Chapter 224
At that time, Jolene was on the verge of breaking down. When she was pregnant, her stomach became big and it wasn’t very convenient for her to walk around. When she was hungry, she could only ask Jolene to prepare food for her. She made several meals a day, and at night, she had to wake up Jolene to go buy. When Jolene was about to go to work, he had to prepare a lot of delicious food for her in advance, so as not to let her, a little pregnant woman, starve to death at home.
During that period of time, she had been raised until she was white and fat, while Jolene had lost 10 Jin…
Edward held the glass in his hand and lowered his eyes slightly. He really wanted to participate in the process of Nelissa’s pregnancy.
When he was sleeping.
Nelissa was lying on her side in Edward’s arms, sleepy. Her phone beside the bed vibrated slightly at this time. She leaned to one side and picked up her phone, squinting at the message.
Jolene sent a WeChat message: “Are you and your husband usually so agitated?”
Nelissa was stunned. What kind of thrill was that? She… she, she, she was on the bed just now, was the sound very loud? Jolene could hear it from next door? It couldn’t be…
She typed two words: “What?”
Jolene replied: Stop pretending. I was at your house just now. You guys were so passionate that I nearly had a heart attack!
Nelissa typed several question marks with her trembling fingers and sent them to him without asking for any explanation.
Jolene said, “I thought you weren’t coming back tonight. It was so late, and I didn’t feel at ease sleeping at home for Nathan. So I decided to spend the night at your house. However, you and your husband were the ones sleeping in your bed, so I didn’t dare to go up and sleep, so I went to the living room to sleep on the sofa. Just as I was about to fall asleep, you and your husband came back…”
Nelissa typed a string of words and was too ashamed to answer.
Jolene continued, “Fortunately, I wasn’t awake at that time and didn’t say hello. Otherwise, it would have been so awkward. When you came back, you didn’t even turn on the lights and didn’t even say anything. You just got up like that. I was really afraid that you and Edward would come to the living room once. Fortunately, he carried you into the room, so I slipped away quietly.”
Nelissa couldn’t utter a single word, her cheeks burning.
Jolene joked, “After all, you and Edward are newly married, and we’re both healthy and healthy men and women. I can understand your strong needs in that aspect.”
Nelissa finally typed a few words, “What else did you see?”
Jolene replied: No, I was almost asleep at that time. I was still in a daze and you guys weren’t willing to turn on the lights, so I checked my outfit and heard a faint sound… However, you can now use money to cover my mouth. My hush money is definitely not expensive. Your husband can afford it.
Nelissa snorted. “If you see anything, I’ll dig out your eyes.”
Jolene was shocked: That wicked woman!
Nelissa held her phone and laughed. It was very embarrassing and embarrassing to be exposed. Luckily, she had a strong relationship with Jolene. She put down her phone and returned to Edward’s warm arms. She looked up and said to him, “I hate you.” It was all his fault. She didn’t turn on the light to see if there was anyone else in the house.
Edward was tired tonight and was about to fall asleep. He patted Nelissa’s waist and hips with his hands and put her in his arms to coax her. “Don’t make trouble. I’ll flirt with you tomorrow.”
Nelissa: “…”
Tomorrow was the day of her mother’s surgery.
Nelissa gently snuggled in Edward’s arms, closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep. She had a dream all night. When she woke up the next morning, she had forgotten what kind of dream it was. She didn’t know if it was a good dream or a nightmare. She had no impression of it.
In the morning of the Jung Hospital.
There were a few operations that had to be done in the morning. Among them, the operation of Qi Chuying was a big one, which was very delicate and difficult. It took at least a few hours. In addition to Mr. Su, who was at the level of Austin, there were also some famous doctors in the city. It was unknown whether they were here to learn or to help.
The surgeon of the operation was still Alex. Mr. Su asked him to make the decision. Everything was ready. The patient was pushed into the operating room. The red light was on, indicating that the operation had begun…
Looking at the red lamp, Nelissa was slightly absent-minded, and her heart sank with fear. The air conditioner outside the operating room was very strong, and she felt cold all over. She couldn’t help recalling that five years ago, she was also outside the operating room, waiting for her mother’s operation to end, and the doctor came out to announce the result.
At that time, her mother had a very serious car accident and was sent to the hospital by an ambulance for rescue. Although the nurse had simply bandaged her wounds, she still couldn’t stop bleeding and bled a lot.
When she arrived, her mother’s clothes were all soaked with blood and flowed from the stretcher to the ground.
