Chapter 280 Guilt feelings
Serena did not bother with their stares, she waited in front of the emergency room door, she had to wait there until she got the news that Alice was okay, only then would she leave.
The cell phone she was holding vibrated. Serena picked it up and looked. She saw that the screen was covered in blood, and also the call seemed to be made from Clare.
Serena wiped the blood off the screen with her clothes. But the clothes were so dirty with blood that she ended up soiling the screen even more. Finally she just answered
“Hello?”
As she spoke, Serena’s voice trembled.
“Miss Gallo, was it you who wrote to Mr. Giordano?” Chiara asked her to confirm.
“It was me.” Serena nodded and took a deep breath, trying to calm her voice, “Have you arrived?”
There was silence for a moment, and then a cool, steady male voice changed.
“We are on our way, first tell us what happened.”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Serena wanted to answer her, but when the air reached her lips, she could not say a word.
She could not so lightly tell Matthew that Alice had tried to commit suicide, and she still struggled to believe that the situation was real.
Thinking about this, he closed his eyes and said, “When you get there you will find out, I promise you. I will be waiting for you at the emergency room door.”
With that, before the other side of the phone could answer, Serena hung up.
The fact that she had hung up angered Matteo.
On the sidelines, Chiara looked at him suspiciously, “Mr. Giordano?”
After being called out, Matteo came to his senses and looked toward her, “Speed up to the hospital.”
Chiara nodded and said to the driver, “Carlo, hurry up.”
“Sure!”
Both of them did not have a good expression, because Serena had not said anything about Alice’s situation, she had simply told him that something had happened to her sister and that she had to go to the hospital right away.
Her voice was shaking so badly, if it was nothing serious, why would she react like that?
Maybe… Chiara only dared to think it inside her.
Time passed, and Serena felt like she had been waiting there for years. She looked down the hallway again and again without seeing Matteo. She was very worried.
At that moment, she felt she had to call Alice’s relatives. She had lost so much blood, she feared for the worst.
She lowered her eyes, Serena felt so upset, if only she had done it faster, why had she walked so slowly in the hotel?
As she thought, she heard the sound of some footsteps accompanied by the sound of high heels. Serena raised her head and looked down the hall and saw two familiar faces.
Matteo and Chiara.
Matteo had a calm look, Serena did not understand why. At that moment, she seemed to see her relatives. Her eyes were almost swollen from all the tears she was holding back. Serena quickly bit her lower lip and turned her head to avoid Matteo’s gaze.
She thought she was being really rude.
That was Alice’s older brother, but why did Serena see him as her older brother? If Alice had known, he would have teased her.
“What’s going on?”
As she was thinking, Matthew’s voice echoed behind her back, and she felt someone touch her shoulder, when she turned around she saw Matthew.
She had the feeling that he was her close relative; this gave her a feeling of security.
Serena bit her lower lip without saying a word as she could not stop crying.
Seeing her cry so hard and seeing her covered in blood, Matthew felt his own heart pounding, and he had the feeling that something sharp was stabbing him.
Seeing Serena like that, Chiara realized that she would not be able to speak, so she looked at Peter beside her, “Please tell us if you know what happened.”
Peter actually was not clear on the matter, but he could only explain what had happened that day, so he simply explained the events of that morning. Clare and Matthew listened to what Peter said.
Matteo frowned, “The person who is inside now is Alice?”
Serena nodded, “Sorry, if I had found her earlier, I could have…”
Matteo interrupted her, “Wait and see how it goes first. Chiara, take care of her.”
Chiara immediately went to help Serena: “Miss Gallo, I will take care of her, Mr. Giordano will stay here, don’t worry.”
“Okay.”
After Matteo arrived, Serena felt much safer, so she nodded and left with Chiara.
Chiara took her to a nearby hotel to clean her up, and then went to a nearby store to buy a dress in Serena’s size and then returned to the hotel. Serena changed as soon as she took a bath.
There was so much blood on her. It took her a long time to wash it off. When she came out, she changed into the clothes Chiara brought. Serena said anxiously, “Let’s go back to the hospital.”
“Don’t worry, Miss Gallo, I just contacted Mr. Giordano, now Miss Giordano is still in emergency care, now she couldn’t go in anyway, she should wait outside. I think she is very shaken up now, she can stay here and rest, when Miss Giordano wakes up, I will come and get her.”
“No!” Serena rejected that proposal, “I want to see for myself if Alice is okay, she lost a lot of blood earlier.”
Chiara looked at her. Serena’s face was still very pale. It had not improved at all. On the contrary, she looked even worse. Moreover, her voice was still trembling. You could see that she was worried about Alice. If Matteo had not come, she would still be waiting outside the emergency room door with bloody clothes.
“Ms. Gallo, I understand how you feel, but you’re not in good condition, you’re not fit-”
“Are you worried that I will faint and you will have to take care of me if that happens? Don’t worry, I won’t faint for Alice, I’ll be fine.” With that said, Serena stepped forward and took Chiara’s hand, “Let’s go.”
Chiara still hesitated, but Serena’s eyes were full of determination.
It was really hard to refuse.
“Chiara!”
Serena saw that she was unresponsive, so she called out to her. Chiara had a helpless expression and finally said, “There’s no holding you back. Let’s go.”
“Thank you!” Serena cried with joy, and then left the hotel with Chiara.
When they arrived at the hospital, they saw Matteo standing at the emergency room door. He was hunched against the wall, one hand in his pocket, his eyes downcast, and they could not tell what he was thinking.
