Love Redux: Fated to the Handsome Doctor

Lara disappeared overnight, and Seno couldn’t find any trace of her anywhere! The man was furious and swore to teach his naughty wife a lesson!

“How dare she run away! I’ll teach her a lesson!” Seno growled as he squeezed his phone, which had been unsuccessful in contacting his wife. He received no feedback. Lara’s phone was inactive.

Seno finally hired a private detective to locate his wife. He intentionally avoided contacting the police because he didn’t want to deal with complicated procedural matters. Seno tried to avoid police involvement in every matter as much as possible.

His consideration was not without reason because… Seno himself was actually… a criminal!

“How is it? Have you found her? Where is my wife now?” Seno pressed when contacting the detective he had hired. He had been waiting for five hours, and Seno couldn’t bear to continue this disappointing investigation.

He could fire the detective and not pay a penny if his wife wasn’t found soon.

“Sir! Mrs. Lara is around the Central Market. We found the traces of her online taxi booking there!”

Seno heard the news with a puzzled expression. Anger and disappointment clung tightly to his heart. Without further ado, he immediately headed towards the Central Market. His car sped at high speed, reflecting the tension and uncertainty that plagued his heart and mind.

Arriving at the Central Market, Seno felt the anger dominating his heart, his heart pounding, the veins in his neck suddenly tense. The private detective he had hired was waiting there, in the market parking area. The man quickly provided a brief report on the traces of the online taxi booking found.

“Seno, we found out that the taxi Mrs. Lara took was heading east from here. We followed that route and found the location where her phone was last detected,” the detective explained firmly and straightforwardly.

“And then? Where is she now?” Seno urged with fiery red eyes.

“She is in a boarding house not far from here. But we advise you to stay calm and be cautious. There may be certain reasons why Mrs. Lara chose to go there,” the detective advised wisely.

“No need to advise me!” Seno yelled.

“V-very well, Sir.”

The detective fell silent. He turned off his motorcycle engine and then quickly got into Seno’s car after receiving instructions to search for Lara together and not cause a scene.

Without waiting any longer, Seno immediately headed in the direction recommended by the detective. The boarding house in question was not far from the Central Market. The tension in the air became more palpable, and Seno’s mind was filled with various bad scenarios that might occur.

“Madness! At this time of night, she’s in a boarding house? Whose boarding house?!” Seno muttered as he continued to drive his car through the cold night.

The street shown by the detective was narrow enough for a four-wheeled vehicle to pass. Seno had to find a way to prevent his car from colliding with the tightly packed walls.

In the darkness of the night, Seno’s car sped quickly along the narrow road towards the boarding house indicated as Lara’s whereabouts. The private detective sitting next to him continued to give instructions and guide them through the small streets.

The distance between the car and the indicated location was getting closer. Seno felt his heart beating faster, adrenaline peaked, and curiosity mixed with worry dominated his mind. In his mind, various possibilities about why Lara was there quickly emerged.

“Is Lara having an affair to get back at me?”

Seno continued to think badly about his wife. He was afraid that Lara would run away with their only child. It would be a loss for Seno. He didn’t care much about Lara. Seno only worried about the sole child in her womb.

“In front of you, turn left, Sir.”

As the car approached the deserted boarding house, the private detective told Seno to stop a few meters before so as not to attract attention. After all, they were still assuming. Lara might not necessarily be there.

However, how could they confirm it without seeing with their own eyes? That’s why they immediately went to the location suspected to be Lara’s hiding place.

“That green-painted house?” Seno asked, trying to confirm.

The detective nodded.

Seno immediately pulled over his car on the side of the road, not far from the green-painted boarding house. The two of them got out of the car cautiously, trying to minimize noise so as not to wake the surrounding residents.

“We need to act cautiously. Don’t let the situation escalate, Sir,” the detective said in a low voice.

Seno only nodded with eyes full of tension. They approached the door of the boarding house. The detective knocked gently, but there was no answer. Seno felt his heart pounding in his throat. He couldn’t wait any longer to catch his wild wife red-handed.

