Immediately said, “The old man might as well say what he has to say, Peter is not a man of many words.”
The implication is that he is telling Raul that he will keep the secret.
The old man nodded, walked to the stone bench and sat down, hands on the tap of the cane, raised his eyes to gaze at him, “What you suffer from is not some strange disease, but the compulsion poison of Obren. The compulsion is colorless and tasteless, but it can take a person’s life and is very dangerous. So, are you now able to tell me what kind of people you have offended from Obren?”
Faced with the old man’s questioning, Peter carefully recalled and said, “Have not offended Obren’s people, but … more than five years ago someone made a memory seal for me. And the memory seal only Obren’s people will.”
The person who did it to him five years ago and did the memory-sealing was either Harlee or Theresa.
At first, Peter just knew he had no time to lose, and he didn’t want to count that much.
The important thing is that her mother sees Theresa, and Harlee is Adriana’s own brother, rather than knowing the outcome of the dilemma, it is better not to check.
“If so, then it is specified that you have offended someone who put a compulsion on your memory when it was sealed.”
The old man tapped his fingers with a hitch, deep in thought about something.
A long time, said: “Your body can hold up to now is a miracle, but there are not many days left. The compulsion is very rare, only Obren’s patriarch to blood to raise the compulsion to cultivate the compulsion, and five years out of a compulsion. So that, if not very extreme cases, the general matriarch will not be easy to do. And you, why will be under the compulsion, this thing I’m afraid you have to personally go to Obren to clear.”
Just a moment ago, when Elder Shangguan checked Peter’s pulse, he found an abnormality, because with the presence of the compulsion in the body, there would be subtle changes in the pulse.
If people who are not familiar with the compulsion, it is impossible to care about this subtle abnormality.
Peter was silent, his thoughts somewhat mixed.
Seeing him fall into silence, Elder Shangguan said again: “With your current body is able to last until you go to Obren, but you have to think carefully. First of all, after going to Obren people may not allow you to enter the Obren secret place; Secondly, even if you meet the Obren matriarch, may not help to save. You should be clear, if there is no enmity with the matriarch, how would she put a compulsion on you? You know what’s going on, and you need to think about it.”
The old man got up, “I’ll have someone send you a prescription later, take it according to the prescription, it can probably help you renew your life for three months, this is the only thing I can do. This is the only thing I can do. It is also a repayment of old man Yuan’s favor. But young man, you remember, about Obren things do not say out, or will only be killed.”
After saying that, the old man went straight away.
Peter was left standing alone in the gazebo, his mind recalling what the old man had said, his mind a complex.
Before coming here, Peter didn’t think about the cure either, as he had felt hopeless about his illness long ago.
But who could have known that another Raul would appear.
Forgive him for being so ignorant and unaware of the existence of such a person as Raul.
Live so low-key, but to Obren secret know that clear and familiar, Peter expected that he must be Obren out of the people.
Because Obren does not allow marriage with foreigners, contact, once there is disobedient, the only end is – death!
But under heavy siege, there will still be missed.
Raul is most likely the one outside the leaky … fish, the big one!
“Boss? Are you okay?”
Hank, who was staying in the yard, saw Peter coming this way and followed him directly.
Seeing his face pale and colorless, he was a little worried, “Should I send you to the hospital?”
“No need.”
Peter sat on a stone bench, raising his hand to support his forehead, carefully thought deeply about what has happened over the years, but thinking about it, but also do not know where the problem really appeared.
…
Waverly.
The two had a hard time shaking off the reporters who were chasing them all the way from behind, before they got a chance to catch their breath.
“No, I have to go send a statement. raylan, this can’t happen between us.”
Adriana is internally resistant, the situation is bad now, and if it keeps brewing what she has with Raylan, the consequences are unthinkable.
Raylan’s brow furrowed and his eyes darkened as he looked at Adriana, “Are you sure? This is your grandfather’s idea.”
“Heh, Old Mr. Soto has only the Soto family’s interests in mind, and I can’t let him pull you down for his own selfish reasons.”
“What about … if I want to.”
Raylan thought about it and decided that it was better to take the opportunity to show everything to Adriana, so that he would not have to worry about Adriana.
Already forgetting Peter, Raylan really wanted to test Adriana’s heart for what she really thought.
His words did not surprise Adriana.
The lips lifted slightly, bitter smile, “Raylan, I really haven’t thought about it in that direction right now. Being single, is that bad?”
She hasn’t thought about children’s love yet, just wants to take care of herself and her children.
Besides, now a bunch of complicated things are mixed together, very tricky, there is still time to think about this.
For some reason, the mention of emotional matters, Adriana heart a sudden contraction, flooded with pain, inexplicably a kind of things quietly passed after the empty feeling arises.
“Single …?”
The little woman’s answer really surprised him, froze, couldn’t help but nod, “Good, single, single, I’ll wait for you. But try not to make a statement right now. You also know the situation of the Soto Group, if you issue an announcement now will only anger the old man. It’s just as well that I want to take this opportunity to block my parents, who are always trying to introduce me to someone.”
Said the man, raising an eyebrow toward Adriana, “You know.”
“Isn’t it nice to be on a blind date? Then I need to clarify it even more so that I don’t delay your lifelong commitment.”
“You are my life, do you think any other woman can be in my eyes.”
Adriana: “…”
She pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and could only reluctantly agree with him, “All right then, according to you, according to you.”
Adriana has some headaches.
But since Raylan also said so, she does not care, there is always a way to let Raylan die.
“Send me back.”
“Good.”
Since she couldn’t go to the office, Adriana returned home and spent the rest of the day at home, only slowly accepting the reality of her memory loss.
In the evening, Luis and Helen come back and Adriana finishes dinner with the two children and sits down to watch TV.
“Mommy? Where’s Daddy?”
Luis asked as he munched on a snack.
“Yeah, I haven’t seen Daddy in half a month.”
Helen also misses Peter a little.
Adriana, who was watching TV, heard the two children’s words and her face sank, not knowing how to reply.
Adriana has no memory of what happened to Peter, only vague flashes of images, but not so clear.
Remember what Raylan said about Peter going abroad.
“Your daddy he went to work abroad.”
