chanter 18 Stir Cannot Wait for You Forever
time. You’d better apologize to her.
“I know you actually have her in your heart, or else you wouldn’t have done so many abnormal things. If you don’t want to divorce, don’t be muddle–headed.
“She cannot wait for you forever.”
Robin hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Joshua threw his phone aside.
Did he look like he liked Anaya?
This was ridiculous.
How was she worthy of his liking?
Chapter 18 Yellow Rose
Alex drove to Joshua‘s place and picked him up right on time.
Joshua sat in the back of the car and flipped through the finance section of the morning news.
At an intersection, the car stopped to wait for the green light.
Joshua suddenly called out Alex‘s name.
“Yes, Mr. Maltz?”
“Order a bunch of yellow roses and send them to Ana...”
Joshua‘s phone rang before he could finish lis sentence.
Someone called from the hospital and said that Lexie was seriously injured.
He also mentioned Anaya was responsible for it.
Joshua‘s heart tightened. He hung up the phone and said anxiously, “Turn around and take me to the hospital!”
Alex had vaguely heard what the man said on the other end of the phone and asked carefully, “Do I still have to send the flowers?”
Joshua did not answer Alex‘s question. “To the hospital!” he repeated coldly.
Alex didn‘t dare to let Joshua wait for too long. Thus, when the light turned green, Alex stepped on the gas and headed to the hospital.
Joshua rushed into the building after he arrived, and just before he entered the room, he heard Anaya‘s bitter voice. “Don‘t wrap up the wound, or it‘ll stop bleeding soon.”
Joshua opened the door with a darkened face.
Lexie‘s eyes turned red the moment she saw Joshua enter the room. “Joshua...” she whispered.
“How are you feeling?” Joshua strode to the bedside and asked.
Lexie bit her lips and shook her head as if she was in great pain. “Nothing serious. The wound isn‘t that deep.”
“What the hell happened?”
Lexie was waiting for Joshua to ask what had happened so that she could tell Anaya‘s horrendous deeds. But then, Lexie remembered what Anaya said before leaving the company.
She paused and went straight to the point. “I went to explain what happened last night to Anaya. I wanted to tell Anaya that nothing happened between you and me, but I didn‘t expect that she wouldn‘t listen to me at all and even stabbed me.
“She said that you wouldn‘t divorce her anyway. You‘ve stood her up several times. So you must care about her. So it didn‘t matter even if she killed me...”
Anaya watched them and shook her head.
Joshua was probably the only one who would believe Lexie‘s pretentious act and made–up stories.
As expected, Joshua believed Lexie without hesitation. He looked around and saw a pile of bandages covered in blood on the cart. His eyes turned red. He dashed to Anaya and grabbed her collar.
“Why do you always hurt Lexie, Anaya? Do you really think you can get away with anything?”
Anaya was calm as she faced Joshua‘s thunderous expression.
How many times had this happened?
Memories churned in Anaya‘s head.
She lost count.
