Early the next morning, inside the university canteen.
Paula Rouco, with two dark circles under her eyes, lined up with Susana to play breakfast.
Susana slapped her on the back, “What were you doing last night, you looked like you’d been sucked yang.”
“Severe he … never mind, let’s not talk about him.”
The more you talk about it, the more difficult it becomes.
Susana laughed and said, “Severo again, I see Severo got you down!”.
Paula Rouco ignores her, it’s difficult and she doesn’t want to talk.
“By the way, Severo was on Twitter yesterday, did you see him?”.
Paula Rouco frowned a little, “What is he doing that is so unbelievable that he is on the bench?”.
Susana gave her a sidelong glance, “Didn’t you just say you didn’t care? The most important thing is that Severo was injured yesterday in court. The internet says that someone was there and saw Severo bleeding from that wound, and just like that he won the case for two hours. That’s impressive…”
Paula Rouco was flabbergasted, “Is he injured?”
“Yes, I think there’s a picture on the internet, I’ll have you look.”
Susana searched Twitter and found a photo of Severo Laris in the courthouse at that moment.
Paula Rouco grabbed her phone and enlarged the photo, only to see Severo Laris’ shirt red with blood, shocking to the eye, but the man’s face was calm and contained.
“I heard that the defendant’s family is very powerful and that Severo secretly took revenge on the other side because he insisted on fighting this case. I can’t believe that being a lawyer is dangerous enough. …”
Paula Rouco did not hear what Susana said next, her mind was only occupied with the news that Severo Laris had been injured.
Is he in the hospital, is he badly wounded, has he lost a lot of blood, is his life in danger?
It suddenly occurred to Paula Rouco that, by not letting her see him yesterday, was he trying to hide the fact that he had been injured?
…
After the morning session, Paula Rouco called Rufio.
Rufio told her that Severo Laris was at the First Village Hospital.
Paula Rouco skipped two afternoon classes and took a cab to the hospital.
But as soon as she found the ward where Severo Laris was, she saw Engracia taking care of Severo Laris in the ward.
Engracia was very considerate serving Severo Laris coffee and water and serving porridge.
Paula Rouco stood in the doorway and clenched her fist; she really hadn’t come at the right time, she shouldn’t have come.
Inside the room, Engracia said, “My father also saw your hot tip yesterday, admired you and asked me to take you to meet him one day.”
Heh, the two of them are going to meet their parents?
Paula Rouco bit her lip, which was pale from the bite.
Engracia added, “By the way, Severo, I heard from my dad that there are two places at our school to continue studying in Massachusetts, and what my dad means is that the two of us go together if you want to.”
Engracia saw Severo Laris frowning and thought he was worried about the cost, so she hastened to say, “The school pays tuition and everything, and the daily expenses are not small, but we can work and study.”
Paula Rouco’s eyes slightly reddened.
It turns out they were already planning to go to America to further their studies together, and she was foolish enough to think Severo Laris was going to like her.
Paula Rouco turned her head and ran out, bumping into the nurse who was coming into the room to change the drops.
When the nurse came in with Severo Laris’ drops, she asked with a smile, “Mr. Severo, a little girl came to see you a while ago, is she your girlfriend?”.
The girl, who had just been there, also asked Severo Laris something at the nurse’s help desk.
Severo Laris and Engracia were stunned.
Severo Laris asks, “Little sister?”
“Yes, very white skin, big eyes, long hair, pretty looking, very worried about you, asked a lot of questions about your injury in the infirmary, quite nervous about you, thought she was your girlfriend.”
The nurse smiles as she changes Severo Laris’ drops.
Severo Laris unconsciously peeked into the room, but it was empty.
