Fever

Mr. Reno tried to find a way for an orphanage foundation to accept Zarius. Considering that Zarius is 17 years old, it seems that it will be difficult to find an orphanage that will accommodate him.

However, Mr. Reno will do everything possible to make Zarius have a place to live.

Mr. Reno exhaled roughly, many times. He still wanted to take care of the injured Zarius, but he also didn't want to hurt Eric's heart.

"Why do you look sad, Uncle?"

Mr. Reno just shook his head and smiled.

"It's okay. I was just worried about you, Son."

Hearing the words that Mr. Reno said sincerely, Zarius was moved. He promised to repay the grown man's kindness one day.

"Okay, now get some rest! Hope your fever goes down quickly." Mr. Reno said. He adjusted Zarius' pillow, and lifted Zarius' blanket up to his chest.

"Thank you." Zarius said weakly.

Mr. Reno gently stroked Zarius' hair before he finally left the room.

Mr. Reno will go to catch up with Eric, who is said to be playing at a friend's house. However, until it was evening, Eric had not come home.

Mr. Reno was overprotective because he was afraid that Eric would suffer the same fate as Rafael at that time.

***

This morning, Zarius woke up in the narrow room belonging to the humble Yudhisthira family.

When Zarius opened his eyes, there was already Taun Rendi beside him and taking care of him.

Zarius was sure that by now the evil young man must have left for school. Otherwise, Eric would have been furious when Mr. Rendi paid more attention to Zarius.

Although Mr. Reno looks like an ordinary man, but he also has the ability to take care of sick people like this. Sometimes, if Eric or Rafael is sick, then Mr. Reno will take care of his own sons. Exactly the same as Mr. Reno who is taking care of Zarius at this time.

"I don't know what the problem is that you are so badly injured right now. However, I can only help you by telling the address of this orphanage that will accommodate you. After that, it's up to you what you will do, Son." Mr. Reno spoke again.

Zarius flashed a smile again.

"That is more than enough, Uncle. I am very, very grateful," said Zarius.

In fact, he thought to himself that maybe the address was useless because Zarius didn't know the streets of this city.

"If you're worried about the way to the orphanage. I've written down all the ways to get there safely. You just need to take the train and then take the bus. I've explained everything along with the address. I've also prepared everything so you don't get lost, including the number of the bus you will be taking."

When he said this, Mr. Reno pointed to a piece of paper and several 100 thousand rupiah notes.

"Ah, thank you very much, Uncle." Zarius said quietly in a still hoarse voice.

Zarius covered his eyes with his right arm. While his left hand is still holding the portable oxygen in case he has difficulty breathing again.

He didn't know since when Zarius had experienced this so often. All Zarius remembered was that he had last night talking in the backyard with Mr. Rendi. After that, Zarius suddenly felt dizzy, nauseous and weak. After that, Zarius didn't remember anything else.

"Zarius ... forgive me before!"

Mr. Reno spoke softly. He seemed to be about to say something serious earlier. However, he was afraid that Zarius would be shaken and feel sad.

Moreover, Zarius's current condition is still feverish and Zarius' body is very weak. The fever reliever injection was the second injection, after last night Mr. Reno also gave the same injection to Zarius. However, the handsome teenager's fever hasn't gone down yet.

Zarius lowered the arm he previously used to cover his eyes. Zarius looked at Mr. Reno who was still sitting next to the bed where he lay.

"Sorry for what, Uncle?" softly.
