"You'd better go out and get me some food," she added.

Hearing the old woman's words, Seira had no other choice but to obey her, "Okay, Ma. Then I'll go out for a while," she said while heaving a rough breath.

While on the other hand, Devan, who had entered the room where Leo was being treated, slowly approached his cousin.

"How are you feeling now?" asked Devan starting the conversation, the man then landed himself on the chair next to Leo.

"My cell phone is lost," Leo said hanging.

"Whether it's gone or someone stole it, I can't be sure," he continued, his eyes staring straight at the ceiling.

Devan's brow furrowed faintly, "You asked me to come in just because you wanted to discuss your cell phone? It looks like you're healthy now," said Devan.

"I'm not thinking about the phone, I'm just thinking about the data saved on it," Leo sighed harshly.

"Is it that important?"

"Is it related to your company?" asked Devan.

"No, it's about Byanca, Devan."

Devan was even more confused.

"Where have you been lately? I've been trying to reach you but your contacts are always out of reach."

"I went to Australia. And only came back last night," Devan replied spontaneously.

"I don't care where you go Devan, it's just why your contacts can't be reached at all?"

"I did it on purpose."

"Ha?" Leo turned to his cousin.

"Do you know what happened recently during your absence?" Leo asked again, his tone of voice and looking very serious.

Hearing that, Devan shrugged. "You were in an accident, the house in the backyard caught fire, what else happened?"

Suddenly Leo was stunned to hear his cousin's words. "Fire? What do you mean? What is fire?"

"I mean, the house where Deden, Hendra, and Lukman lived was on fire?"

"Is there any other house besides that?"

Hearing that, Leo's breath suddenly dropped. Whereas previously he was not too worried about the disappearance of his cellphone, because he could still get the evidence again in the CCTV room of the house in the backyard. He never thought he would lose evidence so easily.

Suddenly he had a thought, that someone had deliberately set the house on fire and also managed to get him into an accident just to get rid of the evidence. No one know, the thought suddenly popped into his mind, considering how cunning Byanca had been all this time.

Devan who saw Leo's silence frowned, "What are you doing again? What's wrong? Did your brain shift after an accident?"

"Devan, you have to see Anna, now. Get that girl away from this town," Leo replied a response that added to the man's confusion.

"What are you saying?"

Leo took a deep breath then exhaled slowly, "I want to ask you first."

Devan was confused again.

"Did you ever sleep with Byanca? I mean do that with her?"

"What do you want to say? if I just want to say weird things like this, I better go. Seeing you speak incoherently makes me believe that you're healed, Leo."

"I'm serious, Devan, listen to me first. I have no intention of playing games with you," Leo replied at the same time, preventing Devan who seemed to want to move from his position.

"Aunt Seira warned Anna, and said that Byanca is pregnant because of you, she still has a lot to say in front of Anna, I'm just telling you the outline. I've been trying to contact you but your contacts are always out of reach."

"Anna has been sick for the past few days, the girl is very depressed. I'm worried she's okay, Devan. I'm afraid that Byanca or your mother will come to her again and tell her to leave or even hurt her," he added.

"And regarding what's on my phone, I have evidence that Byanca was playing with another guy behind your back. I got that evidence from the CCTV room in your workers' house."

"But now, I don't know anymore. I lost the evidence, and the house caught fire. Now we don't have any more evidence," Leo said continuously without pause.

Right after Leo's words finished, Devan rose from his position. His hands were clenched into fists, his eyes suddenly became very sharp, his jaw tightened.

"Where are you going? Wait a minute, I haven't spoken to Devan," said Leo, who managed to grab his cousin's wrist with difficulty.

"Aaron is already at Anna's house, I have to go there now," Devan replied turning to Leo. His breath was hoarse. His mind was cloudy, suddenly he was very afraid if Anna suddenly disappeared again like before.

"Aaron? Who is he? And why visit Anna? Did I miss something?" Leo's brow furrowed in confusion.

"He's from Anna's family, to be precise the younger brother of his father. Aaron Smith" answered Devan immediately.

"Smith Family?" Leo muttered trying to remember a name that sounded familiar to him.

"Okay, let go of your hand," said Devan.

"I think I've heard that name. How do you know that she's Anna's family? And also, how did you know he was visiting Anna?" Leo asked, still holding his cousin's wrist.

"It's a long story. Now let go of your hands," said Devan.

"I have to visit Anna," he added.

Hearing that Leo immediately let go of Devan's hand. "Okay, be careful," he said.

Devan didn't respond anymore and immediately walked out of the room with wide strides, it was very clear that the man was in a hurry.

Watching his cousin disappear behind the door, Leo took a shaky breath and looked straight back at the ceiling, as if he was thinking about something.

While on the other hand, Devan who came out of Leo's room continued to walk, past Oma and the others without a word.

"Devan, where are you going, honey?" Seira suddenly appears and crosses paths with her son.

"What about Leo? What are you two talking about?" she added as he grabbed Devan's arm, trying to restrain the man.

It's just, what Seira never expected to happen. Devan slapped her hand hard making her flinch in surprise.

"I will not forgive Mama if anything happens to Anna," said Devan in a voice that sounded very cold, then walked away and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Seira froze on the spot, the first time she saw Devan looking at her like that. And what the man said also reached the ears of Grandma and the others.. Makes anyone frown in confusion.
