Chapter 164 Traffic Accident
Janet leisurely released the recording pen to further blow Edward.
"But on a condition, I'm going to take the kids!"
That made Edward sad. He heard her voices of laughter, crying, anger and coquetry, none of which ever had made him so desperate.
Last time Alice wanted to get his baby aborted, he thought that she just didn't want to have the baby, but this time, she was going to leave with Albert and Rebecca.
The sound of the digital recorder had started to replay automatically. Edward grabbed the recorder and threw it away brutally, as if it was something terrible.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
All sorts of emotions poured into his heart. He got a little confused. These days Alice's being unwilling to have the baby was a dagger to his heart, so he had been on the fence and didn't know whether to see her or not.
It was until today that he finally decided to visit Alice, but she had determined to leave him.
The telephone rang, but he didn't want to answer it.
When Alice walked to a crossroads close to her home, the sky was already getting dark. She needed to hurry up, otherwise she might miss dinner. After all, starvation did harm to the baby.
She touched her belly and smiled. Since she determined to take good care of it. She must first stay in health, so she could give birth to the baby at her best.
With a thud, something happened.
Before Alice even knew it, she had fallen on the ground. At the last minute before getting unconscious, Alice was protecting her belly. But the pain at the belly never stopped. My baby, my baby.
No one got out of the car that hit Alice. The man in the car turned around and left.
The bodyguards who followed her closely, hurriedly rushed to her and helped Alice up.
"Baby, my baby..."
Some of them called the police, and some informed Edward. But they all reached a consensus that the President must be furious.
Soon the bodyguards sent Alice to the hospital. But unfortunately she still miscarried. Shaking head, the doctor sighed and exclaimed, "Why didn't you take good care of her?" The bodyguards stared at each other.
""Who is her husband?" There was still no response.
"Her husband will be here in a while." The doctor shook his head again.
Joanna watched Alice to be sent to the hospital, and then got away. Yes, it was Joanna who hit Alice.
As mayor Hale's daughter, Joanna felt emboldened. In this city, mayor Hale did be too powerful.
Besides, Alice walked so absentmindedly that she was hit by a car. It was normal, right?
It was none of Joanna's business.
When Alice woke up, Edward still hadn't arrived at the hospital. The bodyguards didn't know what to do.
Alice felt her stomach subconsciously, and she was stunned. Her baby was gone. How could it happen?
Alice closed her eyes. Maybe that was its fate, after all, she ever thought to get it aborted.
You get what you get, and you don't get upset
Alice wanted the bodyguards to go back first. She had nothing to do with Edward, and she would not be relaxed with the bodyguards around her. But when she opened her mouth to say something, no sound came out.
Her vocal cords had been hurt in the accident when she screamed the lungs out.
But she didn't know then. She couldn't speak now, which make her panicked.
"You're up!" A nurse came in and changed her dressing.
Alice opened her mouth, but still made no sound.
The nurse was stunned, and then she got the doctor to check it.
After a thorough check, the doctor frowned and said, "You can't speak. The bruising of your vocal cord made you dumb."
Such a case was rarely seen in the history of medicine. The bruising of
no
the vocal cord did make one have voice. But the patient isolated himself or herself from others unconsciously could also suffer the illness.
Alice couldn't talk. She was lying in bed, overwhelmed. At that moment she was hit by the car, she thought a lot, her baby, her mother, and Edward at last.
At that time, she seemed to have called Edward's name... But no one came to save her, just like five years ago, when she could only feel helpless to let her baby killed.
Car accident, the gone baby, and no voice, all of which were the punishment to her from God. If so, she had nothing to say.
Her friends had got hurt one by one, like the car accident to Jacquiline and the aphasia of John. Now was it her turn? Alice's tears ran down her face.
The nurse felt sorry for Alice. She
didn't know how to comfort this woman who was in despair. She had a car accident, miscarried, and even was unable to speak. What a miserable life she led.
What she can do was to wipe the tears on Alice's face, comforting her silently.
It had been a long time before Alice's eyes stopped streaming. Well, John was drugged and became mute for the sake of her, while she now was dumb, making them a perfect match. When Edward finally calmed down, his telephone rang again.
After hesitating for a second, Edward finally answered the phone, afraid that something was wrong with Alice. Well, even if she was going to leave him, he still cared about her a lot! "President, ma'am, ma'am..." The hesitation made Edward annoyed. He shouted, "Stop calling her ma'am!"
She was going to leave him, and she didn't want to be his wife. Calling her ma'am made no sense.
"Yes." The man on the other end froze for a moment.
"What's wrong with her?" Edward thought it was about that Alice wanted him to pull out her bodyguards, so he was a little upset.
"Miss Roberts got a car accident and she was in the hospital..." Before he finished, Edward broke out into shouting.
"Craps, why didn't you protect her well? Where is she now?"
The roar of Edward filled the office. How could she get a car accident? Edward, who had always kept a straight face, was trembling.00000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
