Chapter 340: Don't Leave Me
Thus a week passed, and Mariana finally woke up under Leopoldo's care.
It was nighttime and Mariana only felt that her eyelids were heavy. She tried to open them several
times, but to no avail.
Mariana, who finally opened her eyes, only unconsciously moved her fingers and woke up Leopoldo,
who was lying on the edge of the bed in a shallow sleep.
Leopoldo, who looked up abruptly, saw Mariana's open eyes, and for a moment that empty space he
had felt was finally filled.
Seeing him like this, Mariana was a little surprised, and just when she wanted to speak, she found
herself hugged tightly by Leopoldo.
Mariana, who was forced to endure his embrace, was still undeterred, but when she turned her head
sideways and saw his somewhat long hair, she could guess a few things.
She was so moved that she reached out and hugged him too.
His throat, which hadn't made a sound for some time, was dry. But Mariana was still frowning and
making a soothing sound.
-I'm fine," she said and reached out to pat him on the back.
The present Leopoldo was still in a lost mood and had not recovered until he heard Mariana's hoarse
voice, and only then did he really realize that Mariana had awakened.
As if he were a child, he gently deposited Mariana on the bed, then got up and poured her a glass of
water and tested the temperature before putting it to her lips.
Mariana quickly finished the glass of water in one small sip.
Leopoldo wanted to go back, but Mariana rejected him with a nod of her head.
At that moment, Leopoldo, who had regained his sanity, realized that he should have called a doctor for
this situation, and bowed.
-"Mariana, I'll go get a doctor, I'll be back soon," he said softly and dropped a gentle kiss on her
forehead.
Mariana's eyes widened, somewhat incredulous, and she watched Leopoldo run out of the room with
some impatience, until she could no longer see his figure. She then reached out with difficulty and
touched the spot where she had just been kissed.
She couldn't tell what she felt, except that it wasn't bothersome and it was a little hot.
At the thought, Mariana suddenly burst out laughing, feeling that she really had become especially
sentimental.
Shortly thereafter, Leopoldo brought the doctor on duty to examine Mariana.
Mariana saw a nervous-looking Leopoldo in bed through the crowd and couldn't help but feel full and
content in her heart.
Afterwards, the doctor told Leopoldo that Mariana was past the danger period, but that her body was
still weak and needed more care, and left.
Only when he learned that Mariana was not seriously injured did Leopoldo's heart, which had been
suspended in mid-air, drop.
In the living room, Leopoldo looked up and saw Mariana, who was also looking at him.
-Do you want some water?
Mariana shook her head.
"I just drank water, had you forgotten?"
Mariana couldn't help whispering this in her heart, but she still liked his concern.
Leopoldo came over and sat down next to the bed, then looked at her.
This was how Leopoldo had spent the last few weeks, watching Mariana every day, hoping she would
open her eyes, until today, he finally got his wish.
Looking at Mariana, Leopoldo said softly:
-Does it still hurt?
-Mariana could not vocalize now, but she did not want to see Leopoldo like this either, so she could
only move her lips.
Seeing her like this, Leopoldo's heart hardened again, he leaned down and embraced her, burying
himself in her arms and feeling her breathing.
-Don't leave me.
Hearing Leopoldo's murmur, Mariana's heart lost half a beat. She didn't know why Leopoldo was
saying such a thing, but she still reached out to put her hand on Leopoldo's head and whispered in
response.
-Good.
That was the sound she made to say, not knowing if it was in response to him or to herself.
Since Mariana had woken up, her state of health had gradually improved.
That day, Mariana wanted to improve her diet, so Leopoldo went out to buy her food.
Mariana was bored, so she had to turn on the television. Luckily, there was a TV in the living room,
otherwise, Mariana didn't know how bored she would be without Leopoldo's company.
As she walked into the commercial, Mariana turned on her side and poured herself a glass of water
when she heard a knock at the door.
When Mariana answered, she was pleased to see that the visitor was Ana.
In the past two days, she had only seen a doctor and a nurse or Leopoldo and his assistant, and she
had missed her circle of friends a bit, so naturally she was glad to see Ana this time.
When Ana heard that Mariana was ill, she immediately came to visit her. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing Mariana so energetic, Ana was somewhat relieved, but even so, she was still heartbroken.
-Mariana, you are worrying me so much! -she said and went over to complain.
It was clearly Mariana who was hurt, but now she looked like the victim.
-It's my fault. I'll be more careful from now on.
Not to let Ana worry, Mariana still answered her this.
When Ana saw Mariana, although she was dissatisfied, it broke her heart to see her like this and she
could only vent her frustration by giving her a blank stare.
Seeing her like this, Mariana smiled, feeling that it was really nice to have her by her side.
-Get well in the next two days. There's nothing going on at the office.
Before Mariana could say anything, Ana said it.
As expected, it was Ana who knew what she was thinking.
-It's a nuisance," Mariana said this.
The two talked some more, until Ana was called on the phone.
-Mariana, I'll see you next time! Have a good rest," Ana said, winking and seeing that Mariana
answered softly, before closing the door and leaving.
Shortly after Ana left, Leopoldo returned from buying dinner.
Seeing Mariana in a good mood, Leopoldo asked her:
-Are you that happy?
-Anita has just come to see me.
When Leopoldo learned that it was Ana and not Xavier, he was relieved and said no more. He
proceeded to untie the plastic bag for her and then placed the rice on the small table where Mariana
was on the bed.
Mariana, who had finally stopped drinking the porridge, saw the food on the table and her eyes lit up.
Mariana's lovely appearance was reflected in Leopoldo's eyes, who just thought it was really great that
Mariana could recover.
-Don't hurry, it's all yours," said Leopoldo.
Sunlight fell on Leopoldo's body through the window. Mariana couldn't help but get a little self-absorbed
at the sight of him in its glare, but she recovered quickly.
She just wanted to have a moment of warmth.
On this side, Noe, who had always adored Mariana, could not find any news of her and was very
anxious.
Unable to get through on the phone, she thought of Ana, her best friend, from whom she should be
able to get news about Mariana.
With that in mind, Noe went to the first floor of the company where Mariana and Ana were staying.
Without an appointment, he waited in the lobby until the end of the day, and only then did he see Ana's
figure.
-Anna! Do you know any news of the goddess?!
