Chapter 162 - Feel Guilty
At eight o'clock in the morning, Luna just had time to hold her smartphone after taking care of Keenan and Keyra who was fussy last night. Even the two babies could only sleep soundly at two o'clock at night, it made her, her mother, and babysitter stay up too late to look after them.
With eyes still sleepy and yawning several times, Luna checked her smartphone. Seen there are many missed calls from Ethan, Ira, Andrew, and also Nathalie. due to the large number of incoming calls and it was unusual, she decided to call one of them.
Luna contacted Ethan several times before connecting.
"Hello, Ethan. What was the call last night?"
"It is okay. I just miss you and the twins," replied Ethan, sounding sad. Luna felt that her husband was not feeling well. Moreover, his workers had also called many times last night.
"What's wrong, Ethan? Why does your voice sound so weak, are you sick?" asked Luna curtly, because she didn't like it when Ethan was being secretive.
"I just have a stomach ache," Ethan replied, sounding weak. "How are the twins? I miss them so much."
Luna sighed then said, "they are sick. why did your stomach relapse, did you intentionally not eat because you were busy?"
"What are the twins sick, are they fussy?"
"Yes, last night I didn't have time to pick up the phone because they were fussy."
Tut... tut... tutt....
Suddenly the phone line was disconnected. Luna tries to call Ethan again but the number is no longer active.
"Why is it disconnected, could it be that the battery is low?" Luna guessed while looking at her smartphone. She kept remembering that Ethan's voice sounded very weak. it made her worry and feel like she just wanted to go home, but it seemed impossible to ask to be picked up because Ethan was sick too. Keenan and Keyra are also still not recovering.
'What should I do?' Luna thought angrily with her arms crossed by biting her thumbnails.
Rita entered Luna's room while holding Keenan who was crying. The baby is still fussy when he feels thirsty but is always in pain when he wants to drink milk or suck his mother's nipple.
"Where's the ointment? Keenan continues to cry if he is not given the medicine," said Rita angrily.
Luna turned to look at the still fussy Keenan, then stretched out her hand. "Let me carry him, Mom. I'll give you the medicine the doctor gave me last night," she said angrily.
"Keyra has calmed down a bit, but Keenan is still in pain," Rita muttered while watching Keenan who was being soothed by Luna. The daughter deftly carried him while smearing liquid medicine on his lips, so he wouldn't be in pain anymore when he was about to drink milk.
"Is it because gua dad is also sick, Mom? I feel guilty for separating them. Am I being too selfish?" For some reason, Luna became weak when she heard Ethan was sick along with his son.
"What's wrong with Ethan?" asked Rita with a probing look.
"He said he had stomach ulcers, but he sounded very weak, Mom," answered Luna sadly. She remembers well how her husband if he was sick, would be very spoiled. Slowly her hatred faded into guilt for not being able to take care of her husband.
"You should ask to be picked up when the twins are healed and Ethan is also healed. I also don't like seeing you far from their husbands," said Rita
"Yes, mom. I'll tell him later," replied Luna while cradling Keenan who was looking at the ointment he gave. hopefully, after that, he will drink milk and not fussy.

Ethan felt better after last night's meds from the doctor. He immediately got out of bed and walked with a limp ledge out of the room towards the upstairs room. when he got there, the man immediately took a shower because last night he was too weak and didn't have time to take a shower.
After bathing, Ethan immediately put on casual clothes because today was Sunday. He wore short pants combined with a black t-shirt, then combed his hair with a haircut style.
drett ... drett ...
Ethan's smartphone on the bed rang to the tune of Maroon 5's song entitled "Memories". He quickly walked over to the bed and grabbed his phone. Seen an alarm reminder that reads "Happy birthday My Wife".
Ethan immediately put his phone back, then walked to the closet. He took his sizable backpack, then started packing some of his clothes.
'I have to follow her because tomorrow is her
birthday. I don't care if he refuses to come home, I will still come because Keenan and Keyra are also sick. I have to see how they are.' Ethan thought. He had deliberately put Luna's birthday in mind the day before, so he could surprise her.
finished packing, Ethan immediately put on his backpack and shoes, then took his smartphone. The man rushed out of the room. Although not very healthy, he will be desperate to meet Luna who is currently in the city of Batam.
"Prepare for a flight to Batam at three in the afternoon," Ethan called out to someone on the phone. He must be contacting the manager of his private jet.
"Sur, where are you going? Better have breakfast first." Ira seemed to see that Ethan was going to leave even though he was sick.
"I'll just have breakfast outside, Ra," said Ethan as he walked out of the house to the car garage. He got into one of the cars he wasn't used to because Andrew had taken his car last night.
Ethan drove his car at high speed towards Andrew's house. I don't know what the man will do, maybe he will invite his trusted employee to come to Batam.

Elsewhere, Edward stared lazily at the guest who had broken his mood in the morning. The guest was Mike who was currently sitting in the garden beside the house with Sarah.
although he does not love his wife, there is a sense of irritation and jealousy when he sees her with another man.
Edward stood leaning against the wall with his arms crossed watching Mike and Sarah's activities. They both looked very familiar in Edward's eyes.
Sarah is seen continuing to approach Mike when she is married to Edward. It made Edward feel like he was being toyed with. Moreover, Hans severely restrained him as a son-in-law. Ah, that must be very uncomfortable.
"Don't you have anything to do besides visit people's wives, Mike?" Edward asked as he approached Mike and Sarah.
"What do you mean talking to Mika like that? He came because he just wanted to see how I was doing." Sarah didn't like Edward's question, which seemed to be mocking Mike.
"Sarah, you should know yourself. A wife should not be close to another man. Especially since I've been here and you don't think I exist." Edward grunted at his wife who was defending another man.
"Mike is my friend, he understands me better than you. It's up to me if I want to be with him. because I'm always comfortable around him," Sarah said as she put her arm around Mike's arm. Ah, you crazy girl.
Mike just stood there smiling triumphantly at Sarah's always defending him.
"Actually, what is your purpose in asking me to marry you? You just want to show off your affection with this friend of yours!" Edward pointed at Mike with a disgusted look.
"I love you, Edward. He and I are just close friends," Sarah explained and pulled Mike into the house. "Come on, Mike. There's no point in talking to a husband who still wants someone else's wife."
Sarah quipped Edward who was too obsessed with Luna. Meanwhile, Edward just stood still with annoyance because Sarah was much worse than Viona.
