Chapter 886 No Choice

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

How could Natasya let Hardy see Talitha? When she came out hurriedly in a towel, Hardy was already gone.
She was so angry that she stomped her feet hard, “Damn it! Talitha, you bitch! You’re still trying to snatch my man away from me, bravo! Hardy Anderson, you think you can do whatever you want to me? Just wait!”
When Hardy rushed to the hospital, he bought a bouquet of flowers on his way. Talitha was sitting on the bed, looking extremely pissed. When she saw Hardy holding the flowers, her expression did not change at all. Hardy smiled and gave the flowers to Talitha, “Here, it’s for you!”
Talitha snorted, “Who wants your flowers?!”
“Talitha, I’m sorry!” Hardy said as he held her gently, “I don’t want to do this, but I have no choice. Don’t be angry, okay?”
While apologizing, he lowered his head to kiss Talitha. Talitha was furious at the thought of him and Natasya, but she had no way to solve it. She believed that all of this was not Hardy’s fault, it was because Natasya was shameless.
Talitha figured that if Natasya could provoke her, she could also return her the favor. Thinking of this, Talitha put her arms around Hardy’s neck and kissed him back.
However, her other hand pressed the record button on her phone. Hardy ignored Talitha’s actions and continued to kiss her deeply. The two of them were kissing very deeply when the door was pushed open and Raelyn walked in. When she saw them, she was shocked. Hardy on the other side, let go of Talitha as if nothing had happened.
There was no trace of panic on Hardy’s face at all. He even said hello to Raelyn, “Hello, Mrs. Saunders!”
Raelyn had complicated feelings when she saw Hardy. She thought that Hardy had abandoned Talitha when there was no news of him in the past few days. She did not expect that it was not like this at all.
To Raelyn, both of her daughters are important to her. She didn’t want her two daughters fighting for the same man. Therefore, she figured that she had to talk to Hardy, tell him that he had only one choice.
Raelyn then said to Hardy with a gloomy face, “Mr. Anthony, please come with me. I have something to say to you.”
“Mom, what are you doing? Hardy is here to see me, it has nothing to do with you, you can go! Don’t disturb us!” Talitha was not a fool. How could she not see Raelyn’s anger?
As if Hardy could not see Raelyn’s anger, he comforted Talitha softly, “Talitha, I’ll go out to talk to your mum first, I’ll come back to see you later.”
After that, Raelyn and Hardy went outside and found a quiet place to talk. “What do you want from Talitha and Natasya? Who do you even like?” Raelyn didn’t even try to be nice and asked straightforwardly.
“Me? To tell you the truth, I can’t choose,” Hardy put out his hands, looking helpless as he continued, “Talitha is the one I love, I have a baby with her too, and I am ready to marry her. But Natasya suddenly came in and told m that she wanted to be with me. She also said that she wanted to marry me. I am very fond of both Talitha and Natasya now. To tell you the truth, I can’t give up either of them.”
“What do you even mean by that? Talitha and Natasya can’t be with you together, don’t you know?”
“I know, but I said that I can’t make a choice,” Hardy still said the same words, “Talitha called me and said that she wanted to see me, it was the same as Natasya too. Mrs. Saunders, what do you think I can do? I really like them both, I really can’t make a choice between them, it’s too painful and cruel for me.”
Hardy’s lies were perfect. What he meant was that it was the Anderson family that had poisoned him shamelessly, so he didn’t want to choose from one of them, he wanted both of them.
“It has nothing to do with me, it’s for the Anderson family to choose,” Hardy thought to himself.
Raelyn was completely annoyed. When she plotted against Hardy, she didn’t expect such a thing to happen. She had no idea what should she do next.
In the ward, Talitha sent the recording of herself and Hardy being lovey-dovey earlier to Natasya. Natasya was fuming after hearing it.
Natasya thought that it was Talitha who started the war, no one could blame her.
Therefore, she could not continue to waste her time with Talitha, she had something more important to do.
Natasya pondered for a moment and then called Devon, “Dad, have you thought about how to deal with Talitha? Is there any solution? If you don’t have any, don’t blame me for killing her!”
“Talitha is already in this state, why don’t you leave her alone? You guys are sisters, what’s the point of fighting among yourselves?” Devon was trying to persuade her.
“I want to let her go too, but she keeps getting on my nerves! She still doesn’t give up and tries to steal Hardy from me! If I gave her the chance and she doesn’t grab it, then why should I let her go?”
Devon sighed and asked, “What do you want to do?”
“I have two ways now. One is to kill her, don’t let her have the chance to appear in front of me and Hardy again. As for the other one…”
Natasya paused for a moment, and her voice was full of hate, “Didn’t you say that the poison could be cured by feeding on the blood of the heart? I will find a way to take Talitha’s blood and feed it to Hardy so that his poison could be cured. As for Talitha, whether she can live or not, that’s up to her fate.”
Naasya’s words made Devon silent. Natasya then continued to ask, “Dad, which one do you choose? I can tell you that I’m being very honest with you. For me, Talitha is not my sister, but my enemy. I am just being kind to her for the sake of you and mum. If it was anyone else, they would have died a long time ago.”
“I know, let me discuss it with your mother first!” Devon did not agree or disagree with Natasya.
Natasya knew what Devon meant when he said he would discuss with her mother first, it meant that her dad was on her side. Natasya knew very clearly that she was special in Devon’s heart. If Talitha was being obedient, then nothing would happen to her. But if she wasn’t, there would only be one ending for her.
On the other side, William accompanied Valeria to the night market. The two strolled around the night market hand in hand.
Valeria was eating the candied apple in her hand happily while William held a pack of snacks in his hand and looked at Valeria with a smile, “Eat slowly, you look like you’ve starved for days. Look, so many people are looking at you, they would think that I don’t allow you to eat.”
“No, they look at me because I’m beautiful! Besides, it’s not all about me. Many girls are looking at you and I don’t like the way they look at you. Honey, next time when we come out, you’ll have to wear a mask.”
“Why are you jealous? Then it’ll only be fair if you wear too!”
“No, I can’t wear a mask. How can I eat with a mask on? I’m here to eat, not for anything else.”
“What a foodie!” William muttered.
Valeria looked up and stared at him, “What did you say?”
“I say that my wife is very beautiful, and she looks beautiful when she eats too!”
“Screw you!” Valeria raised her hand and stuffed the candied apple into William’s mouth. William took a bite, and Bobby followed behind him with bags of street snacks in his hand.
He then handed the takoyaki to Valeria and grinned, “Mr. Howard, I saw Michael and Miss Clark!”
