When She Unveils Identities Novel Chapter 206 – It’s Not My Fault
The next day.
Shirley and Nancy came to a high–class seafood restaurant together.
“Shirley, look, that is my boyfriend, Cordell Norman. Isn’t he handsome and elegant?”
Nancy pointed to a young man in the VIP area and said shyly and sweetly
Shirley followed Nancy’s finger and looked over. She saw that a man was anxiously waiting. He was fiddling with his clothes and tidying up the tableware. He was obviously a little nervous. He probably attached great importance to this date.
“He looks really gentle. I didn’t expect that the one who finally conquered you was this type of man.”
Shirley teased her with some surprise.
Shirley had always thought that Nancy would like that kind of cool and arrogant guy. After all, the idols Nancy liked were cool.
However, the gentle type was also good. It was quite complementary to the carefree Nancy, provided that he was really gentle.
At this time, the man also noticed them. He immediately revealed a warm smile and warmly waved at them.
“Nancy!”
He went up to them and thoughtfully took the bag from Nancy’s hand. He held her hand and asked her, “Baby, are you tired? Are you
hungry? I ordered your favorite coconut crab. I hope you like it.”
“Thank you, baby.”
Nancy smiled sweetly and introduced Shirley to him with a proud face. “This is my best friend, Shirley. We are even closer than
sisters. Let me tell you, Shirley is very powerful. She is beautiful and intelligent. She can run a company to earn money, and she can
kick hooligans. She has been a top student since she was a child, and she is also a hack…”
“Ahem, ahem!”
Shirley saw that Nancy was going to reveal her background. She quickly interrupted Nancy and looked at Cordell with a smile. “Hello, I
am Shirley.”
“Hello, I’m Cordell.”
The man pushed up his glasses and responded with a polite smile.
During the whole meal, Cordell was very gentle and considerate. He skinned prawns and crabs for Nancy the whole time. He was
neither humble nor pushy to Shirley and maintained a polite border.
According to Nancy, Cordell was born and raised abroad. Cordell’s grandfather brought his family abroad when he was young.
Cordell’s father ran a dental clinic, and his mother was a university professor. He was also a top student in the philosophy department
of Newchark University. It could be said that he was from an educated and rich family.
From this information, whether it was his appearance, speech, or his family background, there was almost nothing wrong with Cordell He was almost perfect
However, Shirley felt that this kind of “perfection” made him look a little suspicious.
“Cordell, I heard from Nancy that you are going to get married at the end of the month. Isn’t it too fast… After all, you’ve just dated
each other for three months”
Shirley took a sip of wine, looked straight into the man’s eyes, and asked sharply.
“It depends on who I meet. It just took Nancy and me three days to decide to be together. When I saw her for the first time, I was sure
that she would be the only true love in my life, so I want to marry her and protect her for the rest of my life!”
Cordell and Nancy clenched their fists and looked at each other. They looked so sweet.
“Remember what you said today. If you dare to let her down, I will let you die in a very miserable way.”
When Shirley finished speaking, she clinked his glass with hers and drank it in a forthright manner.
Her love was in a complete mess, and Shirley definitely wouldn’t let her bestie be like her!
After the meal, in order to not be a third wheel, Shirley found an excuse and went away
As Shirley strolled around the mall, she took out her phone and dialed a number. She said, “Kevin, how are you? My old friend, I want to ask you about someone!”
Kevin Jackson, a friend from the same laboratory when Shirley was studying in college. Their relationship was very close
Kevin was very open–minded in Newchark. He had a wide network of people and was well–informed
It was not an exaggeration to say that if someone asked Kevin about anyone, from a beggar to a senator, no matter how high or low his status was, Kevin could dig out all the details about that guy.
“Cordell? I’m familiar with this person!”
Kevin said enthusiastically on the other side of the line, “Give me ten minutes. I’ll sort out all his information and send it to you.”
“Thank you, bro. I’ll wait for you.”
Shirley hung up the phone and waited patiently.
Even though she had acknowledged Cordell at dinner, she still did not trust him in the depths of her heart.
Shirley felt that people who were too perfect were the most terrifying. For the sake of Nancy’s lifelong happiness, Shirley must
investigate carefully!
In the process of waiting, Shirley came to the children’s area on the third floor, preparing to buy some clothes for the two little guys.
Since Shirley had two little babies, her biggest hobby was buying them a lot of good–looking little jackets and dresses.
“This, this, and this
Shirley bought five or six sets in one go and asked the shop assistant to wrap them up one by one, so much so that she could barely
lift her hands, looking a little embarrassed.
Just as she was about to leave the shop, she bumped into Braden and Amelie.
Fuck!
Shirley couldn’t help but curse in her heart.
What kind of bad luck was this?
Amelie was originally being supported by Braden, looking weak and fragile. Her eyes were watery
When she saw Shirley, her expression immediately changed. She revealed a ferocious expression and rushed out of control. She grabbed Shirley by the neck and shouted, “Shirley, thank goodness. On the day of my son’s death anniversary, I met you. Today, I will
kill you and avenge my son!”
“Oh!”
Because Shirley had two hands full of bags, and it happened so suddenly that she had no time to react, she immediately fell into a disadvantage
“Amelie, calm down Let her go!”
Braden’s handsome face was cold as he rushed forward to stop Amelie
However, Amelie’s resentment was too much. Her ten fingers were so thin that bones could be seen. She was like a human skeleton. She used all the strength in her body and wished she could break Shirley’s neck. For a moment, Braden could not stop Amelie at all.
“I will kill you! I will kill you!”
Amelie’s eyes were red, and she howled like an animal. She was determined to strangle Shirley to death.
Soon, many onlookers gathered around and pointed at them.i
“You killed my son. You caused me to lose the chance to be a mother. I will kill you. Go to hell, go to hell!”
As Amelie screamed, she increased her strength. Shirley could not breathe, and her face turned red, showing a painful expression.
All of a sudden, Shirley heard a crack. At the brink of death, Shirley finally breathed in fresh air!
Amelie, who had almost strangled Shirley to death, was now lying in Braden’s arms, unconscious.
“What’s going on? She fell down on her own. It’s not my fault!”
Shirley rubbed her sore neck and immediately retreated several feet away, observing the motionless Amelie.
“She… Why is she not moving? Is she still alive?”

Chapter 207 I Would Rather You Hate Me
“Is that what you hope for?”
Braden glanced coldly at Shirley, then picked up the unconscious Amelie and placed her in the rest area.
Amelie had gone out of control just now, and Shirley had almost been strangled to death.
In a moment of desperation, Braden knocked on the back of Amelie’s neck, causing her to fall into a short coma, allowing Shirley to
escape
Braden estimated that Amelie was fine and would wake up after a while, so he did not deal with it too much.
