Chapter 232
Meny
After saying that, Mariela didn’t care about Efrain’s reaction on the other side. She decisively hung up the phone and put it on silent mode.
Lennon was awakened by the commotion, and in the bed, the man tightened his grip on Mariela’s hand, his voice low and magnetic, “Stay with me a little longer.”
Mariela nuzzled against Lennon’s chest, like an affectionate little cat.
The two of them squeezed into the same warm blanket, embracing each other as they slept.
It seemed as if the world was only left with the two of them.
No matter how strong the wind and snow were outside, it had nothing to do with them.
When Efrain called, Jaime was already awake.
This phone call was made by Efrain himself, Efrain knew what Jaime was thinking.
Jaime held a flicker of unrealistic hope in his heart, and he really wanted to know if Mariela would worry about him if she knew he had almost died. Would she come to see him?
So, he made the phone call with anticipation.
He asked Efrain to turn on the speakerphone.
However, when Mariela heard that he almost died, instead of saying a word of concern, she even said such heartless words.
Jaime clenched his fists tightly, with the veins on the back of his hands bulging, his face pale as paper, and his lips devoid of color.
Efrain put away his phone, swallowed his saliva, thinking that Jaime was going to get angry, and didn’t dare to breathe.
However, Jaime did not go crazy and get angry as usual.
After a moment of silence, he simply said, “Go out, let me be alone for a while.”
Efrain had just walked out of the ward when he came face to face with Juliette. Efrain was surprised I to see that Juliette had actually come to Lombardy.
Juliette was full of worry, “How was Jay?”
Efrain sighed and shook his head in resignation, “He was not good.”
What happened to him? How did he end up in the hospital while he was on a good trip?
Efrain said, “Last night was so cold, and it was snowing. It was around minus five or six degrees. He was walking alone on the road wearing only
a thin shirt. Eventually, he collapsed in the snow, and it was a passerby who took him to the hospital.”
Juliette frowned, “Why was he like that?”
Efrain wanted to speak but hesitated.
Although Jaime didn’t say anything, he probably could guess that it was all for Mariela.
The place where he fainted last night was in Bormio, and Mariela and her boyfriend were also there.
How could he say this?
This was a headache.
During the time when Juliette had just returned to her country, Jaime and Mariela had not broken up yet.
Jaime spent all his time with Juliette, disregarding Mariela’s feelings. Now, the tables have turned, and it’s time for him to face the
consequences.
