Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

“Angela.”

James pinched her chin harder, but when he saw the redness on her chin, he could not help loosening his hand slightly.

They could felt the breath of each other. They were so close that their lips nearly rubbed together while talking. It seemed so romantic, but there was no affections in their eyes.

Angela looked at him directly. Her lips were white and limbs were soft, but she kept drawing up and said, “I’ve revealed your matters in such way, making you embarrassed. I’m really s…”

Sorry.

“The day before your birthday two years ago, I went to the Smith house and went up to the second floor. I was standing in the room across from Danis’ room.”

James directly interrupted her. There were some complex expressions in his eyes. He was breathing quickly and asked, “So, don’t you remember anything?”

Some images flashed through Angela’s mind, and her pupils shrank somewhat. Her body stiffened slightly, and she felt a little nervous, so she did not notice that his hand clutching her chin was trembling.

That explained why James did not seem to like Jessica that much, but he had repeatedly humiliated and tormented Angela for Jessica. That also explained why James suddenly changed his attitude towards her on her birthday!

She only thought that James liked Jessica, and that she had broken Jessica’s leg. So he broke her leg and frantically abused her… Finally, it was because of this matter!

Her heart was nearly torn up by the sudden anger, unwillingness, helplessness and hatred.

She glared at him and snorted, “I thought you are smart, but it turned out…”

BANG!

The door was suddenly kicked open, and Adeline rushed in furiously.

When she saw James and Angela so close, she froze first, and then became furious. She strode forward and raised her hand to slap Angela.

Angela lifted her hand with a poker face to stop Adeline’s movements, but James also raised his hand and did what she wanted to do.

“Auntie, as an elder, you shouldn’t do that.”

James forced a smile and actually looked at Adeline coldly. “You’d better learn how to respect others from Jessica.”

Angela looked down and snorted. She took a few steps back to stay away from James and Adeline.

“James, you’re actually protecting this little slut? You…”

Adeline looked at him incredulously and questioned loudly.

James narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, “Auntie Adeline, please check your tone.”

“You are about to get engaged to Jessica, but Angela is still pestering you. She’s such a slut, isn’t she?!”

Adeline pointed at Angela with undisguised disgust and hatred on her face.

She did not even give James and Angela a chance to speak, and spoke extremely fast to convict Angela, “No wonder you suddenly said to cure Angela’s leg. The bitch has recently hooked up with you so that you want to cure her leg, right?”

“Your father, at such an old age, will marry a young girl whereas you are cursing like a shrew. Your family is a century-old scholar family. It’s really impressive.”

Angela snorted, took two steps forward and looked down at her. She added unhurriedly,

“I’ll treat my leg if I want to. I make my own decision. I don’t need to take your advice, do I?”

James looked at Angela, and the expressions in his eyes were complicated.

Today her behaviour was somehow like what she used to, but she was not quite the same, and it’s all because…

His Adam’s apple moved and he felt heartbroken. His fingers trembled slightly, and he was unable to say whether he hated her more, or liked her… more.

Adeline could not believe that she was actually criticized by Angela, so she reached out and pointed at Angela. Her finger was almost touching Angela’s nose, when she said, “You…”

“To be honest, Mrs. Smith, calm down. It’s not good for your health to get angry.”

Angela forced a smile but there was just an indifferent expression in her eyes.

“You or anyone in the Smiths is neither a god nor an ancient emperor, so you can’t determine my destiny, and you aren’t qualified to say or tell me what I should do.”

Hearing this, Adeline was so furious that she was breathing quickly. Her fingers reached further, “Angela, you… you you little bitch…”

“Little bitch?”

Angela interrupted her with a smile, “Mrs. Smith, at least you come from a decent family, so it’s better for you to use elegant words. You’ve repeated these words for so many times that my ears are getting calloused from hearing them.”

As she spoke, she clutched the fingers of Adeline’s that were pointing at her and forced them down.

“Angela, don’t forget that you are no longer a member of Chante family. If you offend me, you won’t have any good consequences!”

Adeline grunted loudly and looked furious.

Angela forced a smile and said, “You are kidding me, Mrs. Smith. When I did not offend you, I had no good consequences either.”

“You’d better check your tones!!”

Adeline had already got used to Angela being a coward these days, and she was suddenly furious to hear what she said.

Angela said tonelessly,

“You’d better to pray that what you did would never come to light.”

“Look at her, James.

This murderer is so rampant and has such an evil mind. You’re going to treat her leg. Why?”

Adeline’s face became red and she was breathing quickly because she was furious.

“I don’t need to explain what I’m going to do to you, Auntie Adeline.”

James frowned slightly because of her words, and then he said,

“Auntie Adeline, please go back.”

Adeline glanced at Angela who was looking at her coldly, and she was really unwilling to just go back, so she shouted,

“James, I’m asking you again. Are you really going to do this?!”

Knock knock!

Someone knocked on the door, and then pushed it open. The person at the door frowned and said,

“There are patients here. Keep your voice down.”

It’s the head nurse.

After saying that, she glared at Adeline and closed the door.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Adeline was first pissed off by Angela and James, and now she was being scolded by the head nurse. She was nearly bursting with rage!

She pointed at James and then at Angela. She was too furious to say anything. After a few seconds, she said, “James, what you did was really too much. I’ll go back and ask Jessica to cancel the engagement with you!”

“Auntie Adeline, I’m afraid you had misremembered something. I’m not engaged to Jessica, so there’s no need to cancel it.”

James said.

Hearing this, Adeline looked extremely embarrassed.

“And, I’ll be happy if you can persuade Jessica and change her mind.”

James stroked his clothes and forced a smile.

Adeline looked at him and then at Angela. She sneered, slammed the door, and left.

When the door was closed, only James and Angela were left in the ward.

James’ right hand originally hung down touched the edge of his trousers. He looked down and his eyelashes fluttered softly. Then he looked up at her and said, “Just us now. Tell me.”
