Chapter 171
In the single ward, Nelissa had not yet woken up, and the IV drip was slowly dripping. Edward and Sean were silent, as if they were thinking, or they were all in chaos and had complicated relationships. Edward's long and slender hands had been covering her warm little hands. His fingers stroked the shallow red marks on her wrist, and his eyebrows and eyes were deeply condensed. He wanted to beat Sean again. After a while, both parties calmed down.
"How do you explain?" Sean looked at Edward and asked. His handsome face was covered with bruises and bruises.
One of them was standing, and the other was sitting. Edward's tall figure stood in front of Nelissa's bed, and there was a shadow of anger on his handsome face. Sophie saw it and understood it completely. The ring on Nelissa's neck was left by Edward's mother. Nelissa was the girl that Edward had never forgotten. There was no other possibility.
Sean's mood was complicated.
Edward turned to look at him. "You explain first."
"What should I explain?" Sean murmured, and the place where he had a headache and was beaten by Edward on the sofa also hurt. If it weren't for Edward, he wouldn't hesitate. "You don't know that I am looking for Anna, but she is the girl I am looking for. Now you tell me that you are with her, what should I do? Do you want me to give up looking for Anna? Or do you know where Anna is at all? Did Nelissa tell you?"
Edward immediately frowned. The situation was very chaotic, and no one could sort it out in a short time.
But Edward had a bottom line that couldn't be violated. He was very angry that Sean had hurt Nelissa today. "Make a statement. I don't know that you are looking for Nelissa. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have let you take her away! I won't stop you from looking for Anna, but you can't touch Nelissa!"
Sean clenched his fists and held back his temper. "As long as she's willing to tell me where Anna is, I won't touch her. But if she refuses to say anything, I won't let it go!"
In the end, the cause of all this came from that year. If they couldn't get rid of this knot, none of the three of them could come out.
If it weren't for Nelissa, if Anna hadn't disappeared... but if not, they could only fight for the best of both worlds.
Edward untied the two buttons on his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves. His suit jacket was still in the car.
He sat beside Nelissa's bed and rubbed the back of her hand with his big hand. He frowned and said, "Tell me everything from beginning to end. It can't be Nelissa who took Anna away. She can't do it." After the accident, Sean told him the whole thing, but now he needed to listen to it again. He needed details, a detail that could prove that it had nothing to do with Nelissa and could convince Sean.
"I've told you countless times that no one could take Anna away except Nelissa at that time. She has the responsibility to do so. She is the most important clue."
"If you want to protect her now, do you want me to waste my efforts over the past few years? Even if you don't love Anna, you still have some feelings for her, don't you? Can you imagine what kind of life and situation she is living now?" "Are you going to turn against me just to protect this woman?"
Sean stood up. He couldn't find Anna again and again, and he couldn't find the relationship between Edward and Nelissa. He had reached his limit and was on the verge of losing control.
At this time, the female nurse came in when she heard the noise in the ward. She thought that something had happened to the patient.
As soon as the door opened, Sean shouted coldly, "Get out!"
The female nurse was so scared that she did not dare to come in. The two men looked extraordinary and had a good temperament. At first glance, they were rich childes. Men like them were not easy to deal with.
Edward's eyebrows were thin and his eyes were cold. His mind was calm. He said, "When I was not in Haleston City, you told me the whole story from your point of view. I know Nelissa's character. I don't think it's her. You might have made a mistake."
"I never missed it!" Sean was extremely conceited of himself.
His parents doted on him, and he was the only son of the Bailey family. He was not in a troublesome situation like Edward. He was the only heir of the Bailey family, and no one could threaten him. Everything was going smoothly. Only his favorite sister Anna was a big hurdle in his life.
If he didn't go, he would die.
Edward didn't think so. He had his own opinion. "But you've always been irrational about Anna's affairs. You've taken a lot of medicine in the past few years, but you're too angry at Nelissa because you can't get her into your hands anymore. Nelissa is the only person you can think of. You've already believed that she did it. I know your character. Once you're in a panic, you won't give her a chance to explain. You'll become more and more stubborn."
"But if your judgment is really wrong, you will only get farther and farther away from Anna."
Sean shook his head. "To put it bluntly, you just want to protect her." He asked Edward, "Do you think it's you or me?"
Everyone was arguing and was partial to the person in their hearts.
Such a conversation could not continue...
Edward rubbed his eyebrows with his good-looking hands. In a dilemma, he looked at Nelissa with distress. It was hard to describe his mood at this time. "Let's wait until Nelissa wakes up. Our speculation can't be regarded as evidence. It may be a misunderstanding."
