My Sweet Wife

In the hospital room, Larissa peeled a kiwi fruit and handed it to Cleo, the cell phone on her body, at this time incoming calls, she looked at Cleo, “I’ll take a call.”

“Uh-huh.” Cleo took the kiwi and gave her a thank you smile.

Larissa took out her cell phone and glanced at the caller ID, it was an unfamiliar caller, she had wanted to reject the call but the caller ID showed that the number had already dialed five times, after a moment’s hesitation, she picked up the phone and put it to her ear to answer it.

Celena’s anxious voice came from the other end of the line, “Larissa, you finally answered the phone.” After that, Celena on the other end of the phone looked like she was worried that Larissa would hang up the phone, so she said anxiously, “Larissa, don’t hang up the phone first, don’t hang up the phone, I have something to talk to you about.”

Celena’s phone, Larissa had blacked out, and also asked her assistant Phoebe not to answer the phone.

“What is it again?” Larissa spoke in a voice that was cold to the core.

She didn’t think it was anything good, everything Celena had been involved in hadn’t been good for her so far, only things that upset her.

Celena’s voice on the other end of the line seemed cautious, “Larissa, are you still abroad?”

After she asked that and saw that Larissa wasn’t coming back, she added, “Nathanael Lora is getting married, did you know about that?”

“Uh-huh.” Half a dozen times Larissa answered this.

Celena on the other end of the phone heard that Larissa’s response was so light, she was getting more and more anxious, “Larissa, what’s going on with you two, you and Nathanael Lora? He came out of nowhere with a baby and announced that he is about to consummate his marriage, and you didn’t come back to find him to get a statement from them The Lora family.”

“Is this a clear case of bullying you? Is it because you see that The Elbert family has no one to back you up?”

“Or …,” Celena said again as if she thought of something, a little period, “it can’t be that, because Nathanael Lora knows that you still have me as your birth mother, she dislikes you, and doesn’t not want you?”

Larissa wanted to answer her, no, but before she could say anything, she heard Celena on the other end of the line again.

“It’s all my fault for this! It was mom who thought that Nathanael Lora loved you enough to not care about something so small, and since you’ve been together for so many years, I didn’t think that you’d have a falling out and go your separate ways just because of what happened to me.”

“There are even more complicated situations than ours in the mansion, why is he not accepting it at all?”

“Larissa, hurry back. I’m going to The Lora family right now, just to find Nathanael Lora, and I’ll make it clear to them that as long as Nathanael Lora makes up with you, even if it means making mom promise not to see her for the rest of her life.”

Once upon a time, Larissa had only seen Celena’s selfish side, so Larissa didn’t expect her to say something like that.

Larissa’s voice was scarce as she said, “You don’t go to Nathanael Lora, and even more so, you don’t go to The Lora family, it’s not because of you that Nathanael Lora and I are in a relationship.”

“Oh.”

Through the cell phone, Larissa could hear Celena’s breath change like a sigh of relief, and then she heard Celena on the other end of the line say, “Larissa, so what is the problem between you guys because of you? Is there any room for maneuver?”

“No. Don’t you also know that Nathanael Lora has a child about to marry the child’s mother?” Larissa’s voice was light, as if she hadn’t taken it with a grain of salt. Obviously she was not in the mood to talk to Celena on such a topic.

Celena, on the other end of the line, thought for a moment and advised Larissa, “Larissa, are you and Nathanael Lora because of the baby?”

“If it’s because of the child, you could have taken a step back and kept that child with you, and you’d still be a young grandmother in The Lora family …”

Before Celena could finish her sentence, Larissa interrupted her coldly, “And then what? And then create another tragedy like mine? Ruin another child’s life?”

“And then, do you want that child to help his mother steal the family fortune, or do you want me to feel bad in my heart for treating him like my own biological child?”

Celena on the other end of the phone suddenly choked, “Larissa, mom … is just trying to do what’s best for you.”

Being the mother she was, she heard Larissa say this, that a situation like theirs was the end result of what she had just advised her own daughter to do.

Being human had to come with its own boundaries, most importantly a moral one, and Larissa loved Nathanael Lora right down to it.

“No need.” No longer wanting to hear Celena’s voice, Larissa hung up.

Always, Celena did something, something she didn’t like, and would say it was for her own good. The real good for her was to understand her, to know what she wanted, what she didn’t want, and even if she didn’t support her, just stand behind her as a loved one who understood her, and that was enough.

Since she was a child, what Larissa wanted was not much, but no one could give it to her.

Cleo, who was lying on the hospital bed, saw that Larissa’s face did not look too good when she walked in after the phone call, so he inquired with concern, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Larissa replied back.

She didn’t want to talk about it, Cleo naturally knew that, so he didn’t pursue it further. He propped up his body with his hands and tried to sit up, “I want to go outside to get some sunshine, today’s weather is very nice, I’m lying in bed and it’s a bit stuffy.”

