And judging by Severo’s tone of voice, Allyce was right.
Amado Mejia was Grizzi’s man, but he had not been given the task of drugging Severo, otherwise Amado Mejia would be dead and Grizzi would not have sent another member of the organisation to take over the job.
All indications are that it was not Grizzi who targeted Severo.
Even if Grizzi targeted Severo, it was a conflict of interest, but Grizzi still did nothing.
Allyce frowned and asked, “So who could it be? Can you think of anyone?”
Severo reflected for a moment and then spoke: “It’s very late, I’m a bit tired, let’s go to bed”.
Indeed, it was late, as Severo was not well, and Allyce nodded hurriedly and said, “Good”.
Severo carefully tucked Alonzo in again before going to bed, and Allyce waited for Severo to do so before following his example.
It didn’t take long for Severo’s long breaths to arrive at his side.
He had fallen asleep very quickly and looked really tired.
But Allyce couldn’t sleep.
But he dared not turn around or move for fear of upsetting Severo.
Her mind wandered again and again to the scene where Severo had caught her when Amado Mejía had pushed her into the pit.
He was a little glad that at that moment he had some impulse in his heart to reconcile with Severo without further ado, otherwise how much time would he have wasted with Severo?
All the time I had tried to give Severo as little trouble as possible, to drag him down as little as possible.
But every time I suffered, it was her fault …
…
Allyce pushed open the door and saw Severo standing in front of the window with his back to her.
Allyce looked around the room and saw that Alonzo was not there.
As she walked towards Severo, she spoke in confusion, “Where is Alonzo? Where did he go?”
But Severo paid no attention to her, still standing at the window with his back to her, as still as a rock.
“Severo?”
She called out to him again and, getting no answer from him, quickened her pace and strided around him.
When she got a good look at Severo’s face, she couldn’t help but freeze.
“How did you change back?” He was surprised to find that Severo had returned to his former appearance, with no sign of ageing on his face.
How had he suddenly improved? Clearly, they had not yet come up with the antidote.
As she wondered, Severo, who was standing in front of her, suddenly lowered his head and the next moment saw his eye fall out, followed by the other, his hair and eyebrows began to fall out, and the skin on his face was rapidly losing blood ….
He watched the changes in Severo’s body with his eyes wide open, his whole body felt like it was blocked and he couldn’t move a single word even if he opened his mouth to speak.
Fear and despair invaded his whole body.
“Ah…”
Her eyes snapped open and Alonzo’s soft voice rang in her ears: “Mama!
Allyce slowly turned her head to look at Alonzo, who smiled at her before turning to Severo, who was standing behind her, “Dad, Mom’s awake.
“Mmm.” Severus stroked Alonzo’s little head before he walked over to Allyce and sat down, helping her up. “Have a glass of water first.”
Allyce stared at Severo in amazement.
Severo’s voice and appearance were a little older than yesterday, he looked as old as a man of half a hundred years, and Allyce timidly reached out and touched his face.
Warmth rose from her fingers and Allyce’s face showed relief that it was true.
Severo didn’t ask any more questions when he saw her like this, he simply lifted the cup to his lips.
“I’ll do it myself. Allyce reached out to bring the glass to him.
Instead, Severo moved his arm slightly and pushed the cup away, looking at it with a displeased expression.
Allyce withdrew her hand and opened her mouth to drink the water he handed her.
When the water was finished, Severo asked him: “Did you have a nightmare?
Allyce nodded.
He thought back to the nightmare and couldn’t help but look at Severo.
Nor had her eyes fallen out, her hair had disappeared and her face had aged a little more, And he fed her with water, he could still talk to her and he had given her a drink, she was alive …
While I was alive …
Seeing that Allyce kept looking at him, he couldn’t help but ask aloud: “What was the dream?
The next second, Allyce threw herself into his arms and hugged her tightly.
He didn’t say a word, but swore in his heart to do everything possible to keep Severo alive.
God would not be so cruel to them, there had to be another way.
The thought in Allyce’s mind became steadier and steadier.
The feeling of despair and fear that had gripped his heart in his dream was something he never wanted to feel again.
…
After breakfast, Allyce crossed off another day on her calendar.
One day less for Severo.
Allyce’s grip on her pen tightened unconsciously and fiercely.
Even if it wasn’t Grizzi’s people who were after Severo, they still had the antidote, so the important thing was to give them the LK Group.
Severo started with nothing and spent fourteen years becoming a financial tycoon in Europe.
And he had the Alvidrez Group and the Delahoz Group, which together were no match for the LK Group, but with Severo’s ability to rely on the Alvidrez Group and the Delahoz Group as a base, it would not take Severo fourteen years to build up his business empire again.
Allyce thought about it for a few minutes and then firmly established the idea in her mind.
At that moment his phone suddenly rang with a message.
He pulled it out and saw that it was a new email alert.
He didn’t use his email much, he had one dedicated to work when he worked and he had very few friends, his personal email had not been sent to anyone other than Lucila and Gabrio.
Puzzled, she clicked on her email and set about checking it.
When he saw the content of the email, his whole body froze on the spot.
“You want the antidote to the ‘K1LU73’ virus, take your child in exchange”.
Although the email contained only this simple sentence, there was a wealth of information in it.
“See what?”
Severo’s voice came from behind her, and Allyce unconsciously tried to push her phone away, but Severo had already knocked it out of her hand before she could do so.
When he read the contents of the email, his face suddenly sank.
He turned around and picked up his own phone to call Xabat.
“Get some people in here, I need to check an IP address”.
