Chapter 322

Author: Orange Long
Alanna could feel a vein pulsing in her temple. She didn't explain anything to Michelle. Instead, she just thanked her and ended the call.

After that, she flagged down a cab and rushed to Hades' apartment. Once she reached the apartment, she realized that Margaret was still there.

Margaret smiled happily when she saw Alanna. "Ms. Jacinto, you're finally back! Are you feeling better now?"

The corner of Alanna's mouth twitched slightly. "Yes, I'm feeling a lot better now. Thank you."

Then, she saw Hades sitting on the couch lazily while holding a newspaper.

What the hell was he acting for? Wasn't he waiting for her to return to him?

Alanna shot him a look before heading toward the bedroom.

Hades' expression faltered slightly, but he didn't say anything.

When she reached the bedroom, Alanna was surprised to see rose petals all over the bed. Those petals were clearly fresh, seeing as they still had condensed dewdrops on them.

The floral fragrance rushed up her nose. There was a l

    Alanna stared at Hades for a long time. Finally, she asked, "Hades, do you know that Melanie is involved in my abduction case?"Hades' breathing hitched in his throat. When he spoke once again, his voice came out slightly hoarse."You knew that?"The moment he said that, Alanna slapped him in the face. She used almost all of her strength in that slap."Hades Florentine, you're even more disgusting than Melanie."Once Alanna was done speaking, she turned on her heel and walked out of the room. Her heart was in so much pain that she could barely breathe. She even had to draw strength from her willpower just to leave the apartment. To think that the man she had spent three years with was heartless enough to disregard her life. Hades knew that Melanie had abducted her, yet he pretended as though nothing happened.Alanna did her best to endure the pain flaring from her broken heart. The corners of her eyes were tinged pink as a result.What right did that bastard have for hurting h

    Jeff's eyes turned cold in an instant."Hades, I'm a lawyer. My job is to show my client the truth. I want my client to be free of any grievances. I'm not like you. You find it so easily to cause others grief."Hades narrowed his eyes, which were swirling with unknown feelings. He never thought of causing Alanna grief. The truth was, he knew better than everyone else that telling Alanna the truth right now would only serve to worsen the conflict between them.At first, Hades planned to spill the beans to Alanna once he patched things up with her. Of course, he wouldn't let Melanie off the hook. He'd make sure to seek justice on Alanna's behalf for the hurt and torment she had to go through in the past.However, Jeff had to screw things up by telling Alanna the truth in advance."Jeff, you'd be wise to not meddle in my and Alanna's affairs from now on. Otherwise, don't blame me for calling Mrs. Simmons."Hades hung up on Jeff right away after saying his piece.Jeff stared at th

    This time, Hades picked up the call immediately. He happened to be seated on the couch with a dark expression.Margaret passed him a disinfected cotton swab. "Sir, perhaps you should deal with your wound first."Alanna had bitten Hades on the arm. Fresh blood was still beading on his wound at that moment.Hades just shot an impassive look at his injury. "It's fine."He wanted to keep the bite mark. It was an injury caused by Alanna; he strived to get her back on this.Once Melanie's call went through, the first thing she heard was Margaret's statement. At first, she was surprised. Then, delight flooded her heart.Did Hades get hurt? Was that why he couldn't come to the hospital?"Hades, did you get hurt? Is that why you didn't come to the hospital? I'll wait for you, then. I'll proceed with the surgery once your wound is healed."Hades lit a cigarette and took a drag from it. He finally replied, "You don't have to wait for me anymore. The surgery is canceled."Shock filled

