Chapter 191: Too little success, too much failure
When the patient has recovered for some time, grafts will be considered for follow-up. But as your daughter’s face is really too…, I’m afraid it will be difficult to restore the initial appearance later on. No, to be precise, I am afraid that even the normal five senses will be affected. You have to … be mentally prepared.
At that moment, Director Lacasa fainted completely.
Although the doctor spoke in euphemisms, his meaning was clear to all present.
In other words, Felicia’s face was ruined. Not just ruined, but so completely ruined that even with further follow-up treatment and perfection, her features would still be flawed and she would be an abnormal human being as ever.
Felicia, already proud and arrogant, would have gone mad if she had woken up knowing that she had not only been disfigured, but could have been turned into a monster.
Although Orlando detested Felicia, he was saddened by the outcome.
Of course, what should concern him more now was the issue of the new energy project.
Director Lacasa had agreed to help, but before he could do anything else, there was a big change of heart. Director Lacasa now had no regard for Grupo Moya and Orlando was understandably upset that his opportunity had just been lost.
He was in no mood to stay in the hospital any longer, and when director Lacasa woke up, he made an excuse and left.
Director Lacasa was now too busy with her child to be bothered by Orlando’s attitude.
Leaving the hospital, Orlando sat in his car with a sadness hanging over his face.
He took out his mobile phone and called Juan.
-What is the current situation? Has Mr Gerardo realised that we are on to something? Did the line we connected through Felicia the other day work well?
Orlando asked several questions in a row, and after hearing a positive response from Juan, his mood finally relaxed a little.
At least what I had to do was going well, and that was enough.
Who would have thought that Mr. Gerardo’s call would come when Orlando would be relieved.
-Son of a bitch, get back here right now!
As soon as the call was answered, Gerardo’s angry rebuke was heard, and the call was hung up after the irresistible order, without giving Orlando the slightest opportunity to speak.
That kind of attitude, as if Orlando was just a tool.
Orlando gripped the steering wheel tightly for a long moment before suppressing the anger in his heart and starting the car to drive away.
Halfway through, Orlando’s phone rang and he didn’t even think about it, he just picked it up.
-What?
The car, which was travelling at high speed, braked abruptly and stopped unexpectedly in the middle of the road. Fortunately, it was late at that time and there were not many cars on the road, otherwise it would have caused a traffic accident.
-Repeat, what happened to Melina?
The person on the other end of the line flinched at Orlando’s sombre tone and responded warily.
-We don’t know when Miss Melina disappeared, in the morning she went down for breakfast and then went upstairs. She also said that … also said she wanted to rest and forbade us to disturb. The door was closed when we delivered the food in the evening, but we heard the lady’s voice inside saying that she didn’t eat. At that time we didn’t think much about it, we didn’t care. The second time we knocked on the door we heard the same thing again and felt suspicious, so we opened the door. It turned out that Miss … was not inside.
-Nonsense!
After hearing his men’s report, Orlando smashed his phone.
Felicia had acid thrown at her, the prepared coorperation flew away, now he had a lot of things to do, he was very angry, and he was told that Melina had disappeared!
Heh, a village like that, all guarded by his men, how could a pet he had captured go unnoticed?
Orlando was simply exasperated.
But the next moment his heart stuttered with a bad feeling.
When is the best time for Melina to escape, but today. Could it be that …?
The thought of this possibility sent a shiver down Orlando’s spine and he couldn’t help it.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Maybe that’s why Mr Gerardo was so angry on the phone.
Without daring to think about it, Orlando ordered the men in the villa to find Melina, even if it was just outside, restarted the car and accelerated towards the Moya family.
-Mr. Orlando, you are back at last.
Mr. Gerardo’s face was grim and terrifying; having followed him for decades, Jaime had not seen such a terrible expression on his face in a long time.
He had been waiting in the courtyard because he was worried. When he saw Orlando return, he hurried to tell him.
-Mr. Gerardo is furious, I haven’t seen Mr. Gerardo lose his temper like that in years, Mr. Orlando, you have to be careful, don’t answer back, be polite, Mr. Gerardo will be fine when it’s over, you have to be patient.
-Don’t worry, Jaime.
Orlando thanked Jaime for the reminder and his face lightened a little, although the next moment he was worried again.
It appeared that Felicia’s acid attack was really Melina’s doing.
Damn bitch, to spoil her day at a time like this!
Orlando walked briskly into the living room with the thought that he wanted to choke Melina to death.
-On your knees!
Gerardo sat on the sofa, cane in hand. When he saw Orlando, he ordered in a cold voice.
Orlando did not hesitate and knelt down immediately.
Gerard looked at him coldly and stood up suddenly, walking slowly towards Orlando. Then, suddenly raising the cane in his hand, he brought it down unceremoniously on Orlando’s back.
-Rubbish! A failure to achieve anything! How is it that the Moya family, I got to have a grandson like you.
Gerard cursed angrily as he hit Orlando’s back hard with his cane.
Orlando bit his lip to keep from making the slightest noise. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to defend himself, it wasn’t that he didn’t know it hurt, it was because Orlando knew that if he didn’t get a good beating today, Gerardo would kick him out for good.
He had worked half-heartedly and could not afford to lose it all.
Of course, he would write down this debt and engrave it in his heart for future revenge, on Gerardo and Melina.
He swore to himself that one day, when he got what he wanted, he would absolutely repay the shame he had suffered twice over today.
Whether it is Gerardo, Melina or Dylan, anyone who owes him anything would have to pay him double and triple.
There was a sharp pain in his back, a smell of blood in Orlando’s throat and he opened his mouth and unexpectedly spat out a mouthful of blood.
-Mr. Gerardo, Mr. Orlando is already spitting blood, so stop it now. Otherwise, Mr. Orlando will be killed.
Jaime was left with an anxious look on his face and kept urging Gerardo to hurry up and stop.
-Hmph! I’ve never been in such a sorry state in all my life. It’s not enough to lose your career for love, and you’re still making trouble!
