Chapter213
Terrence looked up and saw Rigoberto standing in front of him,
excited and angry, saying, “How come I didn’t know about you
and her? What did I say? I was just standing up for her.”
Because Rigoberto was blocking, Terrence didn’t get a clear
view of the person on the sickbed.
The first aid personnel passed by them very quickly.
And as Rigoberto was speaking, Terrence naturally averted his
gaze. Last time Rigoberto was badmouthing Bethany at the
Ruby Club, Terrence was already upset. This time, with
Rigoberto talking nonsense again, Terrence’s expression looked
even worse.
“You’d better figure out the situation. She was the one who
backed down back then. If you keep making trouble
unreasonably, don’t blame me for not recognizing you!”
Rigoberto knew about this.
For this, the McConnell family and the Gilbert family had a
falling out.
Don’t say the McConnell family didn’t agree, the Gilbert family
Chapter213
didn’t agree either.
Rigoberto’s voice lowered a bit, “Don’t you know Krista’s pain?
She had to make that choice for you, for the McConnell family
and the Gilbert family’s relationship. Have you ever considered
her feelings?”
“Enough!” Terrence said irritably, “I’m already married with a
six–year–old son, so let’s end it here for today!”
Rigoberto only knew one, not the other.
Rigoberto was also angry and wanted to stand up for Krista.
But what Terrence said is true, he’s married now and has a son.
What’s going on between him and Krista is just making her at
third party.
Rigoberto didn’t say anything, and the atmosphere around was
unusually cold and heavy.
Half an hour later, the door of the emergency room opened.
Rigoberto was more anxious than Terrence, so he rushed up.
“Doctor, how is she doing?”
“No big deal, luckily fell from a low place onto the grass, treated
the small wound, just a bit of concussion in the head, need to
Chapter213
wait for the patient to wake up to see the specific situation.”
Rigoberto breathed a sigh of relief. When he arrived, Krista’s
forehead was bleeding, and it was all over her face. It was really
scary.
The nurse wheeled Krista out of the emergency room. She was
still unconscious, with a bandage on her forehead, pale face, and
no color on her lips. She looked very weak.
Rigoberto was heartbroken and went to the ward with the
nurse.
Krista settled down, Rigoberto sat by the bedside with her.
Since Krista was okay, Terrence decided to leave.
He hasn’t explained it to Bethany yet.
“Terrence…”
In a coma, Krista whispered Terrence’s name.
Rigoberto immediately turned his head and saw that Terrence
had already turned around.
“Terrence, are you leaving?”
“Terrence…Terrence…I won’t let anything happen to
you…Terrence…”
Krista furrowed her brow, muttering under her breath.
Rigoberto thought Krista needed Terrence.
Only Terrence knew what Krista said.
She had a nightmare…
Terrence turned and walked to the bed.
Rigoberto stood up, pursed his lips, and said nonchalantly, “She
needs you more, so I’ll go first.”
Rigoberto turned around and left.
Terrence sat down, frowning.
After a while, Krista seemed much calmer and stopped talking
in her sleep.
Terrence’s pitch–black pupils were fixed on the sleeping Krista,
his expression unreadable.
Terrence hardly slept a wink all night, and only dozed off at the
crack of dawn by Krista’s bedside.
When Krista opened her eyes, she saw Terrence.
Chapter213
While he was fast asleep, his features still looked handsome and
attractive.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, she knew, he still cared
about her.
She reached out to touch his face, but then she was afraid of
waking him up, so she slowly pulled her hand back.
Because Terrence was slouched in the chair, his coat pocket was
wide open. Krista saw a long box in the pocket, it looked like a
necklace box.
Terrence bought jewelry, he would only give it to two people.
Either for Bethany or for her.
Krista gently took out the necklace box and stuffed it under the
pillow…
When Bethany woke up, it was already bright outside.
Her attending physician came to check on her and saw that she
was awake. He immediately said to her, “Ms. Zavala, you have
liver cancer. It’s best to avoid getting angry. The reason you vomited blood yesterday was because of internal bleeding
caused by anger. If you continue like this, your condition will
worsen. I suggest you stay in the hospital for rest, otherwise I
Chapter213
can’t guarantee whether you will survive the next six months.”
Bethany took out her phone and typed a message: “I got it, I
won’t get angry easily anymore“”
The doctor earnestly advised, “Your illness is not easy to cure. I
know you are still young and may find it hard to accept at the
moment. But if you refuse treatment, there will be no chance at
all. Nowadays, with advanced medical technology, there might
be a chance for surgery if there is a breakthrough during
chemotherapy.“”
