“At Orco Mount, the person who was dying to jump off the cliff was you Theresa, what does it have to do with me? I can’t afford such a trumped up charge. Besides, you like Peter so much, now take advantage of this opportunity to take good care of him, maybe he will appreciate you and fall in love with you after he wakes up, then, I wish you two grow old together.”
Adriana shows no warmth or concern for anything right now.
If there were, it would be just two children.
As expected, Theresa immediately changed her mind and spoke with the children, “Even if you don’t care about Peter, you should also care about the two children ah. The two of them have not seen you and Peter for half a month, this matter has been hidden from the outside world, who does not know. But … if you wait a while longer for Peter to not appear, the Alston Group will be in chaos, and the two children will be very worried about Peter and you.”
Such a painstaking Theresa is something Adriana has never seen before, as if she is trying to set her and Peter back together.
It’s just that Adriana knows Theresa too well to know that her purpose is not pure nor simple.
“Tell me, what exactly is your purpose?”
“I … I …”
Theresa didn’t expect Adriana to have any trust in her, so she bit her lip, hesitated for a moment and said, “I just don’t want Peter to be in a coma, he’s the man I love so much, do I have to watch him lie down for the rest of his life?”
“Nothing to do with me.”
Adriana walked to the sofa and sat down, poured herself a cup of tea and said: “Whether he lives or dies, it’s all fate. The two children are my own, and if he is not there or does not want the children, I will take them away. With my ability, I have absolutely no problem raising two children.”
“You …”
Theresa was speechless, “Adri, you’ve changed, become so strange and heartless to me.”
Sighed, “Just, you can pretend that I have not come today, later Peter woke up, I will definitely tell him all these things.”
He raised the phone he was recording in his hand, as if to provoke Adriana.
Theresa expected Adriana to be angry, to be furious, and yet she wasn’t.
Adriana just guffawed, “Feel free, as long as you’re happy.”
She watched Theresa leave and saw the helplessness and confusion that appeared on her cheeks as she turned around, and her heart swelled with irony.
After all the people left, Adriana stayed at home alone, drinking alone on the balcony until sunset, when she just got up, packed her things and went out.
Half an hour later, she appeared in front of the hospital.
Looking at the crowded hospital, she sat in the car, silent for a while before calling Alvin and asking about Peter’s ward.
Went to the inpatient department and knocked on the door at the entrance of the senior VIP ward.
“Come in.”
Theresa’s voice came from inside.
Adriana had a moment of hesitation, but pushed the door and walked in.
Standing inside the ward, Theresa was a little surprised to see Adriana, “Why are you … here? Aren’t you not coming over.”
Adriana glanced at Theresa and walked straight to the bed, looking at the Peter who was lying quietly on the bed. Despite the passage of half a month, Peter’s cheek was still conspicuous by the scars scraped by the thorns.
“Why is he unconscious and you Rene unharmed?” Adriana asked.
So high cliff fall, Theresa just suffered some internal injuries, unconscious for a day to wake up, Peter is still slow to wake up.
“Me? Actually, the moment I fell off the cliff I realized how much Peter cared for me. You know, he jumped off the cliff without a care in the world, hugged me and held me tightly in his arms, not letting me get half hurt, I was really very touched.”
Theresa deliberately made a big show of so-called ‘love’ in front of Adriana.
Adriana did not speak, just quietly standing aside, hanging at the side of the hands slightly moved, for a moment wanted to raise his hand to gently caress Peter’s familiar, deep in the mind can not forget the face, but in the end still resisted.
“Peter, it’s been half a month, and you’re still going to sleep through it? Are you saying that everything you’ve said is nonsense? Everything between us could care less, but, I hope you should take the responsibility of being a father, you know? You …”
She stood there talking to Peter, Theresa just stood there, wanting to interject but not squealing, just picking up her phone and editing a cell phone text message and sending it.
Bang–
With a sudden loud bang, the door of the room was opened vigorously.
When Adriana looked back, she found Sloane standing in the doorway of the hospital room.
Although her body is injured, but the wound is in the waist and abdomen position, as long as you are careful or you can get up.
“Adriana, you bitch, who asked you to come and see my brother? You’re the reason he’s the way he is today, and you have the nerve to come over and see him?”
Sloane is unusually angry, a small face grim and twisted, with a cold chill, as if Adriana dug their family ancestral graves, can not be forgiven.
Adriana deep indifferent glance at Sloane, the mind can not help but recall that day in prison suffered all, can not help but clench both fists, the face cold a few points.
Without speaking, she turned back to look at Peter on the bed again, “You get some rest, I’ll go back first.”
Originally, I just wanted to come and see Peter, but I didn’t expect Sloane to be in the hospital.
Thought Sloane had gone home to recover from his injuries by this time.
“Back to what?”
Sloane covered the wound and came towards Adriana, “I tell you, today you will not leave. You haven’t said anything about me yet, don’t you dare to leave?”
She stood in Adriana’s way, somewhat arrogantly.
Theresa on the side saw the two tit-for-tat, a flash of sharpness under the eyes, the corners of the lips slightly hooked, a few imperceptible smile.
Turning around and with a worried face, he advised, “Sloane, no matter what, Adriana is your sister-in-law, you treat her like this, if Peter knows, he will definitely blame you. You also know that Peter is so heartbroken about Adri’s …”
Although it is again to persuade peace, but the meaning of the words carefully analyzed out, is not only to stimulate Sloane.
Tell her that she, Sloane, is nothing in The Alston family, not as valuable as Adriana, her sister-in-law.
“Shut up.”
Sloane glared at her and growled, “You had something to do with this.”
With that, he glared at Adriana again and said angrily, “Apologize to me.”
“Apologize?”
Adriana smiled contemptuously, “Reason?”
What happened on the Orco Mount had nothing to do with her in the first place, and if she really wanted to apologize, the person who needed to apologize should be Sloane, not her.
“Look, you’re the one who caused all the gunshot wounds on me, you’re the one who got me into this mess, shouldn’t you apologize?”
“Heaven’s sins can be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins cannot be lived.”
Adriana threw in a comment, stepped around her and tried to walk away.
“Who told you to leave?”
