Raylan only recently had some suspicions, but after meeting Adriana today I realized how stupid I really was for not knowing how to meet her earlier.
Otherwise it would not have taken until today to realize how much she had suffered.
Although sometimes he couldn’t help, at least he could be there for Adriana when she was sick.
“It’s hot, it’s too hot …”
Adriana kept yelling about the heat.
Raylan frowned and finally opened all four windows directly, directly lowering the temperature to the minimum so as to relieve Adriana’s dryness.
Even if the wind is biting, blowing the face raw pain, freezing shivering, Raylan can grit his teeth through.
Because he knew that this little bit of cold wind brought less than one percent of the pain that Adriana suffered.
“Adri, bear with it, bear with it, it’s almost here.”
Raylan speeds up, calming Adriana as he drives faster and smoother, just hoping to reach his destination sooner.
Huzzah-
At that moment, Adriana’s cell phone rang.
Adriana was in so much pain and suffering that she couldn’t care less about who was calling.
Raylan glanced at the phone and saw Peter on the screen!
Several phone calls came in quick succession and Raylan wanted to put Adriana on the phone to reassure Peter so that he wouldn’t notice.
But seeing Adriana’s fists clenched, clenched teeth, the back of her head against the car seat chest slightly raised in pain expression, finally did not speak.
Peter kept calling Adriana’s cell phone and no one answered after several calls in a row.
And then, Raylan’s cell phone followed.
He pulled out his phone and glanced at the screen, and sure enough, it was still Peter’s.
As of now, it’s been almost two hours since they left the hotel, and Raylan knows Peter must be looking for him and Adriana’s whereabouts.
But seeing Adriana’s appearance, Raylan didn’t dare to answer the phone either.
“Raylan, I’m so hot, it’s too hot, I want to get off …”
Adriana struggled to unbuckle her seat belt, Raylan was quick to clasp her hands and said soothingly, “Adriana, take a deep breath, calm your mind, hold on, we’re almost there.”
He followed anxiously, holding the steering wheel in one hand and Adriana’s hand in the other, throttling down to the floor, invariably testing his skills.
“Adriana, bite the bullet, it will be fine soon.”
“I’ll sing to you, okay?”
“Since I met you, you never seem to have heard me sing to you …”
Raylan kept talking to Adriana, trying to distract her, but Adriana was in so much pain that she couldn’t possibly hear him.
Already hot to the extreme, feel like the whole body is going to burst, two ears tingling, the brain is blank.
“Raylan, I’m so sick, water … I want water …”
She yelled for water again, and Raylan slowed the car down, brought a bottle of water from the back and handed it to Adriana.
Adriana took the water, unscrewed it, took a sip, and then drizzled it directly on herself.
Nine cold days, the wind will feel cold, she even poured the cold water all over her head.
Raylan’s face is slightly sunken, and the bottom of his eyes are indescribably helpless.
Her heart aches for her, but there is nothing she can do.
Eventually thirty minutes later, they arrived at a remote countryside, the same country quadrangle where Adriana had stayed the last time she was sick.
The quadrangle is Raylan’s grandmother’s house.
The limo stopped, he pushed open the door and got out, went straight around to Adriana’s side, opened the door and helped Adriana unbuckle her seat belt.
“Adri, we’re here …”
He reached for Adriana, but when his hand touched her skin, the burning temperature was comparable to that of a forty degree fever.
If this continues, she will definitely not be able to eat.
Raylan was worried.
“Well … where is this …”
The heat was soothed, and Adriana’s mind cleared a bit before she asked.
“Courtyard, my grandma’s house, came to stay before, remember?”
“Well, remember. raylan … thank you …”
Adriana leaned against Raylan’s side, very relieved.
Having someone around who makes her feel at ease when she is sick is the greatest happiness.
“I’ll take you in first.”
Adriana was so weak from the fever that she was walking a little weak, and it was Raylan who ended up carrying her across the body.
Her body lifted off the ground and her weight pressed down on Raylan’s body. The lightness of her body at that moment exceeded Raylan’s expectation, so it gave him a heart attack, “Damn, how can you be so thin now?”
He wanted to curse Peter, but felt that everything was done voluntarily by Adriana and had nothing to do with Peter.
Entering the quadrangle, Raylan carried Adriana directly to the master bedroom and placed the person on the bed, “Adri, get some rest, it’s unlikely that Peter will find it here.”
Raylan knew that there was no way Peter would find this place in two days.
“Thanks.”
The person lying on the bed curled up, because of the fever, similar to a high fever, only the pain exceeded the fever by more than a hundred times, and now that the heat has subsided, she feels painful and uncomfortable all over her body.
“Raylan, quilt … air conditioning, fire …”
The little woman lay on the bed, her hands casually resting on the quilt, her fingers flicking slightly now and then, her eyes closed as she muttered.
The phrase seemed to be talking to himself, but Raylan instantly reacted.
That is Adriana now the hot feeling is subsiding, followed by cold …
Standing by the bed, Raylan looked down woodenly at the nearly semi-conscious woman, heartbroken to the core.
How many times should she have been tortured in order for her to be able to react torturously calm in the face of the immense pain of the attack?
“Okay, I’ll get you ready now …”
Raylan turned on the air conditioning, turned the temperature up to the highest, and then turned the floor heating on again, before going to build a fire and hug the bedding.
Once the series of things were busy, he found Adriana already wrapped in bedding and shivering.
But her clothes … are still very wet.
Raylan wanted to help her change, but in the end said nothing because of the relationship between the two.
Moved a chair and sat next to Adriana, keeping her company quietly.
“Cold … so cold … so cold …”
Adriana wailed.
The cold seems to run out from the heart, cold feeling wrapped around the internal organs, freezing all over the body like pain, so Adriana some powerless to fight.
“Well …”
The little woman clenched her teeth, wrapped tightly in the bedding, and tried not to cry or shout or scream.
Raylan covered Adriana’s body with all three bedding, and finally gave up after looking at the two bedding put aside.
She is now very heavy with cold, covered with more bedding will not help, but rather more bedding will cover the pressure of her uncomfortable.
The little woman whispered incessantly, the man quietly kept watch, looking sideways at the clock, the time only want eleven fifty.
That is, ten minutes to face the most painful stage.
Raylan looked at the scene in front of him, his heart clenched together, not knowing what to do.
“It’s too cold, it’s too cold …”
