"You'd better watch your wife carefully. Don't let her seduce Edward." Betty refused to admit being inferior and ridiculed William.
After hearing this, I looked up indifferently and said with a cold voice, "I never wanted to seduce Edward. For you, he is your favorite. For me, he is a man that I don't want to use anymore after using many times."
"You..." Upon hearing this, Betty's face turned extremely unhappy.
I didn't want to quarrel with her. I just gave her a cold look and stopped talking.
"Richard, Flow is my son?" While we were waiting, Richard's mother heard that he was injured in a car accident and came here in a hurry. I remembered that she was a very elegant woman, but at this moment, she rushed over in panic and fear.
She grabbed Edward's arm and said urgently, "Edward, how's Richard?"
"Fle's still being rescued." Edward glanced at her indifferently and explained.
I knew that the relationship between relatives in The Xis had always been alienated. Probably because it was a big and rich family, their relationships were not very good.
Richard's mother was trembling all over. She sat on the ground and burst into tears. Looking at her who was crying so sadly, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.
I gently pushed away William's hand and came to her, "I'm sorry, Richard saved me, that's why..."
"Ashley, you jinx, why did you harm my Richard?" Richard's mother raised her head. Her originally elegant face was filled with hatred.
She stood up from the ground and growled at me.
I silently allowed her to curse me and didn't say a single word.
I could understand her hatred for me. If Richard died, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life.
"It's all your fault, you b*tch. Why did you bewitch my son? I've already told him not to think about you. Why didn't he listen? What's so good about you? Even Edward abandoned you, I don't know what is wrong with Richard. He's actually always in love with you. What did you do to him?"
Her words were sharp, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.
I clenched my fists and said with a pale face, "I don't know..."
Didn't I know that Richard loved me? No, actually, I knew. I just didn't want to think about it.
I didn't even know when Richard fell in love with me. I remembered that when I saw Richard for the first time, he was a high school student. When did he ever fall in love with me?
"Why should my son suffer so much..." Richard's mother pounded her chest and stamped her feet as she shouted at me. The corridor of the hospital was unusually quiet. I and Richard's mother looked at each other. William stood beside me, gently held my shoulder, and comforted me.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine." I leaned in his arms, blinked my teary eyes, and felt a pain that was hard to describe in my heart.
Richard would be safe and sound, wouldn't he?
Richard, please be safe. Or I would feel guilty for the rest of my life. I really couldn't bear it.
"Si-pa." We had been waiting for so long. When I was gradually getting numb, the door of the operating room was opened.
We looked at the doctor who came out of the operating room. I almost rushed to the doctor.
"Doctor, how's Richard?"
"Doctor, how's son now? What's going on?" Richard's mother asked at the same time.
The doctor took off his mask and looked at us with a serious and sympathetic expression.
"I'm sorry, it was too late when he was sent to the hospital. We had been rescuing him for six hours, but..."
"What did you say? Say it again!" Richard's mother seemed to have gone mad. She grabbed the doctor's arm and growled.
The doctor seemed to be numb when he announced the time of death.
He took a deep look at Richard's mother and said softly, "I'm sorry. We can't save Mr. Xi. He's dead." Richard died?
After hearing this, I opened my eyes wide and couldn't help but take a step back. At this time, William held my body. When he saw my pale face, her eyes were a little dark and he said, "Ashley."
"William, am I dreaming?" I grabbed his clothes and asked with a pale face.
William touched my eyes with some distress and said, "You are tired. I will take you back to have a rest."
"I must be dreaming, I must be." I leaned against William's arms and muttered to myself.
How could Richard die? I clearly remembered... that he was still talking to me. He wanted to tell me Edward's secret. How could he suddenly die?
I stretched out my hand and was about to grab Richard's hand when his body was suddenly dyed red with blood. His eyes were wide open as he looked at me. I was so frightened that I kept stepping back. Behind me, there was a cliff.
"Ah!"
I felt my body constantly falling down, and I was so scared. I let out a shrill scream. At this time, a pair of hands hugged me.
"Ashley, wake up."
The deep and pleasant voice was so familiar. When I opened my eyes, I saw a pair of deep phoenix eyes.
Edward?
In a daze, I looked at Edward who was holding me. My body was stiff and I couldn't move a bit.
"You finally wake up." Edward saw that I had opened my eyes and fondled my forehead.
I frowned slightly and pushed away his body with force. In a hoarse voice, I said, "Why... are you in my room?"
"This is a hospital." He didn't get angry. Instead, he simply explained to me. A hospital?
After I glanced at Edward in a daze, I opened my eyes and looked at the ward at the moment. When I realized that I was in the ward, I couldn't help but press my head.
"What's wrong? Does your head still hurt?" When Edward saw this, he went forward and wanted to hold me. But at this moment, a white light suddenly flashed across my mind, and I saw a fog of blood suddenly.
The blood dyed the ground red. Richard's weak and feeble voice, as well as his mother's scream, constantly resounded in my mind.
"Richard." My lips were trembling and I slowly put down my hand. Then I grabbed Edward's hand and let out a low roar.
"Calm down." Edward's face fell. Seeing that I was so agitated, his voice became deep.
"Where is Richard? Where is he?" I had a dream. It was a very absurd dream. How could Richard die for no reason? How could such a thing happen? I must have not slept well, so I had this kind of nightmare.
"Richard is already dead. His body is in the morgue now. His funeral will be held three days later." Edward's voice was deep and cold as he spoke to me.
"No..." I covered my ears and growled at Edward.
