The doctor explained Oliveria’s situation to Allyce and Severo.
It was just as Lorenzo had said, Oliveria was in a bad way.
Whether Oliveria would wake up or not, and even if she did, she would not return to normal.
After learning of Oliveria’s condition, Allyce and Severo did not stay any longer and left immediately.
They had just arrived at the hospital entrance when they met Tajo.
Allyce and Severo walked out side by side, slightly distracted because she was still thinking about Oliveria.
Only when Severo stopped suddenly did Allyce turn her head to look at him.
Following Severo’s gaze, he saw that Saul and the bodyguard were following him.
Not far behind them, a black Bentley was parked.
It was clear that Tajo was sitting on it.
It seemed that Tajo was waiting for Severo.
If Tajo wanted to see Severo, all he had to do was make a phone call. Why did he come to wait here?
Allyce and Severo stopped at the same time, Severo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in Tajo’s direction, pausing for a few seconds before turning back to Allyce and saying: “Go wait for me in the car.
Allyce sniffed, looked away, and replied, “OK”.
Severo put the car keys in his hand and headed towards Tajo.
Allyce stood in place for a moment before turning around and returning to the car.
…
When Severo reached Tajo’s car, a bodyguard stepped forward to open the door for him.
He was as respectful as ever.
Severo sat down and did not look at Tajo, his face was indifferent: “If you have something to say, say it”.
Tajo’s face was tense and his sharp gaze was directed at Severo: “What good will it do you to do this?”
“You make it clear.” Severus finally turned his head to look at him, his deep eyes seemed to contain a beast capable of devouring a man, mysterious and somewhat terrifying.
Tajo’s heart fluttered violently.
I had always known that Severo was a difficult person to control, and I thought I could see through him.
Even when Severo occasionally did something he didn’t expect, he had dismissed it as an accident, but he never thought he would lose to Severo.
But this time the Oliveria incident finally made him realise the crisis.
Severo didn’t seem to understand anything and Tajo’s face changed slightly as he gritted his teeth and said: “Oliveria”.
The corners of Severo’s lips curved imperceptibly at his words.
He spoke with a wry smile, “Oh? Now you care about your people? Dr. Betances has been with you most of her life, nameless and wanting nothing more, and this is what you end up with?”
Tajo’s eyes widened and he looked at Severo in disbelief: “What are you talking about?
His face was full of irritation at having been exposed.
Severo looked out of the window.
Through the window, he saw Allyce sitting in the car playing with her phone and turned his head to look at Tajo again, and felt bored.
He no longer bothered to beat around the bush with Tajo and spoke directly: “Oliveria was your lover and had been following you since before grandma died, and because of that condition she dared to hide Allyce’s medical report two years ago…”
“So you let a poisonous snake bite her! To make her look like that!” Tajo’s face wobbled with an expression of some embarrassment and some resentment.
“Or what?” Severo scoffed, “If you can’t handle it, I’ll help you, who made us both take the surname Betances?”
Tajo and Oliveria’s relationship was not a secret, it was just that everyone kept it to themselves.
It wasn’t until Allyce returned to him two years later that he learned what had really happened two years earlier.
He only had time to deal with Izar, the man who started it all, but not with Oliveria.
Having kept his wife separated for two years, he was not going to let them off the hook so easily.
“You, you …” Tajo pointed at Severo, unable to speak.
“You are here, there will be more young and beautiful women in the future, no need to mourn for an old woman, she deserves it all …”
The last words were spoken in a particularly soft tone, as if he were saying them to himself.
He said this because he knew that Oliveria was more than a woman to Tajo.
For Tajo, Oliveria was a woman who had been with Tajo for more than ten years, who had always done her best to take care of him, who had devoted herself to him until she died.
Although Tajo is not a warm-hearted man, he still has feelings for such a woman.
Tajo was so angry he couldn’t even speak.
Severo seemed satisfied: “Grandfather, you must take care of yourself”.
He said this lightly and got out of the car and drove off.
…
Allyce waited in the car for a while before she saw Severo walking towards her.
As soon as Severo got into the car, he immediately started it up: “Let’s go”.
Allyce couldn’t help but look behind her.
Seeing that Tajo’s car was still in place, Allyce turned his head and saw Severo looking calm and wondered what he and Tajo had been talking about together.
“What did you and Grandpa talk about?” asked Allyce curiously.
“We had a little chat about the party over the weekend.” Severo turned his head to look at her, a very faint but gentle smile on his face.
Allyce curled up: “Oh”.
She had spent some time at Solares castle and naturally knew that occasional gatherings were the norm in the family.
“Are we going too?” Allyce thought that by leaving the Solares family, she would be able to deal with these people less frequently.
But from Severo’s tone of voice, he sounded like he was ready to go to a party.
Luckily, Severo asked instead of answering: “Don’t you want to go?
Allyce said nothing.
When the traffic light came on, Severo reached out to Allyce in the gap between stops, with a hint of reassurance in his tone: “Just think of it as a normal party.
Allyce’s gaze rested on Severo’s bony fingers and he nodded in response: “Yes”.
If he wanted to go, so be it.
In any case, there was nothing to fear.
…
On the evening of the weekend, Severo and Allyce returned to Solares Castle by car.
Most of the family was already there when they arrived.
The hall seemed very crowded because there were a lot of family members.
There were also some of the younger generation who had brought their friends to play.
Allyce saw this and asked Severo: “And you can bring friends to play?
Severo said nothing, silence meant acquiescence.
Allyce thought about it and said, “I should have brought Xabat and Dita as well”.
“Don’t bring them. Severo’s expression was a little lofty.
