Allyce was both excited and scared.
As soon as Victorino left, Allyce rushed over to Severo and asked nervously, “How are you feeling?
Severo was silent for a moment before saying aloud, “Bad taste”.
“Is there anything else?” Allyce was nervous about what Victorino had told her earlier.
Severo shook his head in response.
She was slightly relieved to see that Severo seemed no different, and so she helped Severo to rest.
It wasn’t long before Xabat and Neto approached as well.
Allyce had also contacted them before, when Victorino had come to tell them he had the recipe.
Both knew that Victorino would develop the antidote today and both rushed to go as well.
Neto, who was in the lead, asked as soon as he entered: “How did it go?
“I have just taken the medicine and I have to observe, Dr. Griego is exhausted from the last few days and has returned to rest. Allyce glanced at Severo, who was lying on the bed, and spoke to explain.
Neto sniffed and approached the bed, his brow furrowed in vague concern as he looked at Severo’s face, which was showing more and more age.
Severo had not been asleep either, but had simply closed his eyes and sat up at the sound of their voices.
Lifting his eyes, he saw Neto and Xabat standing a short distance away and spoke faintly, “I’m coming.”
“Boss.” Xabat saw this and rushed over to him.
Severo spoke with a calm face: “I’m fine here, you’ll have to take care of the company and Kimdis.
Allyce looked at Xabat and said nothing.
Xabat’s words from the other day were still ringing in his ears, and he knew Xabat was too nervous about Severo to say what he said, but it was still a little awkward for them to meet now.
Xabat nodded slightly and said solemnly: “Well, don’t worry.
Xabat did not take long to leave, and before he did he shot a look of disbelief at Allyce, but without another word, he turned and walked away.
…
Victorino soon arrived back in the room, looking very fresh, his hair still damp and in a hurry to get there.
Neto asked Victorino a few questions before leaving.
Victorino gave Severo a thorough check-up, taking detailed notes on his health.
He was not 100% sure about the antidote, as it had not been tested on humans, and there were no other reactions in animals at the moment, but it was difficult to say whether there would be side effects in humans.
Although he had told Allyce to watch Severo around the clock, the reality was that he also watched Severo almost around the clock.
Allyce knew Victorino was tired these days, so while Victorino went to watch Severo there, she went to the kitchen to cook.
After dinner, Severo went to bed very early.
Only when Victorino returned too, Allyce took Alonzo to bathe and put him to bed.
But I was not sleepy.
She sat in a single armchair next to the bed, and the sound of Alonzo and Severo’s breathing in her ears made her feel calmer in the darkness.
But his heart was still troubled.
She didn’t know how long she sat on the sofa, but eventually she fell asleep on it.
Allyce woke up early the next morning, just as dawn was breaking.
“Ha …”
He heard a movement in his bed and turned his head to look, by the dim light he saw that Alonzo had woken up and was plucking his hand and playing with it, he seemed in a good mood and made a meaningful unintelligible sound from time to time.
“Alonzo?”
Allyce walked over to the bed and sat down, stroking Alonzo’s head.
When Alonzo looked up and saw Allyce, he reached out his hands to her and called softly, “Mama.
Allyce looked at Severo, who seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Lifting Alonzo gently, Allyce kissed his tender little face and whispered, “Do you want to go back to sleep? If you don’t, Mommy will get you dressed, okay?
Alonzo followed suit and whispered, “Yes”.
He said “yes” so clearly that Allyce laughed at him and took him to the couch to start dressing him.
Alonzo is a little boy, he sleeps and wakes up early and is in a good mood.
Allyce went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast and he followed her with his toy car, muttering to himself and wondering what she was saying.
Allyce lights a slow fire to fry the eggs and from time to time looks into Severo’s sleeping room.
At that moment, Alonzo suddenly spoke: “Tia”.
Allyce froze and turned her head to look at him, “What’s the matter, you miss your aunt?”
“Yes.” Alonzo saw that he had Allyce’s attention and nodded vigorously.
I had gotten to know Allyce and Severo well, but I had lived with Delfina for a long time and inevitably I still missed her a bit, at first I missed her more, but now I didn’t mention it much.
Allyce smiled and said, “Next time we’ll take you to play with your aunt, OK?
“Yes!” Alonzo’s eyes lit up and he looked happy.
Allyce set about putting out the fire and serving the omelette inside, before bending down and lifting Alonzo up, “Come on, let’s get daddy up to bed for breakfast.”
The light was much brighter now.
Allyce approached the bed and was surprised to see that Severo looked much younger than yesterday.
The antidote that Victorino had developed actually worked.
He repressed his joy and reached out to nudge Severo, “Time to get up for breakfast”.
Severo lay motionless in bed, showing no sign of coming to his senses.
Allyce blushed: “Severo, it’s time to get up and have breakfast.
Despite raising his voice, Severo still did not wake up.
How is this possible?
Although Severo was usually a heavy sleeper, he would have woken up when she called out to him so loudly.
His heart sank to the bottom, and the joy he felt at the sight of Severo’s rejuvenated face dissipated.
With a trembling hand he probed Severo’s nostrils.
Feeling the warmth in her hand, Allyce’s heart, which had already leapt into her throat, fell back into her heart.
She called out loudly to Severo several times, and Alonzo shouted “daddy” several times, but Severo did not wake up.
Allyce’s heart sank hard, and then she sat up violently.
Yes, I had to go and look for Victorino.
He had just stood up when the door to the room was pushed open from the outside.
