Chapter 1071: My brother is dying
Micaela returned from the hospital to the doorstep of her home in Bayshore, looked at that door and suddenly had a jolt.
Last New Year’s Eve, around the same time, Nico was here, waiting for her to come home.
She also remembers the way Nico stood on the stairs and jumped up to keep warm, the way Nico caught her in his arms and forcibly overpowered her to be his girlfriend, and the way he kissed her.
Each scene is vividly remembered.
These images, which didn’t feel so etched in my mind before, are now lost in Micaela’s thoughts.
With a soft sigh, she pressed the combination to the lock and entered the house.
Nico… he’s not going back to her, is he?
This thought, as it flashed through her mind, stunned her for a moment, and then she laughed into the dark void, seemingly chuckling to herself.
Amazing that she would also want and stay for a prodigal son.
Micaela leaned against the door, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to take her mind off things she shouldn’t be thinking about.
There was a beeping sound on the phone.
It’s a Facebook message.
A long absence.
Dario Cepeda.
“Micaela, Merry Christmas.”
It’s early morning at home and almost dark in the United States.
What’s the point of sending her that blessing after all these years?
Micaela didn’t answer.
There, the other party was writing, for a long, long time, so long that Micaela thought there would be no more follow-up.
But Dario Cepeda kept saying, “I’m going back to my country.”
Micaela held up her phone and leaned against the door, unable to say what she felt for a moment when she saw the message.
When he left, he went to London to further his studies without greeting her or talking about it with her.
When he wants to come back, he keeps coming back like a bombshell, when he says he will.
But they broke up four years ago, so what’s the point of talking to her about it now?
Micaela didn’t return a word to Dario Cepeda after all.
After showering and lying in bed, she scrolled through her friends’ feed and saw a message from Savanna Amengual.
“I’m too miserable to party too, taking care of my brother, a sick man, on New Year’s Eve. ”
There is also a photograph of a thirty-nine degree thermometer.
Savanna Amengual also responded in unison to the comments, “No seh you get burned and don’t treat the wound, so you get a fever.”
Micaela’s gaze twitched.
Nico was injured because of her, and tonight he was more or less indifferent.
In his anger, he even hit her on her burned back with his heels.
Micaela doesn’t want to think about all that, so she doesn’t look at her phone and tries to get some sleep.
However, this night was not meant to be peaceful.
She was drifting off to sleep when Savanna Amengual made a series of hypnotic calls to her.
Micaela answered, “Hello, Savanna?”
On the phone, Savanna Amengual’s voice was urgent: “Miss Micaela, my brother has a fever of forty degrees and refuses to go to the hospital, if he keeps this up, his brain will surely burn out.
As soon as Savanna Amengual opened her mouth, Micaela found it hard to refuse.
Nico was hurt by her, and now he is responsible for the burns.
Without saying much, Micaela lifted the sheets and got out of bed, saying, “Wait for me a moment, I’m coming.”
“Then Miss Micaela hurry up, I feel that my brother is dying”.
“…”
Micaela took a cab and always encountered red lights on the way.
“Maestro, can you drive faster? I’m in a hurry.”
“Girl, I’m going almost a hundred meters, this is the city, you have to obey the traffic rules if there is any emergency.”
Micaela bit her lip, opened her phone again on Facebook and asked Savanna Amengual, “How is your brother now?”
Savanna Amengual, at home, cross-legged and eating her French fries, replied, “Not very well, he looks half dead, Miss Micaela, hurry up, if he doesn’t come, you will lose your happiness for the rest of your life.”
Micaela was not in the mood to joke with Savanna Amengual at that moment and got a little upset with Nico for acting so childish: “What does he do if he is sick and does not go to the hospital, where is his girlfriend Esma, why don’t you advise him to go to the hospital?”.
Savanna Amengual: “Miss Micaela, you are wrong, Miss Esma is not my brother’s girlfriend, they are brothers, they are both brothers, the little green one mixes with the tofu and it is all clear, my brother does not see Miss Esma as a woman and Miss Esma does not see my brother as a man.”
Micaela froze, had she misunderstood them?
But Esma was not the reason they were in the situation they were in.
Arriving at the Moon Lake villa, Micaela quickly entered the house.
Then she saw Nico lying on the couch already on the verge of unconsciousness, with an ice pack pressed to his forehead, lying on his back from the injury to his back, harmlessly and frail.
As for Savanna Amengual, as soon as she saw Micaela coming, she dropped the chips and clapped her hands, “Miss Micaela, let’s get my brother to the car!”.
Micaela reached over and reached out to touch Nico’s forehead, frowning as she asked, “Why didn’t you call an ambulance if you’re burning up like this?”
Savanna Amengual thought: what’s wrong with you if you call an ambulance.
“Oh … that … I didn’t think about it … and my brother didn’t burn like that now, when he was conscious, he refused to go to the hospital. ”
Micaela didn’t ask so much, “Give me a hand and take your brother to the hospital first.”
Micaela and Savanna Amengual each took a side and carried Nico to the car.
Micaela driving, Savanna Amengual accompanying Nico in the back seat.
When we arrived at the hospital, Micaela was quickly checked in and the nurse came over to put Nico on a needle and drip.
Micaela looked at the speed of the drip and adjusted it for him, slowing it down a bit so the back of his hand wasn’t oily.
It looked like Nico was going to be in the hospital for a few days.
Micaela said, “Savanna, you stay with your brother while I go get some boiling water.”
“Oh, right.”
Shortly after Micaela took the kettle to the boiling water room, Nico’s eyes widened.
The pain in his back made him grimace and want to burst.
Savanna Amengual is playing a game of League of Legends.
Nico scolded her, “Your brother is dying and you’re still playing, Savanna Amengual, you’re not human!”.
Savanna Amengual, hearing his full-blown curses, put her phone away and said, “Brother, I don’t think you’re going to die, anyway.”
Nico’s eyes were red with fever and his skin was cold and white, he looked haggard as he coughed. “Where’s Micaela?”
“I’m going to turn on the water for you.”
Nico rolled over and lay on his side on the hospital bed, damn that hurt.
When Micaela returned with the water bottle, Nico closed his eyes for a moment.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
