Chapter 785: Recognition of ancestors
Senona’s face stiffened and she pulled her bag tightly, no longer bothering to hide her discomfort, and said: “I’ll go first.
And without waiting for Lucila to say anything else, he left in a hurry.
Lucila sensed that there was something strange about Senona and turned her head to watch her leave, when she saw that she had walked too fast and hit the corner of the table, Lucila felt the pain of seeing her, but she didn’t even stop for a moment and just ran.
Lucila wondered what was wrong with Senona, as if she was being haunted by a ghost.
He turned his head to look at Barreda and saw that he was holding his phone in one hand, as if he was sending a message to someone, looking a little unpredictable.
Had Barreda scared Senona?
She deliberated for a moment, then spoke and asked, “Ergo? What did you just say to him?”
“Nothing. Barreda’s face was faint.
Seeing Lucila’s look of suspicion, he added: “I hadn’t had time to say anything, and here you are”.
Lucila, fearing that she might misunderstand, said: “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean anything else”.
“Hmm.
The two didn’t know each other very well in the first place, but from what had happened before, Lucila didn’t think Barreda was such a bad contact.
But that was as far as it went.
Lucila coughed a little uncomfortably and said, “Do you want to go back now? I’m getting ready to go back.
“I have some things to do. Barreda finished and asked: “How are you going to get back?
Lucila heard a hint of care in his words and shook her head, “I’ll take a taxi back, it’s easy, you go on.
Barreda nodded and said no more.
On the way back, Lucila thought over and over again, never ceasing to think that there was something wrong with both Barreda and Senona.
But it was logical that they did not know each other.
When Lucila left, Barreda did not leave immediately.
He sat quietly and ordered himself a coffee.
It wasn’t long before he received a call on his mobile.
Barreda took the phone off the hook and spoke nonchalantly: “You don’t need to warn her, leave two men to follow her, you go back.
I don’t know what the person on the other end said, but he said “yes” and hung up.
…
Lucila returned to the old Pastrano family home and found Marco coming out of it.
He stopped and shouted, “Brother”.
Marco stopped in his tracks, followed her and nodded to her.
Lucila, however, suddenly remembered Horatio.
Horatio had been shot dead by Marco, she had been saved, and she hadn’t asked about the aftermath because her heart was in her mouth.
And at one point, Horatio acted as if he had met her once, and she was still a little curious about the incident.
“Brother, I … have something I want to ask you”.
Marco paused and looked back at Lucila who seemed to have something to say.
He seemed to be in a hurry and raised his hand to check the time before asking aloud: “What is it about?
“About Horatio, have you found out anything? He seemed to act as if he knew me before”.
Lucila finished and then looked at Marco with some apprehension.
Marco frowned, seemed to think for a moment and said, “He’s from Cloud Cit Alpine, dropped out of the town’s primary schools until fifth grade, then was a punk in Alpine for a few years, then left Alpine for somewhere else before being taken in by Grizzi’s people. ”
He finished, paused and asked Lucila: “Does this ring a bell?
Lucila nodded thoughtfully: “I’m from the city of Alpine too.
Marco had other things to do and left without delay.
It didn’t really matter to him that Horatio and Lucila had known each other before; Horatio was dead anyway, so it didn’t matter.
Lucila walked a little out of her mind towards the room.
He recalled the year he was walking home from school and came across a group of men beating up a thief.
I couldn’t quite remember how old I was – thirteen? Or was it fourteen?
The thief, who looked about his age, had been badly beaten and had blood all over his face.
Lucila was a bit scared and felt sorry for him, so she hid and watched for a while, but when the thief didn’t get up, she hesitated a bit and dragged him to a nearby clinic.
By then, Lucila’s family was well off and had plenty of pocket money to pay her medical bills.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
After that, she never saw him again.
It had been so long since he remembered what he looked like, only a vague silhouette.
But there was a resemblance to Horatio.
While she was thinking about it, Lucila came to the door of her room.
Pushing open the door, he sat for a long time in silence on the sofa.
He had long forgotten about the beaten and bloodied boy after all these years, but he had not expected to find him again after all these years.
Horacio had probably recognised her early, otherwise he would not have stopped Gervasio from touching her.
If it were not for Horacio’s desire to protect her, Gervasio would probably have taken her away ….
This is an ironic assumption, but an indisputable fact.
The scriptures say that good deeds are rewarded.
…
Lucila and Neto’s wedding was simple.
The people who came to congratulate them were all prominent people, many of whom Lucila had only seen in the news.
Only then did Lucila have the feeling that she had finally married into a high-ranking family.
Allyce’s family attended the wedding.
He also invited Senona, but she did not come and asked Allyce to give Lucila a wedding present.
Lucila had the feeling that there was something strange going on between Senona and Barreda, or maybe it was psychological, but she felt that Senona was afraid to see Barreda.
He took off his toast and, unable to resist the fire of gossip, muttered to Neto: “Do you think it’s possible that the Second Brother and Senona know each other?
“How could they know each other?” Neto turned his head to look at her with a puzzled expression.
Lucila bristled with resentment and took a moment to talk to Allyce about it.
Allyce listened, but was silent for a moment before saying: “Are you afraid of Barreda?
“I think so, that day it was just her, Ergo and me, if she wasn’t afraid of Ergo, was she afraid of me? But then Neto said they couldn’t know each other”.
The more Lucila talked, the more confused she became.
Allyce’s eyes flickered slightly as he urged her, “It’s your big day, why are you always thinking about other people’s business, if you don’t go there Neto will be the lookout”.
Lucila looked at Neto and saw him standing a short distance away looking at her with narrowed eyes.
Lucila winked and patted Allyce on the shoulder, “I’ll come over and we’ll talk.
After watching Lucila walk away, Allyce turned her head back to her seat and addressed Severo in a whisper, “Do you know who Jonas gave Senona to back then, that night at Kimdis?”
Severo was peeling prawns for Alonzo and turned his head absently to look at Allyce, “What? Is he returning his son to his ancestors?
Allyce reached out silently and gave Severo a sharp twist at the waist. “Nonsense, I was just asking, you’re not always so prejudiced against her, she’s changed a lot.”
“Just asking?” Severo said as he wiped his hands, “He doesn’t have much interest in knowing then.”
“Severo!”
Severo began to feed Allyce, his face calm, “Eat more, you haven’t eaten as much as Alonzo, I’m preparing a big bonus, and I don’t know when I’ll get my money back, so I can eat more”.
“…”
