My Sweet Wife

The party went on until it was over, and Larissa was the last to leave. The whole party, she watched Nathanael Lora didn’t even have the courage to walk up and talk to him.

She wondered if he was really angry and annoyed with her and just decided to marry another woman.

But wasn’t it shameless of her to ask such a thing? She should have apologized to him first, along with Old Lora and Nathanael’s mother.

“President Nathanael, why haven’t you left yet?”

“I’m waiting for someone.”

A familiar speaking voice was heard in her ears, Larissa turned her face to look over, it was Nathanael Lora. he was waiting for someone, was he waiting for her?

Larissa steps over and sees Nathanael Lora watching her as well. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight and looked a little tired, she remembered that Nathanael’s mother had called her and told her that he was sick.

The two looked at each other without words, and it was as if their surroundings were stilled. She brewed for a good half a second before she spoke, “Your body …”

At that moment, a cell phone call came in on Larissa, and she stopped talking and looked down as she pulled her cell phone out of her bag and put it to her ear to answer it.

“I’ll be right back.”

The call was from Cecelia, and Larissa could guess that Cecelia was calling her to urge her to go back, so she answered back.

Hanging up and putting her cell phone away, Larissa looked at Nathanael Lora and thought about speaking again when she did. A person came over not far away.

“Brother Nathanael, well, let’s go. I’m so sorry I had to go to the bathroom at this time of the day and make you wait for me here.” Zafirah takes Nathanael Lora’s arm, all smiles and a sappy, soft tone.

Nathanael Lora withdrew her eyes to look at her and responded, “Uh-huh.”

Larissa watched the two of them leave from in front of her, gazing at their backs for half a second.

After walking outside the hotel and getting into the car, Zafirah only looked over at Nathanael Lora a few times about to open her mouth, and said, lustfully, “Brother Nathanael, she, it looks as if she has something to say to you.”

“Haven’t you always wanted to see her?”

“She seems busy.” Nathanael Lora looked inside the rearview mirror at Larissa, who was already in the car as well.

He thought it would be better to give her some more time, he would see her again when she wasn’t so busy and could spare some time to see him.

Larissa rushed back, first went to Cleo’s home, picked up Cleo back to the hospital. Cleo wanted to go home to see, have dinner with the family, also in the hospital to stay tired, so let Cecelia take him home to stay for half a day.

Cecelia still had some work stuff to take care of and couldn’t get away to take Cleo back to the hospital, so she called Larissa to help pick him up.

Cleo talked after Larissa who was pushing the wheelchair behind him, “You went to the party today, did it go well?”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Uh-huh. It went pretty well.”

“It’s really troublesome for you, you’re already tired after attending the banquet so late, and I still have to ask you to pick me up.” Cleo had just observed the tired look on Larissa’s face while riding in the car, it was just that on the way, he wanted to open his mouth to talk to her, but he was afraid that she was in a bad state and was too distracted to drive properly.

A small smile appeared on Larissa’s face, “You’re too kind to say that. I’m supposed to be taking care of you, and it’s only right that I pick you up, there’s no such thing as trouble or no trouble.”

After she got back from the party, her mind was racing with what Kennedy had told her, and watching Nathanael Lora and Zafirah in that intimate manner.

Always a bit out of it, Cleo spoke to her and she responded with slow reactions.

At that moment a few nurses were heard talking in her ears:

Nurse a, “How come our Dr. Cleo is so miserable, losing his leg at such a young age. He used to be the man of the hour in our hospital, a bunch of little nurses liked him, even some patients who came to see him, because they wanted to look at Dr. Cleo twice more, and those who weren’t sick and pretended to be sick all stayed in the hospital.”

Nurse b sighed. “That’s right, who says otherwise. Now that I’ve given my leg away, I don’t know if my body will ever be healthy again. Most importantly, I still don’t know if my fertility has been affected, I still don’t know if I can still have that.”

Nurse C laughed playfully, “You’re really funny, you’re still worried about Dr. Cleo’s fertility, as he is now, which girl is still willing to marry him? Even if he is fertile, so what? Who would be willing to help him give birth to a child? Without a leg, he won’t even be able to take care of himself, so if he marries Dr. Cleo, he’ll be taking care of a cripple for the rest of his life, what woman would want to marry him?”

Larissa looked at Cleo sitting in his wheelchair, he even froze, she wanted to open her mouth to say something, or maybe she hurriedly pushed his wheelchair, quickly take him away, not to listen to them talking about this.

But Cleo had already heard it, and would it hurt his pride even more if she took him away like that?

Thinking for a moment, Larissa pushed Cleo’s wheelchair and took a step in the direction of the nurses.

“Dr. Cleo!” Nurse A, who saw Cleo first with her sharp eyes, shouted loudly, signaling the two beside her who were still gushing.

The two nurses were also startled and shouted sheepishly, “Dr. Cleo.”

