"Ding." Before Richard could finish his words, his cell phone rang in his pocket.
He looked at me apologetically and answered phone. It seemed that his mother was talking about something on the phone. Richard was not very happy, but he said with a good temper, "Mom, I'm busy now. I will send her back. I know. I have told you that don't arrange a blind date for me. I won't like any woman."
"Pa." When his mother was about to say something, he had already hung up the phone.
"Sorry to make myself a joke." After hanging up the phone, Richard said to me in embarrassment.
I shook my head and glanced at him.
As Richard stood up, I thought that I was about to leave. Just as I was about to say goodbye, he grabbed my hand and pulled me.
"Ashley, I want to take you to a place." Hearing this, I looked at Richard in a daze. Initially, I wanted to refuse him, but the determination and stubbornness in his eyes made me unable to refuse. I had no choice but to go with him.
After sending his blind date away, Richard brought me to Edward's villa.
The Gold Garden villa used to belong to me and Edward. We loved each other here and had sex at night, as if we were the most intimate couple. But he was going to marry another woman, while I was going to marry another man.
We were like two parallel lines, and there would never be a intersection between us.
"Why did you bring me here?" Richard parked the car on the main road outside the villa. He brought me to the outside of the villa.
Looking at the exquisite villa in front of me, I turned back indifferently, glanced at Richard and asked in confusion.
He looked at me with a deep gaze. He stared at me for a long time and said, "I want you to see something. I think that after you see it, you may know my cousin's feelings for you."
"I used to hate Edward for treating you like this. However, after seeing those things, I suddenly felt sorry for him. Ashley, you are the only one who can save Edward. Please bring him happiness."
His words were extremely serious. I looked at him in confusion and couldn't understand what he was trying to say.
Just as Richard was about to bring me into the villa, a black car rushed towards us crazily as if it had lost control.
"Ashley." Richard let out a low roar at me. Before I could react, he forcefully pushed me away.
As soon as I was pushed away by him, I hit the glazed tile on the wall and almost fainted.
Peng.
"Si-pa!" I heard a sharp moan. I rubbed my painful forehead and turned around to see that Richard was lying on the ground with blood all over his body. And the car had already gone.
"Richard." I was so frightened that I got up from the ground and staggered towards him.
"Richard..." I shook his body in fear as I called out his name.
"Ashley..." Richard's hands were slightly distorted. He tried his best to stretch out his hand and wanted to grab my arm. However, he did not have the strength to do so, his hands fell off my body.
I hugged his body and screamed his name.
"Richard, don't be afraid. I'll call an ambulance right away." My hands were shaking and I finally found my cell phone. I wanted to call an ambulance, but I was frightened by the scene in front of me. My hands kept shaking and I didn't even have the strength to make a call.
"Miss Mu, what happened?" The security guards in the villa probably heard the sound and ran to me.
I opened my eyes in fear and said to the security guard who was talking, "Ambulance... Hurry up, call an ambulance."
When the security guards saw the scared look on my face, he immediately went to make a phone call.
"What happened?" While I was waiting for the ambulance with Richard in my arms, Edward's car came over.
Edward and Betty got out of the car. I looked at Edward with my eyes wide open and kept crying. "Edward... help Richard."
"Richard." Edward stepped forward and looked at Richard who was lying in my arms. His face fell as he stepped forward and said, "Go to the hospital first. Hurry up."
With my lips trembling, I stumbled and put Richard on the car with Edward. Then Edward drove us to the hospital.
Betty sat aside and did not speak all the time. She just looked at Richard who was in my arms sometimes.
I didn't pay attention to her look. I just held Richard with both hands full of his blood.
After we arrived at the hospital, because of the help of Edward, there were already doctors waiting for us at the gate.
After Edward's car arrived, the doctor
sent Richard to the operating room.
I walked out of the car in a daze, looked at the blood on both my hands with fear in my eyes.
"Ashley." Only when William's voice sounded did my originally nervous mood gradually relax.
I got up and rushed to his arms. Then I said to him with a trembling voice, "William, Richard..."
"I know. I know everything. Don't be afraid." William's warm breathing passed by my face and made me feel at ease.
With tears in my eyes, I looked at William's handsome face and said in a hoarse voice, "If something bad happens to Richard, what should I do?"
It was because of me. At that time, Richard pushed me away. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so seriously injured.
"Don't be afraid. He'll be fine." William held my hand and said to me in a deep voice.
I bit my lips and looked at William with tears in my eyes. I didn't say a word.
"Let go of her." Just as William was about to sit down on a chair with me in his arms, Edward suddenly walked up to us. His gaze was cold as he sternly spoke to William.
William narrowed his eyes and looked at Edward as he coldly mocked, "You're talking to me."
Edward glanced at William with a cold face. He reached out his hand and pulled me out of William's arms.
I couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. With a cold expression, I looked at Edward.
"William, stay away from her." Edward looked at William with an unusually terrifying expression in his eyes and roared at him furiously.
William laughed in a low voice. His gaze was cold as he said, "Edward, are you mistaken? The one you should care about is your fiancee, and the person you are holding now is my fiancee."
"Don't even think about it." Edward said coldly and held my hand stubbornly.
Just as I was about to say something, Betty, who was beside me, stepped forward and pushed me away. When Edward was still trying to catch me, Betty wrapped her arms around his waist tightly and said in a sad voice, "Edward, what are you doing? Ashley is G.M. Xiao's fiancee. What do you want to do?"
Edward's face fell slightly. He was staring at me, but I could not understand the emotions in his eyes at all.
At this moment, I was not in the mood to figure out what he was thinking about.
I simply leaned against the wall behind me, lowered my head and quietly waited for Richard to come out.
William came forward, held my shoulder, and helped me sit down. When passing by Edward, he said to Edward in a very cold tone, "Edward, Ashley is my wife, and you will soon be Betty's husband. I hope that you can behave yourself and don't pester Ashley anymore."
