“Yes, I’ll take care of it right away.”
Hank took the order and immediately went to take care of the rest.
Peter looked down, looked at the trench coat on the ground, leaned down and picked it up, fingertips gently rubbed the clothes, seemingly feeling the residual warmth that lingered on Adriana’s body.
Brushed the snowflakes on his clothes, shivered, dressed without disdain, and left the spot.
He just didn’t notice it himself, he was standing in a position where the ground was already overflowing with blood, leaving crimson blood with every footprint he took.
In the end, they were all cleaned up by the people Hank got over, leaving no traces.
Leaving the neighborhood, Peter called Zac and asked him to meet him at the hospital.
When he took a taxi to the hospital, Zac sent him directly to the operating room. Looking at his injured arm, he couldn’t help but curse angrily, “Peter, do you want to die? A few days ago, you drank until your stomach bleeds, and now you’ve got a gunshot wound? What’s wrong, you think you have a big life, right?
With surgical forceps in his hand, Zac removed the bullet directly from his wound without injecting him with anesthesia.
Snapped and dropped the bullet on the plate.
Peter clutched the sheet with one hand, teeth clenched, and saw that the bullet had been taken out, the hanging heart fell.
“Hoo~”
Breathing a sigh of relief, he hooked his lips with a pale face, “Can’t die. People who came through the gunfire, this injury is nothing.”
Lying on the operating table, Zac did his suturing, but still worried that it would be painful, he was given a local anesthetic.
While stitching, he asked, “Who did this? How dare they do it to you, don’t want to live.”
“It was just an accident.”
It was clear that Peter did not want to talk to him much about the matter.
“I say big brother, can you take good care of your body, don’t not love your life every time, okay? Originally there were not many days left, you are really want to rush to beg for death?”
Zac really can’t help Peter, and heartbroken and helpless.
Naive no matter how to persuade, Peter did not listen, what else can he say.
“I’ll pay attention to it later.”
“Pay attention to my ass, your life is all your own making, who can be blamed? If we are not brothers, people like you, I will never save.”
As a healer, Zac has his own principles, that is, a person who is bent on death is never to save.
Since the search for death, that save will also beg for death, why bother to save?
“Get out.”
Glancing at Zac and seeing that he had stitched up the wound, Peter said.
“What, you’re tossing yourself around blindly and you won’t let me talk about it?”
“I want to be left alone.”
“Jing …?”
Zac was confused, suddenly reacted, found that Peter did look preoccupied, nodded, “Okay, you lie down for a while.”
He put down his surgical scissors, took off his disposable gloves, and walked out.
Inside the operating room, Peter lay alone on the operating table, his eyes unblinkingly looking at the instruments on the side, and then slowly closed his eyes.
Lightly fluctuating eyelids seem to say that he is not sleeping at all, but just closing his eyes and staring, as if in thought.
Recalling the scene that happened with Adriana today, Peter’s heart gradually became cold, cold he could not stop himself shivering.
There are some things that he should ask for clarification.
Get up and get out of bed and walk out of the operating room.
In the hallway, Zac clutched a cigarette and smoked it silently. When he saw Peter come out, he immediately asked, “What’s going on out here?”
“Take me to The Alston family old house.”
The tone of command.
“Now?”
“Now!”
After getting Peter’s order, Zac lifted his wrist to check his wristwatch time, it was already two o’clock late at night.
If you choose to go to the old mansion at this time, could it be that something big has happened?
But looking at Peter’s gloomy, ink-like face, he also knew that something big must have happened.
On the way back to the old the Atkins family home, Peter called Aaren, “How is she … doing?”
Adriana has been shot and wounded, and Peter is eager to see it, but he knows that Harlee must be with Adriana at this time, and Adriana would prefer not to see him.
So …
Might as well not see it.
“Out of life threatening condition and under observation in hospital, she threw us all out and didn’t want to see anyone.”
“Okay, contact Giovanny and keep a good watch on her.”
“Yes.”
Over here, Peter had just hung up the phone when Hank’s call came in.
Peter answered at once, “Did you find out?”
“Boss, we’ve got it. Two groups of people, one wave sent by Missy and one wave from the Atrorthe Griffin family.”
“Got it.”
Peter hung up the phone and set it aside, frowning in deep thought.
Sloane, it’s her again.
One is Adriana, one is his own sister, things are really tricky for him.
Just what is the Griffin family’s intention in making a sudden move at this time?
I’m afraid that behind this matter is less than Harlee and Brenden two secretly push to help, otherwise the Griffin family’s hand is not to reach Waverly to.
The Alston family’s old house.
In the middle of the night, Peter arrived at the old house of The Alston family.
Ben opened the door and was surprised to see him, “Young master, why are you back now?”
“Ben, get Zac a room to rest in. I’m going to see Grandpa.”
Peter is also helpless about himself, because the past but some things have been forgotten, but those things about the Soto family, grandpa must know.
Instead of asking someone else, why don’t you start from your grandfather’s side?
“Young master, the old man has fallen asleep.”
Ben explained with some difficulty.
Peter’s cold eyes swept and said in a deep voice: “Get up when you’re asleep!”
There was no doubt about the attitude, the look seemed to want to meet with Old Mr. Alston no matter what.
“Then … I’ll ask now, and you wait in the parlor for a while.”
Ben said respectfully, then looked at Zac and said, “Mr. Cobb, come with me, I’ll send someone to arrange a room for you.”
“No need, you go to the old man first, and I will rest when he comes.”
“Ugh, that became.”
Ben trotted off to the atrium.
Peter and Zac both walked in slowly.
Because of the cold winter and the late night of snow, the wind was bitterly cold and shivering.
Peter’s aura was icy cold and seemed to have the words ‘Do Not Approach’ in big letters on his face.
Rather, that bewildered look made Zac worried, “What is going on? Why did you come to see the old man late at night? You know that this is a critical period, you and Brenden two atmosphere of saber rattling, the slightest inadvertence will set fire to themselves. Now The Alston family, seemingly calm and quiet, but in fact the wind is rising.”
He was really worried that Peter’s wrong step was the land of the abyss.
“I’m in charge of myself.”
Peter responded indifferently.
“Oh, you damn fart, what since the appropriate, the ghost to believe you.”
If it is set aside in the past, Zac to him that is called awe, but found that Peter is sick, know that time is not much, good temper, so Zac speak also hardened a few points.
At the end of the sentence, a harsh gaze was shot at his body.
Zac inclined his head and instantly winced at the appalling look in Peter’s eyes and grinned, “Hey, big brother, I just care too much about you.”
