This startled me and I quickly pulled Vera aside, whispering to her, “One of the other doctors I know, who is also highly skilled, told me my legs can never be cured. Your friend hasn’t even done an examination yet and he says he can treat me. Can this really be trusted?%
Vero waved her hand dismissively and said confidently, “Don’t worry, the doctor who told you it couldn’t be cured is just not skilled enough. My friend is really amazing. If you don’t believe it, you can try it and see for yourself. It won’t cost you anything “2
I thought she made a good point, so with the mindset of giving it a try, I agreed.
Jack said that to cure my legs, it would take three treatment cycles, one week per cycle and he suggested I stay in the hospital
I agreed and that evening, I completed the admission procedures.
In the middle of everything. Vero seemed to remember something. She leaned in closer and asked curiously, “You mentioned yesterday that you had a big gift for Elowen, What is it? Can you tell me now? I really want to know“>
“Wait until my first treatment is over and you’ll know,” I said with a smile.
Seven days later, Elowen would receive the big gift I had prepared for him.X
Seeing I still wasn’t willing to tell her, Vero, with a huff, turned around to continue making my bed.
Elowen had stayed in Maya’s hospital room all night. Maya, who had only pretended to be injured to frame me, of course didn’t stay obediently in bed. When she saw that Elowen had fallen asleep on the sofa, she quietly got out of bed and slipped into his arms
In his sleep, Elowen instinctively thought it was me, as I was the one who liked to slip into his arms when he was asleep. So, he mistook Maya for me and kissed her forehead gently. “Baby, don’t make trouble…7
Maya smiled in satisfaction and as she lifted her head to kiss his lips, she heard him say “Callista…“%
Maya instantly froze and in a fit of anger, she pushed herself away from Elowen’s embrace.%
Elowen was suddenly jolted awake. Seeing that the woman in his arms was Maya, he paused for a moment, then quickly realized and said with concern, “Maya, why aren’t you lying in bed resting properly after being hurt? Why did you come down?%
Maya instinctively wanted to yell at him. But she stopped herself and instead pretended to be understanding, saying, “Elowen, you just called Callista’s name in your dream, do you miss her? It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have made you stay with me. You should go back to your wife, I can handle it on my own.”
As she spoke, her eyes reddened, looking like a wounded little rabbit that made one unable to help but feel sorry for her
Elowen was filled with pity. He pulled her into his arms and gently comforted her, saying. I’ve always told you, the person I love the most is you. I married Callista just to better control her, I don’t want to be with her, I want to be with you.”
