As expected, when she turned her car around to look for Raylan, she spotted a familiar car with a familiar license plate on the side of the road.
She even wondered what the outcome would have been if she had been a step later.
Peter looked at Adriana in a daze, his eyes finally fell on Adriana’s injury, her white and slender hands spilled blood, dripping down her fingers to the ground, but she was oblivious.
“That’s a knife!”
Peter said, word for word.
Just three words, but from Peter’s mouth but with a heavy pain and despair, fell into Adriana’s ears, is very cone.
“No more for me? Am I free to go?”
Raylan acts bashful.
Even though he was really worried about Adriana, he didn’t want to stay on because … he just couldn’t see Adriana being misunderstood.
Not far from seeing her sad.
At this moment, Raylan how calm on the surface, how much pain inside.
He is envious, jealous, and jealous of Adriana’s obsessive and crazy love for Peter, but unfortunately … he will never have it in his life.
“You go.”
“Can’t!”
Adriana and Peter said at the same time.
Raylan stiffened and looked to the two men, “What, is there anything else I should say?”
“Adriana, you …”
Peter didn’t expect Adriana to appear out of nowhere, and faced with the situation at hand, he didn’t know what to say.
But Adriana couldn’t help it, she was in too much pain.
Even if the hand hurts at the moment, it is no match for the heartache of a million.
Raylan saw that Adriana’s hand was bleeding badly, and directly removed the neck tie, grabbed her hand and bandaged Adriana’s wound in front of Peter.
She … really can’t be bleeding.
No!
The moment his hand touched Adriana’s hand, the little woman’s cold, stinging heart was like a dagger stabbed deep into Raylan’s heart.
“Next time, don’t be so impulsive.”
Raylan couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
He held Adriana’s hand and bandaged her to stop the bleeding. Peter looked at Raylan and Adriana looked at Peter, torn inside.
“Honey, why are you doing this to Raylan? Did you … have some kind of conflict?”
She asked knowingly.
All the words were on her lips, and she even wanted to tell Peter that she was actually ‘with’ Raylan, but she couldn’t.
“I …”
Peter looked back at Adriana, and when he met the familiar face of the woman he loved, Peter’s mind reverberated with the loving scene of her and him in the bedroom of the Floedan quadrangle.
The pain was so intense that he couldn’t breathe.
The two just looked at each other, without saying a word, and Raylan just quietly helped Adriana dress her wounds.
The three people are in a somewhat awkward state, but they are all deep in each other’s hearts.
Only the bystander Hank knew in his heart, but he could not say anything, and even followed the heart of the three people suffered.
For a while, I couldn’t help but be a little distracted, so I went aside, took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked in silence.
He is also blaming himself, blaming his own incompetence, actually failed to help his own boss, but instead let him and the young lady two newborn divide, each torment.
“Adriana, where were you the night of the fifteenth?”
Peter looked at her and finally couldn’t help himself and asked.
“Fifteen?”
The young woman’s heart thumped for a moment, not expecting Peter to ask this question.
Her clear, watery eyes flickered, not daring to look directly at Peter’s gaze, but looking down at her hand, which was bandaged by Raylan, and clenching her fingers, the pain of the wound on her palm made the corners of her mouth grin.
But in how painful, it is no match for heartache.
“That … day I was at …”
“The staff at the Asnana Hotel said that you weren’t even in the hotel those days.”
Without waiting for Adriana to finish, Peter interrupted her directly.
Such a situation, Raylan can not intervene, so go to the side, leaning on the hood of his car, also followed the annoyance of smoking a cigarette.
“I … I was at … Raylan’s house that day.”
After thinking about it, Adriana really had no good excuse, so she said she was at Raylan’s house, and she wanted to test Peter’s innermost thoughts.
You know, Peter’s kindness to her in recent days has not changed as always.
Just a lot of times, when she saw Peter alone, he was sitting there in a daze, deep in thought, not knowing what he was thinking about.
That kind of Peter, the lonely back made her heart ache.
“What’s going on at Raylan’s house?”
Originally, Peter wanted to let bygones be bygones, but couldn’t resist the frequent contact between Adriana and Raylan, just didn’t expect that today his attack on Raylan would be discovered by Adriana.
In that case, he also wanted to ask Adriana about her attitude and wanted to know if Adriana would tell him the ‘truth’.
“At Raylan’s house … me … me …”
Adriana stammered for a long time, but she couldn’t make any sense out of it. Finally, she raised her voice and questioned with some dissatisfaction, “What do you think I can do in Raylan’s house? Are you trying to say we’re having an adulterous affair when we’re alone in the same room together?”
“Then why aren’t you answering your phone? How many days were you at Raylan’s house? Why didn’t you answer the phone for a few days? And Raylan didn’t answer his phone?”
Peter trusts Adriana more than anyone else.
But that one time in Floedan, Adriana’s ‘doings’ ruined all his trust in Adriana.
So much so that now Adriana is in front of him ‘dead set’ to keep the secret, to Peter’s dismay.
The emotions that had been suppressed for several days in a row also erupted.
He looked at Adriana who didn’t say a word, stepped forward, approached her and questioned, “Go ahead, why don’t you say something?”
Peter’s voice was flat and soft.
In the cold, windy winter night, the wind sounded like ghosts and wolves howling, even drowning out Peter’s voice.
But the more so, the more Adriana could feel the sense of powerlessness and frustration of Peter.
Being ‘betrayed’ by the woman you love, that kind of feeling, just to think about it is enough to be heartbreaking.
Not to mention the face of a woman for whom he once nearly died, he gave his all to love, love to the end waiting for the betrayal.
Adriana’s gaze flashed, her nose sore, a stream of tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back hard.
“Say, say what? honey, we’re both adults, you should have guessed that already, shouldn’t you? I am no longer the little girl I was when I had my physical needs. You are not well, I can understand, then I can not go to a person to relieve the needs?”
Peter: “…”
He did not say a word, except for shock, or shock, and finally all that remained was irony and ridiculousness.
The wind, still unabated.
The bare tree trunks are iced over, allowing the wind to blow, creaking and rattling.
A few people standing on the side of the road, in addition to the occasional passing honking cars, there will be no sound and movement.
Like a slow-motion, and as if time freezes, fixed in this time, witnessing the ‘tragic life’.
“Adriana!”
