Chapter 173
Nelissa couldn't stop thinking, "Does Edward already know about what happened to Anna? Does he believe in me? Or does he hate me as much as Sean hates me to the core? But if he leaves, does it mean that he is very disappointed in me? He is so disappointed that he doesn't want to see me again."
Did he think that she had been deceiving his feelings?
Nelissa touched the corner of her eyes with her trembling fingertips, feeling very uncomfortable. She wanted to cry, but she was afraid that she couldn't cry and couldn't control her trembling. What she feared most was that she would do this, so she didn't dare to tell Edward. She didn't know how to explain it. Many things were kept in the dark. She was stupid. She knew that the more she misunderstood, the more serious it would be.
She should have confessed earlier, so that she could at least explain to Edward, although it was hard to believe...
Nelissa dropped her hand in a daze. Zayden reached out and grabbed her fingertips. His palm was tightly wrapped, and his rough knuckles had a thick cocoon. The feeling was different. The person who had been holding her hand when she was unconscious was not Zayden.
It was Edward!
Nelissa looked around the ward, tears welling up in her red eyes. She lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed. She had just woken up and was still weak. Her feet, which were touching the ground, were soft and dizzy.
Zayden caught her in time. He placed his hands on her shoulders and lowered his head to ask her, "What are you looking for?"
Nelissa looked up at him, and her complicated eyes met his. She asked him softly, "Who sent me to the hospital?"
Zayden immediately tightened his chin and did not reply. His deep gaze was fixed on Nelissa. He was unwilling to tell her that she was saved by Edward, but he did not catch up.
"Where is he?" Nelissa grabbed Zayden's suit jacket and asked. Her fingers left deep wrinkles on it. "Where is Edward?"
Zayden clenched his fists. Nelissa's weak strength was nothing to him, but she could still easily hurt him.
He looked down and asked, "Are you really with Edward? What about us?"
In the past, Nelissa would have looked for him the first time she woke up, but now it was Edward. Did she fall in love with him?
Zayden could not accept the fact that the girl he had protected for so many years had fallen in love with another man. He could not stand Edward'er touching her body! He did not like this world and did not like any woman. He only liked Nelissa, who would cry and laugh for him.
Nelissa felt a headache.
At this time, the door of the ward was opened. The female nurse came back with the medicine and three men in suits.
"You're awake. How are you feeling?" The female nurse asked Nelissa in a responsible manner. She put down the medicine and wanted to help Nelissa get on the bed. She had just woken up and was stepping on the ground naked, so it was easy for her to get sick.
Nelissa's eyes were red as she looked at Edward'er. Tears blurred her vision and she could not see anyone's expression. She ran over and threw herself into Edward'er's arms. She hugged him very tightly and suddenly felt wronged. Her tears could not stop falling and stained his white shirt.
Edward frowned and wanted to hold up Nelissa's crying face, but she refused to cooperate. Her face was pressed against his chest and her shoulders were trembling. She still hugged him tightly. His slight movement made her cry even more anxiously. She was out of breath and her voice was intermittent as she muttered something he couldn't hear clearly.
Edward lowered his head and listened carefully for a while. Only then did he hear Nelissa's words clearly. She was afraid that he would leave, that he would not want her, and that he would trust her.
Edward's heart softened. He had always rejected women crying for no reason. He only thought that it was very fake. But Nelissa was different. She cried, and he would feel distressed and reluctant. For some reason, he would seriously think about how to coax her not to cry. He did not dislike her.
He liked her very much.
"You cried for me after I left for a while?" Edward ignored Nelissa's anxiety and forcefully picked her up. He walked straight to the bed in the room with his long legs and carefully put her down. Looking at her red face, he took out a soft handkerchief, slightly leaned over her tall body, carefully wiped her tears, and comforted her in a gentle voice, "Don't cry. I'm here. I don't want you."
Hearing Edward's magnetic and gentle voice, Nelissa cried even harder. She put her fair hands on his broad shoulders and cried out all the grievances and fears in her heart. Her voice was hoarse and she was afraid that she would lose him. She was afraid that she would see his hateful eyes.
Edward's tall male body stood in front of Nelissa, blocking everyone's line of sight. Zayden had been clenching his fists tightly the entire time. He was unaware of the pain caused by his nails digging into his flesh. His expression was very bad. Sean turned and left the ward. He went out to wait for them outside, ignoring them!
Edward had been comforting Nelissa's uncontrollable emotions. For so many years, it was the first time he had coaxed a woman. He seemed very flustered and kept wiping Nelissa's tears. Looking at her wet eyes and tightly holding his collar with his little hands, his voice was very low. He was worried that she had hurt her throat. He felt very distressed and did not know how to stop her from crying and make her laugh.
