“Rather than being depressed, why not think about how you can make up for it.” Dolores said this
intentionally. She didn’t want to see him continue this way. There was no use regretting, things couldn’t
be changed anymore.
In this world, if you missed something, you won’t be able to get the thing back, the only thing you have
is just regret.
Armand raised his head, and looked at Dolores, “What should I do now?”
He was really messed up right now. He didn’t know what else he could do, and his mind was filled with
images of Theresa’s injured face.
He couldn’t get rid of those images.
“You go back and clean yourself up first. I’ll take care of Theresa over here.” Dolores said.
Armand hesitated, “What if she wants to see me but I’m not around?”
“Do you think she would want to see you?” If her face hadn’t been destroyed, there was a possibility
that she would want to see him. But it was impossible for Theresa to want to see him now.
If this had happened to herself, she would definitely not want to see Matthew.
She could understand how Theresa felt.
“You’re not paying for your mistakes this way. You are only torturing yourself. Do you think you can
receive forgiveness this way?”
Armand clutched Dolores’ sleeves in panic, “What should I do then? How can I receive her
forgiveness?”
“Forgiveness?” Dolores mocked him, “If it were you, what would you do?”
Armand was at a loss for words. If it was him, he would perhaps not be able to forgive either.
Dolores didn’t continue to provoke him. Instead, she said, “Go back first, I will try to advise Theresa.”
Armand knew about the close relationship between Dolores and Theresa. If Dolores was willing to
speak on behalf of him, this meant that there was still hope. He said from the bottom of his heart,
“Thank you, Dolores.”
Dolores ignored him. This was because she was biased towards Theresa. If Theresa didn’t choose to
forgive him, she would also not help him out.
Once she managed to get Armand to leave, Dolores walked over to the nurse counter to enquire about
Theresa’s situation.
The nurse first went to ask for Theresa’s opinion on whether she would like to see visitors.
Due to the patient’s disfigured face, she would be easily triggered by outsiders. Hence, she had to first
ask for the permission of the patient.
If she was willing to see patients, then they would continue to make arrangements.
Dolores waited patiently. The nurse came out very quickly, “You may go in, but don’t stay too long with
her. Try not to exceed ten minutes, her body is weak now.”
Dolores nodded and said, “I understand.”
The nurse brought Dolores to a changing room, and passed her an anti-bacteria gown, “You’ll have to
wear this before entering the Intensive Care Unit.”
The nurse explained.
Dolores took the gown from her.
Many people who wore it for the first time didn’t know how to put it on. The nurse helped her with it.
Very quickly, with the help of the nurse, Dolores put on the anti-bacteria gown.
Dolores was wrapped very tightly. The purpose of wearing that was to make sure that she didn’t bring
any bacteria into the ward.
“Follow me.” The nurse said.
Dolores followed the nurse into the ward. Apart from the beeping sounds coming from the medical
equipment, there was literally no other sounds. The atmosphere felt cold and mechanical.
“Don’t speak for too long.” After bringing her into the ward, the nurse reminded her once again before
leaving.
Dolores stood in front of the door. Her footsteps were a little hesitant, and her heart felt a little restless.
This was because she didn’t know how to console Theresa.
If this had happened to her, she was afraid that she would also be sad to her core.
“Lola, why aren’t you coming over.” Theresa’s voice was weak and frail. She couldn’t see Dolores
standing outside, but the nurse had come to ask her before this. Apart from Armand, it was only
Dolores who would come to see her.
Dolores took a deep breath, and walked in. She smiled and tried to put on a relaxed face, “You’re
awake?”
Theresa gave a light ‘yes’.
Dolores wanted to hold her hand, but both her hands were filled with tubes, and she didn’t know how
to.
“I want to leave this place.” Theresa spoke her mind.
She had lost her child, and her heart was also dead.
She wanted to leave this place that made her very sad.
She understood perfectly well the situation right now, and she could only rely on Dolores.
“But your condition now…” Dolores was extremely willing to help her.
But with Theresa’s health condition right now, she was afraid that Theresa wouldn’t be able to leave.
Theresa’s attitude was very firm, “I can’t recuperate in peace over here.”
As long as she was here, Armand would definitely come over, and she really didn’t want to see this
person.
She wanted to leave, stayed away from everything over here.
“Lola, please help me, there is no one else I can go to.” Theresa was a little emotional, she wanted to
reach out to touch Dolores, but Dolores quickly pressed her arm down, and said, “I promise you, but
you have to give me some time to arrange these matters.”
Theresa nodded her head, “Thank you…”
“Silly, what’s there to thank between us.” Dolores felt herself welling up. She was wrapped tight in the
costume, and only her eyes could be seen.
Theresa had pretended to be very calm, but Dolores could feel her sadness.
The only thing that she could do is to satisfy Theresa’s request. As for Armand, she would have to
hand it over to time.
If fate allowed, and Armand really loved her, there’ll be an opportunity for them to reunite.
If not, this would only mean that they were not meant for each other.
There was always a passer-by in every person’s life.
What matters was whether this passer-by left a deep mark in our lives.
Theresa knew that she couldn’t rush these matters. However, she was firm on leaving, “I wish to leave
as soon as possible.”
“Give me three days.” If she had to bring Theresa away, Dolores had to first arrange for a place for
Theresa’s treatment. She also had to make some arrangements here at the hospital.
All this required time.
Theresa replied, “Alright.”
She could accept waiting for three days to know where she was heading to. She also had to let Dolores
arrange things for her. She was already very grateful for this.
Dolores had previously only gotten Matthew to search for a cosmetic surgeon for Theresa. Now she
would have to get him to arrange for a hospital. The hospital would have to work on cosmetic surgery
for Theresa, as well as allow her a place to rest.
“The doctor said your body is very weak now, and that you can’t talk too much. Have a good rest, I will
go arrange things for you. With me over here, you don’t have to worry. I know you don’t want Armand
to know right? I won’t tell him, so you recuperate properly first. Once I have arranged everything, I will
come and pick you up.”
Theresa agreed softly.
“Things will get better.” Dolores comforted her.
At this moment, the nurse came in to remind Dolores that her time is up. Dolores reassured her, “I will
try my best to arrange everything as soon as possible. Promise me, during this period, don’t overthink,
take care of your body, and wait for me to come pick you up.”
“Alright.”
Dolores left the ward, took off the anti-bacteria costume and walked out of the hospital. She stood
outside the hospital to hail a cab, so as to head to Matthew’s company to arrange Theresa’s matter.
She still had to rely on Matthew because her connections were limited.
There were many people at the hospital, there were also a lot of cabs. Very quickly, she managed to
hail a cab. She pulled open the door and sat inside.
“Where to?” The cab driver asked.
Just when Dolores was about to answer, her phone rang in her bag. She picked up her phone, and on
it displayed Victoria’s name. She said to the driver, “To WY Group.” Finishing her words, she pressed
on the answer button.
“Are you free now?” Victoria’s voice passed through.
Dolores said, “Yes, what’s the matter?”
“I am waiting for you at Ro Dessert House.” Victoria didn’t mention what the matter was. Finishing her
words, she hung up her phone.
Dolores stared at her phone, thinking in her heart that Victoria wouldn’t be looking for her if she didn’t
have something important. So, she said to the driver, “We’re not going to WY Group anymore, let’s go
to RO Dessert House.”
“lam waiting for you at Ro Dessert House.” Victoria didn’t mention what the matter was. Finishing her
words, she hung up her phone.
