Alex covered his mouth with his palm, and whispered: "Cesar once had a car accident because of that guy, and was almost crippled."

Roman's heart sank suddenly.What does it mean?Cesar had such a serious accident before?Look at how he is alive and kicking now, it doesn't look like it!

"Are you mistaken? I've never heard of such a thing," Roman said.He didn't even realize that his voice was trembling slightly.

"Is it good for me to lie to you? I followed Lucinda to the Aurora kick gym for the first time... Heck, during the exchange and study, she told me that Cesar had just recovered from a car accident and was as weak as a newborn Little deer, it's just right to be my beginner's opponent. In the end, he beat me to the ground." Alex couldn't help but "bah", "I don't believe that woman's nonsense anymore!"

"But what does this have to do with Edward? Did Edward hit him with his car?"

Alex wrinkled his nose and thought for a moment. "I don't know, I don't think it should be. Otherwise, everyone will definitely say that the culprit is Edward. Lucinda only told me that Edward was partly responsible for Cesar's car accident. Let me not mention this name in Aurora, otherwise I will It may become a public enemy. Of course, there is probably no such restriction outside of Aurora."

The red-haired youth misinterpreted Lucinda's advice to himself.

Roman hugged the bouquet tightly to his chest.It suddenly became so cold in the hospital that his teeth were chattering.He suddenly understands why Cesar is always overly worried about his health, because Cesar understands how much injury affects a person's body.He himself recovered from a serious injury.He knew what was best for a wounded man.

In the past, Roman always felt that Cesar made too much of a fuss about his injury.Only now did he understand the deep affection contained in the "fuss" again and again.

And he got Cesar hurt again.Will there be any sequelae?Roman once had a teammate who gave up fencing because of a habitual dislocation of his shoulder.What about Cesar?Roman couldn't imagine him not holding his sword anymore.Cesar was like born for the sword.If he gives up the military attack, not only his fans will regret it, but he himself may also...

"Hey," Alex bumped him with his shoulder, "I told you such a big secret, should you repay me?"

Roman immediately came out of the sad mood.As long as Alex spoke, those around him had little or no time to grieve.

"Why are you acting like an intelligence dealer? Well, how much do you want?"

"Roman, Roman, you don't understand anything," Alex said, "Information is priceless, how can it be measured with vulgar money? And do I look like I'm short of money?"

...Yeah, sometimes Roman almost forgets that Alex is a rich man.He is so down-to-earth, completely opposite to his stepbrother who looks like "I'm rich" written on his face, it's hard to believe that they are brothers who live together day and night under the same roof.

"What do you want? Please make a legal request, thank you, otherwise I will be very embarrassed."

"I still need to find you for an illegal request? Do you know that I can call a van with just one call..."

"Okay, I see. Can you make a long story short."

Alex endured the irritability of being interrupted, and said: "Only intelligence can exchange information. I revealed a piece of news to you, and you have to give me back a piece of news."

"What can I tell you?"

The red-haired young man stared at the door of Cesar's ward with a little anxiety, as if he was guarding against someone breaking in suddenly.

"Did something happen between you and Nolan in the castle?" He asked, "He was acting weird after he came out, as if he wanted to say something to me, but he always stopped talking. Does he know that I deliberately don't want to talk to you?" Did you pretend to deal with the guards outside to see him?"

Roman nodded.Alex is usually careless, but unexpectedly sharp at critical moments.But why hasn't he found out that his brother wants to sleep with him?

"Is he angry?" Alex asked nervously. "What did he tell you? Was he trying to get back at me, humiliate me, or something?"

What he meant should be the humiliation of reputation in the usual sense, not the humiliation in bed... Roman thought.What misunderstanding did he have about his brother?Nolan liked him so much, why would he deliberately embarrass him?Although Roman and Cesar also found it interesting to mock and bully Alex.

It was really hard for Roman to speak to Alex.If he leaked Nolan's secret, he might wake up tomorrow morning and find himself put in a container and boarded a freighter bound for Africa.But let's not talk... I'm a little sorry for Alex, after all, he knew everything just now.

After a battle between heaven and man, Roman finally decided to take a side-step.As for whether he can comprehend the true meaning of his words, it depends on Alex's own understanding.

"He doesn't like your association with me, I mean, he doesn't want you and me to be friends."

"Sure enough!" Alex slapped his thigh, triumphantly, as if he had solved an old unsolved case, "He admires you and sees that you have a good relationship with me, so he is jealous!"

No, no, he is indeed jealous, but the object of jealousy is completely opposite, okay?

Roman struggled to resist the desire to tell the truth.Let Alex be so misunderstood.Maybe it is a kind of happiness for him to keep in the dark all his life.

Nolan Norfolk pushed the door out of the ward.Alex stood up and yelled, "Can we go? I can't stand the smell of disinfectant here!"

"Shh, Alex." Nolan raised his finger, "This is a hospital, don't make any noise."

Alex was beaming, and he didn't pay attention to his stepbrother's reminder at all.

