"Dave is in a coma, and he's very dehydrated. Doctors have given him treatment. Next, the doctor will do a blood test to find out why he is in such a condition to take further action, Devan," said Mr. Atmadja explaining the current condition of his grandson.
Claire burst into tears. "Where is my son, Dad? I want to see him," the woman stammered.
"Come in, she's in that room, honey," answered Mrs. Seira, the middle-aged woman then accompanied Claire inside. Devan also came with them.
Claire and Devan could only see their son through the glass because they had just arrived. No one was allowed to go inside and see Dave in person without performing the prescribed procedures at the hospital.
While the others just waited outside the room while waiting their turn.
Just a few minutes later, Mr. Aaron arrived. The expression on his face was not much different from the people who were there.
"Uncle, what happened? Where did you find Dave? How can it be like this?" Leo asked the middle-aged man with many questions.
"I don't know what happened either, Leo. It's just a coincidence. When Seira and I had just left your Grandma's room, out of nowhere, a strange man suddenly came and carried Dave in his arms. The conditions are like this," explained Mr. Atmadja.
"Then?"
"He also doesn't know anything, he said he was only helping Dave, nothing more," said Mr. Atmadja.
Hearing that, Leo glanced at Naila who was also looking at him.
"Byanca has gone too far," Leo muttered as he clenched his fists.
"You better tell this to her parents, Leo. This can't be allowed. If Byanca is getting released, we don't know what worse things she can do in the future," Naila suggested.
"Byanca? Who is she? And what does all this have to do with it?" Mr. Aaron asked.
"Before meeting Claire, she was Devan's future wife, sir," answered Naila.
Instantly the wrinkles on his forehead disappeared, Aaron remembered, Claire had told him about someone who had evil intentions when visiting a shopping center.
It turns out that the woman followed her niece to Australia.
This couldn't be allowed, tightening the guard on Claire and Dave wouldn't prevent anything bad from happening if the culprit was still hanging around everywhere.
"Have you ever reported that woman to the police?" asked Mr. Aaron.
Leo and Mr. Atmadja shook their heads. "No, we wanted to do it a while ago, but when we remember the help Byanca's parents have given our family, we feel embarrassed. On behalf of Mrs. Lana and Jerry, we forgive Byanca," said Mr. Atmadja slowly while taking a deep breath.
"At that time, our company almost went bankrupt. Thanks to their help, the Atmadja family can be what they are today. Byanca is the only daughter, reported Byanca to the police, we felt it was a little bit evil."
"Are you still thinking like that today? Dave was hurt because of her, your grandson was hurt, Mr. Atmadja," replied Mr. Aaron.
"If you can't report the woman to the police, then I will. This cannot be allowed to continue. Forgiving her once is more than enough, sir. If you're still thinking that way now, maybe, you don't love your grandson," added Mr. Aaron.
"No, sir. It's not like that. You misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to report her right now, it's just that I also just found out that Byanca was one of the masterminds behind this incident, Sir. What you say is very true. This cannot be tolerated," replied Mr. Atmadja.
They finally agreed to report Byanca to the authorities.
Not only that, the wedding, which will be held in two days, has now been postponed for a while until Dave's condition stabilizes.
They couldn't possibly continue the wedding under these conditions.
In just a few hours, the mass media was shocked again with the latest news about Devan and Claire's wedding.
Even though many guests have arrived and stayed at the hotels that have been provided, they come from various countries. Some of them booked tickets for only a few days, just until the wedding was over.
So that the guests who have come do not feel disappointed and do not feel lost, the Atmadja Family and the Smith Family provide compensation for the accommodation costs that have been used by the guests, not only that, the two families also bear all the needs of the guests until they return to their countries. Including air tickets and other transportation costs.

Elsewhere.
After the departure of Marlin's men, Edrick sat in front of his father's room for hours.
The man looked sad, depressed, regretful and all kinds of negative feelings filled his head.
He didn't even pay attention to his father who had been calling his name.
Yes, Marlin's men said everything that happened, including the accident and condition of Mr. Edward and the woman who was with him.
'No wonder Marlin didn't answer my phone.'
'So now, what should I do?' Edrick was really in a quandary.
"Why are you sitting there?" suddenly a male voice was heard and broke Edrick's focus, at the same time a pair of feet stopped and stood in front of him.
Seeing who it was, Edrick immediately stood up from his position.
"Brian..."
"Why are you sitting there? Where's Daddy? How is he now?" Brian asked.
"He is fine. He regained consciousness a moment ago."
"Good, then I'd like to meet him," Brian said.
"No, don't do it now, Brian. He will ask you many things, I don't want you to say anything bad to him. For now, we just need to be quiet and keep everything a secret, for the sake of his recovery."
"I know something happened to you and Dave, I want to know about it. But now is not the time to talk about it. There's something more important for you to do, Brian. We can talk about Dave or the Smith Family later," he added in one breath.
Brian's brow furrowed, "What is it?"
"Edward was in an accident, he is in critical condition now and has been taken to the hospital, you should visit him there. I am very worried about him."
Brian froze, "An accident? How did you know?"
Marlin was also involved in the accident, he asked his men to report the incident to me.
