Chapter 372: THEY DIDN\'T KNOW
Giana felt that she had been sleeping for a very long time, so long that she could not remember a few pieces of what happened or what day it was.
Her head felt dizzy while her mind seemed to be covered by a thick fog that she couldn\'t get rid of, or perhaps she wanted the thick fog to dissipate, because then, everything would become clear.
And by being clear, Giana knew she had to face all her troubles again. Such a complicated problem, which consumes a lot of time and energy.
However, Giana couldn\'t hide behind the fog forever. She had to get out of there and face reality.
However, even though Giana had been asleep for so long that she felt like her body had gone numb, she still didn\'t want to wake up…
"I lost my baby…" Dillon said on a very sunny morning. Perfect weather and beautiful sky.
However, the same couldn\'t be said about the atmosphere inside this ward, because inside the VIP room where Giana was being treated, a heart-breaking thing was about to happen…
"You mean I lost my baby?" Giana said with a tired face. Her voice was very hoarse. She then tried to reach for her drink which was on the table, on the edge of the bed. However, Giana couldn\'t reach it. She couldn\'t stretch her hand far enough.
Usually at times like this, Dillon would quickly get her the glass and help her to drink, supporting her body so that Giana wouldn\'t choke, but all Dillon did now was stand across the room, leaning his back against the window.
"You couldn\'t have lost the baby Giana," Dillon said calmly, as if he had no emotions when talking about his dead baby. "You never wanted it."
The last words hit Giana\'s heart. She could feel the nagging pain coming back when Dillon said that.
Of course, Giana didn\'t want the baby… but that didn\'t mean she wanted something bad to happen to the baby. Although her actions so far could not justify these claims.
She never did a single thing that didn\'t harm her pregnancy.
"I never said that," Giana said in a murmur like voice. She finally gave up on getting her drink and lay back down on her bed, glancing at Dillon. Was the man not going to help her get a drink? Apparently so, he was still standing in the same position.
"You didn\'t say it, but you showed it," Dillon said in the same tone. He then continued when he saw Giana snorting in disgust. As if this was not the right topic to discuss right now. "You drank high doses of alcohol every time you got a chance, you didn\'t take care of yourself… you never showed that you wanted the baby."
Giana sighed in annoyance. She clicked her tongue. "We don\'t need to discuss this now. This is just a disaster." Giana then tried again to reach for her drink, and this time she removed the infusion tube that was stuck in her left hand to make it easier. This action caused blood to flow from her veins and stain the bed and blanket. "Regarding myself consuming too much alcohol, you know for yourself that I need it when I have a serious problem on my mind."
Giana glanced back at Dillon and the man didn\'t move an inch from where he was standing, not even when he saw the blood on Giana\'s hands.
What was this? The Dillon that Giana knew would be running toward her while calling for the nurse in panic by now, but all Dillon did was just stand there doing nothing, as if he didn\'t see the blood flowing down Giana\'s hands.
"Including drugs?" Dillon asked. There was a hint of emotion in his voice when he said that word. "Of course I know that." Dillon answered a question that Giana hadn\'t had time to ask, but of course the man knew what the woman was going to ask.
"It was just a mistake," Giana evaded. She was still trying to get her drink and was getting annoyed because she was so thirsty. She is really pissed off right now.
"The hospital told me the lab results, and that\'s one of the reasons you miscarried." Dillon then gritted his jaw as he added. "Even if the baby survives, doctors said under such conditions, the baby will have abnormalities in its growth and is very risky."
Giana clenched her fists so tightly her knuckles turned white and then glared at Dillon for saying that. "You don\'t have to make me feel guilty and make it worse. I know my mistake, so stop this conversation."
There was a sense of tightness that Giana felt, but she tried to hide it, pretending that this was not something to be exaggerated.
"Could you please help me get a drink?" Giana was annoyed that Dillon had absolutely no intention of helping her. She stared at the man fiercely when Dillon didn\'t even move an inch. "Help." Giana finally added the word in a slightly softer tone.
Only then did Dillon move over to Giana. He poured mineral water into a glass and gave it to Giana.
"And this will be the last thing I do for you." Dillon said softly, his eyes vacant, as if he didn\'t feel anything anymore. "You are right. Let\'s stop this conversation." Dillon then pressed the emergency button on Giana\'s bedside, so someone could clean the blood off her hands and treat her.
Giana sipped her drink, staring at Dillon with a furrowed brow, but her heart was beating very fast, as if she had a bad feeling about Dillon\'s unusual attitude.
Only, Giana didn\'t say anything.
And when the two nurses came, they looked surprised when they saw the IV needle that had been pulled out of Giana\'s hand while blood flowed out, staining the blanket.
While the two sisters were busy with Giana, Dillon slipped out of Giana\'s room.
The man didn\'t say anything and Giana could only see his slumped back. He was like someone who had lost a war.
Actually Giana wanted to stop Dillon from leaving, because she felt this would be the last time for her to see the man, but her ego and anger blinded her eyes and heart. She was adamant not to say anything or stop Dillon.
Not even an apology was said by Giana after what had happened or what Dillon had to go through.
And that was their last meeting. Without saying goodbye, thank you, sorry or other parting words.
Because the last word they spoke was; Let\'s stop this conversation.
And the conversation between the two of them really ended right then and there.
================
"Ramon, I really didn\'t know this," Ian called Ramon when he got the latest update on the assignment the man had given him. "Don\'t you know this at all? You really don\'t know about this? Are you serious?" Ian sounded a little panicked when he called Ramon.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Ramon did not immediately answer Ian\'s question. He was silent for a moment and then sat down at his desk, staring at the setting sun from the large window in his office.
The scenery was very beautiful, as if the city was enveloped by bright orange light.
"Ramon? Do you hear me? Answer me, for I feel very bad now." Ian was irritated by the silence between him and Ramon. This was not the time for Ramon to be silent.
"I didn\'t know about Giana\'s pregnancy until I heard that she had a miscarriage," Ramon said, finally answering Ian\'s question.
Meanwhile on the other side of the phone, Ian rubbed his face roughly. "I feel like a jerk." After all, he had harmed an innocent baby. "If I had known, I wouldn\'t have done what you told me to do."
"If that woman found out she was pregnant, she wouldn\'t be asking for that stuff from you all the time or going to bars every night," Ramon said and those words made Ian think with new logic.
What Ramon said was true… Giana didn\'t want her child, otherwise she wouldn\'t have done all that when she found out she was pregnant.
Other people would not know this because Giana kept it a tight secret and after all she was still not officially divorced from Aidan, therefore, to suddenly appear pregnant, would definitely be a new problem for her.
Was that why she wanted to get rid of the baby?
But still…
"Ramon, the baby is innocent… the baby is innocent," Ian said tiredly. It couldn\'t be said that it was entirely the fault of Ramon\'s plans or Ian\'s actions, but still, the guilt was there.
Likewise with his baby… the baby Hailee conceived, their first child was also innocent. "Then the baby will go to heaven," replied Ramon.
And after saying that he hung up the phone with Ian, frustrating the guy since Ramon sounded like he didn\'t care.
Yes, it did sound cruel, but if Giana had been more careful and she really wanted the child, she would have avoided such an outcome, especially what Ian offered her.
But, the woman actually accepted it and abused it continuously.
And if only Ramon had known that Giana was pregnant, he would have changed his plans. Ramon wouldn\'t do that to an innocent baby...
It was just that, when the situation was already like this, then there was nothing else to do but continue with their plan as before.
And Ramon\'s target this time was Leon, the last man on his revenge list...
Of course it was him…
