Nestor's phone rang.
It was Elio.
Clara motioned for him to answer immediately.
Nestor quickly hit the answer button, and Elio's anxious voice came through.
"What happened to Clara?!"
"She fainted! I tried everything but couldn't wake her up, and the doctor's phone was off!" Nestor spoke and then glanced at Clara.
Clara nodded, signaling for him to continue.
"It's really bad; I think Ms. Calloway could stop breathing soon! Elio, hurry back and check on her!"
Upon hearing this, Elio on the other end of the phone immediately responded. "Hold on, I'll be right there!"
After hanging up, Nestor exhaled heavily and looked at Clara. "Ms. Calloway, I can't thank you enough! You saved Elio!"
Clara bowed her head, feeling somewhat ashamed. "You don't have to thank me; I feel really guilty. Elio has done so much for me. This time, he was willing to fight with Leah for my children, so I couldn't just stand by."
Nestor sighed, still recovering from the shock. "Elio is stubborn. Once he sets his mind on something, he won't easily change. He was like this as a kid. If he liked a toy, he wanted that toy. No matter how great the other toys his family gave him, he wouldn't even play with them."
Clara lowered her head. She knew about Elio's deep feelings for her.
But not everything could be solved with deep feelings, especially when it came to love. If you didn't like someone, you just didn't. There was nothing that could be done about it.
