Chapter 383: I Ruined Fiona Croix
When I turned my back, I felt myself quite ridiculous again, receiving his message, I rushed with bated breath to buy food and cook, and when the food was cold, I didn’t take a bite myself, and it all ended up in the trash.
I asked myself again in my heart, what am I angry about?
What kind of women Yao Mu Bai has around him has nothing to do with me?
When I got on the car, I saw Yao Mubai and Xia Ruyan didn’t stop for a moment and turned around to head upstairs, I had just calmed myself down, but I felt irritated all of a sudden.
I pulled my hair in annoyance, looked at myself in the mirror, before I came, I also deliberately make-up, even I myself did not notice, I know he is coming back when how much anticipation.
But as much anticipation as there was, there was disappointment.
I looked at myself in the mirror and tugged at the corners of my mouth, snuffing out the little bud that had issued from the bottom of my heart, ignoring the painless feeling in my heart as I started the car and left.
I returned to THE HILL FAMILY and was confronted with another wailing Jane Hasis.
She’s like Mrs. Xianglin now, as soon as she sees me, she cries about her hard life and about Bella Hill’s hard life.
“Alva, where did you say Bella went? She just woke up, she is penniless, and it’s so cold, do you think she will be bullied? I just had a nightmare that Bella was being bullied by a group of hobos, she was screaming for help, I wanted to go and save her, but I woke up from the dream.”
Seriously, Bella Hill was really worrying, she just left the hospital, not knowing where she was going, and with the brain injury in the first place, even Dr. Huang asserted that she couldn’t wake up again, and yet the person walked out on her own.
“I’ll go to the police station tomorrow and ask again, you should stop worrying and go back to your room to sleep.”
“Where am I going to sleep early.” Jane Hasis sighed.
I sent her back to her room, because of Yao Mubai’s matter, I didn’t have that mood to pacify her.
The next few days.
I went to the company as usual and had a morning meeting, when the meeting broke up, I suddenly felt a little dizzy, when I got up, I almost couldn’t stand, my hand immediately held the table to stabilize.
“Chief Hill, what’s wrong with you?” The secretary said with concern.
I sat down again and slowed down, and the discomfort I felt just now disappeared.
“It’s fine, go about your business.”
The secretary asked me, “Chief Hill, do you need me to order takeout for you?”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Yes.”
Except for social functions, I usually let my secretary order takeout.
After the secretary left, I walked towards the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the miles of North City, the tip of the iceberg was already very prosperous, before I returned to THE Hill family, my dream was just to have a good job, to have a family, to be a good wife, a good mom, I never thought I wanted to be a strong woman of any kind, yet step by step, I’ve already forgotten how I got to my current position, standing in this I have forgotten how I came to be in the position I am in now, standing in this place.
The cell phone resting on the table rang, I glanced back and frowned when I saw the caller ID, it was a string of unsigned calls.
I get calls like this all the time, and calls like this, I can’t help but answer.
I walked over to the table, picked up the phone and answered it, and on the other end of the line came Jong Ting’s voice, “Miss Hill, be careful, Ben’s back.”
This was Jong Ting’s way of repaying me, and it was the best she could do.
What she said in her words was that Qi Ben was back, which meant that the previous Qi Ben was not in North City.
Yao Mubai had only been back for a few days and Qi Ben had returned, I couldn’t help but connect the two, could Yao Mubai’s previous disappearance have something to do with Qi Ben?
“Thanks for the reminder, I’ll be careful.” I cared in passing, “Are you and the child okay.”
“En, everything is fine.”
Zhong Ting and I didn’t have anything else to talk about and hung up the phone with a few simple sentences.
I knew the danger was nearby, but I couldn’t do anything about it.
Susan Su was arrested, Qi Ben is not easy to deal with, last time in the hospital, because I was reckless, a human life is gone, Qi Ben could brutally cut Nancy Richter dozens of knives that year, that he has no reverence for human life, who does not know if he will jump over the wall again.
Before the danger did not come, I should do what I do, worrying is also useless.
After a long day of work, I walked out of the office only to run into Jack Astor coming to see me.
The first thing he said when he saw me was, “Got time for a drink?”
Jack Astor’s eyes were bloodshot and his face was a bit haggard. He came to me because of Fiona Croix.
People have come to my door, naturally I can’t refuse.
“Drink?”
Drinking is a lot different from drinking coffee.
Jack Astor chose wine.
It fits his current mood.
