When I woke up again, it was already dark.
Alba was at the edge of the bed, and when she saw him slowly open his eyes, she reached out and touched his forehead, her eyes full of concern.
-Ernesto, are you awake and uncomfortable?
Ernesto raised his hand and grabbed Alba’s hand, holding it, his voice low as he explained.
-My father fixed it, not my girlfriend, and they manipulated my drip…..
Alba, who has never been a crier, shed a tear.
-I know, I know, they gave you a sedative….
Those doctors were amazed at Ernesto’s perseverance. A normal person would have lost consciousness within minutes of being sedated, but he pulled out the syringe and chased him to the elevator….
Ernesto let go of her hand and stroked her cheek, wiping away her tears.
-No, you don’t know, I didn’t kiss her, really I didn’t, she didn’t touch me, do you believe me…..
I only kissed you…
Alba’s heart clenched and she shook her head with a firm affirmation.
-I believe, Ernesto, I believe in you….
The first thing she did when she woke up was to explain all that to him, embarrassing her so much that she shouldn’t have run away then, she should have hurried to come.
Ernesto was relieved, at last, to get the little bastard back….
As the effects of the drug wore off, Ernesto gradually regained his strength and reassured her.
-Good girl, don’t cry, it’s okay. I’m very hungry, have you eaten?
Alba wiped her tears, shook her head, picked up her cell phone and spoke.
-I’m going to order a meal here.
When Ernesto tried to sit up, Alba rushed to support him and put a pillow behind him.
Helping him up, Alba thought about ordering something to eat while Ernesto spoke.
-I’ll do it.
Then he picked up his cell phone, called and fluently announced the names of various dishes, and carefully explained which ones should not have cumin in them and which ones should have more chili peppers….
Alba was a bit dumbfounded, was it true that their preferences were so coincidental or had he, in just a few days together, mapped out his preferences?
The delivery lasted half an hour and Ernesto took advantage of that time to tell her that he came from Salamentro and that his father did not welcome him well as a child, even that recently his father had started to try to manipulate his marriage and he did not want to do what he wanted…
Alba listened and asked curiously.
-That woman just now, was she arranged by your father to separate us?
Ernesto frowned and nodded.
He was careful not to let the news leak out because he didn’t want his father to know about the accident, but he still knew.
Miguel had seen Alba, but by then Alba had forgotten herself and didn’t know she’d been in a car accident….
Could they have sent someone to secretly watch her movements…?
Yesterday, Jairo came in person once and was pissed off by Ernesto. This is a deliberate act that will send someone to play, obviously, to get Alba to resign of her own free will.
Ernesto and Alba checked it out and came to the next approach.
The little nurse was allegedly paid by Yadira, the little nurse first added sedatives to the IV, then provoked Alba out, if Alba insisted on entering, Yadira immediately proceeded to the second step, anyway, Ernesto was sedated, let her do whatever she wanted, who would have thought, Ernesto tenacious perseverance, did not lie down, but also sat down and tried to push her away, she She bent her head and tried to kiss him, but he repeatedly moved his head to avoid it …
Jairo is still extraordinarily scrupulous with this old man, he did not love him when he was a child, so naturally he will not listen to him when he grows up, and if the old man says he will break their father-son relationship, then he will really break their father-son relationship.
-Alba, there is a possibility that my father will shoot you on the way?
This was her biggest fear, her father knowing that Alba had forgotten about him and that she had been in a car accident, would absolutely go after Alba….
Alba, however, jumped up, patted Ernesto on the shoulder and said with unmistakable determination.
-Don’t worry Ernesto, I won’t be as useless as your ex-girlfriend, I will defy your father’s pressure and fight tenaciously to the end!
Before Ernesto had time to be moved, Alba’s next words appeared.
-So you are the president of Solnaciente, huh? But yes, without some family money, how can this VIP room be so comfortable?
Ernesto let out a small laugh and reached out to clasp her hand in his arms.
-Did you always think I was a gangster? You’ve been asking all kinds of weird questions these past few days, but you don’t ask me about my background, how big is your heart?
Alba said nonchalantly.
-It’s you I see as a person, not your background! Besides, I have a very good background too! My brother is Gael Mariano! My best friend is the popular model Micaela! I was afraid that if I told you, you would have low self-esteem and wouldn’t dare to be with me.
Alba was so proud of what she had said and was about to continue with her bragging when the delivery man arrived, so Alba had to go open the door and help put the food on the table and the topic was parked for a while.
The back of Ernesto’s hand, which had just suffered a disaster, is now swollen and it is not natural for him to use chopsticks…..
Alba simply feeds him and Ernesto relaxes and enjoys being cared for by his girlfriend….
It was almost ten o’clock, after eating a meal that I didn’t know if it was dinner or a late night snack and sitting on the couch with him for a while.
Alba took her bag and said:
-I’m leaving, get some rest.
Getting up, Ernesto took her hand and looked at her.
-Girlfriend, after the robbery, don’t you want to stay with me?
Knowing Ernesto, it is still too soon to ask Alba to stay the night, but he misses her so much and wants to hug her so much, to do nothing but hug her….
Alba looked at Ernesto and then at the hand he was holding out to her, her heart beat faster, she really didn’t want to leave….
Alba suddenly thought, how lonely must he be?
Every time he approached himself, he was alone in this luxurious room, and today he finally saw someone else, but it was that kind of drama organized by his father, actually or to expel himself?
Ernesto saw her hesitating and said.
-You take the bed, I’ll take the couch.
Alba shakes her head sharply.
-You’re an injured person, how can you sleep on the couch!
Ernesto’s heart skipped a beat and he stood up, his tall body covered the lamp above Alba’s head, casting a shadow over her, his deep eyes watching her.
-Then we’ll sleep together….