Nolan turned to Roman and said, "You can go and send him flowers."

It was only then that Roman remembered that he was still foolishly holding a large bouquet of flowers.He stood up, took a deep breath, and straightened his collar.Before going to see Cesar, he had to be fully prepared.

"Are you going to propose?" Alex said sarcastically.

Before Roman could take the first step, the hospital broadcast sounded in the corridor.

"Dear patients and visitors, today's visiting hours are over..."

Roman was disappointed.He wasted too much time with Alex, and even missed the time to visit Cesar.He wanted to seize the last chance to deliver flowers to Cesar, but the nurses had already started rushing people away.

"I can help you give the flowers to the patient." The nurse said kindly.

Roman could only give her the bouquet and told her to send it to Cesar's pillow.The nurse winked at him teasingly: "I will definitely live up to your kindness."

Not my kindness, but Edward's.Roman wanted to say so.But in the end he just smiled and thanked the nurse.

***

"So? That Edward provoked you and gave you a challenge. You want to defeat him in the game and destroy his evil plot, but you don't want to tell Cesar the truth?"

Alisa's home.The hostess and guests are preparing dinner together.Alisa fried the bacon and Romain stirred the salad.Enya lay on the floor of the living room and daubed on the paper with a crayon.

"I'm afraid of disturbing his recovery. His mood will definitely affect his health. And with the deep hatred between the two of them, once Cesar heard that Edward was also going to participate in the competition, he might step up his training for me. His body..." Roman While talking, the stirring stopped, "I...I just hope he can relax a little bit."

"But he will know sooner or later. Anyone could know about it before him and pass it on to him. At the latest when the list of players is announced, he will know."

Roman sighed: "Delay as long as you can. Just treat it as a white lie. But I didn't actually lie, I just concealed the truth."

"I don't think you need to be so cautious, let alone take all the burden on yourself. Cesar might be willing to share everything with you."

"Share my burden?" Roman smiled bitterly, "Forget it. I'm satisfied if he is happy."

Alisa glanced at him with a complicated expression: "If Cesar heard what you said..." She shook her head, "Oh, forget it, you have your own destiny, let it be."

Roman mixed the salad, moved the pot of green vegetables to the dining table, and turned to greet Enya.The little girl ran over grabbing the paintbrush and her masterpiece, and when she saw the "good meal" prepared by her godfather, she pouted in disgust.

"I don't want to eat vegetables! This is only for women who want to lose weight, and I don't need to lose weight!"

"Well, you will definitely not think so in ten years' time."

Roman held out his hand to her: "Give me the pen and paper, and go wash your hands."

Enya handed over the brush and masterpiece to Roman.Her godfather struggled to make out the large and small patches of color she had left on the paper. "What did you draw? A gray alien?"

"It's Humphrey!" Enya yelled from the bathroom. "It's him in his armor!"

"Wow, you are so interested in armor at such a young age, it's like my own baby!"

Roman was also obsessed with swords and armor when she was her age.But he's still obsessed with those things to this day.

Enya ran back shaking her little hands. "Actually, I'm not interested in armor at all. It's my mother who is interested. She calls Humphrey every day and comes to see a lot of photos."

"Enya! Don't talk nonsense!" Alisa screamed in the kitchen, "I'm here for work! I took over the job of explaining the historical reenactment battle, so I just asked Humphrey for some information!"

Roman frowned, realizing that the problem was not simple.Alyssa and Humphrey... ouch, although he had never imagined the possibility of these two being together, there was nothing wrong with such a pairing.Alisa is a strong woman, she doesn't need any so-called "men's support", she can arrange everything in an orderly manner by herself.A woman's need for a man's support is only a figment of the man's imagination.They can always get things done in their own right.But with Humphrey's support in her family and career, she's even more powerful.Love is always 1+1>2.

"Oh, I'm really touched by your professionalism." Roman decided not to expose Alisa's good-natured concealment. "When can I explain with you? Don't you want to arrange an interview for me?"

As soon as the voice fell, there was only a "pop", and the room was instantly plunged into darkness.

"Damn, it must have tripped again." Alyssa turned off the stove, "It's probably another electrical failure, I should have replaced this pair of antiques. Roman, can you go and see the distribution box? Push the switch Just come up."

"no problem."

Roman used the flashlight of his mobile phone to illuminate and walked out of the house in the dark.When he was outside, the light was much brighter, and the lights from street lamps and other houses were enough for him to see the road clearly.

The distribution box is at the back of the house.Roman doesn't know much about electrical engineering, but since Alisa's IQ can find where the switch is, he must be able to.

He opened the distribution box and pushed the switch, but Alisa's house was still dark.He took a closer look at the distribution box to make sure he hadn't pushed the wrong switch.That's when he realized something was wrong.

Several wires were disconnected. Judging from the shape of the fracture, it was definitely not blown off naturally, but cut by someone.

A woman's terrified scream came from the house.

"This is my house! Get out! Or I'm going to call the police!"
