Chapter 18: Alvera, You're Too Arrogant
He snorted and turned to leave.
"Oh, right," Alvera said suddenly, as if she just thought of something.
He stopped and turned around, but she didn't move.
...
"When are you going to treat me that dinner you owe me?" she said.
"Is this the time to talk about this?" He thought coldly.
She continued lightly, "If you haven't planned it yet, I'll decide the time."
He opened the door and left the ward without answering.
Alvera frowned, then laughed mockingly at herself.
She took out her phone and called Samuel. "Samuel, how much more money does the project need?"
...
"It's... a bottomless pit," Samuel replied.
"Really?" She thought for a moment. "I see. I know where to get the money."
"What are you doing again?"
"Don't ask. Just do me a favour."
At the door, Roland found the doctor and said, "Go check Alvera up. Her wound doesn't seem to be
healing well."
"Okay, Mr. Francois. By the way, Ms. Alvera wants to be discharged today."
Roland frowned, "Can she leave the hospital now?"
"It's not recommended."
Roland's expression turned cold. "Then why did you tell me this?"
"This..." the doctor hesitated.
"Isn't it your dereliction of duty to let a patient who can't be discharged leave the hospital?" he asked
coldly.
"Yes, Mr. Francois, I understand. I won't let Ms. Alvera leave the hospital," the doctor said, and then left
quickly.
...
He could tell that Roland was in a bad mood right now.
He did not dare to offend him.
Alvera was in a very good mood on the day of her discharge.
She packed up her things early in the morning.
After the last examination, she grabbed her bag and prepared to leave.
Roland, pushing Andrina in her wheelchair, was standing by her door when she opened the door.
Andrinalooked at her, her face pale. "Alvera, my parents told me that you are getting discharged today."
Alvera did not look at Roland and waved the bag in her hand. "Yeah, I'm leaving."
...
"I haven't had the time to thank you," Andrina said. "Thank you for saving my life."
"That's all right, just remember to repay me in the future."
Andrina lowered her eyes, her expression was full of guilt. "Alvera, I'm sorry."
Roland's expression was cold. "Alvera, watch your words. You didn't do this for free."
"Did I say the wrong thing? Let me try again," Alvera said. "No need to thank me, your family gave me
ten million dollars to save your life."
Andrina raised her head to look at her tearfully. "Alvera, don't be like this, you make me sad. I will never
forget your kindness."
Alvera pouted. "Great, remember that I gave you your new life. In the future, don't try and take what I
want. If you really want it, just wait until I've had enough fun, then we'll see."
She looked at Roland pointedly.
She knew that both of them were smart enough to know what she meant.
Roland looked at Andrina worriedly, and then he said coldly, "Alvera, you are too arrogant."
Alvera shrugged and smiled. "Mr. Francois is feeling sorry for you, Andrina. Congratulations on finding
such good support."
Andrina sighed. "Roland, don't be like this. Alvera had always like to joke around when we were young.
She doesn't mean what she said."
"I wasn't joking around," Alvera retorted. "I'll leave and hope you two enjoy yourselves, now. Get well
soon."
She flung her bag over her shoulder walked down the long corridor.
Roland turned to watch her thin figure leave with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
...
Her eyes were like bottomless pits, cold and emotionless when she spoke to them.
Well that day, he saw her smiling beautifully in front of Samuel Lambert.
Andrina lifted her head to look at Roland and saw him fixated on Alvera's leaving figure.
She clenched her fists under the blanket.
"Roland," she said.
Roland came back to his senses and looked down at her. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Her voice was delicate and frail. "Roland, I owe Alvera my life. Do you think I can ever repay her
back?"
"She didn't donate her liver for free. Don't think too much. I'll send you back to your ward," he replied.
Andrina nodded, smiling bitterly,
The gentleness in her eyes was replaced by coldness when she looked away from Roland.
"Alvera," she thought. "D*mn it."
