Chapter 224
Marco then furrowed his brow as he felt some movement beside him. He opened his eyes wide, gazing at Letta, who seemed restless in her sleep, cold sweat dampening the side of her face. This prompted Marco to sit up, reach out his hand, and gently stroke Letta's face. Seconds later, Marco could feel how high his wife's body temperature was, so he began to gently tap Letta's face.
"Darling, wake up. Are you in pain?" Marco asked. However, Letta remained steadfast in keeping her eyes closed. Letta seemed drawn into a nightmare that she had been experiencing for the past few days since the incident at the hospital. After being examined by the doctor, it turned out that Letta was experiencing excessive anxiety, perhaps due to the fear she had acquired from the unknown woman who suddenly wanted to harm her. Since then, Marco had also been forced to separate Letta and Freya. Currently, Freya was with Helena, as Marco couldn't let Freya continue to stay in their residence while Letta was in her current condition.
Marco then pressed the phone on the bedside, calling Desi to immediately summon the doctor. He also turned on the main light when he saw Letta in real pain and cradled Letta in his arms.
"Darling, wake up, the doctor will come soon. So, hold on," Marco said again. Finally, Letta slowly opened her eyes.
"It hurts so much," Letta said weakly, making Marco nod his head.
"Stay calm, I will take care of you soon. Your condition will improve after the doctor examines you," Marco said again. Seconds later, Letta gripped her head tightly as she felt it throb intensely. Marco could only rub her face roughly, not knowing what to do to alleviate his wife's pain. Marco even cursed several times when the doctor did not come to his residence, even though he should have known that this was not the time for the doctor to come quickly. Since it was 2 am, of course, the doctor needed preparation to come to their residence. About 30 minutes later, the doctor finally arrived, seeing how Letta groaned in pain.
"Let me examine your wife first," the doctor said, making Marco nod. The doctor began to observe Letta's consciousness, the focus of her eyes, and her body temperature.
"I will give her a sedative and a painkiller. After that, we need to talk," the doctor said, making Marco nod his head.
"Do whatever it takes to get Letta back to a healthy condition," Marco said. A few minutes later, Letta seemed to be calm in her sleep after the doctor administered one injection and medication.
"What actually happened to my wife?" Marco asked. Previously, Marco had already recounted the incident that had happened to her at the hospital, and afterward, the doctor could conclude something that he had to tell Marco at the moment.
"It seems we need to stop the medication that I previously prescribed for you," the doctor said, making Marco furrow his brow.
"Why, why does it need to be stopped?" Marco asked again.
"It seems that the effect is very contrary to your wife's current condition. As much as we try to suppress her memories, those memories will slowly begin to resurface, and the effect of the medication is causing your wife's current state. She will feel excruciating pain if she continues to take the medication. So it's better to let her memories slowly come back," the doctor said, leaving Marco speechless. Of course, this was not a trivial matter that Marco could decide on easily. On the one hand, Marco didn't want Letta to remember everything, but on the other hand, he didn't want Letta to experience pain if she continued to be given the medication.
"Is there any way we can suppress those memories?" Marco asked, making the doctor shake his head.
"There's nothing we can do, as in the end, we will hurt your wife just like now if we keep suppressing it. It seems that since The incident at the hospital, that was the starting point for her memories to start coming back. Could it be that your wife knows that woman who suddenly attacked her?" the doctor asked, making Marco shake his head, as he didn't really know how the incident started. Marco only listened to the explanations from the people around and the nurses who handled her.
"I don't know," Marco said, rubbing his face roughly.
"And it seems that the encounter with the man you mentioned also triggered your wife to remember all the memories that were gradually fading. So we can't suppress it Any longer. I suggest that maybe it would be better for you to tell her the truth about what she has forgotten before she finds out on her own. Perhaps that's something you don't want to happen," the doctor suggested, leaving Marco silent.
"For now, I can't make any decisions, but if there is any way to suppress her memories without causing her pain like this, please let me know. I will pay whatever it takes," Marco said, seeming to have lost control and feeling anxious. However, the doctor remained silent, looking into Marco's frightened eyes.
"I will try something later," the doctor said, giving the only sentence he could provide to calm Marco.
"However, for now, stop giving her that medication, or else your wife's condition Will worsen," the doctor said, making Marco nod. Marco then instructed Desi to escort the doctor back outside, while he himself began to approach Letta. He reached out his hand and gently caressed his wife's face. Her skin felt cold and pale. Letta had been in this condition for almost 4 days, even though the doctor had initially recommended stopping the medication. However, Marco still wanted to try it, and the result was like this. Letta was truly in excruciating pain.
Then, what should he do when the memories slowly started to come back? Was the idea the doctor gave to reveal everything the best idea? Marco pondered. It was a memory that was too long and too bitter To be revealed to Letta. Marco didn't want to make his wife suffer any further. Marco then released his hand, which was tightly gripping Letta's hand, and kissed her.
"Please, I beg you, focus on our life right now. Never think about anything in the past. Didn't you say that it's enough to have me by your side? You can forget anything in this world, so I beg you, return to how you were before, don't think about anything," Marco said while continuing to hold his wife's hand, which felt very cold. Marco never imagined that this incident would be so fatal. Marco also couldn't predict that Letta would meet people she might have met before, and one mystery that Marco had to solve immediately was about the female patient who suddenly attacked Letta. Perhaps that was also something Letta had exeerienced.
Marco then reached for his phone. He didn't know what time it was, and he didn't care. He immediately contacted Pedro to find out about the patients at the hospital. Marco had to make sure of something after the disturbance from Abian. Marco didn't want to be disturbed again by the presence of someone else in their lives that had disrupted their peace. Marco was confident that Pedro would handle it well. After that, the next step Marco needed to take was to take action. Marco hoped that Letta would recover soon and forget everything. He didn't want to force himself. Because Marco truly couldn't bear to see Letta in pain, but he also didn't want to take a risk that would shatter and hurt him.
