Zac’s heart stuttered and was stunned.
Hesitating for a few seconds, he gazed out the window in the same way, looking at the Waverly night scene, looking out at the snowflakes, a cold wind blowing in outside the window, cold to the bone.
“Five …”
“IV …”
“Three …”
Peter raised his wrist in a countdown for Zac.
“II …”
“One!”
After the last five seconds were counted, Peter glanced sideways, his gloomy gaze fixed straight on him, “Still not saying?”
Zac: “…”
The body stood stiffly in place, not knowing what to say.
“You can get lost, from now on, I Peter no longer have a brother like you.”
After he finished his words, he turned around without hesitation and left.
Zac took his hand, “Big brother, I’ll talk, I’ll talk, I’ll talk, can’t I?”
He sighed and skimmed, “When did you find out the end?”
I’ve hidden it so well, but I didn’t expect it to escape Peter’s eyes.
“Say!”
The man took a cigarette out of his pocket, held it in his lips, lit it, leaned against the wall, and waited quietly for Zac’s answer.
That overwhelming sense of oppression led Zac some helpless, immediately conceded, said, “Actually, Ruth and I met more than a decade ago …”
As he spoke, he looked at Peter, as if trying to analyze Peter’s heart from the micro-expressions on his face.
It’s just a pity to let him down.
Peter that a handsome face like a stagnant water, no ripples, can not see any difference.
He went on to say: “I went abroad that year, didn’t I? An accident offended a lot of gangsters, was chased in the street and beaten violently, then happened to meet Ruth, she stepped in and saved me. At that time I was seriously injured, so I followed her for a period of time. She was nice, a very kind-hearted person I’ve ever met, and my … idol. Since then I have not seen again, to say that after that meeting is probably Adriana from unnamed island back after I met with her, she said at that time let me protect Adriana, in the meeting is the last time in the Linhu Villa, the time of your surgery. She only instructed me to take care of Adriana, and said nothing else.”
“That’s all?”
Peter’s skeptical gaze fell on him, “You should know that I, Peter, hate people hiding and cheating.”
“Ah? Uh, actually … also … also nothing la, is that she knows a little bit about medicine, when we first met I worshiped her as a teacher. The rest is really not.”
“Really?”
“Really, really, a thousand times true, I want to lie to you, the sky will hit the five thunderbolts. Brother, this … I did not also think that Ruth would be Adriana’s mother at first.”
He smiled and said flatteringly, “Don’t be angry, it’s just a misunderstanding.”
“Hmph, concealing quite deeply.”
Peter cold eyes, “You said for me to take Adriana to Obren, is that what … Ruth meant?”
“Heh heh heh, big brother, you’re so smart, this matter was not even hidden from you. How did you know about it?”
The more he admired Peter, he couldn’t understand how he could still know about this matter.
Peter, got up, threw the cigarette butt into the trash, turned around and walked away.
And dropped the phrase, “Guess.”
“Guess … what, guess?”
Zac’s face changed and he trotted after him, “Shit, big brother, you’re counting me out?”
“So you didn’t tell me the truth? It’s a good thing you knew Ruth, if you had known Brenden privately instead, you’d probably be a corpse right now.”
From the very beginning Peter suspected Zac, is that after the operation, Zac to him more than hidden, and Adriana’s condition is also relatively more clear.
It is clear that both are doctors and know Chinese medicine, but Siena knows nothing.
He then became more and more suspicious of Zac.
That time back, Zac directly said to take Adriana to Obren, he felt some clues, and so it is, a gentle scare, he confessed all.
“Oh, what are you talking about, big brother, we are brothers, how could I have a personal relationship with Brenden.”
Zac’s heart thumped, but when he saw that Peter didn’t mean to find him, his hanging heart fell.
“You said it was Ruth who informed you that I should take Adriana to Obren. her. how did you get in touch with you?”
“Just a mystery caller called me about it, and then I called back and it was an empty number.”
Zac gave a truthful account, then sighed, “Ugh, I don’t understand Ruth is always mysterious, the dragon is invisible, like a worldly man, what is she really?”
Peter: “…”
This is a question that he would also like to know.
When he entered the ward, Peter said to Harlee, “I heard that Eliza came over? If you can’t, you can stay with Eliza. It’s almost New Year’s Eve, and you just got married this year, so you can’t leave her alone in Waverly.”
“She …”
“Eliza? Sister-in-law is here?”
Harlee’s sentence was just one word before Adriana, who was lying on the hospital bed, woke up.
Peter’s eyes lit up, and as soon as he grabbed Harlee, who was sitting in the escort chair and threw him aside, he immediately sat down and took Adriana’s hand, “Adriana, you’re awake?”
“Ouch, Shit!”
Harlee was thrown vigorously by Peter, almost hitting the wall, and was furious.
But back to see Peter and Adriana two people in love, but also think that Peter so much care for Adriana, but a good thing.
“Honey, why are you being so rude?”
Seeing this scene, Adriana smiled as she clutched Peter’s hand and looked at Harlee over there again, “Are you okay?”
She said with concern.
“It’s better to care about me than about yourself. How is it, is there anything uncomfortable?”
“It’s okay, my head isn’t so dizzy anymore, I’m just a little hungry.”
Just as she finished, her stomach cooperated by singing an empty city.
“You lie down well and I’ll go get you dinner.”
Peter reached out and ruffled the small strands of hair on her forehead, pinned it behind her ear, smiled at her dotingly and got up, “Wait for me, I’ll be back later.”
“Eh eh eh, forget it, it’s better for me to go.”
Harlee stepped forward, “You guys have a nice chat, I’m idle.”
She knows that Peter is very concerned about Adriana and wants to do everything himself, but Harlee remembers that there is still such a big misunderstanding between Peter and Adriana, so she just gives them a little more space to get along.
“Zac, come on, stay with me.”
Harlee took Zac, the light bulb, by the way.
The two men walked out of the ward and closed the door.
The ward was instantly quiet, and the two looked at each other, their eyes swirling with love.
Adriana turned sideways and pulled him with both hands, “What about Helen and Luis when you are always so present with me? I … really think we are very incompetent to spend good time with the children.”
As she drifted off to sleep, she dreamed of Peter, of her two children, and at the same time reflected deeply on the fact that she had not taken good care of them.
