Deep love: insatiable lover

The rescue took all night.

Vanessa didn’t know how many times she prayed to God not to take her father’s life. He was still young and had a long way to go, how could he… how could he go like this?

While waiting for Felipe to come out of the operating theatre, there was an uproar in the Pacific City over a news bombshell: Felipe, the president of the Cazalla Group, was in a critical condition and had been rescued several times. The Cazalla Group was in a precarious state.

Journalists even took photographs of Felipe as he was being wheeled into the operating theatre by nurses, as well as of Vanessa waiting anxiously in the corridor. With that evidence, everyone assumed that Felipe could not leave the operating theatre.

The sensation of this news had an immeasurable impact on the Cazalla Group.

It is the instinct of human nature to look for profit and avoid disadvantages, not to mention that businessmen care more about interest. Seeing that the president Felipe had fallen ill, the Cazalla Group was no longer in a fit state, many partners proposed to terminate the contract without any mercy.

Even the Group’s internal employees started to look for other work, and a number of people even resigned after the news came out. For them, the Cazalla Group could no longer go on, so they no longer had to waste their energy and time on this company that could collapse at any moment.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Cazalla Group had not fallen for the time being, so they could still find another well-paid job if they left before it was all too late.

Enrique was too busy in the company to deal with contract terminations and employee resignations. There were even shareholders who wanted to withdraw their capital. He was just a secretary, unable to deal with all that, so in the end he had no choice but to contact Vanessa.

-OK,” but his reaction was calm and he didn’t blame anyone.

Henry was even more distressed when he heard it.

-If they want to resign, let them go, and let them pay the fine according to the employment contract they have signed. Whoever wants to leave, let them leave, don’t hold them back. And those who decide to stay at this time are all loyal, reliable and worthy of promotion. Enrique, I’m sorry, I can’t go to the company yet. Please, you will have to take care of the company for me for the time being.

-Don’t worry, I will defend the company,” Enrique replied in a firm voice, he knew the burden she had on his shoulders and was determined not to disappoint Vanessa’s trust in him.

-Thank you.

After hanging up the phone, Vanessa took a deep breath and looked at the red light still on in the operating theatre.

Melina was there and could hear the call clearly.

I didn’t expect Vanessa to be so calm in such a crisis, was she really not worried? No, she didn’t believe it! The news that Felipe was in danger had been exposed to the public, and the companies that had always competed with the Cazalla Group would certainly take advantage of this good opportunity to appropriate the resources of this company in crisis.

Melina was pretty sure that soon Vanessa would not be able to keep that calm and indifferent expression, she would be in panic, desperate and would lose everything she had. From a girl of noble status she would become a total loser, Melina would have her under her feet.

To this end, she had taken these photos in secret and sent them to major newspapers anonymously.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“Vanessa, I’m waiting for the day when you’ll be desperate, and lose the life of luxury.” Melina thought viciously, feeling very exhilarated.

But for her, that was not enough.

“The old man is still in surgery. It’s better that he dies in the operating bed,” thought Melina mischievously.

-Melina.

Just as Melina was imagining Vanessa’s suffering after Philip’s death, she suddenly called Vanessa by name.

-What?

-No matter what your purpose, you will never succeed,” Vanessa looked at her coldly, saying the sentence word for word.

Her piercing eyes made Melina a little nervous, who felt that everything she had done, everything she thought inside, could easily be discovered by Vanessa. Therefore, she couldn’t help but clench her fists to increase her courage.

He calmly said:

-I don’t know what you’re talking about. Vanessa, are you paranoid?

-You know very well what I mean. Melina, if the Cazalla family collapses, you won’t be spared the consequences either. Do you think Orlando is really your support? Bah.

Vanessa ended the conversation with a sneer.

-You’re jealous of me! Vanessa, you’re afraid of losing everything you have, from a woman of noble status to becoming a poor and miserable woman, aren’t you? Heh, heh, what a pity, you will soon lose your life of nobility while I will never reach such a pathetic state. Well you can be jealous of me as you like, I allow you to be jealous.

Melina laughed in triumph, the other girl just pursed her lips mockingly and looked away.

She had nothing to say to such a stupid fool.

Melina gritted her teeth in hatred, for his attitude was as contemptuous as if he had never cared about her presence.

Soon she would become a disconsolate humble woman but she was still proud of herself in front of it.

I wanted to see when Philip really died, who else could be Vanessa’s backup.

The rescue treatment lasted until one o’clock in the afternoon.

Mercedes found out about Felipe’s situation after reading the news. She was about to go immediately to the hospital, but fainted. The maid hurriedly looked for the family doctor to treat her mistress, but by the time she woke up it was almost noon.

When she got better, she asked Limón to take her to the hospital and ordered everyone not to tell Vanessa about her sudden fainting spell.

***

Seeing the exhausted doctor leave, Vanessa quickly helped Mercedes to her feet, looking at him expectantly and anxiously.

-Doctor, how is my father?

-We finally managed to rescue him this time, but his condition has deteriorated very seriously. He was originally already in the advanced stage, and the emotional ups and downs have worsened his condition. In addition to the cancer, he has other problems. All this has caused the patient’s current situation. We cannot guarantee what will happen.

That meant that Philip could fall into a critical condition at any time and need rescue treatment again, and no one could guarantee whether he would be so lucky next time.

They all understood that and also knew that it was only a matter of time before Philip’s final moment arrived.

Such an outcome was burdensome and unacceptable to both mother and daughter.

Vanessa’s face went pale, she suppressed the anger and sadness in her chest, and worriedly took Mercedes’ arm, silently comforting her.

-I understand, thank you very much doctor.

Her mother’s reaction was calmer than the girl had expected. Mercedes did not feel overwhelmed by the shock or faint, which made Vanessa feel a little relieved.

Felipe was then sent back to the intensive care unit.

Vanessa helped Mercedes sit outside; no one knew where Melina had gone, but they didn’t care where she was.

Holding her mother’s hand tightly, Vanessa looked at her with concern and hesitated several times to open her mouth.