    The cab driver liked to gossip."Did you get your heart broken?"Alanna opted to not say anything.The cab driver continued, "Come on, it's just love gone and dusted. It's nothing. There are plenty of men in this world. If you break up with this guy, you still have other guys to date."Look at you, all young and pretty. You'll find a better man in the future. Maybe your ex will regret breaking up with you back then."Alanna couldn't help but giggle when she heard the driver's words. She wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes and managed to stop crying.Hades wasn't worth her tears. He wasn't worth crying over and spoiling her mood, too.After dropping her stuff off at Chelsey's place, Alanna headed toward the hospital. Before she could reach her destination, she heard her phone ring.It was a phone call from Edmund.Alanna glanced at the caller ID before answering the call. Edmund didn't waste any time in bringing up the purpose of the call."I heard from Hudson that

    Alanna frowned slightly. When she exited the ward, she saw Garrett in the corridor.This time, he showed up with a bunch of people. Clearly, they were here to cause trouble for her.Alanna's expression darkened instantly. She quickly motioned for Jane to inform the security guards.When Garrett reached the ward, he decided to barge in without a care in the world."Alanna, get the fuck out!"The two bodyguards stopped Garrett outside the ward. This just made him chuckle coldly in response."Do you know who I am? I'm that patient's husband! How dare you stop me from visiting my wife!"The bodyguards continued to block Garrett's way with grave expressions. They couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to him.Garrett continued to holler at the ward, "Alanna Jacinto, get the fuck out of the ward, or else I'll fuck this hospital up!"Alanna's expression darkened at that moment. She decided to not hide anymore.Garrett was here for her, after all. If she didn't meet him in the cor

    Alanna nodded with a smile. "No problem. See you later, Mr. Luther."Michel gazed at her for a few moments before nodding in response.After Garrett got chased out of the hospital, he called Esther right away. "Why didn't you fucking tell me the hospital is one of the Luthers' businesses?"Esther was very annoyed because of Hades' declaration. When she heard Garrett's accusatory tone, she unleashed her wrath on him immediately."Are you an idiot? The Luthers have always been running Carement Hospital! Can't you even get your facts right?"How would Garrett know about that? He had never done anything proper in his life. All he did was have fun, indulge in sex, and gamble his life away.Of course, he was reluctant to accept the fact that his chance of making money was now gone."Esther, you never told me that fact beforehand. The Luthers came to Alanna's aid just now. I don't think I can carry out your mission now. You just have to pay me one million dollars."Naturally, Esther f

    Melanie was stunned to hear Hades' response. It was as though she was plunging into an abyss.What did Hades mean by that? Could it be that this necklace had completely lost its effect on him?Was Alanna that important to him?"Hades, do you plan on ditching me forever?"Hades sat on the couch while staring at Melanie's tear-streaked face. For some reason, he was reminded by Alanna's fragile visage as she lay on the bed of reef rocks that day.His heart was instantly struck by a sense of frustration and distress."Since you've done something wrong, you should pay the price. I don't have anything to say about this.""Hades, have you forgotten—""What happened when we were kids, yeah? Melanie, do you really think I can tolerate everything you do as long as you bring up the past?"Melanie's complexion became as white as a sheet in an instant. Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the private room had gone completely silent.Everyone exchanged glances with each other. None of them had an

    Hades' expression was starting to become stormy at that time.Just because Alanna could be snarky to him didn't mean anyone else had the right to do that.He chuckled coldly, "Chelsey, don't think I won't make you suffer just because you're Alanna's friend!"A burst of cold bearing surrounded him in an instant.Honestly speaking, Chelsey was a little intimidated by Hades. Still, she didn't want to submit to the jackass known as Hades Florentine."You must be sick in the head right, Hades? When you were still dating Ally, you never cherished her! You've already made it clear that you'd break up with her, yet you keep pestering her!"Let's talk facts, shall we? Why don't we bring up the times she suffered because of you? When she had a miscarriage, you were ruthless to her. When she fell off the cliff, you spent all your time with Melanie. Yet now, you wish to get in her good graces? Pfft!"Stop bothering Ally from now on! You have no idea how amazing her life has become ever sinc

