Chapter 143
It took Andrew two hours to buy the ingredients that Nelissa wanted. He carried two bags of things into the villa and saw that the living room had been cleaned up, and the kitchen, which no one used, was also boiling water. Nelissa thought that she couldn't give the patient cold water. At least there should be a cup of warm water when she took the medicine. She couldn't find it in Edward's villa.
The kitchen was so clean that it was as clean as dust. High-level kitchen utensils and pots were basically used in the supermarket. She found a kettle to boil water, and then used a thermos to keep it warm.
"So many things?" Nelissa saw Andrew take two bags of ingredients into the kitchen and put them on the kitchen table.
She frowned as if she hadn't written so much.
"I don't know much about some ingredients, so I bought them all." It was rare for a capable man like Andrew to show an embarrassed expression. He had hit quite a few walls in the supermarket just now and was confused. Without a shopping guide, he bought all the ingredients he knew.
Nelissa understood Andrew very well. Going shopping in the supermarket was a kind of knowledge. It was okay when you were not short of money, but when you were short of money, you really had to take a few yuan accurately. If you bought the wrong thing, you could only force yourself to eat because money was not enough for you to spend.
Nelissa washed her hands and opened the bag to have a look. Andrew could not distinguish the garlic and onion, as well as some vegetables. She did not buy any wrong meat. She bought some rock sugar for her as well as a bag of lamb fragrant rice.
Fortunately, she cooked the porridge for Edward. She had enough ingredients.
Andrew watched Nelissa open a bag of rice, and her black ponytail swayed in front of him. At this time, he should come forward to help. After all, he was Young Mr. Hales's assistant. He should do trivial things, but he really didn't know how to do it. He knew nothing about the kitchen.
He stood aside passively and had nothing to do. He usually looked at Nelissa's delicate appearance, but unexpectedly, she was very good at taking care of people. He coughed and asked, "Is Young Mr. Hales awake?"
"Not yet." Nelissa shook her head sadly. Just now, she had been taking care of Edward in the bedroom. She wanted him to wake up, but she didn't dare to call him. She cried secretly and couldn't bear to part with him. She washed her rice and asked Andrew, "Do you want porridge?"
"No." Andrew shook his head. He still had something to do. "The company called me. I'm in a hurry to go back. Since Young Mr. Hales is not here, I have to deal with his business here. He asked you to take care of him. You must call me if you need anything. When he wakes up, please let me know. Because the chairman doesn't know that Young Mr. Hales is ill, I haven't told Young Mr. Hales's family yet." "Okay, I got it." Nelissa nodded.
Andrew soon left the villa.
Nelissa made meat slices and vegetable porridge in the kitchen, poured rice, water, and ingredients into the purple sand pot, covered it with a lid, and slowly boiled them. Then she went upstairs to take care of Edward. Seeing him sweating, she wiped his sweat. His figure was so strong that Nelissa had no strength to change clothes for him. She reluctantly took off her coat, wiped his chest with a clean hot towel, and then put on a dry shirt.
After doing all this, Nelissa was already so tired that her face and ears turned red. Edward's lower body...
She bit her lip and glanced at it. It was hard to change.
She pulled up all the curtains in the bedroom. Edward didn't like to be exposed when she slept. She knew his habit.
After running upstairs and downstairs for several times, Nelissa finally finished her porridge in the kitchen. She put it in the purple sand pot and could keep it warm for a day. It was convenient. She stayed by Edward's side and took care of him wholeheartedly.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was setting, and the bedroom with the curtains closed was dark. Edward opened his eyes for a few seconds, but it was still dark or dawn. He felt that he had slept for a long time, and his body was very weak, so he told him that he needed water and food.
He sat up with his hands on his forehead. Someone was lying on the bed beside his hand, with his fingers wrapped around his fingers. His tender skin was close to his skin, and a few strands of hair were also entangled in it, as if they were coaxing him.
The temperature in the bedroom was low. Edward blinked her eyes and gradually adapted to the darkness in the room. He saw clearly who the person beside him was. Nelissa was the woman he would always miss in his dreams. Edward stared at her motionlessly. His dark eyes were slightly shocked. His slender fingers stroked her warm fingertips and touched her very carefully. It was unknown whether it was a dream or not. He could not tell whether he was crazy or not.
Just then, Nelissa suddenly woke up from her light sleep. She looked up at Edward'er, who was already awake, and slowly relaxed. "You're awake!"
Edward's eyes flickered. He pulled out his hand from Nelissa's hand and turned his handsome face away without saying a word.
Nelissa knew that he was angry. She held the prepared water by the bedside table and carefully handed it to him, biting her lips. "Are you thirsty? Drink some water first."
Edward took the cup of water and soon finished it. Nelissa poured him another cup of water. His dry and thirsty throat was as painful as if it had been burned. After drinking some water, he felt a little more comfortable. He stared deeply at Nelissa, his five fingers grabbing the glass of water tightly to control his emotions.