He turned around and walked to Shirley, who was still in the children’s clothing store. He pointed at the scattered baby clothes and asked in a low voice, “Why did you buy so many children’s clothes?”
Shirley and the shop assistant squatted on the ground together and folded the beautiful dresses and pants into the bag. She said angrily, “It’s none of your business. I bought them just because they’re cute.”
Braden bent his long legs and picked up a pair of striped socks not far away. He picked them up and studied them carefully.
They were small and delicate socks. They were pink in color and soft in texture. However, they were the size of three fingers and looked particularly cute. It made his heart unconsciously soften.
“Did you buy these socks because they look cute?”
As he spoke, Braden passed the socks to Shirley.
Unfortunately, Shirley didn’t treat him with respect. Her pretty little face collapsed as she said with extreme disgust, “They were originally beautiful, but after you touched them, they became tainted with bad luck. I don’t want them anymore.”
“You!”
Braden was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
What was wrong with this woman? Didn’t she say in a carefree manner yesterday, “May we meet again and still be friends.” Today, she turned hostile and thought he was unlucky?
What a fickle woman!
“I knocked Amelie out to save you just now. Is this how you thank me?”
Braden couldn’t help but want to ask for an explanation for himself, so he stood in front of Shirley and asked, “Please tell me, where
did I offend you again?”
Shirley’s neck was still burning with pain, and of course, her heart was also filled with anger, and she began to scold him.
“Braden, how did you offend me? I think you should know the answer!
“You and Amelie are so alike Both of you are passionate about pinching other people’s necks. You won’t stop until you break other
people’s necks, right?
“Four years ago, you failed to break my neck. Four years later, your woman continued to do it. Why are you pretending to be a good
person?”
It was true that four years was enough for her to forget the unhappiness from the past and also enough for her to let go of this jerk in front of her
However, when Amelie strangled her just now, the pain from before was like a movie playback, constantly appearing in Shirley’s mind.
Braden had once grabbed her neck even harder than Amelie did. The feeling of suffocation and death was still fresh in Shirley’s
memory.
The muscles had memories, and the pain would naturally be awakened. Shirley could not do it without feeling.
Braden looked at Shirley, who was out of control, and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
This woman was finally no longer that emotionless Her mood would fluctuate because of him.
Although this fluctuation was negative, it was enough for him to be confident that he still occupied a certain position in her heart.
His heart felt some hope again!
“That’s right, I am not a good person. You can hate me, scold me, and even hit me ”
Braden suddenly grabbed Shirley’s hand and pulled it toward his chest. He said coldly, “Are you not convinced? Do you still hate me? Then don’t hold it in Don’t pretend to be calm and peaceful It’s not real!”
In fact, he really wanted to say to Shirley, “You can hate me all you want. You can scold me and hit me, but don’t ignore me like I’m an invisible person!”
Therefore, Braden would rather let Shirley hate him than watch them walk further and further away, becoming two parallel lines that
would never cross!
“Come on, hit me. Aren’t you very skilled? Beat the crap out of me, or use my method to strangle me to death!”
Braden placed Shirley’s hands on his neck. His handsome face was tense, and he had no intention of joking at all.
“You Are you crazy?”
Shirley, who was originally full of anger, was suddenly stunned by the man’s actions. She tried to withdraw her hand, and her face was full of disdain. “I’m warning you that there are surveillance cameras here. Don’t try to threaten me!”
“Then I will authorize you to hit me in front of the surveillance cameras. If you beat me to death, I will take responsibility!”
“Madman, you are a madman!”
Shirley finally broke free and hid far away. She looked at the man like a ghost and dared not approach him.
Shirley was afraid of Braden’s insanity!
“Four years ago, I bullied you. Now I’m giving you a chance to bully me back. You gave up this opportunity yourself, so don’t keep mentioning it in the future to avoid hurting our feelings.”
Braden looked at Shirley with a cold expression. In an instant, he changed from a madman to an elegant and noble gentleman.
Only then did Shirley realize it. Damn it… This was a trap for her!
“Braden, are you crazy? Who said that we will have a future? Also… We have no feelings at all. How can we talk about being injured or
not!”
Shirley tidied her messy hair and tried to calm herself down.
She swore that she would never let this man affect her mood ever again!
“If you have no feelings, we can cultivate them again. Even if you cultivate hatred, I think it’s worth it!”
Braden curled his lips as if he was joking, but he was very serious.
Shirley couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. She said coldly, “I think you’re really crazy.”
At this time, the unconscious Amelie woke up
She changed her hysteria from before and ran to Shirley. Suddenly, Amelie knelt down and prayed to Shirley, “Ms Wilson, I am sorry. I won’t chase after Braden anymore Please let me go and let my child go. I beg you. I beg you!”
“What’s going on here?”
Shirley looked at Amelie, who was kneeling at her, and her worldview was about to collapse.
Shirley sighed again. What was wrong with this woman?
Braden’s eyes were cold as he bent down to pull Amelie up. He said coldly, “Amelie, did you not take any medicine when you went out
today?”
“1,…”
“Damn it!”
Braden let out a long sigh. He took out the pills he carried with him and handed them to Amelie. He ordered, “Take it.”
“Braden, I don’t want to take it. The medicine is very bitter. Moreover, I am pregnant now. I can’t take medicine randomly. It is bad for my child. Please don’t give me medicine, okay? I won’t mess around anymore. I won’t disturb Ms. Wilson anymore. Don’t give me medicine!”
Amelie begged pitifully.
“Take it!” Braden said resolutely.
“I… I’ll take it. Don’t be angry. Don’t drive me away…”
Amelie took the medicine and swallowed it with tears in her eyes.
Shirley watched from the side and was shocked, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Shirley whispered to Braden, “Amelie… What happened to her? Why did she become like this?“
Chapter 208 I Hate Myself the Most
Braden watched Amelie taking all the medicine and ordered her to sit in the rest area.
Amelie did not complain. She returned to the rest area with dull eyes and sat there like a soulless zombie. She did not make any
noise.
Braden’s handsome face was tense and his eyes were cold. “You still have the nerve to ask. Why is she like this? Don’t you know?”
Shirley’s anger that had just been extinguished shot up again. “Braden, can you speak properly? If you really think that I have committed a heinous crime, you can come back at me. Don’t be so sarcastic here, always standing on the moral high ground to suppress me!”
Braden looked straight into her eyes with a hint of sadness in his eyes. He asked softly, “A little life is gone because of woman has been ruined by you. Do you really not feel guilty at all? Do you feel that you have no responsibility at all?”
“…”
you,
and

1
Shirley was speechless.
