Henry couldn't sleep well this morning at all. He spent all of his time pensively staring straight at the bedroom ceiling. Henry grew silent and tightened his embrace on Louisa who was sleeping soundly. Since an hour ago after telling all of that story on her past life to Henry. And she also asked Henry to sleep in her room forever from right now on. She really didn't want to feel alone anymore right now. She really wanted to always feel strong in her life. And yes, Henry of course agreed to that.
Henry couldn't even think once more. He never knew that Louisa's past story would be so painful like that. Even if he had known, Henry would never have wanted to be able to imagine about it, not even for a moment. Henry's left palm gently rubbed the shoulder of Louisa who was in his arms right now. Slowly, but harboring a sympathetic feeling. Henry couldn't control his feelings right now. He wanted to cry too since Louisa told him all that, but Henry didn't even know how to deal with the situation.
Louisa moved for a moment in her sleep, to find another position that could make her feel more comfortable. Henry turned his head towards Louisa, and also turned himself towards Louisa. Looking at Louisa's sleeping face. Henry rubbed Louisa's face slowly. 'I promise, Louisa, I won't let a single person hurt you again right now. I am right here. And I promise to you that I will never leave you alone." Henry muttered.
Henry turned to gently stroke Louisa's hair, and gave small massages on Louisa's head. 'I love you so much, Louisa. No matter what your past is… I will try to replace it with a beautiful present and future." Henry smiled a little. He brought his face closer to Louisa's, and gave Louisa a kiss on the forehead.
Not long after, Henry was surprised by Louisa who suddenly moved restlessly in her sleep. Henry immediately got up and sat there, with a worried face. His hands tried to wake Louisa up. But Louisa didn't come to her senses immediately. Louisa is now starting to look more and more restless. Both of her palms began to clench, several times hitting the empty air there. Louisa's eyelids were getting tighter and tighter.
'No… no… no…" Louisa kept muttering the word 'no' there.
'Louisa... Babe, wake up! Louisa, please wake up…" Henry kept trying to wake Louisa up. Shaking and patting Louisa's arm hard enough, hoping that it might help her wake Louisa up from her sleep.
Louisa's body seemed to start sweating profusely. Sweat was even already wet Louisa's forehead. Henry realized that the now restless Louisa had even started to cry.
"Help me! Help me please! Don't! No... no... leave me please!!"
'LOUISA!!" Henry couldn't stop himself from screaming for a moment. And it really managed to wake Louisa out of her sleep, and immediately sat there. Louisa's breath felt very breathless at the moment. She started sobbing and crying. Henry immediately brought Louisa's body, which was shaking from shock and crying, into his tight embrace.
'Please calm down, Louisa… I'm here… I'm here. I will accompany you. Remember that I will always be with you, no matter what, whenever, and no matter the situation.... I promise, I will always be by your side, Louisa... Because I really love you, Louisa..."
Henry kept muttering the words he hoped would help calm Louisa down. Henry tightened his hug even more, and gently rubbed Louisa's head several times. Louisa, who was in Henry's arms, tightened the hug between the two of them. Louisa felt that she really needed it. This has never happened in the last few years. She never again dreamed of the day of his first destruction. It never crossed Louisa's mind to be able to recall that day. But now, suddenly she was back dreaming of her darkest day. And that was when Henry was by her side right now. Louisa felt very embarrassed and felt very inappropriate. She was now at the lowest point in her heart for once again.
I'm starting to feel that I don't deserve the slightest bit to get and be with you, Henry... Louisa's mind was talking with feelings of sadness and sadness filling every part of her right now and then.

'Henry, there is a package for Miss Louisa. Can you give this to her?" Leo asked when he saw Henry who had just come out of the house at noon. By carrying a green rectangular box there. With Louisa's name written on the cover of the package box.
Henry accepted the package and looked at it. Then turned to look at Leo who was in front of him. 'Sure, I will give this package to her. But who is this package from? Who's send it??" Henry asked.
Leo shrugged his shoulders quickly. "I do not know. On it was written only Miss Louisa's name. Me and the guards didn't even see anyone who came and delivered the package. I thought the package must have arrived in the early hours of the morning. We haven't checked the CCTV cameras because there is damage to the CCTV cameras near the fence." Leo explained. Although he couldn't stop himself too from being curious about the contents in the package.
