Chapter 79
“Go to sleep,Zoe. I'm sleepy." Cora turned off the bedside lamp. In fact, she had thought of something unhappy and had no mood to talk anymore.
Zoe also had her own thoughts. The two had a different thoughts on the same bed. They thought about their own things and fell asleep peacefully.
**********
Tristan was lying on the bed, with no one around. He had never felt that he had been alone for so long. When Winnie came with meal, she told him that Phoebe came by the house saying she forgot something but she had left.
Tristan breathed a sigh of relief. He hoped that it was a good ending. Although he felt sorry for her, he really couldn't pretend anymore. He felt no love for her.
Staring at the ceiling blankly, Tristan finally knew how Cora felt when she was lying on the bed.
Only when he got better could he have the chance to do something else.
The person who was sent to investigate the matter on that day had preliminary contact, but they just needed to negotiate. He found Colin who quoted 200 million dollars to disclose the other party's phone number and related information.
But was it really that simple? Tristan rubbed his head. He felt that this was another trap waiting for him to jump. Since something had happened and Colin had exposed his news, it was impossible for him not to be afraid of his revenge.
Tristan slightly narrowed his eyes. At this time, the phone next to him rang. Seeing that it was a call from his new assistant,Tristan’s expectant mood instantly dropped a little. "Hello, Mr. Godoy. You should be mentally prepared. Your mother found out about what happened to you and is rushing to the hospital right now.She might be there already as we speak.”
"Well, I see.”As soon as Tristan hung up the phone, Celia rushed in,crying hysterically.
At that time, she came in directly without knocking at the door. Looking at Tristan, who was still wrapped in gauze, Celia cried.”Oh my poor baby.”
"Mom, I'm fine. I just had an accident and I didn’t tell you because it wasn’t too serious.Please stop crying." Tristan said in a calm tone, seeming to be fine.
After a while,Celia finally stopped crying.
"Who did it? I've heard about the whole process. It can't be an accident.It…it's obvious that someone wants to hurt you . I won't let him go easily if I find the murderer. " At that time, Celia was holding a crutch, followed by the butler.
"I know, mom.I've sent someone to investigate it, but the chances are slim. These things are unpredictable. I will be careful next time.”Tristan said slowly, as if it was hard for him to speak.
"Have a good rest. I've asked someone to take care of the company. Don't worry. We'll talk about it when you get better. As for Andy, I'll settle it. You can stay away from it. I'm afraid that his family will be angry and hurt you.”Celia squinted at Tristan with concern.
When Tristan saw Celia standing there,he felt sorry that he made his mother to worry about him.
"Mom,don't worry. I will get better soon and find out the truth. I will not let anyone who wants to hurt me get away with it.”Tristan tone was flat, but determined.
At that time, Celia slightly narrowed his eyes and the corners of his mouth revealed a bit of sharpness. "You have to pay attention to your cousin Marcus. After all, he must be on guard against others. He has gone to the company to look for you several times, and every time he is sent away by your new assistant. If I hadn't asked your assistant, no one would have known that you were in hospital."
"Mom,how are you these days?”Tristan’s eyes were also filled with concern. Although his mother was harsh by nature, he really cared about her.The only family member he had in the world was his mother and Grandma.!
“Phoebe called me.She said you ended things with her.I know you said I shouldn’t meddle in your love life anymore but to tell you the truth,I’m starting to feel bad for the way I treated Cora,that lady did me no wrong and I was just mean to her for no reason.I don’t know if it’s old age that’s making me so sentimental but I genuinely feel bad.Have you seen her since she left your house?”
“I haven’t.But I’m going to make things up to her. I didn't know what I wanted before, but now I know." Tristan didn't want to discuss his emotional problems with his mother.
He felt she couldn’t understand him.
"Anyway, don't be too hard on yourself. The family doctor will come to the villa to see me later. I have to go back first. Take care of yourself."
After saying that,Celia coughed twice.
Tristan saw everything, but he didn't say anything else. Sometimes it was the wisest not to say it. Seeing through without speaking was a tacit understanding.
When he addressed these problems, he must take good care of his mother’s health.
Tristan thought so, but his whole body was painful. Before that, he'd better think about how to recover.
After ringing the bell, a doctor in white coat and glasses came quickly.
Standing in front of the bed, the doctor glanced at Tristan and asked, "How do you feel today? Do you feel extreme pain? Do you feel uncomfortable, especially your brain? Does it hurt? "
"I feel less pain. I don't feel any pain in my brain. I just feel a pain in my shoulder."Tristan said without hesitation.
"Okay. I’ll tell a nurse to change the gauze in time. After a while, you can leave the hospital and go home for rest." Dr. Moore adjusted his glasses, expressionless.
He was used to seeing patients and life and death. So he wouldn't be as excited as he was when he first saw these questions.
No matter how tragic and disgusting the scene was, Dr. Moore could still be expressionless.
As a doctor, the first thing he should do was to control his emotions. He couldn't let his emotions frighten the family of the patient.
Those who had been waiting for a long time would think too much if they saw any emotional fluctuation of the doctor. .
Tristan saw Dr. Moore out of the ward.He was able to move around now. He was the only one in the big ward again.
Tristan sighed. He had never sighed before, but recently he did it frequently. This was not a good sign.
Sometimes loneliness was not for others to see. Those who were truly lonely were afraid of being known. Whatever loneliness could make people scared.
At this moment,Tristan seemed to be in a huge void, surrounded by nothing. There was no love, no family affection, no friendship, and all the feelings were wrapped around him. When people were idle, they would feel a lot of loneliness wrapped around themselves. What one feared most was the enthusiasm in front of people, and the indifference behind people.
The enthusiasm was for others to see. Tristan knew that he seldom had time to be enthusiastic. When Noah was suffering from depression before, Tristan could deeply feel that it was not depression, but fear of loneliness. He was so lonely in the crowd.
It was just like a dream that no one mentioned it after. No one would care whether you were tired or not after so many years, and no one would care if you really liked the life or not.
Everything seemed to be in order, but suddenly it was in a mess. When everything was in order, the surroundings were full of people with whom you could talk with. But now, they were all silent or maliciously hurt.
It was true that the law of conservation of energy was true.Tristan closed his eyes.
He was not afraid of Cora’s indifference, but afraid of seeing the disappointment in her eyes.
He never wanted to disappoint her ever again.
Tristan picked up his phone, thought for a while and then put it down. He stared at Cora’s phone number. Thinking that even he called her, he could say nothing. It was still a meaningless tangle. Moreover, he had no energy to think about it now.
He had to attend his former assistant Andy's funeral this weekend. Thinking of this,Tristan’s heart tightened. If it weren't for him, how could a young life disappear so quickly? Recently,he felt sad all the time. This was not like him, but this was him now.