How could she not feel guilty? In the past four years, there had never been a day when she would not be condemned by her
conscience.
It was just that time could not be reversed. Shirley could not let this accident punish her for a lifetime.
“That day, I carried her, who was covered in blood, to the hospital. The doctor said… If I sent her a little earlier, the child might be saved. Amelie’s uterus could also be kept. Just a little earlier will do!”
Braden’s deep eyes were full of sadness, and the ends of his eyes were red. It was really painful and sad.
He asked Shirley in a suppressed voice, “Why did you push her? I have put her in a place you can’t see. Why are you still unwilling to
let her go?”
1…”
Shirley stood there helplessly, her palms unconsciously sweating.
She had many things to explain. She wanted to tell Braden that it wasn’t her who had taken the initiative to look for Amelie. It was Amelie who had looked for Shirley instead.
Moreover, it wasn’t her who pushed Amelie first. It was Amelie who kept provoking her, so Shirley….
However, no matter how Shirley explained it, in front of this bloody tragedy, she was not innocent, It was better not to explain!
“A little earlier, just a little bit, and this tragedy will not happen. Why are you so cruel to the point of not helping? What are you afraid
of?”
Braden’s bright eyes flashed with tears. His eyes were not filled with anger, but regret. “At that time, I had already chosen you. If I had chosen you earlier, everything would have been different!”
At that time, Braden and Shirley had left the dangerous Robinson family. He confirmed his feelings for this woman.
Braden was
also waiting for her answer, an answer to start with him all over again.
But who knew that such an accident would happen…
If it were a little earlier, he and Shirley would not end up like this!
‘I am very sorry!”
Shirley lowered her head silently and said from the bottom of her heart.
“Ever since the baby was gone, Amelie has gone crazy. The doctor found out that she has severe depression, severe anxiety, and severe mania. She must take medicine and control it for the rest of her life. After taking too many of those medicines, although they
can keep her calm, the side effects are huge. She will become crazy from then on. Only when I am by her side will she be slightly
better…”
Braden looked at the dazed Amelie and sighed. He continued, “When she is awake, she realizes that her child was gone, and she lost her uterus. She cries all day. When she relapses, she thinks that she is still pregnant. She takes me to do a prenatal checkup and goes to the toy store. She probably did not take any medicine today. She insisted that it was the child’s funeral and wanted to buy a few sets of clothes for the child. Then she met you and was stimulated. That was why her reaction was so scary.”
Braden told Shirley everything that had happened.
“I’m telling you all this not because I want to take revenge on you and suppress you I just want you to know that you are not the only one who has been aggrieved in this world. You are very aggrieved, and Amelie is very miserable. How can I not be sad?”
Braden’s expression was a little painful.
He had been sealed and did not want to mention these things again. He also told himself that he did not want to do anything for the rest of his life and just obediently atone for his sins.
However, Shirley returned. There were some things that could no longer pretend to be non–existent.
“You said that I hate you. I admit that there was a time when I really hated you and wanted to strangle you to death. However, who I hate the most was myself. It was I who did not manage the relationship between the two of you. It was I who thought too good of it. It was I who reacted too slowly and did not stop this tragedy as quickly as I could…”
Braden could no longer continue.
I
His tall body turned over and his broad back trembled slightly. It was as if he was forcing himself to swallow this sorrow.
It was rare for Shirley to see the cold and arrogant Braden. When he was so fragile and helpless, he was like a lost child.
In her memory, Shirley had only seen him like this once at his brother’s funeral.
Her heart also felt uncomfortable, and she couldn’t help but want to go forward and hold him…
Deep in her heart, a voice immediately jumped out, constantly reminding her, “Don’t be sympathetic to a man!”
In the end, Shirley only gave a few perfunctory comforting words, “Things have happened. What can we do? Take it easy!”
After all, other than taking it easy, what else could they do?
“Do you need me to do anything?”
Shirley asked Braden
Braden took a deep breath and finally adjusted his mood. He slowly turned around. His handsome face was as cold and ruthless as before, but his red eyes revealed the shameful fact that he was shedding tears.
“If you really feel guilty, then be tolerant of Amelie She may not be a good woman, but she is not an evil person. Her fate is very
miserable
Her brother loved her so much if he was still alive, their family of three would definitely be very happy
Shit happens. As the person who benefited from it, Shirley could only alleviate the guilt in her heart by treating Amelie well.
“Understood!”
Shirley nodded
it could be seen that Braden really loved Amelie Amelie was in such a sorry state, yet Braden still refused to leave her What respectful love!
No wonder Braden wanted to divorce Shirley back then!
“Amelie and I are going to that baby’s tomb now. If it’s convenient for you, let’s go together!”
Braden asked coldly.
He felt that Shirley had to resolve this matter. Otherwise, this would be a tumor that no one could let go of. Everyone was trapped in it.
However, he wasn’t sure if Shirley was willing. After all, this woman had such strong self–esteem!
“Of course, if you don’t want to, I won’t force you.”
Braden waited for the answer from Shirley.
Chapter 209 As Long as You Are Willing to
“I should go and take a look. No matter what, the child is innocent.”
Shirley chose to go with Braden and Amelie to the tomb where the child was buried.
It was the most western part of Seatle City. In the lush cypress trees, there were many tombstones, and it was a little eerie.
Shirley sat in the back seat of the car and looked at the passing trees. Her heart was a little heavy.
No matter what the grudge between her and Amelie was, this child was an absolute victim, a sin that Shirley could not escape from!
The atmosphere in the car was very depressing. The three of them did not speak, only the sound of Amelie sobbing.
Although Shirley hated Amelie, she understood how painful and desperate a mother was after experiencing these things!
“Here you are.”
Shirley took out a tissue and handed it to Amelie.
Amelie looked at Shirley with tears in her eyes. Then, she shook her head in horror and refused, “Ms. Wilson, I am not pretending to be pitiful in front of you. I am really in pain and scared… I beg you not to appear in front of me and Braden again. Because the moment I see you, I will think of the scene when you pushed me to the ground and my child left my body bit by bit. I…”
“Alright, since it is unhappy, don’t mention it again and again.”
Braden coldly interrupted Amelie, who was crying miserably.
Obviously, Braden didn’t want Shirley to avoid him because of Amelie in the future.
But Shirley replied, “Don’t worry, I will avoid seeing you even if you don’t remind me. I sincerely wish the two of you a good life.”
Since Shirley started this, she simply suggested, “The two of you will definitely grow old together. Then a child is indispensable. I was studying abroad before and I had a good relationship with professors from a famous university. They were studying the artificial uterus at that time. I will help you ask how to safely give birth to your child in this situation…”
What Shirley thought was that if they had their own children, then even if Braden knew about the existence of Bennett and Alisha, he wouldn’t come to snatch them from her. Shirley could also make up for the mistakes she had made in the past. It was a win–win
situation!
