Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 12

After a rather awkward dinner, everyone decided to go home.

When they were about to take the elevator, Adriana pretended surprise, “Oops, I've left my phone behind. You guys go ahead. I'm gonna go get it.”

Then she turned around.

“OK, but you’d better hurry.”

Alvin said to Adriana, and the rest of them got on the elevator.

Adriana returned to the private dining room, delighted at the sight of the cutlery they had just used.

Her eyes fell on the spot where she was sitting, and there was a glass on the table.

It was the one which Luis drank water from just now. She slipped it into her bag, then went downstairs.

Alvin was still waiting for her, while there was no sign of Theresa, Peter and Luis.

“They’ve left already?”

Adrianna asked.

“Yeah, something comes up.”

Alvin explained to her.

Adriana smiled, “It’s all right.”

“Come, get in the car. Let me drive you home.”

Alvin held the car door for her and said.

“Sorry I need to take care of something right now. You go ahead without me. My friend is on his way to get me.”

It was not a lie that she'd got things to attend to, but it's better to keep it a secret from Alvin for the time being.

“Alright then. I’ll just stay with you till your friend arrives.”

Adriana had just returned from abroad, so Alvin didn't feel easy about letting her out alone.

“Thanks for your concern. But I don’t want to inconvenience you any further! I’ll be just fine.”

Under her persistence, Alvin had to get in the car. Before he left, he added, “If you need anything, just give me a call.”

“I will.”

“Then I’ll be off.”

“Alvin, drive safe.”

Waving him goodbye, Adriana didn’t hail a taxi until Alvin's car went out of sight.

“Where to, Miss?”

The taxi driver asked.

“The hospital, please.”

“Aye aye.”

The driver set out to the hospital right away.

On her way to the hospital, her heart was pounding. A mixture feeling of tension, expectation and worry lingered in her chest, and honestly she was afraid that it would turn out to be just the way she thought.

Is there really such a thing as coincidence?

She didn't know the answer yet.

At the hospital, Luis’s glass and a wisp of her own hair were given to the doctor for a paternity test, which, the doctor said, would take three days.

She could do nothing but wait.

However, when Adriana left the hospital, a man showed up from behind the pillars in the hospital hall.

Staring after her leaving, he pulled out his phone, “Peter, guess who I just saw in the hospital.”

It was Peter's younger brother Jimmy.

Instructed by Peter, he came to send DNA samples for a paternity test, but he didn’t expect to encounter Adriana here.
