My Sweet Wife

Chapter 371 Could it be that Nathanael was less important to her than Cleo?



“What are you talking about Larissa you are married to Nathanael, of course you are one of us The Lora family.” It took a moment for Nathanael’s mother to respond, mumbling the words, and then realizing that what Larissa said was true.

She looked at Nathanael Lora with a questioning gaze.

Nathanael Lora was a few steps away from Larissa, still holding up Old Lora, and after a long moment, he withdrew his gaze, “Mom, let’s go back.”

Upon returning to The Lora family, Old Lora and Nathanael’s mother realized that Nathanael Lora wasn’t right.

Nathanael’s father made it a point to keep Nathanael Lora busy with a lot of work at the company in order to help distract him.

Nathanael Lora is nothing but busy working all day long. Only at night when he sleeps, he is idle. When he sleeps at night, he is always tossing and turning without water.

All he could think about was what Larissa had said that day, “They’re rushing The Lora family people, I’m not.”

She’d outright disowned him in order to stay and take care of Cleo.

In any other situation, his usual style would have been to make sure he made it clear to her and swore his sovereignty in a forceful way. But this time he didn’t, because he knew that she was guilty of Cleo, and unless Cleo recovered, it was impossible for her to dissipate her guilt, much less return to him voluntarily.

A few days later, Nathanael Lora fell ill.

Nathanael’s mother took the phone and called Larissa, “Hello, Larissa.”

Through the phone, Larissa could hear the stiffness in Nathanael’s mother’s voice, as if Nathanael’s mother wouldn’t have called her if it wasn’t necessary. She frowned worriedly, “Auntie, what can I do for you?”

“Nathanael, Nathanael he is sick.” Nathanael’s mother on the other end of the phone, her heart aches to hold back her tears at the thought of her son in this state.

Hearing that Nathanael Lora was sick, Larissa was even more worried in her heart, and she anxiously asked, “How could he be sick? What kind of illness is it? Is it serious? Has the person been taken to the hospital now?”

Her series of questions were so urgent.

Hearing in her voice that Nathanael’s mother was still concerned about Nathanael Lora, she spoke, “High fever. He’s got a high fever and your name is on his lips, Larissa come back and check on Nathanael.”

Luckily, it was just a high fever.

Larissa’s heart that she had just lifted fell back and just admonished Nathanael’s mother, “Auntie, then you take good care of Nathanael Lora, he loves sour asparagus when he’s sick.”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Aren’t you coming to see Nathanael?”

“I don’t have time. Auntie, I have things to do, so I’ll hang up now.” Larissa hung up in a hurry.

She was still taking care of Cleo on her end, and Cleo had just gone into the bathroom to use the restroom, so she just had time to take the call. She was now taking care of Cleo in the hospital almost twenty-four hours a day, eating, sleeping, all in the hospital. The hospital room was big enough and vip enough to sleep in.

Cleo’s parents can’t take off work all the time, they have to go back to work. After hearing last time that Larissa had cleared the air with their The Lora family and was now taking good care of Cleo, Cleo’s parents were very relieved to have Larissa.

In order to let Cleo spend more time alone with Larissa, Cecelia has also reduced the number of trips to the hospital, and will occasionally buy some food and send it over.

On this side of the phone, Nathanael’s mother, who was hung up on by Larissa, was furious, “How can there be no time! How can this child be so cruel?”

The old man on the side, seeing Nathanael’s mother like this, a huffy look also appeared on his face, “Larissa didn’t come to see Nathanael?”

“… Well.” Nathanael’s mother hangs her head and walks over.

Old Lora takes the teacup in her hand, places it on the table, and ‘BOOM!’ A loud bang echoed through the empty stalled living room.

“What the hell is going on here? It’s all been done and the wedding situation has been reported online. Even if they don’t have a license, they’re still husband and wife, and who here doesn’t know that Larissa is Nathanael’s wife? What’s the deal with taking care of people in the hospital all day?!”

After Old Lora came back from the hospital, she also arranged for someone to investigate, and now it was all clear between Cleo and Larissa.

Even why Larissa was killed and who framed her, this old man had it all figured out.

Now what makes him most angry is knowing the relationship between Cleo and Larissa, Cleo’s feelings for Larissa, this Larissa is again in the hospital to take care of Cleo, and even his grandson is ignored.

“That family is also really irritating, morally kidnapping Larissa!”

Nathanael’s mother asked the maid to change the cup of tea from for Old Lora, sighing and echoing, “Who’s to say it isn’t. Just pity Nathanael.”

“It’s Larissa’s fault, too, for not being able to handle it. Cleo’s like this now, and she’s neither a doctor nor a nurse. Then Nathanael also arranged a doctor for Cleo at the hospital, and a professional nurse, and she still has to stay with Cleo at the hospital.”

“Nathanael was sick with fever and asked her to come back for a visit and she didn’t even come back. Is Nathanael not as important to her as Cleo?”

On the side, Nathanael’s mother listened to Old Lora say this, and again there was a sigh of relief, “This Nathanael is all burnt out, she doesn’t get better from the injections and medicines, and her mouth keeps shouting Larissa’s name.”

At this moment, a doorbell came from outside the door.