“Really? Is it really possible?”
Amelie’s eyes lit up. Her originally dull and lifeless face was instantly filled with spirit. Her voice was excited as she said, “If it is true, please help me ask about it. I don’t have any other thoughts. I just want to have a baby with Braden and make up for my regret… Braden, you will support me, right?”
Braden looked ahead, his thin lips curling into a cold smile. He did not reply, but it could be seen that he was very unhappy, and his
face was extremely ugly.
Shirley was afraid that Braden would not agree, and she was even more enthusiastic than Amelie, earnestly advising, “Mr. Stewart is not young anymore. He will be in his thirties soon. It is time to have a child. The child can not only inherit your family but also improve your relationship..
“Don’t worry about the technology not being good. This technology has been successful. It is only because of humanities, ethics, and other reasons that it has not been publicly announced. I have some connections. As long as you say yes, I can help you apply for this
artificial uterus. You.”
“Enough!”
Bladen’s face was cold. His large palm slammed down on the steering wheel. The sound of the horn was very harsh.
Shirley and Amelie were shocked and they both shut their mouths.
Braden’s cold eyes looked through the rearview mirror at Shirley, who was sitting in the back seat. He said coldly, “If you are guilty and so enthusiastic, why don’t you show us some sincerity!”
“What? As long as you are willing to have a child, feel free to mention it!”
Said Shirley impatiently.
“No matter how good an artificial uterus is, there will always be risks. Since you are so enthusiastic about helping, why don’t you offer
your own uterus?”
Shirley coughed.
“Braden, is there something wrong with your brain? Can they be the same?” Shirley almost choked on her saliva.
“If you know they’re different, then shut up. I have the choice to have a baby with anybody or when. You don’t have to worry about me!”
Braden said angrily and stopped the car.
Shirley also felt that she was too hasty.
Braden was born strong and was used to controlling everything. However, Shirley was the one who handled such a big matter. He was
definitely unhappy.
“Well, I’m sorry. I was too anxious just now. I didn’t mean anything else. I just wanted to recommend this technology to you. After all,
you and Ms. Nelson…”
“Get out of the car!”
Braden’s handsome face was extremely dark, and his tone was fierce.
“Well, where are we?”
Shirley looked around. It was obvious that they were still on the way and had not arrived yet.
“Get off!”
Braden did not say much and ordered Shirley again.
Obviously, he was driving Shirley out of the car.
It could be seen that Braden had gone crazy from anger, or else he wouldn’t be so ungentlemanly.
“Alright then!”
Shirley didn’t waste any more time as she opened the car door and got out.
The atmosphere in the car was so oppressive, and she felt uncomfortable staying here, so she might as well walk on her own.
As soon as Shirley got out of the car, the car whizzed away.
“Stingy
Looking at the car that had disappeared from her sight, Shirley could not help but complain, “I was kind enough to help you two solve the fertility problem. It’s fine if you don’t thank me, but you just threw a tantrum at me. What a jerk!”
She walked alone in the gloomy forest cemetery Besides her, there were lush pine trees, but the temperature in the summer was particularly low it was strange
At this time, a message popped up on her phone. It was from Kevin
I’ve checked the person for you. The information has been sent to your email *
Shirley opened her mailbox impatiently Tens of pages of documents had thoroughly revealed where Cordell was born, what university he had studied at, and what friends he had made
From the information, Cordell did not lie about his family background and education background. He was indeed from a highly educated family. He was also an outstanding genius. The friends he had were all well–versed. He was a clean and well–known person.
There was only one thing that was particularly strange.
Cordell had a simple love experience. Nancy was his second girlfriend.
The first one was, coincidentally, Amelie!
Amelie was Cordell’s first love when he was twenty years old. This relationship only lasted for three months before Cordell was
dumped.
Cordell was faithful. After he was dumped, he begged Amelie to stay and even committed suicide… Later, he sealed his love and devoted himself to his studies. Now, Cordell became a veritable elite. He should take over his father’s family business in the near
future.
It was normal for a man to have his past, but Cordell’s past happened to be Amelie… This made Shirley think too much.
Because Shirley was too engrossed in her phone, she unknowingly walked into a dangerous place…
Chapter 210 Shirley Is As Cold as a Stone
Because this forest was located in a remote area, the trees were dense, and there were many forks along the road. It was filled with thick fog and miasma all year round, so the magnetic field was also disturbed.
Once a person was lost, it was like walking into a maze. There was no direction. It was very dangerous.
Shirley was completely immersed in the materials Kevin had sent her. She was hesitating to tell Nancy that Cordell had committed suicide for Amelie. Suddenly, she fell into….
Then, with a bang, she rolled down the cliff and hit her head on the rock, falling into a coma.
On this side, Braden and Amelie arrived at the place where their child was buried.
In the small grave, there was a tombstone with a name and birthdate engraved on it.
“Baby, Mommy and Uncle Braden come to see you again. How are you? The weather has turned cold. Mommy bought you a lot of clothes this time. Do you like them?”
Amelie knelt in front of the tombstone and lit up the clothes she bought at the children’s clothing store. She talked to herself like she was possessed.
Braden had become very calm and even a little annoyed from the guilt he felt at the beginning.
However, when Braden thought about how Amelie was a patient now, he did not say anything. He just stood aside with a sullen face and let the woman ‘go crazy“.
Generally speaking, a fetus could not be regarded as an independent person. From the perspective of mysticism, it was not suitable to set up a tomb for a fetus. Otherwise, it would affect the fate of the family.
However, this child was too special. It was the only bloodline of Braden’s deceased brother and the only child of Amelie. Under Amelie’s pleading, Braden promised to seal the child’s body and put it in a special coffin. He found such a remote location and buried
the fetus properly.
As Amelie chattered on and on, Braden was a little absent–minded.
From time to time, he would look at the entrance of the tombstone, his thick eyebrows unconsciously furrowing.
Why hasn’t that woman caught up yet? The place where she was driven out of the car was less than two miles away from here, and it was a straight road. Normally, 20 minutes on foot will be enough.
Now it has been more than an hour, and she is still nowhere to be seen!
Amelie finally finished crying. She looked up at Braden and asked, “Braden, why isn’t Ms. Wilson here yet? I’ve told the baby everything I should say. Should we wait for her?”
Braden looked down at his watch and said coldly, “Let’s wait a little longer.”
Thus, after waiting for another half an hour, they still could not see Shirley.
