“Loved you, thought about you, missed you, and just suffered through it.” Bonnie Williams looked into her eyes steadily, “I’m sure it wasn’t easy for you abroad, but Neal’s days were never better than yours.”
Andrea Jones was slightly stunned, and her fine eyes darted to look at Bonnie Williams.
“You must be wondering why he married Penny Brown. it was more of a premeditated kidnapping by the elders than a revenge on his part.” Bonnie Williams took a deep breath and mentioned her brother’s past with some heartache, “Back then, my mother, aunt and grandmother, knelt before him and begged him to marry Penny Brown and save my uncle – as you should know, there was a time when Klein Williams and Ashley Williams were in a relatively low mood, and my uncle was almost sent to the disciplinary committee. If Neal does not marry Penny Brown, he will be the sinner of the whole family – a crime he can not afford. You should also be able to perceive your heart more clearly than anyone else. He loved you, but had to marry Penny Brown.”
Andrea Jones’ heart swells with emotion and she can’t speak.
“There’s something that I just heard from my mom the other day, too.” Bonnie Williams continued.
Andrea Jones looked at her with hazel eyes. Bonnie Williams laughed a little, “Andrea Jones, how many women would envy you … if Penny Brown said anything to hurt you, you should really forgive her, if I were her, I’d be mad with envy.”
Bonnie Williams said, “In the past two years, Neal Williams has never touched her, not once! Andrea Jones, a man who doesn’t love you to the bone can’t do that.”
Andrea Jones’ jaw dropped and tears of emotion were already flowing in her eyes.
“The two years of marriage are a prison and a shackle for him. Andrea, although I know my request at this moment is very selfish, who would like to be the third party in the marriage? But, I hope you can give him even a hint of comfort. He is already tired enough …”
“Where does he get his shots?” Andrea Jones asked, her voice slightly hoarse.
Even if Penny Brown is beside him now, she wants to go see him, just to see. He has been holding on for her, tormented, hard, but, she actually still misunderstood him.
Bonnie Williams let the nurse lead her to the injection room. Looking at the back, Bonnie Williams smiled with relief. From today on, could Neal really see the sun through the clouds?
This is a luxurious injection room, for distinguished patients. Neal Williams has a piece of gauze on the corner of his forehead and his arm is wrapped in gauze and hanging from his neck. His right foot was resting on a stool, and his third toe was bandaged.
Andrea Jones was so distressed that her eyes turned red, but she forced her tears back into her eyes and walked in gently.
He was sleeping on his side, with cold sweat on his forehead and pale lips occasionally murmuring broken words that she could not hear.
She approached before Ingram Gray, who was flipping through a newspaper on one side, looked up. It was no surprise to see her.
“It’s been a long time.” Ingram Gray said.
Andrea Jones then realized that the person Bonnie Williams said was accompanying Neal Williams for the injection was not Penny Brown at all. smiled at Ingram Gray, said hello, and had uncontrollably dropped his eyes on Neal Williams.
“Is he okay?” Her voice was soft and gentle, afraid of waking him up.
Ingram Gray stood up and offered her the seat, “Not so good, the burn is bad.”
Her heart, again, was tight. Immediately reach out towards his forehead to probe over, indeed some hot. The first thing you need to do is to get a fever shot, don’t worry, the fever will go down after the shot. Don’t look at his body wrapped in a lot of gauze, but it’s not too serious, just twisted the tendons. The doctor said it is okay to go back to recuperate.”
Although the words say so, but, she hung up the heart still did not put down. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
“Andrea …” the broken murmur spilled from her lips, and this time she heard it clearly. Thinking he was awake, she hurried over to him and spoke softly to him, “I’m here. I’m still here …”
However, he did not make a sound again, but just held on to her like this.
Ingram Gray shook his head, “He’s not waking up. It’s been like this, feverish and confused, calling your name. bonnie Williams said he was afraid he’d really go crazy if he didn’t call you again.”
The tears Andrea Jones had held back for so long came rushing out at once. The burning tears, falling on the back of his hand, slowly trickled down to his skin.
Touched, heartbroken, apologetic, all kinds of emotions mixed together, so that she could not control her emotions. How glad she was that she didn’t impulsively get on a plane and leave this place, leave this man who loved her to the bone and whom she also loved dearly.
Watching this scene, Ingram Gray had the sense not to interrupt again. He gently closed the door and went out, telling the nurse to wait until called before entering.
Let him hold his hand tightly, she opened her five fingers also and his entwined. He fell asleep, his head tilted to her thin shoulder. Because of the high fever, the breath is a little hot, sprayed in the nape of her neck, so she felt that even the heart is hot. His weight is a little heavy for her, but at this moment she is enjoying this moment of being close to each other. She tilted her head, leaned her face gently on his head, lowered her eyes, and looked at his weak cheeks with pain and tenderness.
The whole space, incredibly quiet. The two of them were so close that they could feel the warmth flowing between them. Andrea Jones didn’t know if he was awake or not, but she only vaguely saw him lift his eyes and look at her. However, nothing was said, just a tighter grip on her hand, and closed his eyes again to sleep. This time, he slept particularly peacefully, and his breathing became even.
