Chapter 233 Problems
Serena stood still for a moment, then nodded, then waited for Beatrice to put her things in order to go home with her.
Outside the hospital, the night was illuminated by so many lights. Hundreds of lights intertwined with each other. When the night wind blew, Serena felt cold. Unconsciously she retracted her neck and wrapped her arm.
"If you're cold, put your coat on, wait for me here while I go get the car."
"Okay." Said Serena
She stayed in front of the hospital entrance waiting for her. Now that it was autumn, the wind at night was very cold. She thought about it, and finally put Cristian's coat over her shoulders.
The coat was very big. It was like a big cloak over her, keeping the wind away.
Serena bowed her head and sniffed it. What coat had the unmistakable smell of Cristian. It was cold, and it was reminiscent of the smell of tobacco.
Thinking about this, Serena blinked and unconsciously clutched the coat for a few minutes. After waiting about two minutes, Beatrice came out and stood not far from her. Serena went to open the door and sat down in the car.
"Remember to buckle up," Beatrice said, and then drove off.
As the car entered the street, Serena looked at the lights in the street and suddenly heard Beatrice ask her, "What happened with your injury today? What happened between you and Cristian?"
Between her and Cristian.
"The office doesn't have good sound insulation. You were definitely awake at the time, you should have heard our conversation." Beatrice added before Serena answered.
Hearing this, Serena was stunned for a while and felt her ears and face burning.
She had not expected Beatrice to have sensed this. So Cristian? If Beatrice figured it out, could it be that Cristian had figured it out too?
"I wanted to ask you, do you really want to spend your life with Cristian?"
What to answer? Serena pulled her lips together and said in a low voice, "Beatrice, I know. You are a good person, but... Feelings cannot be forced. The relationship between Cristian and me is very complex. Besides... I shouldn't have even been the one to marry him."
"Luca told me all about you, you got married instead of your sister. Because the Gallo family thought that since Cristian was disabled, it was a problem to live with him, so they got their daughter married with less hope."
It was all true, Serena had no way to refute, she could only lower her eyes silently.
"I told Cristian, that even though he is disabled, you were still willing to marry him, even though it had been by your family's choice. Even though you are having a baby, I think it is a good thing for Cristian. Do you have anything to tell me?"
Listening to the speech, Serena raised her eyes and looked at Beatrice and said, "What should I answer?"
"Do you like Cristian?"
Serena: "..."
Beatrice smiled, "Too direct? Let's put it another way. How do you feel about this marriage? Although it is an arranged marriage, in many arranged marriages the couple end up having feelings for each other. You have been with him for several months. How do you feel?"
Serena: "... ..." She did not know how to answer. Although Alice had already asked her this question and she did not know how to answer it, let alone Beatrice who was elderly. Serena did not know how to
answer.
"You still can't seem to understand your own feelings." Beatrice shook her head, "It seems you still need time."
Serena lowered her eyes, "Say no more... Cristian... He will never like me."
Beatrice listened and could not help but laugh, "I'm not so sure. Can you understand people's feelings? Why don't you ask them if they like you or not?"
No need to ask, Serena thought in her heart, besides she had asked him before.
Once, Cristian had asked her if she liked him, and Serena answered rudely, asking if he liked himself, but... Cristian's eyes and expression at that moment showed.... They showed self-loathing.
Perhaps relationships between people produce feelings, but... if you are unable to accept yourself, then you cannot have a perfect relationship.
"Many things should be asked. How do you know what the other person is thinking? Also, even if you ask a question, what the other person answers may not be what they think." Speaking of this, Beatrice raised her lips and looked vaguely into the distance, "Many things have two sides, just like when I asked you the question, you struggled to answer, this is because inside you had many answers to give. It's not that you don't like Cristian, it's just that you have reasons that make you doubt that you can't like him, and also you think.... That you don't deserve him, right?"
Serena was surprised and looked at Beatrice in amazement, "Aren't you a surgeon? Possible... She is also... Psychologist?"
She asked in a low voice, Beatrice looked at her from the corner of her eye and saw that her eyes were dull, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, girl... You're going to be a mother soon, how can you still act like a child? No wonder..."
No wonder Cristian had changed so much. Cristian was much more vivid now than he was before, and he cared about her.
In the past Cristian thought only of revenge and had vowed to take Ferrari Group. There was never a woman around him.
Alexander suddenly had him married. At first Beatrice was also very worried, but fate is never clear. He did not expect to be together with Serena. Beatrice did not expect that this would happen now. Serena was embarrassed and bit her lower lip.
After that, Beatrice let her into the house. Beatrice had a small apartment. The neighborhood was quiet. When she opened the door, she felt the warmth of the apartment.
"Sit down, I'll change, then I'll call Cristian and tell him you're here, he'll pick you up later."
"Thank you."
After Beatrice walked away, Serena sat on the sofa, and looked at the furnishings of the house. After a while, Beatrice returned.
"Didn't you take off your coat when you came in?"
Serena felt warmed by this sentence, and replied, "I forgot..."
Then she got up and took off her coat. When she took it off, she felt as if something had fallen on the floor, probably because she had taken it off too quickly.
"What fell?" Beatrice asked.
Serena made to bend down and look for it, but Beatrice immediately stepped forward, bent down in front of her, and then picked up a small box at her feet. "What is this?" Beatrice asked, handing the box to Serena. "I think it fell out of my coat pocket."
