Chapter 383 In the future, if you want to treat her but the slightest bit badly, I will immediately rush here to take her away
After dinner, Cleo wanted to go out for a walk and asked Larissa to accompany him.
The car was ordered by Cleo in a dropshipping car, she accompanied Cleo to the car, she didn’t realize that they were coming to The Lora family until the car stopped. she looked at Cleo puzzled, “why are we coming here?”
“I’m going to hand you over to him personally.” Cleo gazed at her and spoke.
Larissa was momentarily flustered, rather than flustered she couldn’t tell what exactly she was feeling inside, her mind was even more confused, “Why?”
Didn’t wait for him to open his mouth to answer, she followed up with, “Are you because I’m pregnant? Cleo, since I promised to marry you, this child, I can …”
“You don’t love me, do you?” Cleo interrupted.
She was anxious and wanted to say something again, but then she heard Cleo say, “You are right in all that you say, I do love you enough to give up my life, but you don’t love me. Marriage has to love each other for two people to live happily ever after.”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“You said that one can fall in love over time and believe that the two of us can cultivate feelings. But, if we could really cultivate feelings, and you could really fall in love with me, why wait until today? We grew up together as childhood friends, and we’ve known each other for thirty-two years until today.”
“You said that blandness is also a kind of happiness, and wanted to open a store with me. I also thought that would be happy, and I longed for it. But that kind of happiness is not what you want, if the one standing beside you is not the one in your heart, then blandness will only be tasteless to you, not happiness.”
“You only agreed to marry me because of guilt, sympathy, but I don’t want your guilt, your sympathy.”
Larissa shook her head, “Cleo, don’t say that, haven’t you promised me everything before? The two of us, it was because I had no one else and wanted to get married and settle down, that’s why you agreed to marry me.”
Saying this, she couldn’t stop her eyes from bubbling with tears.
She always told herself that she couldn’t fail Cleo again, she couldn’t upset him anymore, he had become what he was for her.
But now Cleo was pushing her out again to make her happy.
She reached out and hugged Cleo, “Cleo, Cleo, you need me, what will you do if I leave you?”
“I can’t leave you or go to him. I don’t need love, I don’t need love, don’t they all say that people who love each other again will all become kindred spirits after they get married? We’ve had kinship before, Cleo …”
Cleo held her shoulders away with both hands and wiped the tears from under her eyes with a gentle smile, “Silly Larissa, that’s not the same.”
“And I, too, am not as generous as you think, I didn’t want much in the past, I wanted you to just be by my side, then I wanted you to be my girlfriend, then I thought about marrying you too. I’ve become more and more greedy, and I’m worried that I’ll want this heart of yours when the time comes.”
It was the kind of feelings he was talking about that Larissa could best understand.
After all, this is how she came to Nathanael Lora, who used to like Ewenny, and she knew he liked Ewenny but still flew off the handle, from just wanting to be by his side in the beginning, to becoming more and more greedy later on and becoming more and more miserable.
In her ears, she still heard Cleo saying, “But I know very well that this heart of yours, you have already given it to Nathanael Lora, and it is impossible for you to banish him and make room for me. In that case, it would be better for me to be alone than for three people to suffer. As long as you are happy, I shall feel happy.”
“You must worry that I have no one to take care of me, and there have always been two caretakers in the ward while you were taking care of me. They are professionals and know better how to take care of me. Besides, my wounds are almost healed and I’ll be able to have my prosthetic limbs fitted soon. With my current recovered physical condition, I can also be discharged from the hospital.”
“Alright, let’s get out of the car, he’s already waiting for you.”
Outside the car, Nathanael Lora had gotten a text from Cleo and was already standing at the door waiting for them early.
Cleo got out of the car first and then went to open the door on Larissa’s side of the car.
Nathanael Lora didn’t step forward of his own accord, he wanted to give them time to finally talk and say goodbye. He looked at Larissa, she had lost a lot of weight again and her tearful appearance made his heart ache.
Cleo looked over at Nathanael Lora, “I gave her back to you myself.”
“In the future, if you are to treat her but the slightest bit badly, I will come here immediately and take her away.”
“No, I won’t let you have the chance to take her away.” Nathanael Lora gazed at Larissa and watched as she tugged her hand on Cleo’s sleeve and stepped forward to embrace her shoulder.
Ergo, Nathanael Lora spoke to him again solemnly, “Thank you.”
“The doctor said she’s very weak, so take good care of her.” Cleo explained the last sentence and turned to leave.
“Cleo…”
“Cleo…”
Larissa called out to him softly, but he just smiled at her and got into the car without hesitation. The car was gone in front of her.
Unexplainable sadness, her life, the most hate is choice, just can’t do things is choice, just like her father and biological mother two, they two see each other, forced her countless times to make choices, let her choose one of the two of them.
