Chapter 239
Nelissa raised her head slightly to look at Edward’er. Just now, she was still crying from the pain. Now that she was in pain, she suddenly wanted to laugh. Her mood changed quickly. “I think your situation is worse than mine. Have you ever eaten?”
Edward said, “I’ve eaten it.”
Nelissa looked at him and didn’t believe it. “You’re lying.”
It was impossible for Edward to be in the mood to eat again. She knew that he didn’t eat anything. She leaned on his broad shoulders and felt a little distressed. “Have you been guarding me?”
“Yes.” Edward nodded and admitted it. To put it bluntly, he had been staring at time for the whole day, torturing himself every second. Except for Nelissa, he forced himself to calm down and complete everything else. The last line of defense in his heart: as long as Nelissa woke up.
As long as she woke up, he could be fine and nothing would happen.
But if Nelissa really couldn’t wake up, he wouldn’t have the energy to think about the consequences. Maybe he would collapse, maybe even worse, but it definitely wouldn’t be good.
Nelissa was still worried. She touched the diamond watch on his wrist and persuaded him, “Why don’t you eat something first?”
Edward said decisively, “I’m not hungry.”
Nelissa hated him so much that she didn’t take care of her own body. “What if you fall ill and fall ill? I’m still counting on you to take care of me in my current state. You’re not allowed to spoil yourself. Hurry up and eat.”
Edward looked down at Nelissa. Her face was still pale, and the corners of her eyes were pink, which was the mark of a crying scene. She felt even more pity for her in her heart. He reached out and slowly pulled her hair behind her ear, saying, “I want to accompany you to drive me out?”
Nelissa lowered her little face slightly. “I feel sorry for you.”
“What a good girl.” Edward held up her warm face and couldn’t help but lower his head to kiss her. He kissed her between the eyebrows, the corners of her eyes, her cheeks, and her soft lips. He kissed her affectionately. He just wanted to take care of her. His body instinctively wanted to get close to the woman in front of him. He wanted to be good to her and love her.
Nelissa gently closed her eyes and felt Edward’s gentle and heartbreaking kiss.
In the past, when she read novels about the kiss of her beloved person, no matter how painful it was, it became slightly indescribable. She felt that love was not so great. When people should be in pain, they would still feel pain. Now she also felt pain, but a kind of touch in her heart made her feel less pain, and she was willing to bear it.
“I also feel sorry for you.” The man sighed in a low voice between his warm thin lips.
Nelissa wanted to cry again.
She loved to cry. When she gave birth to Noelle for Nathan, she often cried alone. Noelle would throw up if she refused to eat milk for Nathan. She cried. Once when they had a fever in the middle of the night, she cried helplessly in the hospital for a long time. Later, when they grew up, they would walk by themselves and call her mother. Only then did she become strong.
Now, by Edward’s side, she could be a little weak and rely on him with ease.
It was a good feeling to have a man who loved and loved her. Besides, this man was her husband, so he was even more unscrupulous.
Her warm, thin lips left her skin.
Nelissa slowly opened her eyes. What she saw was Edward’s deep-set male face. He was looking at her. Under the dim light in the ward, he looked extremely affectionate. His eyes were full of repressed and strong emotions, which made him look more gloomy and more handsome than usual.
The most attractive thing was that the depths of his eyes were filled with her and nothing else.
Nelissa’s heart was beating wildly, and she was obsessed with this man’s breath. “Well…” She didn’t know what she wanted to say, but her heart beat faster and she lost her mind. “It’s called takeout.”
Edward raised his eyebrows. “Nelissa, I’m not in the mood to eat.”
Nelissa responded with a little “yes”, as if she was still muttering something. Edward heard it clearly, but he just smiled faintly. The big hand that was touching her head paused slightly, and he didn’t dare to exert his strength.
Nelissa lowered her head and asked, “How did you end up like this?” She touched his wrinkled white shirt and asked. She didn’t have much strength, so she couldn’t even make a big movement. In addition to pain, she was in good spirits. She looked at Edward’s naked body. She didn’t look so embarrassed when he was sick. There were dark circles under her eyes, which made her look extremely tired.
Her heart ached again.
Edward’s long and slender hand slipped into his short hair. He caressed the broken bits and pieces of his hair and said, “I couldn’t get in touch with you at noon, so I went to see you. Later, there was a traffic jam on the road, so I had to run there. When I got there, you were sent to the hospital by an ambulance. The road there was blocked. I couldn’t stop the car, so I went to the hospital again. It seemed that my coat was left on the road.”
Nelissa heaved a deep sigh. This sigh tugged at the skin on her chest again, causing her eyes to turn red from the pain. Edward’er pressed her finger against the corner of her eye as if she didn’t want her to cry again.
Nelissa took a slight breath and eased the pain in her chest. Then she said, “Go take a shower.” Afraid that he would stubbornly refuse, she emphasized, “You can’t do this. It’s too dirty. Don’t touch me if you don’t wash yourself clean.”
Just as Edward was about to speak, someone knocked on the door of the ward. Nelissa didn’t know who it was. Edward gently helped her back to the bed, then got up and went to open the door.
It was his assistant, Andrew, who brought him clothes. He glanced into the ward in a hurry and saw that the woman lying on the bed was Nelissa. Before he came in, he asked the female nurse who was on duty. The patient in this ward was sent to the emergency room in a car accident.
No wonder Young Mr. Hales would abandon all the work in the group. It turned out that something had happened to Nelissa.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Edward was outside the ward and told Andrew something. He just didn’t want to disturb him with any work in the past few days. Whoever came to find him, remember it first. He would deal with it together when he came back. Before that, don’t let anyone know that he was in the Jung Hospital.
After that, Edward looked in another direction. After a short second, he retracted his gaze and said, “It’s all right. You can go now.”
“Yes.” According to Andrew and Edward’s many years of working experience, Edward must have something to do just now. And at that second, he thought of a lot of things. But Edward didn’t ask him to do it, so he didn’t ask more. After sending the things, he left.
Just now, Edward was thinking about Anna. In fact, his wisest way of doing things was to contact her immediately after he called Anna at noon and intercept her with all kinds of high-speed trains in the Haleston City. There was a great chance that he would stop her and let her come back, but he missed the best time. At that time, he was exhausted to the extreme. He didn’t even know whether Nelissa would wake up or not. All the things that he had been obsessed with for a long time became no longer important at that moment.
If he couldn’t find Anna, he couldn’t care less about whether he could come back or not. The first person he had been waiting for in his heart at that time was Nelissa.
He wasn’t Anna after all, so he couldn’t give her the best answer.
