Ivy Smith slowly closed her eyes and leaned back into her chair.
She had fought, she had enjoyed, and she just wanted to live out the rest of her life in peace after experiencing life and death, why was it so hard?
— What do you want?
— to work with me.
Four words lay in the new email, the other party’s intentions were clear, but she didn’t want to go against her heart once again.
–I need to think about it.
Thinking for a long time, she replied tentatively.
A few moments later, the other party replied.
–Three days.
Three days to think about it. What would they do if they didn’t respond by then? Continue to threaten, or just submit evidence?
Ivy Smith was in an endless tangle of anguish, and Alex Brown, who had arrived at the hospital, knew nothing about it.
In the ward, Emma Rosy has just finished feeding Keira her medicine and is wiping her face.
She caught a glimpse of the man in the doorway, and without a word, she walked straight into the bathroom with a towel in her hand, and Alex Brown went after her quickly, nearly getting tapped on the nose by the door.
“Emma, don’t get mad, let me explain, okay?” He stood outside the door, full of aggravation, pleading.
The voice inside was nonchalant: “I have to wash up, let’s talk about it sometime.”
Alex Brown just slightly expressed his dissatisfaction, immediately choked to say nothing.
“You can’t answer the phone in the shower, and you can’t chat while washing up, you have a problem with that?” Emma Rosy choked out in a bad mood, and then turned the faucet on as high as it would go.
Alex Brown knew he was in a bad position, so he said weakly, “Then you go ahead and I’ll check on my daughter.”
From the moment he entered the door, Keira was holding a storybook and reading carefully, without giving him a look, he could only go over to her and ask curtly
Keira’s attitude is no more enthusiastic than Emma Rosy’s, and Alex Brown tries his best to explain the misunderstanding of the phone call to her.
The matter of Susan Bull is too complicated for Keira to understand at her age, and Alex Brown wants to talk to Emma Rosy, but she won’t give him the chance. The good thing is that as soon as he started to explain, the sound of water in the bathroom subsided a lot, and apparently the people inside were curious about it.
“… things are just like this, in short, that aunt is bad, daddy has her under control.”
While coaxing, while telling the cause and effect, Keira is still full of confusion, see Emma Rosy out of the bathroom, but also with a skeptical face asked: “Mom did you hear? Do you think Dad is lying?”
Alex Brown held his forehead helplessly, but fortunately Emma Rosy looked at him for a moment, her face eased and she did not suspect him.
“It’s not dangerous, is it?” Emma Rosy asked reluctantly.
Her willingness to care for him proved that she was not angry!
Alex Brown was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, “It’s all settled, as long as you can forgive me, everything will be fine!”
“Why do you want me to forgive you when you can just coax your daughter?” Emma Rosy gave him a blank look, turned around but curled her lips and deliberately flirted, “Mr. Brown is graceful, it is normal to have many suitors, I only have envy when I see it.”
The jealousy of this sentence is too strong, even Keira heard it, immediately smiled and said: “Mom forgives Dad, then I am not angry!”
“Don’t be ridiculous!” Emma Rosy walked over to the bed and handed her the warm milk, deliberately not looking at Alex Brown next to her, but with two blushes on her cheeks.
Keira held the glass of milk and quietly winked at her father, telling him to watch her blush.
Knowing that Emma Rosy would be embarrassed, Alex Brown gave a low cough and thoughtfully dropped his eyes to the window.
As night falls, the room is cozy, and the sound of his daughter’s laughter is restrained in his ears, family is the best time to be together.
However, not everyone is fortunate enough to experience such beauty.
The stifling heat of the rental house, the air conditioner seems to be broken for a long time, the network is bad, the laptop computer running lag, the ghostly blue light shines on a miserable white face, taking off the delicate makeup of the past, the cherry mouth also lost blood, the forehead and the tip of the nose woefully hanging beads of sweat, the pair of eyes … no, I should say that the right eye is covered with blood, the lower eyelid hanging heavy bruises.
As for the left eye, now covered by a piece of gauze, the eye inside has been shattered and can not be recovered in this life.
The miserable and gruesome appearance makes her look like a severe ghost, grinning and grimacing, crawling up to the yang world, demanding life from those who hate.
She does not hate the boss, even if the boss escaped from Alex Brown’ car and then became furious and struck her blind in one eye. The person she hates is Alex Brown, because all the hardships and tribulations of her life, all the suffering she endured came from Alex Brown.
She has to finish her revenge at any cost!
Alex Brown, and everyone he loved and valued, would pay for her eye!
Closing her computer, she got up, drove her scooter from the black market, went straight down to the hospital, and waited quietly.
In the ward, the family cleared up their misunderstanding and laughed until late at night, when they finally realized it was too late to rest.
Keira tucked in and Emma Rosy tucked her in, while Alex Brown was sent to close the window.
He found it odd to notice a man standing under the streetlight and subconsciously took one more look, only to have his pupils constrict violently.
