Marriage Games with a Charming CEO novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85 She Was on the Verge of Losing Her Mind

Edmond really did what he said.

By the time Alicia arrived at Melissa's place, it was already time for a late night snack.

Edmond left after finishing a meal. Melissa pulled Alicia and took out an old album, page by page, to read with her.

There were many photos of the child Alicia.

She liked dancing and often represented the school in competitions at that time.

In high school, she originally wanted to apply for a dance major but later realized that her family didn't have enough money, so she applied to study business and management.

"When you were a child, you didn't have a sense of security. You were always afraid of things being taken away by others, probably because people often stole your things when you were in the orphanage. I was quite worried about you at the time, and thought you wouldn't have felt so insecure if I could have adopted you earlier. Fortunately, you are now better."

Alicia moved her lips, wanting to say that she still didn't feel secure now.

Just this sense of scarcity shifted and was hidden by her.

For uncertain people and things, she chose not to let herself have them.

Without gain, there would be no loss.

That was also why she had always been stubborn and refused to say love to Edmond. Love made her feel insecure.

Looking back on the past with Melissa gave Alicia a growing sense of farewell.

It was like saying goodbye to Melissa, and it was also like saying goodbye to her past.

Alicia's mood was a bit heavy, and she didn't sleep very well that night.

The next morning, Edmond came up with breakfast to eat with them. Melissa took out the previous bank card and handed it over to them.

"The money in it is just for your future children. If you don't plan to have children, you can keep it as a backup. Poor couples are always sad, and having money is always better."

Edmond still didn't accept it.

Alicia knew Melissa's temperament, and was clear that she would find an excuse to give it to them in the future if they didn't accept this card.

So Alicia decisively reached out and took it over, saying, "I'll take care of it for you first. After your surgery is over and you're well, we'll use this money to travel abroad."

Alicia had already assumed that this surgery was bound to be successful and did not take Melissa's series of arrangements for future affairs too seriously.

Melissa replied with a pair of red eyes and a smile on her face, "Okay, that's good."

After breakfast, Melissa had to go to the hospital for further consultation.

Although Edmond was unable to perform the surgery, he had to have meetings with the attending doctor every day to discuss technical matters before the surgery began.

Alicia read the inspection report and heard many professional terms.

Every word was telling her that Melissa was likely to never wake up after entering the operating room.

No matter how strong she pretended to be, there would still be times when she couldn't hold on.

Edmond pulled Alicia to the rooftop and stood side by side to feel the breeze.

Alicia suddenly asked, "She's going to get better, right?"

Edmond replied softly, "The probability is small, but it's still possible."

"Mom will definitely be safe."

"Yes."
