Chapter 175
Nelissa was fine. The doctor gave her some anti-inflammatory drugs for a few days and told her that she could be discharged at any time.
Nelissa wanted to see her mother, and Zayden followed her. He had been silent with a heavy heart, and his handsome face was gloomy. Just like when he first came to her house, he hid his emotions very deeply, and he liked no one from the bottom of his heart. He was a very deep person. Later, he slowly opened his heart and took care of her.
Right now, she and Zayden were no longer able to return to the past. There was an invisible barrier between them.
In Sonya's ward, Nelissa asked the nurse to go out first, then came to the bed and held Sonya's hand quietly. She was a little confused. When she was weak, she always wanted to go back to her relatives. She blinked, her eyes a little dry.
Zayden looked down at Nelissa's sad face and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Nelissa shook her head, remembering the phone he had called her in the morning. "How did you know that Sean is back?"
Zayden told her, "I had some social activities outside today and happened to see Sean at Haleston City Hotel. But when he came back to Haleston City, he lived in the hotel outside. I felt very abnormal and thought of your safety." "Thank you." Nelissa didn't say anything. She really wanted to thank Zayden for this. He was no longer her man, and there was no need and no obligation to take responsibility for her life. He was willing to call her at that time to remind her of his kindness.
It was very realistic. The two people who had once been so in love with each other, it was natural for him to guard and protect them. He would never thank them politely. Later, they separated and hated each other. Many misunderstandings could not be explained in the best time. The disappointment accumulated deeper and deeper in the years of indifference. He pushed the two people who were so close to each other further and further away. Only then did he find that it did not matter whether he could explain them or not.
What Nelissa wanted the most was that Zayden didn't give it to her. Since he chose Susan, she couldn't beg for nothing.
Zayden's lips twitched into a smile, as if he was mocking himself. Nelissa was not used to him looking at her with such a smile.
He said to her, "I've been looking for you all day. I knew something must have happened to you when I couldn't get through to you. I was very anxious, but I didn't know where you were. When I went to your company, you weren't there. I could only ask people I knew about you one by one. I found Han Penelope and Edward's assistant. Finally, I found you after a few twists and turns. Since you came back, you didn't want to tell me many things. I wanted to know your situation, so I could only collect information bit by bit from others and then sort it out myself."
"Do you know how uncomfortable I am? If I didn't ask you to thank me, I could still protect you! You left me for five years because of a misunderstanding with Susan. If you are now with someone else to take revenge on me, can I ask you to stop..."
Zayden was in great pain and in a state of excitement. Veins appeared on his neck. He hoped that this was truly a revenge that Nelissa had given him.
"I didn't take revenge on you." Nelissa denied. She really liked Edward. She had been hurt by love, but she wouldn't hurt another innocent person with this reason. It was immoral and very bad. She hated Zayden the most for falling in love with a man who was ambitious.
At this point, she simply admitted, "I am really with Edward, not taking revenge on you. You don't have to think so much about yourself. In my heart, you are no longer what you used to be. I don't like you anymore. From the moment you took over the property of the Quest family, you should have expected that we would come to this point sooner or later. You brought your own suffering."
Zayden grabbed onto Nelissa's shoulder and pulled her back. He lowered his head and looked into her eyes, which didn't seem to be lying. His expression grew even more sinister. "When did you two get together? Did he touch you?" Nelissa said goodbye to the beginning and did not know how to answer this question.
Zayden couldn't accept Nelissa's betrayal. He pulled her shoulder and said angrily, "Even if you're not taking revenge on me, you're humiliating yourself! How long have you known Edward? One month? Or two months? In such a short time, you don't know him at all. He's not suitable for you. I've told you his relationship with Sean. He's Anna's fiance. Why don't you listen to me?"
The more he spoke, the more regret Zayden felt. His eyes were filled with pain, and his hair was red. His heart was empty, and his heart had been gouged out. He had been robbed by Edward!
Nelissa wanted to refute Zayden, but someone happened to be outside the ward, so she opened the door and came in without knocking.
It was the attending doctor of Sonya, Alex.
He wanted to look for Nelissa, but his handsome face wasn't friendly. "Do you know that Jolene is looking for you?"
Nelissa was stunned and remembered to check her phone. She didn't know why her phone was turned off and she couldn't turn it on. It was probably because she was taken away by Sean's men at the construction site this morning and she failed. She frowned. There was a clock in the ward, and it was already after work. Nathan had passed, and Jolene couldn't get in touch with her all day, so he must be worried.
Nelissa hurriedly asked the nurse to come in to take care of Sonya and was about to leave. She wanted to ask about Alex into Sonya, but she was driven away by someone before Alex into a meeting. She had to give up and go back first. There were too many things today, and she forgot that she suddenly disappeared today. She had to explain to the company tomorrow.
