Chapter 302
A knock on the door disturbed the intimate couple. Outside the door, Sonya’s housekeeper said that he had just woken up and wanted to see his daughter.
Hearing this, Nelissa responded and quickly got out of bed to tidy up her messy clothes. Edward’s original thought was also stopped. He turned his handsome face to look at Nelissa and said in a low voice, “Shall I go with you?”
His son-in-law, Edward, had never shown his face since he woke up.
Nelissa lowered her eyes and said nervously, “Forget it. She doesn’t know about us. I don’t dare to say anything…” The doctor reminded her that the patient was still very weak and could not be too emotional. She could not be stimulated.
Edward frowned and said nothing.
Nelissa knew that he was unhappy. During this period of time, he had done too many things for her. He never owed her and her mother anything, but she didn’t dare to mention him in front of her mother. She rubbed over, held his arm and said kindly, “Let’s wait a little longer. When my mother’s condition is stabilized, can you go to see her? Now she… her memory is a little messy.”
Edward lowered her head, her fair face in her eyes. “She still thinks that you’re with Zayden?”
Nelissa didn’t dare to say anything.
Edward said with a faint self-mockery, “Why do I look like my lover who has been raised by you?”
Nelissa couldn’t help laughing. “I can’t afford to raise you. You were the one who raised me.”
Edward immediately relaxed. He raised his slender hand and pinched her warm and fair face. He liked her very much. He liked to listen to whatever she said, as if he was possessed.
Nelissa knew that he was venting his anger. In fact, it was easy for this man to be soft-hearted to her. No matter how the outside world thought of his bad nature, such a bad man never really hurt her.
He was the most gentle man she had ever met.
“I’m leaving.” Nelissa stood on tiptoe, kissed the corner of Edward’s lips, and said gently.
Edward’s brows twitched slightly. His arm was tightly wrapped around Nelissa’s slender waist, refusing to let her go. In a low, hoarse voice, he said, “Nelissa, I think I’m better than Zayden.”
Nelissa was stunned and nodded in front of his chest. “Yes, you’re the best.”
Until she went up to see Sonya, Nelissa was still thinking about what Edward meant. He didn’t like to compare himself with others. He was so proud and arrogant, but did he have no confidence in her? Did he think that she was happy that Zayden was better than him in her heart?
Nelissa sighed softly and circled her long hair around her chest with her fingers. Hadn’t she given Edward a sense of security?
“Nelissa…” Sonya called Nelissa. She rarely spoke after waking up. Her voice was not flexible, and sometimes it was difficult to speak a complete sentence. Most of the time, Sonya was in a state of sleep. When she woke up, she just wanted to see her daughter Nelissa. Listening to Nelissa’s words, she soon fell asleep.
Most of them were talking about Nelissa and Sonya.
But this time, Qi Jiying wanted to ask, “What about Zayden?”
Nelissa didn’t know what to say. Sonya’s memory stopped on the day of the car accident many years ago. After waking up, she always thought that her daughter and Zayden were in love. At least, her daughter was happy. But the truth was very cruel. After many years of separation, everything had changed. Zayden had changed, and so had Nelissa. The Quest family, which used to be happy, had also been destroyed.
Only Qi Jiying was still immersed in the beautiful memories of the past.
Nelissa held back her sadness and asked her mother, “Didn’t you always disagree with me being with Zayden?”
Qi Jiying nodded slightly. The strong woman, who used to be in her prime, was now much older. After a long time, she organized her words and said slowly, “Yes, but who let you like each other so much? I wanted to be a bad person, but I knew that I wouldn’t be able to be a good person for a long time. You are my only daughter. I will compromise with you sooner or later.”
“Zayden and Zayden were brought home by me. Maybe I created your marriage by myself.”
Qi Jiying believed in karma. She and Nelissa’s father were together because of fate. Unfortunately, the final ending was not happiness. Qi Jiying had suffered a lot. She had always been afraid that Nelissa would not be happy and suffer. She secretly protected Nelissa and felt that Le Qi was not worthy of her Nelissa.
But now it seemed that she was wrong and lived a good life.
“Zayden is very good. You can be together.” Sonya said this sentence intermittently. It had taken her a lot of effort, so she didn’t notice Nelissa’s red eyes.
It was always fate that made fun of people. If it weren’t for Qi Jiying’s obstruction, Zayden wouldn’t have betrayed Nelissa for his ambition. The originally simple love was involved in too many plots and plots, and finally, it couldn’t bear it and was completely destroyed. If everything was back, without Qi Jiying’s stop, Zayden would only stay with Nelissa to protect her and give up his ambition. If he was willing to be simple, would he be able to live a happy life?
She didn’t know, but Nelissa didn’t think about it. She kept silent and didn’t respond to Sonya’s words.
She knew that she would no longer be with Zayden. They were never good people.
Sometimes, she had to admit that a person with too much fate would exhaust all the luck she had in love with. She and Zayden had met too early. In such a young and immature age, she had fallen in love with someone. She didn’t even have the perseverance and courage to hold on tightly to happiness.
Failure was a given.
Nelissa was already relieved. She didn’t dare to tell Sonya because she was afraid that Sonya wouldn’t accept what she had experienced over the years.
Time passed. When Edward left, he called Nelissa to report. Nelissa picked up his call in front of Sonya. She was under a lot of pressure and didn’t say much. She just asked him to drive carefully. In fact, she wanted him to come back early tonight, but she didn’t dare to say it. She was afraid that Sonya would find it too ambiguous.
Hanging up the phone, she looked at Sonya nervously.
Sonya’s mind was a little slow now. After a long while, she asked, “Zayden, don’t you want to come?”
Until now, Zayden had never appeared. In the past, wherever there was Nelissa, there would be a figure of Zayden. Sonya felt strange, but she didn’t think too much.
Nelissa could only say, “He’s busy.”
Sonya nodded and was a little tired. She slowly closed her eyes and soon fell asleep. Nelissa stayed for a while before leaving. When she went out, a man in a suit was looking for her. He held a briefcase in his hand and looked like an elite in society. “Hello, Miss Nelissa. I am the assistant of Mr. Zayden. Mr. Lowe asked me to give this to you.”
The assistant handed over a file bag.
Nelissa took it in confusion. She frowned and asked, “What’s that?”
The assistant smiled and said, “I don’t know. I have something to do, so I have to go first.”
After the assistant left, Nelissa returned to her own ward and opened the file bag. Inside it was a share and a property transfer certificate. It belonged to Zayden, and it also belonged to the former Quest family…
