Chapter 180: Please save the baby ……
Adam Rouco pulled her out of the cold water and held her against the sink!
Estrella Berrocal was so frightened that she clenched her hands into fists and punched him in the shoulders: “What are you doing!
“You don’t want the baby in your belly! I’m going to give you what you want.”
The man was so full of hostility and ruthlessness that Estrella Berrocal gave a loud gasp, her pale lips trembled and her hands unconsciously protected her lower back. “Adán Rouco… no… no…”
But the man had lost all sense of reason.
The slender fingertips, pinched hard on the muscles of his arm.
“Estrella Berrocal, you want to abort this child, as you wish!”
In a trance, she saw the extreme indifference on Adán Rouco’s face, as if he were lynching her!
Tears, flowing freely from the corners of her eyes …
She had fainted, but a violent pang in her belly brought her back to consciousness …
He put his hand to his stomach, a strange wet feeling came from his legs, he looked up with trembling eyelashes, a splash of scarlet …
Adam Rouco’s dark eyes slammed shut.
Estrella Berrocal grabbed his arm with both hands and shouted, pleading with him: “Adán Rouco … I beg you … to save the baby … I am in so much pain … please …”
Adán Rouco took the little girl in his arms and Estrella Berrocal, in his arms, quickly fainted.
“Star!”
…
Outside the emergency room, Adán Rouco sat on a bench, his handsome face downcast, wondering what he was thinking.
When Esteban Zaragosa arrived from the adjoining apartment, the only thing he saw was that Adán Rouco’s entire body was decomposed.
Esteban Zaragosa reached over, patted Adán Rouco on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, I’ve sent the best gynecologist to save her and the baby, she’s going to be fine.”
Adán Rouco gritted his teeth: “Esteban, shall I let her go?”.
Esteban Zaragosa, who already knew Estrella Berrocal’s identity and the fact that Adán Rouco was implicated in Stefano Berrocal’s suicide, pursed his lips and asked, “Do you want me to tell you the truth?”
Adán Rouco emitted a slight “hmm”.
“Estrella Berrocal may have lied to you from the beginning to the end, she even used you and Paulita, and the death of Stefano Berrocal was not directly related to you, but was due to the collection of the debt of the Rouco Group, which caused the death of Stefano Berrocal. Berrocal’s death, and it is natural that Estrella Berrocal hated you and sought revenge on you. Only, Adam, I didn’t think you would allow that woman to carry your child when you already knew her motives were not pure.”
Adán Rouco tilted his head slightly, leaned the back of his head against the wall and sighed: “After Analena Lozada’s death, I thought I would never get married in my life, and I had Paulita to kill the old man, but I never thought that three years later, when I met her, I would feel like getting married again.”
If it hadn’t been for Jonathan Tasis and Estrella Berrocal planning it, it would have been logical to take the license with Estrella Berrocal.
Although, by that time, I had become suspicious of Estrella Berrocal.
Esteban Zaragosa frowned, “I remember you said you didn’t want to whip anyone.”
“But what if Estrella Berrocal was an exception?”.
“But what are you going to do if she’s in cahoots with Jonathan Tasis and maybe she’s lying to you from start to finish?”.
Adam Rouco’s dark eyes were as deep as ink: “She did set me up, but I set her up for revenge and I’m not going to let her leave me”.
…
Adán Rouco was out of the operating room for who knows how long, the hours seemed to stand still, surprisingly slow.
He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes slightly, thinking of the moment on Beach Island when he had returned from the dead and of Estrella Berrocal’s starry, teary eyes at the sight of him.
That excitement, that euphoria, could not be a lie.
He cared about her life and her death, he feared something would happen to her, and he couldn’t lie about that.
The door to the operating room, open.
Adán Rouco, for a moment, was afraid to step forward and ask.
Until the doctor approached him and removed his mask: “Mr. Fu, the baby Miss Star is carrying in her womb has been saved for the time being, but the fetus is very unstable, and the pregnant woman now needs to recover urgently without further stimulation.”
“How is the adult?”
“Miss Star is in shock and a little weak, nothing too serious.”
Adán Rouco’s heart remained suspended in the air and finally went back into his stomach.
After Estrella Berrocal was transferred to the general ward, she remained asleep and Adán Rouco stayed by her side.
The little woman lay quietly on the bed, her face pale and bloodless, even her breathing was much, much weaker than usual, and Adam Rouco reached up and took her little hand in his and kissed it to his lips, his dark eyes looked deep into hers and murmured softly, “Estrella, I’m sorry I frightened you.”
He had lost all sense of reason when he learned that she was going to abort his child.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Such a loss of control was something Adán Rouco had only experienced ten years earlier, when Analena Lozada had just died and he had lived every day in a state of remorse and guilt, losing himself and becoming a different person.
At that time, he had severe personality splitting, and when the second personality appeared, it killed the first one.
She hadn’t had an episode in almost three years, but tonight, she had lost it completely and almost, had it aborted.
The sleeping little woman, who appeared to be sleeping uneasily, frowned sharply at Estrella Berrocal as her fingertips gently brushed her forehead.
“Don’t come to … don’t … Adam Rouco you go…”
The man’s long fingers, a slight lurch.
…
Estrella Berrocal woke up the next morning and, as soon as she did, she unconsciously put her hand to her lower back.
Felipa, who had come to take care of her, saw her panic and uneasiness and quickly reassured her, “Third young grandmother, don’t worry, the baby is still well in your belly! Don’t worry…”
Estrella Berrocal clutched her belly, a little incredulously, “Really?”
Felipa, seeing Estrella Berrocal in such a pitiful state, sighed and said, “Yes, why would I lie to you? You and the child are lucky and you will be safe”.
Estrella Berrocal breathed a long sigh of relief when she heard this, but she kept touching her stomach for fear of losing her son.
“Third Young Grandmother, you haven’t had breakfast yet, you must be hungry, Third Young Grandmother has asked me to prepare your favorite breakfast for you, will you?”.
Adam Rouco?
At the mention of Adán Rouco, Estrella Berrocal’s little face turned white for a moment.
“No, I don’t want to eat…”
Estrella Berrocal looked at the bowl of red dates and lotus seed porridge Felipa brought her and shook her head in horror.
Felipa frowned in confusion, “Third young grandmother? What’s wrong with you?”
“Me, I’m not eating!”
Estrella Berrocal raised her hand and knocked over the bowl of red dates and lotus seed congee, startling Felipa.
Adán Rouco, who was outside the room, wanted to see her finish her breakfast before leaving, but as soon as he heard the commotion inside, he pushed the door with his long legs.
