Deep love: insatiable lover

Finally, Vanessa left the hospital and Orlando was so frustrated that he slammed the door after humiliating Vanessa again.

Vanessa did not return to the Villa Real directly, because she did not want to see Orlando’s disgusting face. So, she went to her parents’ house and told Mercedes that she wanted her mother to look after her.

Seeing her daughter so ill, Mercedes was so distressed that she did not scold her for her rebelliousness, and Vanessa felt very comfortable lying in her room as a child.

In the evening, Philip returned early and when he saw his little girl, he looked at her and said seriously:

-You’ve lost a lot of weight.

-Dad, you’re too exaggerated, how can I lose weight for an overnight stay in hospital?

-Yes, because I said so! Tonight your mother made you chicken soup.

-Well, well, whatever you say.

Vanessa would not refute her father’s words, because she knew that he cared for her very much, and that night she drank a lot of soup under the supervision of her parents, so that she was so full that she could not fall asleep.

-I have to walk around a bit to digest the food faster.

After tossing and turning in bed, Vanessa decided to take a walk in the garden.

As it was already very late, Vanessa crept out and when she passed Philip’s study, which was at the end of the first floor, she saw that the lights were on.

Vanessa frowned, a little confused, because it was already after eleven o’clock at night and she approached unconsciously. Then she discovered that the door of the study was not properly closed, and Philip’s tired voice was heard:

-At the beginning, everything was going well and we will be relieved when this project is finished. But because of the new policy, the project is suspended and our capital chain will be broken. And the bank won’t give us any loan unless someone guarantees it.

“The company has encountered another problem, how unlucky we are”.

Vanessa clenched her fists in worry and stood outside the door listening for a while.

Later, Vanessa was back in her room before Philip realised. She was so worried that she could not fall asleep until dawn and even had several nightmares in a row in her sleep.

-Ah!” Vanessa opened her eyes abruptly and lay back, gasping for breath.

He had just dreamt that the Cazalla Group went bankrupt, then Mercedes’ health deteriorated and Felipe fell into hospital due to fatigue…

It was such a real dream that Vanessa was still scared after waking up.

-Vanessa, what’s wrong? -she pushed open the door and asked Mercedes, worried because she heard her daughter’s screams when she came to wake her up.

-It’s OK, I had a bad dream,” Vanessa replied, trying to smile.

She still remembered her mother’s thin, sad face in her dream, but she would never let that happen.

-Thank goodness, you scared me so much!

-I’m sorry, Mum.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

-Well, get up, I have prepared a delicious breakfast for you.

-What about Papa? -Vanessa asked lightly, hiding her worries.

-He went to the company very early and in a hurry. He looks very serious, I don’t know if something has happened to him.

-No way, Mom, you’re thinking too much,” Vanessa rushed to comfort her mother, fearing that she might have a fit.

-Well, wash your face and go downstairs to eat.

-Yes.

Breakfast was very delicious, but Vanessa was distracted.

Mercedes thought her daughter didn’t have much of an appetite, because she was recovering. And when she heard that Vanessa was going to work, she persuaded her daughter:

-If you haven’t recovered yet, you don’t need to go to the company.

-Mum, I feel great, look, your daughter is healthy and strong! -Vanessa made the gesture of a bodybuilder and Mercedes laughed out loud.

-How naughty you are, if you are already married!

-¿Y? If I’m still your little baby.

-What a child! -Mercedes purposely looked at Vanessa with a serious face, but she wasn’t afraid of her at all.

Taking advantage of the fact that Mercedes was in a good mood, Vanessa again said she was going to the company and this time, Mercedes didn’t stop her any longer, but told her not to work so hard.

When she arrived at the Cazalla Group, Vanessa went straight to the president’s office to find her father.

-Why are you coming to work? Don’t you rest at home for a few days? -asked Felipe, unhappy to see Vanessa’s presence.

-Dad, it’s okay. I’ve fully recovered,” Vanessa came over and led Philip to the sofa so he could sit down.

When the two sat face to face, Vanessa said to him with a very serious expression:

-Dad, I want to help you and the company. You don’t need to hide the company from me, I’m an adult. And if the company needs a guarantor, I’ll look for Orlando.

This was the solution Vanessa had come up with last night after some hard thinking. In reality, she could ask someone else for help, but to avoid the suspicion of her parents and not to sadden them after learning the truth, she decided to turn to Orlando, who was her legitimate husband.

-How do you know the company needs a loan?

-I’m sorry, Dad. I overheard your conversation last night,” Vanessa said in a firm tone. I want to help you, because the Cazalla Group is your life’s hard work and I don’t want it to be ruined.

Philip sighed and lightly patted his daughter’s arm:

-Do you know why I don’t want you to get involved?

Vanessa bit her lip and raised a happy smile, of course, she knew.

-I know, Dad. It’s because you don’t want my marriage to be affected by the interests of the company and you want to avoid being scorned by asking the Moya family for help. I understand all that, but Dad, when you worry about me and I worry about you, I worry about you.

“Besides, my relationship with Orlando can’t get any worse and I’m sure Orlando will help me, even if he hates me”.

-I’m sorry, my child.

-Dad, what are you saying? I’m your daughter and we’re from the same family, you don’t have to apologise for anything.

-Yes, I beg your pardon because daddy, I am wrong. Thank you, my child.

Philip looked at his daughter with relief, for he knew that she was very strong and could live well without them.

Although Vanessa had told Philip that she was going to ask Orlando for help, she didn’t know how to start.
