Albina didn’t feel like eating. Since she was pregnant, she had a bad appetite. Besides, she was worried about Umberto. But thinking about her babies, she had to have half a bowl of porridge.
Mrs. Santangel was relieved to see that she had eaten a little.
After packing, she helped Albina to Umberto’s room.
Albina was very nervous all the time. She was afraid to see the scene she didn’t want to see, and her legs were shaking.
Umberto’s room was very striking. Albina recognized it without Madame Santangel mentioning it to her.
Ruben and many bodyguards in black suits were waiting outside the room.
Umberto’s presence was so striking that many patients had gathered to find out what happened.
When Albina came, Ruben found her as soon as possible and let the people lead the way quickly.
-Lady, Miss, are you here already?
Ruben looked at Albina with much enthusiasm. Umberto still wouldn’t wake up, but since he loved Albina so much, he would definitely wake up if Albina came to his side.
At least the probability would be much higher!
Albina was surprised to be called “miss”, and was stunned for a moment, then she asked:
-How is Umberto?
Ruben shook his head.
-There’s nothing wrong with the wound, but he hasn’t woken up yet.
No one knew what was going on. According to what the doctor said, it could be a self-protection mechanism that put him in a coma. As long as he could wake up, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
Albina was very nervous and walked to the room in a hurry. When she opened the door, she saw Umberto’s grandfather and father sitting by the hospital bed, looking at the man lying on the bed.
The two men were looking worriedly at Umberto, frowning.
There were many machines at the bedside to monitor Umberto’s physical condition. He was wearing an oxygen mask, and his handsome face was pale. With his eyes closed, this man looked very weak, as if he had never been arrogant.
Albina’s heart seemed to be choking, and her eyes were sore.
She suppressed her tears and did not let them fall.
Hearing the sound of Albina’s footsteps, Sergio looked up and saw that Albina and Mr. a Santangel had entered. He calmed down a lot and said:
-Albina, you are awake now, how are you now, are you feeling better?
Her whole family had kept a lot of things from grandfather. He never found out about the relationship between Michael and Albina, and thought she had always stayed with Umberto.
He didn’t get the news until the ambulance took them both to the hospital.
But it was useless to say anything. There was nothing she could do but pray that they would all be all right.
Albina looked at Sergio and saw his ears, which made his old face look more tired.
Umberto’s father too.
The two of them must have stayed with Umberto all night without even resting.
Albina’s heart ached, so she whispered to Sergio:
-Grandfather, I am recovering well. I ate a lot in the morning without any discomfort.
Mr. a Santangel looked at her when she heard his words. She had a hard time taking half a bowl of porridge. Obviously, she told Sergio that so he wouldn’t worry.
Hearing this, Sergio smiled.
-Very good. You have to take good care of yourself. Tell the doctor when you feel sick.
And then he said to Mrs. Santangel.
-Are you all ready?
She knew what Sergio was asking.
-Yes. They are all the most professional dieticians and obstetricians.
When Umberto’s grandmother was pregnant, Sergio accompanied her to the end. Grandma was weak and reacted a lot when she was pregnant. She often could not eat. Others were much fatter when they were pregnant, but she was thinner.
Because Grandma was weak, she suffered from malnutrition. In addition, the medical conditions at that time were not so developed, so the childbirth damaged her health and caused her to die early.
Since then, when Mrs. Santangel was pregnant, the family hired many dieticians and professional doctors so that no problem would occur when she gave birth.
So when he learned that Albina was pregnant, Sergio directly asked Mrs. Santangel to form a professional team.
When Albina entered the room, she had been watching Umberto. When she was talking to Sergio, she looked at him rubbing her tired eyes.
-Grandfather, go get some rest. I slept all night and now I’m in a good state. I’ll take care of Umberto.
-No, you just woke up. You’re weak, we…
As soon as Umberto’s father was about to refuse, Sergio grabbed him by the wrist and gestured him not to speak. Then he looked at Albina with a smile.
-It’s all right. I didn’t sleep all night and now I feel very tired.
That’s true. Sergio used to rest very early, but this time he didn’t sleep at night, so he was very sleepy.
He was old. If he kept this up, he would fall out of love before Umberto woke up.
Then Sergio got up with Umberto’s parents, left the living room and closed the bedroom door.
As soon as he came out, Umberto’s father said anxiously:
-Daddy, Albina just woke up. We can’t leave her alone. I’m not sleepy…
-Shut up! -Sergio said, “Don’t you know Albina wants to stay by Umberto’s side?
Daniel went blank.
Sergio shook his head and looked at the bedroom door, hoping that Albina could wake Umberto up.
Umberto wanted her very much, so Albina could get him.
The soundproofing effect of the room was so good that the outside noise was totally isolated.
Albina could only hear the sound of the machine next to the hospital bed.
She sat next to the hospital bed, stretching out her pale, slender fingers to gently hold Umberto’s hand.
Her hands were usually warm and dry, but they were a little cold at that moment.
No one was there but the two of them. Albina pinched her fingers, and looking at Umberto’s beautiful face, she couldn’t stop tears from flowing.
After being kidnapped by Miguel, Albina always felt uncomfortable.
She patiently tried to persuade Miguel to surrender. During that period, she was nervous and could not fully relax.
Later, when Miguel promised to let her go, Albina was very happy. She was anxious to see Umberto, wanting to get back into his arms so he could touch her hair like before.
But Alex’s appearance broke everything.
He was very cruel and cunning. Albina pretended to escape, but she didn’t expect Alex to go berserk.
At the crucial moment, it was Umberto who appeared to block the knife, becoming the victim of Alex’s ferocity.
Mrs. Santangel told him that the knife was less than two centimeters from the heart.
It was very shocking. Alex almost took Umberto’s life.
But Albina still remembered clearly what she said when she was injured.
-Fortunately, I got there in time.
Albina ducked her head, and her shoulders were shaking slightly.
-Umberto, you’re a fool! Why are you so stupid? -she said with a slight sob.
Her hot tears dripped onto the back of Umberto’s hand. Albina held his fingers and cried uncontrollably in a hoarse voice.
-Wake up, please! I’m so afraid. I want to talk to you.
-I’m pregnant. You’re going to be a father.
-You said you were going to marry me. -Do you want your child to grow up without a father?
-Hey, if you don’t wake up, I’ll go with Miguel. -Hey, if you don’t wake up, I’ll go with Miguel. He’s very nice to me and loves me very much. If you don’t wake up, I will marry him and you won’t see your son.
-Miguel said he didn’t care if I had a son, he even said he would treat him like his own son. When I marry Miguel, I will let your son call him “daddy”!
When he stopped speaking, Albina felt Umberto’s big hand tremble.
Umberto’s voice was hoarse, weak, but fierce.
-Impossible! I will never allow you to marry Michael. You can only be mine, and the child is mine too!
