Chapter 29
Leaving the villa, Edward went to Cloud Town, the small town where Bella and Albie are located, according to the address given by Jason.
"Mum, Uncle Jason said Dad will come to see us later, right?" Albie asked excitedly.
"It's not dad, it's another uncle Long." Looking at Albie's disappointed eyes, Bella's heart ached. Maybe she was too selfish to ignore Albie's expectation to have a father.
But she had already done her best, hadn't she? Perhaps Ruby was right. She never knew how cruel a man's heart was. And she neither knew what lies behind sweet words.
She was wondered what Edward was intended to do? Bella slowly clenched Albie's hand. She was intended to leave Albie at home, so she would send Edward away easily. But this kid overheard the phone and insisted on going with her. She could not help but brought him out.
"Mum, I'm a little bit hungry."
Standing at the entrance of the town for more than an hour, Bella touched Albie's head lovingly saying, "Albie, it's time to go back for dinner."
"What if he can't find Nanny Gong's home?" Albie said with some concern.
"Then he will call us."
Actually, Edward had been here for a while.
"Why haven't they come back yet?" Edward was wandering up and down the courtyard of Nanny Gong's house. He had been here for almost half an hour and hadn't seen Bella and Albie who did not answer the phone.
"They said they would meet you at the entrance, and it's time to come back." Nanny Gong also began to worry.
"I'll check." Edward could not sit still. He drove along the only road out of town, looking for Bella and Albie.
Suddenly his cell phone rang. It was from Catherine. He hesitated for a moment and answered it.
"Edward, Ruby committed suicide." Catherine's anxious voice came from the other side.
"I know it."
No sooner had he put down his phone than Jason called. "Edward, Ruby committed suicide."
Edward's brow wrinkled. He knew Jason would never call him for Ruby. There must have been something else.
Jason continued, "There is a lot of media gathering at the gate of the hospital. A person who claimed to be Ruby's cousin claimed it is Long's family who forced Ruby to death. He also said there was domestic violence, and asked for police intervention in the investigation. I think there must be a driving force behind this. You'd better come back."
In the end, Jason's voice changed. It seemed that the situation was very serious.
Edward smashed the steering wheel and called Bella again. But her phone was turned off.
He called Nanny Gong again and told her to inform him as soon as Bella and Albie came back.
At 8: 30 p.m., Edward arrived at Warming Hospital in s city. There was still some media at the door, but the man who claimed to be Ruby's cousin had disappeared.
Edward walked into the hospital, Ruby was out of danger but had not yet recovered.
"I heard that you are divorcing Ruby?" Catherine looked at her reproachfully, "Though Ruby can't have a baby, she has been with you for several years, don't be so reckless..." "That's enough. Bella was temporarily unable to have a baby. What did you do to her?"
Because she did something shameful." Catherine replied confidently.
"How do you know Ruby didn't do something shady?" Edward didn't want to argue with her anymore. With a wave of his hand, he ended the conversation.
"You should leave my affairs alone." Then he left the ward and met Jason with a worried face in the corridor.
