Chapter 30:Liar!
Allyce’s head got dizzier and dizzier. She touched the blood on her face and slowly stood up and took a few steps.
He had to find a taxi and get to the hospital. He didn’t want to die yet. His father was still in prison. He still hadn’t got his shares back. Senona had not yet paid for what she had done.
He really hates them.
She had done nothing wrong, but just because she was the second daughter of the Delahoz group, everyone had bullied her and tried to walk all over her.
There was really no way to forgive them.
A drop of cold water fell on his body as if it were raining.
A passer-by stopped next to her.
“Miss … Miss, are you all right? What happened?”
“He has lost a lot of blood. He needs to go to hospital …”
“I will call …”
Allyce wanted to say that she was fine and that she could go to the hospital herself, but even before she could speak, everything went dark. Before she lost consciousness, a familiar voice reached her ears: “Miss Delahoz!
…
Allyce opened her eyes and saw the target. It was strange.
He blinked and his vision cleared slightly, allowing him to see the white ceiling. The smell of disinfectant filled his nose.
This was the hospital.
“You’re awake!”
It was the same voice he had heard before he fainted.
Allyce turned her head and saw the familiar face of Xabat Vasconcelos.
“Xabat …” He opened his mouth but could not speak; his throat felt like sandpaper, dry and sore.
Xabat frowned; concern shone in his cold blue eyes. He poured her a glass of water, stuck a straw in it and handed it to her carefully. First, drink some water.
Allyce took two sips, her throat feeling better, and said in a hoarse voice, “Thank you”.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“It’s nothing, anyone would have helped in that situation.” Xabat put the glass aside and turned to look at Allyce, still frowning.
Allyce smiled. She hadn’t expected Xabat to save her.
Xabat didn’t know that not everyone would help in a situation like this. If it had been Senona, she would have stabbed Allyce with a knife and made sure she was dead on the spot.
Fortunately, it was Xabat.
Seeing her smile, Xabat asked incredulously: “Do you need help to inform your family?
“No, thank you. I’ve caused you enough trouble. Allyce shook her head. He wasn’t her friend, but he had taken her to the hospital and she was grateful.
Xabat’s brow was still furrowed as he asked, “Where is your husband? Should I call him?”
Severe.
Allyce paused and shook her head, “I’ll call you later. You can go now, thank you.
“OK, I’ll say goodbye then. Oh, here’s your phone”. Xabat took his phone from a side table and handed it to him.
Allyce picked it up and looked at it, gratitude dripping down her face.
Xabat gave him a complicated look and left.
There was no one in the room, so he tried to sit down.
He touched his head and found it covered with bandages. As soon as he sat up, the doctor came in.
He asked her: “How do you feel?
“A bit dizzy and a bit sore”.
The doctor was a middle-aged man. Seeing your pale face, he shook his head and said, “If the wound had been deeper, your skull might have been broken and you would not have regained consciousness so easily. Still, you’ve lost a lot of blood, so you’ll have to stay here for two days.
Allyce didn’t hold the bottle lightly, so I had already guessed that the wound would be a bit serious. Thank you, doctor.
The doctor asked him while taking notes: “Why hasn’t your family come yet?
Startled by his serious expression, Allyce tilted her head and whispered: “They’ll be here soon.
In any case, it wasn’t a big deal; she had only hurt her head, it wasn’t like she was paralysed. She didn’t want to call Severo, let alone her family.
When you are sick, you should keep your family close to you because they will take care of you.
Severo might be willing to take care of her, but she didn’t want him to see her like that. She still remembered that she and Severo weren’t really a couple and didn’t have deep feelings for each other.
When the doctor came out, Allyce looked at the time. It was almost twelve o’clock.
The temperature in the room was not too low, but it still felt a bit chilly.
He was about to return his phone when it suddenly started to vibrate.
Allyce’s heart leapt into her throat, who could be calling her at this hour.
As expected, he saw Severo’s name flashing on the screen.
Allyce hesitates for a moment and takes it. At that moment, even if there was no one beside her, even if it was just a worried voice, she wanted to hear it.
“What do you want?” Allyce’s voice was still hoarse.
Severo’s voice was singsong, as always”. Where are you?
Allyce leaned back, resting her back against the headboard. Her voice was a little weak as she said, “I’m at Lucila’s house. I’m sleeping here today.
“Lucila’s house?” repeated Severo, a little sceptical.
“Yes, it’s late and I’m going to bed. You should sleep too.
Allyce hung up and tossed the phone to her side. She closed her eyes and raised her hands, pressing her palms against her closed eyes, trying to suppress the feeling of bitterness that rose in her throat, threatening to overwhelm her.
Why should I cry, I’ve been through worse than this.
But hearing Severo’s voice made her feel very sad. She was a little disappointed when her phone didn’t ring again.
After an unknown amount of time, Allyce felt a little better, released her hands and opened her eyes. Her eyes widened when she saw a man sitting in a chair near the foot of the bed.
“How did you get here?” asked Allyce aloud, surprise evident on her face.
The man she had just spoken to on the phone was now sitting motionless in front of her, his deep eyes fixed on her, staring at her.
After a long silence, Severo slowly opened his mouth and uttered one word: “Liar!
His cadenced voice was alienating.
Allyce ducked her head and for the first time did not reply.
Allyce was already thin and now, as she lowered her bandaged head, she looked even weaker and more pathetic. stern pursed his lips and asked, “Have you eaten anything tonight?
“No.” Allyce didn’t dare lie again, for fear she would leave.
At these words, Severo stood up abruptly and went to the door.
Allyce called out to him anxiously: “Severo!
He was already at the door when he heard her voice. He stopped for a moment and said without even turning his head: “There’s a 24-hour porridge shop opposite the hospital. I’ll go and get you some. But you can leave while I’m gone, if you want to.
His voice was soft and calm, but Allyce had the feeling that if she left while he was gone, Severo would no longer worry about her.
With those words, he went out and carefully closed the door behind him.
Allyce stared at the closed door – how could she leave? Who doesn’t like to be looked after?
