Endless Adoration

Chapter 26 The Truth Behind It

Harrison Bai's mind was in a mess. When he heard the words of "Alice Gu" mentioned by Melissa Leng

again, he fell silent. The girl who always had a faint smile appeared in front of imr again, she was so

gentle and quiet. He hadn't heard her name for a long time, neither had he had a dream about her.

"Alright, I'll help you."

As she expected, Melissa drew him close, but she was not happy. "It has been 5 years now. You still

couldn't forget her, right?"

"You know Elliot Mo is investigating the case of Sherri Leng right?" Not willing to talk more nonsense,

she said directly.

"Okay, let's get to the point. I'm not afraid to tell you that it was my sister, Michelle Leng, and the eldest

daughter of the Su family, Janine Su, who did it."

He knew it.

Someone doped Sherri and wanted to carry out sexual misconduct. Fortunately, her husband, Elliot,

and the police came to stop this from happening in time, but Elliot did not let it go. He believed that

there must be a bigger manipulator behind it, so he sent people to investigate in detail.

"Why did you tell me that?"

"It's true that my sister and Miss Su are somewhat possessed by such a thing, but that's the

punishment that should be given to Sherri. You know that." After a pause, Melissa continued, "the real

cause of sister Alice's death is Sherri."

"You are talking about two different things."

"Both you and I don't want her to live a better life. Why are there two things? Harrison, my brother, I

came to you because I had hoped that you would help my sister and Janine get rid of their suspicion. "

"Do you think that I have the ability to stop Elliot?" "Besides, I'm the only child in my family. I don't have

any sisters. You don't have the right to call me a brother, Miss Leng."

Melissa bit her lips and said unwillingly, "we can't stop Elliot from investigating us, but nothing is

impossible as long as we have the money! I've found a scapegoat to take the blame for my sister and

Janine, so... With lawyer Bai's eloquence, even if Elliot suspected, I think you can solve it. "

To be honest, he hated Miss Leng who was sitting in front of him. He even felt that it was a waste of

time to come here today.

Noticing the impatience on his face, Melissa persuaded, "Mr. Bai! Don't you want to start a revenge on

Sherri for Alice? If it weren't for the interference of Sherri, sister Alice's illness wouldn't have been

delayed! Maybe Alice would still be alive. What she has is not an incurable disease at all. Sherri lied to

you just to escape from the blame! "

Melissa reminded him again of the time they spent together 5 years ago.

The three of them, him, Sherri and Alice, grew up together. They seemed to stick around all the time,

like the strongest triangle that cannot be broken. Then they went to the school together and played

together.

If you see Sherri, you will definitely see Harrison and Alice somewhere nearby.

Not long after, as time went by, Harrison became more and more affectionate to Alice, and Sherri

became their matchmaker.

The three of them had once imagined their future under the vast starry sky. "I will marry Harrison in the

future. Sherri, you must be my Bridesmaid!"

Alice looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, as if there was also a starry sky in her eyes.

"Of course, I will definitely go to your wedding!"

"Although we are so familiar with each other, but there's no way that you are going to give us only a

little red packet!"

At that time, Harrison was a playful and carefree young man, totally different from his mature

appearance 5 years later.

Alice's favorite thing was to bask in the sun in the winter. She lay on Harrison's legs like a kitten,

squinting her eyes leisurely. She placed her headphones on in one ear to listen to the melodious music,

and the other in Harrison's ear.

Touching Alice's long soft hair, he felt that this little girl was just his entire world while she lay on his

legs.

"Ahem..." Alice took out a handkerchief from her pocket, covered her mouth and coughed.

"You caught a cold? Let's go inside. " Feeling sorry for her, Harrison gently stroked Alice's back.

"No worries." Alice smiled.

Her smile was the most infectious and reassuring, like a spring breeze skimming over the water,

leaving ripples in his heart.

"I'll bask in the sun for a little longer. Are you trying to find an excuse for me?"

"Of course not!" Since Alice said so, there was no reason to stop her.

"How could it be? If you want to lie here for the rest of your life, I'll willingly let you do that. " Thought

Harrison.

Seeing that Alice had found a comfortable place and squinted again, he felt infinite tenderness in his

heart.

Alice would tell everything to him except her illness.

"Sherri, you are the only one who knows this except from my parents. Please don't tell him, okay?"

Holding her hands, Alice opened her eyes widely and looked pitiful at Sherri.

"If I hadn't found this, would you have hidden it from me?"