But there is a saying that pouring wine on your sorrows makes them worse.
After three glasses of wine, Jack Astor asked me, “Alva Hill, I want to know what happened to Fiona in G-town.”
He asked me that, so that meant that Fiona Croix hadn’t told him about her being kidnapped by Kerzan along with me.
In fact, there is no need to hide this matter, and the person is fine now, but Jack Astor came to me so long after the incident to ask him about this, I have a bad feeling in my heart.
I asked, “Fiona what happened to her?”
“You’re her best friend, she followed you to G-town, when you called me to ask if Fiona had come back, what’s going on here?” Jack Astor’s narrow, ink-deep eyes narrowed deeply, “Alva Hill, I’m the one who’s asking you right now what’s going on with Fiona.”
This tone of voice, a little bit of the meaning of raising an accusation.
If something wasn’t really wrong, Jack Astor wouldn’t have sought me out or spoken to me in that tone.
But I really didn’t know what was going on.
I honestly said, “I was kidnapped with Fiona, then Yao Mubai saved her, she suffered some superficial injuries, if you want to ask me what happened to her, I really don’t know.”
Last time when Fiona Croix refused Jack Astor’s invitation, I felt something was wrong, I asked Fiona Croix, she said it was fine, later I asked Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan also said it was nothing, plus I was busy with things in the company lately, I had forgotten about it.
“Kidnapping?” Jack Astor immediately changed his face, his eyes suddenly cold: “Suffered a bit of trauma, just that simple?”
Jack Astor’s words left me at a loss for words.
Just when I was dumbfounded, Jack Astor said another sentence that made me almost collapse.
He said angrily, “Fiona’s at the doctor’s, here’s the pills I went to her house to get, see for yourself, Alva Hill, Fiona’s been screwed over by you.”
Jack Astor practically dropped the box of pills in front of me and my head exploded when I saw the name on the box and then what the pills did.
It was Valium-inducing medicine.
That meant that Fiona Croix hadn’t even suffered anything as simple as a superficial injury during her abduction, and she had been unstable, but I hadn’t been paying attention to that.
I grabbed the pillbox with a shaking hand, gripping it tightly; I’d never been this distraught before. It was Fiona Croix, and she was being dragged down by me.
Jack Astor is completely suppressing his anger, otherwise I’m sure he might not be able to keep his temper down and come after me.
The woman he cherished had been emotionally unstable because I was kidnapped and in shock, but Fiona Croix had kept it from me, not saying a word about it.
A throbbing pain shot through my heart, and it hurt so much that I breathed heavily, “Fiona, Fiona …”
Jack Astor braced his hands on the tabletop and poured a mouthful of all the wine on the table into his mouth, his qualitatively cold voice ringing above my head, “Alva Hill, Fiona is being dragged into this by you.”
Every word from Jack Astor felt like a hammer hitting my heart, throbbing with pain.
I was shaking, I grabbed my pill box and stormed out, I made my way to Fiona Croix’s place and opened the door to her house with a shaking hand, there were no lights on in the living room, Fiona Croix was in her bedroom, the door to the room was open and light was filtering in from it and the sound of running water was coming from it.
I listened to the sound inside, my feet as heavy as lead, I stood in place, knowing that she was inside, but I did not dare to approach a step, the hand of the pill box has long been pinched by me deformed, nails into the flesh, but as if they do not know the pain.
Jack Astor’s words lingered in my ears, and I became more and more uncertain about how to face Fiona Croix.
Just then, Fiona Croix came out in her nightgown, and when she saw me, she raised a smile and asked, “When did you get here, why didn’t you even call me.”
I looked at her and just one tear fell, my lips trembled but I couldn’t say a word.
“Alva, what’s wrong with you?”
Fiona Croix was shocked and rushed up to take my hand, she saw the pill box in my hand and in that moment she understood everything and her face receded cleanly in that moment.
“You… You know all about it.”
Fiona Croix’s words made my tears fall like broken beads, “Fiona, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry …”
I choked back sobs, I didn’t know what else to say except to say the pale words.
I grabbed her hand and cried, “Fiona, why didn’t you tell me.”
“Alva, what are you doing.” Fiona Croix hugged me and comforted me, “It’s okay, it’s okay, I just got a bit of a shock, I always have nightmares, I got a doctor to prescribe some medicine, you also know that I’m a timid person, I haven’t been kidnapped yet, this is all in the past, don’t mention it.”