Nurse A purposely said more in order to cover up their faintheartedness, “Dr. Cleo, why are you so late, just coming back? I …”

Larissa’s eyes sternly swept at them, “Just to let you know, Dr. Cleo and I are getting married soon.”

With those words, she pushed Cleo, who was sitting in a wheelchair, away.

Several of the nurses also gasped, and when they slowed down, they were shocked again, “What did she say? She’s going to marry Dr. Cleo? Is she out of her mind? Who doesn’t know that she, Larissa, and Nathanael Lora are already married? We all just watched Larissa arrive at our hospital and went to go over her news?”

“Exactly. Is Larissa divorced from Nathanael Lora?” Nurse b asked curiously.

Nurse c thought of something and looked at Larissa in disbelief, “No way? In order to repay Dr. Cleo for saving her life, movie queen Larissa divorced Nathanael Lora, the young master of Nathanael, and remarried Dr. Cleo? This is definitely the most explosive news of the year!”

“…”

Larissa pushed Cleo back to the hospital room, she reached out to support Cleo, seeing Cleo not moving, she called out, “Cleo …”

His face is still hard to see, the eyes under his eyes become gray, just like the time when he just knew that he couldn’t move his legs, looking at Cleo like this, Larissa is heartbroken and anxious.

“Cleo, you don’t listen to the words they say … ” she didn’t know how to persuade Cleo.

Sometimes, some people’s hearts are not bad, they just have a broken mouth and their words can kill, those people don’t know. She had spent so many years in the entertainment industry, faced so many netizens, and heard all kinds of vicious curses, she would have a greater mental capacity than the average person to listen to those words.

After thinking for a long time, Larissa was able to organize her language and said, ”The things they said, none of them are true, Cleo, you shouldn’t take it to heart. Your body will get better, you can also stand up and walk freely like a normal person, I am also willing to marry you.”

“Cleo, it’s not worth it to be sad and upset over what they say. It’s hard for you to be sad and upset, it’s hard for you, it’s hard for those of us who care about you.”

After she finished those words, it was a long time before Cleo spoke up, “Larissa, you don’t have to say those words to comfort me, what kind of person I am, I know myself.”

“I’m not comforting you, I’m telling the truth.”

After saying that, she added, “I’m really telling the truth, I’ll marry you, I really will.”

Regarding what Cecelia had told her earlier, she had been avoiding thinking about it, avoiding giving an answer. Situations like today had forced her to think about it seriously. Cleo needed her right now, and Nathanael Lora, the girl he was following around today was nice, and she could tell that girl liked him too.

“Larissa, I’m glad enough that you’re willing to say those words to comfort me.” Cleo pulled a far-fetched smile from her face.

He didn’t take her words seriously, and he didn’t want her to worry about him.

Seeing Cleo about to get up, Larissa reached out to help Cleo, “Here, I’ll hold you. ”

“No, I want to try by myself.” Cleo waved away Larissa’s hand.

All he could think about at this moment was that those nurses had just called him ‘crippled’! He may not have a leg, but he wasn’t a cripple, and he wanted to prove that he wasn’t.

Larissa watched as Cleo insisted on trying it herself, so she could only watch from the sidelines. She watched as sweat oozed from Cleo’s forehead for a good half a second before he strained to get out of the wheelchair, stood on one leg, hopped up a bit, sat on the bed, and laid back down.

Larissa was happy for him that he could stand on one leg and get up from the wheelchair and make it to the bed on his own.

Larissa had a smile on her face, “Wait here for a moment, I’ll go get you some water so you can wash up.”

“It’s better if I go into the bathroom and wash myself.” Cleo got up from the bed again, he seemed to feel a bit of a struggle still, still he reached for the crutches that were sitting beside the bed.

In the past, when he had washed up every day, Larissa had been the one to fetch the water and bring it to him. When he wanted to take a shower, it was Larissa who would help him into the bathroom, get him a bench, and put the crutches in the bathroom while she waited outside for him to come out.

Cleo was fine with going to the bathroom on his own, and showering in the bathroom on his own, so Larissa didn’t stop Cleo when she watched him try to wash up in the bathroom on his own.

Larissa stood in the doorway of the bathroom and watched as Cleo stood in front of the sink and washed his face. Her voice was light as she said, “Cleo, I came here to take care of you, so don’t be afraid to trouble me with just that much hard work.”

Standing on one leg, not to mention the problem of balance, just standing is tiring, and it’s just too much effort for her to watch Cleo like this.

“The doctor has said that in another two months, when the wound has grown back, you can be fitted with a prosthetic leg. You are a doctor, you also know about prosthetic limbs, nowadays technology is so advanced, the prosthetic limbs that are built, will not differ much from normal limbs, they can all walk freely.”

“I’ve already chosen the lightest and strongest space material for you to make the prosthetic limbs. So there’s no need for you, now, to have to adapt to walking on your own, to force yourself to do something.”
