Allyce got a response and quickly hung up to contact the others.
He called Neto, who seemed to be busy on his side, said he hadn’t seen him and hung up in a hurry.
Only Victorino’s place was left.
“Madam”.
“Doctor Griego, is Severo at home?”
Allyce ended up with a pang of nervousness in her heart.
If Severo was not here with Victorino, I did not know where to find Severo.
The company had also called and the secretary said that Severo had not been in the office since early in the morning.
“El señor was here this morning, where he went after he left I’m not sure”. Victorino finished unhurriedly and then asked, “What happened?”
Allyce’s heart had sunk.
He reached out to hold the edge of the table to one side and, instead of answering her immediately, continued, “Did he say anything when he came to your house? Was there anything very unusual about him?”
Victorino said frankly: “Without paying attention, he came over to get his medicine and after I gave it to him, he took it and left”.
He wasn’t really paying attention at the time, he just happened to be activating a device when Severo arrived, so he just took the medicine to him and didn’t ask much about it, and when he looked back, Severo was already gone.
“Got it.” Allyce said and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Allyce’s whole body went into a bit of a panic, where could Severo have gone?
The maid’s voice interrupted Allyce’s thoughts : “Madam, dinner is ready, do you wish to dine now?”
“Feel free to take the young master first, I’ll go up.” Allyce said and turned around to go upstairs.
He went to Severo’s studio.
The study was empty and Allyce headed straight for the desk before finding Severo’s phone lying quietly on it.
He had gotten up not too early and had taken care of Alonzo at breakfast before taking him out for a walk with the dog, returning almost at noon, and taking a nap with him after dinner ….
He did nothing else all day except spend time with Alonzo, but he had no free time, so he didn’t come to the studio to check on me either.
Severo got up early and didn’t even take his phone with him when he left the house, I don’t know if that was intentional or not.
Last night Severo went upstairs and served her water. He talks less, he talks with his actions, and the fact that he served her water was a move to reconcile with her.
If you think about it, there was no warning and no reason for him to suddenly disappear.
Couldn’t it have been some kind of accident?
Allyce’s mind was a whirlwind as she sat in the chair where Severo used to sit and called Xabat.
Xabat had just been hung up on by Allyce and had called twice more, only to be put on hold, so he had to wait for Allyce to call back.
So when Allyce called, Xabat got on the phone almost immediately.
“Ma’am! What’s the matter? Hasn’t the boss come home?”
Allyce asked with a glimmer of hope: “Do you know where he is? He left early this morning and didn’t have his phone with him, he went to Dr. Griego’s house and hasn’t come back yet.
Xabat was also surprised by his words, it was unusual that he didn’t even carry his mobile phone.
“I’ll have someone check it out, take it easy for now and I’ll call you if I hear anything.”
“Agreed”.
…
Allyce sat in the studio for a long time before getting up and leaving.
Alonzo should have finished eating, so let’s put him to bed first.
When Alonzo had gone to bed, Xabat’s call had not come.
At that moment, the sound of a car engine sounded outside the villa.
Allyce’s heart fluttered with joy.
Without thinking, he ran off in his slippers.
It was already dark and the lanterns in the courtyard were all lit, the light shining through the trees and hitting the ground in shadows, the heat of the day still lingered and Allyce felt the heat hit her as soon as she stepped outside.
As he ran outside, he shouted, “Severo!”
I was running fast.
When he stopped at the gate of the villa, the man in the car had just got out.
Tears fell from Allyce’s eyes as the long, happy figure appeared.
Severo got out of the car and looked up to see Allyce standing in the doorway, her eyes sparkling with surprise.
He approaches her with a reproachful tone: “Why are you here?
He said no more as he saw the tears streaming down Allyce’s face.
Allyce could no longer contain herself and threw herself straight into Severo’s arms: “Where have you been?
He lunged with some force, knocking Severo back two steps before he could steady himself.
He unconsciously wrapped his arms around her and reacted when he felt a warm liquid soaking the fabric of her chest.
He called softly to her, “Allyce?”
Allyce didn’t say anything either, she just hugged him tightly, still moaning and crying.
Severo patted him gently on the back and did not speak or move again, nor did the chauffeur and bodyguard behind him.
After an unknown amount of time, Allyce’s crying finally stopped and Severo picked her up and escorted her to the villa.
The chauffeur and bodyguard, who had been standing behind them, also followed them and went inside.
…
Once inside the villa, a servant greeted Severo: “Sir”.
“Get the ice packs.” Severo didn’t stop, he just ordered this.
Knowing that Alonzo slept in the bedroom, he took Allyce directly to the guest room.
He put Allyce on the bed and sat her down while a maid brought the ice packs.
Severo brought the ice bag closer and without looking back said, “Get out”.
Only when the maid came out did Severo go to the bed and sit down, taking the ice pack and putting it over Allyce’s eyes.
It was so cold that he took it off after a while.
Allyce sat on her knees on the bed, her eyes puffy as walnuts, red and staring at Severo, even the tip of her nose was red, and her eyes were watery, making her look pitiful.
Severo gave her a couple of compresses and couldn’t hold on any longer. He leaned down and kissed her eyes, then cupped her face and kissed her lips, making Allyce gasp before releasing her and reaching out to touch her face, “I’ve only been out one day, how come you’ve become as clingy as Alonzo?”
Allyce pursed her lips and her voice took on a sobbing tone again, “I thought you’d gone, that you weren’t coming back”.
Severo’s brow furrowed fiercely, “What are you talking about? You and Alonzo are here, where can I go?
Allyce snorted twice and said: “Why didn’t you take the phone with you?
Severo’s eyes blinked slightly, then he narrowed them and said softly: “I forgot, I won’t do it anymore.
