Virginity in second marriages

Chapter 59: Self-Deception

"Do you have the sense of responsibility as her husband? Shouldn't you worry about your pregnant

wife?" A series of questions made Cristian's face horrified. His hands tensed silently until his joints

were waxy white.

Luke obviously felt that an improper look was present, so he hurried to speak before Cristian became

enraged, "We apologize doctor. The gentleman's legs are not very comfortable and we didn't notice it

before. We brought her right away now. How is she?"

When he had finished saying his words, the doctor felt better, but his gaze on Cristian was still with

disgust, "She is fine now, but she has to stay in the hospital for two more days."

"So you mean...the baby is still healthy?" asked Luca cautiously.

"What question are you asking?" The doctor almost burst out after listening to this question. "Don't you

want to have that baby?"

"No, no, no, I meant, thank goodness the baby is fine." Luca quickly apologized; he really didn't know

the proper way to converse with others.

The doctor nodded and left, but Luca spoke depressedly, "Sir, if the baby had died, you wouldn't need

to worry about doing it yourself."

Hearing this, Cristian frowned and the aura in his body suddenly became fierce.

"Say it one more time!"

Luca was surprised and did not dare to say another word.

He was totally astonished. It had been Cristian who had called Serena's baby a bastard, and it had

been he himself who had wanted Serena to have an abortion, but today...

Okay, anyway, Cristian became different from before after Serena married him, and he might be even

stranger in the future. He had to adapt to it.

Thinking about this, Luca felt relieved.

There was only the smell of disinfectant in the quiet room, and Serena had been dressed in a clean

gown. She lay quietly on the hospital bed. Her face was weak and pale, as if she had been seriously ill.

Cristian's wheelchair was beside the bed, and the coldness in the man's eyes had diminished as he

observed the motionless woman.

"When will she wake up?" Cristian suddenly asked.

"I asked the doctor, probably in the evening."

Cristian looked away. "Let's go home."

Hearing this, Luca was a little surprised, "Aren't we staying here to accompany her?"

"Maya is coming."

Luca understood and nodded. "Then I'll ask Maya to prepare the food and bring it, so she can eat right

away when she wakes up."

The hospital at night was quiet. Patients had fallen asleep and even the accompanying family members

were silent. Serena woke up slowly, seeing everything white as she opened her eyes and a kind-faced

woman was sitting by her side.

"Ms. Aurora, you are awake."

Hearing the name, Serena's brain was off for a moment and then she realized that she should be a

maid of the Ferrari family. She wiggled her fingers and wanted to sit up, but she found that the pain inNôvelDrama.Org owns this.

her belly prevented her from moving fully and she had to lie down again.

Maya quickly stood up, "Ms. Aurora, don't get up now. You're still weak. Stay lying down. Are you

thirsty? Shall I get you a glass of water?"

Without waiting for Serena's response, Maya turned intimately and poured a glass of lukewarm water

for Serena, who smiled slightly and embarrassedly.

Maya put down the glass of water gently and helped Serena sit up, placing a pillow on her back.

"How are you feeling?"

Serena took half a glass of water as Maya cautiously asked, "Ms. Aurora are you feeling okay? Do you

need me to call a doctor?"

Serena shook her head and replied in a low voice, "Thank you, no need to call a doctor. I'm fine."

She only had a little pain in her belly, and she covered it by gently massaging it.

"Ms. Aurora, I prepared dinner for you, but considering your health reasons, everything I cooked is

relatively light. Ma'am try it."

Maya opened the thermos and took out all the food inside.

Serena certainly was very hungry. Because of her stomach ache, she did not eat much during the day.

Until this hour, she felt very hungry when she saw the food.

"Ms. Aurora." Maya placed a soup in front of her very intimately. Serena took it and was moved with

thanks, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, ma'am. Take it while it's hot."

At that moment, outside the room, Luca appeared at the window pushing Cristian, who saw that since

Serena had woken up and was chatting with Maya. He asked Luca to stop. Luca did not understand,

"Sir?"

"Let's go home." Cristian tightened his lips and said coldly.

Hearing this, Luca felt even more puzzled. "We're going back? But we just got here and...we haven't

even gone inside. I heard she woke up. We can go inside to see how she is."

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Cristian scowled, suppressing his anger.

"Huh? But signor! Didn't we come especially to see her?" Luca was speechless. They had just arrived

at the door of the room, and Serena had awakened appropriately as well, so why did they have to

come home now?

Luca did not quite understand what Cristian was thinking, but after he had finished saying what he was

thinking, Cristian suddenly became very furious. He realized that something was wrong, so he had to

keep quiet, "Okay."

Then he pushed Cristian to leave, but just then the door to the room opened. Maya came out and saw

them, "Mr. Cristian, you are here."

Her voice was not loud, but loud enough to reach Serena's ears clearly.

Hearing Cristian's arrival, Serena suddenly became very nervous, almost forgetting that he was

supposed to be the one to take her to the hospital, right?

"Mr. Cristian, Ms. Aurora is awake. Would you like to come in?"

Serena held the soup and was still motionless. Cristian didn't come in because he didn't want to see

her? Serena's eating movement slowed a bit as she looked out the door without realizing it.

At that moment, she heard Cristian's cold voice.

"No."

Serena lowered her eyelashes.

"Let's go!"

Luca obeyed Cristian's orders and pushed him away, leaving Maya with a puzzled face. She did not

understand. It would have been logical for Cristian to come to the hospital to see the lady, but why did

he not go inside? The lady could hear the gentleman coming, but if he had gone straight like this....

Could it be that...they had a fight? Maya thought in her mind and returned to the room after getting

water.

"Ms. Aurora, you and Mr. Cristian..."

"Has he left?" Serena interrupted her and asked in a low voice.

For some reason, Maya felt distressed when she saw Serena with lowered eyelashes. She changed

the words she was about to say, "Mr. Cristian might have something to do, so he left suddenly, but he

should be very worried about you."

Hearing this, Serena smiled bitterly. Was he worried about her? This was just self-deception.