Amelie wiped her tears and said in a sad voice, “Let’s not wait anymore. She’s not coming anyway. I can see that Ms. Wilson does not regret that she pushed me back then. She also does not think that she should be responsible for the death of my baby. Perhaps she thinks that I am the mistress who ruined her marriage and I deserve to be punished!
“She might have gone home by herself. Think about it, she is not a saint. How could she come to see my baby? We should not force
her to confess
Braden was silent, and his handsome face became colder and colder.
Amelie continued, “Just now in the car, she kept saying that we should give birth to a child. Isn’t this just picking on our sore spot and mocking us? This kind of insincere offering, my baby does not need it, and I don’t need her to pretend. Let’s go!”
Braden’s fingers tightened slightly.
Amelie’s words were exactly what he was thinking
He could not figure out what Shirley was thinking Why did Shirley insist on urging him to have a baby on such an occasion? Wasn’t this a complete mockery?
“You are right I have unrealistic fantasies about this woman She is a cold–blooded and selfish woman. Her heart is as cold as a stone If she really felt guilty, she would have come here long ago Why would she disappear for four years without a word?” Braden took a deep breath and told himself to wake up and not have any more fantasies about Shirley!
So, when it was almost night, he drove the car and left the forest with Amelie
Under the dark moonlight, Shirley finally woke up from her coma.
Her head was dizzy, and her left leg was broken, so she couldn’t move
With great difficulty, Shirley finally found her phone. In the end, she found that her phone was smashed and couldn’t work at all
“Damn, Braden, this jinx. As expected, the moment I see you, I get unlucky!”
Shirley looked at the dark and desolate surroundings. She was about to despair.
“Is there anyone? Help!”
She shouted at the top of her lungs, but the only response she received was a sinister response, as well as a strange crow’s cry
The pain in her head and legs made her weaker and weaker, and she didn’t even have the strength to call for help.
“I don’t want to die here today. That would be too unfair!”
In the Stewart’s old house
It was not often for the Stewart family to get together for dinner, but the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Tracy gave various hints and asked Braden if he had contacted Shirley.
Tracy was the same as Howard, who only found out on the Internet that Shirley, who had disappeared for four years, suddenly returned to Seatle City
Tracy had mixed feelings for Shirley
When Tracy found out that Shirley had killed the fetus in Amelie’s belly, she hated Shirley to the bone Tracy even ordered to find Shirley and make her pay a terrible price
However, four years had passed, and Tracy had not found Shirley, but Tracy saw that her poor son was living in pain all day and there
was no smile on his face
Tracy knew that Braden was still concerned about Shirley
Shirley was the key person to cheer her son up again.
Over time, Tracy no longer hated Shirley She only wanted her son to follow his heart and find his true happiness.
“Braden, don’t have any psychological burden No matter what choice you make, your family will unconditionally support you. Let the
past go The most important thing is to live a good life in the future!”
Tracy said earnestly
“I know what I’m doing”
Braden lowered his head to eat He didn’t want to talk too much about it.
Seeing that, everyone didn’t dare to say anything more and just continued eating
Tracy suddenly remembered something and said, “Braden, do you often go to that child’s tomb recently? I told you before that place is eerie It’s better not to go there. I watched the news a few days ago. Several streamers were found dead under the cliff when they were going hiking. You…”
“Falling off the cliff?”
Braden’s expression immediately changed.
“Yes, the terrain there is complicated, and it is full of fog all day. If you are not careful, you will get lost. It is too dangerous. You shouldn’t have chosen such a remote place back then!”
Howard said, “Since that’s the case, Braden, you shouldn’t go there again.”
“It’s not Braden who wants to go. It is Amelie who wants to go…”
Everyone was chatting at the dining table when Braden suddenly stood up. “I’m going out to do something!”
Chapter 211 The Small Possibility
Braden drove to the cemetery as fast as he could.
During the meal, Tracy’s casual talk reminded him.
The cemetery was located in a remote area. The terrain was complicated, and the cemetery was full of miasma. He was worried that Shirley would also be lost in the cemetery like the Internet celebrities who came for an adventure.
Although the possibility was very small, Braden still wanted to search for it personally.
The car glided in the darkness. The front light illuminated the road ahead. Braden controlled the steering wheel with both hands. His sharp eyes observed the surroundings as he called out
Shirley’s name.
“Shirley!”
At night, the quiet and cold forest cemetery was very empty. The abrupt sound was especially penetrating, causing birds to flutter. His voice echoed in the forest.
Soon, Braden drove the car to the place where Shirley and he separated during the day, then opened
the door of the car.
“Shirley, where are you? Answer me!”
Braden called out in an even louder voice. His voice was a little hoarse.
Unfortunately, the only response he received was the cries of the crows and endless silence.
As he shouted, Braden suddenly felt that he was a little silly.
At this moment, Shirley might have already returned home. She might be having a sweet dream now. However, he was like a fool, screaming in this gloomy place at night for the small possibility of finding her… Everyone who saw him might think that he had been bewitched.
Braden secretly clenched his fists and ordered himself to shout three more times. If there was still no response, he would immediately stop this stupid behavior.
“Shirley, if you don’t respond, I will leave!”
Braden shouted angrily.
Shirley was lying under the ramp. She was in a semi–conscious state. She felt tired and painful and had long been exhausted. Moreover, she was hungry and almost fainted from hunger.
Vaguely, she heard someone calling her name.
Shirley could tell that it was Braden.
At first, Shirley was a little excited, thinking that she could finally be saved.
However, Shirley realized that if she was really saved by Braden, she would owe him a favor for no reason, and she would also be humiliated.
Thus, she didn’t respond deliberately.
However, when she heard Braden say he would leave, she had a sense of crisis and coughed lazily.
These sounds of coughing were low. She did not expect Braden to hear them.
However, Braden, who was on the slope, heard it immediately.
“Shirley, is that you? Where are you?”
In the dark night, the road was full of twists and turns. Trees were everywhere, and there were countless pits in the dark. He could not tell where Shirley was.
Shirley continued to cough.
However, her voice became louder.
Braden caught it with his sharp senses, and his entire body tensed up. His handsome face was filled with worry as he said coldly, “I know where you are. Stay still. Don’t be afraid. I’ll come and save you immediately.”
He strode forward with his long legs and ran toward the source of the sound without saying a word.
Shirley suddenly had a bad feeling. “Hey, don’t come over here yet. Be careful…”
Before she could finish speaking, she heard a thud. Like her, Braden stepped into the pit and fell to
the bottom of the slope.
Shirley immediately moved away with her broken leg. If not for Shirley’s quick reaction, she would have been smashed to death by Braden.
“That’s so dangerous.”
Shirley clutched her beating heart, her face full of lingering fear.
Shirley said in her heart, oh my goodness. Does he come to kill me or save me?