“What’s the matter, can’t even close the window?” Emma Rosy teased with a smile and went to the window with the intention of taking over for him, seeing that he kept staring downstairs, she followed his gaze.
In a flash, the heart beat loudly.
“That person … is her .”
Emma Rosy frowned, raised her hand to grab Alex Brown’ sleeve, fearing that Keira would hear her, and lowered her voice to a trembling question, “How did she get here? What are we going to do?”
Emma Rosy thought she would be calm and collected when she faced Marisa Darcyagain, but the fear that grew from her heart could not be hidden.
Panicked, she fished out her cell phone to call the police, but was stopped by Alex Brown.
“If she’s out there, she must be prepared. You stay with Keira, I’ll go meet her.”
“No way! What if she …” Emma Rosy refused without even thinking about it. Understanding what she was worried about, Alex Brown smiled reassuringly: “There are countless ways she could kill me, but doing it in a hospital would be the dumbest one. Wait here in peace, I’ll be back soon.”
They all know very well that Marisa Darcywants revenge on more than just Alex Brown, so even if she wants to kill Alex Brown, she will definitely find a way to get out of it first, and now it’s nighttime, but there are doctors on duty at the hospital, so even if Alex Brown is killed, there’s still a chance he can be saved.
Based on such considerations, Emma Rosy finally relented: “Be careful, whatever she asks, you come back and discuss with me first, do not act impulsively.”
“Okay, I promise you.”
Alex Brown smiled gently, took her hand and slowly stepped back, when his fingertips completely separated, he turned around and went out with his back decidedly turned.
Emma Rosy hurried back to the window and watched, by the brightness of the streetlight, as Alex Brown walked down the steps to Marisa Miller.
They said something, Marisa Darcyopened the car door beside her and made a gesture of invitation, Alex Brown seemed to glance in the direction of the ward, but quickly withdrew his gaze and got into the car.
Didn’t she tell him to take it easy, how could he get in the car?!
Emma Rosy was so anxious that she jumped to her feet and pressed her hands on the window, hating to jump down to find him.
“Now you can talk. What do you really want?”
Marisa Darcyhooked her lips, and her exposed eyes narrowed to reveal a cunning glint: “I haven’t seen you for too long, I miss you!”
Before the words were out of her mouth, a sharp dagger was pressed against Alex Brown’ waist.
With the knife in one hand, Marisa Darcystarted the car and rushed out of the hospital into the darkness of the night.
Seeing that Alex Brown had been secretly watching out the window, Marisa Darcylet out a cold snort from her nostrils.
“Save your breath, no one can help you when you get in my car!” After a pause, suddenly turned his head: “Seeing me like this, there’s nothing you want to ask?”
In order to prevent the face from being captured by the security cameras, the car did not turn on the lights, in the light of the street lamp, Marisa Miller’s face is obscure, but the scene just seen in the hospital floor, has been enough to impress Alex Brown.
Alex Brown stared ahead, seemingly uninterested, while Marisa Darcybegan to talk to herself: “He was being played like a rat by you, escaping from the wheel, but full of anger must find a place to vent it, and I was the best choice. You know, he dragged my hair towards the table, I simply did not even have a chance to struggle, and then his hand deflected … Oh, the eye hit the corner of the table, at that moment I could even hear the sound of a shattered eyeball!”
He For some reason, imagining the scene of a broken eye mixed with blood, Alex Brown actually flushed a strong sense of nausea.
Marisa Darcysensed his thoughts and her face suddenly snapped into a fierce expression, and the tip of her knife dug deep into his shirt: “Who am I like this because of? I loved you so much, I even disobeyed my father’s orders for you, and you gave up on me and fell for that dead woman Emma Rosy! I’m so sorry …”
If she had stopped and found someone else, she might still be the Miss Miller , with her beauty, money, power, reputation and countless quality men, but now?
No, it wasn’t her fault. She was just trying to get back what was rightfully hers, so what’s the crime?
“It’s your and Emma Rosy’s fault!” Her eyes, which hadn’t yet healed, erupted in pain as they filled with blood, but she didn’t care, she just hissed: “You two adulterous couples have made me suffer, you deserve to die!
Sitting in a speeding car, with a sharp dagger at his waist, Alex Brown could not hide, and could only grasp the armrest above him in vain to suppress the violent beating of his heart, the cold sweat on his forehead and his white lips showed that he was on the verge of an attack.
But he knew that now was the time to fight for strength, and if he showed weakness and let Marisa Darcyget the upper hand, then not only himself, but also Emma Rosy and Keira and others would be in endless danger.
Squeal…
The ear-splitting sound of the brakes cut through the sky, and both of them lurched forward with inertia.
Before Alex Brown knew it, Marisa Miller’s dagger was back in front of him.
Looking out the window, there was a cemetery.
After walking through a forest of tombstones in the middle of the night, Marisa Darcyfinally pushed Alex Brown to stand in front of a tombstone, and then ordered in a deep voice: “Kneel down!”
A gentle breeze passed by, and the clouds that had formed into clumps diffused and dispersed, the moonlight cast down in sight, illuminating They names carved on the headstone.
