Dulcina Calvo fought back the tears in her eyes and approached Esteban Zaragosa’s bedside, “The doctor said you had a stomach hemorrhage, but this morning you suddenly fainted and I thought…. Esteban Zaragosa you gave me quite a scare…”
Esteban Zaragosa pursed his pale, bloodless lips and laughed lightly, “You’re a doctor, you’ve seen a lot of this, why are you shocked?”.
Dulcina Calvo, as a physician, had seen many patients in shock, but the one who had fainted was none other than Esteban Zaragosa, and how could she not be worried, sitting outside the resuscitation room a moment ago, almost tingling and with her hands shaking uncontrollably.
“How is that same, you’re the one who fainted, of course I’m worried…”
Esteban Zaragosa raised his hand to wipe away the girl’s tears and said reassuringly, “Don’t cry, I’m all right now, aren’t I?”.
Dulcina Calvo, still not letting her guard down because Esteban Zaragosa had looked much worse than the average stomach hemorrhage patient when he passed out in the morning, said nervously, “Where else are you now? If there’s anything uncomfortable, be sure to tell me.”
“Good.”
Adán Rouco interrupted them with a soft cough.
It was then that Esteban Zaragosa saw Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal: “What brings you here?”.
Dulcina Calvo replied, “I was the one who called Estrella because you were in the ER before and you needed a signature from the family or something, but … but I didn’t know your family, so I wanted Estrella to ask President Rouco if he knew.”
Adán Rouco took the floor: “Since you are well, Estrella and I are going to leave now, there is a patient with a bleeding stomach waiting to be attended”.
Dulcina Calvo frowned slightly, “What’s been going on for two days now, why is there a backlog of patients with stomach bleeding?”
Estrella Berrocal also sighed and said, “Nowadays people eat irregularly, they usually eat take-out and hot pots, and they are more drinkers, so there are especially many people with intestinal problems, Dulcina, take good care of doctor Esteban, Adam and I will leave first, remember to contact us at any time if anything happens. ”
Dulcina Calvo nodded, “Okay, be careful on the road.”
When Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal had left the room, Dulcina Calvo unconsciously asked, “You haven’t eaten much since last night, are you hungry?”
“Hmm.”
“Oh, the doctor won’t let me eat now, so I’ll ask him later when I can have a liquid meal.”
“Good.”
When Dulcina Calvo finished speaking, she noticed Esteban Zaragosa’s eyes, which had focused on her face, and unconsciously touched her face, “Why do you keep looking at me?”
“I was wondering when our names might appear on a ledger.”
“…”
Dulcina Calvo blushed a little and lowered her eyes a little embarrassed, holding back a smile from her lips as she stammered, “That … my parents don’t agree with us being together yet, but … when you’re well enough to be discharged from the hospital, we’ll discuss this matter.”
The first thing you need to do is get a diamond ring and southern flowers, so it’s not too late to say yes.
Esteban Zaragosa looked down at his dejected little head and a darkness shone in his eyes.
He really wanted to stay with his girl for the rest of his life if he had the chance, but if he didn’t have that life, shouldn’t he have let her go sooner?
“Dulcina”.
“Hmm?”
As soon as Dulcina Calvo looked up, her chin was cupped by a man’s cold fingertips and the handsome face before her suddenly enlarged, four lips pressed together….
The kiss, very sudden, abrupt Dulcina Calvo was speechless.
…
When Esteban Zaragosa finished hanging up the fluids and went to sleep, Dulcina Calvo left the room with her cell phone in her hand and could not resist sending a message to Estrella Berrocal.
“A moment ago, Esteban Zaragosa seems to have proposed to me.”
Estrella Berrocal, who received this WhatsApp message, froze and then smiled back, “What do you mean, as if? And was there a proposal or not?”.
Dulcina Calvo, clutching her phone, answered sweetly: “I think that … counts as begging, doesn’t it? He has suddenly asked me when we can get his name and mine in the same account book. It’s not an explicit proposal, but I guess he’s waiting for my answer.”
“It looks like the bridal bouquet was not received in vain, and it looks like the next person to get married will probably be you.”
The corner of Dulcina Calvo’s lips couldn’t help but lift as she looked down at her phone.
It must be a blessing to be married to such a wonderful man as Esteban Zaragosa.
…
Estrella Berrocal, sitting in the passenger seat, said to Adán Rouco, who was driving, “Looks like we’re going to have a wedding voucher for Dr. Esteban and Dulcina. ”
Adán Rouco raised an eyebrow, not very surprised, and merely asked, “Is the wedding date confirmed?”
“That’s not true, but it looks like Dr. Esteban is going to propose to Dulcina. But to be honest, Dr. Esteban, being a top doctor, should be very careful about his diet in general, how can he continue to have such severe stomach bleeding?”
“Doctors heal to save others and are often self-conscious about themselves.”
Estrella Berrocal nodded, “True, but lately two friends of mine have been in the hospital with stomach hemorrhages at the same time, Adán Rouco, you should drink less when you go out partying, you have a bad stomach too, I won’t take care of you if you dare develop a stomach hemorrhage and go to the hospital.”
At her fierce tone, Adán Rouco gave her a slight smile: “Are you really not going to take care of me if I go to the hospital with a real stomach hemorrhage?
“Of course I’m not going, you’re a death wish, just to teach you a lesson.”
Adán Rouco scoffed: “Mrs. Estrella is becoming a real housewife”.
Estrella Berrocal smiled, but said earnestly, “Mr. Adam, let me accompany you to your gastroscopy someday.”
Adán Rouco: “…”
…
At the hospital, in the ward, Dulcina Calvo stayed with Esteban Zaragosa, and at night, lying next to Esteban Zaragosa’s bed, she fell asleep without realizing it.
Esteban Zaragosa’s cell phone rang and the caller ID read Tom Paul.
Esteban Zaragosa, fearful of waking Dulcina Calvo, got out of his hospital bed and took his cell phone out of the room before picking up the phone.
As soon as the phone was answered, a broken voice was heard on the other end.
“Esteban Zaragosa, do you want to die or not! Claudio and I have agreed that if you don’t return to Italy, Claudio and I will simply take a helicopter and kidnap you back!”
Esteban Zaragosa stood at the end of the hallway, staring out the window into the darkness of the night, his eyes cold and lonely as he said, “I’ll be back as soon as I can.”
“What are you doing back here, bringing your little girlfriend from Dulcina Bay with you? Does she know what’s going on with your body right now?”
Here, Esteban Zaragosa kept a long silence before speaking slowly: “I will end this relationship as soon as possible”.
“Esteban, I hope this time you will do what you say, you are in a dangerous position and it is not a good home for Dulcina Calvo, not to say that your life is in danger at any moment. Sometimes I really don’t understand you, if you hadn’t fallen in love with this girl, your illness might not have returned, I’ve been telling you for a long time that your diet and mood must be properly taken care of, but as soon as you meet this whatever Dulcina Calvo is, you even dare to drink when you’re in a bad mood, is love more important than life?”
“Don’t call me again if there’s nothing else.”
Beep beep beep beep … There was a busy tone on the phone.
“Hey …! Go back to Italy quick… Shit! Hang me!”
