Chapter 181: Dreams Also Weep
Shireen Miller’s whole body was restless as soon as she heard that Blanche Capra had been rescued by York Charlie. She was very disappointed that this time she had let Blanche Capra get away again. She expected some good news to come from the man who handed Blanche Capra over this time. Or that she had been imprisoned, or that she had been raped, or that she had been taken away from her and York Charlie, or that … she was dead.
But none of that. York Charlie got her out again.
In fact, at first Blanche Capra guessed it all when she was successfully tricked into a trap and then taken away and locked up. Later, she thought that York Charlie was in a hurry to go on a business trip and would not find out her disappearance for a while, but then she heard that York Charlie had mobilised the whole city’s strength to search for Blanche Capra with all its might. She panicked, fearing that Blanche Capra would be so easy for him to find.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
She was expecting that York Charlie would find her later or never find her, and even if he did, Blanche Capra would have been raped and abused, possibly even a dead body.
That was the outcome she was looking forward to the most.
Unfortunately, who knew? Who knew York Charlie would wind up going and getting her out in one piece again. It’s been two or three days and it’s just a coma? Shireen Miller doesn’t believe it, always holding out hope that Blanche Capra was disfigured or lost her body, that sort of thing. So she couldn’t wait to find out.
What happened to Blanche Capra?
It had taken her a while to find out which hospital York Charlie and Blanche Capra were at that night, and she’d heard that Blanche Capra appeared to have had a procedure done, and Shireen Miller was afraid that running over there in the evening would catch York Charlie in the act, and make him think that he was up to something bad. So she waits patiently until the next morning.
Early the next morning, Shireen Miller couldn’t wait to get to that hospital and find Blanche Capra’s ward.
She saw that the door to the ward was closed, so she looked around and crept closer to see who was in there. This proximity was just in time to hear what a woman said to Blanche Capra, “Since York Charlie already knows you’re Brandi, and since you still still love him …”
The fact that Shireen Miller’s worst fears were 100 per cent certain from this woman’s lips was so frightening that she accidentally slammed into the door.
Surprised to realise that her eavesdropping might be about to be exposed, Shireen Miller scrambled out of the room and quickly ran away, luckily … there was a corner not far away.
She patted her chest, the breath is not yet well was covered from behind the mouth, Shireen Miller felt the hard chest behind her, can be sure that it is a strong man, she has no resistance, she was behind the sudden appearance of the man dragged into an empty room.
The man released his grip and Shireen Miller was about to cry out for help when the man suddenly spoke in a deep voice, “Shut up! If you scream again I’ll throw you in front of York Charlie and tell him everything you’ve done!”
Shireen Miller was violently silenced.
The man saw that she had stopped screaming and making noise and gave a menacing grin, “If you want to marry York Charlie and become Mrs. Charlie, be good and do whatever you’re told to do from now on.”
Shireen Miller thought that the person behind him had some way to make herself become Mrs. Charlie, and was instantly delighted, but thinking of the threat she was currently facing, she restrained herself, and asked with some hesitation, “Can you … you guys help me? ”
The man gangly smile, “as long as you obey, not just marry York Charlie, as you wish.”
Shireen Miller nodded, “Then can I … I meet the man behind you,” she immediately assured, “I can make a deal with him face to face!”
The man grunted, “When you’re sincere enough, you’ll meet him naturally.”
…
Nadia was still in Blanche Capra’s room when Shireen Miller was threatened, and she listened to Blanche Capra say a lot of heartfelt words, and for a moment, she was overwhelmed with emotion, worried about Blanche Capra, and at a loss for words of comfort.
In the end, she could only say, “You can’t be depressed. Believe me, no matter what you do, your body is fundamental. The porridge is still in the thermos, you’d better drink it!”
Blanche Capra nodded and drank the porridge anyway, then watched her leave.
After Nadia left, Blanche Capra chewed the porridge with a little taste and swallowed it without taking a bite.
York Charlie comes in.
When Blanche Capra saw him come in, she stopped drinking the porridge, put it aside and wiped her mouth and lay back down. He sat on her right side and she rolled over to face her left side and turned the back of her head to him.
“I’m going to sleep, don’t talk to me.” She said.
York Charlie didn’t know how she was supposed to react, she was still mad at herself, she saw him come in, she didn’t have the appetite to eat, she saw him come in, she wanted to go to sleep, and she turned her back to him, like she didn’t want to see him.
He didn’t even want to talk to him.
York Charlie rubbed his brow in some distress. In fact, when he took out that child, how could he not be in pain? He didn’t want to part with it either, but, between her and the child, he couldn’t part with her more.
He wouldn’t allow that possibility to exist, the possibility that would take her life.
He had already lost her once.
He couldn’t take it a second time.
Perhaps, it was selfish of him. It was that he was so selfish, thinking only of keeping her with him, that he deprived that child of the possibility of surviving. He blamed himself, he was in pain, but he didn’t regret it at all.
Such a decision, he felt, was one hundred per cent right.
York Charlie sat beside her, looking at her slender back, gradually falling into deeper and deeper thoughts. He was not a sentimental person, but when facing the feelings between her and him, he would always involuntarily think a lot.
Gradually, the sunlight tilted at an increasing angle. It moved from the railing at the end of the bed to his back, the quilt she was covered in, and finally, when he looked back, it had unknowingly moved to the flowers at the foot of the bed.
Orange and white petals, interlaced. The sunlight that had become faint as it hit them was, as gently, cloaked in a veil.
York Charlie saw her shoulders exposed and got up to help her pull the covers back.
“York Charlie!” she said in a vicious tone, “you bastard!”
She turned her back to him and York Charlie, thinking she was awake, pulled the covers back over her, “You get well and yell at me all you want.”
Blanche Capra suddenly choked up, “Why did you … why did you even take, take … without my consent,” she sobbed. “You could have told me first even when I woke up! How could you let it get away from me without realising it while the person was asleep?!”
Her shoulders shook terribly, “I wasn’t at all, at all prepared for this! You know what? This is my first child! I love it as much as I love you …”
York Charlie was about to speak, but froze when he heard her last words.
She said … What did she say?
York Charlie heard it loud and clear, she said she loved him. Surprised and delighted, blaming himself and feeling sad at the same time, but also felt strange, this is not like she will say ah!
York Charlie immediately went around to the other side of the bed, to see her face, and saw that she still closed her eyes a sleeping look.
Sure enough, it was a dream.
But even when she was dreaming, she was crying so hard.
York Charlie squatted down, wanting to wipe her tears but afraid of waking her up, so a heartbroken, self-reproaching sigh overflowed his throat.
