Zac, red-eyed and angry, took off the white coat he was wearing and threw it directly into the trash as he walked out of the elevator.
He didn’t want to be a doctor.
I don’t want to see my brother sick but there is no cure, he can’t do anything.
With him, it was also a great blow.
Why is that?
“Go out for a drink with me.”
Zac said.
Edward didn’t speak, the two got in the car and headed straight in the direction of the bar.
…
This time, many people stayed up late at night.
Adriana was wounded and the news was embargoed, unbeknownst to Helen.
Vivian went to visit Adriana in the hospital and then went to pick up Helen and take her home, eat and study with her, and then watch cartoons for a while before going to bed.
The next day it was Vivian again who escorted Helen to school.
The two children met in front of the school and entered the school together.
No one noticed the difference.
Everything was apparently as normal as usual.
However, a new round of war is derived from this.
In the hospital.
Adriana woke up late into the night and opened her eyes to see Harlee, Raylan, Giovanny and others guarding the hospital room.
“Why are you all here?”
She asked, confused.
“You’re awake?”
Harlee was overjoyed to see Adriana awake, “You really scared me, all right Adri? Sorry, it’s brother did not protect you. Don’t worry, I will not let Peter go.”
“Little Adri, how is it, does your body still hurt?”
Raylan stood next to Harlee, looking at the frail woman on the bed with a concerned look on his face.
The heart is quite unpleasant.
On the contrary, Giovanny did not speak.
Adriana shook her head, “It’s okay, it’s okay. This has nothing to do with you, I’ll settle the score with Peter myself! I’ll do my own thing.”
Disappointment in Peter over and over again, finally replaced by despair.
What Peter did can be so mean and shameless, yet underhanded.
“Impossible, you are my sister. peter caused you to become like this, I can’t just sit back and watch. I’m telling you, how much you suffered yesterday, Peter has to change back ten times!”
Harlee was so angry that she slapped the table and screamed, “I’ll do what I say. Otherwise, my Harlee’s name is written backwards.”
“Upside down? So it’s not Harlee?”
Adriana felt Harlee’s concern and gradually let go of her animosity towards him. Perhaps this is the blood relationship, even if Harlee had done much wrong in the past, she still slowly accepted this person in the passage of time.
“Mr. Soto, can I talk to Adriana alone for a few minutes?”
Raylan asked.
The inquiring attitude seemed to seek his opinion.
Harlee knew what Raylan meant to Adriana and naturally agreed. “Okay then, you guys talk, I’ll go get Adri something to eat first.”
He turned and walked out, followed by Giovanny, closing the door behind him.
Only two people were left in the room.
Raylan pulled up a companion chair and sat beside her, saying softly, “Does your body hurt? The doctor said that if it wasn’t for your good physique, no one would have been able to stand it if it were on an average girl’s body.”
“Is that so?”
Adriana skimmed the corners of her mouth, blinked her long, thickly curled eyelashes, and smiled.
“It’s not much. When I was on the unnamed island, I suffered a lot compared to this, it’s really worse than death.”
Naturally, Adriana is okay with it.
“Do you hate him?”
“Who?”
Adriana’s brain short-circuited for a moment, but the next moment she knew he was asking about Peter.
With a shrug, “What do you think?”
“I …”
Raylan’s eyes drooped slightly, converging his eyebrows, “I investigated what happened yesterday, and it was indeed Sloane …”
“That’s enough.”
Adriana interrupted him immediately, “Raylan, since when are you on the same team as Peter? If you’re here to be a lobbyist, then I’m sorry, our friendship ends here.”
She just wanted to calm down for a while now and didn’t want to hear anything about Peter.
With countless people mentioning everything about Peter in her head every day, Adriana was really a bit broken.
“Where’s Alani?”
She asked after a moment’s thought.
“Still resting in the hotel. He knew you were injured and came over to visit you last night, then went back.”
“Get Giovanny in here.”
“What, you want Giovanny to call Alani over. You …”
Saying that, Raylan seemed to realize something.
Eyes suddenly narrowed, staring at her for a moment, he asked, “Could it be that you are trying to …”
Obren is best at steganography and compulsion.
Sealing memories is the best, Adriana now looking for Obren’s people over, its purpose is very obvious.
How could he not know that?
“You …”
Adriana didn’t expect Raylan to be so smart and guess everything.
Solely did not want to hide it, “Yes, I do.”
I heard that Obren’s people know hypnosis and should be very good at treating insomnia.
As for the success of the success is not known for the time being.
But it’s better to try than to be tortured every day now and be in pain.
Raylan went against Adriana’s idea.
He thinks Adriana is going to ask Obren’s people to come and seal her memories, while she plans to ask Obren’s people to come and help her with her insomnia.
“Adri, do you still love him?”
Raylan’s tone was rarely gentle, and his voice was soft when he spoke to her, as if he was worried about scaring the injured woman in front of him.
“I told you not to mention Peter in front of me again, okay.”
Her voice drew up a few notches and she knitted her brow tightly.
That look made Raylan think Adriana was in pain and uncomfortable.
“Adri? Fine, fine, I won’t talk about it, I won’t talk about it.”
Raylan frowned and sighed, only to feel a word.
According to his recent observation of Peter, he always felt that Peter had something to hide from Adriana, or meditated to lead Adriana in another direction.
There seems to be something going on.
“That’s fine, you rest, I still have some business point to go.”
Raylan, worried that he would make Adriana angry if he stayed, left.
In the hallway, he let Giovanny into the ward.
Leaving the hospital, Raylan made an immediate phone call to Peter.
The two made an appointment to meet at the river.
Although it is the day of early spring, everything is revived, the willow tree hair new branches, the morning sunlight cast largely, the breeze gently, the river surface sparkling, extraordinarily beautiful.
But it still gives a cool feeling.
Raylan placed his hands in the pockets of his suit pants and waited for Peter to appear.
Half an hour later, Peter arrived as promised.
He took a look at Peter, his face was a little haggard and pale, his chin was unshaven and he looked a little unkempt.
“Something?”
Peter looked at him and asked.
Raylan turned around, leaned over the railing to look at him, and asked, “Is there something you’re hiding from Adriana?”
The man across the table’s narrow phoenix eyes flashed a cold aura, “What do you mean?”
“Literally.”
