After a long night of work, Estrella Berrocal began to lose control shortly after arriving home, leaning into the arms of Adán Rouco.
But Mrs. Estrella does not forget to ask a certain man, “Adán Rouco, are you a prodigal son?”
Adán Rouco was not impressed: “Mrs. Estrella, are you asking if a man who has really only been in love once is a prodigal son? Don’t you think that’s an excessive question.”
Estrella Berrocal murmured, “Where too much.”
The man lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his voice low, “Mrs. Star, you must think Mr. Adam is an innocent man.”
“…”
Pure love? Pure love … Does pure love have anything to do with Adán Rouco?
Men are clearly erotic!
Estrella Berrocal is so sleepy she can barely keep her eyelids open, while Adán Rouco lifts the sheets and makes movements under them.
Under the sheets, a miserable cry came out: “Adán Rouco …! I don’t want to talk to you about porn”.
But in the end, any further protest was reduced to a whimper.
…
The next morning, Adán Rouco got up comfortable in body and soul, and Estrella Berrocal lay down on the big bed and spent half the day in bed.
Adam Rouco sat on the edge of the bed and patted her back through the blankets, “Today we will go together to see Jonathan Tasis. ”
Estrella Berrocal made a disgusted face: “That Jonathan Tasis is full of shit, I don’t want to go to see him, do you want to go by yourself?
Adán Rouco: “…”
…
At the breakfast table, Estrella Berrocal helped Paulita peel the eggs, passing the whites to Paulita to eat and eating the yolks herself, as usual.
Estrella Berrocal asked Adán Rouco: “Are you really going to see Jonathan Tasis in the hospital later?”
“Hmm.”
“I’m not going oh, I don’t really have a friendship with him anyway.”
Adán Rouco does not pressure her, he is happy that she does not worry about other men, and he certainly agrees with her.
“By the way, have you heard anything from the man you sent to help Jonathan Tasis find Analena Lozada?”
Adán Rouco frowned slightly. “Not yet, but they’ve sent Santino Yepes to Analena Lozada’s old house to find out, so we should have some information.”
Estrella Berrocal wondered, “Didn’t you say that this current Analena Lozada … is actually Analena Lozada’s real sister, Eleanora Lozada? But you and Jonathan Tasis were so close friends with Analena Lozada and she has a real sister identical to her, why didn’t they even mention it to you?”
“This is still under investigation, but she is definitely a real sister, possibly even a twin, otherwise they wouldn’t look so much alike.”
Estrella Berrocal nodded and asked again, “And would Jonathan Tasis come back to haunt you if he knew Analena Lozada was really long dead?”
Adam Rouco’s hand, holding his knife and fork and cutting his sandwich, gave a slight pause, then he raised his eyes and looked at the little woman sitting across from him with a smile on his face. “You have opened my heart, even if Jonathan Tasis comes back to haunt me, I have no weakness in his hands.”
Estrella Berrocal murmured with some bitterness, “True … but it will be Paulita and I who will be unlucky if that second personality of yours is stimulated again. ”
Paulita ate her favorite baked ham as she listened to their conversation and asked curiously, with big ebony eyes, “Estrella, what are the second and third personalities? Does Dad transform?”
Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal stared at each other and then looked at each other with a smile.
Estrella Berrocal said, “Yes, he will transform as Ultraman and then protect me, Paulita and my brother.”
Paulita grabbed the toddler chopsticks and said excitedly, “Daddy, you have to change one so Paulita can see!”.
Adán Rouco stroked Paulita’s little head and told her: “Daddy can only transform when you are in danger, not normally”.
Paulita blinked her big eyes and said with milk, “Even if daddy doesn’t become Ultraman, in Paulita’s heart, daddy is still a giant!”.
Adán Rouco’s heart softens as he looks at his wife and daughter.
…
Just as Adán Rouco was about to leave the house, Estrella Berrocal’s cell phone rang.
The caller ID shows Dulcina Calvo.
Estrella Berrocal thought Dulcina Calvo might be on a transfer or something today and had called her to ask her to accompany her shopping.
“Hello, Dulcina.”
“Estrella … Esteban Zaragosa has been taken to the emergency room and I am worried and distressed, the doctor has told me that I need the family to come but … but I don’t even know that Esteban Zaragosa has a family …”
Estrella Berrocal was stunned, “… what? Dr. Esteban is in the emergency room? What the hell is going on?”
“Esteban Zaragosa suddenly fainted in the morning, I don’t know why, he was almost unconscious when I brought him here.”
“Okay, I’ve got it, WhatsApp me the address of your hospital and I’ll be right with Adam. ”
After hanging up the phone, Adán Rouco wrinkled his nose slightly, “What happened to Esteban Zaragosa?”
“Dr. Esteban suddenly fainted and went into the emergency room this morning, and I don’t know what happened, how he could be so careless being a doctor himself. I will go with you to the hospital. Felipa, keep an eye on Paulita and Esteban for me.”
“Yes, Young Hostess.”
…
Upon arriving at the hospital, Dulcina Calvo is seen sitting on a gallery seat, isolated and helpless, clutching her arms.
As soon as she saw that Estrella Berrocal had arrived, Dulcina Calvo got up and hugged Estrella Berrocal immediately, choking back a sob: “Estrella, what to do, Esteban Zaragosa is in a very bad way, I’m so scared”.
“It’s okay, Esteban Zaragosa himself is a doctor, if something goes really wrong he should take care of it himself, it won’t be that serious, don’t panic yet.”
Tears welled up in Dulcina Calvo’s eyes: “I’ve been with him for so long that I don’t even know if he has a family, what family he has…”
Estrella Berrocal looked at Adán Rouco, who naturally understood what she meant, but … Esteban Zaragosa the guy had no family.
Adán Rouco said, “Dulcina, if you need a family member or something like that to sign, you can sign for him.”
Dulcina Calvo’s lips parted in some disbelief, “Me? But I’m not married to Esteban Zaragosa…”
“Never mind, I’m sure in Esteban Zaragosa’s mind you’ve been his wife for a long time.”
Dulcina Calvo’s mind was so churning and bustling that she had no energy to think about anything other than Esteban Zaragosa getting out of the resuscitation room safe and sound.
How is it possible for a person who was obviously fine yesterday to suddenly faint?
Shortly thereafter, the on-call physician came out of the resuscitation room, removed his mask and approached.
“There is nothing wrong with Dr. Esteban and he has been moved to the general ward.”
Dulcina Calvo was puzzled: “But doctor, why did he suddenly faint? And it looks serious … Is there really nothing wrong with him?”
“The patient had a stomach hemorrhage, so he passed out in temporary shock, but with treatment, it’s not a big deal.”
Dulcina Calvo’s brow furrowed further, “But it looked like she had more than just a stomach hemorrhage…”
“But we’ve done all the tests we needed to do, and the patient only has a small stomach hemorrhage.”
Dulcina Calvo didn’t think much more about it and just nodded, and Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal accompanied Dulcina Calvo to Esteban Zaragosa’s living room.
Esteban Zaragosa had awakened, his thin lips pale and his handsome face haggard in the extreme. He was half leaning on the bed and greeted Dulcina Calvo when he saw her frightened and worried eyes.
“Come here, girl.”
