Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 143

After screaming for a long time, Lassie finally couldn't bear the pain and fainted. Seeing that, someone called Noah and asked him what to do next.

Noah reported it to Quarmy. Quarmy clapped his hands and laughed after hearing what happened to Lassie. Originally, he had just expected Jerry to hit Lassie. He did not expect Jerry to be so ruthless. He ordered Noah to send Lassie to a hospital.

Noah was puzzled. "Why do we have to save such a vicious woman?"

Quarmy sneered and said, "Because I want to torture her. Inform her doctor not to show mercy. The operation must be carried out when she is awake. They can't give her anesthesia. I must make her live a life worse than death!"

Lassie was sent to the hospital. The doctor operated on her when she was awake according to Quarmy's instructions. Lassie's scream lasted from the beginning to the end of the operation. At this moment, Lassie finally knew what it was like to live a life worse than death. She would rather be beaten to death by Jerry than endure this kind of torture.

Although the doctor operated on Lassie, this operation was not to treat her eyes, but to let her suffer. After the operation, the doctor announced expressionlessly that one of her eyes was blind.

Lassie came out of the operating room. The driver of the Huo family came to visit her. "Who did you offend? How did you become like this?"

The driver was very surprised to see her like this.

"I don't know. I was hit by a stranger, and no one helped me." Lassie was full of hatred. The security guards were usually polite to her. However, when she was hit, they ignored her. If they had been willing to help her, she wouldn't have suffered so much.

"It's really unexpected. How could this happen?" The driver sighed. "I have already told Mr. Huo about this. He told you to take care of yourself. He said that he had called the police and he wouldn't let go of the one who hurt you. I believe there will be a result soon."

Lassie hated Jerry so much that she really wanted to kill him. But now it was not the time for her to take revenge on Jerry. How should she explain the relationship between Jerry and her? If this matter was exposed, Quarmy would know everything and not let her go.

She was afraid that Quarmy would know her secrets. She had to find a way to save herself. Though she wanted to take revenge on Jerry, she couldn't do it now. When she recovered, she would come up with a way to deal with him. "The person who hit me must be a mental patient. Otherwise, how could he suddenly hit a stranger?"

"Yes. He must be mentally ill."

While they were talking, Noah came. Seeing Lassie's injury, he looked very sorry. He comforted her and said that they would definitely catch the man who hit her.

When Lassie heard this, she panicked even more. What if they really caught Jerry? In this way, her background would be exposed and Quarmy would kill her. Then, she said to Noah that the person who hit her must be crazy. Noah sighed. "If so, you may suffer for nothing. Even Mr. Huo can't help you. We'd better find him first."

After chatting for a while, Noah left the ward. Before he left, he asked the nurse to take good care of Lassie so that her eyes would not be infected.

The nurse answered in a responsible manner that they would often disinfect Lassie's eyes. The nurse also showed Noah the alcohol and iodine used for disinfection, saying that she would disinfect Lassie's eyes immediately.

Noah praised the nurse and then left. The driver also left. When they just walked to the elevator, they heard Lassie's scream in the ward. The driver was shocked. "What's wrong?"

Noah smiled faintly and said, "The nurse should be disinfecting her eyes!"

"Why is she screaming?" Hearing the continuous screams in the ward, the driver felt creepy.

Noah smiled coldly and said, "Won't she be in pain if there are iodine and alcohol in the wound?"

The driver remembered that he had once used iodine to disinfect his injured hand. At that time, he accidentally put iodine in the wound. It really hurt. Lassie's eyes were injured now, so it could be imagined how painful she was.

He touched his hand in fear and followed closely behind Noah into the elevator. The door of the elevator was closed, and they could still hear the screams from outside.

There was a sneer on Noah's face. Every day in the future, Lassie would suffer such pain until her wound was completely healed. However, compared with what she had done, her punishment was nothing.

After hitting Lassie, Jerry fled back to Leo's place. Leo had already known what had happened. Seeing that Jerry came back in a hurry, he deliberately asked, "Jerry, what's wrong with you?"

