“I’m in good health, I’m really good.”
Vivian shook her head, wiped the tears from her face, and pretended to be strong in order to get Edward to agree to let her go out and find Ashtyn, she said, “I really can do it, Edward, you trust me, okay?”
No one knows how painful her life has been and how hard it is for her to feel.
Even dreaming of the scene of her child’s death scared her.
“Edward, I know the child is missing and you are not feeling well in your heart. But what about you, you can at least go out every day to look for the child, I can only wait so at home? I’m really not as weak as you think. Really no!”
Vivian held Edward’s hand, looked at him with tears in her eyes, kept shaking her head, and choked back tears.
Adriana, who was standing by, saw Vivian’s appearance and her heart ached like a knife.
Covering his chest several times red eyes, but worried about being Vivian see, so all collected the sad emotions.
“Go ahead if you want to.”
She finally said intolerantly, and then added, “I’m tired and want to go upstairs to rest for a while.”
It’s not that Adriana doesn’t care about Vivian, but she feels very guilty and self-conscious when she sees Vivian’s appearance and doesn’t know how to face Vivian.
The baby is gone, but everyone is afraid to tell Vivian for fear of breaking her heart.
But now it seems that even if it is hidden, it will not change anything.
“Then … I’ll go back first.”
Jenkins couldn’t stand it anymore, and he was worried that if he continued to carry it, he wouldn’t be able to resist telling Vivian the truth.
“You …”
Edward has mixed feelings.
Since the various misunderstandings between him and Vivian were cleared up, he really felt the beauty of love and thought that he could live a happy and simple life with Vivian as long as he gave up the Henderson Family business.
Now it seems that this is not the case.
“Okay, you go ahead.”
He sighed, there was really nothing he could do, “I will arrange for someone to accompany you.”
“Really?”
Vivian stared at him with wide eyes, tears in her eyes, moved. She stepped forward and gave Edward a hand, “Edward, thank you, thank you. If Ashtyn knew that you cared so much about him, he would feel very happy.”
The woman was stuck in his arms, and at that moment, Edward only felt a heart-wrenching pain.
Raising his arms around her, he held her tightly.
Heart: Vivian, I’m sorry, it’s my fault, I wasn’t able to keep our baby, I’m sorry …
What happened to Ashtyn was a blow to Vivian, but it was also a blow to Edward, causing him to doubt himself.
Feeling that I am not capable enough to keep even one child.
Subsequently, arrangements were made for someone to accompany Vivian out to look for the child.
Witnessing the car leaving the villa, several people stood in the living room.
Adriana sad choked hoarse: “Look at her, if she knew the truth … would …”
There were some things she couldn’t say.
Peter put his arm around her shoulders, “Don’t think too much, Vivian is much stronger than we think.”
Everything just needs a process of adaptation.
“I would hope so, I’m afraid that she won’t be able to sustain the blow.”
In any case, that is her good sister, good girlfriend, has already suffered too much alone, Adriana does not want to see her suffer any aggravation.
“Anyone who can withstand a blow must withstand it.”
Edward eyed the direction of the villa entrance, his face gloomy like ink, slightly narrowed pupils filled with killing intent.
Went upstairs and went straight to the study on the second floor.
In the study, he sat down and picked up a dense list of names that sat on the table.
The list is more than two hundred people.
Those people are the people Edward has offended, black and white people on the road have, each of them have strong financial resources, the strength should not be underestimated.
It is really difficult to line up one by one.
Shortly after, the study door opened and Harlee and Peter walked in.
“How’s that, did you screen it out, any targets?”
Harlee stepped forward and inquired.
Edward waggled his eyebrows and gazed at the list for a while, then took a pen and circled the names.
Read each name one by one, even if there is a slight possibility he did not want to let go of the intention.
Eventually, fifty people were circled out of the two hundred.
“The scope has been narrowed down, but fifty people has some difficulty.”
Peter picked up the list and looked at the names written on it, people from home and abroad. And many of them are strong, even in his at least are not a few.
He picked up his phone and made a call to Solomon, “Send you a list of names and send your team to investigate immediately.”
Solomon has a small team of nine people, all of whom are very capable.
“Yes, boss.”
Peter hung up the phone and sent a photo of the list directly to the other party.
And then put the list on the table and said to Edward: “I will investigate about the child, you spend some time with Vivian these days. you … should not fail her.”
You can tell that Edward cares a lot about Vivian.
It’s just that often Edward doesn’t know how to express his emotions, and he doesn’t know how to coax a woman.
This is his weakness.
“I’ll take care of my own child’s business!”
Edward has a fierce face, the whole person is as cold as basalt ice.
“The child is gone, what you need to cherish and protect now is the person who is alive, is Vivian!”
“Yeah, Peter has a point. You are suffering, but Vivian is really quite poor, you can’t let her down again and chill her heart.”
Harlee couldn’t stand it, and followed suit to persuade Edward.
Then added a sentence, “With Peter and I, both can help you investigate. When you find out who is behind the murder, what you want to do, that is all your business. Now it’s just a process.”
Sitting in the executive chair, Edward’s whole body was tensed up as if he had drawn a bow full of strings.
Edward hesitated for a long time, on the one hand he wanted to stay with Vivian, but now that the child was gone, what he wanted to do more than anything else was to investigate the killer behind the scene and catch the man to avenge the child.
As the father of a child, if even the investigation of the murderer needs the help of his brother, it will look like he is incompetent and extremely irresponsible to the dead child.
At least, he can’t get past that hurdle in his heart.
“You are now impatient, even if you go to investigate yourself, many times will be mixed with personal feelings, leading to errors in judgment.”
Peter advised.
He could understand Edward’s emotions.
Or rather, no one but him is more aware of Edward’s psychological feelings.
When Adriana fell into the sea, he was also looking for Adriana all over the world, until the end, and thought she was dead.
It was such a painful time for him too.
“Yes, it’s better for you to stay with Vivian.”
Harlee conformed again.
“Okay, since you want to investigate things that’s fine. You should at least stay with Vivian for a few days and then investigate.”
Peter saw Edward hesitating a bit, but was holding on to the principle in his heart.
