's cell phone password. Only, she forgot how to open it.

Naila is confused.

"Wait a minute, okay?" Naila said then walked away from the administration room.

"Oh, how's this?" Naila muttered looking very angry, after checking the emergency call, it turned out that there was only one contact, no wonder why the doctor was able to contact her in the first place.

Then, she tried to contact Devan using her cell phone. But only a few seconds later a rough sigh escaped her lips.

"Why can't I contact any of your family?" Naila rubbed her face roughly.

"Should I just ask my father for help?"

"No, no," Naila shook her head, rejecting the idea that suddenly appeared in her mind.

Struggling with her thoughts for a few minutes, finally, she decided to contact her father. Because she had no other choice but that. Leo must be operated on immediately, otherwise, she is afraid that his condition will get worse.

Taking a deep breath, Naila slowly wrote down the old man's number. Yes, even though she has run away from home, it doesn't mean that she will forget her father's contact.

A connected knock sounded, causing Naila's whole body to suddenly tremble, hot and cold. It was as if the person she was currently contacting was the most dangerous.

"Hello," came a woman's voice from the other side.

"Ha-hello," replied Naila with a bit of nervousness, her heart beating over and over again when she recognized the voice of a woman who answered her phone.

"Naila?"

"Y-yes, Mom. I am Naila."

"Naila, is it true, dear? Where are you now? Are you bored outside? You want to go back home right? I miss you so much, honey," replied the middle-aged woman on the other end of the phone.

"Where's Daddy? Why is his cell phone with you?" asked Naila.

"You miss your dad? All right, now tell me where you are, I'll ask someone to pick you up, honey."

"No, Mom," said Naila immediately.

"Are you still mad at your father?"

Naila was silent, why did Mother bring it up again. "Mom, I contacted him because I wanted to ask for his help," replied Naila.

"Eh? Are you in trouble outside? Tell me where you are now, honey. I will pick you up."

"No need Mom. I just want to borrow money from Dad."

"Money?"

"My friend has been admitted to the hospital and he will be surgery. I want to help him, mom, so I contacted my father," said Naila with a sigh.

"OK... I will give you money but on one condition."

"What is it, Mom? Tell me."

"You should go home," said the middle-aged woman on the other end of the phone.

Instantly silent, Naila silent a thousand languages. She doesn't want to get married yet, she is tired of following all her father's rules, it's just that right now, she needs money.

"Your father is sick, Naila. Do you still not want to go home? You're still angry with your father?" said the middle-aged woman again on the phone when she didn't get any response from her daughter.

"Daddy is sick?" asked Naila that very second.

"What's wrong, Mom? Since when? How is he now?"

"Ever since you refused to come home, your father's people have told him that you no longer want to be a part of this family. Your father had a heart attack, and was only discharged yesterday from the hospital, currently on an outpatient basis."

"Is he fine now?" Naila asked again, sounding worried.

"If you're worried about your father's condition, you'd better go home, honey. You've been away from home too long. We miss you."

Without Naila knowing, the tears obediently ran down her cheeks. To be honest, she also misses her mother and father very much, it's just that she is very tired, she doesn't want to be managed like a child anymore.

"If you go home today, I will transfer the money right away," said the middle-aged woman on the other end of the phone.

A harsh sigh could be heard escaping from between Naila's lips, "Okay Mom. Send me the money now, and I'll be home."

"Really? You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"No Mom, now I'm in hospital X, just pick me up here."

"All right, honey. Tell me your account number."

Naila then obeyed her mother's request.

"Okay, Mom."

"Okay Honey. I am waiting for you at home," said the middle-aged woman again at the same time as an incoming notification on her cellphone containing the receipt of a very large amount of money.

"Thank you, mom."

And after that, the connection is disconnected.

Not wanting to delay any longer, Naila immediately returned to the previous room and paid the entire administrative fee.

"Thank you, Miss," said the nurse.

Naila just nodded. The girl then headed to the room where Leo was. Her heart touched when she saw the man who had always bullied her was now lying unconscious.

The operation will start soon.

"You'd better wait outside, Miss," said a nurse as she held Naila down, preventing her from entering the operating room.

"O-okay" the girl stuttered.

It's already late afternoon, glancing at the clock on her cellphone, it's already four o'clock. Naila has been sitting for two hours in front of the operating room. The girl didn't budge or even leave her position in the slightest.

Her cell phone suddenly rang, Naila saw a flat object in her hand, it was Anna.

"Hello," Naila preceded.

"Hello, are you still in the hospital?"

"Yes, the operation is still ongoing, Anna."

"His family hasn't arrived yet?"

"No, it seems they don't know what's going on with Leo at this point," Naila replied.

"Do you have any of Leo's family contacts, Anna? I've tried to contact Devan earlier, but his contacts are out of reach," the girl asked again.

"No, I don't have one either."

Naila took a deep breath. Perhaps the only way was to wait for Leo to come to his senses and the man to tell his family about his current state.

"Then I'll call you back later," Anna said on the other end of the phone after a few minutes of silence.

"Okay, Anna," replied Naila then ended the call.

Right after the connection was cut, the operating room door opened, causing the girl to reflexively get up from her position, and approach a man who seemed to be in charge of Leo's operation.

"Doc, how is Leo?" Naila asked the man.

Hearing someone speak to him, the doctor turned to the side, "The operation went well, and Mr.. Leo made it through his critical period," he replied.
