Embrace Love's

Ch 156's. What"s the matter

Vincent's been looking for his wife who hasn't been seen since dinner. After the meal, Vincent walks into the study, tidying up some of the work they left behind since Catalina was in an accident and Claude is always in the hospital. Vincent also contacts Blaird, who takes care of Miss Tania Sweyn's troubles. Vince has not said anything about the crime the woman committed against Catalina. The mastermind of the accident that nearly killed Catalina.

Vincent feels the entire Bernard family is still wrapped in worries over Catalina's condition. So he chose to postpone telling about the facts he knew about the accident.

Arriving in the hallway of his room, Vincent's smile suddenly rose. Given that Joanna could always make her mood better, from all the thoughts and problems that Bernard's family was facing, she could always go home and find loving hugs and kisses from his wife, soothing.

Vincent opened the door, looking at the empty bed. The sheets are still neat and tight, a sign that Yoana has not entered at all into their room. Vincent walked into the bathroom, walked in and peeked.

"Yoan?"

Blank. He turned to walk in closet looking inward and neither found his wife. Vincent frowned. It was almost midnight, he was a bit long struggling with a laptop in the workspace earlier, he thought Yoana must have gone into the room and went to sleep.

Vincent walked out of his room. He checked the gym, in case his wife was there. Not finding anyone he was looking for there, Vincent immediately went down and went towards the kitchen. Maybe Yoana's looking for a snack or warm milk. There's not one either.

With a slightly irritated feeling, Vincent finally went towards the wide door leading to the terrace and pool. Joanna often sits on a lounge chair by the pool while lying down. Sure enough, he found his wife lying sideways behind him. A small table was located next to the lounge chair and there was a laptop on it.

Vincent approached, seeing that Joanna had not slept at all. The woman's eyes looked bright under the dimness of the porch lights.

"Yoan? Why are you lying here?"

Joanna realizes Vincent's presence after she hears his voice. The woman got up and sat down. He lowered his legs from the long chair to relax and invited Vincent to sit next to him.

After sitting down, Vincent looked towards the laptop on the small table.

"What are you doing here?"

Joanna took a deep breath. " I contacted a few people, then prepared some media friends to make an official announcement about Claude's marriage delay. The event was not possible at that time, Vince .. the time and date we had planned to stay only a few days, when it arrived, Catalina had not even been discharged from the hospital. He is still very weak, newly conscious and takes a long time to recover ...."

"You're right. I haven't even thought about it." Vincent rubbed his own hair. "What about the invitation we've shared, Yoan?"

"That's why I made the official announcement in the media. About the accident experienced by the bride-to-be and her condition that does not allow to carry out the wedding in the near future, directly convey the delay to an unknown time limit ...."

"What about Royal Beaufon?" Vincent asks where Joanna will hold her sister's wedding, all has been prepared and agreed, but it is impossible to do if the bride is not there.

"I've already told you the situation. We'll talk about it later. Of course he understands very well .. This is a disaster."

"Then what else are you worried about?" Vincent pulled his wife to lean on his shoulder.

"Claude .. I thought about his feelings. He was very happy to think about marrying the girl he loved .. and now being postponed ...."

"She was sad for sure .. but she was also grateful, Catalina survived. Seeing how Claude never left Eliza Hospital, I suspect Claude won't let Catalina out of his sight."

"I also think so .. and as soon as the girl is healthy, Claude will tie her up in the wedding as quickly as possible, without any celebration and reception if necessary. I'm pretty sure ..if it's possible to get married in that treatment room, Claude would've done it."

"And if he really did that, would you mind? You're gonna be sad? "

Joanna raised her head so she could look into Vincent's eyes. "No. I'll support him. I know how Claude feels. Everything no longer matters, other than realizing the dream of getting married, always being together with Catty, that's all Claude wants ...."

"Yes ...."

Vincent heard Joanna take a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"Don't be sad, Yoan .. After all, if Claude ends up turning down a fancy wedding and opting for a simple marriage like we did, you still have one more stock of sisters you can take care of the wedding as lavishly as possible."

Joanna laughed, remembering her youngest sister who seemed not to be approaching everything that smelled of marriage.

"It's still a long time, Vince. You know the reaction when I asked him what he thought of his wife?"

"What did he say?"

"He said he had not yet found a reasonable reason for the importance of tying his freedom to only one woman, if he only wanted to have children, then he already had Leon ... that's what he said."

