Chapter 204: It’s not OK to bully single dogs!
“Why don’t I keep watch for a while longer, boss, and you go to sleep, you’ve been awake all night. It was almost four o’clock and dawn was breaking.
Xabat said this with kindness and concern for Severo’s health, only for Severo to give him an unusually cold look.
Then, coolly, he said, “Does my wife need you to keep an eye on her?”
Xabat laughed inwardly and said: “Of course not.
But those words only dared to be spoken in their hearts.
He was still smiling, “If you need anything, boss, I’ll come back and get it for you”.
“Bring my computer.
“Agreed”.
…
Throughout the night, Allyce slept badly.
He tried to turn around, but there was always a force that prevented him from doing so.
It was not until dawn that he woke up.
As soon as he moved, Severo, who was lying next to him, spoke: “Don’t move”.
At the sound of Severo’s voice, his heart fluttered.
It had been more than ten days since he had heard Severo’s voice when he woke up early in the morning, and he felt as if he were in a dream.
“I’ll help you up.
Severo’s voice interrupted Allyce’s thoughts again.
He said this before apparently placing something on the bedside table before approaching to help her.
After helping Allyce up, she still had the good lying on her side.
Allyce raised her head to look and realised it was the laptop he had placed at the head of the bed.
Severo turned sideways again and fiddled with something on the computer before turning back to Allyce.
Allyce had slept well, if a little tired, and her face, which had been pale yesterday, had regained a hint of blood, but was still far from its usual state.
However, it was a good thing.
Severo bowed his head and leaned in to kiss her.
Allyce forgot to dodge, and when she looked up she saw the weariness in his eyes.
Allyce pushed gently and Severo let go.
Allyce asked him: “Didn’t you sleep last night?
“Busy with work. Severo merely replied weakly and got out of bed, looking as if he didn’t want to say more.
He got out of bed and fiddled with his computer for a while longer before helping Allyce wash up.
Allyce still felt a little uncomfortable.
The doctor came over, talked about his health, prescribed some more medicine and left.
…
In the afternoon, Lucila came to see her at the hospital.
“You’ve just had a lot of problems this year”.
Lucila frowned fiercely as she lay on her side on the bed, unable to move a muscle.
She had already been poisoned by Senona, and now she had been stabbed and was lucky to be OK.
I had just asked Xabat and, fortunately, Allyce was fine.
Allyce smiled slightly: “It was bad luck!
“And laughing!” Lucila glared at her and began to peel her apple.
As he peeled the apple, he asked Allyce: “Why did you suddenly meet a hooligan, someone wants money, you can just give it to them, life is more important, you have money anyway”.
Outside, Xabat didn’t explain in detail to Lucila either, only that he had met a hooligan.
Indeed, the men who had stopped Allyce and Severo on the road the night before had been a gang of hooligans.
“Well, next time we meet, I’ll give the money to the people.” Allyce clamped the corners of her mouth and smiled, touched in her heart, at what echoed his words.
However, when Lucila said this, she was again not satisfied: “It won’t happen again!
Allyce was quick to say: “There won’t be a next time, everything will be peaceful”.
“That’s more like it.” Lucila cut the apple into small pieces and gave Allyce a few.
She felt that Lucila was better for her than her father had been for her.
However, all memories of her father had been stuck for more than ten years and she had not seen him for more than ten years.
Every time he thought about it, he felt a blockage in his heart.
Lucila talked to her for a while and said as if something had suddenly occurred to her: “Did you know that Richie was arrested for hurting someone on purpose?
A flash of surprise crossed Allyce’s face, “Really? Who did he hurt?”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“He says he hurt the family butler, that he would sue him, and the Nuncio’s family loves him so much that they didn’t care enough to have him arrested, don’t you think that’s strange?”
Richie had a bad reputation in Cloud Cit, and the Nuncio family had a reputation for loving their son.
Much of what Richie did was covered up by the Nuncio family.
This time Richie injured the family housekeeper and was arrested, and word spread.
In fact, in a family like the Nuncio’s, the housekeeper’s injury was a minor matter and could have been covered up and the housekeeper paid to leave.
Allyce paused in thought: “It’s quite strange.
“Also, the Nuncio family’s stock has fallen very sharply today, and continues to fall, and I’ve heard that some good people have cancelled their association with the Nuncio family, so I think the Nuncio family has offended someone ….”
Lucila looked at Allyce with wide eyes, as if she wanted to find out something about her.
Everyone is eager to gossip, even Allyce, who was injured.
Allyce thought about it and asked: “Who do you think is so powerful in Cloud Cit?
Lucila really thought about it for a while, “I think there are two possibilities, firstly, the Delahoz and Aybar families are working together, but this is too improbable, after all, the families need to maintain a balance, and secondly …”.
“Of course, sir, the Delahoz!” Lucila looked at Allyce, “Who else do you think could be as good as that besides Mr. Delahoz?”
Severo?
It was a possibility, but what was the motive?
At that moment, Severo broke through.
He had changed his clothes, still in black, and his whole appearance was quiet and mysterious, even if it was the most discreet colour, but it silently attracted the gazes of the people around him.
“It’s been two hours, take a break”. Severo came over, poured her a glass of water and gave it to her.
Lucila exaggeratedly covered her eyes: “Have some love, it’s not right to bully single dogs!
Severo looked at Lucila: “What does it mean to intimidate a single dog?
Lucila shrugged his neck and explained in a whisper: “Those who, like me, have no partner are called single dogs, those of you who show love are butcher dogs”.
Severo nodded, seeming to understand, and then his eyes became slightly contemptuous again: “It’s just giving him water, and I’m brushing his teeth.
Lucila heard the boastfulness in Severo’s words.
Allyce turned her face away, “What are you talking about …”
We can’t pull this kind of thing out, it’s very, very humiliating.
“I am telling the truth.” Qin Mu turned away and put down his glass of water with a look of circumstance.
Allyce: “…”
