Chapter 731: Pick any piece and you’ll be condemned to death
Time passed unhurriedly as we waited.
From winter to spring and then to summer in an instant.
And Grizzi’s case, after more than six months of scrutiny, was finally closed.
The day the case was closed, Marco came to see Severo.
On rare occasions, Marco did not wear a suit and wore casual attire.
He and Severo went to a coffee near the hospital and the two sat across from each other, Marco took the initiative: “The case is closed.
Severo seemed indifferent: “Congratulations”.
I knew that this time Marco was going to get a promotion.
Marco raised an eyebrow in disbelief and took a sip of his coffee, with a thoughtful look between his brows, a look of wanting to say something.
“I’m going back to the hospital if it’s OK”.
Severo lifted his wrist with little patience to check the time; Victorino had said the other day that Allyce was improving and might wake up at some point.
The thing is that Alonzo is on summer holiday again, so he doesn’t have to go out anymore.
Marco snorted and said: “You’ve been in hospital for more than half a year, are you an addict?
Severo also ignored him and stood up without saying anything, looking to leave, when Marco called out to him hurriedly: “Gabrio, you know, don’t you?
At the sound of a familiar name, Severo stopped and raised his eyes to him, gesturing for him to continue.
Marco put his arms around him, who had told him that Severo was getting grumpier now?
He was clearly the same as before, without giving it any importance at all!
“Gabrio has been a member of Grizzi for many years, I’m sure this is something you and Allyce know, and what about him, pick anything he has done in Grizzi over the years and you have a death sentence.”
Marco finished and stared at Severo, waiting for him to speak.
Severo’s face was stoic and unreadable.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
After a moment, he said: “Gabrio would do such things, not willingly, he is not evil by nature and, having been head of the “K7” team, he has cutting-edge knowledge and practical skills in the medical field.
One of the advantages of having a conversation between intelligent people is that they don’t have to say a lot of nonsense for the other person to understand them.
The implication in Severus’ words is clear: Gabrio was completely forced to do what he did, and that he was a talented man with much to offer and should be treated with leniency.
In and out of words, he speaks for Gabrio.
However, Marco believes he may have misunderstood.
“If my information is correct, Gabrio is your love interest! Having grown up with Allyce as a childhood friend and having a strong bond, what do you want by helping her like this?”
Marco had questions written all over his face, he was really confused as to what Severo was thinking.
Is it true, as they say, that Severo is now a better character and a kinder person?
In any case, he didn’t buy it.
Severo looked at his watch again, glanced at it and said lightly: “People who have never been in love certainly don’t understand.
Marco picked up his coffee and was about to drink it when he heard this and slammed the cup down on the dining table.
The next moment, the coffee cup shattered.
Luckily, there wasn’t much coffee in the cup and it didn’t drip on the floor and soak the tablecloth.
“You just know I’ve never been in love, what kind of morals do you have when grown men open their mouths and talk about love!”
“At best, you’re just getting a new guy to sleep with. Just someone to sleep with.
Marco was about to say more when Severo was already on the move.
He stood up with a grimace and prepared to leave, only to be stopped by a trembling waiter: “First, sir, are you going to pay the bill now?
Marco saw that the waitress was still trembling and was in a worse mood, asking her: “Why are you trembling?
The waiter immediately shrugged, “No milkshakes …”
Marco was in no mood to say more, took the money out of his wallet for the bill and headed for the exit.
However, as he passed the glass window, he glanced inside.
Is it really that scary?
But that little girl Carmencita, how come she wasn’t afraid of him?
As an officer with a distinguished military record, his face is not naturally kind, and when he is serious, it shows a hint of heaviness, which can be very frightening to a young woman.
…
Two days later, Gabrio showed up at the door.
He had often come here before, but always from afar, and Severo was naturally not interested in talking to him.
After that, he was investigated for his involvement with Grizzi, and his personal liberty was restricted, and he never returned.
He was still in his wheelchair and still looked bad.
He did not come empty-handed, with a toy remote-controlled car, an expensive brand of children’s toys.
He brings gifts to Alonzo every time he comes.
Only this one seems a bit more expensive.
“There is no need to bring toys for Alonzo on purpose, he can’t play with them”.
Gabrio said softly: “Tomorrow is his birthday and children always have something to look forward to on their birthdays.
Severo was silent for a moment before turning his head and shouting, “Alonzo”.
Alonzo is slumped over his desk drawing and is unaware of Gabrio’s arrival.
He turned his head to look at Gabrio and immediately smiled.
“Uncle Ortis!” he exclaimed, running.
“Alonzo,” Gabrio said with a soft smile on his face, reaching out to stroke his head and handing him the toy car in his hand, “Uncle Ortis is going to work somewhere else and I may not see Alonzo for a long time, and I won’t have time to come to your birthday tomorrow. It’s a birthday present for you.
There isn’t a child who doesn’t like toys.
But Alonzo did not catch up immediately.
He turned his head towards Severo and saw him nod towards him before reaching out to take it, squinting and smiling, “Thank you Uncle Ortis. ”
“Go see if it’s funny, Uncle Ortis and your father have things to talk about.”
“Mmm.” Alonzo nodded willingly and went back to telling Severo, “Dad, I’m going to play with the car.”
“It goes on.
With Severo’s approval, Alonzo took the toy car in his arms and went to the other side.
The two men watched Alonzo walk away in unison and only looked away when they saw him begin to seriously unpack the toy car.
A silent and somewhat oppressive atmosphere spreads between the two men.
Gabrio turned his eyes to the window and said: “Thank you.
And Severo did not accept his thanks: “Don’t thank me, I didn’t help you at all, you worked for them”.
Allyce carried Tajo and rushed off the cliff, not with foresight, but with an old grudge, I think.
Grizzi, the organisation, Tajo, the person, would have been irrelevant to her.
But his father was indirectly killed by Tajo, his friend Gabrio, whom he loved most, was ruined by Grizzi, and even Severo herself has been threatened by Grizzi, as has Alonzo ….
Several of the most important people in his life have been injured and even lost their lives because of Grizzi.
No one can know how much he really hates Tajo in his heart.
Severo withdrew his thoughts and said: “If you want to thank him, thank him.
Gabrio’s gaze was slightly tense.
Before leaving, Gabrio asked him: “Will Allyce let me know if she wakes up?
With a slightly apprehensive look, as if he feared Severo would not say yes, he added: “You can ask someone else to pass it on to me as well”.
Severo looked closely at Gabrio.
For a time he was very jealous of Gabrio, who filled the corners of Allyce’s childhood and youth.
Even after Gabrio left the country, it was the same.
But now, suddenly, I wasn’t jealous.
Perhaps I should thank Gabrio for the care and love he showed Allyce during those years when he was not present.
Gabrio saved it for Allyce.
Speak for Gabrio in front of Marco, and for Allyce.
They are so similar and yet completely different.
“Good”.
Severo’s affirmative answer brought a flash of surprise to Gabrio’s face.
Without waiting for Gabrio’s reaction, Severo added: “But I have a condition.
“What are the conditions?
“Heal your leg.
Severo knew that Gabrio’s leg was not completely crippled; he had simply given up.
Gabrio did not expect this from Severo and could not hide the surprise on his face.
He nodded and turned the steering wheel of his chair.
Not another glance at Allyce.
It didn’t matter, he thought, whether he would see them again or not.
As long as it is going well.
Compliance and vigilance were the truths he knew from the beginning.
