Chapter 183 - 183 ( Twice )

Sofia looked directly at the two of them with a displeased look. Especially to Dirga who even apologized for things that were not needed. Sofia immediately protested to him.

"Why do you have to apologize? Don't we as a family need to know about the problems that befell my granddaughter-in-law?"

Sofia then looked at her grandson.

"And you! Why didn't you tell us about this important matter? Do you think we never existed?!" Sofia asked disapprovingly of the way her grandson loved to keep things a secret even about their fake marriage.

Lily and Christina joined in and agreed with their mother and grandmother's words.

"Right, Harry. Why did you keep it a secret from us? Shouldn't you immediately inform us of this as soon as possible?" said Christina who came directly here when her grandmother contacted her regarding her cousin-in-law's problem

Lily also didn't look happy with the way her nephew preferred to play mysterious. Lily then asked anxiously.

"Are you all right dear?" Lily asked as she walked closer to Cleo and gave her a worried look.

Sofia and Christina came closer to her.

The other four friends looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.

Cleo had already answered that question with certainty.

"I'm getting better. So you all have nothing to worry about, Aunt, Grandma, and Tina." Cleo said as she called her three extended families with a friendly and reassuring smile.

Doctor Angga then asked everyone not to gather too much in the room because even though the VVIP room was quite spacious. Their number exceeds the capacity of visitors who should come to visit.

"This will affect the patient's calm. So for that, you should not be here for too long. I need to talk to the guardian," Doctor Angga then asked Harry to come out with him to talk about something.

Harry then nodded and followed him. Doctor Angga looked straight at Harry when they were both outsides.

"Regarding the matter, I have mentioned before, I still need to have a counseling session with your wife. You'd better take your wife to see me later after all of your family and friends have had their fill of visiting. I'll wait for you at the office and leave first."

Doctor Angga gave time for everyone to channel their anxieties and worries to talk to his patient.

Harry then nodded in understanding and went back into the room.

Everyone seemed to have surrounded Cleo like a spectacle. Asked lots of questions and other more detailed things about what really happened. Dirga himself certainly had not said anything in detail.

So Harry went straight in the middle to ask everyone to keep their distance.

"Aren't you asking too many questions?" said Harry displeased as everyone suddenly became very enthusiastic.

Everyone seemed to object.

"Why do you look so displeased?" asked Alfin, voicing everyone's objections.

Sofia countered, "It's only natural that we ask a lot because we're really worried about her. Instead of us asking you and even pestering you, you certainly won't tell anything,"

"Of course we'd better ask the source," Christina agreed to her grandmother's words.

Harry was looking at her with a displeased look. Lily was silent. Arthur, Luan, and Reihan could understand the situation a little but didn't join in defending anyone.

Harry folded his arms in front of him. Cleo automatically tried to lighten his mood.

"Don't be rude to your family. Didn't they come here because they were worried about me?" Cleo tried to persuade Harry. Cleo added.

"After all, they're the same as you who was curious about something when all of this happened. Did you forget that you asked me a lot of questions earlier too?" Cleo teased on purpose and Christina followed her.

"Look! You're even very curious, let alone us?!" Christina who didn't want to be blamed was defending everyone who was on the same side as her.

Cleo was already smiling a little and laugh at Christina's sarcasm at Harry. Sofia had hugged Cleo back very affectionately to show her care and concern.

"Thank you for worrying about me. And thanks for your hugs," Cleo flattered by the amount of concern paid to her.

And thinking of that she would not have been possible to get this if she had not married Harry.

Sofia then looked at some men fiercely.

"I know you guys work for my grandson. But is this your way of doing your job?" Sofia looked at Luan, Arthur, and Dirga at the same time. Reihan and Alfin who were near them felt offended too.

"We admit the big mistake we have made by taking the opponent lightly and putting Cleo in danger. Me and my whole team apologize. And we will tighten the guard, of course." Harry represented his team.

Cleo set her sights on him.

