Severo sat alone in the hallway for a long time before getting up and heading for the kitchen.
Allyce was frying a steak.
Her long curly hair was casually tied back in a loosely tied ponytail at the back of her head, exposing her pale ears, with an apron tied around her body, her whole body looked unusually soft, a housewife’s attire.
Severo came up behind her quietly and was about to reach out and hug her when she turned around as if she had a feeling.
Allyce was startled to see Severo standing behind her.
“You scared me, you don’t know how to walk with a little noise!” Allyce exhaled, clearly stunned.
Severo raised an eyebrow and blinked, his face obviously expressionless but showing a hint of innocence.
Allyce bristled, thinking she’d seen the devil to think Severus was playing innocent with her.
“Is lunch ready yet?” Severo looked around for a moment and said in a weak voice, “The steak is getting old.”
Allyce saw again that the steak was cooked without a trace of blood and exclaimed: “Ah, my steak!
And in panic, he served the steak.
“It’s too old to fry, this steak is for you.” Allyce said hatefully to Severo as she served the steak.
Dita had lived here all her life and loved the steak medium rare. Allyce had counted down the time to fry it, but by the time Severo came out, the steak was old.
Allyce was about to fry another one for Dita when she saw that Severo was still motionless and said: “Have you finished talking about your business?
“Yes.” Severo replied weakly, still not moving.
“I want to go to the hospital to see Oliveria,” Allyce said the idea that was on her mind.
Severo didn’t object, he just asked: “When?
“When do you have time to come with me? Allyce asked in turn.
“Whenever you want”.
“Good”.
…
At lunch, Severo shoved the steak in front of Xabat with an expressionless face. “The doctor told me that you’ve been having intestinal problems lately and that you need to eat cooked food.
Xabat looked at the fully cooked steak that Severo pushed at him, and expressionlessly took his own portion of rare steak from Severo, “Thank you for your concern, boss”.
A rare steak is the best! Where is rare?
Fully cooked steaks are the worst! It was like chewing grass.
How long has he had a bad stomach? Which doctor said that?
However, Xabat could only say these things in his heart.
Having lived under Severo’s oppression for so long, he did not even dare to resist.
“Xabat, have you had a bad stomach lately?” Allyce raised her head and looked at Xabat with concern in her voice.
Xabat was about to speak when Severo interrupted her: “With Victorino around, this little problem will soon be cured.
Allyce thought it made sense and nodded without asking any more questions.
Xabat looked down with a bitter grimace and cut his steak.
He was still trying to get some sympathy from his wife, right?
But Severo would not give him that opportunity.
Could there be a more bitter man than him!
…
When Allyce talked to Severo at lunchtime about going to see Oliveria in the hospital, Severo took it to heart and went with her to the hospital in the afternoon.
Oliveria had been with Tagus as his personal physician for most of his life, all unmarried, and Tagus still harboured some gratitude towards her.
That is why, after Oliveria’s accident, Tajo arranged for her to be admitted to a luxurious private hospital.
When Allyce got out of the car at the entrance to the hospital, she looked at the building and said enthusiastically, “Grandpa takes Dr. Betances very seriously.
Severo stood behind her and his lips curved into a grim curve as he replied indifferently, “Hmm”.
His grandfather did value his men.
The two walked straight into Oliveria’s living room.
At the door they also saw two bodyguards guarding the room.
The bodyguards had been arranged by Tajo and, naturally, they knew Allyce and Severo.
Seeing them approaching, the bodyguard hastily crouched down and said, “Master Severo, Miss Delahoz”.
Allyce let go of the hand holding Qin Mu’s arm, stepped forward and said with a smile, “We’d like to go in to see Dr. Betances.
The bodyguard sniffed and opened the door to the room respectfully.
“Thank you.” Allyce nodded her head in thanks before dragging Severo inside.
The room was spacious and bright.
Allyce approached the bed and saw Oliveria, who was covered in several tubes.
Her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and she lay there alone and thin, as if lifeless.
Allyce’s heart fluttered slightly.
In his most hateful moments he had wondered why these people did not go to their deaths.
He had said something about Oliveria that day, but he hadn’t really thought about how to get back at her.
Since Alonzo had returned to them, he had had a reverence for life.
The fact that Alonzo had returned to them was a gift from God and she was grateful for it, so she had no thoughts of doing anything more to Oliveria.
And indeed, I no longer had that possibility.
Oliveria was in a hospital bed and she could not do anything else to a sick person.
Allyce and Severo had been in the room less than five minutes when Oliveria’s doctor, a middle-aged woman with glasses, arrived.
The middle-aged doctor had dark, J-typical features.
His hair was meticulously combed, and on the bridge of his high nose he wore satin-rimmed gold-rimmed spectacles, his eyes were no longer clear and translucent with age, his body was covered by a simple white dressing gown, and his expressionless face seemed very impersonal.
Only when he saw Severo did a hint of surprise appear on his impersonal face: “Mr. Randy!”
Allyce had rarely heard anyone call Severo by his name in English and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
It was clear that the doctor knew Severo.
He said with a look of excitement: “Is it really you? How lucky I am.
The doctor spoke in English and could not stop talking for a moment.
Allyce sighed, she had forgotten that Severo was a diamond king and that his status and position were enough for many people to respect him.
Severo’s gaze did not relent, he simply spoke indifferently: “Doctor, we are here to visit a patient”.
“I’m sorry, I’m so excited to meet you in person for the first time”. The doctor’s face showed slight modesty.
He approached the bed and looked at Oliveria’s condition before saying, “Lady Betances is in a terrible state, she has only woken up once so far and she is delirious.
The doctor spoke with a tone of regret.
