“They want to see you.”
Peter Road.
Adriana leaned over the bed, her face not looking too good, and raised a hand to ruffle her short hair, “Don’t want to see. raylan, send the guest.”
When she finished, she lay down on the bed and rested with her eyes closed.
Let Peter say anything else, she does not answer.
Eventually, Peter left.
Raylan stood by the hospital bed, watching the woman whose eyes were closed behind his back gradually open her eyes, and his heart ached.
“You’d better get some rest or how else are you going to face Helen and Luis?” said Raylan, patting her on the shoulder, “I’ll go to my room first.”
Raylan placed a cup of hot water by her bedside and left.
When the door was closed, several bodyguards came to the door, he immediately ordered, “This is the place, keep a good guard, no matter who comes over today can not go in!”
“Yes, Mr. Powell.”
Several people nodded repeatedly before Raylan went back to his room to rest.
Not long after, Sloane arrived.
“Is Lawson in there?”
“No comment.”
“Cut, do you know who I am? My brother is Pet…”
“No matter who you are, you can’t go in.”
“Don’t go too far, you guys.”
Sloane threatened with some anger.
But I heard the bouncer say with a cold face, “If you don’t leave, don’t blame us for really going too far.”
She huffed and puffed and left.
Not long after, Harlee arrived as well.
Again, they were chased away after some pestering at the door.
Afterwards the family doctor came over to see Adriana and let in instead.
An hour later, there was another person at the door.
Alvin.
The bodyguards still refused, but a voice was heard from the suite, “Let him in.”
Alvin pushed the door open and walked in.
Just walked in and found Adriana walking out draped in a down jacket, sitting pale on the couch, smiling weakly towards him.
“Senior, you’re here?”
Alvin stalled in his movements and looked incredulously at the woman in front of him, “Adri, how did you … get yourself into this mess? What the hell happened?”
Inexplicably missing for several days, meet again to make himself into such a mess, how can he not be distressed?
Walking up to her, he raised his hand and placed it on her forehead, “Let me see if you’re running a fever?”
Sure enough, the hand touched on to find her forehead temperature was high, really feverish.
“I’m fine. A family doctor has come to see me just now, and gave me a fever-reducing injection, so I should be fine in a while.”
Adriana was not impressed.
“Adri, you’re hiding something from me, aren’t you?”
A hunch that Adriana must have some big secret she’s hiding and not telling her.
Adriana raised her hand and rubbed her brow, a little tired, “Senior, we are just friends, there are some things you shouldn’t interfere too much.”
She knows that Alvin is concerned about her, but at the same time Adriana doesn’t want Alvin to interfere too much.
Because, once involved in some things, it is not so easy to get out of it.
“Adri, you know I’m interested in you …”
Alvin was so anxious that he almost spat out some of his heartfelt words, but was glared back by Adriana with a stern look.
He choked on his words.
Adriana immediately said: “Alvin, from the very beginning I said that it was impossible between us. Not in the past and not in the future. You can stop thinking about me. If you say yes, we can still be friends, if not, we don’t even have to be friends.”
Her words were very decisive and heartless.
Alvin’s pupils flickered, ripples under his eyes, with some sadness, like a wounded moose, the sad eyes are enough to sting Adriana’s heart.
He was stunned for a moment and nodded, “Good, good, very good.”
It just says four words.
But Adriana clearly saw his hands clenched slightly at his side and, seemingly with the utmost courage, turned away.
With the sound of the door closing, Adriana’s hanging heart finally fell.
Alvin left, Adriana leaned on the sofa alone and closed her eyes, slender like green fingers rubbed her brow, feeling very tired.
Alvin had wasted too much time on her already, and she didn’t want to spend unnecessary time on Alvin on her.
In the evening, Adriana was lying in bed resting, who knew that the person just lay down, the phone rang.
She glanced at her cell phone number, it was Alvin’s, and wondered why she was calling her again.
Adriana subconsciously wanted to hang up, but in the end, she couldn’t bear to, so she answered the phone.
“Al…”
“Hello, are you a friend of the owner of the phone? He had a car accident, you hurry over for a moment.”
The sound of urgent talking came from the section of the phone.
“Car accident? How …”
She just wanted to ask about the details, but considering that it was the doctor who called, it was not good to ask too much, “Okay, I know, I’ll go there right away. Which hospital are you?”
“Waverly Hospital.”
…
After hanging up the phone, Adriana immediately got up from the bed, changed her clothes and left the suite.
Who knows, people just walked to the elevator entrance, a voice came from behind, “Where are you going?”
It’s Raylan.
“Alvin had a car accident, I had to go over there to check it out.”
Adriana tells it like it is.
“What’s your hurry? Look at yourself still dragging your illness to see others?”
He walked to Adriana’s heel, tall body blocked the dim light, shrouded in his body a thin layer of starbursts, looking extraordinarily clear and elegant, adding a little hazy beauty.
“Go back. I’ll go over and check it out.”
Raylan commanded in a cold voice.
Adriana gave him a disdainful blank look, “No need.”
“Stubborn and stubborn.”
He muttered and didn’t say another word, but chose to go with her to the hospital.
On the road, Raylan drove while muttering sullenly, “Think of this young master who is usually happy and at ease, but now he is actually reduced to being a driver for you.”
Shook his head, a little exasperated.
“You can do the passenger side and I’ll drive.”
Adriana replied mechanically, without any emotion.
“Get out of the way, your sickly look, let you drive, I’m in a hurry to throw in the towel?”
The words are spoken with a bit of casual and bantering meaning, very grounded.
Adriana elbows propped on the car door, chin, thoughtful look at Raylan, “on unnamed island, you are notoriously cold and arrogant, how only a year and a half of time not seen, found you … how rambling? ”
You should know that his cold and arrogant look, like a proud peacock, tail can be up to the sky.
She was more used to the Raylan of that time, but she found it a little hard to get used to the fact that he had suddenly become easy-going.
“Yeah, why be cold and proud at that time?”
The corners of his angular lips lifted in a curve, smiling to himself.
No one knows why, only he knows.
At first he was mercilessly thrown to the island, depressed mood all day, living in a frozen world, unable to untie the knot, the whole person is on the verge of emotional collapse.
It is only when I see Adriana that my emotions are relieved.
