The mention of Peter, Archie’s eyes sunk slightly, his face is to hide the heavy and painful, “things are still to be determined, I will personally go overter to see.”


    It was so sudden that he couldn’t believe it all without verifying it himself.


    “Is that … Jackson who called you?”


    Ruth trailed off.


    If it is Jackson, then things are bound to be true.


    He is Peter’s right hand man, the most relied upon crony, how could he be false.


    Ruth’s question caught Archie.


    The caller was indeed Jackson, but now the news was undoubtedly bad news, and he was worried that Ruth would be too worried about it to rest properly.


    “Since you’re awake, lie down and rest, I’ll send someone to check it out now.”


    “Well, go ahead, don’t worry, I’m fine.”


    “I will send extra men outside the ward so that you will not be put in danger again.”


    The car ident waspletely out of control, something Archie never expected.


    The driver who drove the car was someone he and Ruth had both used for a long time, who knew he would defect and still be able to act calm and collected before doing so.


    So much so that the car was moved by him and fell straight off the cliff when he went down the mountain.


    Ruth, who was extremely weak, nodded gently and ‘mmm’ed.


    “Okay, then I’ll go over there first.”


    The woman he loved had a hard time waking up after the car ident, he should have been there for her, but now he says Peter is dead!


    The matter was so important that he had to go and see.


    Seeing is believing.


    He exined to Ruth, went downstairs, and drove away from the hospital.


    Maternal and Child Health Center.


    Ran drove to the hospital and showed up early outside Adriana’s room, but sat on a bench in the corridor smoking a cigarette silently, hesitating to enter.


    Squeak-


    The door to the ward suddenly opened, Ran inexplicably nervous for a moment, looked up and found it was Siena.


    Siena had been in the hospital room for a long time and wanted toe out for some fresh air, when she saw Ran sitting outside.


    Just as she was about to speak, her eyes scanned the ashtray beside Ran and saw the ashtray full of cigarette butts and a pile of ashes at his feet.


    Intuition tells her that something is not right.


    She immediately closed the door so as not to be discovered by Adriana in the ward.


    “Come here.”


    Walking past Ran, she whispered and headed for the window at the end of the hallway.


    Ran drops his head, props his elbows on his knees, lowers his head to smoke, barks a few puffs, drops the cigarette into the ashtray, gives a long pause, gets up and walks towards Siena.


    She didn’t pay much attention to it, but now she realized that Ran’s nose was swollen and his eyes were red and bloodshot.


    The appearance is wretched and weary.


    “How did you get into this mess?”


    Siena was full of amazement.


    Ran and the time we know is not short, he has always maintained a clean and tidy image, how can not see him a day like a disaster.


    Ran: “…”


    “What’s going on? Peter hasn’t been heard from since he left yesterday, and Adriana is worried about him.”


    Siena leaned against the window with her hands in the pockets of her trench coat, frowning at Ran and questioning him.


    Ran was silent for a long time without saying anything, and she felt more and more that things were not right, so she asked tentatively, “Peter he, is … something wrong?”


    “Peter is dead.”


    “What? Dead?”


    The shocked Siena could not stop her voice from rising, and immediately covered her mouth, thinking her voice was too loud and would be heard by Adriana.


    She asked Ran, but Ran was staring out the window, his eyes deep and preupied.


    Siena reached out and nudged him, “What the hell is going on, how could Peter be dead? Are you kidding me? Wasn’t he fine yesterday.”


    “Hey, what the hell is going on?”


    “Ran, are you deaf? Can’t talk?”


    “I asked you, did you hear me?”


    “Ran!”


    …


    The heavy news is both surprising and overwhelming.


    Siena and Peter are considered friends and have a good rtionship in the day-to-day.


    So when she heard Ran’s words, she couldn’t calm down for a long time, but she kept asking questions, and all she got was his silence.


    Siena still couldn’t resist asking after her, “Who did this?”


    “Peter can’t be dead, do you guys have some kind of n, or is he ying dead?”


    “A man as shrewd as he is could never just say he’s dead.”


    “Ran, you talk!”


    “Bastard, I ask you again, are you deaf?”


    Ran’s silence made Siena a little cranky and pushed up on him, roaring in anger, “Are you dumb and can’t talk?” Ran, you’re such an asshole, it’s maddening!


    Her little face was red with anger.


    But no matter how much questioning, no reply from Ran.


    I had no choice but to take my cell phone and call Jackson, but instead of making the call, I heard Adriana’s voiceing from the side, “Ran is here? What are you doing?”


    Adriana, dressed in a hospital gown, has returned to normal physical condition after a day of rest, just a little weak.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    As soon as they saw hering, their nerves tightened and they both tensed up, even their eyes were a bit faint and uneasy.


    “Ran, do you know where honey is? He went to look for youst night, howe you’re here and he hasn’te back yet? Is he hurt?”


    Adriana knows all about yesterday, so it’s only natural if she’s hurt.


    How can people who lick the blood of a knife guarantee that daily Rene is unharmed.


    “Well, it hurt.”


    Ran’s troubled brown pupils flickered and ghosted back.


    “Which hospital is he in now? Is he awake or not? Why isn’t he answering my calls?”


    Adriana bristled and muttered in exasperation, “Even if you’re hurt, at least tell me, really.”


    She grumbled under her breath, “I was worried about him all night.”


    Because I had surgery yesterday, I slept for a long time during the day and had little sleep at night, so I called Peter when I couldn’t sleep at night.


    The result was no answer.


    Thinking Peter was busy, she waited until two hourster and called another one until after 5 a. m., when she couldn’t help but fall asleep.


    As soon as she woke up, Adriana immediately picked up her phone, thinking that Peter should return her message, but looking at the phone at all no missed calls, her heart still sank, can not help but some small disappointment.


    Siena feels bad when she sees Adriana being kept in the dark.


    She didn’t dare look directly at Adriana, turned to look out the window, lightly wrinkled her brow and didn’t say a word.


    Also afraid to look at her was Ran.


    Vainly pull out a cigarette, diao in the mouth, head down with a lighter to light cigarettes.


    He bought a vintage style gear lighter, thumbing the gears a few times, only snorting sound, but several times did not fire.


    Standing opposite the two, Adriana will Siena and Ran two people’s demeanor in the eyes, especially Ran holding a lighter, head down to light a cigarette, a few times did not light the lighter on fire, even his hands are faintly trembling.


    Her moth brow furrowed lightly, her heart suddenly contracted, a thought suddenly shed through her mind, startling her back.


    “Ran, honey he … what’s wrong with him? Where is he now?”
