How could Richard die? Edward must have lied to me. It had to be like this.
"Ashley, calm down." Seeing me like this, Edward's eyes were filled with coldness.
"Calm down? I don't want to calm down. Tell me, you made up everything, right? You did it on purpose, didn't you? How could Richard die?" I grabbed his arms and growled at him.
No matter what, I refused to believe that Richard had died. He was talking to me just now, how could he have died? Impossible! It must be false.
"Ashley." Edward could not help but roar my name when he saw that I was so agitated. However, I did not want to pay any attention to him. I only felt that Richard was not dead and that they must be joking with me. They deliberately said that Richard was already dead.
"Bam." When I was about to get out of bed in panic to find Richard, I was slapped on the face.
There was a numb feeling on my face as I blankly looked at Edward whose hand was still in the air.
Edward stared at me with deep eyes and said in a deep voice, "Ashley, can you calm down now?"
I bit my lips, and my eyes were filled with tears. Tears were about to come out of my eyes.
"None of us can change the fact. Even Richard does not want to see you like this. Do you know?" Edward reached out his hand and held my face. His long finger gently fondled my face.
I suppressed the sadness in my heart and said to myself, "It's all my fault. I caused Richard's death. He went to the Gold Garden villa because he wanted to tell me something. That's why he was hit by the car."
"Foolish, it's not your fault..."
"G. M. Xi, can you let go of my fiancee?" Edward's words were interrupted by William.
He stood at the door with a fruit basket in his hand.
He looked very elegant. He was wearing a white striped shirt and a pair of light blue casual pants. He looked extraordinarily handsome, but his expression seemed to be a little cold.
His handsome eyes sparkled with a cold light as he looked at Edward.
I pushed aside Edward's hand and rushed to William.
"William." How could I be moved by Edward again? I had already made up my mind to forget my love for Edward.
"G. M. Xi, please leave my fiancee's ward. I don't really want to see you." William hugged me gently. His eyes were sharp as he ordered Edward.
Edward looked at me and left without saying anything.
Looking at the lonely figure of Edward, I felt a little sad in my heart.
William helped me to sit on the bed, reached out his finger, touched my eyes and said, "Are you crying again?"
"I can't believe that Richard is already dead." I sniffed, looked at William and choked with sobs.
Richard was one of my few good friends. Now that he died because of me, I was very sad.
"Don't be sad. It's impossible for him to be alive. If Richard knows that you're like this, he will be sad in heaven."
William was right. No matter how much I cried or how much I suffered, Richard would never come back.
"It's all my fault. If he hadn't saved me, perhaps he wouldn't have... died." If Richard hadn't saved me at that time, he wouldn't have been hit by that car. He died because of me.
"It wasn't because of you." William helplessly sighed and shook his head at me.
I looked at William in a daze. I didn't know what he meant.
"I've already asked someone to investigate. At that time, the car was aimed at Richard. Its target was not you, but Richard. Even if he didn't save you, he wouldn't be able to survive."
Aimed at Richard?
I thought that the car was rushing to me. But why? Who on earth did Richard offend? Why did that person want to kill Richard?
"Why did you and Richard go to the Gold Garden villa?" William's face darkened as he looked at me and asked. Why did we go there?
I looked down and told William what Richard said to me at that time, "At that time, Richard said that Edward has a secret. I didn't understand why. Then he said that he wanted to bring me there to find something. As long as I saw it, I would know that Edward had suffered a lot."
"What secret?" William's eyes twinkled slightly. The light in his eyes disappeared so fast that I couldn't see it clearly.
I looked at him, shook my head and said, "I don't know. When we arrived near the villa, a car rushed toward us... and then..."
"Alright, don't think about it anymore. I will definitely investigate this matter clearly." William reached out his hand and gently patted my shoulders as he said.
"You must investigate it clearly and seize that person." I clenched my fist and said in a hoarse voice as I looked at William.
I must take revenge. No matter who that person was, I would never let Richard die like this.
