Chapter 228: Taking it to the door yourself
“You don’t smoke?”
Gabrio asked Severo aloud as he sat down across from him.
Severo held his cigarette in his hand, without putting it down and without lighting it: “Aren’t doctors in the business of saving lives and helping the wounded? How can they let people smoke?
“Only in moderation”.
Gabrio let out a laugh, and a glint of interest flashed in the look he gave Severo.
Although I had not had much contact with Severo, I had the impression that he was a heavy smoker.
When he was still a student, his classmates often asked him how to stop smoking and drinking.
In fact, you could stop smoking just by thinking about it in your heart, although it was difficult, after all, the heart is often the most difficult to control.
“Hmm.” Severo replied without a sigh.
“You followed Allyce here to see Enzo?”
Gabrio was sympathetic; Allyce’s injuries didn’t even need to be checked, it was obvious from her appearance that she was recovering well.
He had not seen Enzo’s stay, but he had heard about him from whoever was there.
Without having to think deeply, Gabrio knew that it was Severo who struck the blow.
Severo’s eyes flickered slightly as he spoke coldly: “By the way.
It was impossible for him to take the time to come and see Enzo. The reason he couldn’t resist hitting Enzo was not only because he saw him leaving Allyce’s room, but also because of his old grudge.
He had been in a momentary state of confusion and had lost his temper at Enzo’s words.
Old grudges, old grievances, added up, and Severo still felt he hadn’t struck hard enough.
…
Allyce was taken by the doctor for an examination.
When she got to the examination room, she said a couple of nice things to the doctor and told him to check her out casually.
I could eat and sleep and I couldn’t be healthier.
Only that the wound on his back was still healing and needed attention from time to time, but that it had no impact on his daily life and that it was only Severo who gave it importance.
The doctor nodded knowingly.
After briefly examining Allyce, she spoke with some emotion: “Your husband is very good to you.
“Also … is fine.” Allyce pushed back the hair that had fallen across her forehead a little uncomfortably, and a scarlet blush crossed her face.
Bidding farewell to the envious doctor, Allyce let out a long sigh and headed for Gabrio’s office.
He pushed open the door and found the office empty.
Allyce reflected for a moment and then realised what was happening.
Severo had said that he had only brought her to the hospital for a check-up on a whim, so he hadn’t really had any intention of doing so in the first place.
Now that he saw that neither Gabrio nor Severo were there, he knew that both must have gone to look for Enzo.
…
Once Allyce was outside, he approached a nurse who was passing by and asked her, “Have you seen where the vice president is?
“She’s gone to the VIP room over there.” This nurse had seen Allyce before and when she asked where Gabrio was, she just said so.
As the nurse said this, she also pointed him in the right direction.
Allyce thanked him and headed that way.
As he passed, he saw Gabrio leaving the room.
“Gabrio”.
Allyce called out to him and ran to him.
Gabrio looked up and saw her, with a slightly surprised face, “What are you doing here, don’t you have a check-up?”
“Don’t lie to me, I don’t need a check-up when I’m well! Allyce was furious.
Gabrio smiled and reached out to rub the top of his hair, “That’s clever.
“My hair …,” said Allyce, reaching up to pull out her hair, which she had dragged Severo to dry for quite a while this morning.
The smile on Gabrio’s face faded, “I have things to do, first I’ll go back, Mr. Betances he … is still inside”.
He said, looking into the room behind him.
Allyce nodded and went to the door to look.
Gabrio called her “Allyce”.
“Hmm.
Allyce responded without turning her head, she saw Severo standing in front of the hospital bed and he seemed to be saying something, but she couldn’t hear him through the door of the room.
Gabrio saw that his mind was inside the room and swallowed the words that were on his lips, his voice a little soft, “I’m going back first”.
“Yes, goodbye.
Then Allyce turned her head and waved, probably because she was afraid of disturbing the people in the room, and her voice was very soft.
The expression on Gabrio’s face faded.
He turned towards his own ward, and on the way was greeted by nurses and doctors who nodded in response, their movements seeming somewhat mechanical.
…
In the room.
Enzo looked behind Severo and saw that it was empty behind him.
Not seeing the person he wanted to see, Enzo’s face sank slightly: “What are you doing here, do you regret now that you came to beg me?
Severo sniffed and didn’t even change his gaze for a moment.
Enzo only took Severo’s silence as acquiescence as he huffed, “It’s late, I’ll see you in court.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Growing up, even Jonas never hit him, except for a fight he had with someone at school when he was a kid, and the family of the boy he fought with was eventually forced to leave Cloud Cit.
In any case, it is now assumed that he was beaten by Severo for preventing him from laying hands on Senona, and that he was the one in the right.
He was thinking about how to deal with the big problem Severo was in when he was not expecting Severo to visit him.
“If I’m going to see you in court, please do it soon, I’m busy and I need to schedule in time. Severo’s face was unusually calm, but his words revealed a sense of contempt, even anger.
Enzo laughed in exasperation: “Severo, where does your confidence come from?
No one had spoken to him in that tone since he was a child, except his father Jonah.
“You don’t need to know,” Severo said, raising his wrist to look at his watch.
He timed it; he was on his way back and Allyce’s review had to be done.
Allyce wanted him to go and see Enzo, he had no objection, it was time to come and see if Enzo was badly hurt.
But when he saw that Enzo was still talking and laughing, he felt a little upset that he had been too soft.
As for Allyce herself, she didn’t have to come.
I hated to see Enzo on top of her.
Severo turned around and prepared to leave.
His gaze narrowed sharply as he looked in the direction of the door, his eyes suddenly sharpened.
Allyce, on the other side of the door, jumped in surprise when she met Severo’s gaze.
He turned suddenly and scared her to death.
Enzo did not see Allyce because Severo was too tall and blocked his view.
Seeing Severo leave, he couldn’t help but ask in a sarcastic tone: “Why didn’t Allyce come? It’s not because you didn’t let her come, is it?
