Adriana doesn’t know what Vivian’s relationship is with the previous generation of the Henderson Family, but in any case, staying away from the Henderson Family is the best option.
It is best to avoid further accidents and not to contact the party again.
After bugging Vivian, Adriana went downstairs.
“Where’s Anne?”
Looking at Peter standing in front of him, but the two children are missing with Anne.
Surrounded by a look around, actually even the car has been driven away?!
This Anne, it’s really killing me.
“She went ahead with the kids, let’s go too.”
Peter pointed to the side, the Adriana company car.
That day outside the hotel ran out of gas, and only yesterday after the snow was cleared and traffic resumed, he went to fill up and brought the car back.
“Get in the car and let’s go.”
Peter walked over and opened the passenger door with an extremely gentlemanly attitude.
Adriana didn’t have any choice but to get in the car.
Start the limo and leave.
On the way, Adriana’s eyes were closed and she was silent.
Peter skimmed the woman beside him from time to time out of the corner of his eye and asked, “When do you plan to confess your identity and come back with me?”
Adriana: “…”
Still not paying attention and pretending to be asleep.
“This time we’re going to the Salt Lake Villa as a family of four, not back to Orchard House.”
He was worried that Adriana had a mental image of Orchard House and would not want to go back, so he offered to change the place.
“We’ll talk after sixteen.”
Adriana returned coldly.
There is no hurry to announce her identity yet, there is still at least half a month left, she needs to deal with the matter at hand.
Otherwise all the previous ones would have been in vain.
“If you have time to worry about me, you might as well worry about yourself. After the stock market opens on the eighth day of the first month, aren’t you worried about The Alston family stock hitting a record low?”
Snorting a laugh, “Old Mr. Alston is now strongly supporting Brenden, I see your position is in danger.”
“You’re concerned about me?”
For some reason, Adriana said so, Peter heart can not hide the joy.
“You’re overthinking it, I’m just worried that The Alston family will go bankrupt and you’ll fall too far, and then you’ll flat out drag your two kids down with you.”
Adriana kept her eyes closed, her scarf spread out and hitched to her body, lying with her eyes closed on the passenger side and talking.
“The matter about the formula has been resolved, and a press conference will be held in a few days, and by then all negative news will not be broken.”
Peter wins.
No, to be more precise, I should say that everything is under control.
Adriana slowly opened her eyes and gave him a sultry look, then slowly closed them again without speaking again.
An hour later, arrived in Waverly.
Anne is waiting at the curb of the trade building.
Peter stopped the car, “Today is the second day, you also have nothing, you might as well take the two children to play together. I still have something to do, I’ll borrow your car for a while and send it to you later.”
“You don’t have a car yourself?”
Adriana sat up, somewhat displeased.
“I have a temporary matter to deal with.”
Peter said, sort of justifying it.
“You can just contact Anne directly when you turn around.”
Adriana got up, put on her scarf, pushed open the car door and left.
There did not seem to be any reluctance to allow Peter to meet her again with the excuse of borrowing a car.
Inside the car, Peter watched as Adriana got into Anne’s car and drove away.
He then took out his phone and made a call to Zac, “Where are you now? Okay, I’m coming to you now.”
Hanging up the phone he went straight to the hospital.
At the hospital’s director’s office, the man pushed the door in, closed it smoothly and walked in.
“Yo, big brother, what brings you here?”
Zac looked at him with a bad smile, “these two days with Adri look much better? What happened to your nose on …? It’s all bruised, you didn’t get hit, did you?”
He came over playfully.
“What a lot of nonsense.”
Peter walked to the sofa and sat down, and said in a cold voice: “I’ve been feeling very bad lately, the pain was regular before, and lately it’s been hurting. The medicine you gave me, it’s not working.”
He sounded serious.
Zac also understood the seriousness of the matter, put away his plodding air, went to sit next to him, took his hand, and took his pulse.
“You …”
His eyebrows twisted abruptly, “How can this be? This … body of yours won’t last long at all, huh?!”
For Zac’s shock, Peter seemed extremely calm.
Pulled out a cigarette, lit it, took a hard drag, and didn’t say anything.
“I asked you to contact Mr. Mathew, have you done so? He is one of the top talents in the medical field, you …”
As he said that, Zac suddenly felt something was wrong, “Could it be that Mathew told you that you don’t have much time left? How did he, what did he say, how long do you have?”
Peter’s eyelids droop slightly, clip the cigarette butt to the ashtray flicked the ashes, “Up to … six months.”
For five years Peter had people doing research on his body so that he could develop medicines that could save his life.
However, his body examination did not reveal any problems, but just a lot of conditions, the body is sometimes cold and hot, headaches are killing him, and his body is getting weaker and weaker.
“Is it because of Theresa?”
Zac, being a doctor, was very perceptive, “Ever since Theresa overdosed you on that drug years ago, your health has been in an instant decline.”
Peter gave a slight jaw as an acquiescence.
That kind of medicine is very domineering, taking over will certainly trigger a series of side effects.
Peter over the years, the body is not as good as a day, overbearing powerful aphrodisiac did not let him die on the spot is also considered good.
“How did that happen.”
Zac shook his head slightly, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table, followed by smoking, “I have not been able to figure out, five years ago after you fell off the cliff why you suddenly got this inexplicable disease, as if a virus, in the erosion of your internal organs, but with a variety of drugs are useless. Check also can not find out, really fuck strange.”
“There are so many things you can’t think about, you can only face reality. I came here today to ask you to prescribe some medicine for me, just to control the headache. By the way, is there any medicine that is better for curing insomnia? Get me some.”
Peter seems to be unconcerned about his physical condition.
Despite Zac’s shock, he didn’t have much of an emotional turmoil.
Maybe it’s the fact that five years of facing your body’s problems every day has taken its toll.
But that day, when Mathew told him that he had only six months to live, he first felt a strong urge to ‘recognize’ Adriana in a way that was not very deliberate, and then … rounded up the last bit of his selfish desires.
With her, the family reunion, even if it is half a year or, on the occasion or.
He didn’t even care.
“SHIT, you’re losing sleep again now?”
Zac stood up in a misty voice, feeling that Peter’s body was simply wasted.
“Adriana. she, should have bad insomnia.”
“Oh, her. That’s fine, I’ll get you some medicine later.”
The first thing you need to do is to tell Alvin and Edward, how long do you want to keep it to yourself, until you die? I’m afraid that one day you really die, they know that I know not to report, most probably will kill me to let me bury you.”