She never made a choice because of the heartbreaking feelings that she couldn’t accept.
Larissa tried to go after Cleo but was held by Nathanael Lora. “Larissa … come home with me.”
Time passed quickly and it was extra cold in the middle of winter.
But the coldness did not cover The Lora family like fire lively, the family every day is busy to open things for the small child, because they do not know whether the child is a boy or a girl, Old Lora simply waved his hand, let the preparation of a boy and a girl two rooms, he is finally looking forward to his great grandchildren, happy as can be.
The family took extra care of Larissa, everyone was around her, everyone was happy, but she was the only one who was unhappy.
At night, Nathanael Lora lay in bed, holding Larissa in her arms, her jaw resting against the top of her hair, saying, “Cleo’s doing well these days, with his prosthetic limbs in place, he walks no differently than a normal person. I had the doctor take a video of him when he did his follow up.”
“Do you want to see it?”
Larissa sat up immediately, “Give it to me.”
Nathanael Lora took it in her hand, opened the video and handed it to her.
Larissa looked at the video on it, there were voices of other people talking in it, Cleo was dressed in a loose casual suit, the prosthetic leg was covered inside his pants, if he didn’t lift it up, it wouldn’t even be noticeable, he didn’t have a leg.
Watching Larissa as she watched the video, Nathanael Lora spoke again, “The hospital has promised to let him rest for another month before he is reinstated. It takes hands to heal and hold a scalpel, so it doesn’t prevent him from continuing to work as a doctor. Other than the fact that he can’t do strenuous exercise, there’s nothing else that affects him.”
“That’s good.” Larissa dropped a tear.
It was for Cleo who was happy, he loved being a doctor so much and he would be happy if he could still continue to be one.
Nathanael Lora lowered her head and kissed the tears under her eyes, lowering her voice, “Larissa, I’ll always arrange for someone to take care of Cleo, to help him with his life and his work, so you can stop worrying about him and being depressed and moping all day.”
“Your bad mood will affect the baby in your belly. The baby is growing very slowly until now.”
I just had a maternity checkup yesterday, and the baby was less than a pound, which is lighter than the same month, the baby’s weight. The doctor gave a bunch of advice about supplemental influences and keeping her in a good mood and all that.
Larissa lowered her eyelids to look at her slightly bulging belly.
“Baby.” Nathanael Lora’s face was full of tenderness as he leaned in and spoke softly against her abdomen, “Be good, baby, and work hard to grow your body, mommy and daddy are waiting for you to arrive.”
For this baby, besides having the joy of being a father, he also had a kind of celebration, glad that this child came at the right time.
With Larissa together for so many years, at first when he had sex, he did birth control, later when they reconciled again, he did this without birth control, this child, is when he went abroad to find her, pregnant.
Larissa looked at the man in front of her, she was going to be happier than Cleo after all, she had held out all these years and she had gotten Nathanael Lora’s heart. She silently wished in her heart that Cleo would find his share of happiness as well.
“He can’t hear now, his hearing hasn’t developed yet.” Larissa whispered as she raised her hand to touch his hair.
Nathanael Lora looked up at her, “Larissa, where are you going tomorrow? Is there anything you want to eat?”
Now that Nathanael Lora was on maternity leave, he was home with Larissa every day, and every day the most he asked her was where she wanted to go and what she wanted to eat.
It was a happy time for The Lora family, but they were also all sad and worried all day long because her maternity test results were not very good.
The family thought that Larissa had a misunderstanding with Nathanael Lora. Old Lora personally apologized to Larissa and called Zafirah to her door, but in the end, Larissa didn’t respond to what they said.
Every day when the Lora family spoke to Larissa, she wasn’t in the mood to talk, and sometimes she smiled a little when she was setting up the baby’s room.
“If you don’t think about it, you can tell me tomorrow.” Nathanael Lora spoke, taking the cell phone she had just handed her and placing it on the nightstand before bringing over the water and medicine on the table, “Take your folic acid and vitamins and we’ll go to bed.”
Larissa was indeed a little sleepy, she was having a reaction to her pregnancy, which was drowsiness, she was sleepy early in the day, and she didn’t feel refreshed no matter how much sleep she got.
She took the cup and took all the medicine.
Nathanael Lora took the cup and tucked her in again, “Sleep.”
When the lights went out, in less than five minutes, Larissa drifted off to sleep, and during the night she had a dream where everyone was happy, Cleo had found his significant other, her father’s adoptive and birth mothers, and they were able to talk together peacefully, her father smiled at her, and the baby, the baby was running around, she couldn’t catch up to the baby, and Nathanael Lora came over and One hand picked up the baby …
