Chapter 267
Zayden knew Nelissa. Most of her emotions were refusing when she didn’t speak. His eyes became clear and he said, “You have to correct your mistakes. Everyone has to bear the consequences of making mistakes. I will bear the responsibility and lose you for five years. But I don’t want to completely lose you. Nelissa, as compensation, I can help you investigate the incident that happened to your master’s mother. I will find out the murderer. Can you forgive me for my sincerity?”
Nelissa looked at Zayden. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say. She asked in surprise, “Can you find it out?”
Zayden nodded. “There is a way.”
“Then…” Nelissa thought for a moment and lowered her head to look at her toes. Knowing that she could only investigate her mother’s case in secret, the police couldn’t intervene. “Will there be any danger?”
Zayden was silent.
Nelissa waited for a while without seeing him speak. She raised her head and looked at his expression. Her heart sank a little. “Zayden, we can’t do this anymore. You will definitely find another person you like in the future. The reason why you feel pain is that no one is willing to exchange so many years for a bad ending. But even if you find out the murderer, so what? Do you want to hand him over to the police? At that time, my mother’s crime will also be exposed. Or, do you plan to deal with it yourself?”
The more she said, the more her heart sank. She couldn’t help but hold Zayden’s arm. “Zayden, I beg you, don’t do anything illegal. Can you leave that kind of place? I…”
Before Nelissa could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zayden. His index finger gently pressed against her lips and he hissed. He was smiling, and his eyes and brows were as familiar as the spring breeze in the past.
Nelissa didn’t expect that she would be held in his arms. The handsome face in front of her bent down inch by inch and approached her face…
Panic and instinct, Nelissa turned her face away. Zayden’s lips brushed past hers and missed hers. He only kissed the corner of her lips. The brief kiss caused Nelissa’s entire body to tremble. Zayden wouldn’t think that she liked him. Her resistance was obvious, and even her lips were trembling.
Zayden chose to turn a blind eye to it. His lips slowly left hers and, ignoring her wishes, hugged her into his arms. His arms were gently confined, and the transparent tears instantly passed under the dusk outside the window. He hugged Nelissa and looked at the gradually turning red and sinking sky. He said, “I am very happy that you call me Nelissa again. I haven’t heard you call me like this for many years. I lost control for a moment.”
Nelissa was in a trance and wanted to cry. This person had betrayed her and hurt her deeply. He was very bad, but he was not bad enough. If he was a little worse, she would not hesitate at all.
When he finally realized how wrong he had been at that time, it was too late. She still wanted him to be good. Although she could not be with him anymore, she still hoped that he would be happy.
Perhaps it was because Zayden and she had been in debt with each other for the rest of their lives. He had accompanied her for nearly Nathan, but she had still left.
Nelissa wanted to tell Zayden that the Quest family didn’t need to give her anything, because it was already his. After her mother woke up, she didn’t have the ability to manage the company anymore. As an outsider, she didn’t have to ruin her career. Her life was sometimes uncertain, so she didn’t need to ask for more.
Nelissa was about to speak when the door of the ward was suddenly opened again. Ning Ranqiu came in and was about to change Nelissa’s dressing. However, she saw a man holding Nelissa in his arms. This person was not Edward. Ning Ranqiu was so scared that she screamed out loud. She thought that it was someone with evil intentions who broke in and bullied a female patient.
The bodyguards outside immediately came in. Zayden reluctantly let go of Nelissa and whispered to her, “Wait for me.”
What was he waiting for?All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Nelissa didn’t know that she had been messed up by people who came in one after another.
At this moment, Nelissa saw Han Penelope, who had been standing at the door of the ward and did not come in, leaving with red eyes.
Nelissa felt that she was in deep trouble. She explained to the doctor and the bodyguards, “He is someone I know.”
Ning Ranqiu felt embarrassed and said, “I’m here to change your dressing.”
Nelissa nodded. When the bodyguards saw that it was a misunderstanding, they all went out. Zayden took a deep look at her and then left.
The spacious ward suddenly became much quieter. Nelissa went back to the bed and leaned against the erected pillow. Her pale face was slightly stunned, as if she was in a daze. She always liked to empty her mind in chaos. She didn’t think about anything, and would be in a better mood after being in a daze.
Ning Ranqiu took off the gauze on Nelissa’s forehead and couldn’t help asking her, “Is that your friend?”
Nelissa was still in a daze. “Mm.” She and Zayden could be considered childhood sweethearts.
Ning Ranqiu didn’t ask any more questions. She knew that this emotional problem must be quite sensitive. It was difficult for men and women to have ordinary friends, and ordinary men and women wouldn’t hug each other. She didn’t know Nelissa and Edward, as well as the man just now.
From her observation over the past few days, she found that Edward and Nelissa were really in a good relationship. The nurses outside were all envious. Edward was very painful and warm. He was even better than his lover. If it weren’t for the fact that she had been exposed by another female doctor, as well as some previous rumors, she couldn’t believe that she was the same man. It was really a change of the past.
After the doctor changed the medicine, Nelissa lay on the hospital bed, sleepy. Her fingers slid across the phone feebly, got up, and called Edward. The voice message had been turned off. She immediately thought of the news of Sophie at noon today.
The reporter moved so fast?
The reporters were indeed very fast. When Sophie’s news came out at noon, because it was related to Edward, it spread very fast. Edward’s private mobile phone number was also accidentally leaked, and countless calls were made in the afternoon.
He simply turned off his mobile phone and was currently at a dinner table in the Haleston City Hotel. It was blocked by the media who had received the news. The lobby of the hotel was full of reporters waiting for him.
Nowadays, people in the society were already tired of the small disputes in the entertainment circle, and they were more interested in the affairs of the rich and powerful families. The first young master of the Haleston City had rich assets and rich background, and his idol star was just a piece of cake in front of Edward. The emotional problem this time also involved the always low-key Bailey family. The secrets of the two influential families only showed a little bit of the iceberg, which had attracted a high degree of attention. All the major media couldn’t wait to interview Edward and dig up an exclusive scandal.
Andrew looked around and reported, “Young Mr. Hales, there are still many reporters outside. They can’t leave for a while.”
Edward didn’t say anything. He seemed very bored. He leaned against the back of the chair lazily, with a snow-white cigarette between his fingers. He didn’t smoke it and just let it burn out.
This dinner party was organized by Zhou Jingshi. Zhou Jingjing had helped Edward before, and now he wanted to make a deal with him. Zhou Jingshi intended to invest in a large-scale TV series to rope in the Han’s sponsor. This young man liked to invest and make extra money. He had been aiming at the rich field of the entertainment circle for a long time. Their relationship was good, and they were only short of money.
Edward was very straightforward. He only added one condition and wanted to use the artists of Susan’s studio…
