Pampered Like A Princess

There was a separate bathroom in the ward. Edward went to take a shower first. Indeed, it couldn’t be like this. When Nelissa woke up, he came back to his senses. Standing under the shower, he washed his head with his hands. The cool water flowed along his head all the way to the underground ditch. His mind was much clearer, and his thoughts were full of questions.

Nelissa, Anna, and the truth of the car accident.

Nelissa said that someone had pushed her from behind at that time. It must have been done by someone, and it couldn’t have been done unintentionally. It must have taken a lot of effort to push someone out of the road. It was more like doing it on purpose. It was the kind of person who tried to harm Nelissa and put her to death.

Edward held the brick wall with one hand, and the water flowed down his slightly drooping handsome face. His breathing became heavier and heavier. He kept sorting out his thoughts. Who would hate her so much that they wanted her to die?

The people around him, or the people around Nelissa?

There were several people in his mind, one of whom was Sophie. She was not in Haleston City at the moment, but there were many things that he didn’t need to do by himself. Money could make the ghost push, let alone a scapegoat. People born in wealthy families were not simple-minded people. They knew that killing people deliberately was a crime, and no one would send themselves into the fire pit, so no one could eliminate the suspicion.

Edward listed the benefits and disadvantages again. The problem was that Nelissa was seriously injured or… dead. Who would benefit most from it? What kind of temptation or deep hatred must be killed? The more direct and simple ones were:

With Nelissa gone, who would be most at ease?

Edward was not sure if his thoughts were wrong. He felt that there were many interesting things. Some people pointed at Nelissa with malicious intentions. If they went straight to Nelissa, there might be more dangers in the future. The simple protection was not guaranteed enough, and it needed more protection.

The most important thing was to find out who pushed Nelissa out of the road.

That video…

It was nearly 12 o’clock in the morning.

Ning Ranqiu came to check the room again and changed Nelissa’s dressing. As she removed the gauze on Nelissa’s forehead, she asked Nelissa, “How do you feel after waking up?”

Nelissa answered honestly, “It hurts.”

Ning Ranqiu nodded and said, “It will definitely hurt. You lost a lot of blood when you were sent to the hospital, but fortunately, you didn’t hurt your bones and muscles. You should have avoided it when the car accident happened, right?”

Nelissa didn’t remember the details. At that time, she was really afraid that her brain was in a dead state. Many aspects were the instinct of human survival, but the driver must have avoided it.

Ning Ranqiu applied medicine to Nelissa’s wound, which hurt a lot. Nelissa was gasping for breath. If Edward was by her side, maybe she would cry again. In front of him, she didn’t need to be strong. As for others, she had to pretend to be strong no matter what. It would be shameful for her to cry like this.

While talking to Nelissa, Ning Ranqiu distracted her attention and asked her, “You still have a slight concussion. When you wake up, will there be a moment when your memory is short and blank?”

Nelissa blinked and said, “No.” She suddenly remembered that she hadn’t taken a look in the mirror since she woke up. The wounds on her body had been bandaged, so she couldn’t see how deep they were. She was a little scared. “Doctor, am I disfigured?”

Ning Ranqiu smiled and said, “No, you are beautiful.”

Nelissa suddenly felt more uneasy. There was still a faint smell of blood on her body. Her body had not been cleaned, and her hair was a little sticky. How could she look like this? It was obvious that she was comforting her.

She was a little frustrated and even numb from the pain.

After Ning Ranqiu changed the medicine for Nelissa, she looked at Nelissa and found that she was very weak. Nelissa’s young teeth were small. If Ning Ranqiu hadn’t seen her ID card, she would have thought that she was younger. She felt a little sorry for the girl and said, “If you really hurt so much that you can’t stand it, I can apply for an anesthetic for you. Are you sure you need it?”

Nelissa asked, “Does it not hurt anymore?”

Ning Ranqiu said, “I’ve always wanted to sleep. It will take some time for me to recover after the effect of the medicine is over tomorrow morning.”

Nelissa thought about it seriously and shook her head. “I still don’t need it.” She would rather bear the pain, but she was reluctant to close her eyes. She still wanted to see Edward and say a few more words to him. If she slept like that, she would have nightmares, but she couldn’t wake up, which was more painful.

Ning Ranqiu nodded and said, “Okay. If you feel uncomfortable, press the bell immediately. I will come in. I will be on the night shift tonight.” She told Nelissa not to think too much. After all, female doctors were more careful than male doctors.

After Ning Ranqiu went out of the ward, not long after, Edward also came out of the shower. He took off his mature suit and wore a T-shirt with a short T-shirt and a pair of grey trousers. His hair was dripping with water. The broken hair on his forehead made his whole body look much softer. He used the hair gel to straighten his hair, which was very domineering.

It was a man who was quite charming.

Edward picked up his phone and looked at it. Suddenly, he heard Nelissa say pitifully to him, “Honey, it’s over. I’m disfigured.”

“What?” Edward looked away from the phone and turned his eyes to Nelissa’s face. He walked over, touched her face with his finger and tapped on the tip of her nose. He said in a gentle voice, “Who said you were disfigured? What are you thinking in your head?”

Nelissa ignored him. The better he looked at her, the more depressed she felt. “Find me a mirror. I can’t see my face.”

It was impossible for Edward to have a mirror on him. He had no habit of dressing up. He took out his phone and turned it into a camera in front of him, letting Nelissa use it as a mirror. He held it in his hand and said, “Look.”

Nelissa stared at the phone for a long time and squeezed out two words with difficulty. “So ugly.” She pushed the phone open and didn’t want to look at it anymore. Her red and swollen eyes were full of tears and she sniffed.

“How can I be ugly?” Edward’s noble hand gently pinched Nelissa’s small chin. Nelissa didn’t want him to look at her, so he was a little unhappy. “If I wash my face, I’ll be as ugly as before. I’m not ugly.”

Nelissa couldn’t agree with him. “There’s something wrong with your eyes.” Then she nervously pulled the corner of his clothes and asked, “Honey, do you think I’ll leave a scar?”

Edward had seen the wound on Nelissa’s forehead. It was very deep. Usually, people could not see it with bangs covering it, but she would see it often. He sat down beside her bed and comforted her in a soft tone, “The beauty salon is so good now. After you recover, you can recover after doing several beauty care.”

Nelissa was unwilling and said gloomily, “I don’t want plastic surgery.” She felt that she was good-looking. There were many after-effects in the plastic surgery. When she got older, her face would collapse and she would become an old monster. She didn’t want an awl-like face.
