Chapter 171 The Note
He looked at her from a distance, who became much slimmer than the first time he saw her in the hospital. Besides, she didn't look well, pausing for a rest after she took several paces. He never saw her like this before because she was a doctor herself who could avoid many ailments and diseases and attached great importance to the healthy life.
In the five years overseas, even John fell ill but she never felt sick. She used to be a fit and gorgeous lady but now she was ruined by Edward.
John had no idea what he was going to say. He knew clearly that she was resilient and strong but often got stubborn every time she dealt with something related to Edward. John was pleased while angry.
He was angry at Edward who didn't give her a good life; meanwhile, he felt lucky because he might leave her a positive impression as the opposite of Edward.
Perhaps, after the accident, Alice would never love Edward again. What's more, he and Alice had known each other for so long a time, so he might have the chance to be her boyfriend.
No matter how he felt now, he was determined to do one thing.
That is, to take her away.
John wrote a note and asked the doctor to give it to Alice.
"If you want to leave, please call me. I am always ready to help you."
After Alice finished the examination, she got a note from a doctor. Although she didn't know what it was, she was inclined to hide it from others.
Luckily, the safeguards would not intrude her privacy so she managed to conceal it. When she was home, she opened the note secretly. Although it was not addressed without any phone number like a little trick, she knew it was from John. Should she leave?
Maybe it's an easy question for she had been ready to leave Edward who, however, always kept connections with her and treated her mildly with warmth and love, which touched her deeply.
During the pregnancy, she wanted to abandon the baby and to leave Edward because she was unsettled about the future and her mother was controlled by Janet.
But she was sorry to the baby and Edward took a good care of her so she decided to deliver their baby.
But now, the baby was gone so why did she still stay?
Perhaps, it's because of Edward whose grief was witnessed by her. Therefore, although he didn't come back these days, she didn't want to leave.
Perhaps, Edward was more important to her than she thought.
'I was born like a bitch', she thought.
Edward didn't return so long that he might find the girl who he was looking for to live together through the rest of his life. So there might be no need for her to explain what she wanted to accounted for. She intended to give him an explanation when he came back. But what did she have to explain? The baby or the car accident? Those happening in the past were in no need of any explanation. When the time passed, everything would lose its color.
Suddenly a loud noise sounded.
She turned to find a man who was not supposed to be here. It's Edward. He appeared at the moment when she wanted to leave.
And instantly, she consciously hide the note but it's too late.
Edward discovered her unnatural behavior. He planned to look at her in an indifferent way but the note caught his attention.
He grabbed the note with illegible handwritings and tears.
Although he was not familiar to John's writings, nobody now would say those things to Alice without any contact except John.
Edward was away for nearly a month. He had no idea how to treat Alice so he pretended to be unconcerned about her. But he never thought about letting her go.
All those consequences hurt Edward who missed Alice extremely for a month. But what about Alice?
She concentrated on the note given
by John when he came back,
al
thinking of a leave. It's not the first time for her to be like this. She left him five years ago, married John, and signed the agreement with his mother for freedom. All she did was toleave.
Edward was pondering that Alice was about to go away. But what could he do to retain her? He had loved her so much. He agreed with her when she didn't want their baby as long as she was willing to stand by him.
Edward was to yield to Alice. He hoped that they could love each other again since the baby was lost who was not wanted by her.
He had never become so inferior, thinking that as long as Alice stayed, he could abandon the baby. He couldn't sleep well for a month.
Although he spent most of the time with fops attending all kinds of clubs, he still felt lonely. At the first sight of Alice, he knew that it's only Alice that could satisfy him truly. While he missed her so much, she was flirting with another man. He could not bear it!
"What's this?" Edward hoped to hear the truth from Alice, but she always disappointed him.
He then asked her twice, but she kept silent.
He almost forgot that she was unable to speak.
At the thought of it, he was in a bad mood again,
"Does he want to bring you away since you are dumb? Where can you go? The society of the disable?" Edward spoke without careful diction and hurt Alice with the cruelest words. He now was outraged.
Looking at him without love, Alice complained, 'How could he say that? How dare he? It's for him that John was poisoned and lost his voice. How could he insult John in that way?'All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Due to the long-time depression and the dissatisfaction towards Edward's behaviors, Alice burst into crying.
Her tears dropped like the flood. She didn't want the baby, Edward or John to get hurt. But the results were the opposite.