When she looked at Braden, who was lying in front of her, she couldn’t see his expression and couldn’t figure out his condition.
“Braden, how are you? Did you faint?”
“I’m not that delicate.”
Braden covered his dislocated left leg with his large palm. Even though he was sweating from the
pain, he still put on a cold and proud look.
“That’s good.”
Shirley was finally relieved.
As expected, Braden was stronger than her. He still looked fine after falling into such a deep pit. That was unbelievable.
“How are you?”
Braden endured the pain and fumbled around in the darkness, moving closer to Shirley.
“My head and legs are broken, and I am tired and cold. Moreover, I am so starving.”
Shirley tried to get up several times, but her legs could not move at all. She could only lie helplessly
at the bottom of the pit.
When she was extremely starved, she thought that she would die there.
“How could you fall into the pit like this while walking? You are really stupid. Can’t you call for help?”
Braden was so worried that he wanted to beat Shirley up.
It had been four years, but Shirley still hadn’t improved herself at all. She didn’t know how to take
care of herself.
“My phone broke. What can I do?”
Shirley said annoyedly, “You know how to walk well, right? Didn’t you also fall? You were just luckier than me and didn’t hurt yourself.”
“I fell because I was…”
Braden suddenly stopped and fell silent.
“What do you want to say?”
Seeing that Braden was silent, Shirley teased with a smile, “Don’t you want to admit it? You fell because you are stupid. I have already reminded you. Why are you still rushing recklessly? Are there ghosts chasing you?”
“Yes, I, Braden, am indeed the most stupid person in the world. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to save you in the middle of the night.”
Braden said coldly.
Braden wondered, why didn’t this stupid woman know that I fell so miserably because I was too worried about her?
“I didn’t ask you to save me. My throat was just itchy. I coughed twice, and you rushed over on your own. Don’t blame me.”
Shirley didn’t want to owe Braden a favor.
It wasn’t easy for them to become quits. She didn’t want to be entangled with him anymore.
“Lend me your phone. I’ll call my friend to save you.”
Braden could feel that the pain in his left leg was getting worse and worse. He was afraid that he had been injured badly. He estimated that he could not even walk a few steps, let alone save Shirley.
So, Braden handed the phone to Shirley and said in a proud voice, “I want to see who can save you
except me.”
Shirley quickly took the phone and wanted to call Ewan.
However, Shirley was desperate when she saw the empty signal bars on the screen. “Where is this place? There’s no signal at all!”
“No signal?”
Braden frowned.
If they couldn’t make a call, they would have to wait for death in this wilderness since both of them
were injured.
“It’s no wonder. This place is remote, and it’s also the bottom of the pit. It’s normal that there is no
signal. I think it will be better if we climb up.”
Shirley remembered that she could still receive Kevin’s message during the day, and she might be
able to find the signal once she got out of this pit.
However, it was more than 0.6 miles away to walk from this pit to the main road. The surrounding bushes covered the lane, and it was dark. It was challenging to get out of the pit and walk to the
road.
“If so, we should try to get out of this pit.”
Braden’s voice was cold and firm in the night.
“But my legs can’t move at all. Otherwise, I would have climbed up a long time ago. I…”
Just as Shirley was worried, Braden crouched in front of her and ordered, “Hold my neck with your arms. I’ll carry you.”
Chapter 212 What’s His Purpose?
“What?”
In the dim moonlight, Shirley looked at Braden’s broad back and hesitated, “I’m afraid that’s not good, is it?”
“Hurry up. If you didn’t come up, I would leave you here alone.”
Braden urged with a cold face.
He knew that he couldn’t stand for too long with his dislocated leg. If Shirley continued to stand still, he wouldn’t be able to carry her even if he wanted to.
“Okay, then I’m coming. Since you’re not bothered to do it, I won’t say anything else.”
After saying this, Shirley threw her slender arms around Braden’s neck and lay on his back.
“Hold me tightly.”
Braden reminded in a low voice and tried his best to stand up. He was tall and couldn’t help but shake slightly because of the weight.
Shirley held her breath and didn’t dare to move. She asked softly, “Well, are you okay? Why do I feel that it’s very difficult for you to carry me? It seems that you’re going to fall to the ground.”
“I… I’m okay!”
Braden gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.
The bones in his left leg seemed to be broken. When he took a step, his bones and flesh seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, which was extremely painful.
His forehead, back, and palms were all covered in a cold sweat because of the pain.
But he couldn’t stop and let Shirley find out about it. He climbed step by step in the direction of the road as if he was being tortured…
“Braden, are you really alright? Why do I feel like you’re trembling?”
Shirley lay on Braden’s back and held her breath, asking carefully.
She felt that something was wrong with him but didn’t dare to ask too much in case he would think she was worried about him.
“What can happen to me? Do you think I’m as weak as you?”
Braden used all his strength and pretended to be calm. He even joked, “I was wrong. You can’t be weak. You’re as heavy as a pig!”
“You are talking nonsense. I weigh less than 110 pounds. You are too weak and even sweat heavily for carrying a woman. Being so tall is useless!”
Shirley was so angry that she punched Braden twice.
She thought she shouldn’t have worried about him. Braden was an egoist and wouldn’t care about her if anything was wrong with him. He even said Shirley was as heavy as a pig, which meant he was
fine!
The two of them stopped bickering. Braden held his breath, endured the pain, and finally climbed
onto the road.
He fumbled for the car door, opened it, and slowly placed Shirley in the back seat, saying, “Sit in the car and see if there are signals. Call someone to save you right now… You’re so heavy. I don’t know how much you’ve eaten in the past four years. I just don’t want to waste time here.”
“What are you talking about? If I get someone here, I won’t ask for your help even if you want to help me!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Shirley quickly took out her phone to check. Seeing the signal bars, she shouted excitedly at Braden, “There’re signals! What’s your passcode? I’ll get someone here immediately!”
Braden didn’t say anything. He covered his left leg with his hand, looking very miserable.
His fingers had been drenched in blood.
“Why don’t you speak? What’s your phone passcode?”
Shirley looked at Braden and urged him anxiously.
Braden had wanted to grab the phone and unlock it himself, but afraid that Shirley would find out that he was injured, he paused for a while and then said in a light voice, “000809.”
“000809, right? Okay!”
Shirley quickly entered the passcode to unlock the phone but soon found that the numbers were a little familiar. “Well, does the passcode have any special meaning? Why do I feel it’s a little
familiar?”
“There’s no special meaning. Hurry up and make a call!”
Braden was about to break down. He broke out in a cold sweat with pale lips because of the intense
pain.
“Oh!”
Shirley could not figure out why the passcode looked familiar. With no time to think about it, she quickly dialed a number.
The phone was quickly connected.
