The Day He Matured

Because I wanted the nurse not to worry about me and leave, I obediently closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep.

After ten minutes, she also left the room.

When I was sure she had gone quite far, I crawled out of bed, clinging to the furniture and then clinging to the wall to get out of the room.

My leg was injured so I couldn’t move quickly, I struggled a lot, but I could only walk a short distance.

When I saw a girl asking the doctor where the emergency room was, I hurriedly listened and continued to move little by little.

“Miss Hellen, Miss Hellen…”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

I called out when I saw Hellen running after the white stretcher being pushed very quickly by two female nurses.

Intuition told me that the person lying on it was Brian. Fortunately, Hellen didn’t ignore me but stopped. I recognized the resentment in her blue eyes.

That’s right, no one is friendly with a rival.

“Miss. Hellen, how is Brian? He’ll be fine, right?” I approached her and asked.

“Do you think he can be okay? He will probably have to be in a vegetative state.”

After saying that, Hellen’s tears fell down. Looking at her swollen eyelids, I knew she had cried a lot before.

How can someone as vivacious as Brian be in a vegetative state?

The doctor just said it’s possible, right? Nothing is certain. He is still able to recover and fully healthy. Certainly so. I believe so.

“Where are you going?”

Hellen grabbed my arm and pulled me back as I was just about to walk.

She pulled so hard that I staggered, fortunately, she caught me in time, otherwise I would have fallen.

“I want to meet Brian, I…”

“Not allowed. He’s going to be moved to the intensive care unit, no one is allowed in.”

The pain radiating from my hand made me grit my teeth. Hellen’s long, sharp nails were digging into my skin, her whole body was shaking and the fire in her eyes hadn’t been extinguished.

Luckily for me, right now, there were a few doctors passing by, so she slowly let go of my hand. Traces like crescent moons imprinted red on my skin.

“I’ll help you get in, but before that, we need to talk.”

After a gentle sentence and a gentle smile for a few seconds, Hellen took me back to the hospital room.

The moment the door closed, she immediately looked at me with disdain, hate.

Why didn’t I know she had another face like this? Is she the person that Brian once loved so much?

“Bella, you are a comet. If Mrs. Alina hadn’t kept her promise to you, she wouldn’t have died tragically and Brian wouldn’t have been so badly injured.”

She said no wrong. I also feel like I’m the one bringing bad luck to Brian and his mother. The image of that car exploding will haunt me for the rest of my life.

I have no words to excuse myself in this situation. I don’t want to make excuses either.

I don’t care what other people think of me, I just want Brian to live.

“His mother… his mother…”

“Her body was burned black. Harold and Brian’s grandfather were on their way to the airport to come here. And they will take him to America for treatment.”

Although I don’t want to appear weak in front of Hellen, I can’t hold back my sobs and tears when I think of Mrs. Alina.

My beautiful mistress, whom I had wished to become her daughter-in-law, passed away with her body not intact.

If only I had been stronger and smarter, I would have saved her. The last person to talk to her was me, the last person to touch her while she was still breathing was me.

God, I feel like a sinner, the source of this tragedy. She shouldn’t have fulfilled her promise to me, she should have forgotten about it.

“Mrs. Alina said that after taking you to travel, she will give you some money as capital so that you can have a more stable life. Now she is no longer alive, but because that is her wish, I will do it on her behalf.”

When Hellen finished speaking, she took out a thick envelope from her bag, laid it on the bed, next to me, and asked me to leave Brian forever, never to appear in front of him as Mrs. Alina wanted.

I looked at the envelope and then at the girl with her arms crossed in front of me. I don’t want to receive this money because the salary I took first is already a huge number.

I won’t break my promise to her, won’t turn myself into a rock blocking Brian’s way, but now he’s in a critical condition so I can’t bear to leave. I’ll go when I’m sure he’s safe and well.

“You should go before he wakes up. This is the only thing you can do for him.”

