Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 174

Meanwhile, the hospital.

Adriana was taken to the hospital for a full workup, and the final conclusion was that malnutrition combined with anemia caused the fainting spells.

Lying in a hospital bed hanging from a drip, Adriana gazed at the ceiling and said, "You can go now, I'm fine."

The mind echoes back to the stairway at the company where Peter recklessly lunged towards her, hugging her tightly and rolling down the stairs together.

Every time she fell on the steps, either his body or his arms shielded her so that she was unharmed and did not even feel the pain.

It's happy and wonderful to be pampered.

Just ......

The one who gave her happiness was Peter.

She, who should not covet.

"You're not well lately, so don't go to the office and rest at home."

Peter sat on the escort chair, looking at the little woman's delicate cheeks through the sickly slightly white, a heartache.

The eyes stared straight at Adriana, always feeling that she was a woman with thorns all over her body, wrapping herself into a hedgehog and not allowing anyone to come near.

"No need, thank you Mr. Alston for your concern."

Adriana was indifferent, keeping aloof from him, "Since it's all right, please ask Mr. Alston to leave, I don't want to cause any misunderstanding. A slap is a lesson, I can't afford a second, third, or more."

After saying that, she closed her eyes.

Didn't look at him the whole time.

"I'm sorry, I didn't handle it well."

The man who has always been above, in front of Adriana put down his stature, the tone of voice even vaguely let people feel a little humble.

He looked at the red fingerprints on Adriana's right cheek and subconsciously raised his hand towards her cheek.

Finally, when he was only a stone's throw away from her cheek, his hand froze in mid-air.

The two muddy ink-dyed eyebrows wrinkled, fingers slightly clenched, and then slowly retracted their hands.

"Then you get some rest."

Peter admonished, got up, and left.

When he reached the door of the ward, he took a step, "Don't come to work these days, rest at home, I will inform the legal department."

The others closed the door and left.

Adriana lying on the hospital bed slowly opened her eyes, the calm and waveless pupils gradually rippled.

Peter, please don't ...... be so nice to me.

Despite Adriana's ignorance of love, she is now able to identify her emotions for Peter.

A germ of emotion that should not be there, she deserves to nip it in the bud.

Adriana got sick and was hospitalized, and somehow Flora even knew about it.

Specially bought something to come and visit her.

"It's nothing wrong with me, just anemia, and I'm making you come all the way here?" Adriana leaned on the side of the bed and smiled lightly.

"Adriana, I don't have a job yet anyway, so I just came to see you."

Flora sat by the hospital bed and gave her Anne a cute smile.

"How did you know I was sick?" Adriana was a little curious.

"Er ......"

Her eyes flashed slightly and she answered with some hesitation, "Mr. Alston told me about it."

Playfully spitting out her tongue, she continued, "He's very nice to you oh."

"Yeah, because we're friends."

Adriana makes a casual excuse, not wanting Flora to misunderstand their relationship.

Flora accompanied Adriana in the hospital room for a while to talk, and then Brenden came in.

"Adriana, Uncle, you guys talk, then I'll go first oh."

She waved her hand and left.

Brenden held a bouquet of bright roses in his arms and placed it on the bedside table, an icy scowl surfaced on that wickedly handsome face, "Adriana, have you forgotten my warning to you lately?"

He sounded very cold.

Adriana bowed her head and squeezed her hands together uneasily, as if she was thinking about something.

Suddenly, she looked up and said, "Brenden, let's get engaged."

"Engaged?"

In any case, Brenden was not expecting Adriana to say this, which took him by surprise.

The ghostly pulled away the escort chair and sat on it, legs folded, posture lazy and with a few unrestrained.

"Say, what's the conspiracy again?"

He didn't think Adriana would like him when she somehow wanted to get engaged to him.

"Haven't you always wanted me to cooperate with you? Give me $30 million and I'll get engaged to you. The premise is that it is a deal between us, a fake engagement only, but do not live differently, much less move against me, otherwise, no one can fall in favor."

"Heh, it's not because of Peter, is it?"

Brenden hit the nail on the head.

"Yes or no, what does it matter to you? This matter will do you no harm at all."

She analyzed the situation.

Brenden thought carefully, "Well, that does make sense, but I'll give you $50 million and you'll come live with me in The Alston family's old house. How about that?"

"Not good."

Adriana immediately retorted, "I told you, it's just an engagement, not a residence."

"You live in The Alston family old house, I will not share a room with you."

"No!"

Once again, Adriana made her position clear, "If it doesn't work, forget it."

After all, now that Helen has returned to the country, what will Helen do if she goes to The Alston family's old house?

It took a lot of effort, but it was just to break Peter's mind.

It is true that Theresa's heart is calculated, and she will not do anything wrong to Theresa.

If you are wrong once, you can't be wrong a second time.

There is nothing wrong with loving someone, but because of their feelings involved in someone else's marriage, is the biggest mistake.

The heart thinks like this, but suddenly the words of Peter that day come to mind.

The reason why she got engaged to Theresa was because of the necklace, and if Theresa hadn't asked her for the necklace, would she have been the one engaged to Peter now?

Thinking about it, she shook her head and immediately brushed off the absurdity of the idea.

Brenden stared coldly at Adriana and suddenly sat up straighter and moved closer, "I'm curious, how can't you fake it for real? What's the difference between me Brenden and Peter?"

"......"

Adriana gave him a blank look of disgust as if she were saying he was a psychopath again.

"It was agreed in the beginning that everything was just a show, Mr. Alston, don't overstep your bounds."

In an instant, her eyes also became a few points of harshness.

Continued, "Now Helen is by my side, but if you dare to do anything to hurt Helen, even if I die, I will not spare you."

"Hahahaha ...... Good, good. Interesting."

Brenden tilted his head with a smile and nodded, "Deal, deal. Thirty million deal."

After he left, Adriana sat alone in the hospital room for a long time, contemplating whether she had done the right thing.

But now, with the enemy at her back, she has no way to fight back and can only choose so.

In the evening, I went to pick up Helen from school, accompanied her to YA Law Firm for a while, and then went home early.

For dinner, Adriana settled with Helen at the nutritious restaurant outside.

Once home, Adriana watched the YA Law Firm case while Helen sat and played with her Ipad.

Knock-knock-

Not long after, the door to the living room suddenly rang.
