But it was a minute before the patriarch let go of his hand, got up and returned to his place and sat down.
“You have been poisoned by a compulsion, although someone has given you a special remedy that can control the final poisoning. But in the end, there is not much time left.”
Her voice was soft, with the transcendence and calmness of an out-of-this-world cultivator.
The preference for each sentence gives a sense of truth, so that he had to believe.
Peter did not suspect, but simply asked, “There is no other way?”
“This compulsion, generally by the clan leader personally made compulsion, to feed their own blood, and molecular mother compulsion. Your body is a child compulsion, the mother compulsion in the body of the matriarch, want to draw out the body of the compulsion, you must also find the matriarch who feeds the compulsion to do so. But she … has left Obren a few years ago, to now the whereabouts of unknown. Want to find him, as difficult as the sky.”
She was sincere and did not beat around the bush or deliberately withhold her words.
Even many things are the same as what Mr. Schroeder said.
“If the compulsion is raised with blood, the survival of the compulsion also requires the use of blood. What if I change the blood?” Peter asked in a different way.
The other side shook his head, “compulsion is a very mysterious thing, even with the current medicine, it is impossible to detect in the body. It can survive with or without blood as long as it is in the human body. But the compulsion also has a time limit, usually ten years will die. But you can last until a few years?”
Deadly questions that gradually turned the hope in Peter’s heart into despair.
He raised an eyebrow and looked at his left hand and couldn’t help but smile.
Perhaps, this is the life.
Round and round, and thought there was really hope for life, did not think that in the end or let him despair.
“So, there is only one way to die?”
Peter really didn’t want to accept the reality, didn’t want to believe.
Because now he still has a lot of long-cherished wishes to be completed, how dare he go to death?
It’s just a shame that the way things are now, even if he doesn’t want to die, he doesn’t want to go back to Adriana’s side and affect her life.
“I advise you to go back, it is also a futile effort here.”
The patriarch said one thing, got up and left.
“The patriarch?”
Peter suddenly stood up and with a strong desire to live he immediately said, “If I am willing to take all my possessions in exchange for my life, can I?”
The patriarch took a step and did not turn around, “Do not question my words.”
She’s gone.
Peter stood in the living room for a while and walked out with his head hanging.
Outside, Alani is in.
When he saw Peter walk out, he immediately went up to him and asked, “How is it, what did the patriarch say?”
“There’s no saving.”
Peter said only three words that even he himself found too desperate to believe.
Why this happened is really heartbreaking.
“If she says she is not saved, she really is not saved. She is the most prestigious matriarch of our Obren, don’t look at her young age but actually has eighty years old.”
“Eighty?”
Peter is already a materialist and does not believe in such light and strange things.
Just saw that the patriarch is at most forty or fifty years old, maintenance should be good, but actually said there are eighty years old.
It’s incredible.
“Right. She has a daughter, is the successor to the patriarch, after her daughter left Obren, see the outside world of flowers will not want to come back, in the genealogy of the removal of the name, since then there is little mention of the existence of the last patriarch. No one knows where that patriarch is. Some people say that died, some people say that traveled to the sea, and some people say that may be intermarried with foreigners, living the life of a husband and children.”
Alani tells Peter about the last patriarch, yet Peter has no need for any preoccupation to listen.
…
Two days later.
“Senpai, Brenda is awake.”
When Adriana learned that Brenda was awake, she immediately came over to inform Alvin.
The man lying in bed in torment heard the news and his eyes lit up, “Awake? Can you show me?”
“How do I look?”
Zac immediately sank, “You’re in a cast on your legs, like a mummy, and you want to fly over?”
He was angry, “Rest well if you are sick, don’t be restless all day long.”
On the contrary, Adriana raised her eyebrows and said nothing.
“That’s fine, you get some rest, I’ll go over and check on her.”
Adriana turned around and walked towards the outside, just two steps away, Alvin said, “Tell her a message for me …, tell her … to get a good rest, I don’t hate her.”
“Shit, Alvin, you’ve got shit in your head, if you say that again, do you believe I’ll smack you? If it wasn’t for her, you would have ended up in this situation?”
The grumpy Zac almost did not jump up in anger.
Adriana left the ward and went to the ward that had been turned into a critical care unit and met Brenda.
Because of Brenda’s special status, four people were assigned to guard behind the door, and two surveillance cameras were deliberately transferred to monitor the entire corridor.
“Awake?”
In the ward, she looked at Brenda, who was lying on the sickbay with several red marks on her small face from the thorns, and asked, “Why did you want me to save Alvin?”
It was a knowing question, but Adriana just wanted to know.
Brenda on the hospital bed glanced at Adriana, and after a moment, withdrew her gaze and sighed, “You are really lucky, blessed with a great life, where is the creation.”
It was a surprise that Adriana was able to escape from the clutches of that situation.
“I don’t want to talk so much nonsense to you. Just one question for you, who is the person behind your backdoor operation?”
She gets right to the point and asks directly.
“Did I say you would protect me?”
Like Adriana, Brenda, who has been reborn, is still very happy with the feeling of being alive.
Just thinking about how many people you have offended, it’s really hard to survive in the cracks.
Without waiting for Adriana’s answer, Brenda immediately asked, “Where’s Alvin, how is he?”
From the time she woke up just now until now, although she had already asked the doctor to make sure Alvin was okay, Brenda was still a little uneasy in her heart.
“Alvin is resting in his hospital room, only in a depressed mood and looking a little worse for wear.”
“What was that all about?”
Brenda was puzzled.
“I don’t know. He was in a bad mood, sullen, not talkative, and I never saw him smile.”
After the robbery, Alvin is not in a good situation, but the Alvin of yesteryear is a smiling, sunny and warm man.”
A very different attitude from the last few days.
Brenda’s brow knitted and silent.
Perhaps because of the guilt in his heart, he did not speak for a long time, lowering his eyelids, not knowing what he was thinking.
“He asked me to give you a message.”
“What?”
“He said he doesn’t hate you.”
“He … doesn’t hate me?” Brenda’s eyes widened, hands clutching the bedding, extremely complicated mood, can not say what kind of emotion.
“In the end, it’s all my fault to Alvin, and if I could, I would personally make amends to him for my mistake.”
Brenda never thought things would go around in circles like this.
“I know, you got me back from the mountain, thank you.”
