He looked at her from a distance, who became much slimmer than the first time he saw her in the hospital. Besides, she didn’t look well, pausing for a rest after she took several paces.
He never saw her like this before because she was a doctor herself who could avoid many ailments and diseases and attached great importance to the healthy life.
In the five years overseas, even John fell ill but she never felt sick. She used to be a fit and gorgeous lady but now she was ruined by Edward.
John had no idea what he was going to say. He knew clearly that she was resilient and strong but often got stubborn every time she dealt with something related to Edward.
John was pleased while angry.
He was angry at Edward who didn’t give her a good life; meanwhile, he felt lucky because he might leave her a positive impression as the opposite of Edward.
Perhaps, after the accident, Alice would never love Edward again. What’s more, he and Alice had known each other for so long a time, so he might have the chance to be her boyfriend.
No matter how he felt now, he was determined to do one thing.
That is, to take her away.
John wrote a note and asked the doctor to give it to Alice.
“If you want to leave, please call me. I am always ready to help you.”
After Alice finished the examination, she got a note from a doctor. Although she didn’t know what it was, she was inclined to hide it from others.
Luckily, the safeguards would not intrude her privacy so she managed to conceal it. When she was home, she opened the note secretly. Although it was not addressed without any phone number like a little trick, she knew it was from John.
Should she leave?
Maybe it’s an easy question for she had been ready to leave Edward who, however, always kept connections with her and treated her mildly with warmth and love, which touched her deeply.
During the pregnancy, she wanted to abandon the baby and to leave Edward because she was unsettled about the future and her mother was controlled by Janet.
But she was sorry to the baby and Edward took a good care of her so she decided to deliver their baby.
But now, the baby was gone so why did she still stay?
Perhaps, it’s because of Edward whose grief was witnessed by her. Therefore, although he didn’t come back these days, she didn’t want to leave.
Perhaps, Edward was more important to her than she thought.
‘I was born like a bitch’, she thought.
Edward didn’t return so long that he might find the girl who he was looking for to live together through the rest of his life. So there might be no need for her to explain what she wanted to accounted for.
She intended to give him an explanation when he came back. But what did she have to explain? The baby or the car accident? Those happening in the past were in no need of any explanation.