He entered the elevator and pressed the button of the first floor.
Zayden and Nelissa were standing together. After much consideration, he said, "How did Sean find you? Logically speaking, your wife has covered you well. He shouldn't have found you." Nelissa was stunned and frowned. "I don't know. He didn't reveal it."
Zayden looked at Nelissa. She lowered her head slightly and furrowed her thin brows. She was right next to him. His face suddenly softened. "Does he know who you are?"
Nelissa shook her head. She didn't know what was going on in Sean's mind at all. He couldn't even hear a word of her explanation. He was sensitive and violent. She was afraid of this man! "Ding." The elevator went down to the first floor. There were not many patients in the private hospital. In addition, it was almost night, and the clinic was closed, so there were fewer people. There were several luxury cars parked in front of the large hospital.
Han Penelope helped Mikaelson get in the car and got in with her head down. Donald and Norah were in another luxury car. Mikaelson asked Edward to drive with him, so Julian had to drive away.
Looking at the darkening sky, Edward suddenly turned around and caught Nelissa in the hospital not far behind him in an instant. Her eyes were tightly intertwined, and she slowly stopped. She couldn't walk a few meters away from him and couldn't stand beside him. At this moment, she felt that the distance between her and Edward was very far.
"Ying," Mikaelson called him in the car. It was dark, and the old man already had Old Hua, so his eyesight was poor. "Are you still not leaving?"
It was as if Edward's feet were rooted to the ground. He really didn't want to leave. Nelissa was looking at him pitifully, and he wouldn't misunderstand her again. This time, the person she needed was him, and the person she loved was him, not Zayden.
"Let's go." Edward's voice was very low and deep. He seemed to be sighing, but he was also sighing.
He raised his hand and pointed to Nelissa's watch on his wrist, indicating that he should go and find her as soon as he finished his family business! Wait for him obediently.
Edward got in the car and closed the door. The driver started the luxury car and left. Han Penelope, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked very bad. She had just seen Nelissa and her uncle... looking at each other reluctantly, followed by Zayden.
Could she have seen wrongly? That's ridiculous. How could my uncle and Nelissa...
Penelope suddenly felt dizzy. She remembered that she had suspected Nelissa's relationship with her uncle before.
Nelissa watched as Edward left and slowly walked to the entrance of the hospital. She let the wind blow and let her mood slowly calm down. She wanted to take a taxi home, but Zayden insisted on seeing her off. He held her fingertips in his hands and tugged at the entrance of the hospital.
"Don't break free from me." Zayden lowered his head and looked at Nelissa. His fingers gripped her fingertips tightly, preventing her from acting tough. "I'll give you a ride. I have something to tell you. We need to talk." "What are you talking about?" Nelissa looked up at him.
"Mine, yours, and Anna," Zayden said slowly. He tightened his grip on her and moved closer to her, wanting to hug her. In the past five years, he was about to forget the wonderful feeling of hugging her. She was so beautiful that she could save him.
Nelissa's heart skipped a beat when she heard Anna's name. She looked at Zayden in disbelief. What did he mean...
Suddenly, two dazzling lights shone on Nelissa and Zayden, which was very dazzling. Nelissa subconsciously turned her head sideways and reached out to block. Zayden reacted faster. He raised one hand to cover Nelissa's face, and held Nelissa with the other hand to retreat to the hospital. He was in a very dangerous state. He was a gang member, and he had been through a period of time to fight and kill.
"Nelissa!" Jolene pressed the horn in the car, closed the window, and stretched out his head to wake her.
Jolene's car stopped at the entrance of the hospital as he glared at Nelissa.
"Z... Jolene." Nelissa immediately took a deep breath and felt guilty.
"Do you know that you'll scare me to death if I don't see anyone for a whole day? You're already an adult. Before you go there, can't you give me a call or tell the people around you? You suddenly disappeared. Do you want to go missing?" Jolene was very angry. He unlocked his seat belt and angrily got off the car. He even wanted to scold Nelissa. He had searched for her for an entire day, but she took a leave to look for her after hearing the news at noon!
Nelissa lowered her head and didn't dare to breathe heavily. When Jolene was angry, he couldn't be interrupted. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to remember her throughout the night. He wouldn't be able to explain until he cooled down. He wouldn't be able to listen to her no matter what she said.
"Who are you?" Jolene stared warily at Zayden beside Nelissa. He noticed that there was a bit of intimacy between the two of them, so he held Nelissa in his arms!
Zayden retracted his hand and looked at the back seat of the car.
"Mom!" After Nathan in the car, Jolene was so angry that he forgot about the twins. The two babies finally unlocked their locks, opened the door themselves, and jumped out of the car...
