Chapter57
“Really? Edmund seemed very sad when he left last night.”
“Sad?” What kind of heart did he hurt? Isn’t it as he wishes?
“Yes, and I’m worried too much.” She nodded seriously.
Hearing this, my heart was inexplicably excited, but soon calmed down.
Maybe he was worried that he would be charged with murder.
“Myrna, I’m fine now. I can leave the hospital. I didn’t go home last night. My mother-in-law must be very worried about me.” I lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed.
She hurriedly stopped me and said, “don’t worry. Don’t worry. I’ve called Eugene last night. He had a relapse last night. You sent him to the hospital and got wet in the rain. He felt uncomfortable, so we’ll stay in the hospital for observation. I guess she will come to see you later.”
“Oh, I see. Thank you.” I looked at her gratefully and sat back on the bed.
I don’t know why. Myrna is my rival in love. We two should be very jealous when we meet, but every time I see Myrna, I can’t hate her.
Her sincerity, enthusiasm and loveliness make me feel like my sister, completely unable to treat her as my enemy.
Fate was so mysterious sometimes.
Now Edmund and I are completely strangers, but Myrna is getting closer and closer to me.
“Well, the porridge is cold. Leanna, eat some, or the baby in your belly will protest.” Myrna picked up the porridge again and handed it to me.
I couldn’t refuse her kindness, so I took the bowl and drank slowly.
After I finished my porridge, Whitney and Petra took the stewed bird’s nest soup to the ward.
She didn’t feel relieved until she was sure that there was nothing wrong with me and the baby.
Petra coaxed me to eat bird’s nest soup again and sat with her for a long time. Thinking of Eugene, Whitney went to the Department of Cardiology to find the attending doctor of Eugene.
I stayed in the hospital for two days. After making sure that I have fully recovered, I was allowed to leave the hospital.
Compared to me, Eugene is not so lucky.
This time, his heart attack made his condition much worse than before.
The doctor said that if Eugene couldn’t find a suitable heart for transplant within half a year, her life would come to an end.
The shadow of the death countdown suddenly shrouded the entire Silver Garden, causing the atmosphere in the two rooms to be depressing. Everyone had a heavy heart on their faces.
A few days later…
“Myrna, what’s wrong with you? Why don’t you tell me anything since you saw me? Is there anything bothering you?” After a long time, I couldn’t help asking.
She hesitated and seemed to have made up her mind before she said slowly, “Leanna, I have a secret to tell you.”
“Secret? What secret?” I asked curiously.
“I… I fell in love with a man…” she struggled for a long time before she said slowly.
When I heard this, my expression changed slightly.
She fell in love with a man?
What did he mean?
She continued, “you should know that Edmund and I got married not because we love each other, but because of the marriage of family interests.”
I didn’t expect her to say that. In fact, I really didn’t know that the marriage between Myrna and Edmund was just a so-called interests marriage.
Seeing that I didn’t say anything for a long time, she continued, “well, I know it may be hard for you to believe me, but I have to tell you that there is no love between Edmund and me, only brotherhood between brother and sister. He married me to help me. Do you understand?”
Hearing this, my eyes widened and my brain was a little knotted.
That’s why Edmund refused to marry me?
Did he have to marry her because he wanted to help Myrna?
“Did he ask you to say that to me?” My voice was trembling.
She shook her head slightly and said, “no, Edmund didn’t know I was here for you.”
Hearing this negative answer, I showed a bitter smile. “If you don’t like him, how can you know that he doesn’t like you?”
She was stunned and quickly waved her hand. “No, he doesn’t like me. He likes you?”
“Really?”
If he really likes me, he wouldn’t have hurt me so deeply.
Since he drove me out of the car that rainy night, I didn’t dare to have any fantasy about him.
“Leanna, i…” she stammered.
I stared at her, “do you have anything else to say?”
“What?” She was stunned, but soon came to her senses. After hesitating for half a second, she opened her mouth and said, “yes, I want you to do me a favor.”
“What are you busy with?”.
“Can you lend me ten million?”
“Ten million?”
“Yes, I just told you that I have fallen in love with someone. But he owed someone ten million. If he doesn’t pay the money back, others may kill him.” When Myrna said this, her face showed a particularly worried and scared expression.
“Why did you come to me instead of Edmund? Ten million is not a big sum for him.”
“No, I can’t let Edmund know about it.” She waved her hand.
I looked at her, and my eyes gradually became clear. “In fact, you don’t have to do that.”
“What?”
“Whether he likes you or not, or whether you like him or not, it’s a fact that you’re married. In that case, why don’t you cherish this relationship and run it well?”
“But I was wrong with him. We shouldn’t have gotten married at all.”
“But you have married.” My eyes became misty. In the past, I really hoped that Edmund would marry me. “Sometimes, it’s not a good choice to make the right choice.”
“So you and Eugene are the same?”
“It’s not my fault with Eugene. He gave me a happy and perfect family. Do you think I can abandon him?” I asked myself this question countless times in the days after Eugene’s illness.
If Edmund comes to me later, can I really go with him without hesitation?