From outside the door walked in a girl with a playful and cute look, less than one meter six in height, wearing a long pink down jacket, she carried fruits and handed them to the maid, and looked towards Old Lora and Nathanael’s mother who were sitting in the living room, “Grandpa, Auntie.”

“Yay Zafirah, hurry up and come sit.” Nathanael’s mother greeted her warmly.

Zafirah walks over and looks at Nathanael’s mother, “Auntie, I heard that Brother Nathanael is sick so I came over to see if Brother Nathanael is better?”

“He ah, this high fever hasn’t gone down, the medicine has been taken, and the IV has been put in, I don’t know what’s going on, this fever doesn’t go down. It’s been hovering between thirty-eight degrees six and thirty-eight degrees.”

“This is the season now, it’s the seasonal cold that you tend to get if you’re not careful, and colds cause fever, so don’t worry too much, Auntie.”

Zafirah advised Nathanael’s mother.

The maid on the side came over and looked at Nathanael’s mother, “Ma’am, it’s time to feed the young master his medicine.”

“Zafirah, go help feed Nathanael some medicine.” Old Lora spoke up at that moment and looked to Zafirah and spoke.

“Uh, okay.”

Seeing Zafirah answering, she turned and followed the maid carrying the medicine upstairs. Nathanael’s mother looked to Old Lora and asked in confusion, “Dad, why did you ask Zafirah to help go feed the medicine? She’s a guest, it seems a bit inappropriate.”

Old Lora does not answer and takes a sip of tea from her cup, as if she is concentrating on something.

After half a minute, Old Lora puts down the cup of tea again and sinks a breath, “Since Nathanael isn’t married, this can’t keep dragging on. You, as Nathanael’s mom, also help out and see what suitable ones are around that you can arrange for Nathanael to go on a blind date.”

“Dad, this …” Nathanael’s mother wanted to say, hasn’t this kind of thing been mentioned before? Now a blind date was being mentioned again.

Needless to say, her son won’t agree to it. However, looking at the current situation, I don’t believe it, and I don’t know if I can still wait for Larissa.

Knowing what Nathanael’s mother was worried about, Old Lora added, “I think Zafirah is good.”

“Dad, Zafirah she just graduated from college …,” the words did not finish, Nathanael’s mother and said no more, the old man said whatever it is.

Zafirah is just graduated from college, the family and her family friendship is good, so Zafirah in her family’s company to work, so that Zafirah and her son to get along with a lot of opportunities, and Zafirah seems to be well-behaved, people are also very good.

Nathanael Lora, who was lying in bed, was confused and saw a woman who he thought was Larissa and called out, “Larissa …”

“Brother Nathanael, I’ve come to give you your medicine.” Zafirah enters Nathanael Lora’s room alone with the water and medicine.

She reaches for Nathanael Lora, trying to help him up, but instead she is held by Nathanael Lora, who looks as if he has no strength that way, his body is limp and pressed against her shoulder, and she hears his voice in her ear, “I miss you … ”

Suddenly, it was like a burn in her ear and she pushed Nathanael Lora away in panic.

“Brother Nathanael, I’m Zafirah. i heard you were sick and came to check on you. grandpa asked me to help feed you.”

She was seeing that he was delirious and mistook her for someone else.

Nathanael Lora was pushed this way and fell on the bed, his head hit the side of the bed for a bit, the pain brought him back to some consciousness a little, he got a good look at the person in front of him, she had long curly chestnut hair, it was hard to make out her face but he knew that Larissa’s hair wasn’t this long.

Seeing Nathanael Lora frown, Zafirah reaches out to support him, “I didn’t mean to be so forceful just now, did I hurt you Brother Nathanael?”

“Brother Nathanael, where do you hurt? Where did you hit? Let me help you look.” Zafirah looked a bit frazzled and nervous.

Nathanael Lora couldn’t see the person in front of her again once the pain from that hit had passed, it was just a blur as if he heard her talking but couldn’t make out what she was saying.

Zafirah examined Nathanael Lora’s head and made sure it wasn’t swollen or bleeding before she let go.

She picked up the medicine again and handed it to Nathanael Lora’s mouth, “Brother Nathanael, take the medicine and finish it so you can get better faster.”

“Hurry up and eat.”

Outside, another servant goes in with porridge and sees Zafirah still moving Nathanael Lora’s mouth, at a loss, “Ms. Zafirah, haven’t you helped the young master feed the medicine in yet? Ugh! This is really not knowing what to do. Medicine, medicine can’t be fed in, rice, rice can’t be eaten, this is relying on nutrient solution to renew his life all day long.”

“I don’t know what can be done to feed the young master the medicine and eat the rice. I’ve tried so many methods, but I can’t have someone feed him by mouth, right?”

By mouth?

Hearing this, Zafirah’s face instantly bursts red like a cooked shrimp.

“Taking medicine is still better to feed, this eating, it’s really hard enough. Miss Zafirah, why don’t, why don’t you help feed young master’s rice as well.”

Zafirah was shocked and stuttered in fear, “I … feed?”

She looked at Nathanael Lora’s chiseled thin lips, her mind thinking about what the maid said about feeding by mouth. Her heart was pounding.
