Chapter 165 You Are Heartless
Janet was still here. After hearing the news, she couldn't help smiling. Alice, that bitch, was finally paid out!
"Do you still want to visit her even if she has made up her mind to leave you?" Janet asked. Edward turned a deaf ear to his mother's words. At the moment, all in his mind was that Alice had a car accident.
Janet didn't care whether Edward was listening to her or not. She watched him leaving, took a deep look at Nivea, and then walked away step by step elegantly.
Edward stepped on the gas all the way to the hospital while driving until he finally arrived at the hospital, not knowing how many red lights he had run through.
Edward walked quickly to the entrance of Alice's ward. Her bodyguards had the jitters when they saw their president coming with anger. They immediately made way for him.
When Edward was just about to push the door in, he stopped suddenly.
Maybe Alice didn't want to see him at all.
"What happened?" He asked the bodyguards.
They kept pushing and hesitating and didn't know how to explain. Finally someone stood up and told him all. Maybe it was because the staff was afraid of being scolded by the president so he just mentioned that Alice didn't concentrate on walking. She walked to the driveway and was hit by a car. The driver slipped away for fear.
Edward frowned deeply. He ordered someone to call the police and then paid all his attention to Alice.
"How is she?" No matter how angry he was, he should better calm down to hear what the doctor said.
"Not good. There was the miscarriage. Your wife... Well, Miss Roberts's vocal cord was hurt." Hearing the response of the doctor, Edward was stunned. The baby couldn't be kept. The baby that he had been expecting for so long was dead. And Alice's vocal cord was torn. She was a person who thought highly of herself. She would be so sad that she was unable to speak in the future.
"Damn it!" Edward hit the wall with a punch, shrouded in a blue atmosphere.
Alice had been lying in the bed for a very, very long time...
Time seemed to be frozen. With the people came in and went out, she didn't move at all.
The baby's death was so bad. Alice was ready to breed him, but the car accident had destroyed all her expectation.
Edward accompanied Alice day by day, but he was just staying by her side and kept in silence. In effect, he had so many heartfelt wishes to share with her, but now, both of them stayed in silence..
He might be waiting for an explanation from Alice, might be not. Alice couldn't speak any more. At the same time, she couldn't be mentally quiet after such a big change.
Time seemed to be frozen. She finally had time to observe this ward.
With the white wall and the strong smell of liquid medicine, everything happened five years ago emerged in her mind. She suddenly smiled.
Her smile looked bleak. Everything between Edward and her seemed to be back to the origin.
Edward stayed in the ward all the time. He didn't say a word or even act. He just held a piece of paper in his hand which could vaguely see some agreements was written on it.
Alice's vocal cord had been hurt. When she smiled silently, her expression looked desolate. Somehow, he could read a sense of relief in it.
Edward gave her a gloomy glance, but he still didn't say anything.
Alice was enveloped in an atmosphere of despair. Edward didn't like this feeling very much. She always made people feel that they owed her something. Even at this time, it was not his fault.
First she signed an agreement and wanted to leave him. And then there happened to be a car accident which brought away his baby. These tragedies were like knives stabbing him in the heart one by one. He wondered whether Alice was heartless since he spoke and acted from the bottom of his heart but she still was completely indifferent.
The nurse come to change Alice's medicine occasionally, and comforted Alice from time to time.
Edward projected a high-wattage aura in a heart-broken atmosphere.
Thus, the nurse didn't dare to speak to him. She could only murmur in her heart that he was really a person who couldn't know how to take care of others. She felt more and more sympathy for Alice's experience.
And Janet of course had heard about the news.
Janet immediately called Joanna after she learned about the news from Edward's colleagues. It made them happy. They loved to see Alice's every concession and injury.
Joanna didn't show surprise as Janet expected, but Janet didn't care. She cannot hate against Alice anymore.
Alice abducted her son to leave his home and cheated on her son five years ago. And now she haunted her son like a ghost, and even got pregnant, making his son deceived again.
The original harmonious relationship between her and her son was screwed up by Alice. Edward had not chatted with Janet calmly for a long time.
"Good."
Janet did not understand. She told all that she knew about Alice to Joanna, but she gave a respond so calmly. And what did she meant by "good"? This word sounded weird like Joanna had already known about all of this long ago.
The next word from Joanna really enlightened Janet.
"Maybe she hit the car on purpose. Didn't she want to kill the baby all this time?"
It seemed right. In that day, they all selectively ignored Alice's strange concession for them at the last moment after she decided to have an abortion in the hospital and her final request when signing the agreement.
Joanna said it intentionally, but she showed Janet another way to tear Alice and Edward apart.
The abortion event last time made the relationship between Edward and Alice strained.
Now, since the baby was miscarried, if Edward knew that Alice had taken the initiative to give up the baby, he would be able to give up Alice! Janet arrived at the hospital the next day.
The day after the accident, Alice and Edward didn't feel like to have food or have a rest and stayed in a weird silence in the ward.
Tik Tok, Tik Tok... There was only the sound of the clock.
Janet came in the ward, and the shrill sound of her high heels broke the silence.
"Well, you look half dead. Did anyone owe you?"
Janet paced around Alice's bed. Good. Alice was in terrible status. It seemed that Alice was totally defeated this time.
"Get up, stop your acting. It was you that decided to give up the baby first. Now you hatched a car accident. How tricky you are."
Baby? Hearing this word, Alice's eyes moved. Like the ice began to melt, she started to have a little vitality.
"Do you want to deny it? Don't you
insist on walking home from the club just to wait for that car? Do you really think we are all idiots? How came that car hit you accurately at such a slow speed?"
