Deep love: insatiable lover

Dylan’s face was full of exhaustion, but he was clinging to sleep, and Vanessa knew he probably wanted to take care of himself.

The expression on Dylan’s face clearly stated the obvious, but his mouth said something about Vanessa going back to rest.

-Go back and rest, you’re pregnant, rest.

Vanessa had long since collected her emotions, so much was instantly clear to her. She looked at Dylan and surprisingly felt she was doing well to keep her own sanity.

-Dylan, what are you doing here? Why weren’t you surprised to see me pregnant? Did you already know…? I had someone who arranged it around me, didn’t I? Did you know that as soon as I left Pacifica City and they’ve been secretly sending people to keep an eye on me? Let’s see… Josephine is one of yours, isn’t she?Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Vanessa’s tone was completely confident at the end of her sentence.

He had even guessed quite accurately that Josephine had also been groomed by Dylan.

Dylan did not deny it.

-I have said before that I love you and that I would never let you go. I was still married to Brisa at the time, and both the Leoz family and the Moya family had things to take care of on their side, so I rallied to let you go. I didn’t think I would… leave our baby.

Dylan’s eyes turned dark, as if there were many hidden emotions in them.

Vanessa looked down at her bulging belly, not wanting Dylan to think she was keeping the baby for himself.

-My mother is getting older and is looking forward to having a grandchild. This baby arrived just in time to be left behind.

He spoke with deliberate indifference.

Dylan knew why, of course, and he knew the internal struggle that the arrival of this child had provoked in Vanessa.

I couldn’t thank her enough for her softness of heart, for keeping this child.

Otherwise, although it would have been painful for him, it would not have prevented his decision.

-Thank you anyway.

Knowing that Vanessa had said this on purpose, Dylan did not contradict her words.

-As you can see, I had a good time. Now that the Moya family is also settled, the Leoz side of the family is in a civil conflict and should not have time to deal with a little person like me. None of the things you fear will happen, so please withdraw all your people.

Vanessa said calmly, clearly wanting to draw a line in the sand with Dylan.

-The Moya family is established, but the Leoz family is not.

Vincent did not have time now.

Dylan was sure that once Vicente had solved the problems within the Leoz family, he would turn to him. When that happens, Vanessa’s safety will still not be guaranteed.

-As long as you stay away from me, how could Vincent come after me, a pet you abandoned?

Vanessa said with a self-deprecating smile.

Dylan couldn’t help but feel heartbroken every time he heard her put herself down like that, chastened by her own exploitation and selfishness in the first place.

-It is too late. Vicente’s people have been here a long time, they must already know about today’s events.

Now that Vanessa was the one person Dylan would change his life for, and was even pregnant with Dylan’s child, how could the conniving old fox miss the chance to catch Dylan in a moment of weakness?

Dylan had once read a saying that when you have someone you care about you have a weak spot and armour.

For him, the armour is his own strength, so the only weakness is now Vanessa.

For her, Dylan would give his life.

-I can take mum and get out of here.

-You know I’ll find you wherever you go, and so will Vicente. So the safest place is with me, Vanessa, and you can only stay with me.

Dylan was saying too much, he was in a bad mood, his voice was becoming weak and flimsy, yet he was still hanging in there.

I didn’t want to miss this opportunity to catch Vanessa, even if it was a despicable use of her sympathy!

-You rest first.

Vanessa didn’t want to argue with Dylan about anything, she really needed to rest.

This was Vanessa’s concession.

Dylan knew this well, so he immediately closed his eyes and rested. He would only lose Vanessa sooner if he gave her an inch, and he would only last long if he stopped.

One day he would make Vanessa put her past hurts behind her and accept him again.

It was probably the combination of exertion and injury that had sapped Dylan of so much energy and strength that he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Vanessa, being pregnant, could not be with him at the hospital all the time.

But fortunately there were plenty of Dylan’s men outside.

-I’ll be back, you guys fix it, take care of Dylan.

-I’ll see you back.

Four more men remained outside, the others still guarding and protecting around the inn.

It was getting late and it would be inconvenient for Vanessa to return alone, and she knew that these men had to get her back safely, so she didn’t object.

Two men stayed behind to look after Dylan, while the other two took Vanessa back to the inn.

Mercedes and Josefina were up, sitting in the lobby of the inn, anxiously waiting for Vanessa.

Seeing the bright light in the doorway, Mercedes rushed to her feet.

-Aunty, don’t worry, I’ll go and see, I’m a fast runner.

said Josefina, quickly turning around and running towards the door.

Seeing that it was indeed Vanessa, Josefina immediately smiled.

-Vanessa, you’re back at last, my aunt and I were worried about you. How were the tests? Are you and the baby well?

Seeing the genuine concern on Josephine’s face, Vanessa knew that, even if she really was someone Dylan had groomed, his concern for her was genuine. Deceiving herself was only because she was Dylan’s person.

So he did not take it out on Josefina.

-I’m fine, it’s been tough.

-It’s OK.

Josefina said with a smile, following Vanessa.

-I’m sorry mum, for making you worry.

-It’s good that you’re OK,” Mercedes said repeatedly as she shook his hand. When she lowered her head, she thought of Dylan, who was injured, and asked:

-Where is Dylan? How is he hurt? Is it serious?

-The operation went well and the bullet has been removed. Afterwards, as long as he recovers, he’ll be fine, you don’t have to worry.

-In any case, he was wounded to save you. Tomorrow morning, I’ll make him some soup and send it to him.

Whatever the past ties between Dylan and Vanessa, at least this time he was to be thanked.

Mercedes had always been clear about that, and she didn’t want to be indebted to Dylan for it.

-No, I’ll make the soup tomorrow.

-You’re still pregnant, don’t work too hard.

Mercedes said with a frown.

At his insistence, Vanessa said no more. She planned to get up tomorrow and make the soup herself while Mercedes was busy with other things.

-Mum, it’s late, you should go back to bed.

-All right, you’ll go to bed early too,” said Mercedes and looked at Josefina gratefully: “Josefina, you’ve worked hard today.

-Aunty, you’re welcome, that’s all I have to do.

-Let’s get some rest, you go to bed early too.
