“Well … Alvin, I’m so tired, can you sleep with me for a while please?”
She wrapped her arms around his waist.
“Brenda, stop it. I’ll send you …”
Spencer’s reasoning is clear, even though he is interested in the woman in front of him, he will not indulge himself. Reach out and push her away, who knows the little woman actually hugged tighter and tighter, “Alvin you don’t move, I’ll hug for a while, just a while okay. I know, I know you are deeply in love with Adriana and don’t like me,…. … I could have opted out. I’m not going to morally kidnap you just because I donated bone marrow to your brother. Oooh … that wouldn’t be fair to you.”
At those words, the man stiffened and frowned, “What? Like Adriana?”
Spencer and Alvin both grew up without much in common and rarely spoke.
It is even less clear about Alvin’s private affairs.
If Brenda hadn’t said so, he might have thought Alvin had been in love with Brenda all along.
Now it seems that this is not the case.
“Oooh … Alvin, I … love you …”
Brenda hugged him and placed a kiss on his lips.
Even though I know Spencer has cancer, the doctor has said his cancer is curable, so I don’t feel bad chills with Spencer now.
The sudden warmth of his lips, Spencer’s body jolted and his eyes widened, full of incredulity.
Forget even to resist.
“Well …”
Brenda kissed him again on the lips …
This time, Spencer was completely sober and pushed Brenda straight away, “I’ll walk you to your room.”
He got up, carried Brenda back to her room, and then gently laid her on the bed.
Because of his sudden aura, Brenda was a little afraid and could only close her eyes and pretend to sleep.
Rub-a-dub-dub
The door to the room closed and Spencer stood in the hallway and called downstairs, “Where’s Malia? Call the family doctor, Brenda’s sick.”
…
Alvin rushed to the hospital, having long since left Brenda’s illness behind and forgotten all about it.
In the hospital room, Alvin meets Adriana.
The little woman lying on the hospital bed with a weak and haggard face is heartbreaking.
After he put down the fruit basket and the nutrition, he slowly walked to Adriana’s face.
Tugged at his lips, for a long time did not say anything.
“Alvin, you’re here?”
Adriana looked at him and smiled bitterly, “Sit down. You drank quite a lot yesterday, are you better now?”
As a patient, now I actually care about someone who is not sick.
“I heard about you and big brother. This …”
He was tempted to say there must be some misunderstanding, but the words came to his lips when he saw Adriana’s face change slightly.
Alvin was immediately silenced.
The two looked at each other, silent for a moment, Adriana was the first to speak, “How do you … know about me?”
“They told me so.”
This ‘they’, naturally, is Zac and Edward brothers, “Are you better now? Does your body still hurt? I heard that you were badly injured yesterday.”
“Very … heavy?”
Adriana looked puzzled, she was clearly fine, how come she was misrepresented as serious?
Thinking about it, I think the blood on her clothes yesterday must have created a misunderstanding, and Harlee must have exaggerated the facts to make people think she was seriously injured.
Nodded, “Bear with it, it’s not very painful.”
Although it hurts a bit now, it is not as much as one tenth of the pain in the unnamed island.
It was a place where there was no human warmth, and mistakes were punished.
Even if the results are unsatisfactory, the penalty will be accepted.
All in all, the unnamed island is more like an invisible cage that keeps her inside and tortures her every day.
“It must have hurt. sloane went too far this time.”
Alvin sighed, helplessly.
Mentioning ‘Sloane’, Adriana subconsciously thought that Alvin was excusing Peter and looked a little upset.
“Let’s not talk about the past anymore. Instead, you should take care of your own affairs. By the way, your brother is about to prepare for a second operation recently, so you should still have a lot of things to do at home.”
“Luckily, I don’t need to worry about it.”
The two exchanged pleasantries, Adriana wouldn’t let Alvin mention Peter, and Adriana wasn’t too keen on mentioning Brenda in front of Alvin.
Because the two are clear that the last thing the other wants to hear are those two names.
After staying for a while, Alvin went back.
Adriana was lying alone in the ward, quite uninterested.
Seeing Giovanny walk in, he asked, “Where are they?”
How come there is no one left now?
Giovanny sat on the sofa with his arms around his chest and a cool face.
“Oh, you can’t talk.”
Adriana let out a sigh, feeling really confused.
Knowing that Giovanny could not speak, he actually asked him questions.
However, on second thought, she was the one who gave Giovanny the task before, and although Giovanny could not speak, he was very good at execution and just needed to carry it out.
“They went to The Alston family.”
Just as Adriana closed her eyes, not wanting to think about it anymore, a voice rang out.
Adriana opened her eyes abruptly and looked incredulously at the person sitting across from her, “You’re talking?”
“Ventriloquism.”
“Ventriloquism?”
I used to think that ventriloquism was fake, but I didn’t think it really existed.
“You can actually talk, why were you muffled before?” Adriana felt she had been teased by Giovanny, and God knows how shocked and chagrined she was at the moment.
“You didn’t ask.”
“I …”
She was at a loss for words, and really didn’t know how to answer the question.
No further conversation at all.
But this day Adriana was not idle, as she knew that Giovanny knew ventriloquism, so she was curious about him and asked a lot of things.
…
The Alston family.
The Alston family atrium parlor, filled with people.
The Soto family, The Alston family.
Basically all the people who could talk to each other came over.
“Leroy, you old thing, for so many years our two families do not cross the river, your grandson actually sent someone to beat Adri, do you have to give an explanation for this?”
Old Mr. Soto, in a fit of rage, slapped the table heavily, pointed angrily at Old Mr. Alston, and roared.
Old Mr. Alston, who was sitting in the high chair, turned the walnuts in his hand and swept his cold eyes at Sloane and Peter who were trembling, “Tell me, what is going on?”
“I …”
Sloane walked out, grunting, “How can you blame me? It’s all because of that bitch Adriana. She knew that Theresa was going to marry my brother and was pregnant, so she said something to Theresa that made Theresa faint and bleed on the spot, and almost lost the baby in her belly. I did this because Adriana forced me to.”
“Stop it!”
Peter didn’t bother to listen to Sloane’s explanation, stood out and said, “Old Mr. Soto, it’s all my fault, I didn’t teach my sister well, any punishment come at me.”
“What to come at you? Brother, I am not at all wrong in this matter. adriana previously dressed as a man to deceive my feelings, that kind of shameless woman should die …”
Before the end of the word ‘death’ had fallen, Peter threw a slap directly at her face, “Shut up!”
The slap was extraordinarily crisp and loud.
