Edward had to go to the hospital in person. Although he had no affection for Celine, they were neighbors and grew up together. When they were young, Celine liked to cry. Edward had always taken Celine as his sister.
"Doctor, how is Celine?" As soon as Edward arrived at the hospital, he anxiously asked the doctor who had just come out of the operating room.
"Are you Celine's family? She slit her wrists and made her lose too much blood. Fortunately she came in time and just managed to save herself from danger," the doctor said gravely.
"Well, I am her brother. Thank you, Doctor." Edward thought for a moment and said. He wanted to avoid unnecessary rumour in the future.
He heard that pregnant women were generally sensitive and fragile. He didn't want to depress Irene anymore.
"As her family, you need to pay more attention to the her emotions. The patient has lost too much blood and is very weak, and her will to survive is not strong." The doctor warned responsibly.
"Thank you, doctor. I will pay attention to her. May I go in and have a check?" Edward asked.
"Yes, but be quilt and do not disturb the patient's rest. It is a pity that she want to end her life at this beautiful age. You must persuade her to cherish her life." said the doctor.
After all, most doctors healed people, so they didn't want to see any death. What's more,Celine was still young.
When Edward came into Celine's ward, he smelled a strong smell of disinfectant.
When he saw Celine's pale face, he could not help but feel sorry for her. After all, they had grown up together. As he looked at her, Edward remembered many things happened in their childhood.
"Edward, you... are here." Celine slowly opened her eyes and saw Edward, the man she missed so much. She tried to get up even she was still weak.
Edward quickly stopped her action.
"Celine, how can you do that to yourself? You are very weak now, so you need to rest." Edward patiently talked to her, and his eyes were full of compassion.
"I, I am thirsty. I need water." Edward got her up sowly and brought her a cup of water.
"Celine, you are still weak now. Let me feed you." Edward carefully fed her bit by bit.
Edward had not noticed, however, that a reporter outside the hospital was taking pictures of them. In the picture, Edward was feeding Celine carefully and considerately .
This reporter was hired by Eric and Celine. Celine's suicide was also part of their plan. Celine wanted love, while Eric wanted wealth and status, naturally they became together and targeted Edward and Irene.
Edward, however, had not noticed that danger and misunderstanding were approaching him and Irene step by step.
"Well, Edward, I can not get over it. I still love. How much we loved each other? Now you leave me and embrace another woman. I really do not want to live anymore. What's the point of living alone? I'd rather die."
Celine started her acting. This plan was mostly planned by Eric. But Celine also put in a lot of effort to make Edward show up here.
Edward did not want Celine to have any fancies about him. Although he didn't want to provoked her, he still made up his mind and decided to make their relationship clear.
"Celine, I am sorry." Edward said slowly and observed if Celine could accept it.
"Edward, you have not failed me. I did it all for myself." When Celine heard Edward's apology, she felt happy. She thought Edward was softhearted heart and her plot worked.
"Celine, we grew up together. I think you understand me. I hate being forced by others." Edward said, and he found her expression did not changed.
So, Edward decided to finish what he wanted to say. It would be good for everyone.
"Well, Edward, I know you, so I never force you to do anything for me. I'm not someone..." Celine deliberately stressed the words "force" and "someone".
Her intention was simple. She only meant to tell him that it was not her but Irene who had forced him. Edward definitely knew what she meant.
