“All night long.”
He reached out and pointed outside, it was already early morning at sunrise.
Peter looked out the window, when it was really early in the morning, the sun was warm, everything was so beautiful, through the sadness.
“It’s time for you to arrange for hospitalization.”
Edward sat at the end of the bed and patted the bedding, “If not, the condition will continue to worsen, and by then, you won’t last a few days at all.”
“Peter, get hospitalized.”
Alvin sees Peter as his big brother from the bottom of his heart, but always feels that calling him ‘big brother’ is like calling his brother Spencer.
Peter, who was lying on the hospital bed, took a deep breath, sat up abruptly and lifted the bedding to get out of bed.
“What are you doing?”
“Don’t move.”
“Lie back!”
The three brothers spoke in unison and moved their hands to hold Peter directly down on the bed.
He waved their hands away with some boredom, “I want to get out, I don’t want to be hospitalized.”
There are still too many things left to do, and staying in the hospital would interfere with many things, at least for now it is not advisable for him to be known about his illness.
“I know you are worried about your illness being known, you can rest assured that Old Mr. Alston did not arrange for you to go abroad, we go abroad for treatment, no one will know. We are all with you.”
The end of life and death, are born to die brothers, naturally will accompany Peter’s side.
“No need!”
Peter rebuffed again.
“Aren’t you so stubborn that you want to see Adriana more? I don’t fucking get it, since you like her, just say you like it, why torture each other so much, aren’t you tired?”
Zac was angry and furious, kicking hard on top of the bedside table and flinging the stethoscope on his neck to the floor in annoyance.
Peter’s eyelids drooped slightly and he didn’t say anything.
Edward is in a whirlwind of emotions, so he naturally understands the reason for it.
It was Alvin who lamented, “If Adri now knows about Sam’s physical condition, how can he leave with confidence?”
To put it bluntly, even if Adriana knew that Peter loved her deeply, the two confessed to each other and chose to be together at the end of their lives, then Peter’s death would be too cruel to Adriana.
Love someone and the lie will be a kind one.
“What kind of bullshit feelings are not as important as yourself! It’s all bullshit!”
Zac stormed off towards the outside, “I don’t want to be in a relationship in my life!”
Pulled open the door of the ward and threw it shut with a heavy bang, shaking the whole room.
“Never you mind, Zac has always been this virtuous.”
“Yes, big-hearted and never moved with sincerity, how can I understand you?”
The two brothers advised Peter, worried that he would get angry.
Peter waved his hand, “You guys go out first, I want to be alone.”
“You … that into, I’ll go with Alvin and get you some breakfast.”
Edward gestured toward Alvin and the two walked out of the room and closed the door.
In the hallway, Zac sat on a bench silently smoking, and the two walked over and patted him on the shoulder, silently comforting.
“No, I’m going to find Adriana and set the record straight.”
Zac thought about it and still couldn’t figure it out, threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground, crushed the toe of his shoe, got up and left.
“Stand still!”
Alvin stopped him, “Don’t go.”
His gloomy face was covered with sadness, and he said in a serious tone, “Do you think big brother will think less clearly than you? There are some things he knows, and we should respect his choice.”
At least, Alvin is now very understanding of Peter.
Several people fell silent and did not speak again.
The atmosphere was instantly much heavier.
Alvin and Edward wentdownstairs, Edward went to buy breakfast, and Alvin went to Fryer Group.
Led by the secretary, we met Adriana in the president’s office.
“Hmm? Senior, what brings you here?”
Adriana was a little surprised, closed the file, got up and walked to him, looked him up and down, “I thought you had already called off your engagement with Brenda, why are you still lethargic?”
“Yes?”
He laughed it off, “Maybe I slept too late yesterday. By the way, what have you been up to these days?”
Alvin walked to the couch and sat down by himself, looked at Adriana and tried several times to tell Adriana about Peter’s current situation.
But the words came out of his mouth and he swallowed them back.
“What else can I be busy with, the public The Grant Family in the two head to run.”
Adriana sat across from him, “How is your brother doing now, is he better?”
Always knew that Alvin’s brother Spencer was not well, so he asked with concern.
“He’s pretty stable, and Brenda said she’d help him. It shouldn’t be anything serious, it’s just that Brenda has helped me so much, I don’t know what to do in return.”
Alvin sighed in frustration and was not in a good mood.
“The simplest and most direct reward is to give her a sum of money to make a better life. The rest … you can’t give.”
Insinuating Brenda’s forced marriage.
“I know everything you said.”
Alvin jawed slightly, raised his eyes, fixed his gaze on Adriana and asked, “Sam, he’s going abroad soon, do you know?”
“Peter?”
“Hmm.”
“I don’t care about his business, his legs are on his body and it has nothing to do with me wherever he wants to go.”
Adriana doesn’t want to hear too much about Peter, it always makes her feel like Peter is everywhere in her life, and she can’t stop thinking about it.
“In the end, he is the child’s daddy, once he leaves, it will not be easy for the two children to see each other again.”
“Luis and Helen are old enough to video call if they want to see each other.”
“That can be the same?”
“One is not the same as all …”
Adriana said, suddenly feeling out of place, “You’re here to be a lobbyist today?”
“Sort of. I just think you might want to join him and spend time with the two kids. Don’t let the two kids hold regrets.”
He said, his tone growing more and more despondent, “From the time the child was born to the time he grew up, your family was never reunited at all. More often than not, it was a standoff without ever considering the child’s feelings, wasn’t it?”
Adriana folded her legs and crossed her white fingers like green onions, hanging her head and said, “Senior, if you mention anything about Peter to me again, don’t blame me for being angry. I have to go to Raylan’s place later to talk about a project, so I don’t have time for you.”
“I came to … to actually tell you that I also intend to go abroad. About YY live, I do not intend to continue to operate.”
He naturally had other things to do when he came over today.
He stayed in the country before because of Adriana and the family, but now that Peter is seriously ill, it is impossible for him and Brenda to stay in the same company.
After so many storms, Alvin is also tired.
Early in the original pursuit of Adriana has given up on self, choose the least favorite industry, to inherit the company.
Now he is tired and wants to escape from this place.
“Not in business anymore? What about …? Isn’t there someone to take care of the company, can’t you just hand it over to someone else.”
“No, I mean I won’t run it in the future either.”
