Chapter 15 Being Hospitalized (2/2)
Everything looked so wonderful.
As Julia slowly opened her eyes,
she found herself in the hospital. From the corner of her eye, she saw Consuela nervously grabbing the doctor's hand, her voice laced with anxiousness. ”Doctor, how is she now?”
”She's all right now. I think she's just under a lot of pressure. To top it all that, she also got wet in the rain, which was why she fainted. It also seems like she hasn't been eating as much. You should take care of her and make sure that she has her meals on time,” the doctor patiently explained.
”Okay, I understand.” Consuela nodded in response. When the doctor left, she saw that Julia had already woken up.
”You scared me! Why did you get wet in the rain? No matter how sad you were, you shouldn't have been neglecting your body like this.” Consuela scolded through gritted teeth.
”I'm fine.” Julia lightly chuckled, her face as pale as a ghost.
As she struggled to sit up, Consuela hurried over to help her. ”What are you doing? The doctor said that you need more rest.”
”But I...” She wanted to prepare the money as soon as possible.
”Even if the sky falls, you will be resting here,” Consuela angrily said. ”It's just a man! You lost him, but it's easy to find another. Why were you looking for death?”
”No, I...” Julia said helplessly.
”Stop lying!” Consuela's face darkened. She hadn't paid attention to Julia for a while. Now, Julia was confined in the hospital. Consuela flamed in anger. ”Look at yourself. Do you think that man will feel sorry for you when he sees you like this? I will tell you now to stop dreaming.”
Her voice got a little bit louder. ”He is probably holding another woman in his arms laughing at you. Julia, you can't go on like this. If you continue to be this way, you're not only going to hurt your friends, but also make your enemies happy. He's not worth it.”
”Don't worry. I won't.” A flash of determination appeared on Julia's face.
Although Consuela misunderstood her, she didn't want to explain anymore.
She didn't have anything to lose anymore, so there was nothing for her to be afraid of.
After Julia had stayed over at the hospital for a night, the doctor told her that she could finally go home. Consuela immediately went over to the reception to go through the discharge formalities.
Just as she was about to leave the hospital, Julia ran into Nelson.
He was one of Terence's childhood friends and also one of the few who knew about her relationship with Terence.
”Mrs. Chen.” With a big smile on his face, Nelson walked up to Julia.
With a sad smile,
she told Nelson, ”You shouldn't call me that anymore. Terence and I are divorced. Just call me Julia.”
Nelson shrugged and asked, ”Why are you here?”
Julia's face remained pale. With a shy smile, she explained, ”I caught a cold, so I stayed here for one night. I feel much better now.”
Consuela had already finished going through the discharge formalities. With a wave of her hand, Julia politely excused herself. ”I'm leaving now.”
