Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1019: Love is not a necessity

Bursting with bitterness from within, he ran full speed to his mother and hugged her with tear-filled eyes.

-You are home and I am quiet," she said, patting her mother on the back.

The two had not seen each other for so many years, and now that they met, her mother's eyes were also full of tears.

Anna looked at her mother with flushed eyes and asked:

-How is my father?

-After last night's urgent treatment, the doctor said he should be under observation for 48 hours, if he could get through these 48 hours in a safe state, then nothing serious would happen to him, but.... When Anna heard this number, she almost fainted.

-48 hours--doesn't that mean two days? How can he be in such a serious condition? Where is he now and can I see him?

-I'll take you to the intensive care unit, but you have to see him outside, because the doctor doesn't allow any more visits now and your relatives came once in the morning," the mother shook her head. On the way to the intensive care unit, the mother suddenly frowned and said:

-There seems to be a strange smell, what is that smell?

Anna was so worried about her father that she did not smell anything strange, so she shook her head.

But at that moment the mother dropped her gaze to Anna, as if she had discovered something important:

-Anna, why did you come to the hospital like this?

Since they had not seen each other for so many years, the mother was so excited to see her daughter that she did not notice that her daughter had come to the hospital dressed in her pajamas with a few stains and her hair in a ball.

-Mom, what's wrong? Let's go to dad first.

The mother paused and thought for a moment, saying:

-If you go to see your father like this, he might faint with rage at seeing you, even if he were awake now.

-What have I done? -a puzzled Anna asked.

Look at your shaggy hair! The chicken coop is prettier than your hairdo! And that sour smell I just smelled....

The mother approached her daughter and sniffed her,then turned away from her in disgust and said, "Tell me, how many days have you gone without a bath? You smell so bad that you didn't make others faint on the way to the hospital?

Anna stared at her mother wordlessly for a while and finally had no choice but to bow her head.

Anna thought, "Well, we haven't seen each other for so long and my mother is still sarcastic. Is there a mother who treats her daughter like this?"

-Good thing you can't go to the ICU, otherwise this smell might wake up your father and make him unconscious again.

-Mom! -Anna said anxiously, -You can stop teasing me, my father is still in the ICU!

Hearing this, his mother gave him a look of complaint, speaking:

-Do you even know that he is in the ICU? If he wasn't so sick, wouldn't you have come back?

Anna did not know how to answer her.

-I said, -You can't see him anyway, so you'd better go home and get cleaned up. Look at you, you're so unpresentable.

-But I'm already here, I have to see my dad, Mom, please let me see dad in secret, just for a while and then I'll go home with you!

Finally, her mother took her to the ICU, and as Anna looked out the window at him her father, who was lying on the hospital bed, began to cry.

-Damn old man, how can you be so careless when you drive? You are so old and you had the car accident, you will be a laughingstock when it comes out," Anna said tearfully.

Seeing this, the mother beside her daughter could not help but wipe away her tears, caress her daughter's shoulder and speak:

-Good grief for the baby! Your father is already in intensive care, but you still call him a damn old man, you merciless girl.

The two hugged each other and began to cry.

After about ten seconds of hugging, the mother wiped away her tears as she scolded her daughter: That's it, you are not allowed to make noise in the hospital, we cried so we will disturb your daddy, let's go home and cry if we want to, by the way, wash yourself well -when she finished the words, she pushed Anna particularly upset.

Her daughter said nothing and thought, she is my mother and what can I do with her?

When they arrived home, her mother opened the door with the key, saying, "So many years have passed without you coming back:

So many years without you coming back, but your room has always been clean for you, these days your father is hospitalized, so you are moving, even though the clothes are old, you are thinner than before, so you can wear them.

Click.

The door opened and Anna followed her mother into the house.

Seeing the familiar decor of the house, she felt like crying again, but she didn't, because her mother patted the back of her head and said, "-Take a shower right away and take off your shoes because I washed the floor yesterday.

Anna did not respond.

The tears stopped at this blow, and Anna entered the bathroom with a depressed expression.

-Why don't you take your clothes? Do you want to go out naked?

-Mom, will you allow me to enter the house dressed like this?

-Accurate.

She raised her head to look in the mirror, but was shocked and took a few steps back, looking at the disheveled woman in the mirror with a horrified expression.

She asked herself, "Is it me, why do I look like this?"

Anna looked at herself in the mirror, her lips pale and trembling, and stroked her cheek with trembling hands. Her hair was as messy as a hen's nest, her eyes puffy, her lips dry and peeling, her skin devoid of shine, looking like a woman who came from the highlands.

No, women who came from the mountainous areas were beautiful, because the environment in those places was beneficial to people. Unlike her, who was so ugly.

If she stayed like that, how could Matteo like her?

Matteo Giordano did not see her, and even if he did, he would not feel sorry for her. Her life got worse day by day, and people stayed away from her like a monster when she went out, and even her mother did not like her smell.

Didn't she look bad in this state?

Anna had not looked in the mirror recently, and now that she saw her ghostly appearance for a man, she suddenly felt extremely ridiculous.

She had been with Serena for so long, and then Serena and Cristian broke up, Serena had a painful time, but not like Anna.

For Anna, all this just meant the end of unrequited love, they would have died laughing if they had found out about her situation.

Turning on the shower, Anna stood naked under it, letting the hot water wash her body.

Anna thought, "From today, I cannot go on like this. A person's life is very precious and I still have many interesting things to try in life, so love is not a necessity and neither is man."