"Leo, I've committed a crime!" Jerry told Leo about how he had beaten Lassie blind. "Leo, I don't want to go to jail again. Life in prison is too hard. In order not to get you in trouble, I have to run away."

Leo stopped him. "Don't panic. If that b*tch really calls the police, it's useless for you to escape. Why don't you stay here for a while and see what will happen?"

"But this will bring trouble to you." Jerry was quite nice to his friends.

"It's okay. You stay here. I'll go and see what she is going to do." Leo comforted him.

Jerry was homeless. He offered to leave here because he didn't want to cause trouble for Leo. Hearing what Leo said, he was moved to tears. "Dude, I will remember your kindness. If you need me, just tell me!"

"Jerry, you are treating me like an outsider. As hooligans, we're all going to get in trouble. Just remember to help me when I find myself in trouble." Every day, Lassie was in pain. She couldn't help calling her son and asking him to visit her. Ted went to the hospital. When he was waiting for the elevator, a group of people gathered around. They began to chat. "I heard that a woman who bled profusely from abortion was sent to the Maternal And Child Health Hospital a few days ago. She seemed to be a w*ore. She should have gone to the hospital for an abortion because she was no longer young, but she took medicine herself to kill her child. She was almost dead."

"I heard about it too. She didn't intend to take abortifacients. I heard that she had a crush on a man who was more than ten years younger than her. She got pregnant and wanted to marry the man, but the man didn't want her. The abortifacients were secretly given to her by the man. Unfortunately, the woman is still in the dark."

"Are you kidding me? How can that man be so vicious? What if the woman dies?" As the elevator came, everyone entered the elevator, but the chatting didn't stop.

"That man doesn't care about this. That woman is so silly. Until now, she still doesn't know why she miscarried. She thought it was because of herself. What a pity."

"Such a heartless man deserves to be punished by the heavens. D*mn it."

"In fact, you are all wrong. The abortifacients were not given to her by that man but that man's another mistress. That mistress was said to be a servant of a rich family. Someone saw the mistress went to the pharmacy to buy abortifacients. She even told the doctor not to tell others the truth.1' Another person interrupted.

"Really? I can't believe it!"

"I heard it from the nurses in the hospital. That mistress is familiar with a doctor in the hospital. It is said that the mistress is also an old woman. She is old enough to be the man's mother."

"This man loves old women so much? His mistress is too vicious!"

Ted listened to the conversation of them. He was really upset. How could the things these people talked about be similar to what he had experienced?

Could it be that Ada's abortion was caused by his mother? Besides, Eva was a doctor in that hospital...

He started to tremble. The elevator stopped and he walked out. At this time, a woman sneered. "You sympathized with that w*ore? She deserves it. She has ruined countless families. This is retribution."

"Do you know her?" Another person immediately asked.

"Yes. Her name is Ada. She is a procuress in a nightclub. My friend's husband has been a frequent guest to her." The woman was angry. "She deserves it, b*tch!"

The elevator door was closed, but Ted heard what they said clearly. His heart sank. Thinking of what his mother had sent to him on Ada's first day of miscarriage, he clenched his fist.

Sure enough, you can't wrap fire in paper. Everybody knew about it. Only he and Ada were still kept in the dark. He strode straight to Lassie's ward.

Lassie had just been tortured by the nurse and was screaming on the bed. When she saw her son, she seemed to have seen her savior. "Why are you so late? It hurts so much!"

Ted showed no sympathy to her at all. The discussion in the elevator just now made him almost crazy. He shouted at Lassie in a low voice, "Tell me honestly, does Ada's miscarriage have something to do with you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lassie was shocked. How did her son know about this? She felt that the wound was not so painful because she was freaked out.

"Everyone knows it. It was you who bribed the doctors to keep them from telling the truth. I tell you, it's useless. You'd better tell me honestly. Otherwise, I'll go ask Eva."

"Are you crazy? For an old woman?" Lassie said with anxiety, "Son, if you liked someone else, I wouldn't have done this. But you can't be with Ada!"

"I'm crazy. How can I have such a vicious mother like you?" Ted growled at Lassie. "No matter what, you killed a child. How can you be so vicious? It's not easy for me to meet a woman I love, but you treated her like this. Do you want me to have no children?"

