Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

It was three o’clock in the morning when Jerold Rouco woke up.

He had just awakened and tried to move his arm, only to find his hand held tightly by a small, soft hand.

His brow furrowed slightly.

When he looked down, he saw a little girl asleep on the edge of the hospital bed.

Jerold Rouco leaned out to see her hand wrapped tightly in his and tried to peel it off, but Estrella Berrocal was not sleeping well and soon woke up.

“Adam?”

His voice was muffled and a bit nasal after waking up.

He stared blankly at the man in the hospital bed for a long, long time, and the light in his eyes, little by little, faded.

The man in front of her was still Jerold Rouco.

Adán Rouco would never have looked at her with such a strange and cold look.

Estrella Berrocal let go of his hand and asked, “Are you still not feeling well, I’m going to call Dr. Esteban.

However, Jerold Rouco said coolly, “The so-called Dr. Esteban, as you call him, has knocked me out with ecstasy and brought me here, and you think I’m going to believe him?”

Estrella Berrocal frowned, “It was your lack of cooperation that made Dr. Esteban …”

“Why would I cooperate with you, to cooperate with you in the recovery of Adam Rouco?”

The Jerold Rouco in front of me, although he was the third personality of Adán Rouco, was very different from Adán Rouco’s. Although Adán Rouco used to be cold, he was nowhere near as impersonal as this Jerold Rouco. Although Adán Rouco used to be cold, he was nowhere near as impersonal as this Jerold Rouco.

“Jerold Rouco, you must get treatment now, only Dr. Esteban can help you.”

“Why should I get treatment?”

Estrella Berrocal was speechless for a moment, she still could not tell Jerold Rouco that he was only the consciousness of the third personality that had emerged after Adam Rouco developed a split personality, if Jerold Rouco knew this, he would not cooperate with the treatment, let alone let Adam return.

When Estrella Berrocal said nothing, Jerold Rouco lifted the sheets, got out of bed, put on his shoes and left.

Estrella Berrocal stopped him: “You can’t leave!”.

“Why can’t I leave, or is it that you want to detain me illegally?”

Jerold Rouco pulled her arm away and walked away from her, without giving her a second glance.

Estrella Berrocal knew perfectly well that the man who had hurt her, ignored her and treated her like a stranger was not Adán Rouco, but the fact that Jerold Rouco was standing over Adán Rouco’s face and body still saddened Estrella Berrocal.

Just as Jerold Rouco was about to leave, Estrella Berrocal gritted her teeth and chased after him, wrapping her waist tightly around his waist from behind.

“Please … give me back Adam.”

Estrella Berrocal prayed over and over again in her heart, Adam, come back, come back soon….

I really didn’t know how much longer I could hold out, or what to do with this Jerold Rouco.

“Let him go.”

The two hands of the little woman, threaded behind his waist and in front of him, seemed to be tied in a deadlock, and he could not detach himself from them for a moment.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“You’re not getting out of here, Jerold Rouco, I’m not letting you out of here!”

With impatient eyes, Jerold Rouco forcefully pushed Estrella Berrocal’s hand away and pushed her away with a violent slap, “Keep stalking me like that and don’t make me do it to you!”

“You can’t leave!”

Jerold Rouco pushed Estrella Berrocal out of his way, her strength was low and Jerold Rouco had not fully mastered the force, Estrella Berrocal stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

But Jerold Rouco didn’t care about her and left at her pace towards the living room.

Esteban Zaragosa heard the commotion and arrived in a hurry.

“Dr. Esteban, stop him!”

Esteban Zaragosa struggled with Jerold Rouco to keep him from leaving, and just as Jerold Rouco’s hand was about to strangle Esteban Zaragosa, he had the presence of mind to inject a dose of the drug into Jerold Rouco’s arm.

Jerold Rouco collapsed to the ground.

“Adam!” shouted Estrella Berrocal.

Esteban Zaragosa wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb…. this guy, he hit hard!

“He’s fine, but he can’t stay here anymore.”

“He’s going to leave as soon as he wakes up and he’s not going to cooperate at all with the treatment.”

“And if Jerold Rouco knows that we are kicking him out and waking Adam up, he will be even less likely to cooperate with the treatment. Now, looking at Jerold Rouco’s character, it’s inevitable that he won’t coexist with Adam’s conscience.”

“Dr. Esteban, what the hell do we do?”

Esteban Zaragosa lifted Jerold Rouco, who had fainted, and said, “Take him to my private medical base.”

In the middle of the night, Esteban Zaragosa transported Jerold Rouco to his own medical base.

Dulcina Calvo’s eyes widened when she arrived in front of a huge white semi-oval building.

This was science fiction that was too avant-garde!

When the door opened, Esteban Zaragosa was seen placing his entire palm on the fingerprint recognition and, after three seconds and a few drops, a robotic voice was heard.

“Fingerprints approved, welcome home master”.

Dulcina Calvo walked in like an idiot, as if she had entered a new world. “This place of yours, mentor, is too technological!”.

“Do you like it?”

Esteban Zaragosa looked at the little woman who looked at her dumbfounded, Dulcina Calvo nodded her chin, “It’s magic.”

Esteban Zaragosa’s thin lips curved, but in Estrella Berrocal’s presence he said nothing more, merely helping Adán Rouco onto a hard, high-tech MRI-like bed.

Estrella Berrocal asked, “What if he wakes up and wants to leave? We can’t drug him over and over again.”

Esteban Zaragosa puts his palm in a fingerprint ID and the handcuffs on that bed open.

Esteban Zaragosa looked at Estrella Berrocal with a serious look and said, “If you agree, I can handcuff him now and no one will be able to get him out of here until I enter the code to unlock him.”

