My Addiction by Ida Gonzalez (e manga reader TXT) 📖

chapter 32 one last chance

Dante

Thirty minutes had already passed and I still haven't heard from Paula.

"I can't take it anymore. I need to hear from her," I growl desperately, walking back and forth under the gaze of Iam and Leonardo who hadn't moved from here.

"Calm down, Dante, please. We will have news soon," Iam asks.

I had given the data requested by the nurse, only I had to lie about our relationship. I had to say that Paula was my wife otherwise they would not give me any information. Very soon she will be because I will not rest until she is my wife.

At that moment I hear one of the doctors mention my wife's name.

"Paula Ricci's relatives." I quickly stand up.

 "Here, doctor. I am her husband," I declare.

"Well, tell me, doctor. How is she?”

"I'm going to be honest with you," he answers, looking at me with sorrow and that makes me despair. I fear the worst.

"The lady is very weak. She's very affected by the accident but....”

"But what, doctor?" I hasten to ask.

"The problem is that we don't know if her son can be saved," that was like a stab in the heart.

"No, no, you can't tell me that doctor, please. You have to save him. It's your obligation. You have to do it," I don't know what I'm saying anymore. I just want them both to be saved, it's not an option.

"What about her, doctor? " Iam asks, resting a hand on my shoulder.

"She's very delicate. For the moment, we'll keep her sedated. When she wakes up we'll see how she reacts."

"Was it a traffic accident?" the doctor asks again. We look at each other for a few seconds and finally I nod my head. I can't tell him the truth because it could change a lot of things.

"Well, I'm going to report anything sir," he says trying to turn around slowly.

"Doctor." I call back to him before he leaves. "I beg you to do what is in your blessed hands to save the two of them. Please, they are my life," the doctor gives my arm a squeeze.

"I will do everything in my power, " he says.

"Please do it,"I beg again.

I never thought it would hurt so much to lose my wife and child but she has become my everything. There is no greater love than that of a father or mother for a child. That's true.

"She'll be fine, brother. You'll see. She and your son will be fine," Leonardo approaches me. offering me a hug which I accept as I allow myself to cry.

Me Dante De Luca crying for a woman. I never imagined it but I'm not ashamed of anything because I accept that without Paula I can't go on. I need her and my son.

A few hours later the doctor comes back. I guess, with new news. Iam gets a call and moves a little away from us.

"Doctor, how is she?"

 I rush over to him.

"She's stable. She's woken up a little better," I feel a little relief in my soul to hear that. I know Paula is strong. I know she's going to be okay. She has to be okay.

"And my son, doctor?

"He's struggling," he replies, fixing his eyes on mine. "But believe me they are both strong. Let's pray they make it through this, " I just shake my head slightly affirming.

"I need to see her, please. " I ask unable to hold back anymore. I need to see her. I need to tell her that I am with her and that she will be okay. That I won't move from here.

"I don't think that's the most convenient at this time,” he replies.

"Please, sometimes we need to feel the presence of that loved one to come back to life," the doctor stares at me for a few seconds until he finally nods.

"Fine but only you," he states, looking at Leonardo and then at me again.

"Come with me, " he finally replies.

 

Isa

I've already called Paula a thousand times and she doesn't answer my calls. She hasn't shown up for work again. This is already worrying me. I have a bad feeling.

I called Santiago and we go as soon as possible to her house. We reached but what worried me the most was when Katy told me that she left very early to work but she hasn't come back. I don't like this at all.

" Call Iam. love, " Santiago raised an eyebrow.

"Iam? What for?" I roll my eyes. I really love my boyfriend but sometimes he's such a brute. Poor thing.

"In case he hears from Paula, call him," Santiago makes a gesture that he understood and I just deny rolling my eyes. He dials Iam's number while I hug Katy who already started crying. I try to calm her down as she is in delicate health and if she worries in vain, it will be worse.

"Calm down, princess. She is fine. You will see. Nothing bad happened ok?” Santiago cuts the call and looks at me.
