Gray, clearly stunned at this moment, tried to reach for Cynthia’s hand while saying,
“What did you just say? That baby is mine?”
Cynthia broke away from his grip and said, “Don’t tell me that you didn’t know it. You really disgust me. I will never believe in you anymore…”
“That’s not true…That can’t be true.” Gray said remorsefully.
Now looking at this man, a faint sneer of satisfaction crossed Cynthia’s face.
“Not true? I also hope it’s not the truth…
And thanks to you, you cold-blood monster, I shouldn’t have fallen in love with you. I hate you!”
You killed my baby… I will never be with you… I hate you…
Cynthia’s words startled him. And the more he thought of it, the more restless he became.
In fact, his cold sweat and heavy breathing already gave him away to his assistant next to him, who began to propose in a concerning tone, “Sir, would you like me to put off the meeting. I can tell that you are not in your best condition.”
Gray gave a quick glance at his assistant, then let out a sigh of relief and shook his head tiredly,
“I’m fine. I want you to do something for me,” the assistant now humbly lowered his head to listen, “I want to know who presented at my wedding three years ago and who had an abortion in that hospital. Do it secretly, understand?”
After finishing his instruction, Gray looked away and gazed idly out of the window.
And his assistant beside him immediately started to arrange the investigation.
Although it was not winter, the night still seemed long and cold. Curling up in the corner near the window, Cynthia felt helpless. The robe she was wearing was obviously not keeping her warm for her arms already turned pale.
She hadn’t eaten any food since then, nor had she left the place. She just sat there, in great grief.
Abruptly, the doorbell rang, breaking all the silence. She tried to answer the door, but only to find herself too weak to even stand up, not to mention walking through the doorway.
She didn’t know how many times the bell had rung, but the next thing she knew was seeing the door being cracked open by a man. It was Isreal.
He was getting closer and closer. But when seeing Cynthia’s pale face and dry lips, he drew back his hand, not daring to touch her. As if she would break into pieces if he put a finger on her frail body.
“Cynthia, what happened to you?” he said.
“Isreal! It’s you. Why are you here… I can’t feel my legs, Ouch. I’m so tired…” Then her voice trailed off.
Her words were spoken in a feeble voice, and gradually she began to lean downwards.
Isreal looked at Cynthia who was fatigued in his arms. It pulled at his heartstrings, so he held her tightly.
Soft voices rang beside her ears: “Come with me, I’ll take you away, okay?”
Cynthia nodded with some difficulty.
“Mr. Morris. I’m too tired to stand up.”
Mr. Morris was what she addressed him when they met for the first time. After more than two years, he heard it again, but he felt a dull pain in his heart.
“It’s okay. I am here.
No one can hurt you, I will protect you and take care of you in the future.”
Cynthia in his arms gradually closed her eyes, and no one knew whether she wanted to escape from Isreal’s affection or escape from the reality.
“Mr. Morris, when will we go back to Mexico?
I miss our small yard there. Do you think the vegetables we planted are mature yet? ”
Isreal suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He remembered that the yard had been sold a year ago, and they had already replaced it with a new apartment.
But he still smiled, patted her on the back lightly, and said, “Okay, we’ll go back.”
We are away from there for so long, so I miss it.
As for vegetables, how about I grow your favorite ones when we return?”
Cynthia stopped speaking, wearing a smile at the corners of her mouth, and then she fell asleep.
After having a sleep in the bed and then eating some congee, Cynthia gradually gained some energy.
“I’m all right now. Let’s go.”She said hurriedly as if she wanted to run away soon.
I don’t want to be here anymore. The smell and all other things here made me sick.”
Seeing her clenching hands, Isreal frowned slightly. In fact, he saw the marks on her neck from the very beginning.
“Okay, I will take you away.”
Isreal dragged his luggage and put the other arm around Cynthia’s shoulder. It was noticeable that he was wary of something.
But just as he was packing his luggage into the trunk, he heard a bang.
When he arrived at the scene, he found Cynthia lying on the ground with her head bleeding and losing consciousness completely.
The rescued child next to her cried heartbreakingly and was taken away after his mother offered thanks.
“Cynthia, Cynthia, wake up! I am Isreal. I promise to take you away.
wake up please… please.”
Isreal panicked for the first time. He had been a lawyer for many years. No matter how difficult a case was he had never panicked. This time, he was completely panicked…
Isreal hugged Cynthia tightly and didn’t let go even until the ambulance car and police car both arrived.
But the car that caused the accident had already escaped without leaving a trace.
In the hospital, Isreal was sitting at the door of the emergency room. His clothes were soaked with blood, and he formed his trembling hands into fists, to relieve his worries over her condition.
He hit the wall with his fists and made a loud sound. Blood spewed out from her hands and left the snow-white wall splattered with it.
At this time, the door of the emergency room was opened, and the nurse came out.
Suddenly, a notice of critical condition was handed to Isreal.
His head was humming as if it was bombed, and he pulled the nurse’s shoulder tightly and shook it eagerly.
“That’s impossible. Are you lying to me? It’s just bleeding from the head, how can it be possible…”
