Drowning In His Deep Love (Re-edited) novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79 Alexander Was So Regretful

Florence was in the hospital at this time. After she left the police station, she came directly to the hospital to visit Zachary.

As for what had happened tonight, Florence didn't reveal a word about it, and her expression was normal. Zachary didn't notice anything wrong with her.

Zachary was going to have surgery tomorrow, and he was still very nervous.

"Sis, if I can't survive the surgery tomorrow, you can't cry. I don't want to see you cry." Zachary pretended to be relaxed. "It's not a big deal. We will still be siblings in the next life."

"Stop talking nonsense." Florence rolled her eyes and said, "The operation will go smoothly, so don't overthink it. Take a good rest, get enough energy, and get ready for tomorrow's operation."

"I mean 'if'." Zachary smiled, showing a bit of cynicism and loneliness.

Even if the expert Timothy would personally perform the surgery, there was also a risk, and no one could make sure that he could really get off the operating table alive.

"There is no if." Florence helped tuck Zachary into his bed and said, "Have a good sleep."

"Sis." Zachary eyed Florence, and his eyes were gloomy with a trace of tears. But he forced a smile on his face, "If something really happens to me, can you help me find them? I just want to know why they don't want me. Do they hate me?"

The word "they" that Zachary referred to were his biological parents. He had been comforting himself for so many years that it was because of his illness that he was abandoned by his parents.

It was almost early morning when Florence left the ward.

The cold wind made her feel cold.

She walked down the steps and suddenly stood still. Her eyes fell on Alexander who was standing not far away.

Alexander stood under the street lamp with a cane. He was looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Alexander."

Florence felt a jolt in her heart and the scenes about the car accident came to her mind. She whispered and suddenly ran toward Alexander.

Florence hugged Alexander excitedly and her eyelashes were wet by her tears. "I'm really afraid that I won't be able to see you again."

Even if William had called him, she still felt uneasy when he stood right before her.

When Alexander stood in front of her alive, the emotion she had suppressed for so long finally broke out.

Florence hugged Alexander tightly and sobbed.

"I'm back." Alexander smiled and hugged Florence. He wished they could melt into each other. "I'm sorry to make you worry about me."

Florence hugged him for a while until she calmed down. Then she angrily beat Alexander's chest. "Who told you to risk your life? Alexander, you did it on purpose. If something really happens to you, do you want me to be guilty for the rest of my life?"

Florence cried, and she still remembered the panic she felt at the time.

The feeling when the doctor gave the critical illness notification was still fresh in her mind. She was really afraid that Alexander would die, and afraid that he would lose his legs.

"I'm sorry." Alexander smiled and held Florence's hands in his palm.

"You think it's fine to just say 'I'm sorry'?" Florence pretended as if she wouldn’t forgive him.

Alexander suddenly coughed badly, his body swaying as if he could not stand steadily.

"Alexander, are you okay?" Florence was frightened, and quickly got him.

"I pretended to be lame, and it almost came true. Do you still think I was okay?" Alexander teased. "If I was dead or lame, Kingston and his son would profit a lot."

Florence was startled, and she stared at him with her eyes filled with shock and mixed feelings.

Alexander admitted that he was the head of the Logan family, and that he was not an Uber driver at all.

Florence loosened Alexander little by little and stepped back to widen their distance.

Even if she had already guessed that he was the person in charge of the Logan family, she couldn't believe it when Alexander admitted it.

"Florrie... Florrie." Alexander furrowed his eyebrows and began to feel panicked.

Florence's eyes flickered. She curled her mouth and forced a smile. The memories that she had with Alexander came to her mind. She was deceived and played like a fool.

Florence sneered, "A billionaire Uber driver?"

Alexander couldn't think of anything to say.

Florence eyed Alexander's legs and face. She gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Logan, as the rumors go, is a disfigured and crippled man. But from what I see, you can walk and have a fair-skinned face."

Alexander was silent.

Florence was in a rage. "Didn't you say that you couldn't survive for long?"
