Andrea Jones’s heart stirred tightly, stirring up the internal organs all coiled together.
She took a deep breath, holding back the tears in her eyes, and said, “Coming here so late, you must have something to say to me, right?”
“Yes, I forgot if you didn’t tell me. Didn’t you just ask me where Neal is now?” Christina Sanchez said as she opened her handbag and pulled out a stack of photos.
“Here, take this!”
The photo was handed to him and Andrea Jones didn’t take it, only looked at Christina Sanchez suspiciously, “What is this?”
Christina Sanchez lifted her lips, “Wouldn’t it be interesting to see?”
Glancing at Christina Sanchez, she picked up the photos. Looking at them one by one, her hands gradually shook. The look from the initial shock, unbelievable, gradually turned into disappointment and sadness …
In the photo, it’s none other than Neal Williams. no, there’s another one … Penny Brown!
They walked side by side, the golden morning sun enveloping them, they looked so harmonious.
And …
Kissing.
Kissing …
He kissed Penny Brown!
Heart, sinking again and again. Andrea Jones felt suffocated, and the sensation of spinning around made her lose her footing.
So …
He has been with Penny Brown for the past two days?
When she needed him the most and wanted to see him the most, he was with another woman. Let her worry and torment at home …
She suddenly wanted to laugh.
However, the corners of the eyes are haloed with tears.
“As you can see, the two of them are the real match.” Christina Sanchez watched her reaction with satisfaction, stood up and looked at her again, as if because the hurt on her face was too strong, Christina Sanchez’s face eased a little and added: “Andrea Jones, you can’t blame me for not approving of you two being together. It’s only because you’re Charleen Davis’ daughter! I can’t accept my rival’s daughter hanging around me all the time, and besides …”
She took a deep breath and her voice cleared up a bit, “You still look so much like her …”
After saying that, she picked up her handbag and left. Looking at the back, Andrea Jones suddenly let out a light laugh, Christina Sanchez was surprised to look back at her, “What are you laughing at?”
“I laugh at your lack of self-confidence like that. My mom is gone, but now you’re still thinking about her, afraid you can’t tether your husband!”
Her words caused Christina Sanchez to freeze, her face changing again and again. She wanted to say something to refute her, but, in the end, she couldn’t say a word and gave her a warning glare, turned her head in exasperation and walked away.
The door was thrown shut with a heavy thud. The heavy sound reverberated in the empty room, as if smashing on her heart. She stood there dumbfounded, the photo in her hand had been scattered all over the floor. Through the haze of tears, the photo of the kiss, she saw it extraordinarily clearly. Like a sharp iron nail, inch by inch nailed into her heart.
Her feet went weak and she fell to the ground in a mess.
The floor, cold to the bone …
Heart, also cool as if a layer of ice …
Perhaps, it can never be melted again …
I don’t know how long she squatted on the ground before her body’s strength slowly returned. One by one, she picked up the photos before she slowly got up holding her belly. Woodenly walk back to the room, woodenly open the computer, calmly knock down the application for admission.
All done, she writes her name heavily on the abortion procedure request the doctor hands her.
Hands, some shaking.
The nib of the pen scratched a broken mark on the paper, just like … the wound in her heart at the moment …
No!
The wound in the heart is a hundred times heavier than this, a thousand times heavier!
The other side.
The old man’s illness came too suddenly, and after taking the medicine did not work, he was still unconscious. No one dared to slow down, nor did they dare to mention Neal Williams and Penny Brown again, they just had to send the old man to the hospital. Fortunately, the old man was prepared early on and had a car hidden next door.
Upon arrival at the hospital, he was immediately admitted to the emergency room.
The old man was finally wheeled out of the emergency room at midnight, Wolfe Williams and Shirley Jones couldn’t stay up and went back first, leaving only Neal Williams and Ashley Williams in. neal Williams wanted to call back, but when he saw that the time was already 4:00 a. m., he had to give up. Anyway, from that damn place out, tomorrow morning back is it.
After staying up for another two hours, it was getting lighter. Neal Williams said hello to the old lady, who was red with anxiety.
Neal Williams pulled Ashley Williams out of the hospital room and said, “Second Brother has something to do, I have to go first, I will see Grandpa later. You stay here and talk to Grandma, don’t let her fall down with sadness. You’re tired after a long night, so go lie down in the next bed if you can’t stay up.”
Ashley Williams nodded, “I know, I haven’t been back for two days, that sister must be anxious to die, you hurry back.”
Neal Williams laughed and patted her head, and without pausing, he turned briskly and walked away.
Neal Williams returned to his apartment as fast as he could, but it was still early, and even Sister Chen hadn’t come to work yet. He only stepped into the elevator and looked at the flashing numbers, the corners of his lips could not help but raise. Three nights had not returned here, but it seemed like a century had passed. You can imagine how worried she must have been.
Gently pushing open the door of the apartment, smelling that familiar scent belonging to her, the heart immediately had a sense of belonging, a sense of belonging to home. This is what she brings to herself, with her in, there is this warmth.