"Son, I was forced to do so. You can't be with Ada!" Lassie repeated.

"Why can't I be with her?" Ted asked.

Lassie didn't dare to tell Ted that Ada was his aunt, so she had to lie. "Ada is a w*ore with a bad reputation. She is old and she doesn't deserve you."

"I don't care. I just like her. Let me tell you, no one can stop us being together!"

"Son, please listen to me. I am your biological mother, will I hurt you?" Lassie said earnestly, "Look at me, I've suffered a lot. Can't you let me be happy?"

"You've suffered? What about Ada? She almost lost her life because of you!" Ted roared. "I knew you were vicious. Otherwise, you wouldn't have sent me away."

"Didn't I have no choice? I was unable to support you." Lassie said that Ted's father died soon after they got married. She couldn't afford to raise him up, so she had to send him away.

"There are a lot of women who have lost their husbands, but few of them will give their own sons away! You didn't raise me up. How can you stop me being with the woman I love?"

"I am your biological mother! How could you treat me like this for another woman? You let me down!" Lassie was also angry. Her son didn't care about or comfort her. Instead, he had been blaming her for Ada. Although she abandoned him when he was young, she had compensated him a lot.

"Let you down? Didn't you let me down? You killed your grandchild without hesitation. You deserve to be punished. God is punishing you!"

"You!" Lassie was so angry that she couldn't say anything. Ted left angrily. Just now, Lassie was painful because of her wound, but now she felt painful because her heart ached. What had she done to deserve this? How could she have such a son?

During this period, Quarmy often went to visit Monica and Coco. Therefore, Coco was no longer that hostile to him. Coco did not resist his presents and would even talk to him. This change made Quarmy very excited. Now, apart from going to work and dealing with those b*tches, he spent all his time with Coco and Monica.

Roland was also not that hostile towards Quarmy, but he was still a little worried about Quarmy's frequent visit to Monica. It was obvious that Quarmy wanted to be Monica. If they got back together, what should Leon do?

Leon had waited for Monica for so many years. Roland knew very clearly how much Leon loved Monica. He didn't want Quarmy to be with Monica.

Roland was really worried. A few days ago, Leon said that he would come back for Monica. Why hadn't he arrived? Did something happen?

Roland called Leon and asked him why he did not come back. Leon sighed on the phone and stammered, "Roland, I... I... I'm afraid I can't come back for the time being!"

"Why?" Roland was surprised. Leon had always been frank. He was really surprised by Leon's sudden hesitation.

"Something happened. Alas! I feel ashamed!"

Hearing that, Roland was even more surprised. "What's going on?"

"I'm too embarrassed to say this!" Leon sighed. "In short, it's not a good thing."

"We've been friends for many years. Maybe I can help you."

"Alas!" Leon sighed heavily. "Roland, I... I slept with another woman."

"What?!" Roland suspected that he had heard it wrong. Leon had been single without any scandal. How could he have sex with another woman?

Leon didn't intend to hide it from Roland. He didn't dare to recall what had happened that day. He was still in shock. Why did he have sex with Jadey?

That day, he took Jadey to the mall and went back to the Gu family. Old Mrs. Gu loved Jadey's gentleness, so she offered to let Jadey live with her.

Jadey also liked Old Mrs. Gu very much, so she agreed.

That night, Mandy's parents also came to visit Old Mrs. Gu. The chef had prepared a lot of food. Leon felt happy because he was about to see Monica again, so he drank a lot of wine under the persuasion of everyone. Later, he was drunk so he went back to his room.

He fell into a deep sleep. In a daze, he felt that someone was calling him to drink the sobering soup. He opened his eyes and saw Monica standing by the bed. She was holding the sobering soup and looking at him. He murmured, "Moni!"

Monica, who was in front of him, smiled at him shyly. "Leon, drink the sobering soup!"

This voice was obviously not Monica's. He was a little sober and remembered that this woman was Jadey. He smiled apologetically, took the sobering soup and drank it. After that, he thanked her and fell asleep.
