Chapter 75: Seeking help in the Streets
Dave's lips twitched with surprise. Only Ophelia, who dared to be so bold, she seemed to pat the puppy in her family.
After Dave made sure she's gone, Dave closed the door and returned to Alan's bed, "Alan, Olive.....Miss Steele has accepted your bank card.”
"Well, I see.” Alan closed his eyes, he said quietly, and he looked more tired for a moment.
"Alan, may I ask...” Dave watched his face carefully.
"Go ahead."
"I think Olive, she doesn't look like a money-hungry woman. She seemed to be hiding something about her by accepting the bank card you gave her."
It wasn't just him who felt this way. Alan thought in his mind.
Actually, woman bled, not only when she had sex for the first time. It was just that he hadn't thought of it at that moment. He didn't know for a moment.
Alan's eyes became dark. Olive, you had better not lie to me.
If she was trying to cheat him, was she trying to cheat him for more money, or was she really trying to hide something from him?
Alan felt his dead heart suddenly coming alive again.
In the vast sea of humanity, he was looking for someone. His chances of finding her were slim. Thus, with so little hope of finding her, he could not miss the slightest chance.
"Maybe I need to go to Luo city again.”
Dave opened his mouth a few times. He seemed to want to saying something, but he hesitated. Alan got out of bed. He went to the window. The warm sun shone on his straight body, "is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Dave felt ashamed, even his subtle expression was noticed by his boss. The boss was really with a keen eye. "I'm afraid you won't like it."
Alan turned around and his deep eyes looked at Dave, "please say."
There is a kind of man, born with an aura. Though he said only a few words placidly, it made people dare not ignore what he said, and it also made people obey him involuntarily.
Dave forced himself to say, "Alan, I don't know if you've ever wondered what Ophelia would do if you found that girl. Or what about Ophelia who is now your fiancée?"
It's a real and tough question. Alan answered after a moment's silence, "I've got plans.”
For his girl, if she was forced to leave him, he would never do her any harm. But if she dared to deceive him for so many years, he would never let her go.
When Dave wanted to say something more, Alan said, "you find two men for me."
If the boss wanted to ask him to do something, Dave could only wait for the boss to tell him what to do.
"One is the landlord of a small yard at no. 15, Qingzheng lane, Hehu pond, near Jiangcheng University. The other one is Dr. David Kendrick, who operated on my eyes."
His purpose was self-evident. How could Dave not understand? Dave said, "okay, I'll get in touch with both of them.”
Perhaps it was the quickest way. Although, after so many years, he didn't know whether they remembered her or not, he had to try.
After Dave left, Alan went to the ward next door. As soon as he opened the door, he heard a burst of laughter. He saw three people sitting around the bed: Aoba, Ada Hoyle and Ophelia.
Somehow Ophelia managed to make Alan's mother grin all the time on the bed. When she saw him coming, she hastily seated him in her place. Thus, he and his mother could be a little closer. She brought another chair and sat down beside him. Seeing how thoughtful she was, Alan's mother liked her more.
Alan smiled and said, "mom, you look better today.”
Alan's mother sighed, "I'm old, and it's up to god to see how long I live."
Ophelia said angrily, "don't talk nonsense. Aunt, you will live to be a hundred years old.”
Ada took her mother's hand and said, "don't worry, mom. The hospital is now looking for a replacement heart for your actively. Moreover, with the ability of the Hoyle family now, we will be able to find a suitable replacement heart for you."
Alan's mother patted her hand and said, "don't try to comfort me. I know how difficult it is, since the hospital hasn't been able to find a suitable replacement heart for me for so many years. I've lived most of my life anyway, and I can go to heaven to see your father. I'm just worried about the three of you."
Ophelia smiled and said, "that's right, auntie. You must live well. Otherwise, the three of them in the Hoyle family will have absolutely no respect for the law and they will be no longer in charge. Thus, you have to live well, and discipline the three of them. As long as you don't discipline them, they will stir up trouble.”
Aoba Hoyle wasn't happy and he said, "hey, future sister-in-law, your future husband seems to be the biggest trouble maker. Watch out that he eats you to the bone.”
She wanted to be eaten by him, but Alan, he never had sex with her, even she was trying to seduce him. He showed no sexual desire for her. Sometimes she wondered if it was because she wasn't pretty or attractive enough, but in the eyes of all her friends, she was universally acknowledged as a beauty.
She looked at this with a woman's intuition, and she didn't think this was a good sign.
Her fingers bent slightly at the thought that he still loved that woman. Fortunately, he didn’t know yet that Olive was the woman he had been looking for and she would never let him know about it. Alan's mother's eyes lingered for a moment on every's face, "I was worried about you, all of you. The oldest one is a workaholic who spends his days at work. He doesn't have time to get married, so I can't have my grandson. The youngest one doesn't want to fall in love. The one in the middle is flying through the air every day, from country to country. If the hospital hadn't given me a critical ill notice this time, I wouldn't have been able to get all three of you together. Ophelia was the only one willing to accompany me every day."
Alan's mother looked at Ophelia more kindly. Ophelia glanced quietly at Alan, but she could not see any change in his face.
He always looked like this, his thoughts as deep as the sea.
But that didn't matter. They would soon get married, and he would soon belong entirely to her. Olive, you should stay away from our lives forever. You'd better stay in Luo city and live your own life. Ophelia thought in her mind.
