A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1317

Alejandro sat in his chair and said expressionlessly, “The old man has ordered me not to leave your side. Besides, it’s better that I stay, as I get to have some peace and quiet. Further, I don’t feel like serving him anyway.”

Melanie lowered her head and kept quiet. She knew that he did not actually feel that way. Whatever the reason, the moment Alejandro realized Don Smith did not have much longer to live, he’d been serving by his side constantly. Even if Don Smith threw a fit and lashed out at him, Alejandro neither complained nor retaliated, he was not even able to take care of his leg. Melanie thought that this was a good chance for him to relax.

It was also a blessing in disguise for Melanie as well, how else would Alejandro stay by her side in the hospital willingly?

The next morning, the doctor brought over the consent papers for Alejandro to sign as Melanie laid on her bed nervously. She had never even gotten a scar in her life, let alone entered an operating theatre. It was hard for her not to be terrified as her time drew nearer. However, Melanie did not dare to show Alejandro her fears, as she was afraid that he would criticize her. She was the one who had made this decision, so she needed to see it through no matter what.

As Alejandro’s long slender fingers gripped the pen, he paused just as he was about to sign the consent papers. “You seem terrified. Are you sure you want to do this? There’s no turning back once I’ve signed it.”
