Beautiful Impostor (The Beautiful Bastard)
Chapter 42

The sound of 'beeping' sounds constant in the room measuring 4x5 m² it. The distinctive smell of the hospital and the fishy smell of the wounds that never dried out throughout the room. But Aurel didn't care about it. The safety of the father is primary.

If only Aurel did not call Tomo before entering the roof top area to call the fire department and prepare a safety net which was then unfurled by the drone so no need to wait for the body to fall down.

But Lily cannot be saved other than because the net is only enough for one person, also because Tomo was ordered to focus on the safety of the father.

As a result, Lily finds her way back to the afterlife.

Aurel who was asleep in a position to lay his head on the gurney of the father, with his hands tightly grasped the hand of the father, was surprised by the reaction of the movement of the hand he held.

"Dad.. father..did you realize? It's Alma, yeah.."

Aurel then called the nurse on duty through the button above the head of the gurney.

Aurel continued to try to call the father's name to quickly wake up while waiting for paramedics to come to check the vital condition of the father who had been unconscious since falling from the roof of the building.

Aurel made room for medics to examine the Baron.

At the same time, Nathan came with a paper bag containing a change of clothes for Aurel and breakfast for the two of them.

Aurel barely slept all night because he was worried about his father's condition.

He also did not want to eat the food Nathan bought to just stuff his stomach.

But at his persuasion, Aurel finally wanted to eat food that only his stomach felt hungry after the food landed on his tongue.

"How's it going, doc?" aurel asked worriedly.

The doctor then opened the mask to explain to Aurel, but immediately Nathan grasped Aurel's arm because the doctor looked very handsome.

He should have been a better fit as a k-drama actor, Nathan thought.

"In addition to his diabetes, your father is stable. Now that he was sleeping, his sedative effect had not completely disappeared. But you don't have to worry. Maybe in a few more days your father can go home" he explained, making Aurel sigh in relief.

"Thank God. What about his wounds?" continued Aurel.

"For his injuries, you can call a nurse to take care of him at home so that the patient feels more comfortable if treated at home. Or I could call you if you need-"

"It looks like you're very busy, let us just call the nurse" Nathan cut up with a ketus.

It's good to take a chance in a pile of public funds.

Surprisingly, when the doctor named Edward was quiet, he seemed to blink one eye at Nathan.

"Did he blink one eye at you?" aurel asked confusedly.

"What do you want, you, who are promised?" nathan opened his eyes.

"Don't you mind getting a pretty guy?" Aurel asked back to make Nathan petrified for a moment.

"Yes too. If he didn't get you, when he won me?" nathan murmured softly but was heard by Aurel who immediately chuckled.

"Amit amiiit.. jabang baby.." he continued muttering while tapping his head with a fist and then switching to knocking on the table.

Aurel was getting worse.

"l.. Alma.." raved Baron hoarsely in his sleep. Aurel who was enjoying the feed after the bribe given Nathan suddenly turned to the origin of the sound.

"Dad.." he exclaimed then rushed up and approached the gurney of the father.

The baron looked exhausted in opening his eyelids.

Apply it occasionally to get used to the light that enters the retina.

"Astrid" cried the weak Baron when his eyes caught Aurel's still faint shadow and he believed that the faint shadow belonged to his late wife.

"Dad.. It's Alma.. Do you need anything?" aurel asked after convincing the Baron if the one in front of him was the child, not the late wife.

"Imma? Why...why are you coming with me?" ask Baron then. Aurel tries to digest the father's question. Is his father still dreaming? or continue the story in his dream?

"Lord Baron, how's it going?" nathan asked who was approaching the gurney.

The Baron's cry stopped immediately.

"You.. Mr Nathan? what are you doing here?" asked Baron astonished by the presence of his business rivals.

"I'm accompanying your daughter, sir" Nathan replied with a friendly smile.

"In company? to afterlife?" asked Baron furrowing his forehead.

"Ayaaah.." Aurel's spoiled protest while slapping his father's hand and pinching him with anxiety made Baron grimace.

"Ouch...." The baron rubbed his hands that felt hot.

"ill? in the afterlife can you get sick?" an anxious Aurel who again pinched the pinch in the hands of the Baron.

Although it was hot, but Baron chuckled also with the spoiled attitude of the child he missed.

"Hello, uncle. How's condition?" greet Alfred in between the warmth of father and son who had been frozen for a long time.

Aurel and Nathan also Baron simultaneously turned to the origin of the voice.

"Hey, Alfred. Here son, I haven't seen you in a long time. Uncle is fine now" greeted Baron kindly.

"Now, breakfast first" Alfred mengangkurkan parcel containing chicken porridge Aurel's favorite.

"Religion.." Aurel enthusiastically received the package containing his favorite breakfast menu and immediately took it to the table.

Nathan looked at that excited expression with a dislike look.

"I've brought him breakfast" Nathan said with a frown but Alfred responded casually.

"It doesn't matter if he has breakfast or not, because if he meets chicken porridge, he will definitely eat again"

"Haha.. Alfred. You know my daughter very well. Thank goodness you are close. It's not in vain that my wife and I entrust her to you. Next week he will be 22 years old. My wife and I have agreed with your parents to get you married" Baron said, surprising the three people in the room.

"What?"

"What?"

"Uhuk uhuk..." Aurel chokes on chicken porridge that has been given sambal.
