A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 52

"D*mn it, you lecher! 111 growled at him. When I saw that Edward had an erection, I felt bashful and awkward.

How could he be so lecherous even when he was having a fever?

I took his temperature with anger and fed him medicine. Then I covered him with the quilt and left the room.

I have done everything I could for Edward. Even if he was seriously ill, it would have nothing to do with me. He made his bed, so he must lie on it.

Since I didn't ignore him, I had already done my best.

"Oh."

"Ding Ling." The next morning, I was woken up by the phone. I rubbed my messy hair and got up from the sofa.

I touched my belly and then picked up the phone.

"Ashley, are you awake? I am at your door now." William's gentle voice came from the phone. Hearing his soft voice, my chaotic mind immediately sobered up a lot.

I wanted to say that I was going to open the door right away. Then I suddenly thought of something and immediately came to my bedroom. When I saw Edward who was still sleeping in the bedroom. I couldn't help but felt speechless.

I thought I was dreaming. But Edward was lying on the bed, so that was real. Edward, that b*stard, even had a good sleep on my bed.

I definitely owed him in my previous birth. So I was treated by him like this in my life in return.

"Ashley? Are you listening?" William didn't hear me, so he couldn't help but repeat it again.

I came to my senses and said awkwardly, "William, I'm not inconvenient today. Can I ask for leave?"

"What's wrong? Is your belly uncomfortable? I'll take you to the hospital for an examination immediately."

"No... just a little bit," I explained in embarrassment, but I didn't know how to explain the situation now.

If I opened the door and let William in, he would see Edward sleeping in my bedroom. At that time, William would misunderstand.

When I thought of this, I felt my headache terribly.

"Well, then I'll come to see you later. If there is something wrong with you, just let me know, okay?" William was so considerate. He just said it and hung up the phone.

I leaned against the door and heard what was happening outside. When I heard that his footsteps faded, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as I was about to go to the kitchen to cook millet gruel, my phone rang again. It scared me so much that I almost threw the phone out.

I didn't look at the caller ID and thought that it was still William, so I stuttered and explained, "William, I will call you when I feel better, okay..."

"Ashley... It's me." But it was not William's voice on the phone, it was Richard, I hadn't heard for a long time.

Then I remembered that I hadn't seen Richard for a long time. I heard that he went to a foreign branch.

"Richard..." I was grateful to Richard. In the Xis, when I was in an awkward position, he helped me a lot.

"I don't know where Edward has been since last night. We can't find him, so I want to ask if you saw him or not."

Was Richard looking for Edward?

After listening to his words, I closed my eyes and shook my head slightly, "I don't know where he is. I don't have anything to do with him anymore."

"Well, if he comes to you, give me a call. Betty and aunt are very worried about him."

When I heard Betty's name, I felt a little angry and said, "Oh, I know. But I don't think Edward will come to me. Because we have no relationship at all."

"Last night, in front of the Fangs and the Xis, Edward suddenly said that he would cancel the engagement with Betty. Betty sobbed her heart out, and Edward left. We have spent the whole night looking for him, but we didn't find him."

Edward was going to cancel his engagement with Betty? What could it be?

I was a little stunned for that. I even thought I had heard it wrong. "I also felt very surprised. I saw his love for Betty, so I did not expect that he would suddenly say such words. At that time, I was also frightened." Richard's sad voice came from the phone.

"That's really unfortunate." I closed my eyes indifferently and said to Richard coldly.

"Are you still... hating him?"

"I never loved him, why I will hate him? "

After saying this, I hung up the phone.

Edward was going to cancel the engagement with Betty?

I shook my head. This matter had nothing to do with me. Edward wanted to marry Betty, or cancel their engagement, both were not my concern.

After cooking the millet gruel, I went to the bedroom.

Edward was still sleeping, and he let out a groan of extreme pain from time to time.

I wanted to ignore him, but his intermittent groan drew my attention. I had no choice but to get close to the bed. Only then did I see clearly that his face was abnormally red.
