"I can see that Alice Gu is very happy when she is with Harrison Bai. Alice even told her that she would marry Harrison one day and give birth to a lovely baby for him. "
Speaking of this, Sherri Leng turned to look at Elliot Mo and said, "Elliot, at that time, I thought that Alice was really crazy. She wanted to marry herself to someone at such a young age."
"It's always too late to marry the right person." Says Elliot to Sherri with a laugh.
"Of course not! We haven't even graduated from college at that time! "
"Well, It's too late for me to marry you now." Elliot said in a low and hoarse voice.
All of a sudden, Sherri blushed and felt very embarrassed. She picked up the warm water beside the table and took a big gulp. Pretending not to hear what he had just said, she continued, "but then, Alice started coughing for no reason, and she coughed till night. We asked her and she said it was just because she was allergic to dust.
We were so stupid that we believed her excuse. It was not until I found out that Alice had blood on her handkerchief that she told me that she had been diagnosed with lung cancer.
I thought I heard it wrong, but when I saw the physical examination report, which was written in black and white, with the signature of the doctor and the hospital's stamp on it, I had to believe it, Elliot. After that, I thought it's necessary to tell Harrison. After all, they are lovers, and he had the right to know about Alice's condition. "
"Sherri," Elliot interrupted her, "let's not have anything hidden behind us in the future, okay?"
"Okay."
Memories flooded into her mind. Sherri just wanted to finish the story and perfunctorily promised Elliot to continue to recall.
"During that time, I was with Alice. Although I didn't do anything, but I know clearly that she needed companionship the most.
We had lied to Harrison saying that It's just a minor illness, and Alice can't keep in touch with him for a long time.
He often comes to me asking about Alice's illness. There was nothing I can do between them, I couldn't talk to him, and I can't say too much. But I didn't expect that he misunderstood me in the end. " Speaking of this, Elliot noticed the bitter expression on Sherri's face.
Elliot reached out his hand and touched Sherri's hair.
The warmth of Elliot's palm passed directly into Sherri's heart through her hair. After calming herself down, she continued, "later, Alice committed suicide."
"Alice took the medicine to commit suicide. In order to protect her, I can only say that I made a mistake by accident which had led to her death.
At that time, there was really no way to cure Alice's disease. It can only be delayed, and she lived a painfully every day.
Her parents of the Gu family knew my difficulties and didn't blame me, but I couldn't let Harrison know that Alice was so painful at the end. He didn't know these, he thought that it was me that had caused the death of Alice, and he seemed unnatural when facing me starting from then. "
"I understand Harrison. After all, I always know the relationship between him and Alice.
On the one hand, he hates me very much. He blames me for not taking good care of Alice and killing her by accident; on the other hand, he is tolerating me as well, because the death of Alice had also been a big blow to me. At that time, I also blamed myself for not taking good care of her and missing out her feelings, not to mention that her parents didn't say anything to me.
At that time, Harrison wished that he could sue me for murder by accident as he was the best student in the law department. "
When Sherri said this, she smiled helplessly.
It was a little difficult for Sherri to continue. Holding her hand, Elliot said "don't worry, Sherri."
"Elliot, I still remember how Harrison asked me to give him Alice back, who should have been alive, with his red eyes.
He kept asking me why I made such a stupid mistake. He said that I didn't deserve to be Alice's best friend.
I think Harrison must have been crazy at that time. I was afraid that he will follow after Alice and do something stupid so I cooperated with him and kept apologizing. "
"You didn't betray anyone." Elliot stroked her hair lovingly.
"That's it. That's the whole story." Because of the death of Alice, Harrison began to hate me very much, but I still can't believe that he is somehow involved in this matter. If that's the case, then there is really no mercy between us. "
Leaning her head against his broad and strong shoulder, Sherri finally spoke out the secret that had been suppressed in her heart for many years.
"My parents were killed, my family business fell into someone else's hands, and my ex-boyfriend betrayed me. Harrison, who was like a brother to me, had also helped my enemy. Except for Alina, I have no other relatives. I'm afraid that I have no one to rely and trust on now in this world."
Sherri closed her eyes helplessly.
"You still have me." Seeing how sad Sherri is, Elliot felt a little regretful to come to ask her about it. If he had known it earlier, he would have investigated it himself.
"Don't you remember that you are my wife now? How can you have no relatives?"
Looking up at the man who had helped her and comforted her and who she relied on again and again, she said, "thank you."
"Sherri, don't you have anything else to say except thank you?" Elliot let out a long sigh, with a look of disappointment.
Looking at the confused look on Sherri's face, he smiled helplessly and said, "It's obvious that we are a couple now, so there's no need to say thanks to me. I said that you should get used to the identity of Mrs. mo."
"Then what can I say if I don't say thank you?" Sherri's voice was like a mosquito's hum, but it was still heard by Elliot.
