Chapter 290: Do you have a boyfriend?
Allyce came home and sent a text message to Gabrio.
But Gabrio did not answer immediately.
It was probably busy.
Allyce didn’t think much about it, but it suddenly occurred to her as she drove away in the car park that she saw in the rear-view mirror that Gabrio wasn’t getting into the car.
He was standing there, it looked like he was seeing her off, but in reality it looked like he was…. waiting for someone?
Who was he waiting for?
Allyce’s heart squeezed, it couldn’t be Severo, could it?
The idea that the two men might go to fight without her knowing worried Allyce a little.
He took out his phone to call Gabrio, thought of something and switched to Severo.
Gabrio was always kind, but there was no way she could find out from him what she didn’t want Allyce to know.
The call went on for a long time, but went unanswered.
Allyce turned around, grabbed her coat and went out.
At that moment, the phone that had not hung up was answered.
He put the phone to his ear and heard Severo’s hoarse voice: “Allyce?
It was so quiet on her side that Allyce could hear even the wind.
Allyce asked him: “Are you out there?
“Yes.” Severo finished and added: “Beef ate too much in the evening and I took him out for a walk”.
Allyce frowned slightly.
I don’t know if it was just her, but I always thought Severo’s voice sounded, well, a little lost ….
Unable to say what emotion was at stake, Allyce asked once again, “Are you OK?”.
Severo did not answer her question directly; he was silent for a moment before saying: “We …”.
“Grrr~”
It was at that moment that the water in the boiling kettle was boiling and had overflowed a lot.
As he approached, he said into his phone: “That’s all for now, I have things to do, I’m hanging up now”.
Having said this, and without waiting for Severo to answer, he hung up the phone.
He hung up the phone, flicked the switch on the kettle and picked up the water glass to pour himself some water.
Staring at the boiling water coming out of the spout, she was a little lost in thought.
What was I going to say … Severo a moment ago?
…
Allyce didn’t sleep well tonight because of last night’s phone call, and Severo’s last unfinished sentence.
Early morning.
He stood in front of the mirror and touched his face, which did not look very good.

The miscarriage had not done much damage to her body.
But he felt that his body, now, was not what it used to be.
Washing, putting on make-up, changing clothes, going out.
I always used to procrastinate a bit on these things.
Maybe because he thought he was young and had a lot of time left.
In the last two years, as she has been very busy at work, she has rushed through a lot of things.
By now, it had become a habit.
As she drove to the office, Allyce left the car park and, as she walked, she habitually pulled out her phone and scrolled through the news, and when she saw something about Izar, she skipped it.
“Allyce, good morning.
A male voice came out of nowhere, which made Allyce freeze.
He looked up and saw Gabrio standing by the roadside with a thin bag in his suit, his posture as straight as a pine tree.
“Gabrio, what are you doing here?” Allyce came up to him sharply and smiled broadly.
“You haven’t had breakfast yet, have you?
Gabrio smiled and handed her the bag in his hand: “Here, I took it on the way.
“Don’t tell me you bought an extra one, because the breakfast place bought one for one. Allyce pursed her lips and smiled, but reached out to take it anyway.
Gabrio withdrew his hand and copied it into his trouser pocket.
“Do you believe me when I say I’ve come all this way?”
“Don’t believe it.
Allyce bristled and glanced at the contents of the bag and her eyes lit up.
Gabrio’s smile slipped, “I couldn’t even try to lie to you, there’s a patient who had an early morning seizure and lives around here, I’ve been busy so far, and when I was having breakfast, I thought you were working around here, so I stopped by.”
“That’s more like it, I’ll get up first then, thanks for breakfast, do you want to go upstairs and have a look?”. Allyce asked him.
Actually Su Zi was just asking casually, but to his surprise Gabrio smiled and replied: “Um, yes.
Allyce: “…”
…
When Allyce left Gabrio and returned, she saw several people whispering together on the road.
He vaguely heard words like “only child” and “… private hospitals are rich …”.
Allyce pinched her forehead, even without listening carefully, she could guess that these people were talking about her and Gabrio.
I hadn’t thought about it before, mainly because I was too familiar with Gabrio to think about the possibility of causing unnecessary trouble.
Now it seemed that there would still be rumours to avoid.
By the end of the day, the news that Allyce and her boyfriend were the only child of a family of doctors had spread throughout the company.
Even Desiderio, who was in Ciudad del Cielo, had heard about it.
Allyce had gathered her things and was about to leave when she received a call from Desiderio.
Desiderio’s first words sounded normal: “Out of work?
“Yes, I’m getting ready to go back.” Allyce answered the phone as she headed for the door.
“I heard that … has a boyfriend”. Desiderio’s tone was a little hesitant.
Allyce was stunned for a moment and her voice stuttered, “Wh-what? What boyfriend?”
Desiderio’s tone rose: “The only son of Kemen Ortis, a family of doctors”.
Kemen Ortis was the same name as Gabrio’s father.
Allyce bit her lip and reached up to scratch her hair in annoyance.
“It’s not, I’ve just brought him to the office to look, where he’s going out, listen to them!” muttered Allyce.
She knew there were people from Desiderio’s team in the office, but there was no need to tell her that!
Allyce explained to Desiderio for a while longer before hanging up the phone.
When he reached the garage, he pulled the car out and called Gabrio as he drove.
He told Gabrio.
Gabrio laughed as he listened: “Is your imagination so vivid in this business?
“You have the courage to say that.
“Then I’ll buy you dinner as compensation”.
“Good! Go to …” He was about to say go to Kimdis, but stopped abruptly and said, “Go for the most expensive one.”
“Eat what you want”.
Gabrio smiled faintly and opened up.
Only the smile didn’t stay on his face for long before hiding.
Such an outcome, I had guessed.
Allyce just trusted him too much to think he was up to anything.
…
Xabat made several calls to Severo, to no response.
He also went to the Cloud Bay hut to look for him, and there was no one there either.
Finally, he made his way to the Kimdis, Severo’s exclusive private room.
As soon as the door opened, Xabat took half a step back as he smelled the alcohol inside.
Severo, slumped on the sofa, heard the door open and sat up abruptly, unconsciously saying: “Allyce!