"Well ... There are always unexpected things in the future, right? Like us. I and my belief not to marry you, just want to be your guardian and protect you. And you .. who feel alive enough just to see me every day. Then your little heart starts having other desires. You want a baby .. You're willing to compromise in order to have a baby, and then I'm scared, I'm afraid to really lose you. My comfort in being a guard is not enough anymore. For the first time I want more ...."

Yoana smiled, knowing for sure why Vincent's comfort had changed. Vincent stays on his feet when he knows there is no one else in Joanna's heart but her. They can love each other without having. But Robert's presence made Vincent riled up ... Joanna intends to open her heart to others, compromising so that she can have children. Vincent is unwilling to accept the possibility that his heart may be owned by someone else.

"How about you arrange an arranged marriage if the boy really doesn't find the person he wants to marry?" Vincent laughed to himself at the question he had just asked. That idea would make Simon explode.

Yoana giggles amusedly. " He'll make a big fuss with me if I do, '" said Joanna.

"I knew. It's even interesting to see his reaction."

The two husbands laughed together.

"It's midnight, Yoan. Let's go back to the room. We're resting."

Joanna nodded, just as she was about to get up to stand up when she felt her body suddenly float up and was already in Vincent's arms. Joanna smiled, leaned her head on Vincent's shoulder and slung her arms around her husband's neck as Vincent began to step up, taking him back to their room on the top floor of Bernard's mansion.

Claude watched as Catalina gulped down a few drops of water, the girl's condition was already better. Joy and relief continued to fill Claude's heart. His catty will heal, then they will soon be together again and as soon as possible Claude intends to tie his lover.

"Leon ..." whispered Catalina. Claude stared, then shook his head slowly.

"Sorry, Cat. I can't take him to the hospital right now. I have to compromise with the doctors and nurses here. Like Medieval at the time. Leon is too small .. Director Eliza, whose good friend has strict rules about this. He was stubborn .. By the way, what did he say yesterday when he came in and checked you out?"

"He looks different ... do you feel it? "

Catalina nodded small.

"Well, you felt it too. I don't know ... like someone .. happy maybe? Looks full of energy, full of enthusiasm .. always smiling, sparkling eyes, sometimes issuing jokes that are not expected. It's kind of weird to me."

Catalina reached out a hand, which was immediately greeted and grasped by Claude.

"Is it possible that he was satisfied that he could save you, and then you were admitted to his hospital, so that he could come to see you every day. He comes every day! I'm upset that he smiled and talked to you. Besides why he always kicked me out of this room when he came here." Claude sounded annoyed, yet he raised Catalina's hand and kissed her palm.

"There's nothing ... to do with me, Claude." whispered Catalina weak and hoarse.

"But you agree with me that he looks different. Always happy ... to see you every day I guess!"

Catalina shook her head slowly.

"It's not me. but his wife, Claude," Catalina said in a patient tone.

Claude raised both eyebrows in astonishment. " Natalie?"

Catty nodded.

"You mean, she's like that because of Natalia?"

Catty nodded again.

"Where do you know that?"

"Only Nat is he telling ...."

Claude's eyebrows shot up higher.

"You mean ... He told me about Natalia on every visit here?"

Take it again from Catalina.

"That's so ...."

"Hu um."

"Tell me what he told me" Claude asked.

Catalina smiled, then raised her hand that Claude was not holding towards her bandaged head.

"Ups, sorry. You should rest. Not a story for me."

Catalina felt her head and once again felt sad reminiscing about her hair. Claude looked at the change in the girl's face and knew what was causing it.

"Cats ... Don't sad. Your hair will grow again soon. Trust me," comfort Claude.

"I know ...." Catalina squeezed out Claude's hand that was holding her hand.

Then the movement outside the glass of Catalina's treatment room made Claude turn. He saw Joanna and Vincent coming.

"Rest, Catty" said Claude as he stood up from his chair. He bent down, gave a brief peck to the girl's forehead, then moved to the lips, only then did he stand up again.

"I'll see them." Show Claude to the couple who's outside the glass. Catalina nodded, then stared as Claude came out and started greeting Yoana and Vincent.

Catalina kept turning her head towards the outside of the glass. He saw Claude clenching his hands after hearing Vincent speak, then the man started pacing around with his mouth twitching.

Catalina couldn't hear what the three people were talking about out there. But he knew, whatever news Vincent brought, had made Claude's calm.

Claude looked angry ... very angry ..no no, not just angry, the man ....

Catalina was still staring curiously, when suddenly Claude's eyes looked at her bed. Their eyes met, and a chill suddenly ambushed Catalina's feelings.

What the hell is it? Why is your gaze so cold and cruel? What's bothering you? What did Vincent really say?
