Chapter 160: It’s Better If We Don’t Meet Each Other
The butler said that Alice followed Janet to the hospital herself. She didn't even retort when Janet said that she wanted to abort the baby herself. What's more, she didn't explain anything to him. "Next, number 65, Alice." A clear voice suddenly broke the silence between them.
The nurse called the name again when no one responded and went off calling other patients at the end.
Everything stayed the same, but they were all feeling different inside.
Lowering her head, Alice stared at the ultrasound image that she was holding tightly.
Alice's behavior made Edward feel like that a string in his head suddenly snapped.
There were doctors, nurses and pregnant women who were traveling back and forth in the hallway.
Clutching at Alice's wrist, Edward dragged her away in a strength that won't hurt her.
Janet didn't follow along because she knew that Edward would see Alice's true colors one day. What's more, the trust bond between them was so fragile now.
Seeing that Edward was still taking care of her even when he's so pissed off, Alice was feeling weird inside.
Edward didn't go back home for several days after he brought Alice home. He didn't know what he should do and was afraid that he might do something terrible to her. So it's better that they didn't see each other.
Alice was under watch 24/7 by several bodyguards sent by Edward. She wasn't allowed to go anywhere.
Alice was actually feeling an unprecedented calm inside these days.
Janet's existence was constantly reminding her that she was in a bad place.
Stuck between Janet and Edward, Alice knew that she can't stay calm any more.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Edward had a limit on Alice's TV time every day which was recommended by doctors.
Well, actually, Edward arranged everything for Alice, but he never showed up.
"President Edward of SA Group met gorgeous Doctor Nivea in secret. They could be dating!" Alice was agitated at the host's over-the-top voice and dry acting. The image was blurry, but Alice can easily recognize that it was Edward.
Alice was feeling odd inside and stared at the TV blankly.
"Miss Roberts, TV time is up!" Hearing butler's words, Alice turned off the TV silently.
She knew Nivea long before, but she was still anxious.
Edward has always been the one who was making all the efforts in this relationship since they met again.
Edward was also the one who dealt with Joanna and John before.
He was actually compromising the whole time. But now, Nivea was back.
Edward met Nivea in America and unlike Joanna's crafty, she was straightforward and generous.
Sometimes, Alice felt like she would definitely fall for a girl like Nivea if she were a guy.
If Alice were to give up Edward one day, she would still give her blessing should he and Nivea end up together.
Alice was even more anxious now because she felt threated by Nivea.
She loathed Joanna before, but now she even admired Nivea.
All of a sudden, she wanted to see Edward!
They had to talk with each other one day. Was he going to give up her?
She should've believed Edward. But he never showed up. What's more, Janet was pressuring constantly. For Janet, anyone can be her daughter-in-law except Alice. Bodyguards and the butler was ordered that they must follow Alice 24/7 and can't let anything bad happen to Alice and the baby, so Alice was pretty boring every day. The most important thing was that she should talk to Edward.
What happened at the hospital that day was just a misunderstanding. She can't protect her mother, but maybe Edward can do that. Why don't give him a chance? Though Janet was trying to let her abort the baby and using Susie as leverage, did she really want to do that herself?
Alice didn't know the answer.
Recalling Edward's face when he left, Alice was heartbroken. How can a strong man like him have such a delicate expression!
She had to explain the whole thing even for the sake of Edward. She had to tell him that she was not the one who wanted to abort the baby. They should be expecting this baby together. Edward was drinking bottle after bottle when Shane found him.
Shane knew that Edward had a great drinking capacity, but he figured that it can't be good that he was treating it like water.
He knew that Edward was upset with Alice when he drank before.
But now they were living together and had two cute little babies, so why was he drinking now?
"I heard that she was pregnant, right? What are you doing here? Why don't you go home to accompany her?" Rubbing his temple, Shane grabbled the wine bottle from Edward and asked. Hearing Shane's question, Edward let out a wry smile.00000