Nelissa said softly, "The doctor prescribed the medicine for you. You'll have to take it later. But you're in an empty stomach now. I made porridge for you. I'll bring it to you."
"What are you doing here?" Edward's hoarse voice was covered with an unreachable coldness.
Nelissa's heart was instantly filled with sadness and pain. She looked down and said slowly, "Andrew couldn't find you in the morning, so he called me. Later, he found that you were sick in the villa. I couldn't help coming to see you." "So?" Edward's voice was low and hoarse. He held the man's face with his long and slender hands, and his emotions burst out in the depression. The more he loved and loved her, the more he hated her cruel heart. "After seeing me, you are leaving again, aren't you? Since you want to leave, don't appear in front of me again and again. I will misunderstand that you have fallen in love with me again."
"Nelissa, I'll admit that I fell into your hands. If you give me a little sweetness, I'll be overjoyed. I'm willing to think that you're interested in me. Now I know I've made a mistake. Do you really want to see how embarrassed I look after being abandoned by you? Just watch and leave after you finish reading. I won't beg a woman who doesn't love me."
"I won't die without you!"
Edward's strong chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes were red.
Nelissa shook her head and kept shaking her head. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and hugged Edward'er pitifully. She knew that she had hurt him and let him down. She did not have the right to cry or beg for his forgiveness. "No, no, no." Nelissa wrapped her arms around Edward's neck willfully, and her tears wet his shoulders. She cried with a red face and said intermittently, "Edward, I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I don't want to go. I like you. I like you very much. After I heard that you fell ill, I was in a panic. All I thought about was how good you were to me."
Edward saw Nelissa crying so hard that she couldn't breathe. He grabbed her and stared at her tearful face. He hated her so much. Before she lost consciousness last night, he even wanted to take revenge on her. He used all means on her and no longer loved her.
But now that she was crying, everything was in a mess. Edward frowned and roughly wiped Nelissa's tears with his big hand. He was not gentle at all. "What are you crying for? I'm the one who was abandoned by you, and I'm also the one who fell ill. Have I forced you? Why are you crying in front of me? You still expect me to be soft-hearted to you!"
Nelissa couldn't hold Edward's body, so she held his arm like a poor little girl. She lowered her head and cried softly beside him. She couldn't listen to what he said and begged miserably, "Don't drive me away, Edward... Edward..." Hearing Nelissa's cries, Edward pursed his thin lips and tightened his muscles. Edward was a man with a heart of stone, but he was not angry with Nelissa.
Edward couldn't understand the violent man. He didn't want to hit the woman he loved.
"Cough cough..." Nelissa started to sob and cough. Her tear-stained cheeks clung to Edward's arms. She was so attached to him that she refused to let him go.
Edward frowned, turned sideways, and pulled Nelissa into his arms. She hugged him tightly and wrapped her trembling arms around his waist. Her face was wet with his clothes, and even his heart was melted by her. She really wanted to see how she could not leave him forever. "Since you like me, why don't you dare to be with me? What did Zayden say to you?"
"I'm scared, I'm scared!" Nelissa was really scared.
If she said no, she really didn't know how to tell Edward, Zayden about threatening her with evidence. She couldn't let her mother have something to do, but she couldn't ask Edward to help her solve it. Things were too messy and she had too many concerns. She thought she could bear it alone, but she liked Edward more than she imagined.
She wanted to be with him and give it a try regardless of the consequences.
"What are you afraid of? Will I let you have something to do? If there is something, I will let you bear it. What are you afraid of!" Edward grabbed Nelissa's face. Looking at her wet eyes, he felt both distressed and angry. Edward thought that Zayden was threatening Nelissa with the child. He knew how much Nelissa cherished her two children. He was so angry that he didn't believe that she could protect her and her two children! Nelissa looked at Edward'er and cried. "I'm just scared! No matter what happens in the future, can you not be angry with me? Believe me, stand on my side, and you're not allowed to abandon me." "How dare you make a condition for me?" Edward was furious to the extreme. Nelissa rubbed her face against his chest. No matter how angry she was, she was still angry.
Edward tugged at the hem of his shirt and wiped Nelissa's red and swollen eyes with his handsome face. He frowned.
Nelissa blushed and said, "I, I... I'll listen to you in the future, okay?"
Edward paused and glanced at Nelissa, watching her continue to express her love in a soft voice. "I'll do whatever you ask me to do. My whole person is yours. I only love you, and I won't leave you." Edward's Adam's apple moved, as if he had obtained a treasure that he had been spying on for a long time. His voice was very hoarse. "Just love my man?"
"Yes." Nelissa nodded briskly and looked up at him. Her cheeks were as red as peach blossoms. "I love you, Edward."
