Chapter 89: Don’t Touch Me With Your Dirty Hands
Severo raised an eyebrow and repeated: “A man?
Xabat looked at his boss’s sombre face for a moment and replied stiffly: “Yes”.
Severo’s eyes narrowed dangerously, and he didn’t have to think twice about the man, who was undoubtedly Gabrio.
It wasn’t enough just to have a coffee, you had to come for dinner…
Neto, who was a bit out of his mind at the time, asked: “Is it Gabrio?
Xabat gave a puzzled look, the name didn’t ring a bell.
“It’s the same Dr. Ortis who used to see Severo.” Neto frowned, resenting his bad memory.
“That Dr. Ortis and ….”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Before Xabat could finish his sentence, Severo was already up and striding out.
Neto saw Severo heading for the door and watched the fun unfold: “Go on, take the adultery”.
“…” Xabat tugged at the corner of his mouth and turned to leave.
……
Gabrio held the menu up to Allyce, “Allyce?”
Allyce looked at him with an expressionless expression: “What?
“What are you thinking, you haven’t answered a few times, you’re not worried about the money for this meal, are you?” Gabrio mocked her.
“No … anything.” Allyce picked up the menu, ordered two dishes at random and set about calling the waiter.
As a result, before he could make a sound, the compartment door opened.
It wasn’t the waiter who came in, it was Severo, whom I had just seen.
Xabat did not follow her inside, Neto followed Severo and they entered together.
When Allyce saw that it was Severo, his face changed abruptly and his hand tightened under the table.
Severo removed the coldness from his face and walked over to Allyce and sat down, one hand naturally resting on her chair and then grasping her shoulder with a virtual grip. Dr. Ortis examined you yesterday, we should thank him for that.
She had a beautiful smile, and she smiled at him so softly on purpose, as warm and welcoming as melting snow.
Allyce smiled back at the scene she had seen earlier, but her eyes were cold and she leaned forward slightly, saying in a voice that only two people could hear, “Don’t touch me with your dirty hands”.
At that, Severo’s smile lingered, but quickly returned to his normal self, pulling back a little and raising his voice a little: “Well, I know you and Dr. Ortis haven’t seen each other for a while and you’re anxious to catch up with him,” he said.
That said, and regardless of Allyce’s reaction, he turned his head to Gabrio: “And thanks to Dr. Ortis for yesterday, I wouldn’t have felt comfortable with anyone else.
Gabrio smiled and his words were official: “You are welcome, Mr Betances.
His eyes had grown and he could see that Allyce’s face hadn’t looked right since Severo had come in, but she hadn’t said anything and he couldn’t say much.
The atmosphere was a bit strange.
Allyce moved out of the chair to get away from Severo.
I didn’t know why Severo was here all of a sudden, but I couldn’t bear the thought of him touching her anymore right now.
She moved to one side and Severo to another.
Gabrio and Neto turned their heads to look at her and she had to speak to explain: “Sit here better, otherwise it’s a bit cramped”.
Severo gave him a smiling look and, with his long leg hidden under the table, kicked Neto.
Neto reflexively turned his head to look at him, only to find Severo acting as if nothing was wrong, and immediately understood what he meant.
He cleared his throat and asked Gabrio: “Thanks to Dr. Ortis for saving Severo back then, but I didn’t realise that Dr. Ortis and his sister-in-law were also old friends.
Neto used the word “sister-in-law” with great emphasis, and Gabrio seemed slightly taken aback.
Referring to the last time he had saved Severo’s life, Gabrio was overcome with emotion: “It was a simple act of kindness, but the will of Mr. Betances was the main motive.
Severo had been shot during a revolt in a foreign country and had met Gabrio, a volunteer, who had operated on him without anaesthesia.
It was because of this incident that Gabrio met Severo.
Neto rubbed his chin and asked again, “I didn’t expect Dr Ortis to be from Yunzhou too, how did you and your sister-in-law meet?
A euphemism for a question Gabrio did not want to answer, so he had to ask it directly.
Gabrio looked at Allyce and said: “We were neighbours when we were kids.
When Neto heard this, he gave Severo a meaningful look.
Severo evidently thought the same thing, and his face sank, as if he had been thinking about something else, his eyebrows twitched, and he looked at Gabrio: “Allyce doesn’t have many friends, so since Dr. Ortis is back in the country, he should go around more”.
Gabrio had not expected this from Severo. When Severo had entered the room, he had looked very unpleasant, so why the sudden change of attitude?
Although he saw the change in Severo’s face before and after, Gabrio did not show it, he met Severo’s gaze and the two had an unspoken message.
“That’s for sure.
…
The meal ended in an inexplicable atmosphere.
After the meal, Allyce went to pay the bill.
The cashier said: “Miss, the order for your box has already been purchased”.
“Then buy it back.
When Severo came in, she knew he wouldn’t let her pay, but what did she care about that?
I would pay whatever I had to pay.
Allyce pulled out a wad of cash and placed it directly on the counter, not caring what the cashier called out to her, turned around and walked straight into the till.
Inside the cabin.
After Allyce left, the three men sat here, relying only on Neto to keep their spirits up.
When Gabrio saw Allyce enter, he stood up and said: “It’s getting late, I’m going back first, I’ll get in touch later.
During the meal, Allyce didn’t give Severo a single glance, so it was clear that there was something between the two of them to discuss.
He was a man who knew what he was doing, so he took the initiative to leave.
Hearing her leave, Allyce picked up her bag: “I’ll walk you out.
Before Gabrio could say no, he saw Severo get up as well: “I’ll come with you to see you off”.
“No, it’s not like we won’t be seeing each other again.” Gabrio refused with a smile.
Neto also spoke at the time: “I’m going to see Dr. Ortis outside, I’ve had some health problems lately and I want to talk to Dr. Ortis.
Allyce laughed coldly at this: “What kind of nasty problem do you want to talk about in private?
He had clearly seen that Neto was sitting next to Severo with a woman in his arms.
As soon as Neto heard his tone, he could sense that something was wrong, and wanted to say something else, but at Severo’s extremely threatening look, he and Gabrio left first, leaving room for these two people.
