Book:Echoed Love in Hell Published:2024-6-2

Finally, Sandra calmed down a bit after her father’s funeral and then followed Jimmy to settle in a rehab resort.
‘Nobody will disturb you here. From tomorrow on, I will come to be with you, as I have to handle something today.”
Sandra nodded and said steadily, ‘Thank you.” She did have many friends and fortunately when she was about to be abandoned by the whole world, he was around.
Jimmy felt happy, like the honey flowing out of his heart, and the sweet fragrance spreading further. He nodded and turned to leave.
After he left, Sandra wandered around in the resort for a while and felt fatigue and decided to go back to room to take a rest. It was the first time she slept so deep. But also, the first time she was so scared.
In her dream, she saw Clinton was forcing her father and made him hospitalized. Her father passed away and Clinton bought the company and abandoned her.
She struggled, roared, accused him, but nothing worked. As to him she was nobody. Her pain was his biggest pleasure.
Jimmy came back to be informed by the helper about her condition. He heard even her soft voice while passing by her room. She was calling that man’s name that he hated most.
He returned to his room, depressed, which even the helper in the resort could tell.
When she woke up, it was 9am. She got up and groomed herself before eating something. She heard Jimmy’s voice around the corner.
‘I don’t want to interfere anything relating to Clinton.” he said gradually with more and more anger. He didn’t want to have anything to do with Clinton, no only because of Sandra.
He hung up and turned to Sandra’s direction, but saw her standing in pajama at the corner, frozen.
He complained slightly ‘why not put on warm clothes.”
Sandra looked at him, blinking her eyes ‘I forgot.” she didn’t mention anything about the call. She should care about anything relating to Clinton.
Few days later in the meeting of Fu’s Group, Clinton said to his executive board, sullenly, ‘I said we must get his project, didn’t I!”
‘President, the competitor was really cunning. They played tricks behind to make our situation out of control.”
He was about to say something, while the phone was ringing.
He looked at it and answered. Jessi’s voiced sounded, sharply a bit, ‘It’s so late. Why aren’t you still not back!”
‘If you don’t come back now, I swear you never see me and your kid!”. She hung up immediately, and had no clue how disturbed she made Clinton with her call.
He rushed back to the apartment without any hesitation, anger was gathering more and more. It was the first time that somebody dared to hung him up.
He was about to open the apartment door while standing there, and heard something fell to the floor. He ushered into the apartment, with bulging veins at his forehead.
Jessi saw him back, but continued with what she was doing at hand, and didn’t notice how furious he was at that moment.
‘What are you doing?” He noticed something familiar, something like a silver bracelet that he saw before on the wrist of Sandra.
‘Does everything here belong to Sandra?”
Jessi was irritated to his words. She was like a bitch, so that any tiny issue could trigger her to explode. ‘You do know her well. You can even recognize her stuff. Clinton, you still care about her too much!”
‘Enough!” Clinton was angry with her, exhausted too.
‘Do you still like her?”
Clinton frown his eyebrows unconsciously. He had no intention to take it out to Jessi. ‘What do you want me to do?”
‘Marry me.”
Clinton was taken aback. Although he intended to divorce Sandra to marry Jessi, he hesitated when it came to get married with her for no reason.
He looked at her with complexed feeling and then turned to look outside of the window. Jessi shivered out of any and tried to turn him back to face her. But she stepped on her own skirt and fell down to the floor.
Clinton was shocked to turn around and cursed slightly. He carried her immediately to run to the car. She was groaning very softly, ‘Clinton, so painful…”
Clinton started to race on the road, regardless of the red lights, and horned widely. He reached the nearest hospital in the shortest time in his life and ran inside to shout, ‘Doctor!”
Doctors and nurses came out immediately and rushed Jessi who was bleeding into the emergency room.