It was too difficult.
One of the reasons why I’m worried about Eugene is that even if I can really let go of Edmund and marry him, can the King family accept it?
What should outsiders think of us?
The woman of the brother finally got together with his younger brother.
Maybe it will become the biggest joke in the upper class. I don’t know if Edmund has the courage to bear such a curse, but at least I know in my heart that I don’t want such a proud man to bear the crime of robbing his sister-in-law for himself.
Leanna, have you really given up on Edmund? Don’t you want to be with him anymore?” Myrna’s voice trembled.
“I don’t dare to think about it anymore…” after saying that, I looked up at the sky in the distance.
Edmund, now that you are willing to sacrifice our love to help her, how can I hold you back at this time?
Edmund’s POV
Sitting on the big and comfortable shift chair, I looked at Oarlan who was reporting work to me.
“Mr. Presiden, two of the three pieces of land you have chosen have been taken, but the last piece of land…” he looked at me with hesitation and continued carefully, “at last, when the land was closed, there was a certain person who refused to demolish it.”
“They don’t give no matter what?”
“Ten million. How much do they want?” Dennis asked.
“It’s not about money,” Oarlan said. “I’ve already sent someone to check it. It seems that The building belongs to the president of the Pearl Group, Royston.”
When Dennis heard the name Royston, his expression changed and he looked at me immediately.
“What does he want?” I asked indifferently
Oarlan replied, “I don’t know. Our people in the project department went to see him several times and wanted to talk to him about the demolishing, but he didn’t even give us a chance to see him and ignored us.”
“In that case, we don’t have to care so much. Anyway, the government has sold the land to us and it was destroyed directly.” Dennis snorted.
OWith a worried look on her face, Oarlan said, “but they are not ordinary people. If we force them, then the situation will become more serious. I’m afraid this project…”
After a moment’s reflection, “make an appointment with him in my name.”
“Mr. President, are you going to see him in person?” Oarlan was shocked.
“Maybe Royston is waiting for our CEO to find him. He doesn’t care about those minions before.” Dennis frowned.
Hearing that, Oarlan seemed to understand what was going on. he nodded immediately and said, “Okay, I’ll contact his secretary right away.”
At this time, Dennis’s phone suddenly rang.
He answered the phone and whispered a few words. After hanging up the phone, he looked at me and said, “there is an auction tonight, just in our club. I heard that there are a lot of treasures. Would you like to see them? Have you picked up a gift for my sister-in-law?”
I didn’t say anything.
Dennis said in a hurry, “then I’ll ask the manager to leave the best position for us.”
Then I turned around and went out.
After the phone call, Oarlan turned to me and asked, “Mr. President, are you going to attend the auction tonight?”
“What’s wrong?” I raised my eyebrows and looked at him.
“I just talked to Royston’s secretary on the phone. It seems that he will also attend tonight.”
“Good.” It seems that I can meet this man with a complicated background in advance.
“Then I’ll inform Miss Fisher to accompany you to the auction in the evening.”
I nodded.
Leanna’s POV
The night fell and the lights were on.
The whole City Y city was shrouded in colorful neon lights, making it very lively.
In the banquet hall on The twelve floor of the club under the name of the King group, many celebrities had come. All of them were well-dressed and brought beauties to the party, which made the originally magnificent banquet hall more radiant.
The banquet hall was not very big, and the people who could enter it were not ordinary people.
Such a small auction would be held once a month in City Y, and the items to be auctioned were all heirlooms.
At dinner, Eugene suddenly told me that he would take me to an auction. Although I don’t know much about it and I’m not interested in it, I can’t refuse Eugene’s offer.
This is the first time that Eugene has shown up in public since he was discharged from the hospital. I think it might be a very important social engagement for him.
As soon as I entered the hall with him, I saw Edmund and Myrna standing side by side in front of the elevator not far away.
Seeing Edmund’s back, I slowed down my pace subconsciously and didn’t dare to approach him.
Eugene paused, turned to look at me and asked gently, “do you want to have a seat in the lounge in the hall?”
I know he is trying to escape. At the same time, I also know that as long as I continue to be with Eugene, I will have many chances to meet Edmund in different occasions.
Should I hide from him every time I see him?Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
“No, I’m fine. Let’s go.” Shaking my head, I took a deep breath and continued to walk forward.
When Myrna turned around and saw us, she gently pushed Edmund beside her and said, “Edmund, Eugene and Leanna are here.”
Hearing this, Edmund turned around and glanced at us coldly.
“Brother, what a coincidence! Are you also interested in this auction?” Eugene walked up to Edmund and looked at him with a smile.
Edmund smiled and said in a flat tone, “I don’t know you are also interested.”
When I heard this, my face turned cold. Did he mean that he wouldn’t come since he knew we would come?
Myrna sensed that the atmosphere was a little cold. Seeing that the elevator had just arrived, she quickly said, “the elevator is coming. Let’s go upstairs first.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator door opened. Edmund stepped into the elevator first.
We followed him and entered one by one.
电The elevator was big and spacious. When I walked in, I stood beside Eugene consciously.
