My Sleeping Beauty Husband novel (Cynthia and Alston) novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 You Misunderstood

“Mrs. Smith, you are awake!”

Greg heard her scream and rushed over in surprise.

Cynthia stared at the ceiling, and there was still despair and panic in her eyes.

After a long time, she rolled her eyes, looked at Greg, and asked in a hoarse voice, “I’m not dead?”

“Of course, you’re not dead.” Greg looked at her pale face, and she was no longer as lively as usual.

you die?” His heart was a little sour. “Mr. Smith is always good at shooting. How could he let

Mr. Smith?

When Cynthia heard this name, she looked behind him but didn’t see Alston. Her eyelashes drooped, covering the sadness in her eyes.

“Where is he?”

Before Greg could answer, the nurse on the side replied, “Miss Taylor’s nurse came just now, so Mr. Smith is probably in Miss Taylor’s ward.”

Hulda?

Cynthia was short of breath and coughed violently. The wound tore again, and the blood suddenly

flowed out.

The nurse was startled. She had stayed in the hospital for two days and saw Mr. Smith take care of Cynthia without resting. She knew that Cynthia was very important to Alston, so she felt very sorry when she saw Cynthia had such a big reaction to her words. Thus, she called the doctor to treat Cynthia’s wound immediately.

Greg gave the nurse a reproachful look and explained to Cynthia, “Don’t listen to her nonsense. Mr. Smith has stayed with you for two days. He went to Miss Taylor’s ward because she had some other matters. He will be pleased to know that you are awake. I’ll go and find him.”

“No need!” Cynthia waved her hand and stopped him with an indifferent expression. “Greg, you have taken care of Alston for many years, so you must know this Hulda. I want to know her relationship with Alston.”

She came straight to the point and asked. Greg paused for a second and said, “Mr. Smith and Miss Taylor had a relationship when they were in school…”

Cynthia smiled coolly. No wonder he couldn’t get it over for so many years. It turned out they were a student couple.

The Miller family treated him with the worst attitude, yet he still kept her around as a replacement.

It seemed that Hulda indeed meant a lot to him.

Greg saw her expression and panicked, and he quickly explained, “Mrs. Smith, although Mr. Smith had a relationship with her, it was old-time history. He really likes you now, and he…”

“All right, don’t say it anymore.” Cynthia interrupted Greg directly, looking pale and tired. “I already got the answer I need. Please go out. I want to be alone.”

When Greg saw this, he sighed and left the ward with the nurse. Before he left, he explained to Cynthia, “Mr. Smith saved her only for the old time’s sake and nothing else.”

How ironic. Alston even liked a similar woman for the old time’s sake.

Cynthia smiled, lay down, and looked at the ceiling expressionlessly, thinking about what she

should do next.

For a whole month, she actually believed that Alston fancied her deeply. Until yesterday, all of her fantasies were shattered when he pointed the gun at her to save Hulda without even the slightest.

hesitation.

Now it seemed that his one true love had returned, Cynthia wondered if she should give up being

Mrs. Smith as a replacement.

Cynthia clutched the quilt tightly, and her knuckles turned white. She had no other relationship with Alston except for their marriage. If they got divorced, she would never get close to him again.

Alston would have another woman around him. This woman would become his wife, be intimate with him, and even carry his child.

When she thought of this, her heart felt as if it had been abruptly torn in two, and her eyes were red

in pain.
