Alvera was nervous, but she managed to control her emotions.
"Mr. Francois, you're not well. You'd better sit down," she said.
"Do you really think that I don't have a family doctor?"
Alvera was stunned for a moment. "So you're fine now?"
"Do I look like I'm not? I can show you if you like," he replied.
"No need," Alvera replied immediately, "Looks like I didn't need to get the medicine after all. I'll go back to the hospital, then."
"You did just remind me, you're my wife. I haven't done my duty as a husband yet. Since you're not sick, you don't need to stay in the hospital. Go upstairs and take a bath," he said.
Alvera looked at him. He was bad at acting as well, but his hormones were obviously out of control.
She had to stay away from him, but resistance was not a good idea right now.
...
She listened to him and went upstairs.
She remembered that he also took a bath next door while she was showering yesterday.
She stayed in the bathroom for two minutes, and then pulled the door open.
Sure enough, there was no one in the room.
She smiled and left the room quietly.
Downstairs, she met Butler Lee.
"Butler Lee," she said calmly, "Mr. Francois is looking for you. I'll be leaving now."
"Okay, Ms. Alvera, take care."
Alvera watched the butler head upstairs. Once he was out of sight, she ran outside quickly, got into her car, and drove away triumphantly.
...
...
When Roland came out of the room, he saw Butler Lee standing at the door.
He raised his eyebrows in question. "Why are you standing here?"
Butler Lee hesitated for a moment and replied, "Ms. Alvera said you were looking for me before she left."
"Left?" Roland turned and walked quickly into the next room.
The door to the bathroom was open, and there was no one in the room.
To his own surprise, he smiled.
She ran away.
He took out his cell phone and dialled her number, but her phone had been turned off.
...
"Very good," he thought. "This woman..."
She said to the nurse who was pushing her bed, "Let's go in first."
Roland raised his head and looked at Alvera, but she had already closed her eyes, so she did not see the worry in his eyes.
...
Andrina, noticing this, quickly called out to her, "Alvera."
Alvera opened her eyes and looked at Andrina.
"Alvera, I'm sorry you have to suffer for me. If I die, you must take care of my parents for me," she said.
Alvera smiled without any emotions. "Okay."
The atmosphere around them was awkward.
"Let's go," Alvera said told the nurse again.
"Wait!" Just then, a breathless voice yelled from the distance.
Alvera sat up and looked around. It was Samuel.
Samuel ignored everyone else and came to Alvera's side.
"Thank goodness I made it," he said.
Alvera frowned. "Why did you come? I told you not to."
"How can I let you face this huge operation by yourself?" he replied. "I've got good news for you."