"If she refuses to say it all the time, does it mean that our conversation will break down?" Sean looked at Edward and asked slowly.
When he calmed down, problems came one after another.
The collapse of the negotiation meant that the brotherhood between Edward and Sean for many years was about to turn against each other.
If Sean wanted to find Anna, it would be impossible for Edward to let Nelissa get hurt. No one was wrong, but water and fire were incompatible.

Edward pointed out the key point. "You don't have direct evidence to prove that it's Nelissa."
Sean retorted, "But she is the most suspicious. She has something to do with it."
"Did you really want to kill her just now?" Edward asked, staring into Sean's eyes.
Sean was silent.
Edward closed his eyes and opened them again. He couldn't stand anyone treating him like this, not even Sean! He had feelings for Anna, but he couldn't compare to her. No matter how wrong she was, he couldn't... Edward couldn't control her emotions anymore. "At that point, she still didn't say anything. There's only one possibility. She really doesn't know."
"I don't believe it." Sean's attitude was very straightforward.
Just like what Edward had said, he had no idea what to do. Nelissa was his only hope. If he wasn't even Nelissa, he might never find Anna. He didn't believe it!
Edward nodded and forced himself to calm down. "Believe it or not, it's another matter. I'll force you. But there's one thing I have to warn you. Nelissa is my woman. If you touch her, I won't let you off. Besides, I'll find Anna before you do." "Don't force me to do this. We can have a long-term discussion. I can discuss anything with you, but don't hurt her."
Suddenly, Sean gave her a strange smile and said in a unfriendly tone, "You're threatening me."
"Because you made her lie here!" The chair next to him was kicked over by Edward. He stood up, and his temples were beating wildly.
Sean and Edward looked at each other closely. If they had not been in the hospital ward, they would have fought a long time ago. They could not vent their anger, and no one would give in. Even when they were at their worst, they would not be in a deadlock like they were now, and they would break at any time.
It was not until Julian called that the dangerous atmosphere was eased a little.
Edward picked up the phone in front of Sean and did not leave the ward. He was worried about Nelissa. "Brother."
"I'm at the hospital, the Jung Hospital."

"Grandpa is discharged from the hospital..." Edward frowned and almost forgot about it. He looked at Nelissa, who had not woken up yet. Her pale face was delicate and delicate, and there were obvious bruises on her thin white neck. The little hand in his hand was small and soft. She was too weak, and anyone could subdue her.
He couldn't leave her. He hadn't reached an agreement with Sean yet. He said to Julian, "I may be absent."
His brother was opposed to it. "What did you say? If you don't agree, don't promise to come. If you agree, you must show up. This is the last thing Grandpa likes. Today, everyone in the family will come to pick him up. You can't be absent. I know who you are with now, Nelissa, right? I'll come over now."
The call ended.
Holding his phone, Edward felt more and more headache.
"Let's talk about it again." Sean told him that they were brothers who had known each other since they were children. Their relationship was very good, and no one wanted to break down.
Edward nodded. It was time to talk.
They had been talking in the ward for a long time. Everyone had their own reasons. Edward had always protected Nelissa, and Sean wanted to dig out Anna's whereabouts from Nelissa's mouth. She refused to tell him, and he must use some iron hands. This was the biggest problem that they could not reach an agreement.
As time went by, the two stubborn men quarreled again.
At this time, someone came from outside the ward and opened the door.
"What are you arguing about? You can hear your voices outside the door." Julian came over with dust on his face. He turned his eyes to Sean, whom he had not seen for a year. He scolded him as an elder. "You returned to China and didn't even come back to your own home. Why are you quarreling with my brother here? How much do you hate each other?"
Sean didn't say anything. He didn't have a brother, but he regarded Julian as his eldest brother.
Edward saw that Nelissa's infusion bottle was about to be finished. She called the female nurse to come in and deal with it. Then she looked at Zayden, who came with her brother, with a fierce look in her eyes!
Zayden found Julian through Han Penelope. Sure enough, Edward knew where Sean was, while Julian knew where Edward was. If he found them, he could almost find Nelissa.
But he didn't expect that Nelissa was in the hospital...
"You two, come out and talk." Julian looked at his brother and Sean. No wonder he always felt that Nelissa's name was very familiar. If it weren't for Penelope and Zayden looking for him today, he wouldn't even remember it. Nelissa, his daughter's classmate!
How could Edward be with his niece's classmate? What was he trying to say?
