Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Albarran Bail held a meeting of Paula Rouco’s family, with Adam Rouco and Estrella Berrocal in attendance.

In the small enclosed conference room, Estrella Berrocal sobbed and held her mouth and nose as she watched the videos falling over the curtain.

Even though Adam Rouco is a good person, his eyes turned red as he watched his favorite daughter slit her wrists in the bathtub with such desperation.

Albarran Bail did not play all the thousand videos, after all, a thousand videos take a long time and Albarran Bail only played the important ones.

And for the rest, Albarran Bail gave Adam Rouco a USB memory stick with all of Paula Rouco’s videos.

When Adam Rouco and Estrella Berrocal finished watching the video and calmed down a bit, Albarran Bail said, “Paula Rouco’s illness is difficult to deal with, but it is not complicated once you have understood all her psychological movements and thoughts, she is a very simple person in herself. But, as family members, you have to be mentally prepared for a long battle, because this disease, in itself, is very difficult to cure overnight.”

Albarran Bail reached out and touched Estrella Berrocal’s shoulder to reassure her.

Adam Rouco’s voice was clipped and muffled, though he had restrained himself, and asked, “One year, will it cure her?”

Albarran Bail reflected for a moment and said, “One year would be the safest treatment cycle, but this is feasible when Paula Rouco realizes she is sick and receives active treatment, and then, if her condition becomes good, she goes home and takes her medication as she should, with regular checkups.”

The implication is that in a year’s time, I’m afraid, she won’t be cured, but the situation has improved, and this is not hard to do.

Adam Rouco purses his thin lips, swallows saliva, and finally nods with a stony face.

Adam Rouco asks, “Can I meet my daughter today? It’s been a long time since her mother and I officially met her.”

Albarran Bail nods and says, “Yes, I can, and I asked Mr. Adam and Mrs. Adam to come here today to meet Paula Rouco, give her some confidence to continue her treatment, and encourage her.”

Estrella Berrocal’s eyes filled with tears, without uttering a single word.

Albarran Bail took Adam Rouco and Estrella Berrocal into the living room.

When we arrived at the door of the room, Adam Rouco handed Estrella Berrocal a tissue and told her: “Dry your tears, so that Paulita does not see us crying for her. If not, we will not be the ones cheering her up, but she will be the one consoling us.”

Slightly flirtatious.

Estrella Berrocal wiped her tears with a tissue, but said, still worried, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold back later.”

Adam Rouco shook her hand and pulled Estrella Berrocal with him into the living room.

The door to the living room clicked open.

Paula Rouco, sitting dazed on the bed, heard the movement and looked toward the door with a languid, lazy look.

As soon as Adam Rouco’s gaze touched his daughter’s, he immediately smiled faintly in an affectionate way and asked, as always, “Paulita, you’ve been home so many days without seeing Daddy and Estrella, have you missed us?”

Adam Rouco and Estrella Berrocal walk over and sit down next to Paula Rouco’s bed.

Paula Rouco looks at them and the corners of her lips quirk a soft smile, an innocent smile.

“Think.”

Since he was alone in the room and did not speak for a long time, his voice, which at first was clear and childlike, became a little hoarse.

Estrella Berrocal looked at her daughter and tried to smile, “When you get home, I’ll make you the ravioli you like so much.”

Paula Rouco opened her lips and said with slurred speech, “I … I seem to be … very sick … I don’t know … I don’t know when I’ll be able to go home”.

She squeezed out a bitter smile toward Adam Rouco and Estrella Berrocal as she struggled to organize the flow of words in her head.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Estrella Berrocal looked at her with difficulty and tears suddenly rolled from her eyes, but she still smiled and said, “It’s okay, your father and I, we’ll be waiting for you to come home.”

Estrella Berrocal reaches out and hugs Paula Rouco.

Adam Rouco hugged them both, mother and daughter.

Adam Rouco hid the tears in his eyes, looked at his daughter’s clean white face and said softly, “Lucio will come to see you tomorrow.

Paula Rouco smiled at Adam Rouco and scoffed with a certain helplessness: “Lucio … must think that now I … … look stupid.”

Adam Rouco looked at his daughter, who was clearly smiling slightly, but it was harder than crying.

Adam Rouco reached out and hugged his daughter, tightly, before saying, half seriously, half jokingly, “If Lucio calls you stupid, you tell daddy and he will punish him harshly.”

Paula Rouco laughed and said, “He must have thought that in his mind … but her mouth … Was afraid to say it. ”

“It’s not right for you to think that way in your heart about your sister.” Adam Rouco caressed his daughter’s face, “Our Paulita, growing up smart, you were the pride of The Rouco family, no one would feel bad for you now.”

Estrella Berrocal took her hand and said, “Paulita, whatever happens to you, your father and I, and Lucio, will always be behind you, don’t be afraid and be positive in your treatment, okay?”

Paula Rouco arched an eyebrow, “I’m not afraid… just… just…. medicine … so bitter.”

So bitter.

Adam Rouco and Estrella Berrocal, took a deep breath, but tears eventually rolled down their faces, unable to contain themselves.
