Victorino had a brief moment of surprise when he saw Severo.
I hadn’t thought Severo would come to him.
He took off his gloves and turned his head towards Severo: “What brings the gentleman here when he has the time?
Without looking at the time, he frowned slightly.
What was Severo doing here with him at this hour when he wasn’t at home having dinner?
Anyway, he doesn’t think Severo has anything better to do than drop by.
Victorino took a seat opposite Severo and raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at Severo’s slightly sombre face.
Severo didn’t know what had occurred to him, but his brow furrowed and he spoke only after a long moment: “Did you talk to Allyce?”
“What do you mean?”
Victorino finished his question and then reacted to what Severo’s words meant.
If I had not known Severo for so many years, the tone of his speech, timid and always unintelligible, would have been incomprehensible to the average person.
Victorino nodded with a stony face: “Yes, he spoke to her”.
Severo asked about the side effects of the antidote “K1LU73”.
As soon as he asked that question, Victorino knew why he was here.
“How do you feel now?” said Victorino, and he got up and went to switch on a couple of instruments, looking as if he was going to examine Severo.
The side effects of the antidote “K1LU73” are somewhat ominous, as it interferes with the nerves of the human brain.
Severo is naturally proud at heart, and being emotionally affected by the side effects of the drug does him no credit.
So, when Severo did not initiate the conversation, Victorino did not say anything to be examined either.
How does it feel?
Severo spoke with an expressionless face: “I killed Gabrio. ”
Victorino had never heard of their quarrel, but Gabrio’s name was familiar to him.
He frowned for a moment before remembering, wasn’t this the man his wife had grown up with as a childhood friend?
He is also said to be a doctor.
Considering how much he pampered his wife, it is surprising that he now completely ignores Mrs. Bermudes’ feelings and kills Gabrio …
Indeed, he is more cold-blooded than before.
“The lady must be very upset. Victorino turned the instruments on full blast before turning to Severo.
Severo gave him a cold look: “Now he hates me”.
Although Victorino had never been afraid of her, he shuddered at the cold, chilling look she gave him.
He asked Severo in another direction: “Why did you kill him?
“He was the leader of the ‘K7’ team, he was responsible for the ‘K1LU73’ virus, and he’s still obsessed with Allyce, so what’s wrong with me killing him?”
Severo’s last words are tinged with a very superficial hint of doubt, again as if he is looking to Victorino for approval.
Victorino made no noise for a while.
Only after he had finally digested the shocking news did he nod: “Yes, you have done nothing wrong”.
He was also close to Severo and had seen a lot of this kind of thing, so he was able to accept it.
But …
“He had to die for you, but he was a very important person for his wife”. Victorino was not afraid of Severo’s anger and said whatever came to his mind.
The next moment, Severo narrowed his eyes dangerously and took a glass from his hand: “Someone important? I’m the one who matters to him.
“Gabrio and his wife grew up together, and even if she no longer felt anything for him because of this, she wouldn’t want to see him die”.
“What affection has she for Gabrio? She is my wife, it is enough that she has feelings for me!” Severo’s face grew grimmer and grimmer, but his tone was serious.
“That’s right.” Victorino placed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, “So, what exactly is the lord’s purpose in coming here today?”
Severo paused: “If I’m right, why does he hate me?
“Because, in addition to being your wife, she also has other identities, other friends, people who care …”
“All it has to be is my wife, what is so important to others?”
Severo could not contain his hostility at the thought that Allyce had shed tears for Gabrio.
Victorino does not speak.
He had finally seen the side effects of the antidote “K1LU73”.
It can really change a person’s temperament, as if they were a different person.
How could old Severus, who was so thoughtful and discreet, say such unreasonable and authoritative things?
“Now that I am here, I will examine you first.” Victorino did not want to argue with him.
“No, you give me some medicine for bruises.” Severus frowned, a contemplative gleam in his eye, not knowing what had occurred to him again.
During the trip, he wondered if he had been affected by the side effects of the K1LU73 antidote, but Victorino had also said he had done nothing wrong.
In that case, I did not need to take the test.
Victorino sniffed, sighed imperceptibly and went to fetch his medicine.
…
After Severo left, Dita came by the room and brought food for Allyce.
Allyce had already showered and changed into her pyjamas.
“Thank you.
When he saw Dita bring him the food, he did not refuse it, but thanked her and began to eat.
What happened between her and Severo was an unnecessary distraction for other people.
She was still upset about Gabrio, but Dita and the girls were really worried about her and there was no need to worry them.
Dita is relieved to see that Allyce is willing to eat.
“You’re thinner than when you arrived, you should eat more.” Dita sat looking at her with a smile on her face.
Allyce pursed her lips, tried to say something, hesitated and lowered her head again.
Dita is a woman with a delicate mind, and although Allyce says nothing, she knows what Allyce wants to ask.
“I asked my brother, when he came back it was all over, all he saw was Gabrio being loaded into the car, he asked his men, the shot was right in the chest but it didn’t break, he couldn’t be sure if he was really dead.”
In fact, he asked some of his men at the time, and although they were not broken, it was basically impossible for them to survive.
But, with Allyce and Severo so deadlocked, what if she were to say something like this that might ease their relationship?
In any case, they could not keep the matter of Gabrio’s death for the rest of their lives.
She understands Allyce, but her heart goes out to Severo.
After all, Severo was his and his brother’s saviour, and after all these years together, he was no different from the family.
Severo is worried about Allyce, and she and her brother will have to help Severo to get it.
“Is it true what you said?” As soon as Allyce heard Dita say that, she couldn’t even care less about her food, she dropped the chopsticks in her hand immediately and looked at her in astonishment.
