That day, Edward Smith stayed in Alice Roberts’ ward. If they tortured each other, Edward must torture himself now.
Seeing the two people’s unexpectedly harmonious figures reflected in the window, Edward frowned and his thin lips closed tightly, the fire burning in his chest. Until Alice saw something and gave a big smile like the sunshine. It was a heartfelt smile after the car accident, and it thoroughly annoyed Edward.
He clenched fists tightly, and shut inside John Blake, breaking into the room. Without a word, he directly hit John in the face.
John did not recover so that he naturally could not bear the full blow of Edward. He tottered and even almost fell to the ground. Alice sat up hurriedly to hold him. But Edward stopped her.
Now John was not even as healthy as a child. Obviously, Alice was weak out of accident. Edward took the full control.
Alice was anxious because John’s health got worse for her. She did not want John to be hurt again for her, or suffer a blow from a man who once robbed him of his marriage.
Alice stretched out her hands to pull Edward, but he avoided. Edward grabbed John by the collar with one hand and lifted him out of the ward, and then threw him to the ground brutally. “Get Out!”
Alice was very worried, but she was too badly injured to move. She could do nothing but watch that John was thrown out of ward. Fortunately, this was the hospital. If anything went wrong, they could get a doctor on the spot.
Edward ignored them and just stood at the door coldly. Until he saw John got up and left. He turned to look at Alice, expressionless. Alice suddenly felt a little scared. Whether angry or happy, he never looked like that.
After going through the discharge formalities quickly, Alice moved into the villa. She just left for a week, but as if for a century.
***
The small garden of the villa was still the same, so was the room with French windows and even the sunshine and scenery, but the warm and homey atmosphere had disappeared.
Edward stood at the garden gate, looking at her in the window, which was the similar scene. Once he thought it the world’s most beautiful scenery. Love was within reach and happiness seemed to be around him.
But now, the things were still there, but men were no more the same ones. He wondered, ‘What did she thought?’
Because of Alice’s injury, Edward hired a nurse. The scenery of the villa remained the same, but Alice felt that it had become a cage.
