VICTORIA'S POV...
Anxious, shocked, hurt and betrayed all these words could describe my Aless at this moment. Standing before the operation theatre, staring at the red light on top of the entrance blankly.
Even though he is not revealing his expressions, I know, I could feel his sorrows. For the past couple of days, lots of things have happened around us. Our life has just turned into a drama. I would say, it's more dramatic nowadays than those scripted dramas.
First, my kidnap. Second, Leo's premature birth. Dominic's revenge on Aless by buying Reywalt's shares. The truth of his identity and now this ... Lots of things are going on with him right now. and I just wish to take all of it from him and give him some time to relax.
Some burdensand pains people need to bear alone and they can't be shared with anyone even if they want to.
I walked beside him and touched his shoulder. He didn't respond but kept staring at that red light as if it was deciding his entire life's events. And honestly, it does.
"Aless..." I called to him softly.
He slowly turned to me. His ocean-blue eyes were dull and lost. I couldn't see that glint anymore. He is broken by the truth that was placed before him today.
His look made my heart clench in a tight cold grip. Still, for him, I tried to hold myself back and not to break in front of him to give him more pain.
He only stared at me. It felt like his body is here but he is somewhere else. Far away from me.
"Alessandro ..." I called him again, turning him back to me now. He was still the same, no response. I cupped his cheeks. "Baby, talk to me. Don't be like this, please." I begged him helplessly.
Still unresponsive. Sigh ...
I pulled him closer and hugged him by the neck and caressed his hair. "Hey, it's alright. Everything will be fine." I whispered in his ears. "Trust me," I added.
A few seconds later, I felt his movement and slowly, his hands wrapped around me, hugging me tightly as he hid his face in my neck, as if trying to seek some comfort.
I did my best to hold him tightly and spread some warmth to his frozen mind.
Soon, the red light was off and the surgeon came out. Breaking the hug, Aless turned to them, "What happened, doctor? How is grandma?" He asked anxiously and I supported him by his arm.
Two surgeons were inside, just walked out and both looked at each other before the head surgeon sighed and removed his head clothes slowly.
"Doctor! Why aren't you talking!" He almost yelled this time, his tone heavy.
The head surgeon shook his head. "We are sorry Mr Devonte. We tried our best. But...we could not save the patient..."
I gasped. More on Aless than the news itself.
"NO!" Aless growled and immediately his hands fisted into the doctor's collar as he yelled in his face. "How dare you say that!? What were you doing inside all this time!? How could you not save her!? Why did you get your fucking degrees!? Say it was a lie! Say you lied to me!" He shouted and I and the other doctors tried to move him from the doctor.
"Aless... Please calm down." I cried. The news about Grandma and Now it is less of a chaotic mess, affecting my mind too. Still, I am trying to keep my cool with him.
Even though I understand that his emotions caught him badly, I couldn't let him harm others swayed away by his emotions.
