Billionaire’s Mistress

“Stop the car. Did you hear me? Edmund, are you crazy?” Seeing that he had been ignoring me, I finally shouted at him.

As soon as I finished speaking, Edmund slammed on the brake and heard a harsh sound of friction between the tires and the ground. The car was stopped firmly on the side of the road by him.

My body was pushed forward because of the inertia of the car. Fortunately, my seat belt was fastened, so I avoided my head from hitting the windshield.

But even so, I was still frightened. My face, which had been red because of fear, turned pale.

He raised his hand, rudely pulled off the tie around his neck, unbuttoned the first button of his shirt, turned his head and looked at me. He said in a low voice, “am I crazy?”

I bit my lips and didn’t say anything. I even didn’t dare to look up into his eyes. I was afraid that I would offend him again.

He reached out and pinched my face, staring at me. “Look at me. Say something. Weren’t you very excited just now? Didn’t you quarrel all the time? Why don’t you make any sound now?”

I felt that my jaw was almost crushed by him. Holding back tears, I slowly raised my eyes and looked straight into his eyes. “If you are angry just because I’m not good to you, I apologize to you. I hope you can calm down and don’t do such a dangerous thing again.”

“Apologize? Do you think I need it?” He pursed his lips and sneered.

“Don’t apologize. What do you want?”

“Don’t you know what I want?” He stared at me with complicated emotions in his eyes.

I don’t dare to look into his eyes. What does he want? I really don’t know.

I can’t see through him from beginning to end.

We used to be so sweet together. I thought he would marry me and live happily together, but he didn’t.

I saw him marry another woman. I thought the past between me and him was just a flesh and blood deal, but he seemed to want to redeem something.

Now that he asked me this question, I don’t know how to guess his thoughts.

“It seems that you really don’t know.” He shook his head and said in a disappointed tone.

“Edmund, can’t we get along with each other like ordinary family members? Or, if you feel uncomfortable, just treat me as a stranger.” As long as I can get along well with him, I can choose to play any role he wants in front of him.

“Strangers?” He repeated the three words I just said. A moment later, he looked up at me without any emotion and ruthlessness. “Then stranger, please get out of my car now.”

“What?” I looked at him in astonishment.

It’s raining outside. There’s no one on the road. As far as I know, there’s a funeral home and a large cemetery not far away.

He wants me to get off the car at this time. What should I do?

“Aren’t you going to be a stranger? Let’s start from this moment. Get off the car!” There was no kidding in his tone.

I finally understand why he drove this way.

He must have made up his mind to leave me here as a punishment.

“Okay, I’ll get off the car.” Nodding, I held back the tears in my eyes and said with a lump in my throat.

As soon as she opened the door, the rain poured in and hit my clothes. It was cold.

I was still wearing his suit jacket. Before i could give it back to him, the door closed automatically. With the roar of the car engine, the car drove away at an extremely fast speed.

The rain was so heavy that it hit my face and body like beans. In less than half a minute, my body was wet.

It was late autumn now. The temperature dropped very fast after the change of weather.

I stood by the road and wanted to stop the car heading to the city, but no driver dared to stop in such a dark night.

The rain poured into my eyes along my forehead, mixed with hot tears.

My makeup had already been washed clean by the rain.

Edmund’s POV

I’m driving downtown. I’m in a bad mood.

Suddenly, my phone rang.

It was a call from Myrna.

Although I was in a bad mood, I still answered the phone.

“什么事?”

“What’s the matter?”

“Edmund, where have you been? I’ve been looking for you at the party for a long time. Now the party is over. I’m going home.”

“I’m outside. You go back by yourself.”

“Outside? With whom? Is it Leanna?”

“Don’t ask so many questions. Go back and have a good rest. Don’t wait for me.”

“Okay, I know. I promise I won’t wait for you. You can come back later. Oh, no, you’d better not come back. Then I have to hang up. By the way, you have to be gentle to Leanna. She is pregnant now. Don’t frighten her.” Myrna exhorted her and hung up the phone happily.

But her words reminded me.

Yes, she is pregnant. How can I forget it?!

Damn it! What did I do just now?

Leanna’s POV

I stood in the rain for a long time, and the torrential rain hit me, making my whole body dry.

There was no street lamp on the dark national road. The cars coming and going splashed the water on the road to me from time to time.

It’s already ten o’clock in the evening. I feel cold, tired and scared.

I can’t hail a taxi, so I have to walk to the downtown by myself.

At this time, my elegant dress became a burden.

After my long dress was wet by the rain, it became very heavy. I walked on the ground. Although the high-heeled shoes fit, they were new ones after all. i had worn them for a long time, and was soaked in water, which made me feet a little worn. Not long after, there was a blister. It hurt so much that every step I took was like being pricked by a needle.

“Beep! Beep!” suddenly, there were two huge car horns behind me. When I turned around, I saw a car coming from behind and almost hit me.

When he passed by me, the driver rolled down the window and shouted at me, “Damn it! Are you courting death?”

