Chapter 145 A shoulder to cry on
After agonizing twenty minutes, Liliana arrived at the P city hospital.
She had fixed herself a bit and seemed to be calm.
She directly ignored the reporters that had crowded the hospital. As she was flanked by a team of two dozen bodyguards, no one could get near her.
Henry, Doctor Cox, and Jennifer were waiting by the entrance along with a few other staff of the hospital.
As soon as they arrived, they escorted the two elderly gentlemen to a stretcher and wheeled them inside.
Liliana immediately went to the VVIP ward and found Jonathan sitting on a mobile bed attached with various drips and monitors waiting right outside the elevator.
She gulped as she looked at him and wheeled him to a vacant room.
As soon as she had closed the door, she hugged him tight from one side still making sure not to hurt him.
She did not say anything, but just held him and closed her eyes.
Jonathan felt choked as he saw her like that. He caressed her arm but did not know what to say.
After a while, he felt tears on his shoulders. Her tears felt very hot and they left a scorching feeling in his heart.
He immediately pulled her towards himself and kissed her hard. That was the only thing he could think of doing.
The kiss was passionate and fuelled with many emotions – Love, Anger, Relief, Apology, Promise, and so much more.
He kissed her hard sucking on her tongue ruthlessly and only let go when they were both out of breath.
His wounds hurt with the overexertion, and he gasped.
“Does it hurt?” Liliana asked when she saw him gasp and hold the side of his stomach.
“It’s alright. I am sorry. I should have protected you,” He apologized.
Jonathan had been feeling like a failure the entire time he waited for her.
“No. Don’t say that. I would have had those enemies with or without you. I am glad I have you, I have someone to rely on, a shoulder to cry on when I feel wronged. I love you, Jonathan, so much.”
Liliana said emotionally as she hugged his arm.
“I love you too, honey. I love you so much. If I could, I would take away all the sadness and worries from you,” He confessed.
They sat there like that clinging onto each other for a while.
Finally, Liliana asked, “How do you feel? Did you talk to Li?”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“It hurts a bit but otherwise I am fine. I am not supposed to eat or drink anything, so the parched throat is killing me,” Jonathan pecked her and added, “Li woke up for a while but fell asleep again due to medication. Doctor Brown said all signs are good.”
Jonathan caressed her as she heaved a sigh of relief, and added, “Jo and Kyle were so sensible, it breaks my heart.”
“I know. They have always been like that. But it’s good. I would rather they be sensible than be spoiled brats,” She sighed.
“Let’s take you back to the HDU. You need rest. We will talk about what to do next by tomorrow,” She said as she got up and started to wheel him out.
“Alright. Talk to Vincent, I have briefed him on a few tasks,” He agreed. Jonathan knew that he needed to rest and recuperate well. Only then he could ease her worries and help her with other tasks.
Liliana stopped by Li’s bed as soon as she arrived in the HDU. She caressed her son and kissed his head as she read the vitals on the monitors. She could not understand much, but based on her limited knowledge, everything seemed normal.
Nathaniel stirred awake as if he had felt someone’s presence.
“Shh! Go back to sleep, my little baby. Mommy loves you so much. I will bring your siblings to see you tomorrow. Sleep easy now.”
Liliana mumbled a little and her son went back to sleep.
Jonathan felt he had slept soundly after she talked to him.
She then helped Jonathan to the bed and called a nurse to help hook the monitors correctly.
She pecked his lips and told him to go to sleep as well.
Then she made her way to their room and woke Mariana up. Mariana had fallen asleep while crying on the chair by the bed.
Liliana gently woke her up and hugged her before she ushered her out. Mariana went to see her father and called her mother to the hospital.
Liliana took a quick shower and snugged along with her two kids.
Their family had a peaceful sleep while Vivian’s nightmares had just begun.
