Chapter 48
48. I Want to See You!
Alex stared at the black screen of his phone and frowned.
He got up, pushed open the door of the room, and looked outside.
The long corridor outside was empty.
“Felix, go and call your dad back. Why is he standing there so tall? He blocked the light!” Restall saw her son standing at the
door of the private room, deep in thought. Because of the blind date, Restall was dissatisfied with him, so she asked her
grandson to call him.
Sometimes, one really had to believe in fate. For example, Miranda admired Alex for a long time. The elders of the two families
also created countless opportunities for them in the open and in the dark. But in the end, Miranda and Alex did not have fate.
When Miranda and Alex met previously, he did not even send her off. Instead, he let her take a taxi home. Miranda was very sad.
After Restall knew about this matter, she felt guilty and asked her to go to the teahouse that Alex’s little uncle owns to drink tea.
Restall did not think that it would turn into a beautiful matter. Miranda met Alex’s little uncle’s son, Alfred Laurent. The two of
them fell in love at first sight and in a few days, the two families brought up the engagement date.
Today was the engagement banquet organized for them. As the matchmaker for the two of them, Restall was also invited to
witness this happy moment for the two of them.
Restall was happy for the two young people, but when she saw that her younger cousin, who different about ten years old, was
about to get married, Restall hated her own son, who was still single, and did not live up to her expectations. She did not like
Alex.
Felix obediently slid down from the high chair and jogged to the door. “Dad.”
“Grandma told you not to stand here. She said you blocked the light like this.”
The father and son returned to their seats. Felix continued to eat the chicken wings in his bowl.
Fia saw him increase his speed and could not help but bite harder.
Restall saw that Fia’s small face was filled with sauce and used a tissue to gently wipe her face, “You still treat yourself as a
three year old child.”
Alfred’s mother, who was next to her, laughed. “Time passes really quickly. Felix and Fia are almost six years old in the blink of
an eye.”
“Not really. A few years have passed in the blink of an eye. If Alex does not hurry to find a girlfriend, he will still be a bachelor
when his son and daughter are married.” Restall could
not help but complain and sigh again.
old bachelor Alex looked up and saw that his mother was talking. He continued to give the two children chicken wings.
Seeing his unchanging attitude, Restall sighed even more heavily. “It seems that if I count on him, I might as well count on my
grandson and granddaughter. I don’t wish to have any daughter-in-law either. I just hope to have a granddaughter-in-law or
grandson-in-law.”
Alfred and Miranda’s mother quickly advised, “Alex is an outstanding man. I don’t know how many girls want to marry him.
Sooner or later, he will bring you a suitable daughter-in-law.”
The marriage of his son was originally Rudolf’s concern. Hearing his wife mention it, Rudolf could not eat anymore..
Fia was full and she could not eat the chicken wings that her father brought. She stared at it for a few seconds and then put the
chicken wings into Restall’s bowl. “Grandma, it is for you t o eat.”
Restall hugged her in relief. “My granddaughter is very considerate. You can’t be like your father in the future. The first thing you
should do when you grow up is to bring me a grandson -in-law, understand?”
Alex: “...”
After the dinner, Director Yosua had something else to do and left. The department manager and some other active colleagues
organized a karaoke performance.
Jessie had just entered the banquet hall and drank a lot of wine. She felt increasingly dizzy and did not go with them. She
stumbled and took a taxi home.
After passing by a hospital, she suddenly remembered that she had promised Mike that she would go to the hospital to
accompany him, so she asked the driver to change the route to the hospital.
Jessie arrived at the door of the ward. Her stomach was churning, and he quickly ran to the
bathroom
She was drunk, and everything in front of her was spinning.
She held onto the wall and barely found the bathroom door. She pushed it open and walked i
1.
She didn’t see the squat pit. It seemed that she had found the wrong place.
cer
She held onto the wall and turned around to leave. However, she heard a familiar voice from inside.
“Don’t worry, I won’t treat you badly after I remarry.”
This voice belonged to Mike.
Shouldn’t he be in the ward?
Why was he here?
She could not help but lower her footsteps as she leaned against the wall and leaned further i
“Friends don’t talk about this, but if you come to me now, will she find out?”
This was the voice of Mike’s attending physician because Jessie had been accompanying him in the ward for the past two days.
Jessie remembered the doctor’s voice.
“Don’t worry. Even if she comes, she will only go to the ward to find me. She will not come here. Do you have cigarettes? Give
me one.”
The sound of a lighter lighting a cigarette could be heard from inside. Mike held the cigarette i n his mouth and continued,
“Pretending to be sick is also a hard job. The moment she comes, I have to lie on the hospital bed and do nothing.”
“If you did not use the trick of suffering, Based on the damage you have done to her in the past, she will not remarry with you.
You should be satisfied.”
Mike smiled. “Jessie, that woman, was born with no brain. She was very gullible. She proposed to remarry only because she
could be of great value now. This kind of stupid woman, it was okay to play and sleep with her. It was too boring to live with her
for the rest of my life.”
