It was Peter who stood there looking a bit abrupt and more awkward.
The man looked at the little woman he hadn’t seen for a few days and really couldn’t help but want to rush forward and hold her tightly in his arms.
I don’t know how much control he used to restrain his manic heart.
Pretending to be bashful, he withdrew his gaze, “Since Leonidas is fine, I’ll go back first.”
“Well, well, Peter, I’ll even trouble you to run.”
“You’re welcome, I’m Leonidas’ brother anyway.”
According to the generation, he is not Leonidas’ brother.
Peter finished and gave a slight jowl toward Jenkins.
Jenkins immediately said, “Mr. Alston, I’ll see you off.”
“Also.”
The two walked out together and closed the door.
In the hallway, Jenkins saw the ward door close before he asked, “Adri doesn’t know anything now?”
“It’s best if you don’t know. In the future, please take care of Adriana more.”
Peter knows that his days are numbered, and although he is reluctant to let go of the little woman, he categorically cannot be so selfish as to dominate Adriana once again for his own selfishness.
“Mr. Alston you are welcome, Adri is my sister, I will naturally take good care of her.”
“Well, good.”
Peter looked back in the direction of the ward, as if he could see Adriana through the thick walls.
With deep regret, I went down to the inpatient building.
Jenkins returned to the hospital room where Adriana and Hayley were chatting with each other.
“Brother, when did you get here?”
Adriana asked.
“The law firm had nothing to do today, so I came over.”
“Then you have to owe it to Vivian, who has given so much.” Adriana meant it.
“Stop it, don’t make a mess of it.”
How could he not hear what Adriana was saying.
“You and Flora haven’t separated yet?”
“Divided.”
“It’s good to split up, it’s good for you that you’re breaking clean now.”
“Okay, enough about me. What about you, how have you been?”
Jenkins waved his hand, very reluctant to hear Adriana mention what happened between him and Flora.
The three of them have rarely been able to sit and talk together in peace and quiet for many years.
Adriana found the moment very pleasant and beautiful.
At the same time, it was as if it could understand Harlee’s feelings.
It is understandable that anyone in the Soto family, the place where he was raised, would choose to be loyal to the Soto family.
After all, there is no way to repay the gift of nurturing.
On the contrary, Adriana found these to be the most problematic.
Rich people raising a child just need to invest money, find a teacher and hire a nanny to take care of it.
But no matter what, it’s a strong bond.
“What’s on your mind?”
Finding Adriana lost in thought, Jenkins asked.
“No, it’s fine. By the way, go back first, I want to whisper something to her.”
“Yo, when did you two get so close? Don’t want your style. It’s normal to fight and fight, that’s normal.”
Jenkins flirted with a laugh.
“Brother, where you come so much nonsense, hurry up and go.” Hayley also began to drive people away.
“Okay, okay, okay, you girls always have a lot to whisper about. I’ll go, I’ll go all right.”
Jenkins wanted to leave, but looking at the early hour, she pointed to Leonidas, who was playing with toys on the bed, and said, “It’s still early, and isn’t the little one due to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. I’ll just take him out for a walk and bring him back later so he won’t be anxious in the ward.”
“OK, fine.”
Hayley agreed.
“Let’s go Leonidas, uncle hold you out to play oh.”
Jenkins walked over to the hospital bed, hugged her little friend and put on her shoes, waved to Adriana and Hayley, and went out.
One big and one small left and the ward finally quieted down.
It was then that Adriana asked, “Has Brenden been here in the last two days?”
“No.”
Hayley shook her head.
“That bastard!”
Adriana is really very angry.
Although it is known that Brenden has no emotion for Leonidas, but no matter what it is a child who grew up around him.
He actually managed to be indifferent.
Hayley didn’t say anything.
The two have been slowing Jenkins from the beginning until now and have not told him what happened.
There are times when things are said that only add unnecessary burdens, and Jenkins is a straight man.
A mind that everything can be solved by legal ways and means.
Unbeknownst to you, there are things where rights trump everything.
“What do you think? Or do you plan to go back with Leonidas?”
In fact, Adriana knew she was asking multiple times.
Hayley is even weaker and more impotent compared to her, and when she meets something as beastly as Brenden, she has no other choice but to submit.
“I know you’re worried about my situation, but I really don’t have any choice. My mom, my brother, all of them will be a handle for Brenden. adriana, I have no way out.”
Yeah, there’s no way out.
There is simply no room for choice.
Adriana sighed, “Blame it on my incompetence, if I could have been more competent I could have protected you all.”
Initially, it was because of her that Hayley was brought into the vortex.
Although she chose the path herself, it was Brenden who initially approached Hayley because of her.
Underneath that handsome skin, a dark heart is hidden.
Hayley was so naive at that time, how could she resist the rich and charming Brenden?
She doesn’t blame Hayley.
Think about the initial Hayley and Brenden two back to the country, she entered The Alston family, a big marriage, the name of the Alston family seventh wife, the scenery for a while.
Now, it’s just a few months, and it’s not the same.
Instead, it fell to a pathetic level.
Her heart aches for what Hayley is going through.
At the same time really blame yourself for being incompetent.
“I don’t blame you. Adriana, we’ve grown up over the years, we can see many things, and I’m not the fool I was. I will not put all the blame on you.”
Only after becoming a mother did Hayley become more emotionally focused.
Or maybe it was under Brenden’s hurt over and over again that made her come to her senses.
In the end, it’s too late to wake up.
Adriana didn’t say anything.
She didn’t know what to say.
As Hayley said, The Hale family is weak, although there is a YY Law Firm, which has roots in Waverly and can earn money.
But compared to The Alston family, it’s a far cry.
The Alston family could put YY Law Firm out of business with a single finger.
Brenden continues to work with YY Law Firm because Jenkins is Hayley’s brother, as he now succeeds as CEO of the Alston Group.
If Hayley does anything, the Alston Group will withdraw its partnership with YY Law Firm and the affiliates and firms that work with The Alston family will cancel their partnership.
At that time, the large YY Law Firm with those scattered cases, it is impossible to support.
Adriana could not protect The Hale family, her two children, and Leonidas.
All the problems are attributed to the former, or the lack of ability.
But how easy is it to climb from the bottom of the pyramid to the top?
