About lies

Melvin and Leon enter the VVIP capacity ward where Joey is after undergoing surgery on his leg. They looked at Joey who was still sleeping under the medicine, along with Elena and Jordy who was on the couch.

"Melvin, isn't Alexa coming here?" asked Elena.

Melvin was stunned for a moment, while Leon glanced at him as if hinting to tell the truth.

"Eh, she suddenly went to Yogyakarta, Mom. Her mother suddenly relapsed. So, she had to go there," explained Melvin lying.

"Melvin ...." Elena exhaled roughly, staring at Melvin in surprise. "You should have taken her to Yogyakarta. How can you let your wife go alone at nights like this?"

"Eh..." Melvin got confused. " ...I offered to take her but she said I'd better stay in Jakarta to take care of Joey."

"Is that true?" Elena looked suspicious.
