He pulled Severo a long way and looked back, still seeing the stall owner looking over with a wary glance.
Allyce doubled over in laughter and burst out laughing.
He thought Severo was doing it on purpose.
Although this Muppet was not worth three hundred dollars as the stall owner had claimed, thirty dollars was definitely not going to buy it.
The stall owner just saw that people would generally misspell it, so he took a chance and made one more profit, but when he encountered a genius like Severo, he would only lose his money.
Severo saw Allyce’s smile and curved his lips in response.
With that, he raised his hand to check the time and realised it was already five o’clock.
“It’s getting late, so wait here while I get the car”.
“Hmm.
Allyce nodded and took a few steps down the road with her Muppet in her arms.
He watched Severo’s tall figure disappear into the crowd with some frustration.
Was I going to trust him?
Maybe I should have asked, what was the point of dragging it out like that?
Severo was very good with her …
Allyce rested her chin on the Muppet’s head and thought about things.
Suddenly, a woman’s shout rang out from the crowd: “Get out of the way! That car is out of control.
Allyce looked up sharply as a van drove straight towards her.
There was a wall behind her and a post to her right; she would have to move out of the way to avoid it.
As she saw the car approaching her, her mind went blank for a moment before she lifted her legs and ran to the side.
She ran to the side in panic as an electric car approached her at full speed …
“Allyce!”
Allyce could hear Severo calling her, but she didn’t know where he was.
“Tick-”
“Bang – clang!”
Allyce thought about going back to see where Severo was when she felt her body lighten and her whole body fly away, she reached out to grab the muppet she had before, but it was too late ….
“Allyce!”
Severo’s voice was closer, and she could hear him gasp slightly.
But she felt very dizzy …
He wasn’t going to die like that, was he?
If I had known this was going to happen, I shouldn’t have hesitated so long before, I should have asked Severo directly in person …
I shouldn’t have wasted my time, life is too precious.
…
“Tic-”
The sound of a not unfamiliar instrument was in his ear.
“Why isn’t she awake yet?”
“He has suffered a blow to the head and unconsciousness is normal, tests indicate …”.
The voice was clear for a moment and then faded.
Allyce moved her body, feeling sore.
That’s when she heard someone say: “She’s awake!
Allyce turned her head to look at the face of a strange young woman.
Without waiting for her to say anything, the young woman suddenly disappeared and a familiar face appeared.
“Are you awake, is there a difficulty somewhere, where are you uncomfortable?”
Severo’s tone was urgent.
Allyce was a bit confused, she was still thinking about what had happened earlier and didn’t answer him immediately.
Seeing this, Severo’s face changed and he turned and grabbed the doctor from behind: “Examine her carefully! I want a detailed examination, I want her body to be OK!
Doctor: “…”
Allyce: “…”
She was drawn back into her thoughts by Severo’s words and stood a little speechless before him.
He turned his head and saw the IV needle in his hand and pulled it straight out, rolling over and sitting up from the bed, looking at Severo and speaking aloud, “What are you doing clutching the doctor?”
Severo was quick to let go of the doctor and leaned over to sit on the edge of the bed, his voice much softer: “Why are you sitting down?
“I got dizzy lying down.” Allyce leaned back and leaned against the headboard.
The doctor, who was standing behind Severo, stepped forward at the right moment and said: “Sir, don’t worry too much, your wife only has a mild concussion, she will be in hospital for a week for observation …”.
Hearing this, Severo’s face changed instantly: “What do you mean, just a concussion isn’t serious?
Allyce couldn’t take it any longer and shouted, “Severo!
Severo was quick to reply: “I am here.
Allyce looked at him with a grimace and said, “Are you a doctor? If you’re not a doctor, you should cut the crap.
Severo raised his eyebrows and saw that Allyce didn’t look bad, and his eyebrows relaxed a little.
…
Apart from bruises and a small concussion, nothing else was wrong with Allyce.
But the situation was really dangerous.
The van was driven into her and she ran to the side just as an electric car came out and knocked Allyce into the air.
And thanks to that, she was saved from being run over by the van …
Allyce was silent for a moment, looked at Severo and said with a straight face: “Speaking of which, I have to thank the owner of that electric car”.
Severo spoke with a cold, emotionless face: “Thank you?
He had been kind enough not to disturb the owner of the car, but thank you? That was …
Allyce knew what Severo was thinking by the look on his face.
“If I hadn’t been hit by that electric car, I don’t know if I’d still be sitting here talking to you”.
She took a deep breath, still frightened at the thought of what had happened.
Severo’s eyes grew cold and he reached out to take her in his arms without speaking.
It was then that Allyce fainted as she was pushed out of the way.
But he saw it, and the van tried to keep going through.
If I hadn’t run in time …
the consequences would have been unimaginable.
He couldn’t help but tighten his arms a little tighter around Allyce.
Allyce was really a bit scared, and really felt that she might die at that moment.
I was even more scared than I was two years ago.
At the time, I was disillusioned with Severo.
And now …
He clenched his hands, as if he had made some kind of determination, and slowly released them, then pushed Severo away.
Severo reached out and touched his head, asking, “What’s the matter?
Allyce bit her lip and looked into Severo’s implicitly concerned eyes as a flash of determination crossed her mind.
He spoke hesitantly, his voice a little smaller: “Do you know Ariela, …?”.
As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she almost wanted to pray that Severo hadn’t heard her.
But Severo’s sudden look let her know that he had heard her.
Severo’s face changed several times before finally returning to calm, except that his voice was a little dry: “How did you know?”
His words made Allyce’s heart stutter.
Her voice trembled a little: “Don’t ask me how I know, it’s … known anyway …”
“Gabrio told you?” His voice was strangely soft, and there was no panic in his expression at being torn apart.
His calmness affected Allyce and she nodded.
Her voice was less shaky, but still vaguely uneasy: “Gabrio said that the victim was Ariela”.
Severo spoke slowly: “That was my mother”.
