Two days had passed and Louisa was finally able to go home again now. Even though there was still cotton covering the wound on her forehead, Louisa still insisted on being allowed to go home by Doctor Zack. And of course with the condition that she must stay well rested for the next week. In addition, the house is now also clean and there is no trace of toxic fumes which really made him feel very claustrophobic at that time. On her way home, she was escorted by her new driver to the cemetery, where the bodies of the two guards who had worked with her for four years had been buried previously. Louisa also did not forget to give salaries, bonuses and mourning fees to the families of the guards.
Louisa had just arrived at her house and slowly stepped out of her car. “You can wash this car if you want… I'm not insisting. Besides, after that you can go to rest,” said Louisa to her new driver there.
The new driver named Leo immediately nodded his head slowly. "Okay, Miss. I will wash the car clean. You don't have to worry," he answered excitedly. At least that's because this is a job that can give him a big salary, after two years of working as a regular taxi driver.
Louisa just nodded her head slowly with a straight face. She didn't want to say too much when she started to feel a little dizzy in her head right now. Louisa stepped out of her way to walk into the house. And yes, she went home alone without telling Mr. George, because she didn't want the middle-aged man to talk to her about bodyguards again.
Of course, that was because she wasn't one hundred percent agree with the idea of a bodyguard for her at this point. Louisa walked into the kitchen, took bread and milk from the refrigerator, then brought them to the living room. Placed the bread and milk she'd moved into the plate and glass right on the table and grabbed the television remote to turn it on.
"LATEST NEWS. LOUISA TOMKINS, HAS BEEN BACK TO HER HOME TODAY. THEIR CONDITION IS REPORTED ON STARTING TO IMPROVE A LITTLELY, EVEN THOUGH IT IS STILL NOT COMPLETELY RECOVERED. BUT THE QUESTION WAS WHO DONE THE ATTACK AGAINST TOMKINS HOUSE'S BOOK PUBLISHING HEIST? DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE SUDDEN DEATH OF HER PARENTS FIVE YEARS AGO? UNTIL THERE IS NO DEVELOPMENT OR MORE INFORMATION WE CAN GET, BUT WE WILL INFORM YOU SOON. SEE YOU LATER."
Louisa scrunched her face with an expression filled with anger. Both her palms seemed to be clenched tightly, even making her fingers look like they were starting to turn red from it. Her mouth was tightly shut. Hastily, she turned off the television and took the cell phone that was in her trouser pocket. Dial the cell phone number of the television station she had just seen there.
“Hello, this is Louisa Tomkins. What did your reporter just say on the news? How can you make news like that about me and moreover about my parents who are even dead. What do you mean, huh?! Are you all out of your minds?!!! So don't make unfounded statements. And stop broadcasting the news, before I take any further action.”
After saying all these things Louisa turned off her cellphone without waiting for the answer that the director of the television station would give earlier. She took a shaky breath and massaged his forehead there.
"Wretched. How can they make news like that? Such an idiots…” Louisa mumbled who couldn't stop feeling annoyed and angry right now.
“Louisa!!”
Louisa raised her head and slightly widened her eyes when she saw Mr. George called her and was right at her door now. Louisa got up from her seat and fell silent, still in her shock. Mr. George looked annoyed now. “How can you come back to this house without telling me anything, huh?! Why do you do that? What if something happened to you on the way home, huh?!” said Uncle George incessantly as he stepped into the house.
"Uncle... how will you know if I'm home today?" Louisa asked, because she had previously asked Doctor Zack not to tell Mr. George about her return home.
Mr. George, who was standing right in front of her, immediately frowned deeply. “I looked for you in the inpatient room earlier, and couldn't find you. I asked Doctor Zack, and of course he could never refuse to tell me about your return home. Your attempts to run away from me will still be in vain, Louisa,” replied Mr. George with a small smile on his face.
Of course. Louisa thought yes. "Okay, I'm sorry. I thought, I just wanted to go home alone and didn't want to trouble Uncle. That's all,” answered Louisa in a calm voice. You liar. Louisa's mind answered.
Mr. George finally let out a slow breath and began to nod his head in a faint motion. “Fine… okay, listen to me, Louisa. I came here with someone," said Mr. George explained and started to turn around. "Hey, come on in!" He shouted commandingly.
Louisa frowned and started to stare at the door of her house. Feeling very curious about someone who came with his uncle there. The two sea-blue eyes looked sharp and immediately looked confused when they saw a man with a well-built and muscular body enter her house. He was wearing a black cloth shirt and pants, his hair was a light brown color that matched his sea foam green eyes. And there Louisa could clearly see there was a friendly smile on the man's face.
Before long, the man stopped right beside Mr. George and also in front of Louisa. The stranger never stopped putting a smile on his face, at least he probably did that to seem friendly for the first time. Louisa thought like that. “Well, Louisa… let me introduce you, this is Henry Stiles. He will be your bodyguard now and in the future. I hope Henry can help you in many ways and also take care of you, like his duty as a bodyguard should be," said Mr. George explained, and just as Louisa was about to interrupt, Mr. George immediately raised his hand. “Don't argue with me, Louisa. Agree or not, Henry will still be your bodyguard, and will live in this house too with you."
Of course, it was a very unanimous decision. And yes, Louisa wouldn't be able to argue in the slightest after this. Louisa was just silent and subconsciously still watching Henry who nodded his head with a faint movement in front of her at this time.
