Chapter 60 Danger slowly approached
Edward had to go to the hospital in person. Although he had no affection for Celine, they were neighbors and grew up together. When they were young, Celine liked to cry. Edward had always taken Celine as his sister.
"Doctor, how is Celine?" As soon as Edward arrived at the hospital, he anxiously asked the doctor who had just come out of the operating room.
"Are you Celine's family? She slit her wrists and made her lose too much blood. Fortunately she came in time and just managed to save herself from danger," the doctor said gravely.
"Well, I am her brother. Thank you, Doctor." Edward thought for a moment and said. He wanted to avoid unnecessary rumour in the future.
He heard that pregnant women were generally sensitive and fragile. He didn't want to depress Irene anymore.
"As her family, you need to pay more attention to the her emotions. The patient has lost too much blood and is very weak, and her will to survive is not strong." The doctor warned responsibly. "Thank you, doctor. I will pay attention to her. May I go in and have a check?" Edward asked.
"Yes, but be quilt and do not disturb the patient's rest. It is a pity that she want to end her life at this beautiful age. You must persuade her to cherish her life." said the doctor.
After all, most doctors healed people, so they didn't want to see any death. What's more, Celine was still young.
When Edward came into Celine's ward, he smelled a strong smell of disinfectant.
When he saw Celine's pale face, he could not help but feel sorry for her. After all, they had grown up together. As he looked at her, Edward remembered many things happened in their childhood. "Edward, you... are here." Celine slowly opened her eyes and saw Edward, the man she missed so much. She tried to get up even she was still weak.
Edward quickly stopped her action.
"Celine, how can you do that to yourself? You are very weak now, so you need to rest." Edward patiently talked to her, and his eyes were full of compassion.
"I, I am thirsty. I need water." Edward got her up sowly and brought her a cup of water.
"Celine, you are still weak now. Let me feed you." Edward carefully fed her bit by bit.
Edward had not noticed, however, that a reporter outside the hospital was taking pictures of them. In the picture, Edward was feeding Celine carefully and considerately.
This reporter was hired by Eric and Celine. Celine's suicide was also part of their plan. Celine wanted love, while Eric wanted wealth and status, naturally they became together and targeted Edward and Irene. Edward, however, had not noticed that danger and misunderstanding were approaching him and Irene step by step.
"Well, Edward, I can not get over it. I still love. How much we loved each other? Now you leave me and embrace another woman. I really do not want to live anymore. What's the point of living alone? I'd rather die."
Celine started her acting. This plan was mostly planned by Eric. But Celine also put in a lot of effort to make Edward show up here.
Edward did not want Celine to have any fancies about him. Although he didn't want to provoked her, he still made up his mind and decided to make their relationship clear. "Celine, I am sorry." Edward said slowly and observed if Celine could accept it.
"Edward, you have not failed me. I did it all for myself." When Celine heard Edward's apology, she felt happy. She thought Edward was softhearted heart and her plot worked. "Celine, we grew up together. I think you understand me. I hate being forced by others." Edward said, and he found her expression did not changed.
So, Edward decided to finish what he wanted to say. It would be good for everyone.
"Well, Edward, I know you, so I never force you to do anything for me. I'm not someone..." Celine deliberately stressed the words "force" and "someone".
Her intention was simple. She only meant to tell him that it was not her but Irene who had forced him. Edward definitely knew what she meant.
He also knew that Celine wanted to break his relationship with Irene.
"Celine, I did hate Irene when she and my grandma forced me to marry her. But now I have to thank her for everything she has done. If it was her, I couldn't find my true love." Edward said very firmly and seriously. Celine had never seen Edward spoke that seriously to her.
Even when Edward mistakenly believed that Celine had his baby and told her that he would to marry her, he didn't said as seriously as this time.
Celine was irritated. She had tried so hard to get Edward. How could Irene get Edward so easily?
"Celine, I know you like me, but love can't be forced. I am sorry for what I did to you. I used you to annoy Irene. But at the end, I found that Irene has always been the person I like.' After the explanation Edward hoped that Celine could understand his feelings.
"Edward, I know your feelings now, and I won't bother you anymore. Please go, I'll take care of myself." Celine didn't expect that Edward would like Irene so much. But she didn't care about Edward's true feeling, because her plan was realized.
Since Edward was so cruel, she would not let Irene have a good time.
"Well, Celine. I'm happy to hear that .But I am still worried about whether you'll do the same thing to yourself again. You are like my sister. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me. I need to go home. I'll send someone to take care of you."
Edward told Irene he would be back early. But it was already 7:30. He was a little worried about her, as well as he missed her a lot.
"Hello, Carolina, is Irene asleep?" Edward wanted to call Irene to tell her he might be a little late. But if she had fallen asleep, he wouldn't disturb her.
When Edward found that he went back too late to talk with Irene, he could not help but feel a little disappointed.
"Irene had been waiting for you to have dinner together. But after waiting for a long time, she felt too tired. So she ate and went to rest now." Carolina replied.
But when Edward thought that Celine finally accepted their relationship and wouldn't bother him and Irene, he felt relieved.
"Well, I'll be home soon." After saying that, Edward hung up the phone. He wanted to return to Irene as soon as possible, so he could looked at her calmly.
Thinking all of these, he drove happily and lightly.
However, Edward was wrong. He did not know that dangers was slowly approaching.
In fact, Irene had overheard the conversation between Carolina and Edward when she was about to go out and ask Carolina to warm the dishes. So she knew Edward would come back late.
Because it was already late, so she thought Edward might have eaten already.
Irene persuaded herself not to think about why Edward came back late and whether he had something to talk with Celine.
He must have been working overtime. But as her belly was gradually getting bigger, her mother and grandmother did not allow him to work overtime and asked him to come back early. Besides, Edward did not like to work overtime, either.
"Irene, You are still awake? You don't need to wait for me. It's not good for you and the baby to sleep so late. "When Edward gently opened the door of the bedroom, Irene was sitting on the bed in a daze. He didn't knew what she was thinking of. Even when he came to her, she did not notice him. Edward felt sorry for her. He had said he would be back soon, but he had broken his promise.
"Edward, you are back. Why are you back so late?" Irene asked anxiously. She felt that she had to believe everything he would say. Ever since she was pregnant, she had been senstitive and suspicious. Irene felt that she shouldn't think too much. She should believe in Edward.
"Irene, I was going to come back early, but suddenly there was an urgency before I could leave. That make me came back late. You should go to bed and not think too much about it." said Edward gently. He did not dare to say that he had visited Celine in the hospital who tried to suicide herself. He was afraid that Irene would think too much...
