Deep love: insatiable lover

The old man was delighted to hear that his future granddaughter-in-law was going to cook food for him.

-Tell Vanessa that I like everything she does.

Vanessa curved her lips in amusement as she could hear the old man’s voice in mid-sentence through Benjamin’s phone. She liked the Tassis family because they were all friendly and approachable.

-I know.

He hung up the phone and took special care to seek advice from the family on suitable dishes for the elderly and, with the guidance of the chef, prepared a nutritious and suitable meal for the patient and took it to the hospital.

He did not forget Benjamin, who was in hospital.

When Vanessa got out of the car with two thermoses, she saw Benjamin standing in front of the hospital.

-Grandfather urged me to hurry down half an hour ago, saying he was afraid you wouldn’t be able to carry too much on your own.

Benjamin stepped forward and smiled, naturally taking the two thermoses in his hand:

-Come upstairs, grandfather has been waiting.

-There was some traffic on the road, so I made grandfather wait,” said Vanessa, a little embarrassed, and Benjamin took care of reassuring her and talking to her for a while about the old man’s health. Soon the two of them arrived in the living room and the old man was happy to see Vanessa.

-Delicious, very delicious.

The old man praised her as he ate the food that Vanessa had lovingly prepared.

Benjamin ate differently from him, but it tasted just as good to him. Thanks to the old man, Benjamin was able to eat Vanessa’s food and was very satisfied.

Vanessa felt embarrassed by his compliments.

After dinner and a brief stay at the hospital with the old man, Benjamin’s mother arrived. As soon as she arrived, she rushed the two young men to do what they had to do.

-You didn’t come by car, did you? I’ll take you to the office.

-Then I’ll bother you.

-What are you talking about? You cooked for grandpa. Grandpa has eaten more than usual today, his appetite seems good and he’s in a good mood. So yes, to keep grandpa in a good mood, you, the future granddaughter-in-law, should come and visit him in hospital more often,” said Benjamin jokingly.

The words “future granddaughter-in-law” were uttered with such ease and recklessness, seemingly unintentionally.

Although a little embarrassed, Vanessa gently agreed:

-I will.

Benjamin was now in a better mood.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

He felt that he was getting into Vanessa’s heart and that the time was not far off when the two hearts would be close to each other.

After leaving Vanessa at the office, Benjamin left.

Vanessa went to the hospital over the next two days to see her grandfather, and was relieved to see that he was looking much better. Such a kind and loving grandfather should have enjoyed his life for a few more years.

But things are unpredictable.

The conference room of the Cazalla Group.

Vanessa always carried the aura of her deceased father unconsciously in her body during meetings, something she had precipitated over the years. The woman had long been familiar with the management of the company.

The pace of the whole meeting was firmly controlled by her.

In the middle of the discussion, Vanessa didn’t know what was wrong, but suddenly she had a bad feeling.

He frowned and his hand unconsciously clutched his coffee cup.

At that moment, there was a knock on the conference room door.

-Enter.

Vanessa spoke, and the assistant secretary at the door came in quickly, holding her phone.

-Director, your phone is still ringing.

When she saw Benjamin’s number, Vanessa’s heart soared. Without worrying about the other people in the conference room, she got up, picked up her phone and walked out.

-Benjamin, what is it?

-Vanessa, do you have a moment now? Could I trouble you to come to the hospital? Grandpa’s condition has suddenly deteriorated and is now so serious that the doctors have to hurry to save him, but Grandpa refuses to come in and insists that you come. But Grandpa refuses to come in and insists that you come. May I disturb him?

-I’m on my way.

Vanessa agreed without a word, returned to the conference room, gave Enrique a few words of explanation and hurried to the hospital.

He panicked the whole way, and finally arrived at the hospital half an hour later.

-Benjamin, how is Grandpa?

-He’s waiting for you,” Benjamin said apologetically, guessing that Vanessa must have been busy first. But something like that had happened and he had to call her.

-I’m going to talk to him.

Vanessa pursed her lips and rushed forward anxiously.

-Vanessa…

The old man was in a critical condition, he seemed to be struggling to breathe, but he was still stubbornly waiting for Vanessa, who seemed to others to be the most important person to the old man.

-Grandfather.

Vanessa rushed over and grabbed the old man’s hand tightly.

-Vanessa, Grandpa is going to be revived. This time I don’t know if I’ll make it out alive, so grandpa has an unpleasant request.

The old man’s voice was low and he spoke slowly, as if he would be unable to speak at any moment.

As Benjamin was next to the two of them, he also heard it.

-Tell me, grandfather.

Vanessa was worried about the old man’s health and just wanted it to end quickly and for the doctor to take him in a wheelchair to resuscitate him. At times like this, time was equal to life.

Grandpa’s greatest wish was to have a great-grandchild soon, and now it looks like that may be hard to achieve. So Vanessa, please fulfil grandpa’s last wish, okay? May Grandpa be happy to see my Benjamin marry you, okay?

The old man’s withered hand gripped Vanessa’s tightly.

It was the greatest wish of an old man in critical condition, and how could Vanessa not say yes.

-Grandfather, I…

-Grandfather, how can you say such things at a time like this? Well, go in with the doctor. Don’t worry about me, your own health is the most important thing.

Vanessa was about to say yes when Benjamin interrupted her before she could.

He did want to be with Vanessa, but he didn’t want to force her in this way.

-Vanessa.

The old man didn’t care what Benjamin thought, he felt the two of them felt for each other anyway, and so marriage between the two of them was only a matter of time.

At the expectation in the old man’s eyes, Vanessa could only nod.

-I promise you, grandfather, I promise you.

-Thank you, good girl.

The old man smiled gratefully and shook Vanessa’s hand firmly: “I’m so relieved you can say that.

-Well,” Vanessa smiled, “So hurry up and get in with the doctor and then try to get out safely. You have yet to see me married to Benjamin.
