Chapter 167 Torture Each Other
That day, Edward Smith stayed in Alice Roberts' ward. If they tortured each other, Edward must torture himself now.
Seeing the two people's unexpectedly harmonious figures reflected in the window, Edward frowned and his thin lips closed tightly, the fire burning in his chest. Until Alice saw something and gave a big smile like the sunshine. It was a heartfelt smile after the car accident, and it thoroughly annoyed Edward.
He clenched fists tightly, and shut inside John Blake, breaking into the room. Without a word, he directly hit John in the face.
John did not recover so that he naturally could not bear the full blow of Edward. He tottered and even almost fell to the ground. Alice sat up hurriedly to hold him. But Edward stopped her.
Now John was not even as healthy as a child. Obviously, Alice was weak out of accident. Edward took the full control.
Alice was anxious because John's health got worse for her. She did not want John to be hurt again for her, or suffer a blow from a man who once robbed him of his marriage.
Alice stretched out her hands to pull Edward, but he avoided. Edward grabbed John by the collar with one hand and lifted him out of the ward, and then threw him to the ground brutally. "Get Out!"
Alice was very worried, but she was too badly injured to move. She could do nothing but watch that John was thrown out of ward. Fortunately, this was the hospital. If anything went wrong, they could get a doctor on the spot.
Edward ignored them and just stood at the door coldly. Until he saw John got up and left. He turned to look at Alice, expressionless. Alice suddenly felt a little scared. Whether angry or happy, he never looked like that. After going through the discharge formalities quickly, Alice moved into the villa. She just left for a week, but as if for a century.
***
The small garden of the villa was still the same, so was the room with French windows and even the sunshine and scenery, but the warm and homey atmosphere had disappeared.
Edward stood at the garden gate, looking at her in the window, which was the similar scene. Once he thought it the world's most beautiful scenery. Love was within reach and happiness seemed to be around him. But now, the things were still there, but men were no more the same ones. He wondered, 'What did she thought?'
Because of Alice's injury, Edward hired a nurse. The scenery of the villa remained the same, but Alice felt that it had become a cage.
Alice was not allowed to go in and out of the villa at will. To be frank, she was confined to the house. It was hard to say whether such days were good or bad.
All right and wrong seemed to be locked outside the villa. The two people inside were isolated from the whole world. But they were still confused. It seemed that the fallen leaves also felt sorrowful.
Edward did not speak to Essie, and even he did not allow the nurse and the housekeeper to speak to her. Alice herself could not speak. Thus, the house was dreadfully quiet.
Every day Edward just looked at her coldly through the window for a while, and then left. Alice was depressed. So was Edward.
No matter five years ago or five years later, Edward was deeply in love with Alice. At the same time, she left him without hesitation.
That day in the hospital, Edward saw John talking with her happily. But he looked like an outsider to watch them. It was really frightening. That was why he couldn't leave her in the hospital.
After returning to the villa, he thought that everything could go back to a week ago, but it was just his thought. Was it destiny that their lives were always incongruous?
The house witnessed all the happy time of them. Exactly, he could not forgive what she had done. They were ready to keep the baby. Or at least he thought that she was. But why she had harmed the baby again and again.
Looking at the baby room, self-doubt engulfed him. Did he really know Alice? At this moment, Edward became extremely vulnerable. He wasn't used to himself like that. Indeed, when it came to Alice, he was not like himself. To be honest, Edward did not feel guilty for her during this period. But what did she think of him and their baby? If he didn't get to the hospital in time, they might lose the baby.
Alice was the cause of suffering. As long as she disappeared, everything would come back, and he was still the indifferent one. But would he not be painful again? 'No.' his eyes radiated sorrow and pain, looking at the distance and gradually losing direction. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

uneasy. All these scenes were
similar to that of five years ago. The only difference was his attitude
toward her.
At that time Edward was not so mature, only angry. But what about now? Five years were like a mist, she found that she could not see her bedmate clearly.
During this period, she could feel that Edward sometimes looked at her through the window, but his eyes were cold. She would also see Edward stood in front of her, but he said nothing.
Some time ago, she was exhausted
because of him and Nivea Murray. Besides, she had to deal with Janet Louis. Then there was a car accident. The child didn't survive She had to bear the sadness of losing the child and Edward's indifference. All these things piled up in her heart. Her strained heart
