Chapter 380 Cleo, if you don’t want me, I’ll have no one else
After all the wasted words to persuade Dr. Cleo, to absolutely no avail, Cleo still insisted on doing something on her own.
The next morning, Larissa woke up and had just put away the folding bed when she heard noisy voices outside.
“Ugh, you let us in, let us in!”
“Our hospital has rules that don’t allow reporters to enter for interviews!”
A bunch of reporters, seeing Larissa walk out, crowding towards Larissa, “Larissa! Larissa, we heard that you have divorced Nathanael Lora, is this true?”
“Larissa, we have received information from people in the know that you chose to divorce Nathanael Lora and marry Mr. Cleo because you wanted to repay Mr. Cleo who saved your life. May we ask if this information is indeed true?”
“Ms. Larissa, we have also received this notice, may I ask why you chose to marry only Mr. Cleo when there are hundreds of ways to repay you for saving your life? Please give us an answer,”
“Ms. Larissa, please answer …”
With so many reporters and flashing lights, Larissa couldn’t open her eyes.
She was still a bit unresponsive. How did the reporters know about these things? She had come to the hospital to take care of Cleo for so many days, and no reporter had approached her.
Generally, within their industry, those who could be on the hot search and pick up the gossip were those who were very hot in the industry and who had recently had their works publicized. Her recent return to China, being in this hospital, being quiet for so many days, and the fact that she had no works to publicize, could only mean that someone deliberately broke the news.
Larissa looked to the caretaker beside her, “Please, call security.”
“Okay.” The caretaker nodded in response and squeezed out.
Larissa looked at the numerous reporters in front of her, “This is a hospital, you will affect the patient’s rest, please …”
Without waiting for Larissa to finish her words, one of the reporters, suddenly screamed, “Look, what’s lying in that ward, is it Mr. Cleo?”
“Let’s go in!”
“Go in!”
Larissa blocked in front of them, “If you have any questions, I’ll answer them, don’t disturb the patient’s rest.”
One of the nurses in the room, came out to help Larissa stop them together, and closed the door of Cleo’s hospital room with her hand. Looking at this, the reporters also knew that they couldn’t interview Cleo, so they all besieged Larissa again, “Excuse me, Ms. Larissa, is the one inside the room the Mr. Cleo who saved your life?”
“Yes!” Larissa first cooperated and answered one, then said, “You guys don’t disturb the patient’s rest anymore, this is a hospital, if you guys have any questions, I can make time, find a suitable place, and then accept your interview.”
The reporter simply refused to leave, “Ms. Larissa, please answer those questions we just asked, just these few questions, it won’t take much of your time. The more you are like this, the more you refuse to cooperate with our interview, the longer we will be here, and I believe that you, Ms. Larissa, are also unwilling to do so.”
When this reporter said this, the other reporters became even more uncooperative and refused to leave.
“Yes, I also hope that you, Ms. Larissa, will answer our questions quickly.” Another reporter chimed in.
At this moment, Cecelia and a bunch of hospital security guards rushed over, and she shouted, “Hurry up and kick them all out! Get them all out!”
“The hospital is a place for patients to rest, not a place where reporters can come in and interview!”
Seven or eight security guards rushed over before taking a dozen or so reporters out.
When the reporters were gone, Cecelia looked at Larissa, “Sister Larissa, these reporters, why did they suddenly come here?”
“By the looks of it, it’s the people in the hospital, who sold the news to the reporters.” Larissa furrowed her good-looking brows.
Cecelia had more anger on her face, “It’s really speechless, they want to make money from everything, how much can they sell you a message to the reporters? Doctors and nurses are supposed to protect the privacy of patients, really no professional ethics at all!”
“According to the current price in the circle, it should be one hundred thousand.” Larissa returned to her.
“Shit! That much!”
Cecelia was shocked and momentarily said an expletive, only reacting after a while that she had said an expletive.
A star’s gossip news is one hundred thousand dollars, no wonder there are so many paparazzi that make a career out of digging up star gossip every day.
Seeing Larissa enter the door of the hospital room, Cecelia took a step to follow her in.
“Brother, are you alright.” Cecelia looked at Cleo who was lying on the hospital bed.
Cleo wrinkles her brow with worry, “Larissa, were you okay just now? I saw them pulling you and pushing you against the door frame.”
“It’s fine.” Larissa’s back was a little sore, I think it rubbed the skin a little.
Cecelia hears Cleo say this and gets so angry she has to roll up her sleeves and turn around to get at the reporters, “What? They even did it? It’s really too detestable. I should have scolded them just now. What I hate most in my life are these reporters.”
“Other than news instant reporters, all of them, these reporters, should not be called reporters, they should all be called matter pussies. All day long, when they have nothing to do, they like to pick apart other people’s affairs and find things to do there.”