"What do you mean by tightening the guard? Do I still need to be guarded once the two criminals have been caught?"

This time Harry planned to provide 10 times more stringent guard than before. And then Cleo, of course, must accept this decision even if she didn't like it.

"The criminal has been caught. However, other criminals may be still everywhere and want to target you. I don't want to take a risk for the third time. This is an order!" said Harry firmly.

"Just imagine. It's not the first time, but it had the second time you've almost been hurt because of my carelessness. Do you think I can still tolerate it?"

Cleo seemed involved in despair and disappointment.

"But I don't like being watched! After all, isn't this do not your fault? Why are you blaming yourself instead?" Cleo didn't understand.

Harry was silent.

Arthur and Luan initially looked at each other. Luan took a step to speak.

"This isn't really Harry's fault. But the fact that it was Harry who caused all these problems to develop is still unavoidable."

Everyone who did not understand then wondered.

"What do you mean?" Cleo's questions represent everyone's thoughts.

Luan looked directly at Harry to ask.

"Can I explain this matter in more detail?" Luan asked permission first. Harry cast his gaze to the other side. Everyone was suddenly confused.

Dirga immediately translated it.

"Allowed! Mr. Harry allowed it. Mr. Luan may continue."

Luan then continued his explanation. For described the actual situation, Luan looked at Cleo first, to begin with.

"You've experienced this unfortunate incident twice in almost the same time. First, at the construction site where you managed to avoid it. So, you're can thank your friend Willy for saving you. Then the second is today. When you almost, sorry, harassed. You're still lucky that you survived because Harry came quite a on time."

"Of those two incidents, the first one was caused by Aretta. And the second possibility is also her idea by using Martha to make her actions easier."

"We have found accurate data about those who had met. And after that, Martha then immediately ordered people to kidnap you,"

The women's looked worried, including Dirga who also just found out about this problem.

"So, the most important point here is Harry. Because they are not happy with the closeness of the two of you, then they went this far. You certainly have to be careful and listen to your husband's words from now on. That's my advice if you don't want something like this to happen again."

Everyone is stunned.

Especially Cleo who was already looking at him nervously.

Luan suddenly remembered something.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Luan, in case you don't know."

Cleo looked at Harry.

"Is what he said true?" She asked while looking straight at him.

Sofia was amazed too.

"So all of this problem was because of that woman?" Sofia looked angry and couldn't believe that such a bad woman still existed.

Lily became furious too.

"How could those women possibly do it? Don't they have a conscience?" She was annoyed and looked at everyone in turn.

An itchy Christina chimed in.

"Of course they have no heart, Mom. That's why they are so evil! Even to fellow women like them. They don't care about safety and maybe even Cleo's life. I'm really pissed off right now!!"

Christina remembered how Willyan was injured by Aretta's actions.

Harry continued his plan again.

"That's why you have to stay under strict guard for 24 hours straight. I will also be your bodyguard," Harry made everyone turn to him. And stared with interest.

"Did you eat something wrong?" asked Alfin who was always the first to respond to strange things that surprised everyone.

Harry didn't seem to care.

Sofia then felt relieved that Harry seemed to have realized his mistake and was willing to correct it. Lily seemed to blush a little when she heard her nephew was so considerate of his wife and felt a little jealous.

Christina was sneering.

"Hem!! What's with your tacky attitude? Even if it wasn't said, everyone also knew that you obviously have to do that! Aren't you saying that too late?" quipped Christina on purpose.

Lily pinched Christina's arm lightly. Lily then laughed sheepishly.

"Ignore! Just ignore what she said!" Lily was telling everyone to ignore her daughter's disrespectful words.

Reihan also voiced his opinion.

"I agree with you, Harry. Of course, you have to do that." Arthur nodded in agreement with Reihan's words as well.

Sofia still wanted to talk about the appropriate punishment for the mastermind who spearheaded this great problem. Sofia then looked at Harry seriously.

"What are you going to do after this? Have you reported her to the police?" Sofia asked coldly.
