He nodded and narrowed his eyes at me, “So you must have a way to get to take something?”
I frowned and balked, “No!”
He laughed twice and looked at me and said, “Of course, you have other conditions to exchange with me, I just don’t know if you are willing to do it.”
I hesitated for a moment and looked at him, “What?”
He reached out a long, slender finger and pointed at me, “You!”
I didn’t react for a while, frowning at him, not understanding what he meant.
He hooked his lips in a smile and said, “What? Can’t you see that I’ve been quite interested in you?”
I almost did not spurt a mouthful of water, looking at him, I did not shake half a day.
For my surprise, he hooked his lips, direct nurse, looked at me leisurely said, “I first saw you in Newton Town auction, it is difficult to say, you are not beautiful, but very striking, probably because you follow Dennis around the relationship, so at that time I paid extra attention to you, later was in the cemetery, you probably do not know, that day I didn’t want to do anything to you, but I simply wanted to have a proper communication with you, and I didn’t expect to be honored, so we met, and then I always wanted to get acquainted with you in some way, but you never let me down, and it happened that you went to City A at that time, and happened to be in my company, and happened to know Li An. It seems that things are arranged, and we just got familiar with each other.”
I looked at him, a little incredulous, “You’re the president of the Andor Group?”
He nodded, not holding back in the slightest, and spoke, “the White Group has quite a few branches in City A. Several of the companies are newly acquired, so they have not yet been titled the White Group.”
I couldn’t help but feel my body go cold, my mind recalled what happened before, tugged my hand and looked at him, “So, the night I was taken away in the hotel by Heroin was designed by you? Those policewomen were also your people?”
He paused slightly, a little surprised, “When did your brain get so smart?”
Not that I’m smart, but I think I remember meeting him that night at the hotel, and it wasn’t long after I met him that I was set up.
I never understood why then where so many women, why it was me, I once thought it was Li An bought people so set me up, but when I found him later, he did not seem so surprised that I would come back alive from Myanmar, and he seemed ready to wait to be questioned by me.
Now when you think about those days, it’s hard not to feel a lot of holes.
Several girls involved in the accident, Jenny and Fanny really have little background, but Jannings family background is not ordinary, when she was made to Burma, back it seems Grandpa Anthony never mentioned.
Seeing my stony face, Edward’s smile was ghostly, cold and feminine, “Are you thinking of the wonderful time we spent together in Burma and Western Europe?”
I sank, not waiting for the waiter to bring up coffee, I got up and was ready to leave, he was one step ahead of me, stopped me and looked at me and said, “Your daughter doesn’t have much time for you to play temper Miss Kennedy!”
This, he said with a smile, no sympathy worry, more just gloating, I was disgusted with his mouth, gloomy face, “What the hell are you going to do?”
He looked at me, eerily, “Get it on with me?”
“Edward are you nuts? I’m already married, even if I’m not I can’t possibly look at you. Also, if you don’t have true feelings for Jannings, please tell her earlier and don’t trample him!” This man is simply a multi-faceted person, he can pretend to be a gentleman and gentle, but also can pretend to be deep and stable, but also can be cold and vicious, and even can not know shame.
I suddenly realized that this man, who perhaps I never understood, was simply devilish.
“Don’t worry, I won’t make it difficult for you!” Saying that, he pressed me into position and looked at me, “How about it? Consider me, about your daughter, as long as you agree, I will immediately arrange for someone to send her the most suitable kidney.”
I looked at him, a little incredulous, this he said too casually, as if this kidney is a stone on the street, for him, no effort at all.
He sat down across from me and looked at me and said, “If you promise me, I will arrange for your daughter right away.”
I pursed my lips and looked at him, my heart could not find the words to describe him anymore.
The waiter brought up coffee, I casually took it and splashed it directly on his face and spoke, “If you have psychological problems, I suggest you hurry to see a doctor and don’t scare people on the street.”
After that I got up and left the cafe.
Edward gave me too much excitement, and when he said kidney, it gave me a feeling as if he could get any organ from the street as long as he wanted it, it was too creepy.
Luna called and asked me what took me so long to get out and what I was doing.
I casually lied and said I had walked a little far, so there was no way to go back for a while, it might take a while, and finally bought something around before taking a taxi back to the hospital.
Clariana was lying on the bed, several chemotherapy treatments down, she has been thin and bony, I looked at her, a heart blocked the pain, but can not shed tears in front of her, so I pulled a smile to look at her, “Clariana, do you blame mom? It’s been so long since I visited you.”
The little one looked at me and shook his head, his thin, bony hands pulling at me, softly saying, “No, Grandma said mommy has a little baby coming and can’t stay in the hospital all the time, or the little one will get sick.”
I took a breath and pulled her, these days I have not dared to face her directly, the psychological guilt makes me feel like a sinner when facing her, I should not have let her go with Mario in the first place, if I had not gone to Drele she would not have happened.
If I hadn’t gone to City A, left her and left her with Luna, I might have noticed that something was wrong with her. Later on, it was clear that Luna had called me several times that something was not right with Clariana, but it was all because I was careless and that’s why her treatment was delayed for so long. I thought I was protecting and loving Clariana with all my heart, but when I thought about it, I realized that I was selfish from the beginning to the end, I thought I was taking her to HL Area, I thought I wanted to give her the best life, I brought her back from HL Area, and I thought I was leaving her alone in City P. All these things were caused by me. All of these were caused by my own hands.
So I feel guilty about Clariana, and this guilt keeps me from facing her.