I was so scared that I immediately retreated to the edge of the road and slowly walked along the dark road.

Tears kept running down from my eyes. My body was so cold that it shivered. My shoes were so worn that I didn’t dare to wear them again. So I had to take them off and walk barefoot.

But in this way, the cold rain passed through my feet and passed the cold air to her. For a moment, I just felt colder.

Edmund’s coat is still on me, but it can’t bring me any warmth. On the contrary, it only gives me a heavy burden.

I was really tired, painful and desperate.

I never knew that Edmund would be so cruel to me.

In such a rainy night, you left me alone on the road without anyone noticing.

Does he want me to be hit to death by a car?

I can’t take his behavior as temporary anger. Maybe, this is something he wanted to do a long time ago but had no chance to do.

“baby, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I can’t protect you…”

I was crying. My head began to feel dizzy, and my vision gradually blurred.

After taking a few more steps, i felt her legs weak and fell to the ground, unconscious.

Edmund’s pov

Edmund’s POV

When I drove back to look for Leanna, I saw the thin figure lying on the rain ground. My heart skipped a beat.

I got out of the car and rushed into the heavy rain. I picked her up from the ground and called her name.

“Leanna, Leanna!”

She didn’t respond. Her pale face and lips were blue.

he coldness made me panic.

I checked her body carefully to see if there were any injuries on her body. After confirming that she only hit her forehead when she fell, there were no other injuries on her body except a little skin, I carried her into the car and put her on the passenger seat.

The rain poured down her clothes and wetted her leather seat to the carpet. Leanna leaned her head against the pillow and her wet coat had been pulled off by me.

I took out a lot of tissue from the storage cabinet and wiped her hair, face, neck and shoulder. Then i turned on the air conditioner to raise her temperature.

The car went straight to the nearest small hospital nearby.

When we arrived at the hospital, because she was pregnant and the night shift doctor was young and inexperienced, he didn’t dare to prescribe medicine for her randomly. Therefore, when he diagnosed her, he always showed a suspicious and unconfident temperament.

After lying on the bed for a short while, Leanna suddenly had a high fever.

The doctor on duty was frightened and asked the nurse to take an ice pack to lower her temperature physically.

I don’t trust this hospital and doctors, so I called my familiar doctor.

Not long after, an ambulance arrived at the gate of the small hospital. Leanna was still in a coma and her fever had been transferred.

As soon as we arrived at the hospital, I called Myrna and told her to come here as soon as possible.

She appeared in front of me soon. “Edmund, what happened?”

I looked up at her and pointed to the ward behind me. “Leanna is in it. She is caught in the rain and has a fever. You stay here with her tonight.”

“What?” She was stunned. “I’ll stay here. What about you?”

“She doesn’t want to see me.” After saying that, I stood up and left.

She must hate me very much now, if she has consciousness.

How could I do such a thing to leave her alone in such a dangerous place?

She must be freaked out tonight. She was talking nonsense when she had a fever and her body was shaking in my arms. It was obvious that she was having a nightmare.

I know she will stay away from me from now on.

Leanna’s POV

When I woke up, I found myself in a completely strange environment.

There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the air, mixed with the fragrance of flowers.

Where am I?Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

I vaguely remember that I fainted on the road last night.

While I was confused, Myrna opened the door and came in. She looked at her with a smile and asked, “Leanna, how are you feeling now? Are you full of vital energy?”

When I saw Myrna, I was confused. “Miss Fisher, why are you here?”

“Ah, what Miss Fisher? Call me Myrna. I’ve told you a long time ago.” She opened the insulation barrel in her hand, and a fresh smell came to her nose.

She poured the fresh porridge out of the stove into a bowl, put it in her mouth and blew it. Then she handed it to me. “You got wet in the rain last night and then had a fever. It was Edmund who sent you to the hospital…”

I just took over the bowl. When I heard her words, my hand holding the bowl loosened unconsciously. Fortunately, Myrna was quick to see it and immediately reached out to take the bowl, so that the hot porridge did not fall on the bed.

“Leanna, what’s wrong with you? You scared me to death. Fortunately, I’m agile, or the porridge I specially asked someone to cook for you would be wasted.” She put the bowl on the bedside table and said, “forget it. It’s hot now. Let’s cool it first.”

I didn’t listen to her at all. All I could think about was what she said before. It was Edmund who sent me to the hospital.

How could it be Edmund?

Didn’t he ruthlessly throw me on the national highway and let me walk back to the city in the rain?

Myrna asked cautiously, “Leanna, what happened between you and Edmund last night?”

What happened between Edmund and me last night?

In fact, I also want to know.

What did I do wrong? Why was Edmund so angry.

Just because of my bad attitude?

But why is he so nice to me?

Why is he so angry with me and punished so harshly?

As long as I think of his heartless and indifferent expression when he drove me out of the car, I feel uncomfortable in my heart.

Sniffing, I tried my best to make my voice less choked. “We’re fine…”
