Chapter 168 Utterly Downhearted
The bizarre dreamland appeared, and it was as though there was a monster that suppressed Alice until she couldn't breathe. In a dreamy state, she felt that she was being picked up. Her body was hot as though there was a fire burning in her heart. Alice regained some strength when she recited - a prairie fire, a prairie fire. She opened her eyes to see that it was a man that carried her.
She suddenly couldn't distinguish between her dreams and reality. She was surrounded by monsters who were breathing fire and the man in front of her was her only salvation.
Time seemed to have returned to five years back. She seemed to have also felt the pain in her stomach, as though she had taken medications and the child was not doing well. It seemed like it was John who carried her. She tugged the man's arm very hard, she wanted to save her child.
Edward felt his sleeves were tugged, and when he looked down, Alice was already awake.
"Alice, hang in there, and you'll reach the hospital soon."
See, it was indeed five years ago. Alice listened in a daze. Edward's face had already been replaced by John.
She couldn't say anything at this time, her throat was dry, but she needed to instruct John that she had to keep her child.
Edward watched Alice's lips moved as if she tried to vocalize her words, but she could no longer speak. Edward tried to figure out what Alice subvocalized through her mouthing.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
What did she say? Edward seemed to have been poured over by a basin of ice water that made him utterly downhearted.
"John...my child...", Alice uneasily moved her lips as she frowned.
Edward's heart ached painfully. Alice, you ultimately still want that man, don't you? But I'm sorry, I won't let it go.
Edward smirked as he displayed a wicked smile. Since that's the case, we will all go to hell together!
Alice didn't know what she had said. For her, it was just a nightmare from a high fever but for Edward, the reality was a nightmare.
Edward no longer returned to the villa for not just a day or two.
Almost everyone had noticed, including Alice. Alice was already exhausted. The significant purpose of their relationship was mutual torture.
The president of SA Group, Edward, who showed his affection and secret marriage not too long ago, had now become a playboy that was spread by tabloids.
The fastest news to spread would always be gossip news. Gossipers are also the most widespread group of people.
Alice's feelings for Edward are very complicated. For the very least, it seemed that Edward no longer kept her in, yet she still didn't leave.
The child not only took away the easing feelings between them but also Alice's desire to leave.
Due to Edward's actions that displayed care and anxiety, as well as the few hidden emotions, Alice knew that the car accident was not caused by her. However, everyone didn't believe it. She currently didn't want to leave. Not only due cause her body had yet to recover, but also due to an unspeakable feeling.
If there was no love, there would not be so many worries.
At this time, Alice was almost burned by the eros of fire.
Regardless of her decision to stay with Edward or not, there was not much choice as Edward would never come back.
Joanna and Janet would naturally not let go of this opportunity. When Edward and Alice re-registered for marriage in the past, the entire media industry caused a big wave of commotion.
It was purely because the marriage
between Joanna and Edward had dragged for five years, yet in the end, Edward was not marrying Joanna The focus of the whole report is on Joanna and Edward. No one could dig out news on Alice under the
strict protection of Edward.
But now, without the protection of Edward and the pushing from Joanna and Janet, the name of Alice being a mistress had been established.
No one knew what happened five years ago, but five years later, it became well-known that Alice had snatched Edward from Joanna's hands. Therefore, Alice became the most well-known mistress among the public.
The news spread widely, coupled with Joanna's intentional pushing, almost everyone in the city knew about the incident. Joanna had even attached a picture of Alice.
Nivea would not let go of this opportunity. She didn't know what happened between Edward and Alice, but it also did not prevent her from being involved between the two.
The media reports began to mention Nivea's name frequently. Their prefix was not long but it was eye-catching that she was Edward's new lover.
Alice didn't know how to treat this matter. The relationship between Nivea and Edward was already a weight in her heart, but now, it only weighed her down even heavier.
Alice's thoughts were brooding
worst day by day. The two children
were very considerate as they accompanied Alice. Although they are young, they knew that their unborn brother had been lostand their mommy was very sad.
Albert and Rebecca were originally two well-behaved children. The two children tried their best to coax Alice while Alice was absent-minded all day. Alice's heart hurt when she looked at the two children.
Such well-behaved children. It was fortunate that John arrived in time to save them five years ago.
Although the child she was carrying was not able to make it to this world, she still had two children.
As a mother, she can't continue to remain in her current state anymore. For the sake of her two children, she needed to get her act together.
After she tidied up herself, Alice wanted to send her two children to kindergarten. Due to the car accident before, she was locked up by Edward and was unable to see her two children.
Then Edward no longer came back to the villa and the two children took time off to accompany her. How that she had decided to cheer up, she cannot let her children's schoolwork be delayed.
She took her two children to school
on foot. The kindergarten was not far from where she lived, and the scenery along the way was pretty good. Therefore, if she had time, she would choose to take her two children to school on foot.
Talking and laughing all the way, she was still keenly aware of her surroundings.
She sent her children to school with a smile, her strained heart finally relaxed.
The people who knew her were all pointing to her and said things like a mistress should back off. She couldn't help to be thankful that her two children didn't understand such terms.
It must have always been Joanna who spread it. No one would be more hostile to herself than Joanna. She also hated Joanna, but now...
How can the matter between a man and woman be decided by one person? In this duel, regardless of it was Joanna or herself, there was no victory, even Edward was a loser.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
