FULL NOVELXO Chapter 82 No Speaking, No Eating, No Drinking.
Adelaide's hands gradually warmed. It was night until she woke up. Antonio leaned his head on his palm with his elbows against the bed. At this time, he had already been so sleepy. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes before looking at Adelaide.
"Adelaide, are you awake?"
Antonio was overjoyed. But Adelaide just opened her big clear eyes. She did not answer his words.
Antonio was stunned. He asked again after a while, but Adelaide still didn't speak.
He leaned forward and finally found that although Adelaide was awake, her eyes were hollow and dull. Antonio stretched out his hand and waved his hands in front of her eyes, but Adelaide even didn't blink. Suddenly, he felt creepy. He hurriedly called the nurse on duty over, but the person lying on the bed still remained silent.
"Why doesn't she speak? Didn't you say that she is fine?"
Adelaide woke up, but she couldn't speak or smile. Antonio tried every means, but it couldn't make her face show any expressions.
The nurse felt guilty with her head down. Dr. Chang had specifically told her that the patient in bed No. 35 might be mad or just be like this after waking up. The patient had suffered an extreme trauma. So what she was like now was the sequelae. Unless the patient's psychological illness was cured, she couldn't return what she was like before. But seeing Antonio's current looks, the nurse felt scared. She didn't know what would happen if she told the truth to him.
After thinking about it for a long time, the nurse still didn't tell him the truth, but tactfully told him that he had to find a psychologist. Then she hurried away.
Antonio turned to look at Adelaide. She was still staring at the ceiling. Antonio was not sure whether Adelaide could hear him now. So he held her hands again. "Adelaide, can you hear me?" he asked.
After a long time, there was still no answer. Antonio lay beside Adelaide, hugged her tightly, and buried his head on her shoulders. Soon a low sobbing sound came out.
The woman's eyes were still looking at the same place. His cry did not attract Adelaide's attention. Only the big wall clock in the ward made a ticking sound, accompanied by cries.
Antonio didn't know how long had passed. Finally, he stopped sobbing. It could be said that the nurses in the hospital witnessed life and death every day. When a new life came, they could hear countless laughter. When a person died, they could hear countless crying. The nurse sighed. These were unavoidable. The nurse picked up the earphones and put them in her ears. Instantly, she couldn't hear outside sounds.
Antonio didn't sleep all night. He knew that Adelaide didn't sleep either. He pretended that nothing had happened and forced a smile, "Adelaide, morning. Let's get up!"
Adelaide was in a trance for a moment. She opened her mouth slightly, blinked her eyes, and then returned to her indifferent expression. Antonio looked away, not letting his tears fall. He took a deep breath and turned his head again, "Adelaide, I'll help you wash your face first! Then we go home later!"
Adelaide still did not respond. At this moment, her cell phone rang. Antonio quickly answered the phone.
"Hey, Adelaide, where are you!?"
It was the call from Hanna, Adelaide's best friend. Antonio almost cried out again. Immediately, he patted his face. His voice sounded slightly tired, "This is Antonio. She... she is in the hospital. Can you find a reliable psychologist to come here?"
Adelaide had an unshirkable responsibility for causing things like this. Oscar was the person who directly hurt Adelaide. Now, Antonio dared not to let others get close to her.
"What? What's wrong with Adelaide? Where is her? Let her answer the phone." After hearing Antonio's words, Hanna asked several questions in row. There were some other sounds on the phone. It should be that Hanna was packing up something to go out.
Antonio glanced at the person on the bed. Her gaze was dull. She didn't react at all, "She's fine. Remember to find a reliable psychologist."
He knew that many psychologists would use the secrets of patients to swindle money or do other things, which was also a very common method in the business field. After many bosses' business got big, their pressure would increase. Then they would go to the psychologist. They would tell a lot of secrets to the psychologist. Some lawbreakers would take the opportunity to defraud money.
Many patients needed a long-term treatment. Besides, under hypnosis, the patients would not know what psychologist did to them. This was what Antonio was most worried about. After all, the more stuff he had experienced, the more things he would fear.
Hanna just said okay and then hung up the phone in a hurry.
Just after Antonio hung up the phone, he got the call from Alvin, who was reprimanding him that he didn't care about his Grandma and just left his Grandma alone at Justice Bureau. Alvin said that he had paid the tax and taken Hermosa back.
Antonio blamed himself. How could he forget it? Adelaide was not well. He took care of her with all his heart. So he forgot to let Oscar to pick up his Grandma.
Alvin told Antonio that Hermosa looked not very well and asked whether Antonio wanted to talk to Hermosa. Antonio pursed his lips. Hermosa must have been questioned too long by those officers. She would definitely not feel better. Tell her about Adelaide's miscarriage? Hermosa was old now. Antonio was afraid that she would not be able to bear it. He gritted his teeth and said to Alvin, "Let Grandma take a good rest. I will visit her in two days."
Alvin naturally knew what had happened to Antonio. A smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth. After all, Hermosa was old. Under being questioned again and again by officers at Justice Bureau, she was already depressed. She had no choice, so called Alvin in desperation.
Antonio's words made Hermosa disappointed. She tried her all best to help her grandson. Even several times, she went to jail for her grandson. But her beloved grandson did not remember that his grandmother was still suffering. What made her ache even more was that her grandson was reluctant to talk to her. He said he would go to see her after a few days!
Hermosa was so angry that she fainted on the spot. Naturally, Antonio didn't know what happened and his Grandma's thoughts.
Hanna rushed to find a psychologist. Although the psychologist was a man, he had many related qualification certificates from abroad. He was also well-known among his peers, so his charges were naturally more expensive.
When they came to the ward, Hanna pounced herself on Adelaide. She hugged Adelaide tightly, tears falling down on Adelaide's shoulders, "Adelaide, Adelaide, what's wrong with you?" Adelaide was like when Antonio spoke to her. Although she opened her eyes, she still did not say a word.
Hanna said a lot of things in succession. Not only didn't she hear Adelaide's answer, but also she didn't feel Adelaide moving. Hanna finally found something was wrong. Getting up, Hanna looked back at Antonio stiffly, "What happened to Adelaide?"
Antonio looked away. He seemed to be filled with remorse and furious. His hands clenched into fists.☐☐☐☐☐