“Ewan, it’s Shirley. Are you free now? Come to Ebonwood Forest Cemetery to pick me up.”
On the other end of the line, Ewan was looking for Shirley anxiously and almost went to the
Stewart’s place. Receiving the call of Shirley, he became extremely excited.
Ewan and Shirley talked happily over the phone, but Braden couldn’t stand it anymore. He grabbed the phone and shouted, “Cut the crap. She’s injured. Come quickly!”
Only then did Shirley realize that Braden’s hands were covered in blood.
She suddenly became nervous and rushed over to ask, “Braden, you… why are you bleeding? Are you injured too?”
“I’m fine.”
Braden quickly withdrew his hands.
“How could you say that you’re fine with so much blood? Tell me where the injury is!”
Shirley turned on the flashlight on the phone and checked Braden’s body. She found that his left leg had been soaked in blood with dislocated bones and an obvious wound…
“Your leg!”
Shirley covered her mouth, unable to believe her eyes.
It was a shocking scene. She couldn’t imagine how he climbed up step by step with her on his back and a broken leg. She thought he must have endured great pain when taking each step!
“I’ve said I’m fine. Stop looking!”
Braden snatched the phone back again.
He had been hiding the injury all the way because he didn’t want her to see him in such a sorry state.
But she still saw it, which embarrassed him a lot!
“I’m afraid the dislocation is not just caused by a sprain. The bones might be broken, and I must fix
your leg immediately. Otherwise, you would be disabled… Let me fix it for you first!”
Shirley immediately took off her clothes and wanted to help Braden with a simple treatment.
“Ouch!”
But she forgot that she was also injured and could not move at all.
“You should treat your leg first!”
Braden tottered and held Shirley’s injured leg in his hand. Then he took her clothes and fixed them
simply.
“Don’t worry about me. Your injury is much more serious than mine. You…”
“Shut up!”
Braden prevented Shirley from moving. He had experience in dressing a wound and helped her bind up her leg.
But as he looked at the bright red blood with a fishy smell, he began to feel dizzy again and felt like throwing up…
“Braden, you won’t faint again, will you? Wake up!”
Shirley shook Braden who lay on her legs with worry, feeling helpless.
She thought, hasn’t his blood phobia been cured yet? How could he faint at this critical moment?
But thinking that he had suffered so much pain all the way by carrying her on his back, Shirley had mixed feelings.
She wondered, why couldn’t he be ruthless? Why did he save me with no thought of his safety? What’s his purpose for doing that?
When Shirley was lost in thought, Ewan rushed over as fast as he could.
“You two…”
Seeing Shirley and Braden, Ewan immediately felt a little displeased.
Chapter 213 Amputation
“It’s a long story. Take us to the hospital first!”
Shirley looked at Braden’s severely injured leg and couldn’t be bothered to explain anything to
Ewan.
“Okay!”
Ewan nodded. He endured the hatred in his heart and carried the unconscious Braden into the car.
Ewan sped all the way down to the nearby hospital. He held Shirley off the car and shouted anxiously towards the emergency center, “Doctor, help!”
Shirley looked back at Braden in the car and grabbed Ewan’s arm. “His condition is much more serious than mine. Take care of him first!”
Ewan had always been obedient to Shirley, but this time, he didn’t listen to her and rushed to the
emergency center.
He lowered his head and said, “Shirley, I love you and respect you, but don’t forget that I am also a man. I am not as generous as you think. I have done my best to send him to the hospital. I can’t do
more!”
Shirley was pushed into the operating room at the first moment and was given emergency
treatment.
Her brain was damaged, and her right leg was comminuted. Although her life was not in danger, she still had to do twenty–four hours of surveillance to eliminate other risks.
Therefore, it was not until a day later that Shirley transferred from the monitoring room to the ordinary ward and was able to get in touch with the outside world.
Her leg was covered with plaster, and she was pinned to the bed, unable to move.
“Shirley, how do you feel? Are you hungry? You haven’t eaten all day. Have some food first.” Ewan walked over to Shirley with a worried look on his face and took out some nutritious food.
Shirley had been starving, but she wasn’t in the mood to eat. She grabbed Ewan’s arm and asked nervously, “How is Braden? Is his leg alright?”
Ewan’s face darkened as he avoided the topic.
He took a spoonful of porridge and blew on it. Then he coaxed in a spoiled tone, “Shirley, I bring you some porridge. It’s good for your healing. Take a few sips while it’s hot.”
Shirley pushed it away and insisted on knowing about Braden’s condition. “Tell me. How is he? I
can only eat at ease when I’m sure he’s safe.”
“It’s been four years, and you still can’t let go of him, can you?”
Ewan coldly put the spoon on the plate. His handsome face was gloomy and showed sadness. He said softly, “Even though I have been by your side for so many years and am willing to do anything for you, even putting the future of the entire Parker family at the risk, I still could not replace his position in your heart, right?”
“Ewan, don’t be like this. You know that’s not what I meant. I just…”
“I can’t stand this anymore. I am not your pet. The two of us are going to get married. Do you think we can become husband and wife in our current state?”
Ewan gazed into Shirley’s eyes. His eyes were filled with deep affection.
He had wanted to ask Shirley this question a long time ago, but he knew very well that even if he did, it would only bring humiliation.
He thought that in four years, he could move Shirley and make her forget Braden.
But who would have thought that she was entangled with that man again just after she returned?
How could he not care?
“Braden is a bastard. He hurt you badly. Why can’t you forget him? Is he that good?”
Ewan could not help but ask Shirley excitedly.
Shirley understood Ewan’s rage. She was not angry. Instead, she calmly looked at him. “Then do you know why I care so much about him?”
“What else could it be? You can’t let go of him! You still love him!”
Ewan turned around. He was unhappy, like a child throwing a tantrum.
“It’s because he endured the pain in his injured leg and carried me from the bottom of the slope to
the road. If anything happens to him, I won’t be able to repay this favor for the rest of my life. I was
afraid that I would be entangled with him all my life, so I asked you how he is now. Do you
understand?”
Shirley explained to Ewan patiently.
“What? He… He carried you up?”
Ewan turned around, and his eyes widened. “I don’t believe it. His leg is injured to such an extent that he can’t even walk. How could he carry you all the way up? It can’t be true!”
“I didn’t believe it at first. That person is cold, heartless, and selfish. But that’s the truth. If not for him, I would still be lying at the bottom of the slope. In that case, I’m afraid I would have died of pain or have starved to death…”
When Shirley recalled the scene of Braden carrying her up the slope step by step in the dark, she still felt like she was in a dream.
Even close relatives might not be able to do that with such unbearable pain, let alone Braden who had always wanted her dead!
