Chapter 278 I want to see you for the last time.
“Serena, Cristian really cares about you.” Noa saw her lower her eyes and said nothing more, afraid that she was still thinking about it or that she had misunderstood Cristian, so she explained how things were.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
After hearing those words, Serena came back to herself, looked at Noa in front of her and smiled, “You are very good at speaking up for him.”
Noa blushed and looked embarrassed.
“I think you are joking. I am telling the truth. Inside you know it too, don’t you?”
Yes, this time Serena knew it too.
She is not only the one in love, Cristian also feels something.
All of that-that’s enough.
Thinking about this, Serena smiled.
Since Cristian was worried about her, she decided that she would stay in the villa and wait for new news, better not to go out and not to worry about what happens outside.
She simply thought she could live quietly until Cristian brought her new news. Even every day she waited, she was anxious only at first, but then, it became a habit. Every night, she looked forward to Cristian coming back and telling her new things.
But even if he would say nothing when he returned, she would not ask him any questions.
She thought that as long as there was new news, he would not hide it from her.
Serena kept waiting until she heard the news.
But it was not Cristian who gave it to her, but Alice.
Alice sent her a message telling her that he wanted to see her.
She did not know why, but that message from Alice had given Serena a bad feeling. Serena had a vague feeling, as if something important was about to happen.
She and Alice had been good friends for many years. After they clarified things the last time, she thought that in the future she would not see her again.
So she replied, “We have nothing to say to each other.”
“Serena, this will be the last time, don’t you want to meet?”
The last time?
When Serena saw that word, she felt a pang in her heart.
“What do you mean?”
“Tell me do you want to see me again or not!” Alice had a surly attitude; she had to see her.
Serena felt helpless. Actually, she could not be mean to Alice. She had helped her so much that she couldn’t hate her now. And the words she had used were strange, almost as if she wanted to commit suicide.
She probably wasn’t, but what if she was?
In case something really happened to her, Serena feared she would regret it for the rest of her life.
“Tell me the time and place.”
Eventually Serena compromised; it took a while for Alice to send her an address.
After reading the address, she discovered it was a hotel. She frowned and felt increasingly uncomfortable.
Serena put her cell phone away and said to Noa, “I’m going out today, may I?”
Noa was astonished on the spot. After a while, she smiled and said, “You and Cristian are really good-hearted. This morning, Cristian changed the access rules. From now on, you can enter and leave freely, and there is a personal driver just for you.”
Serena: “… There was no need to go to so much trouble, it’s just that the situation is complex, I would like to ask you if you can accompany me to the door.”
“Don’t worry, Serena, I will accompany you later.”
After that Serena changed her clothes, and then was led by Noa to the door. Noa greeted her. There was a car waiting there at the gate.
“Serena, tell the driver where you want to go and the driver will take you there.”
Initially Serena wanted to go by herself, after all, she was going to Alice. She thought there were important things to clear up.
“All right.”
Serena relayed the address to the driver after getting into the car.
“You’re welcome miss, I’ll take you there.”
The driver was an elderly gentleman with gentle eyebrows and eyes and a very kind voice.
After Serena arrived at her destination, she wanted to turn the driver around. Who would have expected him to wait down there instead, and then he said worriedly, “Serena, the people who work at the hotel are difficult to deal with, let me drive you up, otherwise if something happens I won’t know how to intervene.”
Serena initially wanted to refuse, but the driver said, “I will stay outside the door the whole time, don’t worry Serena.”
“I came to see my friend, she said she was here, thank you very much sir.”
“Call me Pietro.”
“Thank you, Pietro.”
Accompanied by Pietro, Serena entered the hotel and took the elevator to the room Alice said.
When they arrived, Serena rang the bell and Pietro stood in the corner next to her. Serena pressed for a long time, but no one came to open the door.
Serena sent a message to Alice telling her that she had arrived. Alice did not rest for a few more minutes.
Serena felt increasingly uncomfortable. When Serena was about to call Alice, she noticed that the door was already open and there was no key inserted.
She almost seemed to be intentionally hiding as she waited for her to come in.
After standing still for about five seconds, Serena suddenly stepped forward and opened the door.
The hotel room was quiet and no one was there. There was a bottle of red wine on the table.
Resting on the sofa were the familiar pink coat and handbag, and partly there were high-heeled shoes. That scene was not strange. Serena heard an alarm bell ring.
“Alice, I’m here, where are you?”
No one answered her question, all was quiet, Serena could hear her breathing, however.
“Alice, Alice, what the hell are you doing?” Then Serena began to look for Alice. When she passed by the bathroom, she heard the sound of ticking, as if drops of water were falling to the floor.
Serena stopped, and slowly opened the door.
When she saw the scene in the bathroom, Serena’s face immediately became very pale. She was like a ghost in counter light. She was shaking uncontrollably, and shouted, “Alice!”
Peter stood by the door so that he could get to the room in time in case of trouble. Who would have expected that shortly afterwards he would hear Serena screaming. He felt something was wrong, so he looked out the door and saw Serena running toward him.
“Pietro, Pietro, call an ambulance…”
Pietro did not understand what had happened inside, but Serena’s face was white as a ghost, which scared him greatly. He immediately grabbed his cell phone and called an ambulance. After calling, he rushed to the hotel room, “Serena, what happened?”
Serena was trembling with fear, but tried to keep a calm voice: “Pietro, come help me.”
Pietro followed her to the bathroom. After seeing the scene in the bathroom, he, an old man who had experienced everything in his life, could not help but sweat in panic.
