Chapter 141 They Are Your Children
Seeing the negative comments on Alice, John is furious. It is obvious that someone has secretly damaged the reputation of Alice. He can have guessed who it will be without thinking about it. What does it mean to take children and seduce Edward?
They are Edward's children!
Thinking of that Alice is misunderstood now, John is anxious. He picks up the phone placed on the bedside table with the hand that has just been cured and calls Alice. But no one answers.
John is more anxious. Alice may be with Edward now. Will Edward do anything to her?
John, who is originally quite at ease, watches the news on the TV and calls Alice several times. When he is about to give up, the phone is connected.
Although the phone has been connected, Alice does not say anything. John is anxious. He cannot speak now, but he wants to hear the voice of Alice to confirm that she is safe.
After a long time, John does not hang up. Finally, a deep and mellow male voice comes, "John?"
It is Edward!
John recognizes the voice of Edward. He frowns. Where is Alice?
John doesn't expect that Edward will meet him one day.
He stays in the hospital all the time, and rarely comes to a quiet place. Facing the silent Edward, John feels nervous.
"I heard from the doctor that your hands and feet are slowly recovering?" Edward says.
John doesn't want to admit it, but he still nods to Edward and makes a writing gesture to the waiter not far away.
The waiter takes out the paper and the pen and puts it in front of John's desk.
John reaches out his right hand with the bandage and writes two words on the paper: Thank you.
Then, he hands it to Edward.
Edward glances at the paper. Looking at John's elegant face, he knows that John is thanking for that he has looked for someone to cure him. He just does it because he does not want Alice to feel guilty. "You are welcome." John frowns, and writes on the paper slowly again: Is the Alice OK?
"Do you think I'll treat her badly?" Edward asks in a tone of indifference.
John shakes his head. Edward leaves Joanna at the wedding and snatches away Alice at his own wedding site. It turned out that Edward really loves Alice and doesn't want her to marry him.
Edward loves Alice.
What about Alice?
Thinking of this, John feels pained and writes several words: Bless you.
Seeing the words, Edward's expression is changed. Edward knows John from the time he knows Alice many years ago. John looks after Alice like a neighbor's elder brother. Only the silly Alice thinks John really regards her as his sister. Edward knows that John loves Alice, so he proposes to her before graduation. He is afraid that one day, when Alice finds out John's love for herself, he will have a strong rival.
No one knows better than Edward how much John cares about Alice.
"You saved her." Edward says. He is frustrated. "At that time, did she hate me for not protecting her and our children?"
Hearing this, John stuns and recalls the scene of that year.
Only when Alice asks for his help, does he know how cruel she has suffered. She is forced to drink the drugs for abortion and signs a divorce agreement. She is driven out of the Smith's and is lying in the rain with blood all over her body. If he is a little bit late, she and her children may have already died.
He catches her home to stop bleeding. However, the next day he goes to the hospital to get medicine, she disappears again.
When he finds her at the seaside, the despair on her face is unforgettable for him.
Without the children, he really doesn't know how to motivate her to live.
Because of this that John strongly disapproves of any connection between Alice and Edward.
But...
"Do you know what? In fact, I envy you very much. I envy that you are by her side when she is hardest and needed others to accompany her most. Instead of protecting her well, I hurt her all the time..." Edward looks at John and reveals his inner fragility. Who can have thought that Edward will say that he envies others one day? He is so proud, but admits that he is wrong now.
John's mood is very complicated. He watches Edward drink the wine he ordered. "She says that after that night five years ago, she had let go of me, and she didn't love me any more. No matter how hard I try, she doesn't love me anymore..." John opens his mouth and wants to say something, but he cannot.
He cannot say anything.
"I don't want to give up, do you know?" Edward takes a sip, looks at John and roars.
John is sad. How can he not understand?
If Alice loves him, no matter how much resistance, no matter how many difficulties, he will stand by her side.
But...
She does not love him from the beginning to the end.
How can he continue to use her guilt and block her way to happiness?
They have known each other for so many years. How can he not know who Alice loves?
"Even if you are important for her and she does not love me now, I will never give her to you, John, she can only be mine!" Edward says word by word, as serious as he is swearing.
John does not make a sound. Even though he wants to speak, he cannot.
He takes out his pen and paper and writes slowly, as if he has been thinking for a long time before he writes a line: They are your children.
After writing, John moves the paper to Edward.
Edward glances at the paper. Because the paper is inverted, he doesn't see what is written clearly. When he reacts, he is stunned and looks at John. "What do you mean? John looks at him.
"Do you mean Albert and Rebecca are my children?"
John does not reply him.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
"Really?" Edward is excited. He gets up and grabs John's arms and asks.
Seeing this, John can only nod and admit.
Edward is so surprised. Albert and Rebecca are actually his children.
He should have guessed it.
For the first time he sees the two children, he feels familiar with them. He likes them for no reason. He has suspected that they are his children. However, the information he found and the denial of Alice makes him not think more.00☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
