The only thing I can’t see is Peter treating someone well for the first time and being ignored.
That was his big brother, and he wanted to do something for Peter.
“Cancer?”
Adriana snorted a laugh, took a sip of tea from her cup and raised an eyebrow, “Mr. Jin, your joke isn’t funny.”
She found it overly ironic.
Ten years ago his brother had cancer and had surgery, and ten years later he learned that Alvin’s brother had a terminal illness and needed a bone marrow transplant.
Now, a day later, Zac comes over and tells her that Peter has cancer.
Or after she broke up with Peter.
It all seems like a joke, making it ironically ridiculous.
“You don’t believe that?”
Zac’s face sank with some anger.
“Why should I believe that?”
Adriana raised a hand to lift the bangs on her forehead, airy and calm, “If you came over today to turn into talking about Peter … sorry, I’m busy and don’t want to listen.”
“You have such a big prejudice against him?”
Zac knew that there was a conflict between Adriana and Peter, but he didn’t know that the conflict between the two was so great.
Even he told Adriana himself that there was something about Peter, and Adriana didn’t believe it at all.
He handed Adriana a copy of the information he had with him, “This information, I think you should read it.”
The information was thrown in front of her.
Adriana glanced at it, lifted a page, looked at the diagnosis and various data analysis on it, and finally closed it.
Without changing his face, he threw the information in front of Zac, “You are a doctor, what data is there that you can’t get? Mr. Jin, I don’t care what your reason for coming here today is, but if it’s about Peter, I advise you to dispense with it.”
Before called a ‘Dr. Cobb’, now rustily called ‘Mr. Jin’.
“You …”
Zac was surprised and looked at Adriana in disbelief, and couldn’t help but twist his brow, “How can you be so thin-skinned?”
“A thinly veiled crime?”
“Adriana, what I said is true, you …”
Zac was about to say something else when Adriana stood up in a flash, “Sorry, I have something to do, I won’t keep you.”
She got up and left.
“Adriana, what I told you is true, Peter really didn’t lie to you, he is in love with you, you …”
Zac spoke loudly to the door.
Before the words could be forgotten, Adriana had already entered the stairway and went upstairs.
Step by step, high heels clattering on the stairs, with slow, thoughtful steps.
The data report, which she scanned, showed a specific disease, with problems in all five internal organs.
The latter data shows that Peter is close to death.
She is a stubborn woman, even if she has doubts in her mind, she will not admit them openly.
That time at Floedan, Peter was so sick that she saw it in her eyes.
Cold and hot at times, very weak body, obviously with a rare disease.
Adriana had always had doubts in her mind, but now that Zac had actually told her, she was in a state of doubt.
When she got upstairs, Raylan saw her head down and kept thinking hard, and immediately asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Hmm? Nothing, by the way, I just came by to tell you that I have to go first.”
“What for? Looking for Peter?”
“You’re overthinking it.”
Adriana gave him a blank stare.
“Yoo-hoo, from what you’re saying you really intend to break off with Peter, does that prove I still have a chance?”
Raylan has always understood Adriana’s mind, only it is one of those who always take I like you, take out half-truths and jokes.
This is the kind of statement that doesn’t put too much pressure on people.
Not like Alvin.
“Get out!”
Adriana gave him a blank look, turned around and walked away.
Leaving the Flyscore Building, Adriana drove down the road, thinking about Zac’s words, and her heart actually seized up.
Despite the hatred for Peter, some deep-rooted emotions really can’t be forgotten in a day or two.
But there is some hate, and when you learn that Peter may be truly terminally ill, you leave all that hate behind.
She took her phone and made a call, “Where are you? Let’s meet up. It’s still at the teahouse where we met yesterday.”
After hanging up the phone, Adriana went straight to the teahouse and sat inside for half an hour when Alvin appeared.
Today’s Alvin is wearing a white suit, short black hair is well-groomed and clean-shaven, giving him an elegant and clean temperament.
The gentleman of yesteryear has returned to his gentlemanly appearance.
“Adri?”
Alvin smiled warmly, as bright as the warm sun, “Sorry about yesterday, I lost my temper, you must not laugh at me.”
“It’s okay.”
Adriana pointed to the card table across the room, “Have a seat.”
“Hmm.”
Alvin walked across the room and sat down, Adriana pushed the pastry in front of her, “The dessert recommended by the teahouse, it tastes very good, try it.”
He waved his hand, “Don’t like sweets.”
“Okay.”
Adriana raised her eyebrows and smiled, “By the way, um … asked you something, I saw Peter faint once when he was sick, what was it?”
“Big brother?”
Alvin took a sip of tea with his cup, and lifted the alabaster pot to pour himself a cup of tea and said, “Big brother was severely anemic for a while, and was having fainting spells, and we brothers all knew about it. Also often tease him, usually white exercise, actually still appear anemic.”
“Is it serious?”
Suddenly some tension, that look fell in Alvin’s eyes, the man’s eyes darkened a few points, “You … still love him?”
Adriana’s tense emotions immediately relaxed a few points the moment she heard Alvin speak, “He’s the father of two children, and I’m just asking.”
Before coming here, Adriana was a little nervous, but after hearing Alvin’s words, she laughed at herself a little.
What does it matter to her whether he, Peter, is dead or alive?
But still, I couldn’t stop being nervous, and after asking Alvin, I found out that I had been lied to once again.
Really … is too naive.
How could she have any trust in The Alston family after repeated deceptions?
“Alvin, I have something … to tell you.”
I used to call him Senior, but since I got used to being ‘Lawson’, I have changed my name for Alvin from Senior to Alvin.
“What is it?”
His eyelids lifted slightly as he gazed at Adriana, waiting for more.
“I …”
Knock Knock-
Adriana was about to say something when there was a knock on the compartment door.
Then someone pushed in the door, “Alvin?”
Brenda walked in, called out to Alvin, and then looked at Adriana, “Ms. Hale, you’re here too? What a coincidence. I know you’re back and I’ve been wanting to talk to you for a long time.”
She smiled sardonically at Adriana, keeping it polite.
Mostly because Alvin was so drunk yesterday that he didn’t care to play along.
But Brenda didn’t know that Alvin wasn’t drunk at all.
Adriana looked at her, smiled out of politeness, and then took a sip of her tea, without speaking again.
“Why are you here?”
