No Renewal My Contract Husband (Nella and Alfred) novel Chapter 287

Chapter 287 Magic Switch

(61)

Finished

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside the hospital room. They came with Zoey’s broken, sobbing voice.

“Alfred…”

Alfred turned toward the door.

The moment he saw Zoey, the dark look in his eyes froze over, like thin ice forming in a second.

“Here you are,” he said.

His voice was low and flat. You couldn’t hear any emotion in it. Yet somehow, the air in the room seemed to lock in place.

Zoey didn’t notice any of that. Alfred spoke to her first, using that familiar tone she hadn’t heard in a long time, which made her eyes light up.

“Alfred…”

She pushed past Ryan and rushed toward him.

“Alfred, Nella-uh-”

She didn’t get to finish. Suddenly, a powerful hand closed around her neck. All her words were crushed back into her throat.

“Alfred…”

As the grip slowly tightened, the shock in Zoey’s eyes turned into

pure terror.

She slapped at Alfred’s hand again and again. Her eyes begged him to stop.

But the cold fury in Alfred’s gaze only grew stronger. His grip tightened instead of loosening.

“What message

did

you send

my

wife?” he asked. “You almost got her killed.”

“Zoey,” he continued calmly, “how dare you play games with me?”

His tone sounded almost casual. Like he was having an ordinary conversation.

But his eyes were ice-cold, filled with open killing intent. It felt like he could snap her neck the very next second.

Zoey was truly terrified now.

Her long-held belief-Alfred will always love me-collapsed as his fingers closed tighter.

Others were watching the drama unfold from the side. Zoey was really about to pass out; they finally rushed forward and tried to pull Alfred away.

“If you don’t let go,” Mason said sharply, “you’re really going to kill her.”

Alfred’s hand was like a pair of iron clamps. Ryan and Archie both tried, but neither could his fingers open.

For one brief moment, everyone in the room believed it. Alfred really wanted Zoey dead.

And with the power of his family, Zoey could disappear quietly.

Even so, Mason added one more sentence.

“If you kill her and go to prison, your future kids with Nella won’t have a normal life.”

Alfred didn’t loosen his grip.

Kids?

He didn’t even have a wife anymore. What kids were there to talk about?

The thought only made his grip tighten further.

Mason clicked his tongue in frustration.

“If you go to prison, Nella will marry someone else.”

That sentence was like flipping a switch. Alfred’s hand suddenly released.

Mason was speechless.

In the end, the magic switch turned out to be Nella.

Fresh air rushed into her lungs all at once. Zoey clutched her neck and coughed hard, collapsing onto the floor as her legs gave out.

Fear wrapped around her whole body, making her shake uncontrollably.

But even through the terror, Alfred’s words echoed in her mind.

A message?

She had sent that bitch so many messages. Which one was he talking about?

Almost got her killed…

Zoey’s already frightened eyes filled with an even deeper fear as a terrible thought surfaced.
