Raylan smiled lightly, that smile has a deep meaning, but Adriana can not figure out what Raylan means.
“You are very weak now, you only need to rest for several days to recover, have you thought of what to say on Peter’s side?”
He asked.
The sudden question made Adriana a little confused, froze for a long time and shook her head, “I hadn’t thought about it.”
What happened today was all an accident.
If she and Raylan had not reacted in time, I’m afraid Peter would have found out everything.
How is a ‘cheating’ woman going to face her husband?
It’s a question she really hasn’t thought about and doesn’t know how to ‘act’.
“Is it worth it?”
Raylan held the porcelain bowl in one hand, ladled the soup in the other and blew on it, passing it to her lips.
“It’s worth it.”
She knew Raylan was asking about Peter, so she gave a straightforward recovery.
The tone of voice is firm.
“Sometimes it’s really quite envious of Peter.”
He lamented, and it was not hard to hear his envy and jealousy of Peter.
Adriana blinked her eyelashes and raised her eyelids slightly, “I would have done the same thing if it were you.”
Will definitely do so.
He gazed at Adriana incredulously, puzzled, and asked, “Why?”
Adriana pursed her lips, “Do you need a reason?”
Whether it was him, Alvin, or Peter, they were all worthy of her.
Because she owes them too much, too much, too much to pay back.
“I believe you.”
Raylan was silent for a few seconds, a smile appeared on his thin lips, and he proceeded to ladle soup to Adriana.
Three words are enough to express all Raylan’s thoughts.
He trusts Adriana, absolutely.
Because he knows that Adriana is not a good liar.
After finishing the soup, Raylan said, “Lie down and rest while I go get some groceries.”
“Raylan, I’m sorry to trouble you.”
She was lying on the bed, weak, that is, she could not lift her arms, no different from a waste.
Walking to the bedroom door Raylan glanced back at her, “Follow me, no need to be polite.”
For him, every moment now is a rare and precious opportunity, a chance to care for and look after her with confidence and boldness.
He closed the door and walked out.
Adriana lay in bed, looking at the ceiling, sleepy and unable to open her eyes, she drifted off to sleep.
The good thing is that she had drawn blood and stored it before she left, so it would not affect the treatment of Peter’s condition.
Even if this time Peter finds out about her ‘entanglement’ with Raylan and wants to divorce her, there is no harm in that.
She would do anything willingly as long as it did not interfere with Peter’s treatment.
Because of her excessive weakness, she slept until late afternoon and when she opened her eyes, it was drowsy outside.
Howling wind, like a ghost howling wolf, mixed with a snowstorm rustling and falling, outside a silver dress.
Adriana loved the snow scene and wanted to get up to see it, but she was too weak to get up, so she lay in bed with her head on her side and looked out the window at the snow.
Abruptly, as if he thought of something, reached out and picked up his phone from the table and turned it on.
Even the simplest of movements are incredibly difficult for her.
Phone on, buzzing …
Vibrate up non-stop.
All kinds of missed calls and all kinds of text messages flooded into the phone.
There are family and friends, two children, and … Peter.
Adriana looked at the screen showing the name of the note [honey], and a sour feeling welled up in her heart, hurting vaguely.
She moved with difficulty, sleeping on her side, leaning her hand on the bed to hold the phone without straining too much.
He wiggled his thumb on the screen, hesitated a bit, and finally dialed Peter’s phone number.
“Doodle doo …”
Several sounds came from the phone, and no one answered after four consecutive rings.
Adriana’s heart tightened and she wondered: was he angry and never wanted to answer her calls?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, the phone was answered.
Peter: “…”
When the call was answered, the person on the other side did not speak.
Since actually being with Peter, he is always in an excited and elated mood when he gets a call from her.
Each time it was he who spoke first, each time with a gentle tone of concern and care for her.
Today a call was made but I couldn’t wait for a voice.
Adriana’s heart was empty, some pain, some hard feelings, even breathing was a little weak.
“… honey?”
Calling his name with difficulty, he immediately asked: “What are you doing, busy or not? These two days I was busy with work, and my phone broke, so I took it to the cell phone store to fix it. So only now I gave you a call.”
The words prepared in your head were spoken in a rush.
A paragraph said calmly and naturally, in turn, people do not notice any abnormalities.
“Hmm.”
After saying that, the other party just ‘hmm’.
The voice was cold, very cold.
Through the phone can feel like to the ice cellar of the cold breath, people back chills.
Adriana bite her lips with her shell teeth, very nervous, but still pretended to be calm and asked, “What’s wrong with you, it sounds like you’re not happy? Is it … miss me?”
Deliberately make the tone of your speech a bit cheerful, just so as not to show your face.
I did not know that the distant distance, heart to heart two people are immersed in the same time, struggling … wandering …
“When are you coming back?”
“I guess … three days later. When you are done, hurry up and take them out of the country, pack up over there, and we will spend New Year’s abroad.”
“Well, good.”
“Honey, remember to take your medication on time, and take care of your body when it gets cold.”
“You too.”
“Okay then, I have some things to do, so I won’t talk to you anymore. Bye~”
Adriana pretended to calmly finish the last sentence with him, and did not wait for Peter to answer, she directly hung up the phone.
Clutching the phone with both hands, I closed my eyes, only to feel a sore nose and a burst of dull pain welling up in my chest, cone and sting.
It turns out that lying can be so painful.
Just chatting with Peter, she can actually feel his unhappy mood very clearly, and even heartache Peter.
But no matter how Peter misunderstood, she would carry the ‘stigma’ to the end.
Unless Peter is cured, these things will be rotten in the heart forever.
Afterwards, I called Helen and Luis to chat with the two children and then urged them to visit Peter and spend time with him.
The two children readily agreed.
Adriana’s body was already very weak, and she was a little tired from the two phone calls, so she lay down to sleep again.
A few days of muddling through, waking up for a while and sleeping for a while, sleeping for a while and waking up for a while.
Even she didn’t know exactly how long it had been.
Raylan was in charge of her food and living during the few days she was there, but because it was physically inconvenient, she didn’t bathe for several days in a row, leaving Adriana feeling dirty and all.
If you want to take a shower and you are weak, you have to hold back.
“Awake?”
Because he was worried about Adriana’s health, Raylan stayed at the bedroom door and settled down to sleep on the couch.
