Chapter 231
After lunch, the care worker came back to replace Nelissa. It was almost noon. Nelissa planned to have some food nearby. The afternoon sun was very bright and the temperature was very high. After dissipating the cold air of the air conditioner, it soon became hot.
Nelissa took out a thin and transparent white dress from her bag and put it on lightly. She didn’t like to carry an umbrella with her. She felt that it was too heavy and inconvenient to put it in her bag. The clothes were very good and the style was beautiful.
Passing by a very distinctive flower shop, Nelissa rarely had a free day, so she went to have a look. The shop was not big, and a palm-sized place leisurely strolled around. There were many delicate potted plants. Nelissa bought two small potted plants and planned to take them back to Sonya’s ward.
After paying the bill, she called Edward and asked him if he had had lunch while walking on the street.
Edward had just left the group and was getting a car in the parking lot. He held his mobile phone and got out of the car. He put his elbow on the steering wheel, and the diamond watch on his wrist reflected the time. He looked at his thin lips and said, “Do you want me to accompany you? But I have something to do at noon today. How about you bear with it for a day?”
Nelissa felt a little pity and said in a different tone, “Who would have thought that you would accompany me? I was just asking you.” Hearing the man’s low and joyful laughter, Nelissa bit her lips gently. She felt that she was childish, and the IQ of the women in love was low.
However, Edward was so mean that he liked to tease her.
As soon as they turned the red light at the intersection, the people on the road stopped and waited. Standing among the crowd, Nelissa looked at the endless cars on the road and asked, “What are you doing now? No matter how busy you are, you can’t skip lunch.”
Edward replied with a “hmm” and started the luxury car as he said, “I’m in the car now. I’ll eat it after I’m done with work.”
He turned the steering wheel and drove out of the parking lot. Anna asked him to meet at one o’clock in the afternoon, and now it was twelve o’clock. He said, “Where are you? Have you eaten?”
Nelissa said, “Not yet, but it’ll be soon. I’m going to eat now.” She looked down at her skirt and said her plan, “I’m on leave this week and don’t need to go to work. I want to see your grandfather. Before that, I want to pick a gift for him. What do you think I should buy? Give me some advice.”
Edward knew what was going on in his heart. The old man had been dominating the world all his life, so he didn’t care about the value of the gifts. He said, “My grandfather has seen more good things than me. No matter how exquisite the gifts are, it’s useless. He only likes two things: drinking tea and listening to opera dramas. I’ll accompany you to pick them tomorrow.”
“Yes.” Nelissa was immediately relieved. With Edward opening the back door for her, she would have to rely on his contributions.
Although she had seen Mikaelson a few times, she couldn’t even talk to him. She didn’t understand the old man at all. She only felt that he was a very dignified old man, the kind of person who didn’t dare to make trouble for the younger generation.
Edward’s voice sounded magnetic and distant. He put his mobile phone on the item in front of the car and turned on the speaker. “If you have time in the afternoon, go to our new home to see the decoration progress and see if you like it or not. Tell the people there if you have any questions.”
“Okay.” Nelissa agreed with a smile. When she heard the sound of the car over there, she knew that he was driving. She thought that he always drove very fast, especially when driving a sports car. He liked a straightforward feeling. Men driving was totally different from women driving.
She drove according to the rules. For example, no matter how fast the speed of this road was limited, she would drive at this speed. Therefore, Edward rarely took the initiative to let her drive unless it was necessary. He thought she was gentle.
Men’s desire to conquer was not only for women, but also for many other aspects.
Nelissa didn’t want Edward to be distracted. After they said goodbye to each other, she hung up the phone. She didn’t know what had happened behind her. Suddenly, a strong force pushed her out of the road…
At the moment of the accident, Nelissa clearly saw the last 10 seconds of the red light on the sidewalk. She didn’t even have time to scream. The horn of the car on the road rang crazily. A motorcycle narrowly brushed past her. The phone in her hand fell and fell into the bottom of the tire. The motorcycle tilted and pressed, making the sound of breaking.
There were also many people who exclaimed. They were all people who stood at the intersection and waited for the green light. However, they saw a young woman commit suicide by rushing out of the road. The driving vehicles and motorcycles turned the road one after another. As a result, there were many serious car accidents. The scene was in chaos and traffic was paralyzed.
Edward stretched out his hand. Just as he was about to scroll on his phone, he heard a loud noise from Nelissa’s side. Then there was an ear-piercing car horn. He suddenly said, “Nelissa?”
No one answered. He breathed heavily and shouted anxiously, “Nelissa, Nelissa!”
In the end, the chaotic voices on Nelissa’s side suddenly stopped, leaving only a long and empty sound.
Edward quickly picked up his phone to have a look. Nelissa had already hung up the phone. As he drove the steering wheel to park the car on the roadside, he dialed Nelissa’s number again. He couldn’t get through, and the cold voice prompt kept saying that the phone had been turned off.
Edward frowned and had a bad feeling. A moment ago, he was talking and laughing with him, but now he suddenly turned off his mobile phone without any reason. It was not what Nelissa would do. He unfastened his seat belt, took his mobile phone and made another call, but it was still turned off.
This kind of feeling of being out of touch with Nelissa was very bad. Edward held the phone tightly and held it very hard. The veins on the back of his hand bulged and he breathed quietly in the repressed space. After resting for a few seconds, he forced himself to suppress his anxiety, quickly responded, and calmly located Nelissa’s position with his mobile phone.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
The new phone he had bought for Nelissa had the same device as his. Even if the phone was turned off, he could find the location. He had paid extra attention to the system he had installed for Nelissa, so he hadn’t told her. If he told her, she would definitely say that he was overbearing.
But he just couldn’t control himself from being overbearing to her. If he lost her, he would go crazy.
A few minutes later, he found Nelissa’s location near the Jung Hospital.
Edward was still some distance away. He turned the steering wheel and drove over quickly. The speed of the car was very fast, and he walked on a relatively short road. Along the way, he was surprisingly calm and his mind was very fast. In an instant, he had passed by one thing after another. One scene after another filled his mind, and his nerves were in pain. It was a mess.
When they were almost there, the road ahead was blocked with cars. It seemed that it had been blocked for a period of time. The cars couldn’t get through at all and couldn’t get through for a while.
Edward decisively abandoned the car, and his tall and straight figure shuttled between cars one after another. His long and straight legs walked very fast, and the fierce sun shone on his broad back. It was very hot, and his whole person was filled with a kind of annoying heat, almost out of breath.