    He casually picked it up and glanced at it, his eyes filled with displeasure. "Who is this pretty boy?"Alanna looked at the snow outside."Can't you tell? A handsome guy."Hades frowned. "Is he more handsome than me?"Alanna couldn't be bothered to answer him.Hades lowered his eyes and held her waist. "Ms. Jacinto, are you feeling needy?"Alanna furrowed her brows. "Hades, can you be serious?"But Hades shamelessly replied, "If you have any needs, just give me a call. I'll be at your service anytime and anywhere."Alanna glared at him. "Hades, have some dignity."Hades chuckled. "Ms. Jacinto, are you doubting my abilities?"Alanna kicked his leg without hesitation.Hades laughed. "Feeling better now?"Alanna paused before nodding slightly. "Thank you.""Silly girl. Why are you thanking me?" Alanna smiled and got back to her work. She glanced at the man on the other side, who was busy replying to emails on his phone."If you're busy, you don't have to come over here on

    Alanna was surprised. She then looked up at the man before her.She had a guarded expression.The man chuckled and handed her another business card. "I'm Mason Lowe and a classmate of Grayson's. I've heard a bit about you from him. I happened to have a business meeting recently that required translation. Would you be interested in taking up the job?"Alanna remained wary."Mr. Lowe, since you're Grayson's classmate, it would be more convenient to talk to him. I have something to attend to today, so I'll take my leave."With that, she pulled Chelsey and headed out. After their figures disappeared, Mason chuckled."She's quite guarded."He muttered to himself before lighting a cigarette. Just then, his phone rang. A woman's voice came from the other end."Didn't I ask you to approach Alanna? Why haven't you made any progress after such a long time?"Mason took a drag of his cigarette."Do you think it's easy to get close to Alanna? She's always surrounded by bodyguards. I o

    Chelsey didn't know how to comfort Alanna."Ally, you need to move on."Alanna nodded without saying much. There was nothing else she could do.While the doctor examined Chelsey's wound and prescribed her medication, a commotion arose outside.Michel and the dog's owner had followed them to the clinic."Chelsey!"As soon as Michel entered the clinic, he called out.Chelsey gave him a sidelong glance. "What are you doing here?"Michel chuckled. "I came to check on you after hearing you got bitten."Chelsey scoffed. "What for? I got bitten by a dog, not you."Michel clicked his tongue. "Even if we were to bite each other, you would be the one who bit me."Chelsey aimed a kick at him. But before she could reach him, someone shouted, "Michel!"Chelsey immediately retracted her foot and glared at Michel. "Get out of the way. Stop being an eyesore."Michel chuckled. "Chelsey, are you reluctant to kick me?"Without hesitation, Chelsey aimed another kick at him. This time, she hi

    Justin entered the room just in time to hear Alanna's questionHe paused briefly before taking a deep breath and walking up to her."Ms. Jacinto."Alanna turned around and saw Justin coming in with a stack of forms.Her lips twitched. But before she could speak, Justin beat her to it."Ms. Jacinto, what brings you here?" His demeanor was natural, showing no signs of evasion.Alanna pursed her lips and smiled slightly. "I'm here accompanying Chelsey for her shot."With that, she glanced back at the little girl."Is this your daughter?"Justin nodded, his eyes filled with affection as he looked at the girl."Yes, she's my daughter."Alanna's fingers twitched. "May I hold her?"Almost instinctively, the nanny holding the girl took a step back.Alanna's hands froze. She said, "Sorry."Justin's brow furrowed instantly.He glanced at the nanny before explaining softly to Alanna."Aashika was born prematurely and has a very weak immune system. We always disinfect before holdin

    After leaving the detention center, Alanna seemed lost in thought.Although Tucker hadn't revealed much, she couldn't shake off her suspicions about Edmund."Do you think it could be Edmund?" Hades remained silent."The key question now is, if it's Edmund, why would he harm your mother?"Alanna lowered her gaze.Hades was right. She wondered why.Since learning that Tara was being targeted, she had thought of countless possibilities. Who could be behind the threats, and why would anyone want to harm such a fragile woman?But she still had no answers.Hades felt a pang of heartache."We'll find out eventually. Don't worry, if it's him, he'll show his true colors sooner or later."Alanna looked out the window and responded in a hum.Hades looked at her and gently caressed her cheek."Ally, don't feel sad. It hurts me."Alanna brushed his hand away. "Stop touching me all the time."Hades' mouth twitched."I've already asked Margaret to make preparations for the New Year.

