Deep love: insatiable lover

-Who else can you be with?

Orlando’s expression suddenly changed, with a grim anger under his eyes. He seemed to have gone mad, his eyes instantly filled with blood and turned crimson as he glared fiercely at Vanessa questioningly.

-It’s none of your business.

Vanessa shook off Orlando’s hand and kept a safe distance away.

-Orlando, please get out of my office right now or I will call the police.

-Don’t even think of leaving it like that.

Orlando looked deeply at Vanessa and turned to leave.

When he left, Vanessa sat as if out of her mind, gripping the edge of her desk with both hands and panting sharply. She wasn’t really acting so calm, so carefree.

At least when he saw the image of Dylan and Brisa getting engaged, his heart emptied.

It was as if a hole had broken and the wind was still seeping through.

It was very cold.

Vanessa hugged herself tighter and her body shook hard. She sat down in the wide chair and suddenly felt an excruciating pain in her abdomen. A crushing pain in her lower back, as if something was churning in and out.

She frowned in pain, and a cold sweat continued to break out on her forehead. Her body almost sat up unsteadily and she fell off the chair.

-Director, what’s wrong?

Enrique looked at her with a worried face and asked urgently.

-Nothing, my stomach hurts a bit.

-I’ll call an ambulance.

-No, it’ll be fine in a moment, it’s fine for you to go first.

-But …

Everything hurt so much. His face was drained of blood and he looked like he was going to faint in the next second.

How could Enrique not worry, how could he not leave in spite of everything?

-It’s OK.

Vanessa stubbornly refused to let go, and Enrique had no choice but to give in.

-I’ll get you a glass of water.

Having said that, Enrique left and rushed inside with water.

-Thank you.

Vanessa smiled faintly and thanked Enrique.

-It’s nothing, you should drink water and rest. Make sure you call me if anything happens, I’ll take you to the hospital.

-All right.

Seeing that Vanessa had accepted, Enrique left.

After a little more time, when the pain in her belly was not so strong, Vanessa lifted the glass and took a small sip of water. The hot water went down and surprisingly her stomach felt better.

After another ten minutes or so, the pain in his stomach subsided completely.

-Phew, finally.

Vanessa let out a long sigh of relief, she felt she might have triggered the abdominal pain because her physiological period was a little late. More rest and rest would be good, it wasn’t a big deal and she left it alone.

For lunch Vanessa asked Enrique to order take-out, but it was Benjamin who brought it.

-Benjamin, what are you doing here? -asked Vanessa, looking at him with a subconscious smile.

-Mum asked me to bring you something to eat, saying that you are very thin and need to take care of yourself.

With the previous misunderstanding, Vanessa was already considered the daughter-in-law of her Tassis family in the eyes of Benjamin’s mother. Seeing how thin she was, she had thought to give her a tonic, and today Benjamin had brought his own soup.

-The lady is very kind to me.

-It’s nothing, my mother loves to cook and has a lot of free time. She’s even happy when you ask her to make you something to eat.

Benjamin smiled, opened the thermos and gave Vanessa a bowl of soup to drink.

-Try it, if you like it.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

-Thank you.

Vanessa took the bowl in both hands and took a careful sip, it tasted good.

-Very tasty.

-As good as it tastes, this, ah, is what my mother told you to drink. And she said you should drink it all. As her own son she was envious and jealous when I heard that.

-There’s too much for me, so you can drink it too.

-I’ll drink it when you’re done.

Benjamin knew Vanessa couldn’t finish it and was only joking. Besides, eating soup was no substitute for food, you had to save your stomach for dinner.

The mood was good when Benjamin was called out of the blue.

It was not known what the person on the other line said, but Benjamin’s face suddenly changed.

-I’m sorry Vanessa, I have to go to the hospital first.

-What’s wrong? -asked Vanessa worriedly as she stood up.

-It’s something bad for grandfather’s health and they are taking him to the hospital, I’m going there.

-I’m coming with you.

-No, you haven’t finished eating yet and there must be a lot of things to take care of this afternoon.

-They don’t matter, come on.

When Vanessa insisted on going with him, Benjamin couldn’t refuse and they left the office in a hurry.

The hospital was not far away, it took about half an hour to get there.

When they arrived, Benjamin’s grandfather was still in the emergency room, and outside were Benjamin’s parents.

-Mum and Dad.

-Sir, madam.

Benjamin and Vanessa quickly stepped forward to greet the two men.

Vanessa leaned out and reached forward to grab Benjamin’s mother’s arm.

-Ma’am, don’t worry too much, Grandpa will be fine.

-I hope so.

Benjamin’s mother’s eyes were still red, but she was smiling, and Vanessa was at her side, keeping her company.

After an hour or so, the emergency room lights finally went out.

The old man was wheeled out, fortunately with the common symptoms of old age, not serious, but requiring attention nonetheless.

Several people followed the nurse back into the room.

The old man soon woke up.

-Why are they all here? -The old man looked around and when he saw Vanessa, his eyes stopped and he smiled, “This is Benjamin’s girlfriend, isn’t it? What a pretty face.

-Grandfather.

Vanessa went forward to greet the old man.

-Good girl, quite a stable relationship with our Benjamin, isn’t it? When are you going to get married? I don’t know if I can wait for your wedding day with this boy.

The old man said with a regretful expression.

Vanessa hesitated, not knowing what to say.

I didn’t want to wait for the old man, but I couldn’t excite him.

-Gee, Grandpa, you shouldn’t worry about that.

Benjamin stepped forward at the right moment and changed the subject quite freely.

It was good that the old man did not pursue the matter.

They stayed in the room for a while, and when they saw that the old man was tired, they let him rest and went quietly away again.

Benjamin’s father had some business to attend to, so he left Vanessa Benjamin and Benjamin’s mother alone.

Benjamin’s mother had to stay behind to look after the old man.

-Vanessa, the question your grandfather just asked is actually the same question I wanted to ask. Look, you and Benjamin are in a stable relationship now and I think it’s best that you settle down soon. Your grandfather is getting old and I don’t know how much longer he can hold on. His biggest wish now is to have a grandchild as soon as possible, and since you’re in the right relationship, why don’t you settle things down?

When Benjamin’s mother suddenly said this, Vanessa didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
