Chapter 266
Zayden didn’t know which floor Nelissa’s ward was on. He called the person in charge of the hospital and it took him a long time to confirm the situation. Nelissa was in surgery on the seventh floor. A few days ago, there was a car accident, and the ambulance sent the wounded in the emergency room.
Zayden immediately thought of the news he saw that day. He always felt that there was a subtle feeling in his heart. He took the video to the room and looked at it again. Later, because of other things, he still remembered it.
Zayden pressed the elevator button and went up to the 7th floor. There were bodyguards outside Nelissa’s ward, so Zayden was not allowed to go in. When the two sides were about to have physical conflicts, Han Penelope rushed over and explained, “Yes, we know each other. He is Nelissa’s friend, and we are all acquaintances.”
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard got out of the way and let someone in. He knew that Han Penelope was the niece of their boss, Edward. Their relationship was not ordinary.
Zayden lowered his head and glanced at Han Penelope. After a brief moment, he retracted his gaze and pushed open the door to enter.
The corners of Penelope’s eyes were moist and her makeup had been done. When she wiped them hard with the makeup removed paper, her eyes were red. She stood outside with a dull expression on her delicate face and did not go in.
Inside.
Nelissa was wearing her headphones and listening to music. She didn’t know what was going on outside when she saw someone pushing open the door and coming in. She thought that it was Edward who had come back. The faint smile on her face froze the moment she saw Zayden. It gradually faded and turned into surprise.
She took off the headset in her ear, got up and asked, “Why are you here?”
Zayden spoke almost at the same time as her. “Why would you be hospitalized?”
Nelissa was stunned, and her white fingers circled around the headset. After a long while, she replied, “I was hit by a car.”
Zayden’s face immediately turned ugly. He clenched his fists tightly and asked her, “Is it serious?”
Nelissa shook her head, and a strand of hair fell from her shoulder.
Zayden examined her seriously. She was wearing a loose hospital gown. She was thin and weak, and her forehead was wrapped in white gauze. There were obvious scars on her fingers, which were holding on to her headphones. He frowned and took a step forward, but Nelissa stepped back slightly. She looked at him with her clear black and white eyes. There were all kinds of complicated emotions, but she was not attached to his care.
Zayden was extremely uncomfortable, and his heart was empty. There was no trace of melancholy on his face. He stood in front of Nelissa and looked into her eyes, but he couldn’t touch her. “Why did you get hit by a car?”
Nelissa lowered her head and said, “An accident. An accident.”
Zayden suddenly moved closer and pressed one of Nelissa’s shoulders with one hand. He said, “If you keep lying to me like this, I’ll be really angry.” His tone was still as gentle and serious as before.
After high school, Nelissa learned to lie. Because she was a transfer student, she couldn’t get along with her classmates. Moreover, she was bullied by her male classmates and often cried. She didn’t like to tell Zayden, so she kept lying.
Once, Zayden blocked her in the corner of the room and asked her about her school. She didn’t tell the truth. Zayden leaned over, pinched her chin, kissed her lips, and whispered, “If you keep lying to me like this, I will be really angry.”
…
His thoughts flashed across his mind in an instant.
Nelissa raised her head to look at Zayden, and he was also looking down at her. There was still a safe distance between them, and they were not as close as before. The so-called ambiguous feelings were derived from ambiguous memories, but his mood was different. He was not shy and moved, and he was a little absent-minded.
In a trance, it turned out that she had once been so intimate with Zayden. Perhaps it had been too long, and the young love, which had been the most stunning period of time, had now become mottled and dim.
She suddenly felt terrible. She was the person who had forgotten her roots the most. Zayden had accompanied her for so many years, but it had become a dim memory in her heart that could not be shone by the sun. A kind of unspeakable sadness slowly seeped out from this corner and gradually went into desolation…
Zayden asked her again, “Are you willing to tell me?”
Nelissa looked down for a few seconds, restrained her emotions, and raised her eyes to tell him. She didn’t want to say anything, but what did she want to say? Tell him that someone wanted her to die? She always felt that it was not good, very bad. It was time for her and Zayden to start their own lives.
Zayden’s expression was deep. “Someone deliberately harmed you? Find out who that person is?” He continued, “That person in the video was indeed you.”
Nelissa shook her head. “I haven’t found it yet. Have you seen the news?”
Zayden lowered his head slightly and said, “Hmm.” He frowned and said, “Who do you think it is? Does it have anything to do with Edward? Didn’t he protect you well?”
Nelissa was partial to Edward. “It has nothing to do with him. It has nothing to do with him.”
Zayden suddenly lowered his voice. “That means it has something to do with me.”
“Hmm?” Nelissa frowned slightly.
Zayden looked straight at Nelissa. He had never told her that everyone around him knew of her existence. She was his only weakness. People like him, who specialized in doing bad things, were most afraid of being caught by others. He could no longer resist being trapped in it. He was destined to be evil on the road of no return, but Nelissa was the only one. He wanted her to be good, and he tried his best to be good to her.
Zayden said, “I came to the hospital this time because I wanted to see my master’s wife. I met Han Penelope in the parking lot just now, and I knew that you were also in the hospital. There are so many things that I don’t know.”
Nelissa didn’t say anything, and Penelope…
Zayden continued, “What did you think about what I said to you last time?”
Nelissa hadn’t come back to her senses. When she came back to her senses, she realized what Zayden meant. Last time, he said that he would return everything of the Quest family to her and exchange it for their love.
But, how to change it?
Before she met Edward, she also believed that these things could be exchanged. Not to mention love, even life could be exchanged with money and material materials in reality. It was not difficult to accept a man who had good conditions and loved her.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
But she had fallen in love with Edward, and she didn’t want to give up. If she wanted to be separated from Edward, she would be very unwilling and unwilling to give up.
Nelissa said slowly, “Don’t think about it. Zayden, we’re already like this. We can’t make up for it no matter how hard we try. It’s better to give up. Don’t struggle anymore. Let go of yourself, and let me go. In this world, there are people who are out of love every day. It doesn’t necessarily mean that society will be chaotic. Everyone has to continue to live, and they have to start a new life.”
Zayden, after pondering, finally spat out a sentence. “But in this world, I only like you.”
Nelissa was a little sad. She didn’t speak, so she couldn’t respond to Zayden. In her impression, Zayden didn’t express much feelings, or even very little. He was different from Edward, and he was reserved and deep. Edward would directly tell her every feeling and emotion. She could happily feel how much he loved her.
