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

Paula

I can’t believe my sister is in the hospital, God! I cried thinking of the worst, as Dante sped towards the hospital. I clasped my hands on my legs. Dante every now and then turned his face to look at me nervously.

“Everything will be fine, baby,” he tried to comfort me but nothing could calm the anxiety that I was feeling.

We got there and I jumped out of the car before Dante could park the car properly. I ran up to the reception and asked the receptionist for my sister. They informed me that she was on the second floor. I ran upstairs and watched Sara standing there alone.

"Sara!" I exclaimed coming to the side of her. The tears did not wait to surface.

"My girl, it's good that you arrived,"

"What happened Sara, what happened?" I asked desperately.

"I don't know, Paula. Only that Katy fainted. I didn't know what to do so I called an ambulance to bring her as soon as possible and then I called you, Paula. Forgive me for not telling you earlier, I was very scared."

"No Sara, what you did is right. You did as you saw fit. Thank you, and what do you know about her? "

"Nothing yet, they haven't given me any information," suddenly I felt the presence of someone behind me and that characteristic aroma that I already knew.

"Baby!" he said softly. I turned around and hugged him, sobbing into his chest.

"Easy, love, she will be fine. You'll see," he said and my whole world spun upon hearing that word.

Love? Oh God, he called me Love. I can't believe it. I hugged him tighter and he kissed my head repeatedly. God! it feels so good. For the first time, I don't feel so lonely.

"I'm sorry, how rude of me, Sara. Let me introduce you to Dante, a friend, and Dante she is Sara. She is my second mother," Dante's face fall, perhaps because of the word “friend.” But we are still nothing. Yes, we had sex and other things but we have not defined anything yet.

"Nice to meet you, ma'am," Dante greeted kindly.

"The pleasure is mine, Dante," Sara replied.

Suddenly, Dr. Luis appeared. I let go of Dante to turn to him.

"Hello Paula." he greeted when he saw me.

"Doctor, how is my sister?" I questioned in anguish. He just looked at Dante. I didn't know how to interpret his gesture. I don't know if Dante's presence bothered him. I noticed the tension between them.

"Paula, she is stable. She got sick. I'm afraid she will be hospitalized for treatment. If she reacts positively, I will discharge her in a couple of days," I sobbed in anguish, unable to contain it again. My poor little one!

"I thought she was improving, Doctor?" I questioned.

"We'll see how she continues, okay?" he gently squeezed my shoulder and in response, Dante encircled my waist and held me, possessively. As if he were marking his territory.

"Thank you, Doctor and we would appreciate it if you keep my girlfriend and me informed of any news," my jaw dropped. Did he just call me his girlfriend? O Most Holy Virgin, when did he ask me? Since when are we dating?

The Doctor's face was worth a sight. He didn't know what to say. He just nodded and smiled a little, which was more like a grimace of disgust.

“Men!” I whispered.

"Can I come by to see her?" I asked, wanting to see my little girl.

He flatly denied, "Katy is sedated, you better see her tomorrow."

I just nodded in response.

"OKAY." There was nothing more to say, at least Katy was fine. It was the most important thing, however, the anguish over her illness tormented me day and night.

"Excuse me," The doctor spoke, giving Dante an unfriendly look while he continued to hold me by the waist. What's wrong with them?

"Sara, go home and rest. I'll stay here with her. Don't worry," she was too old to suffer this bustle. She has already done enough for us.

"It's fine, Paula, but tomorrow I'll come so you can rest my girl," I just squeezed her hands gently.

"Thanks, Sara, I don't know what I would do without you," I hugged her tight and she did the same.

Dante came closer to me, gently stroking my cheek.

"Honey, let's go and have a coffee, will you?" he suggested and I think it was a good idea. I need it to stay awake and keep an eye on my sister all night.

"Thanks, Dante, but you have to go it's late, you should also have some rest.”

"I'm not going anywhere, Paula. I'll stay here with you," he said firmly and I felt a tug on my chest. I felt pathetic but how do I explain to my heart that this man has me crazy?

"Okay, then let's go have a coffee," I replied. He grabbed me around the waist. We went down to the hospital cafeteria and we both asked for a coffee cut. I didn't know we had the same tastes.
