Now it seems that everything is as Ruth expected.
She knows she will definitely not go back to Obren, so she uses the compulsion in Peter’s body to come to her rescue and takes the opportunity to activate the compulsion in her body to force her to go back to Obren!
This thought really stunned Adriana, and the whole person was immersed in the terrible thought for a long time.
Old Mr. Soto saw her in pain and did not speak.
What’s more, he didn’t expect that she could guess so much when he just said something about letting Adriana go back to Obren.
His silence reinforced the idea in Adriana’s mind.
Adriana closed her eyes and took a moment to wait for her mood to calm down a little and her head to be less groggy before she opened her eyes and said lightly, “I know you must have a way to reach Ruth. but … you tell her that I won’t go back to Obren. me. And definitely do not have such a mother!”
Calculation!
Girlfriends calculate, friends calculate, the real mother calculate …
Adriana has thought about how bad one’s life can be, but definitely not one that would be as bad as hers.
From the moment of birth, it was in the reckoning.
From landing on the ground and screaming, to now running three people, after so many things, Adriana feels that she is a miracle to be strong and alive.
She wonders even more what reasons and beliefs sustain Ruth that could make her do such an extreme thing!
Previously there was not much concept of Ruth, did not say very much like, but at least she saved Peter, the heart is grateful.
But now, the little bit of gratitude that remained was gone.
In its place, … rejects, resists … with, disgust!
Adriana even felt that if Harlee knew these things she would be furious and would never have anything to do with Ruth and the others ever again.
Adriana’s reaction took Old Mr. Soto by surprise.
He was amazed at Adriana’s intelligence, but didn’t know what to say.
After a long period of silence, he said, “Adriana, don’t get carried away, your mother wouldn’t be that kind of person. She and Archie really love you two kids.”
“Love? Oh.”
Adriana smiled and looked up at the window. It was very dark outside, and even though it was already six in the morning, there was no hint of dawn.
The cold winter day dawn is so late, in contrast to the long cold night bone chilling, so that people feel a darkness, can not see the end of the light.
Like Adriana now, she is so immersed in it that she can hardly control herself.
“Grandpa Soto, you don’t have to say anymore. Get some rest, and if you have anything to say to honey, he will protect you.”
Adriana stood up, jerking up and getting a little dizzy, she immediately reached out and held the seat to steady herself from Old Mr. Soto.
She said, “You turn around and tell Ruth that her company, and the … Fryer Group, are not something I will be going back to.”
Since she guessed what Ruth was thinking, Adriana didn’t want to have anything to do with Ruth anymore, let alone with Obren.
She felt tired, very tired.
Is it really that hard to just want a peaceful and calm life?
“Adriana? Adriana?”
Old Mr. Soto got up and called out a few times, but Adriana didn’t even bother to turn around.
Instead, Old Mr. Soto, who was also physically weak, simply reached out and patted his hand on the bed with a sigh.
Now, that’s bad.
Because it was a VIP room, one room, Adriana came out of the bedroom and Peter was not in the living room, but outside.
She dragged her frail body to the door, and as she pushed the door open, she heard Peter telling the people outside, “Take good care of Old Mr. Soto, if anything happens to him, you will be the only ones to ask. Also, no one from the Soto family is allowed to come over.”
“Yes, boss.”
The two bodyguards nodded.
At this time the door of the ward pulled a gap, Peter saw Adriana came out from inside, immediately went forward, a hand to hold her.
“Adriana, why did you walk out on your own?”
Cold winter, she was barefoot, Peter’s brow was knitted and his face was a little ugly.
Wanted to reprimand her, but couldn’t.
Immediately went up and leaned down and picked her up, “Why didn’t you call me?”
It is clear that the words are concerned, but it is not difficult to hear that he is a little angry.
Adriana shook her head, “It’s okay, I’m fine. Go back to your room, I’m sleepy.”
Leaning on his chest, Adriana closed her eyes directly without speaking.
Peter asked, “Is Old Mr. Soto pretending to be unconscious in defense of the Soto family?”
Just now Adriana was talking to Old Mr. Soto, he heard the voice, but then walked out of the living room.
He never had a preference for eavesdropping on corners.
Except, of course, for the Floedan country quadrangle thing.
“I don’t know.”
Adriana closed her eyes and said only three words.
She didn’t know why Old Mr. Soto was pretending to be unconscious, and even though she was guarding against the Soto family, Adriana didn’t feel the need to do so.
It’s more like Old Mr. Soto wants to lie down in the hospital and shake off the management of the company.
Trying to force her and Harlee both to take care of his allotted property.
Adriana’s heart is tired, very tired, very tired.
Peter saw Adriana’s face pale, and immediately said, “Let’s go back and rest for a while, I’ll arrange a plane right away, and we’ll go to Motril after dawn.”
“No!”
When she heard that she was going to Motril, Adriana’s eyes glared and she immediately refused, “I’m not going.”
She doesn’t want to go, she doesn’t want to go!
Her strong reaction made Peter sense that things were not so simple.
Peter wrinkled his eyebrows and asked, “Adriana, what’s going on, did something happen?”
A hunch that it should be in the ward where Old Mr. Soto said something to Adriana.
But Adriana seemed reluctant to come clean with him.
Peter didn’t press the issue, but just carried her back to the hospital room, put her on the bed, and covered her with bedding. Then he sat at the end of the bed and held out his hands to cover Adriana’s feet.
It was cold and Adriana’s feet were icy cold, almost colder than the snow and ice outside.
Peter looked at her lying on the bed, with her eyes listless and her whole heart heavy, finally couldn’t help himself and asked, “Adriana, do you trust me?”
“Hmm?”
Adriana froze, then nodded, “We’re family, why wouldn’t I trust you?”
“Then why are you hiding something from me?”
Peter directly asked the doubts in his mind.
From the moment she walked out of Old Mr. Soto’s hospital room, Peter thought something was wrong.
She was quiet all the way, silent, and then more sure of what Peter had in mind.
“Why don’t you want to go to Obren?”
He asked once again.
Adriana leaned back on the pillow and looked at Peter, meeting him at eye level.
Looking at his handsome face, deep contours, handsome and handsome as always, exactly the same as the memory of him.
Adriana’s lips tugged at the corners, “Because I think I’m fine now and there’s no need to go to Obren.”
