Heart of a Handsome Doctor
Chapters 71. Heavy Stroke

Roy, Mike and Ben arrive at Mike's house when it gets dark. They got out of the car and looked around.

"What's Belinda doing, why haven't you turned on the lights?" mumbled Mike.

Roy who will approach Mike's house immediately prevented by Ben.

"Don't come in, sir! Looks like something happened to the girl" said Ben, who made Roy and Mike look at each other.

"What's up, Ben?" ask Mike.

"Mike, don't you feel like there's something weird here?"

Mike frowned.

"Although the girl is a cloned girl, I'm sure if she knows when it's dark she should turn on the lights. It's not letting it get dark like this." explains Ben.

"What Ben says is true too, Mike." said Roy.

"Master, wait here! Mike and I will check inside. Go, Mike!" take Ben.

Ben and Mike will open the door but it turns out to be locked from the inside.

"Mike, do you have a spare key?" ask Ben.

"Yes, I'll take it." Mike got back in the car and grabbed his little bag.

Mike opened the door and started to enter the house.

"Sheel!" call Mike. He started to turn on the light switch.

Silent. No answer from any direction.

"Shy!!!" Mike shouted when he saw Belinda's body lying on the floor.

Ben immediately ran over to Mike. Roy was also curious about what happened. He came into the house.

Roy and Ben are stunned to see Belinda's stiff body in Mike's arms.

"Belinda! What happened to you?!" Mike looks really shocked.

"Mike, let me check!" said Roy.

"No need, Sir. He's already dead. They killed him." Mike clutched Belinda's body.

"Mike, we need to get the body to the hospital. I'll ask Maliq to get everything ready. I'm gonna do an autopsy on Belinda. We have to find out what really happened to him." said Roy.

Mike nodded. They also took Belinda's body to Avicenna hospital in secret.

Roy contacted Maliq to provide security when he came with Belinda's body.

Arriving at the hospital, Belinda's body was placed in the autopsy room owned by Roy. Roy looked closely at Belinda's stiff body.

"He's a lot like the real Belinda." murmured Roy.

Maliq came and immediately saw what was going on.

"Roy!" call Maliq who makes Roy look.

"What's this?" ask Maliq.

"See this!"

Maliq immediately approached the body that had been stretched stiff.

"He...?"

"He was a cloned human created by Brother Julian. He deliberately made a fake Belinda to trick Mom and Daddy. I'm sure it is!"

Maliq could not believe what Roy was saying. But that body was indeed very similar to Belinda's. Maliq also knew Belinda during his life.

"But why did Julian do this? I don't think this makes sense, Roy."

"Do you think everything that happens makes sense? You know what Julian's like now. He's no longer the Julian brother I know. He even wants to destroy his own family." Roy rubbed his face.

"So .. was this girl killed by Julian?"

"There's a possibility. That's why I'm gonna do an autopsy."

"Roy! It's already night! We'll just do it tomorrow. Besides, this will make people suspicious if you're still in the hospital at this hour."

Roy thought for a moment. "What Maliq said has a point as well. I haven't told Lian about this either. If I hadn't come back, Lian would have been worried." Roy's inner.

While outside the autopsy room, Mike sat down holding his head. He was devastated by Belinda's death.

"Mike!" Ben holds Mike's shoulder.

Mike shakes. "No, Ben. I'm going back to my house."

"Well, if that's what you want. But, you have to be careful."

"They won't come again, Ben. They must have been convinced Belinda was dead. It's all my fault! If only I had told you sooner about him, he might be alive by now. I've taken her like my own daughter. I'm the one at fault, Ben!" Mike rubbed his red face. The sadness was clearly visible on his face.

Roy and Maliq also feel sorry for the loss experienced by Mike. They looked at each other with meaningful gazes as if they were talking.

Arriving at his home, Mike sits at the table in the silence he lived before Belinda came. The girl only lived with Mike for a few days. But his presence can make the loneliness of Mike who has been slowly disappearing for years.

Belinda brings a new color to Mike's life. He even talked a lot about the past to Belinda.

"Look, don't call me Mr. Michael. That's very strange. Miss Belinda used to call me 'Uncle Mike'. So, you call her like her."

"No, Mr. Michael. I'm not the real Belinda. I'm just an artificial Belinda."

"So, after you've been through all this, you're willing to stay here? With me?"

"Of course." replied Belinda with a smile.

"My late wife and I wanted a daughter very badly. I don't know, we feel girls are the best." Mike was silent and did not continue his story.

"Then...?" Belinda waited enthusiastically.

"Then .. My wife finally got pregnant. And the doctor said it was a baby girl. I was so happy then. But ... an accident took them both." Mike lowered his head.

"Mr Michael..." Belinda rubbed Mike's back.

"Easy! It's all over. And I don't want to remember it anymore."

"Did you name your daughter? Though not yet born into the world, he deserves a name."

"Yes. My wife and I agreed to give her a name ... Thania."

"Thaniah? What a beautiful name. What if I became Thania? Do you mind?"

Mike looked at Belinda. "No! I don't mind. You have no identity. So, I think you need to get a name. Theodore Thania. You have my last name."

Belinda smiled. "Yes, I want to. I want to be your daughter, Mr. Michael..."

And Mike never thought, if that smile was the last smile Belinda would see.

At the Avicenna family residence, Roy is still struggling with his work in his study. Lian approached Roy intending to ask him to rest.

"Mas, it's night. Better continue your work tomorrow," said Lian by wiping Roy's arm.

"I still don't think that Brother Julian will..."

"Easy! Don't think. He chose his own life. And we will also choose our own way of life."

Roy looked at Lian full of cravings. "You're right. Today was a pretty surprising day for me. Are you .. willing to entertain me?" Kerling Roy gave Lian the code.

"Comforting you?" Lian frowned.

Roy immediately pulls Lian's hand until Lian lands on Roy's lap. Roy hugged Lian's possessive waist. He propped his chin on Lian's shoulder.

"Darling... Isn't it time Boy had a sister?"

"Hmm? Meaning Mas?"

"We gave a little brother to Boy. How's it?"

Lian looked embarrassed. He was very awkward around Roy.

"Because you're silent, I assume you agree! Come on!"

Roy carried Lian ala bridal to their room.
