Chapter 259: Signs of premature abortion
When Lucila finished speaking, she blinked and looked at Allyce with a look of innocence on her face.
Allyce looked at her and smiled: “You think I’m going to believe that?
“Why not believe it? It’s normal for people like Neto to be deceived”.
Lucila snorted, a hint of disdain on her face as she continued, “Getting cheated on now is no big deal! It’s only a matter of time before a man like him attracts the wrath of women, and maybe later some woman will take him while he sleeps …..”
A shiver ran down Allyce’s spine at Lucila’s sombre look and she didn’t forget to corner her: “You dare to say something, too!
Lucila shook her head, “No, I’m not just saying that, I’m going home to pray every day from today onwards …”
Allyce held her forehead, what a grudge she must have!
“Anyway, he’s your boss too”.
“He’s always bullying me!”
Allyce looked at her mischievously and asked, “What did he do to you?”
“… What do you do what! Going shopping, I have so many things to buy.” Lucila glared hatefully at Allyce and pulled her into the mall.
…
Lucila had strength.
As Allyce followed Lucila through the mall, all the frustration she had felt for days seemed to clear.
Only, the more the two of them shopped, the more crowded the mall became, and with the heat and the air not circulating, Allyce began to feel sick.
“Vomit …”
Allyce picked up a dress and was about to ask Lucila to try it on when her stomach started to get upset again.
“I’m going to go to the bathroom.” Allyce dropped the dress, said this urgently and ran to the bathroom.
Lucila saw Allyce’s ugly face and didn’t mind buying clothes, so she left the few clothes she had chosen and ran after her.
Allyce ran to the bathroom, hugged the sink and started to vomit, but nothing came out.
“Allyce, how are you?”
Lucila came up behind her and saw how badly Allyce had vomited, and rushed to give her water and a handkerchief.
“Thank you.” Allyce rinsed her mouth and wiped it again, her voice a little weak.
Lucila frowned and looked at her with a worried face: “What’s wrong with you? You seemed to have lost weight when I saw you before, are you ill?
“I had an upset stomach a while ago.” Allyce tugged at the corners of her mouth, smiling a little faintly.
Lucila asked: “You haven’t taken any medication?
Allyce let out a long sigh and leaned against the sink: “I didn’t take any medication when I got my period.
“Why didn’t you say so? If I had known you weren’t feeling well, I wouldn’t have asked you to come shopping”.
Lucila’s tone sounded a little whiny.
Allyce patted him on the shoulder with a smile on her face: “No big deal, I’m not that golden, come on, let’s go on”.
“Get on with what, go eat!” shouted Lucila fiercely at him and then brought the bag to him as soon as she had it in her hand.
Allyce knew Lucila was worried about her and just smiled, saying nothing.
…
The two found a restaurant to eat.
When the food arrived, Allyce started to feel sick after two mouthfuls, just like before.
Allyce simply didn’t bother to eat.
Lucila looked at Allyce thoughtfully and asked: “Is it really a stomach problem?
The more I looked at her, the more I thought Allyce was pregnant.
“Yes.” Allyce was quite tormented, her face pale as she leaned back in the sofa chair, and she answered breathlessly.
Lucila put down her chopsticks and looked at her with a stony expression: “Did you get your period on time?
“Yes, on time, but a little unusual, very little. Not just a little, actually, just a little.
Lucila sniffed, confusion crossing her face, “Are you sure it was that period? It always seemed to me that you … were pregnant ….”
“You talk like it’s a lot of experience.” Allyce couldn’t help but laugh.
“That’s what they do on TV, when you’re pregnant you want to throw up and stuff, is the amount of that you have really small? I’ve heard that new pregnancies are unstable and can show signs of early miscarriage …”
Lucila said a lot of things in one breath, but hesitated when she got to the last word, “set”.
Her eyes met Allyce’s and looked diagonally behind her.
Allyce turns her head and follows Lucila’s line of sight to the floor-to-ceiling window.
What caught his attention were some familiar figures.
Severo and Tajo, with Izar at their side.
“So, what’s going on?” Lucila pointed to Severo’s side and looked back down at Allyce.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
“That’s Severo’s grandfather, and Itzal is his grandfather’s saviour. Allyce spoke quietly, her tone indifferent to any audible emotion.
“Izar is your grandfather’s saviour?” Lucila’s eyes widened, having gotten the full picture of things.
Surprised to see Allyce’s indifferent face, she said: “And you’re not nervous at all?
“Well, there’s nothing to be nervous about, it’s not like Severo likes Izar,” what was the point of being nervous, was all I could think.
“Chief Betances’ grandfather seems to like Itzal, he’s not going to force Chief Betances and Itzal to be together, is he?
Lucila felt as if she knew something extraordinary.
“I don’t think so. After all, Tajo’s ideal granddaughter was a noblewoman.
Tajo couldn’t even look at Itzal.
Lucila frowned slightly: “Chief Betances doesn’t get along with his grandfather?
“Not bad.
Lucila nodded, not bad, that’s good.
“You should be careful Izar, as a rule, any enemy who is necessarily related to a man is a very powerful opponent, and old men and all that, the most annoying … I would love to find someone to marry who has no relatives in the future…. …”
Lucila said, and then began to run away from the subject.
Allyce said nothing, and her face faded a couple more times.
Lucila knew the truth, how could she not.
But there didn’t seem to be much he could do now, except wait for Severo to deal with the issue and not duck his head when Tajo arrived at his door.
…
Allyce and Lucila sat in the restaurant for almost two hours before leaving.
As soon as they did, they met Severo and his group.
She saw the flicker of surprise in Severo’s eyes and only looked at him for a second before quickly averting her gaze.
“Old Mr. Betances”.
He called Tajo first.
“Hmm.” Tajo looked at her and gave an indifferent response before looking back at Lucila for half a second and pronouncing, “Shopping with friends?”
It was clearly a deliberate attempt to find something to say.
She still remembered the day Tajo had gone to the flat to look for her.
Allyce was a little surprised by Tajo’s back-and-forth transformation, but she nodded, her face impassive: “Yes”.
