Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

These days, when Adán Rouco is working and Estrella Berrocal is home alone with nothing to do, she usually takes a nutritious soup to the hospital to see Fresco Rouco.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Fresco Rouco looked at her with a loving face and said, “You are a good girl…. Arella was nowhere to be found during the days I was in the hospital, but it took you to visit me and make me soup…. Estrella, thank you.”

Estrella Berrocal, however, laughed: “I’m just paying my respects to you for Adam, as it should be. And since I was home alone with nothing to do, I came to see you.”

Fresco Rouco, seeing that it was sunny outside, said: “O Star, help me to go out and sunbathe”.

“Yes.”

Fresco Rouco got out of bed in his hospital gown and Estrella Berrocal helped him, slowly walking out to the back garden of the hospital.

Fresco Rouco, who had been blocking something to ask her, looked at her and asked shyly, “Your father, I suppose, was very good to you and your mother.”

Estrella Berrocal smiled and nodded: “Well, my father was especially good to me and my mother, but my mother left too soon and, although my father later married someone else, he loved me very much. However, three years ago, my father left too…”

A touch of dejection and sadness crept across her small face as she said this.

Fresco Rouco nodded with a sigh and added in relief, “Everyone has a destiny, don’t be so sad, you’re a good boy and I’m sure God will take care of you.”

“It must be the best luck of my life to be married to Adam. ”

…

Upon arriving in the living room, Arella Rouco found it empty, but when she saw the fish soup in the cupboard, her eyes grew slightly cold.

Arella Rouco left the room, grabbed one of the nurses who usually took Fresco Rouco’s temperature and asked her, “Nurse, where has my father gone?”

“Oh, I think I saw your father take a walk in the garden just now.”

When Arella Rouco went to the back garden of the hospital, she saw Fresco Rouco and Estrella Berrocal around the stone statue in the center of the garden.

Estrella Berrocal is helping Fresco Rouco for a walk and the two are talking and laughing and, by the looks of it, getting along well.

As soon as Arella Rouco saw this image, her inner jealousy was triggered.

Why does everyone love Estrella Berrocal?

Even his own father was so partial to this outsider!

Arella Rouco approached and pushed Estrella Berrocal out of her way, “What are you doing here!”.

Unprepared, Estrella Berrocal received a strong push from behind and stumbled violently, almost falling.

He unconsciously protected his lower back, but it was a good scare.

Fresco Rouco frowned and rushed to her rescue: “Estrella, how is it, is your stomach all right?

“Uncle second, I’m fine.”

Estrella Berrocal stood her ground and shook her head.

Fresco Rouco looked at Arella Rouco, who had just arrived, and his brow furrowed as he coldly lectured, “Why did you just push your sister-in-law! Don’t you know that your sister-in-law is pregnant? You have no sense of decorum.”

Arella Rouco clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she stared at Fresco Rouco, pointing at Estrella Berrocal and saying, “Who knows what this woman’s intentions are! She visits you whenever she can, she is not related to you, she cares so much about you, she wants your property!”.

Blood relations …

At these words, which caused Fresco Rouco to blush, he raised his hand and slapped Arella Rouco in the face.

“What nonsense you say!”

The old man’s hand, which was trembling slightly, stiffened in the air.

Arella Rouco covered her face, tears streaming down her face in anguish as she looked deadly at Fresco Rouco and Estrella Berrocal, “I’m not making this up! You are obsessed with this bitch and that’s why you protect her so much!”.

Arella Rouco went farther and farther, and Fresco Rouco, dizzy with anger, reached out to cover his writhing chest. “You … you get out of here! Unfaithful son!”

Estrella Berrocal rushed to Fresco Rouco’s aid, but was pushed away again by Arella Rouco: “Stay away from my father!”.

This time, Estrella Berrocal failed to get to her feet and fell directly against a stone statue on the side.

Estrella Berrocal stifled a grunt as she clutched her stomach.

Fresco Rouco roared, “Arella Rouco! What the hell do you want?”

Estrella Berrocal felt a familiar warmth flowing between her legs, and her little face paled as she realized what it was.

Estrella Berrocal was wheeled into the courtroom.

Adán Rouco arrives in a hurry.

Fresco Rouco stood up and said apologetically to Adán Rouco: “Adán, I’m sorry, Estrella was kind enough to come to see me and that girl Arella didn’t know what was going on and pushed Estrella down…. ”

Adán Rouco’s heart skipped a beat and he asked worriedly, “How is he now?”.

“Still, I’m not sure yet…”

Arella Rouco is sitting on a chair to the side, her face drooping as she reaches out to carefully tug on Adam Rouco’s sleeve.

His voice was a little shaky, “Brother … I just gave her a gentle push … I really don’t know why she’s so delicate … Brother… She must have been faking it! She just wants everyone to hate me. Brother… you believe me… I really didn’t use any force…”

Adán Rouco coldly pushed her hand away and told her, word for word: “If something happens to Estrella and the baby, I’m not going to forgive you just like that”.

Arella Rouco’s hand, slips and tears fall from her eyes, “Brother…”

As the doctor left the room, Adán Rouco came striding over and asked anxiously, “How is my wife?”

“Mrs. Rouco is wrong, how can she bleed again, this child, I suggest you abort it earlier, it will be less harmful for adults as well.”

Adán Rouco’s fists clenched tightly, his knuckles emitting a fearsome metallic sound.

He turned, his face frozen, and took a step in front of Arella Rouco.

Arella Rouco’s little face turned white with fear and she unconsciously shrank back, “Brother …. I didn’t really push her hard … she must have been faking it … …”

Adam Rouco’s dark eyes stared at her as if she were a sharp blade, and he said, word for word: “Do you know how much Estrella has suffered to keep this child? Do you know what Estrella has suffered to keep this child, a child that could have come into the world, and that now Estrella is going to lose because you gave her a little push?

With these words, Adán Rouco turns around and addresses the room.

Leaving an astonished Arella Rouco, “Brother … you can’t reproach me for this …”.

But Adán Rouco simply ignored her and left her without so much as a backward glance.

Fresco Rouco stood up and looked at her with disappointed eyes: “Arella, how unintelligent you are! You should reflect on yourself.

Arella Rouco covered her face in pain, no … it wasn’t her fault.

Why should everyone blame her?

It was Estrella Berrocal who didn’t have the body to deliver that child, she just pushed her gently and Estrella Berrocal couldn’t keep the child, so why should everyone blame her?

Did they ever care about her when she was sad and upset?

The day he found out that he had lost his innocence, he even wanted to drown himself in the bathtub, was he ever listened to?

If it wasn’t for Estrella Berrocal, it wouldn’t have gotten as dirty as it is now, and dad and brother, wouldn’t have been so disappointed with her, it’s all Estrella Berrocal’s fault… Estrella Berrocal should never have been there!
