A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 73

Hearing William's words, I couldn't help but nod. I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't figure it out.

"There is one more thing. I think I still need to tell you." William's voice suddenly became unusually low. I slightly moved my lips and said, "What is it?"

"Edward and Betty are engaged today."

Boom...

My mind was in a mess, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

My stomach felt as if it were squeezed together, and I vomited uncomfortably.

"Ugh."

"Ashley." Seeing me like this, William got up in a panic and was about to call the doctor. I grabbed his hand and stopped him from leaving.

"I'm fine. It's just...I feel sick at the stomach;" I grabbed his hand and said weakly.

"Are you very uncomfortable?" William poured me a glass of water. After drinking the cold water, I calmed down and felt better.

However, I didn't want to calm down.

I sneered with indifference in my eyes.

"No, I don't. Why should I feel uncomfortable?"

Since things had come to this point, I didn't have to take anything into consideration. Edward, we could only have a bad ending.

I wouldn't give up the revenge for my child.

Since you got engaged to Betty, I... wouldn't let her live a good life.

"Ashley, if you want to cry, cry out." William gently stepped forward to hold my body and comforted me.

"Cry? Why should I cry? Do you think I still love Edward?" I looked at his gentle face and said coldly, "Edward is just the one I want to take revenge on. I don't care who he wants to get engaged to or even marry."

"Is that so? Then why are you shedding tears?" He sighed. His warm fingers touched my eyes.

His fingers were so warm that my whole body could not help but tense up slightly.

William stared at me gently for a long time, then he sighed.

"Since you don't care, why are you crying?"

I didn't cry... I wouldn't cry.

"It's just that the sand flew over and made my eyes feel a little uncomfortable." I turned my head and didn't look at him.

"You need to have a good rest now. I'll cook some soups for you when I get back. What kind of soup do you want to eat? Tell me, I'll make it for you later." He got up and said gently to me.

In fact, I didn't want to eat anything, and I didn't have an appetite. Seeing me like this, William felt sad, but there was nothing he could do.

He shook his head and left my ward with a sigh. After he left, I turned around and looked at the door.

I stared at the door for a long time, as if there was something at the door that attracted me.

After a long time, I looked away and lowered my head with a cold face to touch my belly.

My child was killed by Betty, but my child's father was going to be engaged to the murderer?

Betty, did you think that I would let you go?

As long as I was alive, I would never let you do as you wish. If you loved Edward so much, I would personally... destroy your love.

I looked at my own shadow on the glass. At this moment, my facial features looked horrible because of anger.

I stared at the glass for a long time, then sneered and slowly closed my eyes.

I didn't know how William found the murderer, but I knew that this matter was not so simple. The nurse might just be a scapegoat. The real murderer didn't appear at all.

But I was not in a hurry. I would find out the truth and revenge for grandpa. No matter who the murderer was, I would let him or her pay the price.

In the evening, because my wound still hurt, William cooked for me and sent the food to the hospital. Then he left because he had something to deal with within the company.

I lay alone in the ward, I felt so uncomfortable so I turned over in bed.

The wound was itchy and it was painful, which made it impossible for me to fall asleep.

Just as I was struggling to get up and drink some water to calm myself down, someone walked into my room.

I heard the sound of the door opening, and I knew who was walking to me.

"You didn't know what? You didn't know that I was almost raped yesterday?" I looked at his wide-open eyes and said, "Of course you didn't know, you only care about Betty. How do you know what days I had in prison? You asked me to admit the crime of killing grandpa because you want to protect Betty, didn't you?"

His face turned abnormally stiff and cold. He grabbed my hand so hard that he was about to crush my bones.

I could feel the anger and unwillingness in his heart. He was afraid, even terrified.

I looked at him for a long time, then I said coldly, "Am I wrong? Edward, I am not a toy that you and Betty can play with. Don't think that only you and Betty are smart in this world, I'm also smart."

Hearing my sneer, Edward didn't say a single word. He slowly closed his eyes, and he looked so sad.

I stared at the expression on his face. After a long time, I threw his hand away ironically.

"Well, now you've successfully protected Betty, and thanks to you, I was not killed by you. Aren't you very unhappy?"

"Don't be like this." His voice was hoarse as he suddenly spoke to me.

"Don't be like this?" Edward, I was forced by you and Betty, did you know?

I was about to be driven crazy by him and Betty.

Edward clenched his fists, looked into my eyes, and said word by word, "Ashley, don't be like this, okay?"

I didn't say anything. I just pointed to the position at the door and said coldly, "You can go now. Go back to accompany your Betty. You don't have to worry about me."

"I'm sorry. I didn't know what happened to you yesterday. I didn't know... she had clearly promised... she wouldn't do anything to you. As long as...I met her requests, she would let you go...I really don't know."

Edward's voice was somewhat weak and even low. I didn't clearly hear who he was talking about.

I didn't want to waste my time talking to him anymore. I wanted to push him away, but he hugged me tightly and refused to let go of me.

After a long time, I felt a burning heat in my abdomen. The boiling hot liquid passed from my clothes into my body.

Was Edward crying?

I was so shocked that I couldn't say a word.

"Ashley, I'm sorry," Edward said this for a very long time. I didn't move and allowed him to hug me.

After some time, he hugged me and laid on the hospital bed. He carefully avoided my wound, kissed my lips, and tried to please me over and over again, "Ashley, don't be afraid. I'm here. No one will hurt you."
