Chapter 272: Your sister-in-law is no one else
Before leaving, Paulita clamored to see her second grandfather as well, but Roberto Rouco prevented her from doing so.
“The hospital is full of germs, and your second grandpa doesn’t even know if he’s awake yet. When second grandpa wakes up, grandpa will take you to see him, good granddaughter, okay?”
Paulita nudged his little mouth, “Okay then.”
Estrella Berrocal caressed Paulita’s little head, “Paulita is very good”.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
When Adán Rouco went to the hospital with Estrella Berrocal, the latter frowned, “It’s strange, why did Uncle Dos suddenly faint if he was fine when he came to see us this morning?”
As Adán Rouco drove, he said, “Uncle Er has had an old angina problem and may be coming back.”
“I hope Uncle Two is okay.”
Estrella Berrocal prayed and, inexplicably, always felt an affinity for Fresco Rouco.
Roberto Rouco also makes her feel like a stern old father, and although Fresco Rouco is also a father, Estrella Berrocal felt that Fresco Rouco was a good match for her from the moment she met him.
When they arrived at the hospital, Shoshana Duque and Arella Rouco were sitting on a bench outside the resuscitation room waiting, mother and daughter hugging each other with worried faces.
As soon as Adán Rouco arrived, Arella Rouco got up from her chair and ran to her and threw herself into Adán Rouco’s arms.
“Brother… My father has suddenly fainted! Do you think he’s going to be alright? I’m really scared…”
Adán Rouco stroked the back of her neck and reassured her: “Brother is here, uncle two will be fine”.
Arella Rouco cried and cried, but was immediately consoled by Adán Rouco.
It is clear that Arella Rouco trusts Adán Rouco.
Estrella Berrocal, although she didn’t like the idea of Adán Rouco hugging another woman, even if the woman he hugged was her sister, was a little jealous, but because Arella Rouco was so sad and worried, she didn’t mind.
Shoshana Duque’s eyes changed when she looked up and saw Estrella Berrocal, turning her back to her and not exchanging any greeting with her.
Estrella Berrocal didn’t care, she just assumed that Shoshana Duque was too worried about her to care.
Estrella Berrocal also came over to comfort Shoshana Duque, saying, “Don’t worry, second aunt, second uncle came to see Adam and I in the morning and he was in a good mood, I’m sure he’s fine.”
Shoshana Duque froze, frowning, “What do you mean, he came to see you and Adam in the morning?”
“Yes, second aunt.”
The light in Shoshana Duque’s eyes, even colder.
Fresco Rouco has gone to see Estrella Berrocal without her knowledge, and he seems to care a lot about his son with Juanisha Capistrán!
The door to the resuscitation room, open.
A couple of doctors came out and Shoshana Duque greeted them and asked, “Doctor, how are you?”.
“The elderly man fainted suddenly due to a myocardial infarction, fortunately they brought him in time and he is fine, but they still need to pay more attention to him in general, there is no guarantee that he might faint again in the future.”
Shoshana Duque breathed a big sigh of relief.
After Fresco Rouco was moved into the room, Arella Rouco leaned on Adán Rouco and did not let him leave.
Fresco Rouco has no children, and it is only fair that Adán Rouco, Fresco Rouco’s only nephew and Arella Rouco’s only brother, stays here to take care of them.
Only Estrella Berrocal needed to rest, she was pregnant and her pregnancy was still unstable and she could not stay here with him until Fresco Rouco woke up.
Adán Rouco told Arella Rouco: “I’m going to send your sister-in-law and come back”.
Arella Rouco refused, pulling Adán Rouco’s hand and without letting go: “Brother, have your assistant take her away, what if something happens to my father again? My mother and I are scared to death today….. Brother, don’t go away, okay?”.
Estrella Berrocal saw him and said, “Adam, why don’t I stay here with you, I’m fine”.
Adán Rouco did not allow it: “You are weak, stay here with me, I am afraid something is going to go wrong, I will send Santino Yepes to pick you up, you go home and sleep well in the afternoon, I will be back when Uncle Two wakes up”.
Estrella Berrocal nodded, “Okay then.”
Santino Yepes arrived at the hospital and Estrella Berrocal was about to leave when Adán Rouco gently put her back in.
Estrella Berrocal was stunned and looked at his deep stare, “What for?”.
The man looked down, gave her a gentlemanly kiss on the forehead and whispered, “Call me if you need anything.”
Estrella Berrocal’s cheeks flushed slightly; how could he kiss her when there were so many people watching?
“Well, I’m off, then.”
Arella Rouco clenched her fist at the scene.
In the past, she was the woman her brother cared for most, and she was always the first one he protected, but now, he shows tenderness and affection for another woman.
Her brother was, at one time, such a detached and cold person that she thought it would be impossible for him to become infatuated with any woman other than her in the future.
But now, Estrella Berrocal has become that special case.
On what basis?
…
After Santino Yepes dropped Estrella Berrocal back at The Villas at Repulse Bay, Estrella Berrocal was very sleepy, she seemed to be very sleepy during her pregnancy and had to take a nap every afternoon to feel better.
So, as soon as I got home, I put on my pajamas and took a long nap.
When he woke up, it was five o’clock in the afternoon, in early winter, when it gets dark and the windows were already gray.
Estrella Berrocal picked up her cell phone, which she had put aside, and sent a tweet to Adán Rouco.
“Is Uncle Two awake?”
Quickly, Adán Rouco replied, “Not yet, the doctor said it could be seven or eight o’clock at night before he wakes up.”
Estrella Berrocal gave an “oh”.
Adán Rouco added: “Have you had dinner?”.
“Not yet, I just woke up, now I’m getting up for food, how about you?”
After a few seconds, Adán Rouco called back: “Don’t get up, I have asked Santino Yepes to order a meal and some sandwiches to be delivered”.
Estrella Berrocal’s heart warmed and the corners of her mouth turned up when she saw the message.
“Good.”
Over here, Adán Rouco was chatting on Twitter with Estrella Berrocal when Arella Rouco returned from the bathroom and saw Adán Rouco frowning tenderly as he sent the message.
Obviously in contact with Estrella Berrocal.
Arella Rouco came and sat down next to him and asked him, “Brother, I remember that before you didn’t talk to people, how come now … you talk to people?”
Adán Rouco blocked the screen of his phone and returned, “Your sister-in-law is no one else.”
“…”
A word that clogged Arella Rouco’s heart and rose uncomfortably.
…
Estrella Berrocal is back in bed with a full stomach after a delicious meal and appetizers delivered by Santino Yepes.
He had slept too much in the afternoon and didn’t feel like sleeping at the moment, and with nothing to catch up on lately, all he could think about was Arella Rouco falling back into Adam Rouco’s arms.
The more she thought about it, the more it seemed to her that Arella Rouco’s feelings for Adán Rouco were a bit excessive; she could understand her sister’s possessiveness towards her brother, but would it show too much to Arella Rouco?
She couldn’t resist sending a tweet to Dulcina Calvo asking her, “Do you have a brother?”.
Dulcina Calvo said, “Yes, a cousin and a cousin, the cousin is closer to me, the cousin is not”.
“So, if your cousin had a girlfriend and a wife, would you feel like your brother was taken from you?”
Dulcina Calvo: “…”
After sending a string of ellipses, Dulcina Calvo said, “Why, my brother is going to have a family too, and besides, my brother wasn’t mine in the first place.”
“Aren’t you at all jealous of your brother being nice to another woman besides you in the future?”
“What’s there to be jealous of, he’s my cousin too, he’s supposed to be good to his wife, Estrella, what kind of weird question is that you’re asking?”
