It took all Dulcina Calvo’s strength to help Esteban Zaragosa onto the sofa.
Mother Dulcina couldn’t bear to look at her daughter’s humble appearance, and coldly said: “Take him to your room”.
Dulcina Calvo, with tears streaming down her eyelashes, looked at Mother Dulcina blankly.
Mother Dulcina frowned, “What are you waiting for, are you staying in the living room to get in the way of your father and me?”
“Oh, oh.”
Dulcina Calvo didn’t have time to think about what Mother Dulcina meant, and did her best to help Esteban Zaragosa enter unsteadily.
Dulcina Calvo cast a grateful glance at her mother.
Mother Dulcina immediately said sternly, “Don’t think I’m going to approve of you two being together! It’s not that simple! Does this boy think he can kidnap you with a beating from your father? No way!”
As Mother Dulcina and Dulcina Calvo helped Esteban Zaragosa onto the bed, Mother Dulcina roughly threw Esteban Zaragosa straight onto the bed.
Dulcina Calvo, fearful of falling on Esteban Zaragosa, could not help but warn, “Mom, be careful, he’s hurt!”.
“Girl, you’re not even married yet and you’re already sticking your elbows out!”
Mother Dulcina twists Dulcina Calvo’s ear.
Dulcina Calvo, her eyes reddened, kept silent and did not speak again.
Mother Dulcina was too far away to bother with them, and Dulcina Calvo closed the door to her room behind her and rummaged in her closet for the medicine cabinet.
Being a doctor by profession, he kept a medicine cabinet in his room with many common ointments.
Dulcina Calvo found the first aid kit, took out the ointment for the wound and peeled the white shirt with blood on it off Esteban Zaragosa’s body.
She was a doctor and had seen many horrible wounds, but when she saw Esteban Zaragosa’s bloody back, she couldn’t help but feel a stabbing pain in her heart, and she couldn’t help the tears that fell from her eyes.
Dulcina Calvo first disinfected her hands and wounds, but when she did, the alcohol seemed to sting the wounds and Esteban Zaragosa woke up in pain.
The man’s forehead was covered with sweat, and he even looked a bit faded at the moment, but that did not detract from his attractiveness and elegance at all.
Dulcina Calvo sniffled, knelt down next to the bed and said, “Be patient, it may hurt a little.”
He tried to be as kind as possible to Esteban Zaragosa, but the man frowned slightly at the pain.
Esteban Zaragosa, who is not afraid of pain, frowned, indicating that he was already in pain, wasn’t he?
Dulcina Calvo bit her lip and said, “I’m sorry.”
Esteban Zaragosa looked at her, smiled faintly, and asked in a muffled voice, “Why are you telling me you’re sorry?”
“If it wasn’t for me, my father wouldn’t have hit you so hard.”
“I don’t like it when you tell me you’re sorry. More than words I am sorry, you could ease the pain of my wounds if you would tell me now that you love me.”
Dulcina Calvo’s eyes, literally unable to hold back tears, clicked in the back of her throat, “Why are you still joking at this late date?”
“Why don’t you ask me why?” Esteban Zaragosa raised his hand and helped the girl wipe away her tears.
Dulcina Calvo snorted and asked, “Why?”
The smile on the man’s face became even warmer and more affectionate: “Because the heart is sweet, it doesn’t hurt.”
Dulcina Calvo, unable to stop crying, covered her mouth with her small hands and hurriedly turned around, sitting against the edge of the bed with her back to Esteban Zaragosa.
“Dulcina, turn around.”
Dulcina Calvo shook her head violently, “No, I don’t want you to see me cry.”
She must have looked ugly when she cried. When she was a student, she had seen girls in school who were lovely even when they cried and were especially beautiful when they cried, and in those days, she practiced how to cry beautifully in the mirror for a long time, but the result was predictable, she could not control her facial expressions at all when she cried.
She cried for a few minutes, mustering her emotions with all her might, then turned away with reddened eyes and continued to administer Esteban Zaragosa’s medicine with a show of composure.
Esteban Zaragosa took her little hand, looked at her with burning eyes and said, “Dulcina, if this beating is worth it in exchange for the trust your parents have in me, I think it’s worth it.”
“What if they still have that attitude toward you?”
Esteban Zaragosa looked at her sobbing little face and deliberately teased her by joking, “Another beating?”.
Dulcina Calvo burst into tears and laughter, but still said earnestly, “If my parents give me a stick again, you can pull out a gun and threaten them.”
Esteban Zaragosa: “… Are you sure you want me to do that to the in-laws?”
This would be a very effective solution to the current problem.
Dulcina Calvo continued to apply the medicine, saying with a bitter face: “It’s a joke”.
If that were the case, mom and dad would have called the police to denounce Esteban Zaragosa!
…
In the next room.
Pueblo Dulcina smokes a cigarette, frowning in concentration.
Mother Dulcina’s head was spinning with worry, “Mr. Matthew, what on earth do you think we should do?”
Pueblo Dulcina took a puff on her cigarette and said, “Seeing that it is now impossible to keep them apart, unless you get Dulcina to abort the baby she is carrying in her womb.”
Mother Dulcina glared at him: “What are you talking about? What’s the point of aborting a child? Besides, if Dulcina aborts the baby, the world will be full of people and sooner or later the town will know and who will want Dulcina?”.
Pueblo Dulcina sighed, “We feed her and don’t take a bite out of anyone else, whoever dares to say so should say so.”
Mother Dulcina is also a little out of ideas, “Should we leave her with this Esteban Zaragosa? We don’t know anything about this man and he doesn’t seem to be up to our standards. I am very afraid that Dulcina will not be able to handle him in the future and will suffer herself. …”
As she spoke, Mother Dulcina also began to cry with difficulty.
Dulcina Village patted her partner on the shoulder and said, “Since he is Dulcina’s choice and Dulcina is pregnant, he is a man we can only try to accept, and if he really dares to fail Dulcina in the future, we, as parents, will do Dulcina justice. ”
“That’s easy for you to say, if Esteban Zaragosa is really no good and has really hurt our Dulcina, what’s the point of us seeking justice with him.”
“Don’t think so pessimistic either, you see I just hit Dulcina with a stick, that man’s first reaction was to protect Dulcina, I think this kind of subconscious action can’t be false, I’m a man too, I can feel the look in his eyes when he looked at Dulcina, it was very serious, not like playing games. Dulcina is our daughter, what kind of girl is Dulcina, others don’t know, don’t you and I know?”
Mother Dulcina wiped away her tears and said, “It’s just that I know her and I didn’t think she would do something like this, single and pregnant, why do you think she’s suddenly so confused?”
Pueblo Dulcina was silent for a small moment and smiled faintly, “Perhaps it is this man who really deserves Dulcina’s lifelong commitment.”