“Excuse me ….”

The detective knocked on the door again. However, the desired response was still not obtained.

“Mrs. Lara, if you are here, please let us know. We just want to talk,” the detective said again softly, trying to penetrate the closed door without posing a threat.

Unfortunately, there was still no response from inside the house. The detective nodded at Seno and promptly tried to open the unlocked door. They entered the house cautiously, trying not to make too much noise.

The house felt empty, dim, and the tense atmosphere filled the air. They checked every room, searching for Lara’s whereabouts.

“OWW!”

Seno screamed as he stumbled over something. Who would have thought that… it was the body of a man!

“Hey! Who are you guys!”

The big man got up with a hoarse voice typical of someone who had just woken up. He immediately turned on the light and put on his glasses.

“D-doctor?” Seno recognized the face. Dr. Andre. The doctor who had treated his wife before.

“Mr. Seno?” Andre also recognized him. They both stared at each other for a long time.

In the already bright situation, Seno began to pay attention to his surroundings. He just realized that… Lara was sleeping in front of him. On the thin and shabby mattress on the floor.

“LARA!” Seno shouted spontaneously. He couldn’t contain his anger.

Lara startled. She opened her eyes a little later… surprised by Seno’s sudden arrival as if catching her off guard.

“Seno?”

“Lara! What are you doing here!”

“Uh…” Lara’s head throbbed as if responding to this sudden surprise. She suddenly felt dizzy and leaned against the slightly peeled walls of Bi Yani’s house.

Seno immediately pulled her closer and prepared to leave this poor man’s boarding house. “You! How could you be here?” Seno angrily reprimanded.

Lara was still dizzy. She only answered casually. “I’m looking for Bi Yani. You fired her.”

“L-Lara!” Seno didn’t accept it because it seemed as if he was blamed for Lara’s departure, making today hellish. Seno really couldn’t accept his wife’s indifferent explanation.

“Why are you here, doctor? And what are you doing in this boarding house?” Seno demanded in a high tone.

Andre looked at Seno with an explanatory gaze. “I know this may be hard to understand, Mr. Seno, but let me explain.”

Seno interrupted him, “Don’t play games!”

Dr. Andre seemed to have difficulty starting the explanation. “I’m here to provide assistance to Bi Yani. There are some problems that need immediate attention.”

“Problems? Why in this boarding house? What’s the problem, anyway?”

Andre tried to explain, “Bi Yani … just experienced a tragedy. Her husband died in an accident.”

Seno became even angrier. “So, what does all this have to do with you and my wife? You… are you having an affair behind my back?!”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Seno! Watch your mouth!” Lara also shouted. This time, she wouldn’t stay silent.

“Mr. Seno, I know this sounds like an excuse, but the situation is complicated. Bi Yani needs special protection and attention now. I’m just doing this as an officer.”

“Nonsense!”

“Seno!”

Lara slapped Seno reflexively. This time, Andre pushed him away and kicked him out. “Outrageous! What kind of man hits a woman! You’re truly a coward!”

Andre almost landed a punch on Seno’s cheek, but Lara stopped him. She didn’t want any fighting here, and the situation was becoming more uncontrollable.

“I’m fine.” Lara pleaded with Andre not to prolong this issue. She then turned around and spoke loudly to her unreasonable husband.

“Go back, if you don’t want me to report to the police now.”

“Report to the police? I’ll report you for cheating on me!”

“Oh yeah? Did you say that? Sure? This cheek is still red and… your nude photos with Olivia are still stored in my phone gallery. Do you want to bet, Mr. CEO?”

Seno gritted his teeth. How could Lara threaten him like that. “Damn it!” He growled in anger. Without much ado, Seno left and left Lara according to her wishes.

After Seno left, Lara began to cry.

“Lara ….” Andre called out pitifully. He didn’t expect to witness violence like this in front of his eyes. “I won’t forgive that bastard!”
