He hugged her tightly and sat against the bed, playing with the ends of her hair with intent, enjoying the rare warmth. The air still reverberates with the charming factor, making the heart tremble.
Right here in this moment …
The door to the ward was thrown open from the outside with a bang.
Neal Williams moved quickly, grabbed the covers and held her in place.
I was so annoyed that I looked up to see it, but I was stunned by the person in the doorway.
Bonnie Williams?
It’s so late and she’s actually here.
But …
She’s out of sorts!
Those eyes, hollow as if soulless. The look was dull and wooden.
Looking at them, she remained expressionless and only dropped the sentence, “You have two minutes, I have something to ask you!”
With that, she turned around and walked out again.
No, rather than walking, she was floating. The swaying body was so weak that it seemed as if it would collapse at any moment.
“She … seems out of sorts.” Even Andrea Jones noticed that she was out of sorts.
“Hmm.” Neal Williams was certain that her current situation had to do with Ingram Gray – Ryo-mori was supposed to be there today. He got up, fished up Andrea Jones’ clothes and quickly put them on for her, and put his own clothes back together, “I’ll go check.”
Get out of bed, pull open the door and walk out quickly.
Doorway.
Bonnie Williams stood there frozen.
The light of the promenade is unusually dim, shining on her, her whole person seems to be shrouded in gloom, the shaky body and bare feet look so slim and desolate.
The original alabaster-like toes are now worn and bleeding.
Did she walk all this way?
Neal Williams watched with horror.
“Bonnie Williams …,” he called out tentatively.
It was the first time he had seen her in such a disheveled state. In his impression, she had never been the proud Miss Williams family. Even if she had been repeatedly rejected and hurt by Liang Chen, she had never been like this at this moment.
As if, all thoughts are lost …
Bonnie Williams slowly lifted her head and looked at him.
Those eyes were so confused that they couldn’t find focus.
The heart tightened, he took off the hospital gown he was wearing and gathered her trembling shoulders.
As if finally finding support, Bonnie Williams’ legs went limp and she almost fell on top of him.
The tip of my nose is sore, my eyes are swollen, but I can’t shed a single tear at this moment.
Tears, long shed …
She was fragile and vulnerable, and Neal Williams held her carefully, still feeling the shivers running through her body.
“What’s wrong?” He asked worriedly, his brow knitting up.
Bonnie Williams painfully grabbed his arm, because too much force, the fingertips are oozing pale to.
“He … got married …”
The word ‘marriage’ seemed like it took all her strength and made her ache.
He froze for a moment, as if he didn’t understand her headless words, and looked at her with a tilted head, “Who are you talking about?”
“… Ingram Gray.”
He froze.
Frown.
“Sister, did you make a mistake?”
How is it possible to get married?
Brothers for decades, how could they not know about something as big as marriage? Moreover, these years, for him, Bonnie Williams has been close to him, and have not seen any suspicious butterflies and bees, who can he marry?
“Ingram Gray is married! He’s married! Married! He said it himself …” she murmured, over and over again, as if she were saying it to him, and more as if she were forcing herself to accept the cruel truth.
Neal Williams was shocked speechless. the look on Bonnie Williams’ face was no joke.
“Even you don’t know, or … are you hiding it from me as well as he is?” Bonnie Williams bit her lip to death.
“If I had known, I wouldn’t have let you still dive in head first!” Neal Williams explained. Damn it! All he wanted to do now was to take Ingram Gray out and ask him a good question.
Something must have gone wrong!
Bonnie Williams snorted mockingly, “I’m the one who’s being stupid …”
As Neal Williams often says, it was she who willingly offered her heart to him like an idiot to step on it.
So humble, so trample yourself …
I just thought that one day, he would suddenly wake up to her importance.
But, now I know that …
All the dreams, are awake and broken …
She can no longer indulge in that either …
…
Bonnie Williams was on the verge of an emotional breakdown, and Neal Williams didn’t dare ask too many questions. Together with Andrea Jones, they managed to put her to sleep in a hospital bed.
She should be too tired of crying, or, after so many years, too tired of loving, and she fell asleep in the end, muddled.
However, even in dreams, it hurts like that.
It was like something was tormenting her, making her toss and turn, and it was hard for Andrea Jones to see her like that.
Her love crumbled, her trust for more than a decade, and it collapsed, so you can imagine how devastating it was for her.
The hand instinctively grips Neal Williams’ hand.
Leaning on his chest, feeling his body heat, Andrea Jones is suddenly very grateful that she can still be held by him like this at this moment.
She so loves to love this feeling, so loves to love him …
“Neal, could there be some kind of misunderstanding between them?”
Neal Williams put one arm around her, his worried eyes still falling on Bonnie Williams with a stony expression.
“Liang Chen said he would give us an explanation.”
Andrea Jones shook her head heartily, “The heart is broken, and the account of the aftermath will not heal Bonnie Williams’ wounds.”
If he had known earlier, Bonnie Williams might have been able to pull out earlier and not have to waste these four years.
But who can guarantee that Bonnie Williams’ heart will move on in these four years?
Over the past ten years, Ingram Gray has become her religion, and now it is not easy to forget him.
…
The following day.
Andrea Jones came home early in the morning.
Charleen Davis’ energy was getting worse and she was getting up later and later.
When she arrived home, Charleen Davis wasn’t up yet, and Sammy Jones had just returned from buying breakfast, munching on a meat loaf and turning on the computer to watch the new case.
