Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Adán Rouco was viciously beaten.

He hugged her lean, slender body tightly, “It won’t hurt for a while, I’ll get you out.”

Adán Rouco’s eyes were reddened, seemingly angry, seemingly pained … The look was complex and hard.

Estrella Berrocal has been bleeding.

Adam Rouco did not carry her, but held her close to his chest, protecting her small body from the tongues of flame with his whole body.

Estrella Berrocal felt safer than ever in his arms.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

She was on his chest, struggling to lift her small pale face and said, “Adam, the fire is too big, you can’t escape by hugging me, I am happy that you came to save me … … but I don’t want you to die here with me … go away…”

“Estrella Berrocal, what nonsense you are talking!” shouted Adán Rouco sharply at her.

Estrella Berrocal buried her face in his arms and said nothing of it again, but hugged him even tighter.

The fire went out and over it collapsed a round log with a protruding beam.

Adán Rouco holds Estrella Berrocal in his arms for the life of …

…

Estrella Berrocal was in a coma for a whole day.

When he awoke, he was weak and his face was bloodless.

The first thing that came to his mind was Adán Rouco.

“Adam!”

At that moment, a nurse would come through the door and change her bottle.

Estrella Berrocal grabbed the nurse’s hand, “Nurse, where is my husband, how is he?”

The nurse rushed to hold her down and said, “Don’t move, you just lost a baby, you are very weak now and you have choked with a lot of smoke in your lungs, so you need to rest.”

Children …

Estrella Berrocal’s watery eyes were trembling.

He reached out, slowly touching the small, flat belly.

After all, the baby is gone.

“Your husband, is he the one with the last name Rouco?”

Estrella Berrocal’s thoughts retreated, “Yes, how is he, where is he?”.

“He … Is not doing well.”

“What did you say?”

Estrella Berrocal’s little face instantly turned as white as a sheet of paper.

“You shouldn’t be too pessimistic, maybe…”

Estrella Berrocal became even more agitated at the nurse’s words and lifted the sheets to get out of bed and go to Adán Rouco: “I want to see him! Nurse, let me go see him!”.

“You can’t come down now! Don’t come down! You…”

Estrella Berrocal, her eyes red with impatience, pulled the intravenous tube out of the back of her hand and ran off barefoot, ignoring the needle holes still bleeding from the back of her hand.

Estrella Berrocal ran out of the room and looked for Adán Rouco.

“Adam! Adam!”

He grabbed a random person in the hallway and asked, “Do you know which ward Adán Rouco is in?”

People coming and going down the hallway, seeing her in her hospital gown, barefoot and in an emotional state, thought she was crazy and mentally ill.

The ward nurse came after her: “Miss Estrella! Estrella Berrocal! Stop her! Something will happen to her if she runs like that”.

Estrella Berrocal grabbed several nurses and asked them, and one finally told her that Adán Rouco was in room 9.

Estrella Berrocal ran to room 9 and, as soon as she reached the door, she saw how the doctors and nurses pushed the body, covered with a white cloth, towards the door.

Estrella Berrocal was covered in blood, as if she had frozen in ice.

Is this… Adam?

“Miss, please move, we have to leave.”

Estrella Berrocal stared at the white cloth-covered body and the tears, one by one, fell hard.

“Adam …”

Is this Adam?

The nurse said he was in bad shape … so …

Suddenly he threw himself on the edge of the bed and shouted: “Adam Rouco, wake up! Wake up! You said we would never be separated! You can’t leave me like this… you promised me … you said … that you would leave later than me … you said… how could you leave first… you said you would take care of me for the rest of my life … how could you go back on your word?”

Estrella Berrocal was lying on the edge of the bed crying her eyes out.

The doctor and nurse standing next to her, with a helpless look on their faces, said, “Miss, you get up first.”

“Miss, this gentleman is gone, please take pity on him.”

Estrella Berrocal is irrational, “I’m not going to cry…. Give me back Adam! Look at me! Look at me!”

“Who asked you to save me! I don’t want you to save me! You tried to save me … yourself but … what will you make me do in the future … Adam Rouco … you are heartless! Your words don’t count.”

Estrella Berrocal’s shouts attracted many people around and everyone gathered.

An old woman said with a sympathetic look, “Yo, this girl is so pitiful, she died from her husband at a young age.”

“Girl, your husband is dead, believe it or not…”

Estrella Berrocal is lying down and does not let go.

Adán Rouco vaguely heard Estrella Berrocal’s voice and also heard the not inconsiderable commotion on this side and approached in his hospital gown.

“Move, please.”

The man’s large hand pushed through the crowd and saw the small woman prostrate next to the “corpse”.

She turned her back on him and cried tears of sadness.

Adán Rouco looked at the crowd of “spectators” and pressed his long fingers against his brow bone, slightly embarrassed.

The man came up behind her and without a word grabbed her from behind in an embrace.

Estrella Berrocal’s snow-white feet kicked: “Stop what! Don’t I have the right to say goodbye to my husband? Let me go! I forbid you to put his body in the morgue! Let go of me…”

Estrella Berrocal turned around and the word “yo” was caught in her throat.

The handsome face of Adán Rouco came to life in front of her.

“…”

Estrella Berrocal was a little confused for a moment.

Adam Rouco clasped her in his arms, his dark eyes looking down at her heavily, and said in a muffled voice, “Is it a shame to cry here when your husband is still alive?”

Her voice was light, but her eyes were warm, and under her eyes, a soft tenderness.

Estrella Berrocal looked at him dumbfounded for several seconds: “You …. are you really well?”.

“Would I have been able to pick you up so easily if something had happened to me?”

“…”

Estrella Berrocal looked at him dumbfounded as she cried a handful of snotty tears.

“I … I … I … thought he … he … he … ”

Estrella Berrocal pointed to the man covered by the white cloth and spoke with knots in her words, her little face turning red.

Embarrassed, speechless and confused …

Adán Rouco pushed her little face, wet with tears, against his chest: “Mrs. Rouco, don’t speak if you feel ashamed”.

Estrella Berrocal obediently buried herself in his arms.

Surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, Adán Rouco, with the person in his arms, said to the doctor and the nurse: “I’m sorry, my wife has made a mistake”.

Then, falling gracefully into the crowd.

Leaving behind a group of bewildered people.

People have speculated that the girl, who just had the wrong brain, right, was barefoot, crazy and crying, and the person she was crying to wasn’t even her husband!

What a rarity ….

Adán Rouco takes Estrella Berrocal back to his living room.

Only then did Estrella Berrocal dare to show her little face, looking a little worse for wear with her undried tear stains on her face.

“What, what is all this?”

Adán Rouco’s dark eyes looked at her with deep amusement, “Estrella, who did you just call a liar?”

He thought to himself that he was devoted to her, lovingly and faithfully.