Estrella Berrocal bit her lip and looked at the man on the bed, her eyes slightly reddened, “Doctor Esteban, does it have to be like this?”

“The aggressiveness of this Jerold Rouco is not to be underestimated, and he has absolutely no compassion for you, if we don’t do this to you there is no way to deal with him.”

Handcuff him to a bed as if he were a prisoner, trample on his dignity and treat him like a psychopath.

Estrella Berrocal would be heartbroken, for sure.

“Think about it.”

Esteban Zaragosa pulled Dulcina Calvo, who was standing next to him, towards her.

Estrella Berrocal half knelt down next to Adán Rouco, with teary eyes looking at him, and said in a muffled voice: “Adán … I’m sorry, I didn’t want to do this, but Jerold Rouco was too uncooperative, he loved you too much, he loved you too much … I used to say that in my eyes you were like a normal person, I wouldn’t be afraid of you or treat you like a psychopath like Xiao Ya, but now … this is the only way to keep you with me. I’m afraid Jerold Rouco will run away, I’m afraid he will take you away and never come back…. I don’t want to lose you anymore… You can forgive me, can’t you?”

Dulcina Calvo stepped back, a bit shaken, sniffled and grabbed Esteban Zaragosa’s sleeve and wiped her nose. “That’s it? Estrella was so distraught when you handcuffed Adán Rouco, Estrella would have been heartbroken if you had treated Adán Rouco with electric shocks there.”

Esteban Zaragosa spoke coldly over his head, “Have you finished rubbing?”.

Dulcina Calvo was quick to let go of his sleeve, her scalp tingling, and she replied nervously, “Yes.”

“Dr. Esteban, it’s done.”

Esteban Zaragosa nodded, reached over and immediately pressed an activation button, and Adam Rouco’s two wrists were securely handcuffed directly to that technological bed.

Esteban Zaragosa said, “Now Jerold Rouco cannot escape, there are more instruments and more radiation here, you are pregnant, so you better go home and rest”.

Dulcina Calvo took Estrella Berrocal’s hand and coaxed her: “Estrella, I’m going home with you to sleep, Esteban Zaragosa is here to keep watch, everything will be fine”.

Estrella Berrocal was no longer stubborn, she also had to rest for the sake of the baby.

…

Early the next morning, La Villa Orihuela.

“Princess, I just heard about Jerold Rouco”.

A fine rage flooded Clementina Orihuela’s delicate little face, “Who the hell has dared to take my people away?”

The steward said: “It was La Ciudad Santa, Grupo Zaragosa, Mr. Esteban”.

Clementina Orihuela frowned, “Zaragosa Group?”

“Princess may not know much about the Zaragosa Group of The Holy City, the Zaragosa Group has kept a low profile over the years and the Zaragosa Group has been so secretive that few people know who they really are, but the Zaragosa Group, they are a very powerful family. Princess, if you really want to go ask someone, you can’t force it, and if you upset the Zaragosa Group, I’m afraid it will involve His Lordship’s side.”

“The Prince Zaragosa Group?” “The Zaragosa Group is more powerful than the Orihuela family?” Clementina Orihuela sneered.

The butler paused and murmured, “Not likely.”

“Chit-chat, Jerold Rouco is my man, and Prince Grupo Zaragosa can’t take my man out from under the nose of my Clementina Orihuela, however justified he may be!”

“When I arrived at La Ciudad Santa, I suddenly realized that this Jerold Rouco looked exactly like Adán Rouco, the recently deceased president of La Ciudad Santa Grupo Rouco, and the strangest thing is that this Ad án Rouco also fell overboard.”

Clementina Orihuela’s eyebrows jumped: “You mean Jerold Rouco might as well be Adán Rouco?”.

“Yes.”

Clementina Orihuela kept thinking, “No, if Jerold Rouco was Adam Rouco, and he went back to The Holy City, why didn’t he go straight back to The Rouco family?”

“Perhaps, Adán Rouco has really lost his memory?”.

“Impossible, the doctor said that his brain injury was not serious and that he had not injured any major nerves, so he could not have lost his memory. Jerold Rouco has no memory loss, unless he is hiding his identity from me, but that doesn’t make sense, if he knew he was Adam Rouco, he wouldn’t have turned himself in to be my bodyguard for so long.”

“Princess, this is not good at all, whether it’s Prince Grupo Zaragosa or Jerold Rouco, you have to be careful.”

“I have my eye on Jerold Rouco, Jerold Rouco is my man and I forbid anyone to steal him from me! Basilio Grullón, send someone to find out where exactly Jerold Rouco is right now!”

The butler had to nod, “Yes, Princess.”

“By the way, give me a copy of the data of that Adam Rouco.”

“Yes.”

As Clementina Orihuela looked at the photo of Adán Rouco, she raised an eyebrow: “He really looks just like Jerold Rouco”.

Looking further down, Adán Rouco is married.

Clementina Orihuela picked up the smooth platinum ring hanging from her neck and let out a soft laugh, “So, this ring, is it really a wedding band?”

A playful and contemptuous smile came to Clementina Orihuela’s eyes when she saw the photo of Adán Rouco’s wife.

“Estrella Berrocal?”

Clementina Orihuela looked at the photograph and commented objectively: “She’s not bad looking, but nowhere near as good as me”.

“Naturally, the princess is as pretty as anyone in all of The Holy City.”

Clementina Orihuela snorted triumphantly and said, “Whether Jerold Rouco Adán Rouco or not, whether Jerold Rouco has a wife or not, Jerold Rouco is mine!”
