I nodded, got in the car, and started the car.
After Leo was sent to the hospital, I sat at the corridor there, letting the wind blow through the hall. It was a little cold, and my heart felt uncomfortable.
Things shouldn't had gone this far. Why did it end up like this?
I waited for an hour in the corridor before Leo came out of the operating room. He was pushed into the ward by the nurse.
The doctor asked me to go through the hospitalization procedure. I didn't know much about the situation, so I stopped the doctor and asked, "Doctor, how is he? Will there be any sequelae?"
The doctor smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with his skin. He'll be fine after a few days of rest. However, his legs had gone through operation before, and his muscles, which cannot be healed in a short time. I'll arrange for him to take an X-ray later to see the details."
I nodded repeatedly and thanked him a few times before I went into the ward.
Because of the anesthesia, Leo lay on the bed and couldn't move. Seeing me enter, he smiled and talked in a good mood, "Don't run away. Sit down and talk to me!"
I ignored him and glanced at him, "Call someone to take care of you! It's getting late, I have to go back."
It was getting dark outside. I didn't know how to face Dennis when I went back.
His face suddenly darkened, and he looked a little gloomy, "Except for you, there's no one else to take care of me. You can go if you have something to do!"
Seeing his self-destruction, I was speechless for a moment. I frowned and said, "Then I'll find a nurse for you."
"Clara!" He looked at me with a heavy shadow in his eyes, "Do you hate me so much that you want me to die? Don't you even want to look at me?"
"No!" Actually, he didn't hurt me physically. I was just scared by seeing what he did with my own eyes.
"You know that I have no other relatives in this world. In the past five years, I have tried countless times to find you. I have endured it. I originally thought that I could survive those dark moments by myself, but I didn't expect to meet you in City A."
He looked down at the wound on his hand, and his mood was particularly low. "Little chips light great fires. When I meet you again, I don't want to be separated from you. I think I will still live with you like when we were young, can't I?"
For a moment, I didn't know what to say. The incomplete childhood drove him to seek for a place where he could feel at ease for the rest of his life.
After a pause, I said, "Leo, I'm married. I have my own family and children, I have my husband. You can stay in my world, but you can't affect my life."
"What's the advantage of Dennis? He's indifferent and cruel and doesn't love you at all. Why do you have to marry him?"
Seeing that he was so excited, I stopped talking and looked at him, "Take good care of yourself. I'll find a nurse for you."
Without waiting for him to speak, I hurried out of the hospital.
It's getting dark. I was driving Leo's car when I came to the hospital. I could only take a taxi when I got back. I stood downstairs for a long time when I returned the villa.
I was a little nervous and didn't know how to face Dennis.
But no matter how I dodged, I had to face him sooner or later.
I opened the door. It’s dark inside, and I could only see the lights in the kitchen were still on. Nanny Daisy liked to cook something when she was at leisure.
Maybe she was baking a cake. I changed my shoes. Seeing that there was no one in the hall, I heaved a sigh of relief.
