Chapter 189: Saving a life is like putting out a fire
In the middle of the night, Beatrice followed behind Luca and grumbled, “But you don’t leave me alone even during the night. For everything that happens, you’re looking for me.”
Luca replied with a bitter face “Aunt Beatrice, it is not me who wants to disturb you. I am obliged to do so since I am instructed by Mr. Cristian.”
Aunt cast him a sidelong glance: “What has he gotten himself into this time?”
Luca replied, “Our Mrs. Ferrari was druged. Therefore, we have been looking for you.”
“Druged?” Beatrice stared at him, “What drug exactly? Don’t tell me that’s what I’m thinking!”
Luca answered her with a bitter smile.
Getting the answer, Beatrice raised her tone of voice, “What the hell? Is Christian not capable of taking care of his wife?!”
“Aunt Beatrice, it’s too late now to say all that. Come with me. Saving a person is like putting out a fire. We have to hurry.”
Beatrice, hearing this, could not help but snort, “Where is the need for me to save her? Can’t he save it himself?”
Luca stopped in front of the door to the room. He took out the card to open the door, “Mr. Cristian, Aunt Beatrice is here.”
The two seeing the scene in the room were petrified. There was Serena who was wearing a white shirt, with messy hair, tried to attach herself with her hands and legs to Cristian’s body. While Cristian was all sweaty and tried to avoid her. The scene was not amorous, but ridiculous.
When Cristian noticed them who were standing in front of the door, he became angry and scolded them in a cold voice, “What are you doing? Why don’t you come and help me?”
Hearing his words, the expression on Luca’s face changed and he ran to free his lord from Serena. As Beatrice stood still on the spot and could not stop herself from laughing out loud. In a playful tone she said, “Cristian, I have never seen you so exhausted and overwhelmed. Since when did you have the compassion for womanhood? If this happened in the past, you would never resist.” Beatrice approached him.
Luca, who wanted to help and take Serena away, did not dare touch her. Hurriedly he asked for help from Beatrice who wrapped her hands around her chest and watched the show, “Aunt Beatrice, what can I do? You are a doctor, tell me how should I do it.”
“Auntie.” seeing that Beatrice did not respond to Luca’s request, Cristian had no choice but to call her.
Beatrice’s eyes widened in surprise. Her nephew always had a very aloof nature and had never called her aunt. And now to save that woman, he was pleading? But why? If he wanted to help the woman, he can do it just on his own.
Despite not understanding why her nephew made such a request, she nevertheless quickly pulled out the prepared medicine from her pocket, placed it under Serena’s nose, and helped Cristian hold Serena. After a few moments, Serena calmed down, closed her eyes and fainted.
Cristian reached out to pick her up and wrapped her in his arms. He asked, “Is it OK?”
Beatrice sat on the edge of the bed, “Of course not, put her in a straight position, then go take care of yourself. Leave her to me.”
With Luca’s help, Cristian got back into the wheelchair and left the room. After the two left, Beatrice looked at Serena who was sleeping, shook her head and let out a sigh.
In the other room, Luca put a white shirt on Cristian. Unable to hold back his curiosity, he asked, “Sir, why didn’t you…?” he dare not finish the sentence, fearing that Cristian would kill him. Indeed, after he uttered these words, the atmosphere became colder. And he heard from his lord, “You are talking too much.”
He unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, “I don’t dare. I was just asking if Aunt Beatrice can save her.”
“Shut up and get out” Cristian said impatiently. He still felt the heat burning inside him. His lower part twitched with desire. But Serena was his wife, and he had to control himself not to hurt her. Just thinking about it made him angry.
“Of course sir,” Luca left the room. Cristian lit a cigarette, walked to the window by wheelchair and took a deep puff of smoke. In the haze of smoke, his face became dreamy, and the light shining in his eyes flickered.
After a couple of hours, Cristian heard sounds coming from the outside, “Mr. Cristian, Mrs. Serena is awake.” He did not know how many cigarettes he had smoked. Hearing these words, he put out the cigarette in his hand, turned the wheel of the chair and left the room, “I know.”
When Cristian arrived in the room, Beatrice was talking to Serena, “Have a good rest tonight. Sleep well, and tomorrow morning when you get up you will be fine.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Serena regained consciousness and remembered everything that had happened before. In a concerned voice, she asked again for confirmation, “Am I really okay? I…”
Knowing what she was worrying about, Beatrice gently stroked her forehead and said in a soft voice, “I’m a doctor, of course I know what you’re worrying about. Don’t worry, the baby is fine.”
Hearing that Beatrice mentioned the baby, Serena calmed down, “Thank you.”
Beatrice smiled, “You are Cristian’s wife, and he is my nephew. From now on, just call me aunt as Cristian.”
Hearing these words, Serena stood still. If today she called Beatrice as aunt, then it meant….
“Aunt.” a cold voice sounded. Serena looked up at the source of the voice and saw Cristian was approaching.
She was still conscious when she was together with him. As soon as she saw him, she remembered what she had done before, especially seeing the red marks on her neck. Her face turned red. she had hugged and kissed Cristian’s neck, begging him to help her. She’d rather not wake up. O… otherwise she can deny about everything that happened! She thought.
Serena was not the one who knew how to hide her emotions. As she saw Cristian, she turned red. Anyone knew what was on her mind. Cristian gave her a cold look.
“Cristian, I don’t want to scold you, but last time you said it was an accident. This time you can’t justify yourself anymore, right? Serena is your wife. Is that how you protect your wife?” in the face of his aunt’s accusations, Cristian remained silent, tightening his thin lips.
Finally, it was Serena who stopped Beatrice’s speech in a low voice: “But… aunt…”