“Cecelia, go get the doctor to order some bruise ointment and help Larissa with the medicine.” Cleo was still uneasy about Larissa.
Cecelia nodded her head in agreement, “Okay, I’m on my way.”
After a pause, she added, “I almost forgot, I’m here to deliver the food. This chicken soup was made by mom, and these buns and fried dumplings I bought outside, you guys eat your meals first, I’m going to the doctor’s to get the medicine, I’ll be back in a while.”
Cecelia put down the lunchbox in her hand before turning around and heading out of the hospital room.
Larissa opened the lunchbox, served it and handed it to Cleo, “Here, be careful it’s hot.”
“Larissa, what are you going to do?” Cleo looked at her with a grave expression, “Is a press conference needed? With the way things are today, they were chased away by security, but they don’t look like they’ll just let it go that easily.”
“Hm. It’s better to have a press conference. With them like this, they’re going to come to the hospital and disturb your rest as well.”
Cleo looked at Larissa is drinking hot, face shows bashful, there is no matter look, he looked at her this appearance is more and more worried, a few times under the hesitation, and then opened his mouth and said, “Or, first give me a transfer to the hospital formalities. You don’t have to worry about reporters looking for me. You first give your company a call, inquire, see what good solution they have. Try to minimize the impact of this matter and not affect your career.”
“I’m already planning on leaving the scene.” Larissa put down the bowl of soup she was holding and looked up at him.
“If I leave the circle, I won’t have to worry about anything. I was thinking about it a while ago, leaving the circle. After all, this circle is quite tiring and stressful. I have enough money, and I’m not too young for a lot of theater, and at my age, I’m restricted.”
“I’m kinda fond of filming, so if there’s an opportunity in the future, I wouldn’t mind, going for a cameo.”
Larissa saw Cleo’s face showing sadness, she smiled, “You don’t have to worry about me, in fact, in this business of acting, at my age, if I don’t leave this circle by myself, I will gradually be forgotten by the audience due to the lack of dramas to receive.”
Cleo listened to her say so much, and only then was somewhat relieved.
After a long time, Cleo thought of something else, “If you need it, I can also accompany you to face the reporters and speak clearly to them.”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“You shouldn’t have said those things yesterday. If, you didn’t say those false words because you were comforting me, you wouldn’t have said those false words, and there wouldn’t be all these things today.”
“It wasn’t a lie, I meant it.” Larissa rebutted him offhandedly, her gaze overflowing with seriousness as she looked at him.
With this serious look on her face, he could tell that she really meant it, and his heart burned with it.
He was in such a state that he didn’t even dare to hope for her anymore. He once did not lose a leg, when he was an outstanding doctor, she did not want to marry him, and now she wants to marry him.
He knew that she was because of something. Cleo had a slight lump in her throat, “Larissa, you don’t have to give up your whole life because of my leg.”
“No Cleo, I don’t call that giving up my life.” Larissa crouched down in front of him, flattened herself against him, and spoke softly.
“I’ve been thinking a lot about this time, too. There are a thousand ways to live, and there’s more to life than just love, and not everyone who gets married, does so because they love each other. Or, there are people, who get married, and have no feelings between them, but over time, there is always a love that grows over time.”
“I’m sure I’ll have feelings for you, and I’m sure you’ll be good to me, and the two of us will live happier than most people. The two of us together, living an uneventful life, where we don’t lack for money, open a small store of our choice, and don’t worry about work or money.”
“You love me and respect me so much that you would give up even your life for me. I’ll be happy if I marry you, right?”
Cleo met her eyes and watched the smile that pulled at her face, but his heart was crushed hard as he spoke with difficulty, “And, what about Nathanael Lora?”
Nathanael Lora loved her too, and he knew that she would be happier married to Nathanael Lora than she would be married to him.
Nathanael Lora was capable of giving her happiness, and more importantly, she loved Nathanael Lora.
Larissa was dumbfounded for half a second before she opened her mouth, “He, he’s getting married soon too. I’ve met the other person, and they’re quite a match for him.”
“Why? How could he agree to marry someone else?” Cleo asked in surprise.
After all, Larissa and Nathanael Lora have been together for many years, although Nathanael Lora’s heart wasn’t in Larissa’s body in the past, but then his attitude towards Larissa changed a lot, moreover, his heart wasn’t in Larissa’s body, and he didn’t even say that he would marry someone else, and now that his heart is in Larissa’s body, how could he marry How could he marry someone else now that his heart is in Larissa?
Larissa didn’t answer him, she just said, “So, Cleo, if you don’t want me, I’ll have no one and will be alone for the rest of my life.”
Nathanael Lora marries, Cleo doesn’t marry her, then she’ll be single for the rest of her life, living alone.