    Alanna glanced at him and brushed off his hand.Hades' eyes twinkled with amusement."Is it okay to spend the New Year's Eve together?"Alanna turned her head and looked at the calendar hanging on the wall.It was already mid-December.The New Year was approaching.Their baby was already three months old.If nothing had gone wrong, their New Year's Eve would have been filled with joy.Alanna withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and straightened her clothes.Hades saw the glimmer of moisture in her eyes when she lowered her head.His heart ached, and he quickly hurried over to hug her."Everything will be fine."Alanna fought back her tears and nodded before pushing him away.Hades looked at her determined expression with a sense of helplessness."Let's go see Tucker. Maybe we can get some information about your mother."Alanna nodded and followed him out.After the two left, Chelsey rolled her eyes in the room."What a world! I have to see them being all lovey-dovey ri

    In Northlight Group at Brunstein City, Edmund listened as his assistant reported everything to him."You mean, Olivia has been investigating Tara recently?"The assistant nodded. "Yes, and she's been very thorough."Edmund's pen snapped in his hand."Besides that, did she find out anything else?""She already found out about Tara's death."Edmund's face turned grim. "Got it."After speaking, he paused briefly. "Prepare something for me, and also, invite Mrs. Campbell to have lunch with me at the company."Olivia arrived at Northlight Group before noon.Before she could enter the office, she heard Edmund making a phone call."Mr. Florentine, I can help stabilize the stock price of Florentine Group with Northlight, but I hope you won't vent your anger on Alanna. Yes, she's important to me. You could say, even more important than Hudson."Olivia's steps abruptly halted. The smile on her face gradually disappeared.It wasn't until Edmund's secretary called out to her that Olivi

    Alanna's grip on her phone tightened slightly."Hades, are you... really okay?"Hades chuckled. "I'm just trying to get some sympathy from you. Is it working?"Alanna pursed her lips and remained silent.Hades chuckled. "Go to bed early."After a pause, he added, "Also, try not to take sleeping pills.""Where are you?"Alanna suddenly asked.Hades was stunned.He glanced at the villa in the distance. "I'm taking a walk outside.""Taking a walk in the dead of winter?"Hades chuckled. "Ms. Jacinto, are you showing concern for me?"Alanna scoffed. "Go ahead and enjoy your walk."Hades quickly responded, "I'm outside handling some business. I just finished and suddenly missed you. So I wanted to call you."Alanna pursed her lips."Hades, we're partners now. From now on, don't hide anything from me."Hades' voice softened."Alright, I won't hide anything from you."Alanna didn't say much and hung up the phone directly.She silently looked at the sleeping pills on the beds

    Afterward, he sneered, extinguished his cigarette, and drove away.Just as he left the residential area, a car suddenly came speeding towards him.Hades jerked the steering wheel.But the car behind him turned around and came back in his direction.Hades narrowed his eyes and stepped on the gas pedal, rushing forward.However, he didn't intend to shake off the car this time.Instead, he maintained a distance that allowed him to keep sight of the car. It was neither too close nor too far. He ensured that the car couldn't catch up with him and he wouldn't lose sight of it.The scenery outside became increasingly desolate.At some point, they were already on the outskirts.Surprisingly, Hades lit a cigarette at this moment.Then, he sent a location to Yves."Come handle the accident."Hades' car suddenly went uphill before rushing down a steep slope.The person in the car behind widened their eyes.Below the steep slope was a wall!They slammed on the brakes.