Edward did not have the demeanor of a playboy in the outside world. To put it bluntly, it was a misunderstanding. Edward was not a master in love, and he had only been in love for a few times. He had never been involved with the love affairs in magazines.
Many times in his life, it was Nelissa who taught him.
Nelissa gradually calmed down, and her eyes were red and swollen. She looked nervously at Edward, watching him wipe her tears. Her slender fingers slipped into her hair, and her thin lips kissed her forehead. She was extremely gentle...

Nelissa wanted to cry again. Her eyes were hot and her heart was hot. For a moment, she felt that she was determined to be Edward in her life and that there would be no other man. She used to be Zayden, but now, in the future, in the end, she would only be Edward.
She liked this gentle man very much.
Edward circled Nelissa's petite body with one hand and asked the female nurse to give him the medicine. He fed Nelissa the medicine and carefully fed her a cup of water with his big hand. Seeing her slightly frowning eyebrows, he asked with concern, "Are you uncomfortable?"
Nelissa shook her head. "No, it's just that the medicine is a little bitter."
She sat on the edge of the hospital bed, with her little hands wrapped around Edward's strong waist, and her cheeks pressed against his chest and abdomen, very close to him. Thinking about it, at this moment, there were only two of them. There was no relationship between them. It would be great if she could ignore them. She was afraid that she would be separated from him because of this.
"Do you have candies?" Edward asked the female nurse with a deep frown.
"This..." The female nurse was asked. They were very young, so there was no candy on their side. However, there were snacks and candies on her desk. "I'll go out and get them for you."
When the female nurse went out of the ward and saw Sean waiting silently outside, she couldn't help but envy him. She didn't understand the relationship between these people. Since they were sent to the hospital, they had been quarreling in the ward. It was obvious that they had a quarrel because of the woman in the hospital bed. Her real boyfriend was so nervous that he couldn't even bear to cry for taking medicine. This man could only wait outside with a dark face. Was it a friend who would fight for a woman?
But there was another man in the ward who seemed to have a special relationship. It was really a complicated relationship between men and women.
The female nurse came back with the candy and observed Edward and Zayden silently. She said to Nelissa, "Mr. Hales has been guarding you just now, holding your hand and waiting for you to wake up."
Nelissa looked at Edward, her eyes and eyebrows flushed. She sniffed and wrapped her little fingers around Edward's slender fingers, looking pitiful.
She was so delicate that she even surrendered to him.
"Don't cry again." Edward frowned, tore open the sugar paper, and fed her. Nelissa's small tongue brushed across the man's finger, inadvertently.
Edward's eyes darkened as he sighed and laughed. He loved her very much.

Julian came back after receiving a call. Seeing that Edward was still taking care of Nelissa, Julian found it novel. His younger brother was a young master who lived a comfortable life and never knew how to take care of others. He was spoiled by his grandfather and grandmother, who were too arrogant and noble. After he left work, he became a man who could make a living in other fields. It was the first time that he saw Edward take care of someone, and she was a woman. It was beyond his expectation.
Julian didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. Before his mother passed away, he was most worried about his youngest son, Edward. He was excellent, but he couldn't take care of himself in life. He couldn't let his aunt take care of him for the rest of his life. He always wanted Edward to find a woman he liked to marry and have a woman take care of his life. It was better for him to be alone. Now that he had found the woman he liked, it was Nelissa...
As the eldest brother, Julian was very worried about his younger brother Edward'er's future and would find it hard to walk.
"Edward, my father just called. It's time for us to go." Julian interrupted their conversation. Only then did Nelissa realize that Edward's brother was also there.
Just now, she only paid attention to Edward and did not pay attention to anyone else.
Nelissa was at a loss. Before she could react, things were far more complicated than she had imagined.
Edward hugged Nelissa in silence. She didn't want to leave her alone, so she frowned.
"Miss Quest." Julian walked over and spoke to Nelissa. He knew very well that Edward was thinking of a win-win solution, so he could only say to Nelissa, "Today is the day our grandfather is discharged from the hospital. We all value it very much. Our family is preparing a reunion dinner. No one can be absent. I hope you can understand."
"I also know that you've gone through a very bad thing today, but my grandfather loves Edward the most. If he's absent, the old man will be very disappointed. We're leaving soon. Do you want to stay in the hospital for a rest or find someone to send you home?"
Nelissa was stunned...
The more Edward listened, the more displeased he became. He frowned and said, "Julian, speak less."
Julian ignored him. "I'm asking Miss Quest, not you. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I don't like your tone!" Edward was very protective of Nelissa. She didn't want her brother to be biased against her.
Julian spread out his hands and did not fight with him. He looked at Nelissa thoughtfully...
