Chapter 107: The Benefits of Saving Alice
Alice still dreams about her desperate love over and over again. No matter where her love begins, she can't get through those two obstacles, Joanna and Janet. Her and Edward' love eventually ends with hurting each other or die together.
Today, in her dream, she kills Edward in despair again, and then she kills herself.
In her dream, Joanna hands the confession letter which is signed with her name to Edward. After reading it, Edward looks at her in disbelief and asks her why.
He doesn't believe in her. He would rather believe in Joanna than in her. Yeah. He has an engagement with Joanna, and even they have a child. He shouldn't believe in her. She doesn't love him anymore. But why does she still feel so hurt? She feels lonely, incomparable lonely. It seems that only dying with Edward together can make up for this loneliness.
The reason why love hurts people deeply is its unpredictability. Edward doesn't believe her, and she doesn't believe that Edward will support her unconditionally. People who have experienced a betrayal will be even more afraid of a second betrayal. She looks at herself blankly. She watches the knife in her own hand passing through Edward's heart. She feels extremely hurt.
"Edward, don't!"
In her dream, she can't stop herself. Alice wakes up from the nightmare in a sweat. When Alice opens her eyes, she sees Edward's worried expression. "Edward, it's not me. It's not me."
After Alice wakes up, she sees Edward. Suddenly, she throws herself into Edward's arms and cries loudly. Edward is stunned. He doesn't know whether he should be pleased that it is her first time to take initiative to get close to him after they met again, or he should feel sorry for the frights she has suffered these days.
"Edward, it's not me. It's not me."
Alice's mind seems to be in mess. She says this sentence over and over again. Edward feels so distressed that he could only reply to her over and over again.
"I know. I know."
Alice is frightened by her own dreams. She has been frightened for these days, as if all her worries and fears burst out at this moment. It's already an hour later after she completely calms down.
Edward feels very distressed, but he doesn't know how to comfort Alice, so he has to kiss the corner of Alice's crying eyes again and again. He hopes that he can use his affectionate kisses to slowly make Alice soothe.
"Edward, I didn't hit Jacquiline. I didn't hit her. Joanna forced me to sign the confession. I didn't hit her."
Alice tightly grabs the corner of Edward's clothes, with tears in her eyes.
Edward can't say any refusing words to this kind of Alice. At this moment, Alice is like her in high school who stubbornly pulled him and didn't want him to fight with others.
Edward sighs. He loves this girl. No matter what she does, he will still love her.
"I know. I know. Don't cry. You need to rest. We can talk about it after you get better."
After saying that, he kisses her forehead lightly. His gentleness and tenderness are that Alice once liked. He has never forgotten it over the years.
Since learning the news that Alice was framed and imprisoned, Edward has been looking for Alice. Yesterday, he took care of Alice all night.
At this time, he should be exhausted, but Alice is like his stimulant, which can make him never tired.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
"Go to sleep. Rest for a while!"
Alice is already weak. What's more, she cries for a long time, so she falls asleep soon. Edward sniffs Alice's hair, and gradually falls into sleep too. They all enjoy the time right now.
It's already dark when Edward wakes up. Edward looks at Alice, who is still sleeping in his arms. He leaves the bedroom quietly.
At present, what Alice needs most is to recuperate and replenish nutrition. Such a thin Alice makes him very sad.
What he needs to do now is to find out the real culprit. He wants to see who is so bold to frame his woman and who made Alice suffer a lot. Huh, that person has better pray not to let Edward find out him, otherwise Edward will get revenge. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
"Go and find information about the case."
It is the matter of the Smith family. Besides, it just happened not long ago. The video of the scene of the car accident is sent to Edward soon.
When Alice wakes up, she doesn't see anyone around. She feels pain all over her body. As soon she moves, it will make her feel painful. She is groaning.
The door of the room is not closed. The opposite of the room is the study room where Edward usually works. As soon as Alice makes a sound, Edward knows that she is awake, so he strides over without checking any information.
He bends down to put his forehead against Alice's forehead. He feels her temperature. Luckily, the fever has gone.
"What do you want to eat? I asked nanny to make some porridge. You just have your fever gone and you are still weak. Have some porridge first."
Alice nods, only feeling that her throat is dry and hoarse. Before she says anything, Edward hands over a glass of water to her.
Edward bows his head down. He carefully feeds a cup of warm water to Alice. Edward's assistant stands beside them silently with the porridge in his hands. Is this gentle and affectionate person really his cold president? That is the power of love!
Edward soon takes over the porridge, and then carefully feeds Alice.
Both of Alice's arms have scars. The delicate and smooth hands that once held the scalpel have several layers of calluses on it now. There are even blisters on a few fingers.
Soon, a bowl of porridge is finished. Alice is very hungry. She eats fast. After finishing one bowl of porridge, she blushed a little because she still wants more.
After Alice says she wants another bowl of porridge, Edward actually laughs.
"More? No. You made yourself so terrible when I was away. I punish you not to have porridge!"
Edward says seriously, so Alice actually believes in him for a while.
Alice doesn't know what to say. She really wants to have another bowl of porridge! Is she really going to beg him for the bowl of porridge?
While Alice is thinking about it, Edward keeps staring at Alice's expression. He sees Alice shaking her head awkwardly, then she shows a cute expression and hugs his arm.
"Edward, please. Just one more. I'm so hungry..." Alice acts like a spoiled child now. She just wants to have another bowl of porridge.
It's just that at this moment, Alice doesn't think about why she suddenly relies on Edward so much.
Perhaps it is because he saved her, or perhaps her inner world longs for him so much. In past suffering days, she has missed him the most... So after she was saved, she is desperately longing for his love, because she doesn't know how the love will last...0000