“Kneel down and kowtow and confess your sins!” Seeing him not move, Marisa Darcyagain urged in exasperation.
Alex Brown closed his eyes slightly and sneered, “Even if I die, I won’t kneel to them.”
Marisa Miller’s father, who had engineered the death of his parents and made him hate the wrong person, had caused irrevocable regrets in his life, how could he possibly kneel to two people who had a blood feud?
“Do you want to die!” Marisa Darcygritted her teeth and sent her hand holding the dagger forward violently.
She moved to kill, and in a flash of lightning, Alex Brown immediately raised his hand to block it, and his arm was immediately flooded with a hot stinging pain.
Not bothering to check the injury, Marisa Darcystabbed again, his eyes narrowed, clutching her wrist with precision, his other hand quickly dodged the dagger, and slashed forward with great force…
“Ah!”
Marisa Darcyscreamed and took several steps back, covering her bleeding cheek and staring at him in disbelief.
Alex Brown crossed the dagger in front of his chest and stood ready: “You didn’t expect that a man with a weak body still has more strength than you?”
Before Alex Brown could make a move, she gave up on her tongue and darted into the bushes to escape.
The situation was under control, and Alex Brown, knowing his own physical condition, did not intend to fight her for long, so he did not pursue her, but called Eric Chan and asked him to trace the license plate of the car.
Perhaps telepathic, Emma Rosy finally called at this time.
Emma Rosy was relieved to learn that Marisa Darcyhad escaped, but still heard a bit of weakness in his pretend relaxed tone, and considered for a long time, but asked Eva Taylor to help take care of Keira at the hospital, planning to see him in person.
Eva Taylor arrived at the hospital yawning, not knowing what had happened, and seeing Emma Rosy in a hurry to leave, she casually asked, “Where’s Joe Wright?”
Emma Rosy can not stay with Keira, it is reasonable to say that Joe Wright should help, but now he is not here, Eva Taylor felt strange while more worried about his accident.
Emma Rosy was also stunned: “He’s not at your house?”
Both of them thought Joe Wright was at the other’s house, and when they got together today, they were shocked to find out that they had lost Joe Wright’s news. eva Taylor was just confused, but Emma Rosy was scared.
Just now Marisa Darcycame to Alex Brown brazenly, could she have a bargaining chip in her hand, such as kidnapping Joe Wright, and that’s why she’s not afraid?
Emma Rosy, not daring to tell Eva Taylor what she thinks, finds some random reason to calm down, and rushes off to the Brown Family to discuss countermeasures.
When she heard that Emma Rosy was coming, Ivy Smith prepared coffee and snacks in advance, and even left Alex Brown’ trauma unattended, waiting for Emma Rosy to dress it herself, showing her sincerity to quit the competition
However, in the current situation, emotions are not the first thing to be considered.
After hearing from Alex Brown that Marisa Darcyhad not mentioned Joe Wright, Emma Rosy’s heart relaxed a little, but she didn’t dare to take the matter lightly and decided to go home to Candy Hall later to see if she knew where Joe Wright had gone.
Just after dressing Alex Brown’ wound, Cameron Hunter arrived in the night after receiving the news.
The four of them sat in the living room, all with stony faces.
“According to you guys, Marisa Darcywas just playing a trick, but now she’s gone completely crazy and hurt someone with a knife.” Cameron Hunter frowned at the gauze on Alex Brown’ hand, vaguely regretting the “help” he had provided to Marisa Miller.
Ivy Smith hugged the pillow in her hand and said, “She’s a paranoid personality, a psychopath, and if she wasn’t limited in her abilities, she would have done more than hurt people.”
“It is imperative that we find a way to stop her series of crazy actions.” Alex Brown folded his legs, rubbing his fingers against the edge of the gauze, deep in thought: “But now, we don’t even know what else she has up her sleeve.”
Cameron Hunter pursed his lips, suddenly raised his eyes to Alex Brown: “The last time Ms. Smith was kidnapped, the man you crossed paths with, do you know him?”
“Judging from Marisa Miller’s reaction today, that man was the very person behind her two years ago, but I’ve never seen this man before.”
Although Alex Brown had ordered an investigation into the man’s identity after Ivy Smith was rescued, the investigation was really difficult to conduct based only on his description of his appearance.
“I might be able to provide some information about him.” Cameron Hunter looked at Ivy Smith with a slightly apologetic look, seemingly hesitant to know how to speak.
Ivy Smith, who has a clear mind, said soberly, “I’m not concerned about being bitten by a dog, Mr. Hunter, just say it, don’t worry about me.”
Cameron Hunter then nodded, continued: “I have a channel to buy goods from overseas, the other party’s boss named Abbott Hawk, ruthless appearance and Mr. Brown’ description is very similar, the most important thing is that he is lustful, If the person who cooperated with Marisa Darcyto kidnap Ms. Smith that day was him, then Ms. Smith suffered … that kind of injury, it is not surprising.”