With a slight smile, he took off the suit he was wearing and casually put it on the sofa. I wanted to go to the bedroom to see her first, but when I looked down and saw two sheets side by side on the low table, I walked over curiously.
Pick up one of them to see, quickly browse the English on it, see the end, the face has been very hard to see.
Notice of admission. And, a school in New York, USA!
So, all this time she’s been studying hard just to attend this school? The last time she was tapping away at the computer, she was also busy with New York? So, all this time, she has actually been planning to leave him and leave here!
If he hadn’t found out now, was she just going to keep him in the dark like a fool until she left in silence?!
Dali grabbed another piece of paper and saw a few big words at the top, and his face went white. Then sweeping to the following showy but seemingly spontaneous signature, he instantly gritted his teeth. I just feel a rage coiled in my chest, rushing through his limbs and bones, like a swift lion, rushing to leap out of the gate.
Not caring that it was still early, he took a big step towards the closed door and threw it open with a bang.
Unexpected …
At this moment, she surprisingly did not lie on the bed, but squatting on the floor, will she those precious like books one by one to collect in the luggage box.
She made plans to leave? And, to leave right now?!
A flash of pain, into his eyes, Neal Williams step over, reached out and yanked her up. Because of the anger, because of the anger, but also because of the heartache, his movements are a little rough at the moment. The veins on his arms were throbbing.
“You want to just leave?” Neal Williams questioned through clenched teeth, staring at her, eyes burning, even his voice trembling, “Andrea Jones, how … can you be so cruel?”
Each word, unusually heavy, carries deep pain.
His hand was vigorously clasped, painful as if it was going to break, Andrea Jones did not even frown, just calmly looked at him, calmly spoke: “You let go!”
Unusually calm, even, somewhat cold-hearted!
The more such an attitude, the more it chills Neal Williams.
“You don’t even want to explain a word to me?” Is he that unimportant in her eyes?
He looked at her closely in indignation, cupping the two sheets of paper in his other hand and waving them in the air, questioning through clenched teeth, “Tell me, what are these?!”
“You don’t know English or you don’t know China?” Andrea Jones shook his hand away harshly, “One is my admission notice and one is my abortion application!”
“Say it again!” His eyes were red, staring at her with a deadly glare, even the veins on his forehead were jumping.
Such Neal Williams, is Andrea Jones has never seen, but … at the moment, her heart has been chilled through, also when really tired. She gave up … did not want to continue …
“Yes, you heard me right, abortion! This child, I will remove today!” Andrea Jones said stiffly, biting the word ‘miscarriage’ extremely hard.
Neal Williams looked at her with hatred, as if he were looking at a stranger he didn’t know at all. His lips even turned white as he accused her hatefully, “You’re cruel! How cruel!”
With that, he reached out and tore the abortion application into pieces, as if that wasn’t enough, and grabbed it into a handful and threw it at her in a negative manner. Her eyes glared at her as if to swallow her in one gulp, “Andrea Jones, you want to take away my child, next life!”
Pieces of paper, scattered on her shoulders, stuck to her clothes, fell to the ground …
Pale waving in the air …
Like her heart. It has long since shattered into pieces, forlornly scattered in lonely corners, never to be sewn together again …
She was on the verge of losing her footing, but she met his eyes stubbornly, “Who are you to ask me to keep your child?” Neal Williams, you have no right to have my child!”
The hatred and annoyance that came out of her eyes made him shudder.
She sneered, “Six years ago, because of you, my father left! Six years later, my mother’s condition took a sharp turn for the worse because of you! And my sister … almost got into trouble with me because of you! You tell me, why should I risk the world to give you a child? I was stupid … because I didn’t listen to my mother, and that’s how I got to this point!”
Neal Williams couldn’t refute a word she said. He was an unforgivable sinner! But he loved her! He couldn’t let her go!
He lowered his eyes and looked at the enrollment letter, and a painful dark aura crossed his eyes. If he tore this up as well, there would be no way for her to do the admissions process again!
“No tearing!” Seeing right through his scheme, she screamed, “Neal Williams, you can’t rip it off!”
“As I said, I’ll let you go only if you give me the baby without any problems!” He gritted his teeth, each word popping out like a stone from between his lips. A month to report, so she was already planning to get rid of the baby to go to school? How cruel!
“If you tear it up … I will hate you for the rest of my life!” She trembled, uttering each word with clarity, heaviness, and determination, her reddened eyes fixed on him.
Neal Williams had a shock.
Like a sharp blade that plunges into one’s heart.
He loves her so much and wants to protect her with all his might, even though he has failed everyone in his family, but in the end he still can’t get it back?
The fingers holding the piece of paper, each one taut and straight.
Neal Williams, with a little force, she won’t be able to walk!
A voice, calling to him in his heart, compelled him. Long fingers, trembling, a small crack in the thin sheet of paper.
