Harry Part 7
"Rest assured, we can solve this problem, Sean," said Leo, who immediately made me realize this from my long reverie.
"Honestly, I'm tired of feeling frustrated all the time like this because Leslie is in such danger from the ghosts. I asked her to stop involving herself with ghosts, but she scolded me instead." I tried to tell Leo about the little fight between me and Leslie just before Leslie had that horrible incident.
"Loving someone is not only you like the advantages, but you also have to like the shortcomings. The bottom line is you have to love it for what it is. Leslie is stubborn. I think that's one of her weaknesses. I can tell you this because I feel the same way you do. Not much different from Leslie, Angie was just as stubborn as her. In addition, she also likes to involve herself with ghosts, just like Leslie. Do you think I'm not tired like you, Sean? Do you think I'm not as frustrated as you are whenever I see Angie in danger? The answer is, of course, I feel the same way as you. But..." Leo hanging on his words made me curious half to death, wanting to hear the rest.
"But what? Can you talk about it without half measures?" I said flatly.
"The difference is that you are impatient while I am the patient type, hahaha."
"Haah… what's that got to do with it? Huuh..." Leo was still chuckling beside me while his gaze was focused ahead since he was now driving.
"But when I decided to marry Angie, I accepted everything about her. To always support all the things she loves. To help her solve any problem. I decided to accept her as she is, including accepting her who is always interested in involving herself with ghosts. Hmm, but our women are weird, aren't they? While other people fear ghosts, they enjoy getting involved with them." Leo chuckled again beside me while I responded in silence.
"The point I want to tell you is, if you love Leslie and want to make her your partner, you have to accept her as she is. Before deciding to marry her you should prepare yourself to be frustrated whenever she gets involved with ghosts. If you're not ready for that and can't accept it, you better step down from now on. But the question is, can you lose her forever? The last time I saw you break up with her, you looked like a mess, Sean."
"Shut up. I'm not that messed up," I replied with a slight smile. I realized what he said was true.
"So what's your decision?"
"None of your business," I replied with a chuckle.
"Huuh, I already advised you at length, and is that how you thank me?"
"I never asked you to advise me. I just wanted to have a little chat with a fellow man. We haven't talked in a long time anyway." Leo smiled and drove fast until we arrived at the doctor's address.
Leo knocked on the door of a relatively large two-story house. A young woman opened the door for us. She looked surprised to see us, whom she just met today. We asked about Harry's doctor, which made the confused look on her face turn to surprise. But the woman's answer made me and Leo flinch.
According to the story of the woman who turned out to be Dr. Harry's sister. The man had disappeared and never returned to this house since one month ago. Yes, I had the same answer as the nurse I asked at the hospital. Leo and I certainly felt very disappointed, especially when the woman said she did not know about her brother's whereabouts.
"Isn't there somewhere he frequents? Maybe he was there without your knowledge," she asked. The woman was stunned. She seemed to be thinking.
"He often visits our family's Villa. He also often stays there. But he can't be there, because we've been looking for him there and we can't find him there," answered the woman who at first seemed hesitant to tell us.
"Can we have the address of the Villa, please?"
"Eh? What for?" The woman seemed to be starting to suspect us. Yes, if you look at the expression on her face when answering Leo's question just now.
"This is very important and urgent. It concerns someone's life and death. That's why we ask for your help," I said, trying to help Leo convince the woman.
"What's the problem between you and my brother?" I was pissed off at that woman who was so uncooperative. Leo, who realized my annoyance, tried to calm me down and persuaded the woman again.
"I'm sorry if I say this, but it looks like Dr. Harry is dead. We have to make sure."
"W-what? It is impossible." The woman covered her mouth with her hand, and her eyes lit up with tears ready to slide.
"This is not certain. Therefore, we have to confirm it. Please trust us. We are not criminals. If you don't trust us that much, you can come with us to the Villa or report this to the police. That's fine for us." I was surprised to hear Leo's words. He was brave enough to say all that. Even though it is not sure that Harry is a ghost who has kidnapped Leslie's soul. The woman was stunned, and it was clear she still had doubts about us. But I felt immense relief when she finally gave us the address of the Villa.
"I'll try to believe you, it seems you are not bad people. But I want to come with you to the Villa." Leo and I nodded at the same time.
I am still determining what we will find at the Villa later, but I always hope we can find clues to solve this complicated problem.
