Chapter 245
Edward raised his eyebrows and found Nelissa’s behavior very interesting. He teased her. “You used to like crying?”
Nelissa replied with an “hmm” in embarrassment. She had a nickname called Xiao Yubao… Then, she looked up at Edward and asked, “Do you think I love crying?”
Most men didn’t like crying women. They would be annoyed by crying, and Edward was no exception. He stared at Nelissa thoughtfully and said with his thin lips, “I don’t know. But when I was in bed, I really wanted to make you cry.”
Nelissa blushed and ignored him.
Edward had always been very direct and honest when it came to expressing his thoughts. He did not know how to say beautiful words or deliberately make a mystery of himself. He felt that most of the time, a woman was most obsessed with men like him, who were so evil and had a personality.
Nelissa had no appetite and only ate a little porridge to warm her stomach. She didn’t want to eat anything else. The porridge tasted good. She didn’t know where Edward had asked someone to pack it. He was good at making use of the advantages of money. Not only did he spend money like water, but it was also the behavior of upstarts. He would still do his own thing in the most satisfactory way in a situation where he was not satisfied.
It should be a kind of living attitude of a noble young master.
After a while, someone came to visit her. Nelissa looked at the door curiously. She didn’t know who it was. Edward was feeding her porridge, so she couldn’t be distracted. She didn’t eat much, so she ate less when she was distracted. Her body was too thin. He said in a serious tone, “Eat quickly.”
Nelissa opened her mouth and took a bite. While eating, she said, “Someone is knocking on the door.”
Knowing that it was his friend, Edward said, “The door isn’t locked. Come in.”
The next moment, the door of the ward opened. A man, who was about the same age as Edward, came in with a smile. He was carrying the Three Treasure Techniques for Medical inquired- fruit baskets, herbal medicine, and flowers. The man pointed to the outside and said to Edward, “Dude, there are several bodyguards outside. What are you doing? Call the police if you need anything.”
Edward turned to look at him and said lightly, “Close the door first.”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
After closing the door, the guy put the things he bought on the sofa and tea table on the side. He glanced at Edward and found that the girl sitting on the bed was seriously injured. She was in good spirits. Although her face was pale, it could be seen that she had a good foundation, but she was a little young.
“Just 20 years old?”
“Does Edward like such a young girl?”
He didn’t have the nerve to go over and disturb other people’s love. He saw Edward standing next to the bed, holding a bowl of porridge in his hand and feeding it to the little girl. He even blew a little bit to warm her up before feeding it to his mouth. He was so gentle and considerate that he wondered if Edward had been beaten down. He had known this person for many years, and had never seen him serve others before.
It was hard to imagine what Edward would do to serve a young girl in her early 20s. He was indeed a young master’s life.
He looked at her curiously and saw that the little girl was also looking at him curiously. Their eyes met. He coughed softly and asked, “Dude, who is this?”
Nelissa answered first, “My name is Nelissa.” Then she said, “Sit down. You’re welcome.”
“Okay.” He thought for a moment and introduced himself. “My name is Yi Fan. I’m Ying Yan’s friend and I work in the police station.”
Nelissa was very curious about Edward’s friends. For example, Jason’s temperament was very different from the one in front of her, but it seemed that the person who had the best relationship with Edward was Sean. She paused, took another mouthful of porridge, and asked, “Are you working at the police station? Are you a policeman?”
“Yes.” Yi Fan nods.
Nelissa was lost in thought. She pushed Edward’s hand and couldn’t eat anymore.
“You’re not going to eat anymore?”
“I won’t eat anymore.”
“Are you full?”
“I’m full.”
Edward put down the bowl of porridge and took out a tissue to wipe Nelissa’s mouth. Then, he sat on the chair beside the bed, picked up the porridge left by Nelissa, and ate it gracefully. While eating, he spoke to his friend, Yifan, “Have you eaten yet?”
However, Yifan was stunned. He remembered that Edward had never eaten food that others had eaten. He felt that his saliva was spreading. He replied, “I’ve eaten it. I just got off work and ate it.”
Edward nodded and said to Yifan, “There’s a TV here. Put the video on display.”
Yifan was stunned. “Put it here?” He looked at Nelissa and said, “It’s not very good, is it?”
Edward thought about it and asked Nelissa seriously, “It was a video of a car accident yesterday afternoon. Do you dare to watch it? Do you have a shadow in your heart?”
Nelissa’s body was still in pain. This kind of trauma was not easy to ignore. She replied, “… It’s a little bit.”
Edward put down the bowl of porridge, looked into Nelissa’s eyes, and said, “That’s great. You have to see that if you can’t overcome the shadow, you will feel more uncomfortable in the future.” He reached out and touched Nelissa’s head. No matter how much he loved her, he had his principles. “It’s okay. You don’t have to be afraid after looking at it a few more times.”
He got up and looked at Yi Fan. “Give me the video. I’ll play it.”
Yifan handed a USB flash drive to Edward, and then Edward inserted the USB flash drive into the copper chip under the TV. He turned on the TV, pressed the remote control a few times, and the video was quickly played. It lasted about a minute, and the frame was not high. Fortunately, it was at noon, so it was not blurry.
Nelissa stared at the TV and soon saw herself in the video. She was kicked out of the road by a man wearing a mask. The first time she watched it was not obvious. The second time, the third time, it became clearer and clearer.
The man wearing a mask pushed her out on purpose. He had been observing the situation on the road before. When he saw that there were many cars, he pushed her out… to die.
In the midsummer, Nelissa broke out in a cold sweat. She reached out to grab Edward. His big hand wrapped around her little hand and held it tightly with his fingers. The warm temperature passed from his palm to her palm, driving away the cold.
Edward pressed the remote control and fixed the video. He lowered his head and asked Nelissa, “Do you think you know this person in the video?”
It was hard for Nelissa to say. The man was wearing a mask to cover his face, so she couldn’t see his face clearly. She could only rely on her intuition to make a decision. “I don’t think… I don’t know him, do I?”
She didn’t know many male friends. Most of them were businessmen of the company. They were either managers or bosses. It was impossible for them to do such a thing. Besides, she had never offended anyone. Even if she had offended someone, she wouldn’t have hired someone to kill her. Now, it was not a barbaric society.
After listening to Nelissa’s words, Edward and Yifan looked into each other’s eyes. He analyzed, “This person may only be collecting people’s money to help him solve the disaster. The mastermind behind the scenes can’t come out personally.” Nelissa didn’t know this person at all. It was very difficult to find the mastermind through this person.
It was very difficult.
The main reason was that they couldn’t even trace this person’s whereabouts.
