Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Severo Laris returned to Villa Moon Lake Road with a lot of group business to attend to, but he wasn’t in the mood.

He sat back in his chair in the study, closed his eyes and exhaled a long, tired sigh.

The phone rang and the caller ID said Modeste.

Severo Laris looked at the caller ID silently and let the phone ring for a long moment before simply picking it up.

Modeste smiled and asked, “Have you been busy at work lately and how is your relationship with Paulita?”

Severo Laris swallowed his throat and said in a slightly heavy voice, “Mom, Paulita is sick.”

The Modeste on the other end of the phone froze and asked worriedly, “Is it serious and is Paulita already well?”

“She’s not good, but I … I have to see how she is not good.”

“What’s going on here…? Oh, Severo, what the hell is wrong with Paulita?”

Severo Laris didn’t hide it and said, “Because of me, she has a really bad depression and now she’s hallucinating. Mom, I think I’m doomed.”

Modeste grabbed the phone, worried and distressed: “How could she …?

Severo Laris was silent for a long time.

After a few moments, Modeste said in a low voice: “Severo, shall I go up to see Paulita?”.

“Paulita is now in the hospital, the doctor has asked us to try not to disturb her, you shouldn’t come, she probably doesn’t want you to see her now, she is very proud, she must want to make the best impression on her future mother-in-law.”

How could she want to see Modeste now, when she was feeling so miserable?

Modeste nodded and sighed, “Severo, don’t blame yourself, the most important thing now is that Paulita is cured, the medical treatment is so advanced nowadays, there will be a way out, don’t worry too much and take care of yourself.”

After exchanging pleasantries, Severo Laris was in a low mood and ended the call with Modeste.

He looked at his phone and remembered what Albarran Bail had said.

Unconsciously, Lita treats the little sprout like the child that was between them seven years ago.

Severo Laris made a phone call to Albarran Bail.

The phone is connected.

Severo Laris said, “I want to take Lita on a trip to Imperial as soon as possible. ”

Albarran Bail, on the other end of the phone, whose first reaction was to refuse, frowned, “Severo Laris, what are you pretending, to take Paula Rouco out now when her parents have agreed to hospitalize her? Are you being intolerant because Paula Rouco begs you to?”

Severo Laris cut to the chase, “You don’t understand, I wanted to take Lita on a trip to Imperial to show her the grave of Ramo Laris.”

“Ramo Laris?”

“Yes, Ramo Laris is the name I gave to the child I miscarried seven years ago, the child for whom I bought a grave in Imperial, and I want to take Lita to see the child’s mantle. Perhaps, she will untie her heart a little, if only a little more confidence in the healing.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Albarran Bail pondered for a long time before finally thinking that Severo Laris’ proposal might make a difference in Paula Rouco’s illness.

Even if the effect was marginal, at least it moved her.

Albarran Bail agreed.

…

First thing the next morning, Paula Rouco had just taken her medication under the nurse’s supervision.

Severo Laris was then transferred to the hospital.

The moment Paula Rouco saw him, she struggled to get up and walked towards him.

Severo Laris, unable to restrain himself any longer, ran to her and wrapped his arms around her, strangling her tightly.

Paula Rouco rejoiced thinking that Severo Laris had come to take her home.

“Severo… are we… shall we go home?”

Severo Laris cupped his small face and looked deeply at her as his voice trailed off, “We can leave the hospital for a while and go do something else.”

“Really … really?”

“Really.”

Severo Laris picked up Paula Rouco, changed her clothes and left the hospital.

When they got to the car, Salvino was driving and it was the airport road.

Paula Rouco leans on Severo Laris’ arms and looks out the window at the road that is not back to Villa Moon Lake Road and frowns slightly.

“Severo … where are we going?”

“Go to Imperial.”

Severo Laris stroked her long hair and pressed a kiss to her forehead, “Let’s go back to Imperial and see.”

Paula Rouco smiled at him with pure clarity and reached out to wrap her arms around his waist, silently signaling her happiness.

She’s willing to go anywhere as long as she’s not locked in a hospital ward.

Severo Laris saw her smile and followed it with a faint grin, “Happy?”

“Hmm.” Paula Rouco nodded at him earnestly.

Severo Laris sighed and looked down, gently resting his head on her forehead, closing his eyes and kissing the corner of her lips.

Paula Rouco looked at him with wide eyes and said, “It’s bitter.”

Severo Laris did not react at first.

Until Paula Rouco said, “Too much … too much medicine … so bitter in my mouth.”

Severo Laris smiled bitterly, pulled a fruit candy from his pocket, peeled off the paper and popped it in his mouth.

Very sweet, sweet Paula Rouco narrowed her big eyes.

Severo Laris spoke solemnly, “Lita, I promise you that this is the last time you will suffer, and from now on, I won’t let you suffer half as much.”

“Then … can we never go to the hospital again?”

“Except for this one thing.”

Paula Rouco blinked listlessly and said with a low little face like that of a child who has made a mistake, “I can … go home and think about what’s going on with the little bean sprouts.”

Severo Laris sighed, not knowing what to say, and merely hugged her tightly, to say no more.

…

On the flight to Imperial, Paula Rouco was very sleepy due to all the pills she had taken.

She soon fell asleep leaning on Severo Laris’ shoulder.

When a stewardess came over to ask, Severo Laris put his finger to his thin lips in a gesture of silence.

And then, looking intently at the person sleeping next to him, he reached up and gently wrapped the blanket around her.

Food on the plane.

Before leaving the hospital, Albarran Bail gave Severo Laris Paula Rouco’s medication for the day and instructed him to take Paula Rouco back to the hospital to be seen first thing in the morning.

Time is rushed.

During lunch, Paula Rouco stirred the pasta with her fork and ate a lot.

Because the hospital food did not taste as good, and because Paula Rouco had been taking medication and fluids for her recent treatment, she had no taste in her mouth.

Even the machine meals, which she normally didn’t like, she ate at this time.

Severo Laris stroked her little head eagerly and asked the stewardess to bring more tasty food.

She had already eaten enough and Severo Laris, fearing she would burn herself, took the half-eaten strawberry shortcake from her hand.

“Too much will give you indigestion, and, save some of your belly, when we get to Imperial later, I’ll take you out to eat something delicious, much better than this.”

Paula Rouco looked at the half of the strawberry tart Severo Laris had taken from her hand, pursed her lips and frowned, “It’s not good to waste food.”

Finally, Severo Laris smiled slightly at her sympathetic look and popped half of the strawberry tart into his mouth, under her watchful gaze.

“I’ll eat it for you.”

Paula Rouco: “…”

After eating, Severo Laris asked the stewardess for a glass of warm white water and stared at Paula Rouco as she drank her medicine.

Paula Rouco does not drink.

“Taking medicine makes you stupid.”

Severo Laris looked at her stubbornly, cupping her little chin with his long fingers and turning her little face to face him.

Severo Laris glared at her and threatened, “If you don’t eat, I’ll feed you with my mouth.”

“…”

Severo Laris placed several pills in the palm of his hand and handed them to her eyes, “Hmm?”

Paula Rouco squeezed the pills and drank them, one by one.

After drinking, her whole little face scrunched up, “would you … think I’m funny if … get stupid?”

Severo Laris smiled fondly, his long fingers gently pinching her little white face, and said, “It’s not funny, but it’s cute.”

Paula Rouco: “…”

Severo Laris, looking at her in confusion, took her little face between his big hands and lowered his head to kiss her, between his lips and tongue, popping a fruit candy into her little mouth.

Sweet to the core.