She raised her eyes slightly at the sight of Andrea Jones entering the door.
Two people, four eyes facing each other.
Sammy Jones was about to turn his eyes away when Andrea Jones took the initiative and called out, “Sis.”
Frozen for a moment, Sammy Jones’ face eased slightly, “Sit down and eat.”
Obviously not expecting Sammy Jones to pay attention to her, Andrea Jones froze. After that, her expression immediately brightened up, and she pulled out a chair and sat down close to her.
She took a big bite, smiled and said to Sammy Jones, “It’s delicious. Is it still from that breakfast place downstairs? I heard they’re going to turn their storefront in a while, what a shame!”
She rambled on, just as she had in the past. It was as if there had never been any rift between the sisters.
But Sammy Jones is not as brazen as she is. Looking at her sister’s eager look, she was somewhat uncomfortable, brushed aside her mouth and said indifferently, “Just turn it off, it’s not like there are no other breakfast stores.”
“Point taken.” Her cold water, and Andrea Jones didn’t care one bit.
Today, the weather seems to be good.
Sammy Jones looked at her face and thought for a moment, but couldn’t resist saying, “Last night, you were at the hospital?”
After a pause, she added, “I heard he was in a car accident.”
Andrea Jones froze.
Opening his mouth to speak, Sammy Jones had already grunted and spoke, “I didn’t talk to Mom.”
“I don’t care about you and him either.” She continued, not forgetting to lecture with a stern face, “Anyway, you know Mom’s health, you’d better not let her know about these things, and if anything happens to Mom because of you guys, you’re dead!”
Andrea Jones put down the breakfast in her hand and looked at her with a tilted head, “So, what you’re saying is you don’t mind me and him anymore …”
“I’m not qualified!” Sammy Jones cut her off.
The bitterness in her tone made it hard for Andrea Jones, “Sis, you’re entitled. To me, you, Mom, and him are all equally important. I’m sorry …”
Sammy Jones’ expression flickered slightly.
In the end, she added, “It’s not as serious as you think. It’s just a man, since you like him and he likes you, it’s just the two of you, and it has nothing to do with me or any outsiders.”
With that, and without waiting for Andrea Jones to digest her words, she had finished her breakfast, closed her computer, and headed out the door.
“I’m going to work, you stay home with mom if you don’t work today, and then go to the hospital this afternoon. And …” she explained dryly and ably all the way.
Walking to the entrance and changing into fine heels, she remembered something and turned back to her, glaring at her warningly, “David Zhang called and sued you for missing an appointment on short notice! You’d better explain to Mom properly.”
Andrea Jones smiled cheerfully, “It’s okay. I’m sure Mom won’t blame me if I say I went to the hospital.”
“Better!” Sammy Jones ignored her again, closed the door and went out.
Bonnie Williams wouldn’t go back.
The ward, like a turtle shell for her healing, hides here as if she can be temporarily anesthetized and not know the pain.
All day long, she didn’t move, just curled up in her hospital bed, ignoring no one.
Naturally, Neal Williams didn’t dare to kick her out.
Under his nose, at least it was still safe. Out of this door, without someone watching, who knows what a mental breakdown will do to her.
“How is she doing?” Andrea Jones asked Neal Williams in a quiet voice.
It was already afternoon when Andrea Jones arrived at the hospital, and Bonnie Williams didn’t get up to say hello.
“No crying, no talking, no food all day.” The situation was terrible.
Andrea Jones frowned slightly and held out the thermos, “I made chicken soup, should I get her up and eat some?”
Neal Williams shook his head, “She’s having a hard time closing her eyes, let her sleep for a while.”
“Also.”
“Mr. Williams, it’s time to change the medication.” The nurse came in.
Neal Williams sat down on the couch and put the papers down in his hand. Andrea Jones looked at him worriedly and asked the nurse, “Is that a bad cut on his head?”
She wanted to see it and reconfirm it.
She never had a chance to ask yesterday.
As the two tangled in bed, she clearly felt the pain of his wound.
Before the nurse could speak, Neal Williams took the lead and instructed Andrea Jones, “Good girl, go call Garret Miller back for me, he’s been calling for me.”
He was afraid that his wounds would scare her.
Although not a fatal injury, but the wound is not small, but in the operating room stitches.
Andrea Jones read his mind and refused to leave, instead taking his hand and sitting close to him.
“Let me see.” She begged.
Neal Williams was helpless and shook her hand, “It’s kind of hideous. Bonnie Williams was shocked to see it yesterday.”
“I’m not afraid.” Andrea Jones tilted her head and looked at the nurse, “Please.”
The nurse smiled at their hand-in-hand appearance and couldn’t help but say enviously, “The two of you are so affectionate, you look and feel happy.”
Andrea Jones blushes slightly.
Smiled at the nurse.
And Neal Williams looks at her with a doting smile.
When the wound was opened and medicated, Andrea Jones got a good look at the wound on Neal Williams’ head. The scar was carved there as if it were on her heart, and it hurt a little.
Lest she worry more, Neal Williams held back the pain and didn’t say a word. But even so, she still looked worried. He had no choice but to pat her back soothingly: “It’s okay, I’m not in pain.”
“Don’t lie to me.”
He laughed bitterly and pinched the tip of her nose, “I tried to be brave but you revealed it.”
