There are too many people in this place who want my life, even though I know my days are numbered, but I don’t want to suddenly die with the world, I held on and called for help over and over again.
“Anyone? Somebody …”
By the time Leo came in with the doctor and nurse, I was struggling to crawl to the edge of the bed and almost fell out of it.
“What’s going on, I thought I told you not to move, what are you doing!”
Holding back the last ounce of strength, I grabbed Leo’s arm in a death grip and raised my eyes to the IV bottle above my head, “Medicine, someone moved …”
Halfway through the conversation, I collapsed in Leo’s arms and lost consciousness again.
It was three hours after I woke up again, and my body seemed to have regained a lot of strength.
Seeing me awake, Dennis immediately came forward, only a few days, his chin full of green and black scruff, deep bags under the eyes, as if aged ten years.
“Wake up, are you hungry, want to eat?” Dennis’s voice was a little hoarse, perhaps because of hallucinations, I actually heard a crying voice.
“Not hungry.” I opened my mouth and heartily reached out to touch his cheek, “You don’t remember to take care of yourself again.”
Dennis eyes wet, but the corners of his mouth still hanging smile, “I’m fine, you wake up good, do not worry, the whereabouts of the child has been eyebrow, you do not worry, good treatment, listen to Leo’s words, stay here well.”
“I’m better.” Perhaps Dennis is my courage to face everything, I propped up the bed and sat up, leaning on the head of the bed, before those weak and dizzy feeling seems to be reduced by a large part, see things also clear a lot.
“Have you checked who just snuck in to change my medication?” I asked Leo.
“It’s Charlie from the thoracic surgery department. Fortunately, Clara, you were alert and scared people off, so he didn’t get away with it. The rest of the doctors are checking it out. Leo is a bit emotional, it looks like it is going to be a big fight.
I nodded and did not object, I had suffered once during the birth of my child and almost let the other side get away with it today, I must not let this happen a third time.
“Did you just say that there was news on the whereabouts of the baby?” I asked Dennis again.
“Hmm.” Dennis nodded gently, his bony hand cupping my face and arranging my loose, broken hair for me, his voice gentle, as if he was afraid to disturb me, “Soon, when the baby is brought back, you will be well too.”
I knew it wasn’t as simple as he said, and stubbornly pursued the question, “What did Edward offer?”
I’ve gotten myself into this situation and sent it to Dennis on purpose, Edward can’t have nothing to ask for, he’s not the same as he used to be, and opening his mouth will only be a more difficult condition to meet.
Dennis hooked his lips and stroked my cheek to comfort me, “Don’t worry, I can handle it, you just follow Leo back to your country and leave the rest to me.”
“Back home?” I turned my face to Leo and asked him with my eyes for the result.
Leo nodded his head twice heavily, indicating that this was indeed the case, “Country M is always not our territory, in case the other side comes hard, we may not be able to stand up, or go back first is more secure.”
I bowed my head and didn’t answer.
I came for the sake of the children, but back to only myself, can I really leave with peace of mind?
Dennis seemed to see through my mind, his broad palm clasped my head, so that I and he were facing each other on all sides, touching each other’s foreheads together, and he said almost pleadingly. “Trust me, leave it to me, you go back to take care of your daughter first, wait for me for three days, after three days I will go back with you all together with my son.”
“Clara, don’t forget that you’ve only seen your daughter a few times, and she needs her mother too.” Leo helped from the side.
They knew my weaknesses too well, and I had no reason to refuse, so I agreed.
Dennis spent the night in the hospital and left after I fell asleep.
Leo has always done things in a speedy manner, and after breakfast the next day, we set off on our journey back to China. For safety, Leo chartered the entire business class of the flight, and when we arrived at the airport, we were also a huge team, causing quite a commotion.
Half an hour before boarding, Leo took me to rest in the VIP lounge while the bodyguard and accompanying doctor stood guard outside. I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but my spirits were getting better and better and I was able to walk on my own after entering the lounge.
“Hot water, it’s time to take the medicine.” Leo poured me a cup of hot water and handed me the medicine box that had been dispensed long ago.
The water and medicine will receive, open the medicine box to look at, large and small two dozen pills, suddenly deflated.
This of course did not escape Leo’s eyes, he reached out and patted me on the shoulder, pursed his lips at me and smiled, “It will be fine.”
I didn’t have much hope, but I didn’t want to spoil his fun either, so I simply digressed, “Leo, tell me the truth, what exactly does Edward want Dennis to do for him.”
“You do not need to care about this,” Leo snatched the pill box, pour out a few small into my hand, “now the most important thing it is to cure the disease, the other things to our men will be fine, take the medicine.”
It seems that nothing can be asked.
I looked down and frowned first at the thought of the bitter taste of the medicine and froze for two seconds before pinching my nose and eating the medicine.
Just a sip of water, the afterglow glanced at the entrance to the VIP room flashed a familiar figure, and I stretched my neck to cross the screen to see, the entrance is empty.
Stroking my chest, I was a little stunned.
Fortunately, it was only an illusion.
And yes, how could Edward have come here single-handedly.
However, reality slapped me hard.
“Looking for me, Clara,” Edward’s voice sounded like a ghost behind the screen, and the entire atmosphere of the VIP room instantly became eerie.
Leo immediately raised his spirits and patted my hand to calm me down, signaling me to take it easy before winking at the bodyguard next to him.
The bodyguard will understand and immediately withdraw the screen to the side, we then see clearly, Edward is sitting across from us, and indeed, single-handedly.
Leo’s men are very resourceful, one of them quietly left and went out to poke around.
Edward lightly cast a glance in the direction of the departure of his men, coldly grunted, did not say anything, but obviously found.
However, he didn’t dwell on this point, instead he approached in a superior manner, “Clara, we’ve known each other for years, right? How long has it been since we sat down and had a good heart-to-heart talk like this, in this bright, bright environment?”
I was about to speak, but Leo was one step ahead of me, “You know you can’t be seen, don’t come out and disgust people, I’m telling you, I’m not done with you about Clara, I’m not going to do anything for the rest of my life, I’m only going to do one thing, and that is to stare at you until you die!”
“Tsk tsk …” Edward was not affected in the least, raised his index finger and shook it mockingly, “The words are so full, aren’t you afraid you’ll have to kneel down and beg me later?”
“Go back to your stinking gutter and lie down while you can if you want to daydream, and stop being an eyesore here.” Leo’s eyebrows were rounded, on the verge of striking.
“To leave, Clara would have to give the eviction order herself, but I see that for the sake of her two daughters, she must not be able to let me go.”