“I’ll take you to the sun.” Larissa pushed over the wheelchair and helped Cleo into it.

Cleo was in a cast on his right leg, the surgery he had undergone hadn’t been removed yet, and the doctor said that in two more days, he was going to check on Cleo’s recovery from the surgery. With one leg in a cast, he is able to walk with the other leg standing and with crutches. But usually Cleo doesn’t touch the crutches when Larissa is taking care of him.

The weather was nice, the sun was warm and made you want to sleep, Larissa sat beside Cleo and sunbathed with him.

As he basked in the sun, Cleo looked over at Larissa with a bit of a sheepish look on his face, “Let’s, go back.”

“What’s wrong? Didn’t you want to sunbathe? It’s only just come out.” Larissa gave him a strange look.

Cleo avoided her gaze, “I wanted to use the restroom and didn’t take my crutches out, so I have to go back to the ward.”

“There’s a toilet a dozen meters ahead, I’ll help you over and you go there.”

A dozen meters this close, to go back to the ward would be a bit of a sacrifice, but Cleo was a bit put out, to have a woman, and one he liked, hold him up, and send him into the men’s room. He couldn’t let go. Not to mention the fact that he didn’t know if there were any other men in the men’s room.

As if guessing Cleo’s concern, Larissa pushed Cleo to the bathroom door, and then said, “Inside are all single small restrooms, all with doors, out of the way.”

Into the men’s bathroom, Larissa did not have anything to feel put off, mainly she had acted before, also acted in the past men’s bathroom, and also acted in the countryside of the era of the scene, experienced the countryside people open-air public restroom, at any time to bump into people, so this kind of single has a door, is completely not at all in the way.

“Get up.”

Before Cleo could hesitate, Larissa had pushed him into the men’s restroom, finding one that no one had opened, and she reached out to help him.

Cleo held the door with one hand and said in a rush, “That’ll do, just get out.”

With that, he closed the door behind him.

Larissa this is also the first time to see Cleo shy, said Cleo is a doctor, even if it is to look at the body’s organs should feel normal is, did not expect her 2 just help him into a bathroom, he is shy like this.

“Then when you’re ready in a bit, give me a shout, I’ll wait outside the door.” Larissa finished her sentence and turned around and walked out of the bathroom.

Standing in front of the bathroom door, just as she was waiting for Cleo, Larissa was then suddenly yanked by a force before she saw a tall figure in front of her, and by the time she got a good look at the person who was yanking her, it was Nathanael Lora, and she had already been yanked several meters off her feet.

“Nathanael Lora?!” Larissa looked at him with some surprise before shaking off his hand, “What are you doing? Let go!”

How could she not be surprised to see Nathanael Lora here, at this time of day, but more than that, she was puzzled.

“Follow me!” Nathanael Lora regained her hand, this time with a tighter grip and a faster stride.

It was like he was in a hurry to take her somewhere, and he kept a cold face and didn’t say much, just kept pulling her along.

Larissa couldn’t even muster the strength to resist when he was pulling her and walking so fast. Thinking of Cleo in the bathroom, she frowned worriedly and asked Nathanael Lora unpleasantly, “What the hell do you want? Just let go of me for a second, and if you have anything to say, say it here, I’m not going anywhere. Do you hear me?”

“Let go of me? I told you to let go of me!”

Cleo in the bathroom, heard the sound outside was Larissa’s shout, he wanted to go out quickly to see, what is the situation, just his feet are not convenient, and in a hurry to come out, is directly fell on the ground, his mouth also did not forget to shout, “Larissa, Larissa… …”

Nathanael Lora picked Larissa up in a cross body, “You come with me first, I’ll talk to you later.”

“I’m not going! You let go of me!” Larissa thought that there was no one to take care of Cleo for a while, and she didn’t know what the hell Nathanael Lora was going to do, she pounded Nathanael Lora with her hands as hard as she could, seeing that he wouldn’t let go of her, she just had to go up to her mouth to bite his shoulder, but she still didn’t see him letting go of her.

Nathanael Lora didn’t have a trace of anger, instead he spoke, “Bite gently, I won’t be able to hold you steady in a while, don’t drop you.”

“Nathanael Lora! what the hell are you doing? Where are you taking me?”

She asked and he didn’t say anything, resisted and couldn’t resist, Larissa saved her strength and quietly let him hold her.

Nathanael Lora placed Larissa in the car and helped her put on her seatbelt.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Nathanael Lora, where the hell are you taking me?” Larissa’s eyes stared at him, her voice cold without a trace of warmth.

“I’ll explain it to you when we get there. There’s no time for that now, and it should be too late later.” Nathanael Lora scrambled to pull on his own seatbelt, started the engine, and drove off.

It wasn’t that there wasn’t time to explain, there was so much to say in a car, sitting in a car, what couldn’t be explained?

It was just that Nathanael Lora wanted to get Larissa to that place and talk about it again.