“How is it possible? His leg is injured like that. There is no way he can do that!”
Ewan shook his head constantly, unable to accept the fact.
Ewan knew better than Shirley how serious Braden’s leg injury was. It was impossible for a human with mortal flesh to withstand that kind of pain!
“So, can you tell me now how his condition is? How is his leg…?”
Shirley asked again.
Ewan’s reactions made her have a bad feeling.
“I don’t know yet!”
Ewan took a deep breath and finally confessed, “He’s still in the operation. The doctors said that his situation was very complicated and they had already set up an expert team. There is no decision at the moment of whether to take the conservative treatment or the risky treatment.”
Shirley’s face darkened, and she immediately asked, “What is the conservative treatment, and what is the risky treatment?”
“The conservative treatment is to first preserve his leg, and then proceed with other treatments.
However, his condition is too serious with lots of fractures on his leg and some tissue necrosis,
resulting in a lack of blood flow. If he doesn’t have amputation in time, causing his entire body to be
infected, it might endanger his life…”
“What?”
Shirley felt her mind go blank and she was unable to think.
9
She did not expect that a small accident would cause such a big consequence.
Fractures on the leg!
Tissue necrosis!
A lack of blood flow!
Amputation!
Every word Ewan said was like a bullet that pierced her heart.
“He must have been injured so badly because of carrying me for too long. Take me to see him.
Hurry up! Take me to see him!”
Shirley grabbed Ewan’s hand and pleaded with tears.
Seeing her like this made Ewan extremely sad.
“Don’t blame yourself. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I didn’t send him to the rescue
immediately. If he is amputated, I will compensate him with my leg!”
Chapter 214 Sorry for Your Loss
Ewan couldn’t bear to see Shirley depressed and said, “Don’t worry, just lie down and have some rest. I’ll go ask the doctor. I’m sure Braden will be fine. He’s not that easy to die.”
“Yes, he has always been lucky. Such a small accident won’t hurt him!”
Shirley calmed down a little and then urged Ewan, “Don’t waste your time here. Go and find the latest news, or I can only go by myself!”
“Don’t move! I’ll go right away!”
Ewan got up and was about to leave, but he was worried about Shirley. He pointed at the food he brought and said, “Shirley, I hope you will finish the food before I come back. Think about the two children. You need to take care of yourself.”
After Ewan left, Shirley was still anxious and couldn’t eat.
She couldn’t imagine how she would survive the rest of her life if Braden died or lost a leg!
Soon, Ewan returned to the ward. He looked solemn.
“How is it? What did the doctor say?”
Shirley asked anxiously.
If she hadn’t been fixed on the bed and couldn’t move, she would have rushed over.
Ewan didn’t answer. Instead, he looked at the food untouched and said in a reproachful tone, “Why don’t you eat? You haven’t eaten for so long, and you just had an operation. Do you want to die?”
“Ewan, don’t be angry. I know you are worried about me, but you must understand. Braden might lose a leg, and his life is still in danger. How can I have the mood to eat?”
Shirley’s eyes turned red. Her voice choked as she said, “Don’t keep me in suspense. Tell me. What is the doctor’s final plan?”
Ewan hesitated for a moment and said, “An expert came over just now and said that his condition
wasn’t that bad to have an amputation. He could choose the conservative treatment and will recover after the surgery.”
“Really?”
Shirley was skeptical.
It was totally different from what he had said before.
“You didn’t lie to me to make me feel better, did you?”
Ewan denied, “Shirley, I have always been loyal to you. When have I ever lied to you!
“Then why do you have this heavy–looking?”
Shirley questioned.
Ewan explained, “Why shouldn’t I? That guy is my number one love rival. I would celebrate if he had been amputated or died. Now that he is safe and sound, he becomes the great hero who saved you even if he had to bear the risk of losing his leg. I am almost destined to lose you. How can I be happy?”
Hearing this, Shirley was completely relieved and finally revealed a relaxed smile.
“Luckily, he is fine. Now I can eat and sleep well. Otherwise, I will feel guilty even when I breathe!”
“I told you he will be fine. There is no need to worry about him at all. Hurry up and eat. You can’t be starving anymore.”
“You’re right. I’m really hungry!”
Shirley was refreshed. She picked up the food and started munching.
She didn’t notice that while she was concentrating on eating, Ewan couldn’t help but sigh several
times.
In fact, Braden’s situation was more serious than he had said. There were too many necrotic tissues in his leg. Not only was there a need for amputation, but there was also even a risk to his life!
“I’m done eating. I’m so full!”
Shirley patted her belly with satisfaction and asked Ewan, “Did the doctor say when I can remove the plaster and be discharged?”
“That depends on your physical fitness and cooperation, the amount of time needed varying from two weeks to a few months.”
“Then I have to take a good rest. When I am fully recovered and discharged from the hospital, I have
to thank him formally.”
Hearing this, Ewan panicked and hurriedly said, “There is no need to thank him. He did not treat you well in the past. He owes you this!”
Ewan was afraid that if something really happened to Braden, Shirley would not be able to bear it. It was better for her to never see him or hear his news again!
“Ewan, are you jealous of Braden? Are you afraid that we would get back together?”
Shirley patted Ewan’s shoulder like he was a three–year–old child. “Sweetie, I promise you that even if all the men in the world are dead, I would not get back with him. You can trust me, okay?”
Shirley said as she poked Ewan’s handsome face. “Look at you! How cute you are! Now can you show me a smile?”
“Okay.”
Ewan nodded and sighed.
Shirley was probably the only person in the entire Seatle City who dare to treat him as a kid!
Right now, Ewan only hoped that Braden would survive the operation.
After Ewan watched Shirley fall asleep, he ran to the operating room where Braden was.
Braden was Ewan’s number one love rival and he used to be bad to Shirley. As a result, Ewan didn’t
like him at all.
However, considering that Braden was Shirley’s most beloved man and the biological father of the two babies, Ewan still didn’t want him to die.
Even though he loved Shirley to the bone and could sacrifice anything for her, Ewan was already prepared to give up if the two of them really get back together!
The door of the operating room was shut. The operation was still on.
It was late. There was no one outside of the room except Ewan.
He looked at the red light that flashed in the operating room and waited nervously.
Ewan never expected that one day, he would worry about the safety of his number one love rival!
Hours had passed. Ewan’s legs were almost numb. Finally, the door opened.
The doctor walked out, shaking his head and sighing.
“Doctor, how is he? Is he… is he okay?”
“Sorry, we tried our best. His wound is seriously necrotic and has triggered a whole body infection,
there’s nothing more we can do…”
“That’s impossible! He can’t die!”
Ewan staggered.
The doctor patted him and said, “I’m really sorry for your loss.”
