Deep love: insatiable lover

Vanessa vented her anger, fear and insecurity in tears, then felt more relieved and confident that she could handle any case.

Realising that she was still in Dylan’s arms and had even wet his shirt with tears, Vanessa blushed with embarrassment. Then, she ducked her head without daring to look at him and pushed him away forcefully.

And Vanessa sat on the bench waiting outside the emergency room door, even ignoring Dylan completely.

-My poor little girl,” Dylan said half angrily and sat down next to Vanessa, but Vanessa quickly moved to the other side to keep her distance from him.

-What’s wrong with you? If you were crying in my embrace, now you want to get rid of me?

“Damn, this man has got something wrong with his head. If I’ve only been crying, now he’s saying it like I’ve abandoned him.”

Vanessa cursed him inwardly and continued to wait in silence. And Dylan stopped teasing her and accompanied her to her side. Time passed slowly, but thanks to this man’s company, Vanessa didn’t suffer as much as before.

Finally, the door to the emergency room opened and the doctor came out.

-Doctor, how is my father? -Vanessa stood up abruptly and approached the doctor to ask him about Philip’s condition.

-The patient suffered a spontaneous brain haemorrhage due to an emotional attack, but it will not be a serious problem due to timely treatment. However, he should be prevented from suffering further seizures in the future.

-Why? -Vanessa’s face was pale and she muttered to herself in disbelief.

The doctor was used to these situations and left after having reported everything he should have.

When Vanessa was still stunned, Dylan held her shoulder to comfort her:

-Felipe is fine, don’t be nervous. He should just rest more and not get angry.

-Really? -Vanessa grabbed Dylan’s arm and looked at him as confidently as if he were her lifeline.

-Believe me,” Dylan took her hand and kissed it gently.

Shortly, Felipe came out lying on the bed and Vanessa went straight with the nurse to the ward. While Dylan went to do all of Felipe’s hospitalisation procedures.

Philip’s room was on a higher floor than Mercedes’, a complex, high-class room.

After settling Felipe in, Vanessa went downstairs to look for her mother.

-Vanessa, is your father well?

-Yes,” Vanessa didn’t want Mercedes to suffer again, so she chose to hide the truth.

Seeing his relieved smile, Mercedes felt even more relieved, so much so that she wanted to get out of bed.

-Mum, where are you going?

-To accompany your father,” Mercedes answered without thinking.

They had been getting along very well since they got married and she clearly wanted to be by her husband’s side.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

-Let me hold you.

Upstairs, there was the high-class complex room, which had a room for patients’ relatives, so Mercedes could go to accompany Philip.

When they left the room, they saw Dylan and Mercedes recognised him, even though she had only seen him a few times, and asked in surprise:

-Mr Dylan? Why are you here?

-You don’t have to call me sir, just call me by my name,” said Dylan, smiling.

Meanwhile, Dylan glanced sidelong at Vanessa, who was masking her nervousness and was quite afraid that her mother would discover their relationship.

-I’m feeling a bit unwell and I’ve come for a physical examination, I didn’t expect to meet you here. What’s wrong? Are you all right?

-Nothing, thank you for your concern,” Mercedes said with a polite smile.

As Mercedes was very worried about Felipe and was angry with the Moya family at the time, she didn’t feel like chatting with Dylan.

-I’m sorry, I have to go, I have something pending, excuse me.

-Please, I’m leaving too,” Dylan smiled, because he had noticed Mercedes’ displeasure and left first.

Vanessa felt a little guilty as she watched Dylan’s figure drift away, because he had come to help, but his mother didn’t even call him by name.

-Vanessa? What’s wrong with you? Well, it’s time for you to rest,” Mercedes thought that Vanessa was too tired and was therefore distracted.

-Mum, I’m fine, let’s go upstairs first.

Since it was not known when Philip would wake up, they had to be by his side.

-Vanessa, now that your father is ill, you will have to manage the company’s affairs. I feel I can’t do anything for you, but you can ask your father’s old colleagues for advice. Do what you can, but never force yourself, OK?

-I know, mum,” Vanessa smiled and hugged Mercedes. It’s hard work looking after dad too.

-Nothing, I just want your father to wake up sooner and be healthy in the future because I’m not very healthy and if something happens to your father, you….

-No, don’t think so much, mother,” Vanessa consoled Mercedes, who was on the verge of tears.

Mercedes took a long time to calm down and patted Vanessa’s hand.

-I’m fine, go and rest, you must be tired after all this time.

-It’s not necessary, I’m very strong. Mum, go and rest soon. You need to be well so you have more energy to take care of daddy.

Mercedes did not refuse, she knew Vanessa was right and she had to take care of herself for her family.

Looking at Mercedes’ pale face, Vanessa felt anguished and guilty.

It was already dark and Vanessa was going to buy dinner for her parents, but when she left the room, she saw a nurse approaching.

-You are Miss Vanessa, yes? This is what Mr Dylan asked me to bring you.

The nurse had three thermal lunch boxes in her hand and there were also sticky notes on them, indicating to whom each box was addressed.

It was clear that it was Dylan who had arranged everything.

At that moment, Vanessa didn’t know how to describe what she felt, it seemed like a warm sensation in her heart that gave her a lot of peace and comfort.

-Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience,” Vanessa thanked the nurse and returned to the room with the three thermoses.
