Adam Rouco and Estrella Berrocal flew to Imperial at the first opportunity after receiving a call from Paula Rouco’s counselor.
The hospital to which Paula Rouco was transferred turned out to be one of the hospitals owned by Gu.
The doctors operating on Paula Rouco are of the highest quality of top of the line medical equipment.
Adam Rouco and Estrella Berrocal waited outside the operating room, distraught.
The counselor leaned over to Adam Rouco’s partner and apologized, “Mr. Adam, Mrs. Adam, I’m sorry this happened to Paula’s partner, I’m the one who doesn’t usually pay attention to students’ movements.”
Adam Rouco and Estrella Berrocal are not unreasonable people, especially Adam Rouco, who even after everything that has happened retains his sanity.
Paulita’s accident did not have much to do with the counselor, but with them as parents, who were far away and, therefore, did not follow their daughter’s movements in time.
Adam Rouco said kindly in a light voice, “Mr. Li, this matter is not all your responsibility, my daughter’s accident has also caused you certain problems.”
Qinghe Li is a man in his forties, a gentleman, a gentleman and an honest man, who is both the guardian of Paula Rouco and an unforgettable friend of Severo Laris.
Amado Villegas shook his head remorsefully and said, “I was also Severo Laris’ teacher and had some deep friendship with him, and at that time I knew that Paula Rouco’s classmate was dating him and I encouraged her. I’m very sorry, I didn’t expect this to happen.”
Amado Villegas never thought that the calm and restrained Severo Laris would lose control at times.
Adam Rouco’s eyes twitched and his face became sullen, but in the end he said nothing.
Amado Villegas had done nothing wrong, university students fall in love, and university professors have no right to stop them.
Estrella Berrocal’s heart was racing in her throat all the way from La Ciudad Santa.
Her eyes watered as she watched the red light go on in the operating room.
Paulita was raised to be a spoiled child, who rarely bumped into anything, and when she did, she was held by the palm of the family’s hand.
She had never been in an operating room in her entire life, and now she was alone on the operating table, and how much it would hurt when she woke up.
Adam Rouco put his arm around Estrella Berrocal and said in a low, reassuring voice, “Don’t worry, there are the best doctors there, nothing is going to happen to Paulita. ”
…
Severo Laris feels that the whole world has gone black.
Traffic jams on the highway during rush hour after work.
He got off the bus at Jingning Road and ran to Chang’an Road.
His whole body was drenched in sweat, as if it was too late even to breathe.
Running to the hospital, bumping into many people along the way, sweat dripped from the corners of her forehead and down the contours of her angular cheeks as she raced toward the operating room.
Estrella Berrocal had seen a picture of Severo Laris on Paulita’s cell phone, and Severo Laris was so handsome that she recognized him immediately as she ran up to him.
Estrella Berrocal lost her decorum and manners and angrily asked, “What are you doing here, haven’t you hurt Paulita enough? Paulita, whom I can’t stand to hit or scold, is now on the operating table bleeding profusely because of you, do you know how much blood she has lost? She hasn’t bled that much since she was a child! It’s all because of you, it’s all because of you…”
Crying.
She is angry with Severo Laris, distraught over Paulita lying inside her, and blames herself for not knowing.
Estrella Berrocal, her eyes misty with tears, is held by Adam Rouco.
“Estrella, calm down.” Adam Rouco reached out and patted her on the back.
Severo Laris froze, gasping, chest heaving, his gaze dull and rigid looking at the surgical lights on.
The hands hanging down the sides of his pant legs trembled uncontrollably.
She really didn’t know she was pregnant with his child.
If he had known, he would not have let her fall down the stairs, he would not have let her bleed so much, Severo Laris would even have been willing that it was he who was bleeding and who was now lying in the operating room.
Estrella Berrocal, buried in Adam Rouco’s arms and crying, saw Severo Laris standing there without leaving and glared at him and said, word for word: “Please leave and may I never see you again”.
Severo Laris opened his thin lips, his throat felt as if it had a glass stuck in it, and it took a raspy voice to come out, “I’m sorry…. I … didn’t know … …”
Before he could finish his sentence, Adam Rouco walked up to him, grabbed him by the collar and punched him hard in the face.
“You didn’t know, you got Paulita pregnant and you didn’t know? Severo Laris, before, when I asked you to break up with Paulita, I may have had a twinge of guilt in my heart for you and some admiration for your arrogance, but now, that little guilt I had for you has all turned to anger.”
Adam Rouco clenched his fist and hit him again.
Severo Laris did not resist in the least, Adam Rouco’s hand was strong, but the punch in the face, even with the taste of blood in his mouth, did not hurt, he only wished it had been stronger and more cruel.
Adam Rouco ripped open the collar of his shirt and shoved him violently a few steps further: “Get out of my sight and don’t appear in front of Paulita again. If you ever think of Paulita again, I have a million ways to make sure you never come back.”
The lump in Severo Laris’ throat slipped and he didn’t flinch, his gaze straightening as he looked at Severo Laris and pleaded, “I want to wait until I get out of surgery okay, can I?”
Adam Rouco gritted his teeth and said coldly, “You don’t deserve it.”
Severo Laris did not reply that, indeed, he did not deserve it.
“I’m sorry.” He bowed deeply to the Adam Rouco.
Proud as Severo Laris was, he also bowed his head.
Adam Rouco’s face was distant and cold: “We do not accept your apology. Go away.”
Severo Laris looked deep into the tightly closed operating room.
He did not leave, watching the end of the corridor, leaning against the wall, his body slowly slid down and sat on the floor.
The heart cuts like a knife.
Come to think of it, that day when she planted herself at his door first thing in the morning, so humbly taking him by the arm and begging him to reconcile, was that when he already knew she was pregnant?
If he had looked back and hugged her then, would the outcome be different now?
But what an asshole he said then, he said, don’t be so humble, he’s going to look down on her.
How sad she must be, how desperate.
Severo Laris never knew he was as much of a bastard as his father.
Severo Laris buried his wet eyes, deep in his palms.
The palm of his hand, rolling hotly.
Qinghe Li approached him, with a kind look, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, sighing, “Severo, it’s not just your fault.”
Severo Laris, however, said, “I love her and it’s already my original sin.”
…
The operation is over.
The paramedics took Paula Rouco out of the operating room, still unconscious.
Adam Rouco and Estrella Berrocal immediately greeted them.
“Doctor, how is my daughter?”
The doctor knew that the couple were good friends with Mr. Gu and that they were very important, so he did not dare to offend them and told them politely and respectfully, “I’m sorry, Mr. Adam, Mrs. Adam, we did not keep the baby in Miss Rouco’s womb, but the good news is that she is fine and will heal after a period of rest. ”
Estrella Berrocal looked at Paulita, who was pale and emaciated in the hospital bed, covered her mouth and buried herself in Adam Rouco’s arms, screaming.
She was only eighteen years old, why did she have to go through something so sad?
Her Paulita, still a child, how she became pregnant and had an abortion.
Severo Laris, at the end, saw Paula Rouco from a distance, lying on a hospital bed, being wheeled into the room.
Severo Laris sat still for a long time.
He knew he had lost her, completely.
