Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

When they arrived at the hospital, Adán Rouco was taken in a wheelchair to the operating room.

The acting physician came out and asked Estrella Berrocal: “Are you the family of Adán Rouco?”

“I’m not…”

“The patient needs to be operated on immediately, so since you are not his family, call and ask his family to come!”

Estrella Berrocal, fearful that Adán Rouco was badly hurt and that doing so would slow him down, again told the doctor, firmly, “I do!”

The doctor frowned, disgruntled, “Are you or aren’t you? You can’t sign in place of a relative if you’re not!”

“I am, he’s my husband, I’m just arguing with him, some bets.”

The more she said, the less strength Estrella Berrocal had to speak.

What a husband, Adán Rouco was not her husband!

After Estrella Berrocal signed the form, the doctor fiercely took it out of her hand, spitting, “What a strange thing for a husband to fight when he’s half dead!”

Estrella Berrocal, told the doctor, bit her lip and sat in a chair outside the operating room.

He was still wearing his pajamas and had not even changed his slippers on his feet.

Who the hell was Adán Rouco that she had to worry more about him than her family!

Estrella Berrocal’s face lowered, chastened by her own lack of cruelty and conflicted by her concern for Adán Rouco in the operating room.

He had been out of the operating room for three hours, almost falling asleep in the cold chair, when the door opened.

The doctor who had operated on Adán Rouco removed his mask and left the operating room.

Estrella Berrocal’s dream faded and she ran to him, urgently asking, “Doctor, how is Adán Rouco? Is he going to be all right?”.

“The brain hemorrhage is not serious, just a slight contusion, the most serious injury is to the right arm, but it is already treated, and as long as he recovers well, he will not have sequelae, the injury will last a hundred days, so he needs to recover.”

Estrella Berrocal was relieved, and the taut cord in her heart suddenly loosened: “Yes, thank you, doctor.

When the doctor left, Estrella Berrocal hugged herself and sneezed.

He had just slept on the walk and seemed to have caught a cold.

Adán Rouco was probably still awake, anyway, and since he was fine, she didn’t want to stay here any longer.

He picked up his cell phone and, after some hesitation, called Olivia Montes.

Olivia Montes, on the other side, seemed to have fallen asleep, her voice a little confused, “Yes?”

“Adán Rouco has broken his arm, he’s in the hospital, they just operated on him, why don’t you come and take care of him?”.

Olivia Montes woke up immediately and raised her voice: “What did you say, that Adam broke his arm?”.

Olivia Montes picked up her cell phone and talked to Estrella Berrocal as she got up and got dressed.

Estrella Berrocal said in a calm voice: “Well, come on, he’s at the People’s Hospital”.

Olivia Montes hung up the phone, put on her clothes, ran down to the courtyard and headed for the hospital, but then thought not.

Adam was hurt, and why would Estrella Berrocal suddenly ask him to go take care of Adam when she wasn’t taking the opportunity to take care of Adam herself and use the opportunity to bond with him?

Wasn’t Estrella Berrocal jealous and envious that she was taking care of Adam?

Strange, very strange.

…

Estrella Berrocal waited for Olivia Montes to arrive at the hospital before leaving.

“Come in, Adán Rouco is in this room.”

Olivia Montes was shocked to the core. “Would you be so kind as to hand Adam over to me?”.

Estrella Berrocal said coldly, “No matter what you think, Adán Rouco and I are no longer going to be a possibility, and since you like him, you can go for it.”

With these words, Estrella Berrocal turned around and left the hospital.

As soon as I left the hospital, the night breeze blew strongly; it was still only early autumn, why did I feel the wind tonight, so biting?

She hugged herself tighter and hailed a cab home.

In the car, she opened the screen of her cell phone and, in the dimness of the vehicle, the light from the phone reflected on her small, forlorn face.

With a crestfallen face, she opened her address book, found Adán Rouco’s number and typed it in, her slender fingers landing on the red delete button.

I did not want to feel the disappointment and despondency I had experienced three years earlier.

His finger lingers over the delete button for more than three seconds before he finally presses it, deletes it and exits the screen.

…

Hospital, VIP room.

After anesthesia, Adán Rouco wakes up in pain.

As soon as he opens his eyes, he unconsciously cries out in a muffled voice: “Star”.

Olivia Montes, who was sitting on the other side of the room, was stunned and ran up to him, saying in a low voice, “Adam, what’s wrong? Are you in pain? Should I call the doctor?”

Adam Rouco opened his dark eyes and they sank slightly as he looked at the woman in front of him.

“Where is Estrella Berrocal?”

“She’s … gone.” Olivia Montes stammered deliberately. “Estrella Berrocal said she was very sleepy and called me to take care of you, she went home before I got to the hospital …”.

Adán Rouco’s gaze was deep and cold.

… clearly, upset.

Olivia Montes poured water as she deliberately said, “Adam, don’t blame me for talking too much, I don’t think Estrella Berrocal has you in her heart at all, you’re hurting like that and she can’t stand a bit of pain, she went home in a hurry to rest, you say she, or Paulita’s own mother, is so heartless to you, and to Paulita in the future …”

Before Olivia Montes could finish her provocative words, the man in the hospital bed turned his face slightly to the side and interrupted in a cold voice, “Have you said enough?”

“Adam, I…”

Olivia Montes, seeing the man’s icy stare, had to shut up and stop talking about it, passing the glass of water to his thin lips. “Take a sip to moisten your throat, look how hoarse it is.”

Adán Rouco looked at the glass with a deep, cold look, with no intention of drinking it, and raised his uninjured left hand, accepting the glass.

Olivia Montes lowered her eyes and said dejectedly, “Adam, do you have to be so insensitive to me?”

“I have already told you that you are my sister-in-law and always will be, and between us there must be no ambiguities.”

Adán Rouco was very direct and did not put any face to Olivia Montes.

Olivia Montes choked up: “Adán, are you into Estrella Berrocal? She doesn’t give a damn about you…”

“Sister-in-law, the matter of who I like is none of your business.”

The man’s distant and indifferent tone blocked all the words Olivia Montes wanted to say, in the back of her throat.

…

The next morning, Santino Yepes arrived early after learning that Adán Rouco had been hospitalized with injuries.

“Chief, are you badly hurt?”.

Adán Rouco ignored him and simply asked: “Where is the telephone I asked you to buy?

“Ah, here, I’ve also returned your replacement phone card, it’s already inserted in the phone.”

Adán Rouco picked up the phone with his left hand and, when he opened it, there were no missed calls other than a few work calls and a help desk call.

The woman, who had never thought to contact him since he had gone home the night before.

Adán Rouco’s face sank in the early hours of the morning.

Santino Yepes looked around the room, saw no one from Estrella Berrocal and asked, “Boss, isn’t Miss Estrella here to attend you?”.

But as soon as he asked the question, Santino Yepes felt a strange and condensed atmosphere …All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