Henry grew silent. So wondering about the contents in the package in his palms at this time. 'Um… well, then. If we can call a technician immediately, to be able to fix the CCTV camera, who knows we might find a clue as to who sent this package to home for Miss Lousia." Henry asked.
Leo immediately nodded his head. 'Ah yes… I almost forgot to tell you about something." Leo gasped for a moment. Remembering something right then and there. This made Henry look at Leo curiously. 'I remember that in the last few days there was a black car that passed by several times. Looks like they's keeping an eye on this house. It's just that I'm still not too sure myself. I've said this to all the guards present, and we will make sure to tighten the guard even more." Leo explained.
Henry widened his eyes for a moment. "Okay thanks for telling me about that. I'll give this package to Louisa right away, and tell her about everything that happen. Get back to work now then."
After saying all these things, Henry started to turn around and walked into the house. While Leo, he returned to continue his work which had been delayed for a moment. When he entered the house, Henry found Louisa sitting on the sofa eating Henry's favorite mint choco chip ice cream voraciously. Louisa, who saw Henry's arrival, suddenly had a silly smile on her face.
'Sorry, Babe… I'm really curious about your favorite mint choco chip ice cream flavor. And it turned out to be really good. I'm not lying about the taste, of course. Can we go out to the supermarket for ice cream and some other snacks???" Louisa asked expectantly there.
Henry heard this and immediately chuckled and shook his head slowly. Full of amused and funny feelings for Louisa. "Of course, after this we can go out to the supermarket, okay?" Henry walked over and sat right next to Louisa. Put the package box right on the table and looked at Louisa.
Louisa looked at the package box there, while eating the ice cream, she started to ask. 'What box is that? And from who???"
Henry also turned to stare at the box there, then began to reach out and take the box. 'Leo gave it to me just now. He said this box had probably been in the early morning in front of the fence. And also there is only your name on it, there is absolutely not the slightest identity of the sender of this package. Leo also said that the past few days a black car had repeatedly passed in front of this house. As if he was watching. Try to open the contents of this box first. Maybe after that, we can find out who sent the package…" Henry explained as he handed the package box to Louisa.
Immediately, Louisa put the ice cream box in her hand right on the table. And switch to receive the package box there, then put it on the lap of his two thighs. Louisa looked curiously at the box and Henry in turn. "I'll open it then..." Louisa muttered.
Slowly, Louisa opened the lid of the box. Henry who was waiting was also starting to feel very tense. They were both curious about what was in the box for Louisa. And when the lid of the box opened, Louisa immediately frowned quite deeply. Inside the box was only a gray envelope. 'There's only an envelope inside on it…" Louisa mumbled.
"Take it and open the envelope..." Henry ordered her with a mumble.
Louisa nodded her head with a faint motion. Then immediately took the envelope and put the box on the table. Louisa didn't know how to explain how curious she was and also a little disturbed. Considering this is the second time the package without the sender's name has come to his house. Louisa began to open the envelope and took the thing in it. A letter. Louisa hastily opened the letter and read it slowly.
I thought I'd say it one more time, LoLo... that my presence wouldn't interfere with your life. But there's something else I want you to know and you have to awarn about that, Louisa. Look for clues in the past to deliberate wrong doing, for the sake of a dark obsessions. Inside the smoldering fire there is invisible evidence that no one has ever found. When you try to find it, he will come with his manipulation for once again. And make sure that you are not affected in the slightest. This is one way to your victory. Someone who deserves to be punished will be punished. And you will be happy forever in life that you already deserve about. Regards, J.C.
Louisa was silent for a moment. "This is a letter from Julian." She muttered, having finished reading the letter. Henry who heard this immediately took the letter and read it.
Louisa grew silent. She seemed to be thinking about everything Julian had said in the letter. Henry, who finished reading, immediately looked at Louisa. 'Babe… what does this letter mean?" Henry asked because he was the one who wasn't sure at all.
"I also do not know. But somehow I felt that Julian was trying to give me a clue to something in the past. But I don't know what it is…"
