Chapter 233
“All right.” The friend seemed to have realized the seriousness of the matter. Otherwise, Edward would not have asked him for help so easily.
He and Edward could be considered old friends. When they first met, Edward had just graduated from the police school, and he had just graduated from the police school. His father had taught Edward before, so he wanted to compete with him. Although he was tortured every time, they did not know each other. However, this person was proud and arrogant, and he disdained to ask someone for help. This time, he was a little flattered.
He hung up the phone.
Edward arranged everything and rushed to the emergency room. The light of the operation was still on, and there was a sewing operation inside. Alex and Mr. Su were both there. Edward went over and asked them, “How is Nelissa?”
Alex shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. It’s a female doctor from the emergency department who has an operation. Only the people inside know the details.” He had only come over to take a look after seeing Nelissa’s name on the list of patients sent to the hospital.
Alex looked at Mr. Su. A few seconds later, he said, “Teacher, I have an operation 20 minutes later.”
Mr. Su had been absent-minded. After a while, he nodded and said, “You go first.”
Alex away.
Edward stood outside the operating room for a long time, sitting on the rest chairs on both sides of the corridor as if he was extremely tired. He opened his slender legs slightly and asked Mr. Su in a low voice, “How long will the operation last?”
Mr. Su replied, “It’s hard to say how long it will be. When I just arrived, she was not pushed into the operating room. Her wound was on her head and elbow, and she lost a lot of blood.”
As soon as Elder Su finished speaking, the young man sitting opposite him looked even worse.
Edward was very uncomfortable. He frowned and his eyes were full of pain. The feeling of collapse almost drove him crazy. He leaned against the back of the chair and lowered his head. His hands, which were hanging in the middle of his legs, gradually clenched his fists. He fell into silence and looked very depressed.
Mr. Su had always thought that Edward and Nelissa were not suitable for each other, so he didn’t think that Edward was sincere to Nelissa. Maybe Qi Chuying didn’t teach her a good daughter, so she let Nelissa follow her own footsteps. At the age of 23, there was a pair of four-year-old children, and they got pregnant before they got married, so they really didn’t have a good style.
But he had to admit that the pair of twins were really cute, and Nelissa’s character was not as bad as he imagined. Mr. Su looked at Edward again. Maybe he was old and couldn’t understand the bold and open behavior of the young man now. This man didn’t seem to be pretending to love Nelissa, but he was sincere.
Time passed slowly, and the operation was still going on. Someone’s cell phone rang, and the echo was particularly clear in the quiet and empty corridor.
No one answered the phone.
Edward stood still and allowed his phone to ring. He kept his head down, and no one could see the expression on his face. It was as if he didn’t hear it, or as if he was possessed.
Mr. Su looked at him a few times and reminded him, “Your cell phone is ringing.”
After a while, Edward made a slight movement. He slowly stood up and went to answer the phone. At that moment, Elder Su even saw a touch of blood in Edward’s eyes, which were obviously wet.
Mr. Su was slightly stunned. Even if he didn’t want to admit it, he realized that Edward should love Nelissa.
It was Andrew. Edward answered the phone in the smoking area, with a lit cigarette between his fingers. The faint smoke was smoking his eyes, which were getting redder.
Andrew asked carefully, “Young Mr. Hales, your car was dragged away in the Rong Group. Are you all right? What happened?”
Edward took a drag on his cigarette, his breath turbid. “Go fetch my car. There’s no need to report to me about the company’s matters for the time being. You take care of it first. I have some urgent matters to attend to.”
Andrew understood and said, “Okay, Mr. Hales. Don’t worry, leave it to me.” The meeting this afternoon was going to be canceled. Although he didn’t know what had happened, he didn’t dare to ask too much. He would do whatever the president asked him to do.
Hanging up the phone, Edward put out half of the cigarette and planned to go back. He didn’t want to waste too much time. At this time, the phone rang again. It was a strange number. It was 4:45 p. m.
Edward froze in an instant. His scarlet eyes stared at the screen of his phone with a deep gaze.
Edward picked up the phone with an unknown mentality. He knew very well that there would not be an unknown number on his phone, unless it was someone who knew his phone number.
“You didn’t come.” The woman’s disappointed voice came out. After so many years, people might change their appearance, but their voices were basically fixed after they grew up. It was difficult for them to change.
It was still that voice.
“Anna.” Edward looked as if he was sighing. He was indeed sighing. He had long forgotten that Anna had asked him to meet him. His heart was filled with warmth.
Anna said, “You broke your promise. I thought you had been looking for me, or you cared a little about me. Is there something more important than me, so you didn’t come?”
Edward didn’t deny it, but he didn’t admit it. He asked Anna, “Where are you now?”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Anna didn’t say anything. There was the sound of a car over there, either in the car or on the street. “If you didn’t come, I would have left. Are you going to inform Sean to come to me?”
Edward frowned and said, “Anna, you must come back. You can’t go on like this.”
But Anna asked him, “Are you still single?” He asked again, “Have you found Nelissa?”
When Edward was silent, Anna already knew the answer. She was laughing and laughing at herself. “I knew you would find her. You’ve been missing her for so many years. Although you promised to marry me at that time, you still have her in your heart. You said you would give up, but in fact, you never intended to give up. You just can’t find her, but when you find her, no one can persuade you to give up.”
Anna knew Edward too well. She even witnessed the whole process of how Edward could not forget Nelissa. She was in great pain. “You didn’t come today because of her?”
Edward admitted it decisively.
Anna felt that his tight nerves had been broken. She knew the answer clearly, but she still couldn’t help imagining it over the years. In the end, Edward was still very cruel to her, leaving no room for her to imagine. She smiled bitterly and said, “I knew it would be like this. I didn’t tell you who she was at that time, and I was quite wise. At least in this way, I could take over you for a few more years.”
Edward didn’t want to argue with Anna about the past, and he didn’t have the patience to recall the past with her. He asked her directly, “What do you think? Will you come back?”
Anna laughed and said in a joking tone, “If you marry me, I’ll come back.”
