Chapter 1732
Chapter 1732
The stars were blinking in the sky, while the night deepened.
It was quiet or even dreary in the corridor. Whenever a nurse passed by with a medicine trolley, the clear sound of wheels could be heard clearly.
There was a row of chairs near the wall, and Lilith was sitting on one of them. Not long ago, she had her dinner alone inside the car.
Dylan took a look at his watch and said, "Mom, you have stayed here all night. I think you'd better go back home and have a rest. Come back here tomorrow!"
Lilith caressed her forehead and nodded. "Okay!"
It was indeed more than she could bear. After all, she was no longer a young woman, and her physical strength wasn't good enough now. Moreover, Tina was still here. Lilith disliked Tina, but she could only endure it. It was really uncomfortable for her to keep on staying here.
Lilith was helped away by the servants of the Koo family.
After that, Dylan walked towards Tina, who was leaning against the glass wall of the ICU room. He sighed and said, "Tina, I don't know when Dad will wake up. I'll drive you home, okay?"
Tina pursed her lips, and looked at Aspry, who was still lying there.
She shook her head. "I'd better stay!"
Aspry had always been kind to her.
If Aspry hadn't taken Tina to the Koo family after her mother's death, she would probably have become an orphan.
Although Lilith had once hurt her, Tina still had received much warmth from the Koo family. She was very grateful to her adoptive father, Aspry.
When Aspry woke up temporarily from his coma, he mentioned that he wanted to see Tina. Tina was deeply touched by Aspry's wish. She really wanted to let him see her when he woke up again. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Dylan understood what Tina was thinking about. He said, "I have just asked the nurse and she told me that there was an empty ward nearby. Tina, you can sleep over there tonight. I'll call you as soon as Dad wakes up!"
Tina pondered for a moment.
She didn't want to refuse Dylan's kindness. She nodded. "Okay!"
Tina didn't rest well last night. Yesterday, she told Wilson that she didn't want to be his secret mistress anymore. Although she had already made up her mind and was firm and adamant while talking to Wilson, she still had gone through drastic emotional shock. After going back home, she almost stayed up all night.
If she continued to wait for Aspry to wake up outside of the ICU room, she might become utterly exhausted.
It was very late at night, Tina and the nurse went to the empty ward to have a rest.
The bed was by no means soft and comfortable. Due to her lack of sleep last night, Tina fell asleep immediately after lying down.
She had a great many dreams all night long.
The dreams were indeed fragmentary. She dreamed of Aspry, who was at that time still young and energetic. He personally drove the car and took Tina to the school. The person who appeared most
frequently in her dreams was none other than Wilson.
As there was no curtain in the ward, and the morning sunlight came in through the window.
Tina was still sleeping soundly when someone pushed her and woke her up.
A tall and straight figure was bending over near the bed. He was gently pushing her shoulder. Tina was covered by this man's shadow.
She slowly opened her eyes.
She was still not sober-minded enough, and was a little confused. She mistook the man near the bed for Wilson.
Tina thought that as usual, she was woken up by Wilson, who had enjoyed sleeping with her for a very long time last night. She unconsciously grabbed his big hand.
Dylan's movements became stiffened.
When he realized it and wanted to grasp her hand tighter, Tina had already pulled her hand back.
She sat up directly and explained awkwardly, "I'm sorry. I was still in a daze!"
Dylan said, "Tina, Daddy has woken up!"
Tina put on her shoes immediately and followed Dylan out.
Aspry had gone through the dangerous period, and the doctor ordered him to be transferred out from the ICU room.
Tina walked over to the hospital bed and said, "Uncle!"
Wearing a hospital gown, Aspry was sitting on the bed. After two nights of coma and medical treatment, he looked very haggard. A few strands of white hair rested on his temples, and his lips were chapped.
"Tina, you're here!" Aspry smiled in a feeble manner.
Tina nodded. "Yes, I've been waiting here for you to wake up!"
"Good girl!" Aspry's eyes were full of regrets. He said emotionally, "I already learned that Lilith had done something so terrible to you five years ago. It was painful for me to learn the truth. I'm most apologetic to your mother! Before she died, she solemnly entrusted me to take care of you, but I failed to live up to her trust!
"I didn't take good care of you. It was my mistake that cause you to suffer so much, and I even blamed you because I didn't know the truth. I thought you had become a bad girl due to the influence of some bad friends..."
Aspry felt extremely apologetic towards Tina.
He originally thought that all the miserable things that had happened to Tina were mainly caused by his dereliction of duty. It was all because he didn't fulfil the responsibility of teaching Tina properly. Now that he knew that it was Lilith, his wife, who was responsible for everything, he only felt more guilty.
Tina said, "Uncle, it's all over!"
Aspry took Tina's hand.
He gripped her hand so tightly that his sense of guilty and apology could be indirectly felt by Tina.
Aspry said, "Tina, it's all my fault! The Koo family owes you a great deal! I want you and Dylan to get married. I want to make up for your loss, and our loss of the past. This time, I promise you that no one will be able to separate you from Dylan again!"
"Get married?" Tina was surprised and didn't understand what happened immediately.
Hearing this, Dylan, who was standing next to Tina, became so excited that his heart almost skipped a beat. His eyes were filled with the hope of being with Tina again.
Aspry nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I wish you to get married! You two are both good kids of mine. You were lovers in the past, and will become husband and wife in the future. It was Lilith's fault. She shouldn't have messed everything up!"
At this, Tina frowned and explained, "Uncle, it was true. Dylan and I broke up because of auntie's interference... But now, Dylan and I are no longer lovers, and I think it's absolutely impossible for me to marry him!"
Aspry patted her hand tenderly and said, "Tina, this time, you don't have to worry about anything. I will take charge of everything for the marriage! I know that you have been taking care of your daughter alone in the past five years. Dylan and I have talked about it before.
He has been missing you all the time. He cancelled his engagement with Selene because of you. He even promised to me that he would treat your daughter as his own daughter!"
Tina only felt headache.
She realized that Aspry might have misunderstood the current situation.
Before Tina could speak again, a sharp voice sounded. "Honey, are you crazy?"
Lilith pushed open the door of the ward and rushed into the ward with a furious expression.
She seemed to have just received a phone call from the hospital. Knowing that Aspry had woken up, she rushed over here at once.
The past two days were indeed very difficult for Lilith. Her long-term personal image of being a good wife and good mother had gradually collapsed in the minds of her husband and son. What's worse, her husband lost his consciousness and was then diagnosed with a serious disease. All these things, putting together, made her feel anxious.
Now, she heard that her husband wanted Tina and
Dylan to get married.
For Lilith, it was just like a bolt from the clear sky.
She went up quickly and said, "Aspry, why did you suddenly make such a decision? You have just woken up, so you don't know what's going on. I won't agree with it! I don't want them to get married!"
"Shut up! I'm trying to make atonement on your crimes by their marriage!" Aspry scolded his wife.
He was very angry. "I don't want to investigate what exactly had happened five years ago. It doesn't make any sense now! I just want to make up for all the crimes you committed as much as possible so that Dylan and Tina won't miss each other again. If it weren't for you, they should have already registered as husband and wife at the Civil Affairs Bureau five years ago!"
