A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 124

"Okay." William didn't force me to leave. He didn't even get angry, which made me feel relieved.

After William left, I said coldly to Paul, "Let's go."

In the final analysis, it was because of me that Edward was so badly injured.

When I thought that I was almost burned to death in the fire, and... when those killers wanted to kill me, it was Edward who saved me. For a moment, I had a lot of feelings in my heart.

These feelings made me feel a little absent-minded. I didn't even know whether I was right or wrong...

"Ashley." In the middle of the night, when I was sleeping in a daze, I heard the hoarse voice of Edward on the bed not far away.

When I heard that, I immediately got up from the sofa and came to his bed.

When I came to the bedside of Edward, I looked at him in a daze. Edward had opened his eyes. His black phoenix eyes were fixed on me with affections.

The light in the room was a little blurry, and it fell on his face lightly.

At this moment, Edward looked very handsome and gentle.

I looked at Edward quietly for a long time, then he reached out and held my hand. The warmth of his hand stimulated me. When I was about to get rid of his hand in a panic, he grabbed my hand with great force.

"Let me go." I raised my eyebrows and said with a cold face.

"That's great. I can see you as soon as I open my eyes," Edward said to me in a hoarse voice, ignoring the anger on my face.

It couldn't be denied that when I heard his lonely and even fragile voice, I felt a little sad.

I pursed my lips and cast a glance at him, allowing him to hold my hand.

Edward forced himself to open his eyes and kept looking at me, which made me uncomfortable all over. It was so late, and I wanted to sleep, but he stared at me with his eyes and made me no way to sleep.

"Are you done? Go to sleep." I shook off his hands impatiently. I didn't expect that he pulled me into his arms with all his strength.

"Edward." Just as I was about to struggle, I heard his deep voice.

"The wound hurts." When I heard it, I couldn't help but stiffen my body.

Then, I thought about it. Why should I feel sorry for him?

Pursing my lips, I quietly leaned into his arms and didn't speak anymore.

His heartbeat was very steady, and I could hear his heartbeat clearly. Soon, I gradually fell asleep.

Until the next morning, I felt an unusually sparkling gaze staring at me. I couldn't help but open my eyes.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Edward's handsome face. Looking at his face, I couldn't help but be in a trance.

Then he grabbed my hand, put my hand on his warm mouth, and gently kissed my finger. I was so shocked that I took back my fingers and immediately shook off his hand.

Edward stared at me with his deep eyes and lowered his head. He kissed my eyelids and said, "It's so good. I can see you as soon as I open my eyes."

Frowning, I slapped him impatiently and said coldly, "Edward, enough. I just think you're pitiful. That's why I promised to take care of you here. Don't go too far."

Being slapped by me, Edward did not get angry. Instead, he grabbed my hand and smiled faintly.

"Even if it's like this, I'm still very happy."

Edward looked at me with a faint smile.

When I heard it, my face darkened.

I pushed Edward's body away and got out of bed, trying to hide the panic in my heart.

Edward's wound seemed to be hurt by me. His handsome face looked sad, and there was a little sweat on his forehead.

Looking at Edward like this, I couldn't help but curled my lips and muttered, "You deserve it."

After all, it was Edward who flirted with me. Next time, if he dared treat me like this again, I would definitely teach him a lesson.

Letitia came over to send the soup to him. After seeing us, the expression on her face was extremely complicated.

I could almost understand why she looked at me like this.

Because she didn't like me and always wanted me to leave the Xis. But after I left the Xis, Edward kept pestering me.

I guess that she was in a bad mood.

I put the chicken soup on the table, raised my chin, and said impatiently to Edward, "You can eat now."

"I don't want to drink. You drink." Edward looked at me and said, looking at my belly with unusually gentle eyes.

Being stared at tenderly and lovingly by Edward, I couldn't help but hold my belly warily. I said coldly to him, "Edward, where are you looking? I warn you, this child is mine."

"Ashley, I won't take your child away. Are you really happy to lie to me like this?" Edward looked at me with his pale lips closed, and his eyes were a little lonely.
