Loredana got up and looked at him.
She couldn’t tell how she was feeling, it was all a mess.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Am I good-looking?”
Loredana carefully stared at him. Yes, he was handsome. His skin was fair, and his facial features were distinguished. His deep eyes and his occasional gentle smile could easily drown people.
But when he showed his stern and cold face, it was totally another story.
Loredana’s depressed mood was slightly soothed. She sat up, and Cormac passed the milk to her.
She took a sip, and said, “Armand… has he been like this?”
Was he indecisive when it’s related to his feelings?
Cormac thought for a while, then said, “No.”
Actually, Armand was a man who was clear about what he wanted. It’s just that he was affected by Phoebe.
Before this, he was hurt by Phoebe when she left. And when she suddenly appeared again, his heart was confused again.
Loredana pursed her lips as though she was thinking about something. Cormac reminded her, “Finish the milk.”
She didn’t finish the milk immediately, but instead, she took out her phone and set the alarm. She’s wanted to wake up earlier tomorrow to go to the hospital.
At night, Loredana slept in Cormac’s arms. Probably because she felt at ease when he was beside her, she quickly fell asleep.
She was woken up by the alarm clock.
She quickly woke up when she thought about Theresa who was still in the hospital. As she was about to get off the bed, Cormac grabbed her waist from behind. His sound was hoarse as he just woke up, Where are you going?”
“I’m going to the hospital. The doctor said that Theresa will probably wake up at 5 a.m. I need to go check up on her.” Actually, she was afraid that Theresa might get agitated when she saw Armand, therefore she needed to go earlier.
“It’s still early, accompany me for a little while more.” Cormac held her and pulled her into the blanket. Loredana pushed him, “Don’t make trouble. She’s already disfigured, so I’m scared that she might not be able to think it through, and there’s no one by her side too. Speaking of this, I need your favour for something.”
Loredana turned around, looked at him, and held his face.
“What benefit do I get from it?” Cormac asked first before Loredana could even mention her request.
Loredana frowned and said, “I’m serious.”
“Am I not being serious?”
Loredana was speechless.
She took the initiative and kissed his lips. Because it was morning, he had a fresh stubble on his chin. It was a little prickly, but it wasn’t painful. She lightly pecked on his lips and ended it quickly. Cormac frowned and half-narrowed his eyes as if he was unsatisfied with the kiss. He flipped over, and pressed Loredana against his chest. Loredana asked, “I need you to find me a good cosmetic surgeon.” Even though she hadn’t seen Theresa yet, but she knew how Theresa was like. Theresa wouldn’t want Armand to interfere with this. To be exact, she wouldn’t want to have any involvement with Armand right now, since now the only engagement that they had in common was gone.
Cormac lowered his eyes and looked at her hands that were still pressing against his chest, and spoke in a low voice, “Okay, you can release your hands now.”
Loredana’s heart was pounding. They didn’t turn on the lights, and the only orange light source in the room was the bedside lamp, rendering the atmosphere with some enticement.
She could feel his burning chest through her soft silky pyjamas, and her hands retreated involuntarily upon touching his warm chest. Cormac lowered his head and kissed her lips, and laughed in a muffled voice, “Why are you still so shy?”
Even though they had made out for quite some time, she would still get shy often.
When they were done, Cormac helped her put on her clothes and sent her to the hospital.
When she arrived at the hospital, it was already almost 6 a.m., and the sky had already brighten up. Since she got together with Cormac, she could hardly get the chance to wear low-collar clothes. Cormac always liked to leave marks all over her body.
Loredana wore a black windbreaker on the outside. Inside, she wore a dress with patterns of flowers, and a bowknot was tied obliquely on her collar to cover up the red marks on her neck.
She took her bag and got off the car, “You don’t have to wait for me. I’ll get a cab when I want to go back.”
Cormac answered her with a hum and said, “Call me if you need anything.”
Loredana agreed and watched Cormac as he drove off, then turned around and walked into the hospital.
When she arrived there, Armand was already there. He looked as if he never went back last night and wore the clothes from yesterday. “Did you stay here the whole night?” Loredana asked as she came in with her bag.
Armand lowered his head, “I went back.”
He went back and took care of his grandmother. The two people who took his grandmother down the boat didn’t want to get involved in this murder case lawsuit, therefore they sent Armand’s grandmother back to the hospital. His grandmother needed to have some good rest, so he brought her back home and let his maid took care of his grandmother, which was more convenient too.
Loredana asked, “Is she awake?”
Armand suddenly raised his head and looked at Loredana. His eyes were red as if it was soaked in red paint, and spoke in a hoarse voice, “She didn’t want to see me.”
Loredana knew that. It was what she had expected. So, Theresa had already woken up?
“Let me go and see her.” Loredana looked at the pain-stricken Armand and felt pity for him. She patted on his shoulder and said, “You are a man. Theresa should feel even more pain than you.”
She lost her unborn child and got disfigured. No one could have withstood this kind of huge blow.000000
“Rather than being depressed, why not think about how you can make up for it.” Loredana said this intentionally. She didn’t want to see him continue this way. There was no use regretting, things couldn’t be changed anymore.
In this world, if you missed something, you won’t be able to get the thing back, the only thing you have is just regret.
Armand raised his head, and looked at Loredana, “What should I do now?”
He was really messed up right now. He didn’t know what else he could do, and his mind was filled with images of Theresa’s injured face.
He couldn’t get rid of those images.
“You go back and clean yourself up first. I’ll take care of Theresa over here.” Loredana said.
Armand hesitated, “What if she wants to see me but I’m not around?”
“Do you think she would want to see you?” If her face hadn’t been destroyed, there was a possibility that she would want to see him. But it was impossible for Theresa to want to see him now.
If this had happened to herself, she would definitely not want to see Cormac.
She could understand how Theresa felt.
“You’re not paying for your mistakes this way. You are only torturing yourself. Do you think you can receive forgiveness this way?”
Armand clutched Loredana’ sleeves in panic, “What should I do then? How can I receive her forgiveness?”
“Forgiveness?” Loredana mocked him, “If it were you, what would you do?”
Armand was at a loss for words. If it was him, he would perhaps not be able to forgive either.
