Chapter 125 A white little note...
VICTORIA'S POV...
Anxious, shocked, hurt and betrayed all these words could describe my Aless at this moment. Standing
before the operation theatre, staring at the red light on top of the entrance blankly.
Even though he is not revealing his expressions, I know, I could feel his sorrows. For the past couple of
days, lots of things have happened around us. Our life has just turned into a drama. I would say, it's
more dramatic nowadays than those scripted dramas.
First, my kidnap. Second, Leo's premature birth. Dominic's revenge on Aless by buying Reywalt's
shares. The truth of his identity and now this ... Lots of things are going on with him right now. and I just
wish to take all of it from him and give him some time to relax.
Some burdensand pains people need to bear alone and they can't be shared with anyone even if they
want to.
I walked beside him and touched his shoulder. He didn't respond but kept staring at that red light as if it
was deciding his entire life's events. And honestly, it does.
"Aless..." I called to him softly.
He slowly turned to me. His ocean-blue eyes were dull and lost. I couldn't see that glint anymore. He is
broken by the truth that was placed before him today.
His look made my heart clench in a tight cold grip. Still, for him, I tried to hold myself back and not to
break in front of him to give him more pain.
He only stared at me. It felt like his body is here but he is somewhere else. Far away from me.
"Alessandro ..." I called him again, turning him back to me now. He was still the same, no response. I
cupped his cheeks. "Baby, talk to me. Don't be like this, please." I begged him helplessly.
Still unresponsive. Sigh ...
I pulled him closer and hugged him by the neck and caressed his hair. "Hey, it's alright. Everything will
be fine." I whispered in his ears. "Trust me," I added.
A few seconds later, I felt his movement and slowly, his hands wrapped around me, hugging me tightly
as he hid his face in my neck, as if trying to seek some comfort.
I did my best to hold him tightly and spread some warmth to his frozen mind.
Soon, the red light was off and the surgeon came out. Breaking the hug, Aless turned to them, "What
happened, doctor? How is grandma?" He asked anxiously and I supported him by his arm.
Two surgeons were inside, just walked out and both looked at each other before the head surgeon
sighed and removed his head clothes slowly.
"Doctor! Why aren't you talking!" He almost yelled this time, his tone heavy.
The head surgeon shook his head. "We are sorry Mr Devonte. We tried our best. But...we could not
save the patient..."
I gasped. More on Aless than the news itself.
"NO!" Aless growled and immediately his hands fisted into the doctor's collar as he yelled in his face.
"How dare you say that!? What were you doing inside all this time!? How could you not save her!? Why
did you get your fucking degrees!? Say it was a lie! Say you lied to me!" He shouted and I and the
other doctors tried to move him from the doctor.
"Aless... Please calm down." I cried. The news about Grandma and Now it is less of a chaotic mess,
affecting my mind too. Still, I am trying to keep my cool with him.
Even though I understand that his emotions caught him badly, I couldn't let him harm others swayed
away by his emotions.
"Aless, stop it!" I pulled him off the doctor . Finally, he broke down, realising what had just happened.
He fell on his knees and started crying and I tried my best to comfort him from besides.
Soon, my parents and Antonio arrived. I had already informed them when Grandma was in the hospital.
But, they were a bit late. Everything has just ended now.
They looked at us and I shook my head. Both Papa and Antonio lowered their heads in sorrow and
Mama gasped, immediately coming beside Aless.
It's good that they are here. At this moment, he needs the support of a strong bond that only comes
from a family. And we are his family. Especially mama. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Since he went to Edwards Manor to live, mama became more motherly towards him. Even more than
me and Antonio.
A few minutes later, the bed was pushed out of OT where Grandma Nina was lying with her eyes
closed. Her whole body is covered with a white sheet.
Aless stood up with the support of us and slowly, dragged himself before the bed. The doctor removed
the white sheet over her face and that teared up us all. I even saw Papa wiping his tears a little.
Aless once again broke before his grandma. She is gone now, but the grace and charm of the elder
lady of the Devonte family didn't leave her. She had her eyes closed and it felt like she was sleeping
deeply and peacefully.
Soon, Aunt Giana and her daughter also arrived. They shed a few drops of tears for Grandma too but
honestly, I didn't notice a bit of regret or sadness in their faces. It was more like both mother and
daughter are happy after losing Grandma. Just here to show some formalities.
They didn't dare to bother us. Just stood there until the formalities were done and then after every
formality was completed, it was time to take Grandma home and Bury her with respect she deserves.
Her corpse was sent to the ambulance downstairs and her belongings to her daughter. As I were to
accompany my husband, the head surgeon suddenly stopped me.
"Miss, Edwards..."
I turned to him. "What happened, surgeon?"
He looked behind me carefully at the other family members and then at me. "Will you follow me alone?
I need to talk to you."
I was confused but decided to follow him. Letting Mama know silently and letting her handle Aless, I
stepped aside with the doctor. He took me to a corner and then looked around carefully, before pulling
out a white note from his pocket and handing it to me.
"What is it, doctor?" I asked.
"Please, keep it to you securely. It's given by Madam Devonte when she was in her death bed. And
open it only when you are home and alone." He said, stopping me when I was about to see the note.
I blinked and then frowned. "What is all this, doc? I... Maybe, it's not for me but for his grandson. You..."
"Miss Edwards." He interrupted me.
"This is not the right time to talk here. Madam Devonte wanted me to give you this and there is no
mistake we made to hear her spelling your name. I am just doing my work. She has a huge debt to me
and this is my time to pay for it. Please, go home now and see it later. And then, contact me.
Remember, don't open this note before others. She Specially asked me to give this to you." The doctor
said very seriously.
"Victoria..." I heard Ant. calling me. I nodded to the doctor and left immediately with my family after
keeping the folded white note in my bag...
I don't know what the doctor just gave me or how true his words are. But, I also Couldn't find a reason
for him to lie to me. I need to find out what's happening soon. But for now, I need to hold my patience
as much as possible...
