Chapter 252
Nelissa leaned lazily against the back of the bed. She didn’t know if she had gotten used to the pain or if she had relaxed a little. She felt much better than last night, but she felt weak all over and her bones were as soft as cotton.
Edward stuffed two pieces of medicine into her palm for her to eat. With bitter medicine in her mouth, she frowned slightly. He brought the cup to her mouth and quickly drank a big mouthful of water to get the medicine out of her mouth. Fortunately, the water temperature was just right, so it was not too hot.
Edward put down the cup and put a package box in Nelissa’s hand. “I bought you a mobile phone. Take it and play with it first. Your mobile phone card is broken. I’ll buy you another one another day.” He sat down beside her, with his big hand on the back of Nelissa’s white hand, and touched it intimately. “Do you want to talk to Noelle on the phone for Nathan at night?”
Of course, Nelissa was thinking about it. She opened her phone and looked at Edward seriously. “What should I say?”
Edward said casually, “Just say whatever you want to say. Don’t let them know that you’re in the hospital.”
Nelissa whispered, “It’s a little difficult.”
Edward looked down at Nelissa and lifted her chin with a slender finger. He raised his eyebrows at her and said, “You always coaxed me to do anything for you. Now you coax two four-year-old kids. Don’t you know how to do it?”
Nelissa blushed and thought, “How can I coax him? What she usually says to him is true.” Then she retorted in a low voice, “Noelle is so smart in Nathan. I may cry because of them.” In front of her family, she had always been very useless.
“You…” Edward’s relaxed eyebrows seemed to be enduring. She seemed to have no way to deal with her, but at the same time, she seemed to be amused. She pointed at her with her slender index finger and said, “You are very good.”
Nelissa immediately burst into laughter, feeling that every move of this man was particularly meaningful. She whispered, “I’m showing my true feelings.”
Edward nodded and said, “I’ll think about it.”
Nelissa was stunned and looked up at him. “You won’t let me call you?”
Edward said calmly, “If you want to cry, you can’t.” He then teased her. “If you cry, Noelle will also cry in Nathan. At that time, both sides will coax me. You want me to die of exhaustion, don’t you?”
Nelissa felt that this man was too annoying, so she didn’t pity him at all. “How can you be like this? I won’t cry, okay?”
Edward picked up the pen and flashlight, pressed the keyboard, and glanced at her warm eyes. His thin lips curved into a smile. “Your promise can’t be trusted.” He then said ambiguously, “You love crying too much. When you recover, you should cry on the bed for me. You can do whatever you want.”
Nelissa’s face turned red, and she couldn’t say a word with her trembling lips. She hated him!
She was already like this, yet he still didn’t forget to flirt with her. It was too bad.
“Let me show you a photo.” Edward turned the pen to Nelissa.
Nelissa was still a little angry with him. She turned her face away and didn’t want to look at him, but then she felt that she was very childish. She glanced at him and frowned. There were two women in the photo, one of whom she knew was Sophie. The woman beside Sophie looked like a beautiful noble woman in the upper class, very much like her…
Edward asked directly, “The woman who asked you to go yesterday morning was her, wasn’t she?”
Nelissa nodded. “I think so.”
Edward talked to Nelissa about Chen Li and told her everything he had done at noon. He would not hide it from her. Nelissa asked him, “Who is Chen Li?”
Edward told her, “She’s Sophie’s mother.”
Nelissa was shocked and stunned. “Why is she spying on you outside your house?” Then, she reacted and looked at Edward and asked, “Sophie still wants to…”
Edward nodded and admitted to Nelissa, “Yes. She thought that she and I still had a chance to reconcile. At that time, I made the suggestion of breaking up. Sophie didn’t agree. I talked to her several times, but she still didn’t agree. Later, she had been looking for opportunities to contact my family and wanted to put pressure on me.”
Edward’s eyes gradually darkened. He held Nelissa’s little hand with his big slender hand and played with it carefully. “But she has left Haleston City now. When she comes back, everything will be too late.”
Thinking of the reason why Sophie left Haleston City in a hurry, it seemed that Ryan wanted to identify the DNA with Sophie, so she hid for no reason. Were the two really not father and daughter? If it was true, it was too much…
Nelissa looked sideways at Edward and rolled her eyes. “Did he do it?”
Edward told Nelissa that although Sophie was not in Haleston City now, Chen Li already knew her. As soon as the mother and daughter got to know each other, they probably knew the relationship between Nelissa and him. He asked Nelissa to be more vigilant in the future, and he would arrange for someone to protect her and Noelle for Nathan.
In addition, Edward planned to wait for Noelle to enter primary school Nathan later before studying in a private school. The important primary school outside was no worse than a private school.
Hearing this, Nelissa couldn’t help but sigh. She didn’t like Sophie, and now she knew that Chen Li was her mother. Yesterday, Chen Li had an ulterior motive to talk to her. She felt a chill in her heart. The mother and daughter pair were so excellent.
What was even more amazing was that Nelissa had heard from Edward that Chen Li and Ryan had never gotten a marriage certificate, and they were still a b*tches, so they had never been recognized. Chen Li had thought that her daughter, Sophie, could tie Edward up, and she had a powerful son-in-law as her backer, so it was natural for her to get a marriage certificate with Ryan.
But now, the marriage was over.
Naturally, Nelissa became a thorn in the side of Sophie and Chen Li.
If Nelissa knew that she had become the little vixen mentioned by Sophie and Chen Li, she wouldn’t know whether to laugh or cry. After all, many women couldn’t be as beautiful as a vixen in their entire lives.
At the evening news time.
In the TV station of Haleston City, there was a video of a vicious hurt incident. From the video, it could be seen that a man deliberately pushed an unprepared woman to the road where cars came and went and had a traffic accident. Later, the man quickly got on a motorcycle to escape from the scene.
In order to protect the female injured woman’s privacy, the TV station had already dealt with the video vaguely and did not expose the female injured woman’s face.
The police had already been involved in the investigation of this vicious case, and someone had offered a lot of money as a reward. If there were passers-by who were present at that time and where the motorcycle that had escaped went, or provided powerful clues, they would be rewarded with 500, 000 yuan.
As soon as the news came out, many official posts were posted on the official forum of the TV station. Most of them went to offer a reward of 500, 000 yuan. Some people analyzed that the injured woman might be the daughter of a rich family in the city. This time, she might have been revenged by her enemy and was deliberately murdered. Some people claimed that they were also at the scene at that time, witnessed everything, and even saw which direction the motorcycle was driving in.
In short, this huge stone had been thrown down and disturbed a pool of fish, waiting to see who could not wait to show his tail.