She had been shouting her mother’s name. The nurse said that the injured had completely fainted, and it was useless to call her name. But she could still feel that the blood flowed from her mother’s hand to hers. At first, it was sticky, but soon it became cold and solidified.
At that time, her whole heart fell to the bottom of the valley. She trembled and watched her mother being pushed into the operating room. The moment the door was closed, the red light lit up. She knelt on the ground feebly as if her backbone had been removed. Looking at the blood on her hands and skirt, she suddenly lost her strength.
Then there was a long wait for the operation.
At that time, Zayden had been by her side all the time. The operation seemed to have been carried out for an entire morning, or longer. She had lost the concept of time. She had been staring at the red lamp. Finally, the light went out, and the doctor came out to announce the result.
He said coldly, “I’m sorry. I saved the life of the wounded, but…”
She couldn’t hear the last few words clearly. Her mind was in a mess and she felt a sharp pain. She didn’t believe what the doctor said. Even when her mother was pushed out of the operating room, she was still unconscious. Her face was as pale as paper and her body was in a bad state.
At that time, she could only cry and cry bitterly. For the rest of the time, she could not face this reality. She would cry every day in a trance. Later, Zayden slapped her in the face and shouted at her, making her sober up…
Now that she thought about it, the past was like the wind, but the situation did not change. She still stayed outside the operating room and waited for the results of her mother’s operation.
Nelissa sighed deeply and looked down at her toes. The delicate girl seemed to be curled up into a ball, more delicate and pitiful. She was alone, waiting for others.
Edward took off his suit jacket and put it on Nelissa. He held her little hand with his big hand and took her to the resting chair next to him. He didn’t know how to comfort people, nor did he know how to talk useless nonsense at this time. He believed that what Nelissa needed most at the moment was not someone else’s comfort, but a quiet company.
At the end of the operation, no matter the result was good or bad, he would accompany her. Edward’s idea was very simple: If the operation failed, he would find a better doctor for Nelissa and invite her back abroad. As long as there was hope, he would help her fight for it.
Time ticked by, and a long time passed.
Nelissa looked up and found that Edward was looking at her. He seemed to have been looking at her and paying attention to her emotional changes. She was a little moved. He had never been a gentle and considerate man, but he was very good to her, very careful and caring.
She suddenly wanted to know, “How… how were you when your mother passed away?”
Edward’s eyes gradually became deep. He seemed to be hesitating and casually answering, “Nothing special. It’s just a funeral. Many people came and many people cried, just like that.”
He knew very well that death meant death.
Nelissa tilted her head slightly and leaned her tender face gently against Edward’s shoulder. “I seem to have asked a very stupid question.”
Edward didn’t take it seriously. He said with a faint smile, “I’m not as delicate as you women. These are not my taboos. I told you about my family’s affairs a long time ago. It’s not a secret.”
Nelissa stared blankly at his perfect profile. He turned to look straight at her. Looking at his dark and deep eyes, she asked, “Did you cry at that time?”
After asking, Edward paused. Nelissa was also stunned. She didn’t intend to give him an answer, so she continued, “I thought I would cry today, but I found that I was much calmer than before. I didn’t cry. Maybe it’s because you’re with me.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Edward couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows with a smile. “What a sweet mouth.”
Nelissa said seriously, “It’s true. I will be scared if I’m alone.”
It was completely different with Edward around. He was a very reliable and reliable man on a big issue. Only he could give her such a secure sense of security. She could rely on him freely and rely on his broad and strong shoulders.
Edward raised his big hand to her head and said in a gentle voice, “Don’t be afraid.”
Nelissa’s heart softened and she replied softly, “Yes.”
At 12 o’clock in the afternoon, in the Quest family’s villa.
Susan was dressed beautifully. She went downstairs, changed into a pair of beautiful limited edition high heels, and went straight to the garage to get the car. When she got on the car key, the car door was suddenly opened. Zayden took out her car key and held it in his hand. He asked emotionlessly, “Where are you going?”
Susan hesitated and said, “The hospital. You should have heard that mom will have an operation today. I want to go to the hospital to see the situation and the results of the operation.”
Zayden didn’t even look up. As he walked, he said, “There’s no need to go. You’re staying at home today. You don’t have to go anywhere.”
Susan got out of the car and asked, “Why?” She quickly caught up with Zayden in high heels and asked him, “She is also my mother. Why can’t I go to the hospital?”
Zayden stopped and put his hands in his trousers. He looked at Susan and sneered. “She is just your adoptive mother. You are not related by blood.”
Susan had always pretended to be good. Although she was very fake, very few people knew her fake side. Most people were blinded by her beauty and gentle character.