The nurse reassured her that his condition was not that bad, and Andrea Jones’ heart finally dropped a little.
After a while, the needles were all done, and he still didn’t wake up after the injection was drawn.
“Neal Williams?” called Andrea Jones softly and tentatively, touching her forehead with her hand and feeling relieved that it wasn’t so hot anymore. He did not move, Andrea Jones slightly sideways, facing him, before opening her mouth to call him, he suddenly opened his arms and embraced her.
Andrea Jones was stunned when the warmth of heat came to her, making her nose sour all of a sudden. He closed his eyes and spoke in a dull voice in her ear, “Let me hug …”
He held her so tightly like a rogue child, as if she would disappear from his arms if he loosened his grip just a little, and Andrea Jones rested her chin greedily on his shoulder and asked softly, “Back to bed?”
Neal Williams laughed lowly, as if he was very satisfied. Listening to his low laugh, Andrea Jones also felt so happy mood. Just …
“You’re hurt like this, and you can still smile?” She was heartbroken.
“Yeah … I’m hurt like this, there’s no way I can drive home.” He spoke with some childishness, sounding like pampering. andrea jones’s heart, long soft into a ball, embraced him, whispered: “I’ll take you back.”
So …
Finally, Neal Williams was helped out of the hospital by Andrea Jones. Although he only hurt a toe on his foot, walking was still somewhat affected. His Hummer was hit and taken to the dealership, and Bonnie Williams drove him over in a light BMW. After helping him into the passenger seat, both men were already in a hot sweat.
Along the way, neither of them said much. He didn’t ask her why she stayed, and she didn’t ask him about the past two years. Both people seem to be enjoying the sudden proximity of the moment, the quiet atmosphere, you can feel each other’s heartbeat.
Without asking for a destination, Andrea Jones drove the car directly to the apartment. After her last visit to the apartment, she could be sure there was no sign of Penny Brown there.
“Where’s the door key?” When they reached the door, Andrea Jones assisted him.
“It’s in the pocket.” Neal Williams said, and Andrea Jones’s other hand, which was free, naturally went for the keys. The soft hand thrust into the pocket of his pants, fumbling carelessly, through the thin fabric, soft and burning warmth, burning Neal Williams deep eyes. He reached out and took her hand in his, “Don’t touch it!”
The voice is dull and the eyes are burning.
Andrea Jones’ heart jumped and she immediately blushed and withdrew her hand. Neal Williams also seemed a little embarrassed, silently took the key out and opened the door. and Andrea Jones blushed and helped him in and sat him on the sofa.
“Are you thirsty? I’ll go get you a glass of water.” His bloodless lips were a little dry and cracked from the fever, and Andrea Jones turned to get some water when Neal Williams reached out and took her by the hand. She turned around, met his deep gaze, her heart jumped, and in the next instant, he pulled her back onto the couch and into the crook of his arm.
Almost touching his tied arm, she was terrified. Instead, he turned sideways as if nothing had happened, face to face with her.
His eyes were deeply fixed on her, as if he was still confirming that she was beside him until this moment.
Long fingers, unable to help themselves, slid onto her face. The heat of the fingertips was startling, and she held her breath as she locked eyes with him and heard him say hoarsely, “I thought you would not be able to wait for me before you left.”
“I didn’t leave …” Andrea Jones gently took his hand, “I didn’t want to just walk away without asking what I wanted to ask.”
Neal Williams nodded lightly and moved down to lean closer to her, “Then you ask.”
Andrea Jones cocked her head for a moment and looked at him, “Do you want me to stay?”
Neal Williams pursed his lips and didn’t answer, just stared at her with a burning intensity. Andrea Jones, with her heart clear, suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction, and her fingers dug into his palm of their own accord, letting him hold her own.
“Second question.”
“You ask.” His eyes had tolerance.
“I thought you were divorcing Penny Brown? Really?” Well, at this moment, would she look like a mistress who forced her lover to divorce?
Neal Williams’ eyes floated slightly, with faint traces of laughter under them, “You care about that? I thought, like Sammy Jones said, that even if I got divorced, you wouldn’t want to stay for me anymore.”
Andrea Jones pursed her lips, and then, rested her head gently on his shoulder. She was so sad to learn of his marriage. The first thing she wanted to do was to hide in New York, but she knew that one day she would come back. You will not be able to resist the torment in your heart and come back to see.
“Neal Williams … I don’t want to be any kind of third party. But, more than that, I don’t want to leave.” She confessed good-naturedly.
With a slight shock, Neal Williams wrapped one arm around her and his voice darkened, “I’m sorry I aggravated you.”
Immediately shaking her head, she didn’t like him blaming himself and feeling guilty like this, “I don’t feel aggrieved.”
Neal Williams played with the ends of her hair, breathing in the scent of her presence greedily, “I’ll take care of Penny Brown, in less than two months.”
“I believe you.”
Two people hold each other tightly, so close that they can hear each other’s heartbeat and clearly feel each other’s feelings.