Perhaps Hellen noticed my hesitation, so she spoke first. And then, in a low, sad voice, she revealed to me a secret that even in a dream I could not have thought of.

The man I fell in love with and that rich family had absolutely no blood relation. Brian is an orphan who was secretly adopted by Mrs. Alina and her husband.

Brian’s nominal father was infertile and because he wanted to cover it up, he created a perfect drama when he let his wife pretend to be pregnant, on the day she gave birth, he brought home a baby boy who was not related to him.

All because he loved his wife too much, afraid that when he suddenly died without having children, she would no longer have a place in the family.

“Brian’s grandfather discovered this fact when his son was hospitalized and needed a blood transfusion. The test results showed two different blood types. After that, he decided to do a DNA test.”

I sat motionless. Now I understand Brian’s statement. He said he wanted to build a real family with me.

Hana Corporation is not his real family. Mrs. Alina is not his biological mother. No wonder when he was in pain, and tired, I could see through his fleeting expressions but she couldn’t.

However, it’s just that she doesn’t pay attention to the trivial things, she loves him very much.

The moment she stood on the edge of life and death, she told me to save him, regardless of her life.

“Bella, Brian is not the grandson of the president of Hana Corporation, and if he goes against his grandfather’s will, he will have nothing left. The will can be changed at any time. Harold doesn’t like Brian, if Brian makes the president’s anger reach the climax, he will take this opportunity to push this brother who does not have the same bloodline out of Hana Group. A person who was on the top of glory was suddenly lowered, and became an employee, struggling to make a living. Do you want to see him turn into that pathetic form?” Hellen approached me, sat down next to me, and continued to speak.

Of course, I don’t want that. I always want good things to come to Brian. I would love to see his elegant and classy look every morning when he puts on a branded suit.

I like to watch him when he is focused on approving documents. I like to see his successful image in the interview articles at the end of each year.

I don’t want him to be like me, thinking when he wants to buy a high-value item. I don’t want him to have to humble himself, to submit to arrogant people.

“I’ll go. But… I want to see him one last time, just once. Please let me see him one last time.”

In the end, I had to beg Hellen because I knew that if she didn’t want to, I wouldn’t be able to meet Brian. I want to be by his side, touch him, and pray for his speedy recovery.

“I said from the beginning that I would arrange for you to meet him, so of course I will carry out my word. I hope you keep your promise too.”

“Then… can I visit Mrs. Alina’s funeral…”

“Don’t ask for anything more, Bella, even if you visit the funeral, it won’t make the atmosphere less painful. Please leave immediately after meeting Brian.”

As soon as Hellen finished speaking, she also stood up and walked out of the hospital room.

My tears fell again. I couldn’t do anything but cry. So weak, so helpless.

That’s right, I should leave Brian, leaving him with the bright aura of the heir to half of the Hana corporation.

He needs to obey his grandfather to stay in that position because, except for his grandfather’s love, he can’t cling to anything. Their relationship is that of two strangers.

For several hours, I sat like a statue, staring into space. I looked so long that I could see alternating circles and transparent chopsticks floating in front of me, like the pictures showing bacteria under a microscope in the books I studied.

“Bella, come with me.”

Hellen’s call caused my floating soul fragment to return immediately. I didn’t even hear the door open or the supermodel’s footsteps.

Perhaps she saw that I struggled to walk, so she approached and reached out her beautiful hand to help me leave the hospital room.

I really want to go fast, even run, but I can’t. After a long time, we arrived at the door of the ICU room.

“Time is limited, you have to hurry.”

“I know.”

My heart almost stopped when the hand reached out to push the door. And when the image of Brian entered my eyes, sadness and pain invaded my every cell.

He lay motionless, surrounded by pipes and machines. His whole body was bandaged, a white color like mourning.

I thought he only had a head injury, but I didn’t expect it to be multiple injuries.

“Brian, I’m here to visit you. Brian…”