With a bloody handkerchief in her hand, Sherri was not paying attention to what she just said anymore.

Yes, it was Alice's handkerchief with a little blood on it.

"You guys are my best friends. I just don't want you to worry about it." With her head down, Alice

looked like a child who had done something wrong and had been found out.

"Alice," finally, Sherri slowed down her tone. "As we said, we share weal and woe together. You don't

treat me as your best friend by hiding it from me. Tell me how sick you are?"

"It's just a minor illness. Don't bother."

"You are looking around, that's how you lie. You don't dare to look into others' eyes. I know you the best

except for Harrison, Alice. If you have only caught a slight illness, will you hide it from us? You

coughing up blood? "

Alice couldn't help but started crying, with her hands covering her face and sobbing in a low voice.

Feeling that her attitude was too tough just now, Sherri softened her heart. She placed her arm around NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Alice's shoulder and comforted her softly, "if you are sick, we can go to the hospital together. The

medical treatment now is so advanced, there is nothing that can't be cured."

"Sherri," said Alice in a sobbing tone, raising her head, "it can't be cured. I have got a lung cancer, and

it's already in the late stage."

With Sherri's eyes wide open, she looked towards Alice. She didn't believe that how could a person

suddenly have a lung cancer, and it was at the later period.

She always knew that Alice often coughed, and she had explained that she was allergic to dust. How

could it be a pneumonia!

"No, it can't be. There must be something wrong with the examination. Let's go to have another

examination. Don't cry, Alice."

Looking at the flustered and wrong look on Sherri's face, Alice felt even sadder. "Don't waste your

energy. The doctor said that I still have 3 months. I still have a lot of wishes to fulfill. I really want to

marry Harrison and give him a baby."

Alice smiled bitterly. There were only three months left. She had never thought that one day she would

be so close to death.

"You should tell him."

"No, no! I don't want him to know that. He must be sadder than me, I won;t be able to look into his face

that sad. Sherri, can you help me to hide it from him? " Alice pleaded.

"How long can you hide it like this? He will know it sooner or later! "

"Just as long as it can be," said Alice, stopping her cry. She smiled slightly, as if the epiphyllum

bloomed at midnight. "I hope that Harrison will always be happy. After I die, promise me that you will

help me find a girl to introduce to him and let him forget me."

In this way, he could always see the perfect smile on Alice's face, which was as elegant as the white

orchid.

"You look so beautiful when you smile, Alice."

"Really? Then I will always smile at you. "

Later, as far as he could remember, it was because of the wrong medicine that Sherri had picked up

which made Alice's condition worsen and she died after the rescue failed. But strangely, her parents

didn't blame her at all.

On one side was his beloved woman, and on the other side was his childhood playmate. In a dilemma,

he didn't really hate her until she told him secretly that she made the wrong medicine on purpose.

Sherri was still as cold as before, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

Harrison couldn't hate Sherri from the bottom of his heart. Now all his hatred for her seemed to be

floating on the surface.

The death of Alice was a big blow to Harrison.

Harrison had no choice but to transfer a trace of hatred to Sherri. "What do you mean by making a

mistake on purpose? When Alice was alive, she treated you as her best friend."

Thinking of the past, Harrison began to feel painful again. "Sherri, what has happened to you? Why did

you treat her like this?"

Harrison was trapped in a battle between heaven and earth.

On one hand, he thought that there was no reason for Sherri to do so, and on the other hand, she

admitted that she had really hurt Alice.

Not only did Harrison hate Sherri, but also he wanted to seduce her.

Standing aside, Melissa had been observing Harrison's expression. Seeing that things were going in a

direction that she didn't know, she hurriedly showed her trump card. "As long as you help me and my

sister this time, not only the Leng family will support you, but also the Su family will owe you a favor!"

Harrison hesitated for a moment.

"Harrison, there is nothing to hesitate about. There is only one daughter in the Su family, and she will

help you this time."

Harrison compromised.

After the compromise, Harrison sat on the office chair weakly. Knowing that things had been done,

Melissa left in a hurry.

"If Elliot knows that he has met with Harrison, he won't let her go."

Melissa warned herself in a low voice in the corridor to leave as soon as possible.

Two minutes later, Elliot came to Harrison's workplace.

"Harrison. I asked you to investigate the matter of Sherri. How is it going? Is there any news? "

When Elliot mentioned about Sherri, his caring tone made Harrison make up his mind to let go of

Melissa and others for the time being.
