"We have been together for four years. Everyone knows that Roland loves me very much," said Andrina. "Do you want to be like your shameless mother, being the other woman in someone else's family?"
Alvera gritted her teeth. "You have no right to mention my mother. Andrina, why do you think I'm here to save you?"
Andrina looked at her coldly.
Alvera bent down and whispered in her ear, "Andrina, I won't let you die. You will live and know how unrequited love feels like. You will pay for what you have done. I shouldn't be the only one to learn this lesson."
She straightened and patted Andrina on her shoulder, changing her tone suddenly. "Andrina, you poor thing, you must be suffering after all these checkups and examinations."
Andrina gritted her teeth, her hands trembling in anger.
Alvera turned around and said to the nurse, who was not too far away, "Miss, sorry for the trouble."
The nurse came forward, nodded to her, and pushed Andrina away.
As they left, she heard the nurse say, "Ms. Earhart, you have such a close relationship with your sister. I'm envious."
In the evening, Alvera lay alone on the hospital bed in the dark, unable to sleep.
She finally got out of bed and put on a coat. She planned to take a walk in the garden.
When she arrived in the lobby on the first floor, she met Roland's secretary from earlier this evening.
"Terry, you're still working? It's late," she said.
"Ms. Alvera, are you okay?" he asked.
"Me? I'm fine. What's wrong?" she replied.
"Mr. Francois asked me to come and check on you. He had severe diarrhoea after having the Mexican food this morning," he said.
Alvera was a little surprised because Roland only took a few bites of the food. "How is he now?"
"Mr. Francois didn't let me go over, he just called me and told me to come and check on you," Terry replied.
Alvera shrugged. "I'm fine. You can go back and rest."
Terry nodded and left.
Alvera was going to continue on her walk, but she suddenly changed her mind.
...
She went to the pharmacy opposite the hospital and bought a box of antidiarrheal medicine. Then she went to the underground parking lot and drove to Roland's house.