Before he could finish his words, the office door was knocked open.
Facing Jessie’s red face, Mike’s smile froze on his face.
Seeing that it was really him, Jessie laughed coldly. Then, she turned around and staggered
away.
“Jessie!” Mike threw the cigarette away and quickly ran out.
Jessie rushed into the elevator, but Mike held her wrist tightly.
“Jessie, listen to my explanation!”
Jessie suddenly shook off his hand and stared at his legs that were standing on the ground safe and sound. She sneered, “What
else is there to explain? Mike, you are really despicable!”
Mike rudely picked her up from the waist. “I will not let you go!”
Jessie was struggling when the elevator door opened. Mike suddenly froze.
Jessie felt that something was wrong. She almost subconsciously turned her head to look.
In the middle of the elevator stood a man in an exquisite black suit. He wore a white shirt
with a dark blue patterned tie and held a phone in his hand. He seemed to be about to dial but when he saw the two of them, his
hand that was holding the phone dropped down.
His deep eyes were very light, and his expression was cold. When he stared at the two of them, it was as if he was looking at
two strangers who he did not know at all.
Mike held Jessie’s hands and slowly retracted them. He looked at Alex silently in the elevator.
Jessie did not think that she would meet Alex like this.
Wasn’t he getting engaged in Hill Hotel? Why did he come to the hospital again?
Jessie’s head, which was already dizzy from alcohol and anger, seemed to be about to explode.
Alex put the phone into the pocket of his suit and walked out.
Jessie’s heart started to beat wildly for some reason.
Alex walked out of the elevator and slowed down in front of Mike. He just wiped his body and walked past Mike to the corridor of
the hospital.
When he walked over, the side of the suit almost touched Jessie’s hair. The man’s body was lightly brushed by the cool Aura
mixed with faint tobacco.
Jessie looked in the direction where he walked again, but there was no one there.
It was as if he had never appeared before.
...
Jessie finally realized that she was still being held by Mike. She could no longer suppress the volcanic rage in her chest. She
raised her hand and was about to hit him in the face.
Before her hand touched him, there was a sudden sharp pain in her neck and dizziness in front of her eyes. She wanted to
maintain her consciousness, but she could not. Her eyelids were as heavy as a mountain. Finally, she softly closed her eyes.
When she regained consciousness again, Jessie heard the beast-like heavy breathing beside her ears.
Just as she moved, a dull pain immediately came from her neck.
And her body also felt very strange.
It was similar to the omen before she had a high fever last time.
Suddenly, she felt as if there was a snake swimming around her body. She was so frightened that she forcefully opened her
eyes.
When she saw Mike’s face clearly on her body, her brain exploded with a bang.
She raised her hand and pushed him.
Her hands were soft.
“What are you doing? Let go of me!” She screamed in fear, and her throat felt like it was stuffed with sand. It was so hoarse that
she couldn’t even scream.
Mike’s face became hideous. “Stop screaming. It’s useless for you to do this. You ate the medicine that I specially made. If you
don’t have sex with a man, you’re dead. I’m doing this t o save you. Do you understand? Jessie, you give birth to a child for me.
Didn’t you always want to give me a child? Now I will let you have your wish!”
“You are not a human!”
“You can scold me however you want. Let me tell you, Jessie, I want to remarry with you!”
As they were fighting, Jessie’s fingers touched the humidifier on the bedside table.
She stretched out her arm and grabbed the handle of the humidifier. She violently smashed it towards Mike’s head.
A loud sound was heard.
Blood flowed down from Mike’s forehead.
Mike stopped moving. He stared at her. Finally, he powerlessly fell on her body.
Jessie panted and pushed him away. She was still in shock as she snatched the door and fled.
She escaped from the hospital and took a taxi. She was still trembling.
“Where are you going?” The driver asked.
Jessie felt hot sweat dripping down her back. Her blood vessels looked like they were aboutt o burst.
“Drive forward.” She answered in a hoarse voice.
The taxi drove forward.
She felt more and more uncomfortable.
Her brain felt like it was going to explode.
She wanted to shout to vent her anger, but she held it in with all her might. She took out her phone with trembling hands, and her
mind was already in a mess. She couldn’t think of anything else, so she directly dialed the number.
Alex did not answer the phone.
She could not help but call in a low voice. “Answer the phone! Please answer the phone!”
As if he had heard her pleading, Alex finally answered. His tone was as cold as ice in winter.”
Speak!”
“I want to see you!” Jessie did not dare to hesitate for even a second. Without any hesitation, she said the most direct and direct
thought in her heart.
Alex fell into silence.
Jessie bit her lower lip tightly. Her heart was hanging down to her throat. Her fingers, which were tightly holding the phone,
almost sank into the flesh of her palm.
Just as she was about to give up, the man’s emotionless voice finally sounded again, “The top floor of the Tianji Residence’s
east seat, come here yourself!”
