Kapitel 22: Dilemma
Carlos came out of his house, carrying a medium-sized backpack, there were some clothes in it.
Today Carlos is going to London. He had gotten Alice's home address from Bella.
"Alice, I will fight for my love, Alice," he said with a confident smile.
He started to walk, but someone called out to him.
"Carlos!" shouted a middle-aged woman.
"Madam Ella?" Carlos stopped in his tracks.
"Carlos, please don't go yet, Carlos!" The woman was trying to stop Carlos.
"What's the matter, Madam?"
"Carlos! Caroline! Caroline!" The woman looks panicked.
"Calm yourself, Madam! Tell me slowly,"
Carlos took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack.
"Drink first to calm down, Madam," said Carlos.
The woman grabbed the bottle and drank it, after feeling calm, the woman told the story.
"Caroline suddenly fainted, and now she's delirious calling your name, Carlos!" she explained.
"What?!" Carlos looked shocked to hear that.
"Come on, Carlos! Please meet her!" The middle-aged woman pulled Carlos' hand forcibly.
"O-okay, Madam!"
Carlos is pulled into her house, to meet Caroline who is sick.
Caroline lay on the bed, damp cloth over her forehead.
"Carlos, Carlos… I beg you don't leave me, Carlos…." She kept delirious.
Carlos immediately approached.
"Carol, what are you doing?" Carlos touched the girl's forehead.
"Ah, you have a high fever?!" Carlos stood back up and looked at Ella who was crying frantically beside her.
"Madam. Ella, why not take her to the hospital!?"
"Carlos, I'm just home alone with her, how could I possibly take her to the hospital!" Ella replied.
"Okay, let's take her to the hospital now!" said Carlos.
"No need! I called her uncle who is a doctor, and now he's on his way here!" said Ella.
"Is that true?!" Carlos sat back down and tried to resuscitate Caroline.
"Caroline, can't you hear me? Come on, Carol, it's me, Carlos," Carlos said while stroking her hair, and the man also repeatedly changed the compress on Caroline's forehead.
"Why are you so sick? Why didn't you call me anyway?" Carlos muttered.
Caroline was still unconscious, she was still closing her eyes with a mouth delirious.
Not long after, a middle-aged man came up to them.
He is Alvin, Caroline's uncle, or who is familiarly called Dr. Alvin.
"Excuse me, can you step aside for a moment, I'll check on her!" said the man, Carlos immediately stood up and walked away.
And immediately Alvin checked Caroline's condition.
Meanwhile, Carlos and Ella were waiting for him outside.
"Fortunately, Madam, was at the apartment, if not? I don't know what will happen to Caroline next," said Carlos.
"Incidentally, I've been here since yesterday, Caroline said, she wasn't feeling well, so I came straight away," Ella explained.
'Since yesterday Caroline, hasn't been feeling well, but why didn't she tell me? And why did she even tell her mother? Even though her mother's house is very far away, is she angry with me?' Carlos spoke in his mind.
Then Dr. Alvin came out of Caroline's room.
Ella and Carlos immediately stood up.
"Alvin, how is my daughter?" Ella asked.
"She's okay, she just has a fever and a little high blood pressure, I think this kid is thinking a lot," said Alvin, "let her rest Ella, and after that, you try to ask slowly about what's weighing on her mind," said Alvin.
Hearing Alvin's explanation made Carlos feel guilty, he was sure that Caroline was sick because she thinking about it.
Indeed from the start, she was against Carlos's decision to see Alice, although, in the end, she allowed Carlos to meet her. Carlos knows that Caroline's decision was taken because she had to.
Realizing this, Carlos gave up his intention to go to London. It was too cruel to leave Caroline when she was sick like this.
Carlos rushed into the room to meet Caroline.
The girl had also regained consciousness but was still lying on the bed weakly.
"Carol! Are you all right?" Carlos asked.
"You, don't go to London?" Caroline asked back.
"No," Carlos sat down beside the bed.
"Why didn't you tell me you weren't feeling well yesterday?" Carlos asked, stroking Carol's forehead.
"... why should I tell you? I am, not your wife?" answered Caroline with a sour face.
Carlos was silent for a moment, don't know if he should respond?
He had hurt Caroline's heart.
It was clear that this girl loved him very much, but he wanted to meet his ex-wife instead.
Carlos is in a dilemma, on the other hand, he wants to meet Alice, but on the other hand, he can't leave Caroline.

In the cellar, Sea returned with a basket of fruit for the corpses.
"Hello everyone, good afternoon," Sea greeted them.
She placed the fruit basket on the table, then walked over to Archer.
"Good afternoon Mr. Archer, you just woke up huh?" Sea smiled kindly.
"Hey, Crazy Girl! You left me here with wounds all over my body!" snapped Archer.
"Don't be angry, Mr, I will treat your wound." Sea reached for the medicine box.
"These wounds need to be treated right away, otherwise they will get worse, and at worst they will rot and maggots." Sea grabbed a cotton swab and wet it with rubbing alcohol.
"AHH!" Archer winced in pain.
"It does sting a little," Sea even splashed the wound with a bottle of alcohol directly.
"AH! YOU ARE CRAZY UP!" shouted Archer writhing slightly.
Sea slammed the bottle with an angry expression.
"How dare you speak in such a high tone in front of me?! Are you, already tired of living?!" She threatened.
"Therefore please let me go, Sea! What is your purpose in keeping me here?! What did I do wrong?!"
Plak!
Sea slapped Archer in the face.
"You're still asking what's wrong about you!" asked Sea.
"What did I do wrong?! I didn't do anything wrong to you?! Even I just met you!" Archer showed his anger, but unfortunately, he couldn't do anything about it, his hands and feet were still tied, plus all the injuries all over his body made it even more difficult to move.
Archer didn't know how long he would be in this place, even his hopes of getting out were slim. The only thing in the 35-year-old's shadow is death.
"Mr, do you want to get well soon?" whispered Sea.
Those words were in a mocking tone and made the aching Archer even angrier.
'Tch!' Archer spat in Sea's face.
"You devil! Let me go!" Archer cursed.
Sea smirked while wiping the drool from her face.
"Alright, your resistance convinced me to kill you now," Sea brought his face closer, "Mr. Archer!" The girl attacks again.
