A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 232

The next day, I woke up dizzily. Just as I was about to go to the company, I received a call from a policeman. He asked me if I knew a woman named Ethel Lee.

When I heard it, my mind suddenly became sober and I immediately asked what happened.

It turned out that when Ethel went to find Eddie last night, she was raped by a group of hooligans. She was sent to the hospital and was in great danger. They couldn't find her relatives, and there was only my number in her phone. So they called me and asked me to go there.

After I went for the admission procedure for Ethel, I waited for her to wake up in the hospital.

She was very thin, even skinny.

She always reminded me of Cornelia, because their experiences were so similar.

I asked the housekeeper to send a servant to look after Ethel, then I drove to her house. I wanted to tell her boyfriend that she had an accident.

"Are you here to find Ethel Lee? She is not here." I sat at the door of her house and waited for her boyfriend to come back. An old man passed by and shook his head at me.

He seemed to know Ethel, so I talked with him.

From him, I knew a lot of things about Ethel. The old man said that Ethel had a slight mental disability. She was brought up by her grandmother. After her grandmother died, she lived alone. In the past, she made a living by picking up bottles. Three years ago, she picked up a man and then lived with him. Later, a neighbor said that he saw Ethel work as a prostitute, and they all scolded her. In fact, Ethel lived a poor life. Her boyfriend was a drug addict and he had to take drugs every day. Ethel gave all her money to that man. She was sent to the hospital because of anemia several times, but she still worked very hard to earn money for that man.

"Ethel, she's just a silly child."

After finishing his words, the old man sighed, shook his head and left.

Three years ago...

In other words...

Ethel's boyfriend was picked up by her three years ago.

I pinched the ring in my pocket, and my heart beat so fast.

Edward... would it be you?

Was this why you didn't want to see me? Because you were addicted to drugs, so you didn't want me to see you, right?

After hearing what the old man said, I could make sure that Ethel's boyfriend was Edward.

I sent people to look for Edward in the whole city.

However, there was no result. Ethel's boyfriend seemed to disappear in an instant. I was in a daze and wanted to drive home, but I encountered a car accident on the way.

"Tick, tick, tick." I heard the sound of gasoline dripping, as if it was urging me to die immediately.

I reached out my fingers and tried to open the car door.

However, no matter how I tried, I couldn't open it.

My forehead was bleeding, and I lost all my strength.

"Ashley..."

Just as I was about to lose my consciousness, I heard a low roar.

I opened my eyes and tried hard to see who was calling me, but I could only see a vague black shadow.

After opening the car door with great force, he dragged me out of the car.

"Boom!" Then the car exploded.

I looked at the man holding me tightly with difficulty and muttered in a low voice, "Edward... Is that you?"

"Ashley... You have to live. Don't look for me anymore. Do you hear me?"

His heart-wrenching roar made me very sad.

"Edward... don't go." He put me down and was about to leave. I was so flustered that I wanted to grab his clothes.

However, he didn't look back. He said to me in a hoarse and painful voice, "Ashley... You have to live. Just be with Justin." "Edward... you coward, you b*stard... come back... Edward... do you hear me? Come back!"

I lay on the ground and reached out my hand, trying hard to catch him who was getting farther and farther away, but I couldn't do anything about it.

I could only watch him leave, and then I fainted.

"Ashley, you finally wake up. I'm so worried."

When I opened my eyes, there was only Cornelia beside me.

When Cornelia saw me open my eyes, she cried with joy and hugged me.

I was held tightly by Cornelia, and it was difficult for me to breathe. I said in a hoarse voice, "Cornelia, I feel uncomfortable."

"Sorry, I'm too excited." Only then did Cornelia let go of me and smiled at me awkwardly.

I moved my lips slightly and wanted to get up out of habit, but Cornelia grabbed my hand and shook her head at me, "No, you can't get up now."

She stared at me and said with a serious face.

"What's wrong with me?" I was still dizzy and couldn't remember what had happened.

"Don't you remember? You had a car accident on the road and the car was exploded. Fortunately, you were rescued, otherwise, you would have been exploded into pieces." Cornelia said to me with tears in her eyes.

Cornelia's words gradually reminded me of something. "I seem to... remember it."
