Tough Wife For Vegetative Man
Chapter 33 - Take action

Axelo's hand rubbed his wife's head. The regret came to the recesses of Axelo's heart. Sorry for letting Russell go that far.

"I'm sorry." She said, "I am so guilty of you. Somehow I have to make it up to you."

Axelo still rubbed Lily's head, the hand then moved to touch his wife's arm. "I want this to end quickly."

Axelo's sentence hangs, long in silence, the man drowning in his martyrdom the silence of the night at his wife's side.

"Lily, my life is like walking on a roller coaster, every day there is only tension and danger. I don't want to put you there. But, as long as you are by my side, you will continue to be involved. Ii'm sorry. I'm sorry for making you have been having a hard time all this time."

Axelo chuckled, "you know, this is probably the longest sentence I've ever said to you. You usually talk the most. I miss those days Lily. But, every time I come back, you're already asleep. I wanted to go home early, but my work piled up. I have a lot to fix. Everything's been fucked up as long as I left."

Axelo's expression just flowed. Tells him everything he does at the office, as well as about the plan to imprison Camelia. The thing Lily used to do, now she's the one doing it.

"I have to take back what is rightfully mine. I'm right, right?" The last sentence slid off Axelo's lips, before he got up and entered the bathroom.

Without Axelo noticing, the woman who was now lying down was still not asleep. He just closed his eyes and listened to every sentence Axelo said.

###

In the office, Axelo was busy with files that were so chaotic during the leadership of Elvan and Camelia. Axelo needs to rearrange all the work to make it and Raize busy until home late at night every day.

“What the fuck? What are they doing to this company?” Axelo looked emotional as he read one report that his personal assistant had proffered.

“Tu-lord, these are all reports that Mr. Elvan should have checked. But, before I finish explaining, Mr. Elvan says that there is no mistake.”

Brak!

Axelo was struck with emotion, all the reports on the table none of which could make him stop working. All needed special attention and Axelo also had to set everything up from scratch. Unable to bear with all the reports, Axelo threw the file and had everyone work well for today.

“Tell them! No one can go home before the report is done well! I'm here until today's report is complete!”

“Ba-good, Mr.”

Raize stood beside Axelo by staring at everyone who came out and entered with a tense and scared face.

“Master, remember your health. There are still many things that need your attention.” Raize tries to calm Axelo down.

"Don't mention health to me, Raize. I know a lot more about what I do. We have to finish this fast." Firmly Axelo, "how is the development of his investigation?"

Raize handed me a map along with some sealed pockets."Here's some evidence we've collected."

"Do you think this is enough?" Axelo asked as he checked.

"Enough sir, the rest is in the barn."

"All right, let's get this over with." Axelo moved from his seat. Bring the evidence and leave it to Mr. Douglas.

Like today, the shadow about that night kept making Lily feel dirty. A aura of sadness emanated from his father's face. Even though he had tried to get rid of it and did not think about the events of that night. Still, Lily can't. Even to meet Axelo, he felt he had no face.

Every morning, when Axelo wakes up, he will pretend he has not woken up. And when Axelo gets home, Lily always pretends to be asleep.

Lily let out a heavy sigh, rising from sitting in front of the balcony door. Then move to sit in front of the dresser. Looking at her reflection, Lily's eyes were fixed on some marks that were still visible around her upper chest and neck. It made Lily more insecure and more dirty. Lily took out a hand towel, then rubbed on the red mark. The sign is getting reddened along with rubbing a rough hand towel on his skin.

Feel not to lose the sign and it is getting clear red and wide. Lily throws the rough hand towel at the dresser. Lily's body shook softly, the sound of her crying could be heard.

Until nightfall, Lily got into bed and pretended to sleep even though her eyes were not yet fully sleepy. Before Axelo gets home, he should look asleep. Lily felt she did not have enough face to meet Axelo in person.

"This day, he's just in the room?"

"Yes, sir."

Axelo, who had just returned to work that night, got a report about what Lily was doing all day. Axelo knew very well, Lily must be bored if only in the room. His wife used to complain about it. Feeling bored from being confined in his residence. Without being able to do anything or travel anywhere. Sometimes, Lily takes a walk around the mansion to drive away her boredom. However, what Lily did these past few days made Axelo worried.

"Mrs will go down for breakfast after all the family members leave. At lunch the lady asked to eat in the room."

"really?"

"And some dinner tonight, Madam missed it."

"Why are you saying something so important now?"

"Sorry, sir."

Axelo rubbed his hair back. Feeling quite uneasy knowing Lily was acting unusually. Moreover, there were many irregularities after that incident and Axelo was aware. Lily, who usually wakes up in the morning, is now even asleep when she wakes up and falls asleep when she comes home. Could it be, Lily was avoiding him? Wh why?

"All right, I'm in. Next time, do not let you escape reporting something as important as this. Whatever he's doing you're gonna have to report it to me in detail."

"Good."

"You can go."

Axelo went into his room. The room looked dimly lit by minimal lighting. Only the sleeping lights next to the bed were lit. Axelo approached to the side of the bed, looking at Lily who was asleep.

"I'm back early, but you're asleep. Maybe I should come back early." Axelo muttered looking at Lily's face. I miss his wife's voice and joy. However, every time she came back, Lily was always asleep.

Axelo smiled wryly, then swung his legs about to go to the bathroom. However, the step was stifled, he turned his head and stared more intently at Lily's face, rather, Lily's slightly moving eyelids.

Axelo smiled slightly. "Is he peeping?"
