Ruth, her … mom.
Adriana has lived for more than twenty years, always longing for affection, but never thought she would end up meeting her biological mother in the present moment.
The ‘strangers’ made Adriana feel so uncomfortable that she didn’t even know what to say.
Her pale lips tugged, her thin lips opened slightly, but finally shut up and silenced.
“I know you have a lot to say, but son, the situation is urgent now I really can’t say too much to you. I can only tell you the last way to save Peter, and that is for me to activate the mother parasite inside you now and then release the parasite to send into Peter.”
“That’s good enough?”
If so, Adriana is certainly willing.
But Daisy … no, to be precise the person in front of her is Ruth, Adriana’s real mother.
She shook her head, her eyes swirling with microwaves, “It can only suppress the child compulsion and renew his life.”
Ruth sighed and added: “You must take Obren’s unique herb, let the herb seep into the mother parasite, and then inject Peter’s blood daily. The toxicity of that herb enters Peter’s body with the mother parasite, but it doesn’t last long. So you have to take the herb daily and inject Peter’s blood daily. Shortly three months, long three or five years. Most likely, it will kill you, do you understand?”
She stood in front of Adriana and took her hand.
When feeling the sudden closeness of her own mother, Adriana was a little unfamiliar and was very uncomfortable drawing back her hand.
Looking at Peter, who was sitting on the bed, with a serious face, “What if you can’t suppress it even in three or five years?”
“No more than five years at the most, it will definitely be suppressed. But …”
She spoke with a beat, wanting to say, “But if you can’t hold up halfway, you’re not the only one who will fall.”
The implication is that if she dies, Peter will surely die too.
“Silly girl, think it through.”
She took off a necklace from her neck, and hanging from it was an inky purple jade pendant with fantastic patterns carved into it.
Shoving something into Adriana’s hand, “You are a descendant of Obren, and you are the one who will bear the heavy responsibility of Obren in the future. You must think twice before you act.”
A sudden sense of mission, a sense of responsibility falls on Adriana, making her feel the pressure.
Looking at the jade pendant that still had a hint of warmth in her hand, Adriana asked instead, “Can I … never go back to Obren again?”
Her question seems to have caught Ruth, and she was silent for a long time before saying, “All I can say is that everything is up to you, it’s all your choice, but the jade pendant you must take. Even if you die, you can’t let Brenden take it away.”
“Why should I get it? Wouldn’t it be better for you to keep it. ”
Adriana had some doubts.
I don’t understand why Ruth would give the jade pendant to Adriana.
She has kept it all intact for 20 or 30 years, so why give it to her now.
“You keep it is. Just one thing you must be clear, Peter, do you want to save or don’t you want to save?”
Ruth looked sideways at the sleeping Peter over there, “I know you like him, but you’ve been through …”
“You don’t have to say so much, I have decided that I will try even if I risk death. What’s more …”
Adriana looked at the quiet man sleeping over there, in the old days it always felt like every meeting with him was a parting of life and death.
And now, with her help, Peter might just survive.
Why didn’t she give it a try?
Adriana hooked her lips and smiled, “Back then, you were also crazy about love. I think, at this moment, what I am thinking in my heart, you should know very well.”
Once you fall in love, you will not easily let go.
Ruth suddenly laughed at Adriana’s words, “Not bad for my Ruth’s daughter, she has a backbone.”
Immediately, a sad emotion surfaced on her face, “You have been with Peter for a long time, you should know that his body was cold and hot when he was sick and in pain.”
Adriana nods her head.
And Zac from beginning to end has been standing next to silent, but from his serious face can be seen Zac to Ruth is fear, or a subordinate to the boss of obedience.
Ruth added uneasily: “Each matriarch will inject the mother compulsion in his body after birth, and each compulsion is different. After you were born, I did not inject you with the mother compulsion, but now you have the mother compulsion in your body, if I guess correctly should be Obren others single-handedly. brenden, is the most suspicious, after all, he is the most convenient to approach you and Peter.”
Whenever she thought about it, Ruth felt deeply guilty that she had failed to protect Adriana.
“The mother parasite can sleep for a long time if it is not awakened and will not die and will not cause any harm. The daughter parasite is the opposite, and when injected into the body, it is very active and can take a person’s life. Historically, all the clan leaders know that the mother compulsion is awakened and take a herb of Obren can kill the daughter compulsion. But no one would ever try to awaken the mother compulsion, nor did they know what harm the mother compulsion could do, do you understand?”
Ruth told Adriana all about the situation and hoped she would make her own choice.
And Adriana’s situation Ruth is also very clear, if you can not save Peter, only afraid that Adriana’s insomnia is also difficult to cure, the final result will not be good to anywhere.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of coming over to help Peter.
Just the thought of what Adriana had to suffer later, she felt immense heartache and self-recrimination.
Adriana looked at Peter next to her, her thoughts unwavering, “No matter how it ends, try it.”
Having seen the symptoms of Peter’s illness, Adriana was really heartbroken.
But the pain is not comparable to life and death, naturally.
“By the way, can I ask one thing? Who is my … father? Any relation to The Alston family?”
Before also let Giovanny investigate the matter, since now Ruth appeared, of course she had to ask personally to be better.
“You don’t need to know who he is, but remember, he’s not from The Alston family.”
Ruth, of course, knew what Adriana wanted to know, so she gave the results very directly, but hid the secret of his real father.
“Oh, good. Let’s get started then.” Adriana didn’t ask any more questions, knowing full well that there wasn’t much time and that there was a lot of fighting going on outside.
“Good, I hope you won’t regret your choice.” Without saying anything else, Ruth turned around and sat on the couch and started to blow the ocarina.
That tune at first glance sounds exactly the same as the tune just now, but on closer inspection, it seems that the melody is still very different.
But the tune is still a little spooky seeping, if it is in the darkness of the late night a person listening to this tune, will be scared to death.
Because it’s really too creepy and oozy.
Adriana lay still, but did not notice the tears that were heavy in Ruth’s eyes.
Her own daughter was right in front of her, she wanted to hug her, but unfortunately time was running out, she didn’t dare to delay a second.
Adriana lay on her bed, listening to the tune. At first, she felt nothing, but as the tune became louder and louder, she found it hard on her body.
“Well … cold … I’m a little cold …”
The cold was acceptable at first, but now she’s shivering with cold and can’t help but speak up.
