Chapter 21
Brit slowly calmed down. He glanced at Presley and then turned to walk towards the ICU
The room was filled with the smell of disinfectant Brett couldn’t help but frown. He took it one step at a time as he walked to trabella’s bedside her face was pale and lifeless
The hospital room was so quiet that it made one feel boundless loneliness. The emptiness felt different from home, the morbid stillness made it hard for him to breathe after a while Brett sat down looking up at the IV drip For the first time he fell scared
What was he cared of
He was scared that trabella would never wake up again
Brett felt his nose tingle, and tears welled up in his eyes. He went over with a trembling hand and took hold of Izabella’s slender wrist
The patient gown was alread, the smallest size but it was still too big for Izabella. Her delicate arm had several noticeable needle marks, surrounded by shades of purple and dried yellow liquid
“Izabella didn’t know you were so tick” he whispered
He suddenly remembered the day he locked Izabella in the bedroom She pounded on the door, screaming that she was dying
He had dismissed her cres, not taking her seriously, thinking she was just using some kind of trick
Just because he had never seen Izabella sick didn’t mean she couldn’t get sick or die
Why didn’t he listen to her and let her out back then?
Izabella tabella Tears Elurred his vision. He pressed her hand to his face, calling her name over and over, trying to wake her up
Time slowly passed by At some point, Presley came in to check on Izabells. Her vital signs were relatively stable, it was now a matter of whether she could wake up within 48 hours
Presley gave Brett a cold glance. Both men were worried about Izabella Although their eyes met with contempt they didn’t argue of fight as they had before.
Brett hadn’t slept for 40 hours straight, his eyes were red and dry. Exhaustion was taking its toll on his body, but he didn’t dare to sleep. He was afraid that Izabella would wake up frightened or thirsty when he wasn’t by her side
He gently touched the wound on tabella’s forehead, his fingertips trembling She seemed as fragile as a glass doll, as if she would shatter with a single touch.
How long could someone with late stage stomach cancer survive?
Brett didn’t dare to search or ask, afraid of teaming an answer he couldn’t handle
Deep down, he knew the truth it was a terminal illness, and she wasn’t destined to die of old age like a normal person. The life of someone in the late stages of cancer was like a withering leaf falling from a tree
izabella received IV fluids all day long two bags of nutrients every day, each lasting four hours, along with other medicines. In total, she received up to 12-13 hours of IV fluids each day
A catheter needle was inserted into her hand to minimize pain, but even so her hand became swollen and cold.
Izabella had taken over the Salotti Group at just 18 years old, when she was still a little girl. She was strong willed and not only had to manage the company but also had to deal with her so–called “family“, who spent her money while cursing her behind her back
