On the other hand, it turns out that Severo had health problems at the time, so he took advantage of the situation and used what Laurinda had done to make Allyce angry, to make her angry, to make her disappointed and to make the divorce even easier later on.
Severo has always been a very reflective person, and Allyce can’t really understand what he is thinking.
If he didn’t say anything, Allyce wouldn’t be able to guess what was going on behind the scenes.
As Allyce thought about this, she felt her heart ache with anger and pain.
“Yes.
Severo only responded indifferently, without saying much.
Alonzo looked at Allyce curiously and, probably sensing Allyce’s change of mood, reached out and touched her face, calling her “mama …” in a milky voice.
The gesture had a reassuring tone.
Allyce’s heart skipped a beat and she hugged Alonzo a little tighter, pressing a kiss to his tender cheek before smiling.
At that moment, the car also stopped in front of a villa.
Allyce had been thinking about something earlier, so she hadn’t noticed the surroundings, and it was only now that she thought it looked a little familiar.
Allyce turned her head to look at Severo: “Is this the area of Guan Yuan Village?
Severo continued to answer tersely: “Yes”.
It was familiar to him because his family’s old villa was in this area, as was Gabrio’s house.
He then led Alonzo out of the car and stood in front of it waiting for Allyce to get out.
As he had done on his previous visit, the driver and bodyguard stood outside and waited while he went in with Allyce and Alonzo.
Allyce watched him take the fingerprints and followed him into Victorino’s research room.
Allyce’s face was full of surprise as she entered.
Looking at the villa, it didn’t look much different from a normal residential house, but I didn’t expect Victorino’s research room to be here.
Although Allyce didn’t know much about it, he could guess that this advanced instrument room was also worth a lot of money.
“Sir, ma’am”.
At that moment, Victorino came out of the inner room in his white coat, his face still meticulous.
“Sit down for a while, I’m going to sterilise it and then we can start”. Victorino said and took the disinfectant and started to disinfect.
Allyce’s hand holding Alonzo tightened abruptly, and when she looked down to see, Alonzo had squeezed her thighs together and was hiding behind her.
Alonzo was scared.
He couldn’t help but call Severo.
Severo looked at Allyce again and also realised Alonzo’s perversity, reached out and lifted Alonzo up.
As soon as he landed in Severo’s arms, Alonzo wrapped him tightly around him and did not let go, probably because he was frightened by the cold instruments and the serious atmosphere of the research room.
Severo whispered: “Don’t worry, it’s just a physical, you’ll be fine soon.
“It’s time to start. Victorino, on the other side of the room, had already made all the preparations.
Alonzo refused to cooperate and cried throughout the proceedings.
Allyce’s heart felt like pins and needles as she saw Alonzo’s small body lying there crying.
But I knew that was nothing, what really mattered were the results.
By the time Alonzo was examined, the afternoon had passed.
Victorino said as he took off his gloves: “I will send the results to Cloudy Bay when they return.”
Severo just nodded and took Alonzo away.
Without realising it, Allyce suddenly reached out and pulled Severo, “You’re here, so check him out too.
Severo paused slightly and said calmly: “There’s nothing to check, it’s just an old problem”.
Allyce smiled and said: “It’s no big deal, by the way.
It seemed to him that she must have seemed unusually determined, if not a little shrill, at the time.
Severo watched her for a long time and said: “It’s getting late and Alonzo is tired, so let’s go home and come back another time.
Allyce didn’t care what he said and addressed Victorino directly: “Doctor Griego, could you examine Severo?
Victorino knew in his heart what Allyce intended and said nothing, just looked at Severo.
The atmosphere was somewhat stagnant.
Allyce looked determined and Victorino waited for Severo to speak, while Severo lightly broke Allyce’s hand: “Go home”.
His attitude was clear, and at this juncture he remained silent.
It was almost as if he was hopelessly stubborn.
Allyce thought about what she had done, and though she was angry and heartbroken, she couldn’t bear to force it.
He opened the door and walked straight out.
Severo looked again at Victorino, who must have said something, otherwise Allyce had not noticed the matter for so long, and now why was he being examined.
“It was Mr. Pastrano who came to the door to ask me about it, and I think the lady must have been in contact with Mr. Pastrano. Sir, they are people close to you, you wish them well, of course they wish you well, maybe you think you are doing the best for them, but maybe not for them, I haven’t told them about your situation, maybe you can talk to them yourself”.
Victorino said a strange long string of words, and when he finished he turned and pulled out a box of pills from somewhere, “Now switch to these, they have fewer side effects”.
In Severo’s case, he felt a little helpless.
If an effective suppressant could not be developed this time, only the last resort could be used.
…
On the way back, neither of them said a word and Alonzo fell asleep in the car.
After Allyce woke Alonzo for dinner and put him back to sleep, Severo made his way in.
Severo had lost some weight in the meantime, his face was still a little pale, but his eyes were still sharp and he seemed in good spirits, and Allyce came to wonder if she was thinking too much, if Severo wasn’t really ill.
She turned around to go to the bathroom, but Severo suddenly came up to her and hugged her tightly, saying softly, “Wife”.
He usually called her by her first name, but only when he was in bed did he whisper “wife” in a flirtatious manner.
Allyce’s heart fluttered inexplicably.
Severo didn’t wait for Allyce’s reaction before he said, “There’s nothing really wrong with me, I was accidentally drugged when I went out on an errand … Victorino has been working on an effective suppressant, he’s a very good doctor, I’m sure he’ll be able to work on it soon. get to it and it’ll be fine anyway, that’s why I didn’t tell you”.
His casual tone failed to convince Allyce that things were as simple as he claimed.
