The little nurse’s words were all but brushed aside as Edward Ford strutted into the ward where Elena Bush was ……
“Mr Ford!?”
auntie Julie jumped up from Elena Bush’s bedside with a start, unable to hide her surprise and horror at the sight of him.
Edward Ford gave her a suspicious glance, and a cold look burst out of his eyes, “What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to leave a long time ago!?”
“I ……”
auntie Julie stammered, surprisingly unsure of what to say for a moment.
“Say it!” Edward Ford growled lowly, looking at her warily, “What are you trying to do by staying here without permission?”
“Mr Ford!” auntie Julie fell to her knees in fear, “I’m just worried about Miss Elena, that’s why I sneaked in to see her.
“Really?”
“A thousand percent true!” auntie Julie held up her hand in an oath without saying a word, “I promise, every word I say is true, and if there’s a single word of deceit to Mr Ford, I’ll be damned to death!”
“Well.”
The little woman on the bed wrinkled her brow, seemingly annoyed by the argument.
“Get out!” Edward Ford glared at her and snarled.
auntie Julie’s whole body shivered involuntarily and her hands and feet went cold, “Mr Ford ……”
She gritted her teeth and looked nervous, “I, I am really worried about Miss Elena, please just let me stay and take care of her, besides, I have given birth before, I know how to take care of pregnant women, and Miss Elena only approves of me, she has just finished giving birth, there is no way she doesn’t need care ……”
What auntie Julie said made sense.
But Edward Ford’s heart was tinged with suspicion and he didn’t believe her.
auntie Julie saw this and immediately grabbed his trouser leg and tensed up, “Mr. Ford, I swear, there is absolutely no one who knows how to take care of Miss Elena better than I. Besides, Miss Elena originally rejected the Fords’ people, if you arrange for the Fords’ maid, then Miss Elena will definitely be unhappy, but if you just find a carer, I am afraid you will also worry ……”
Worried that it was someone Logan Brown had arranged.
auntie Julie’s comment hit the nail on the head of what Edward Ford was most worried about at the moment.
“Mr. Ford!” auntie Julie’s mournful gaze fell on him, laced with a lot of expectation.
The tight grip on his trouser leg tightened silently, as if he would not let go if he said no.
“Let go!” Edward Ford lowered his eyes and just a cold glare made her immediately let go of his hand.
auntie Julie trembled and curled up in front of him, not daring to say a word, while the little woman who had been asleep in the hospital bed was woken up in the end, her brow furrowing abruptly and opening slowly the next second.
“Who?”
Elena Bush’s head was heavy, she subconsciously touched her side, the person who had been sleeping beside her had long since left, even the warmth of the blanket had long since gone, and she didn’t know when she had left after she had fallen asleep.
A flash of resignation flashed by, too quick for anyone to catch.
“Miss Elena!” auntie Julie couldn’t care less about Edward Ford being here at this point, wiping her face quickly, then scrambling up on the floor and flinging herself at the bedside with glee, “Miss Elena, you’re awake?”
Elena Bush’s mind was pulled back and she looked up to meet a pair of familiar eyes.
There was even a flash of something different in her heart, a deeper meaning caught in the bottom of her eyes that made it impossible to see through.
“Miss Elena!?” auntie Julie spoke again, still the same husky, unpleasant voice that made her familiar and repulsive.
“What are you doing here?” Elena Bush frowned tightly, slightly displeased.
auntie Julie was not foolish to listen to her, and easily heard the repulsion in her words, and at once tightened her grip on the back of her hand and lowered her voice, “Miss Elena, is this because you don’t want to see me?”
“You think I want to see ……”
“Miss Elena!”
auntie Julie’s voice sank, giving her another flash of familiarity, as if she had heard that voice some time ago.
“Ahem!” auntie Julie cleared her throat quickly, “Miss Elena, if I leave then Edward Ford will just arrange for more people to watch you, at that point would you rather have a few people watching your words and actions or do you want me to stay by your side alone?”
“……”
Elena Bush suddenly fell silent, her mind constantly estimating the feasibility of that.
When auntie Julie saw her hesitation, she could not help but grin immediately, “Miss Elena, I know that I am responsible for this incident, but I promise that from now on, I will never let any accident happen to you again, and I will protect you and the baby!”
“The baby!?”
Edward Ford was suddenly reminded of the existence of a child.
Elena Bush looked at his swiftly sinking face, her heart thumped and she immediately raised her guard, “Edward Ford, I gave birth to the baby, you have no right to take it away from me, it’s mine!”
“Elena ……”
Edward Ford smiled at her in a friendly way, “Take it easy, I haven’t said what I’m going to do, and besides, I haven’t said what I’m going to do to the baby.”
Elena Bush put up a prickly guard against him, not letting up in the slightest.
He hadn’t done anything yet, but before that she had seen first-hand the extent to which he could go berserk.
She thought that if it hadn’t been for her accident, if it hadn’t been for the presence of he assistant, she would have been killed by him, without hesitation!
“Elena ……” Edward Ford was a little distressed by her reaction, “Don’t be afraid, I really didn’t mean to hurt you, it was just an accident, an accident ……”
He hadn’t meant to, let alone intended to.
He now knows that he was wrong and that he shouldn’t have done that.
Edward Ford was as helpless as a child, and he stepped forward cautiously to try to reassure her, only to be met with an increasingly cold look from Elena Bush.
She laughed out loud at the corners of her mouth, “Edward Ford, take back that hypocritical face, I’m sick to death of looking at it!”
No one would do something hurtful and then desperately try to explain it and keep repeating that they didn’t mean it, that it had nothing to do with them ……
If it had been once, she could have accepted it and listened to it wholeheartedly.
But ……
They both knew in their hearts that this was not the first time Edward Ford had done something like this, and it was not the first time he had tried to hurt her, or even to destroy her!
