Anyone with common sense would know how important the cervical vertebrae was, and what it meant to have injured it. As Edward lifted his gaze at Vivian, he saw the horrified look on her face as she sat there, stunned and silent. Feeling a twinge of sadness, he lifted his arm and stroked her shoulders, gently calling out to her, “Vee?”She turned around and looked at him, somewhat sluggishly. However, she didn’t say a word and simply got up to head outside. He grabbed her and asked, “What are yo
Mrs. Carraway seemed rather calm. She nodded heavily when she heard this and said hoarsely, “That’s right. Your father promised to take care of me for the next thirty years. He hasn’t fulfilled that promise yet. He won’t let anything happen to himself. It’s not like you don’t know how stubborn that old fart can be.”Vivian could no longer hold back her tears. She turned her head aside and silently wiped her tears away.Liam walked towards them from the side and rubbed Vivian’s back soothingly.
Mrs. Carraway finally noticed Edward’s existence. She looked at him in astonishment, having a slight inkling that he had arrived with her daughter yesterday, and she managed to vaguely guess his identity. As expected, she heard her daughter’s introduction, “Mom, this is Edward Levin.”Edward promptly stepped forward, switched his countenance, and politely greeted, “Hello, Mrs. Carraway. I’m Edward Levin, Vee’s boyfriend.”When she remembered that it was her daughter who had cheated and caused
Vivian stared at him in a daze. She opened her mouth but couldn’t find the words to speak. Finally, she smiled with grief and indignation and said, “Edward, you are completely impervious to reason with!” she refused to speak to him, turned away, and left. She had only taken two steps when she suddenly turned around and walked back. When she saw him standing there, she curtly said, “Go away. I want to go back and get the room key!”Refusing to step aside, he apathetically said, “I’ve booked a ho
Vivian nodded and didn’t say much to him. She ignored Edward as well, walking straight past him.By the time she arrived on the street, there was a car waiting for Edward. The driver spotted Vivian and Edward emerging from the hospital, one of them walking in the front and the other behind, so he immediately brought the car around. However, Vivian pretended not to see him and turned to the right pavement, rushing quickly towards the hotel. She had never thrown such a huge tantrum before, and Ed
He lifted his arm and circled it around her waist, holding her tightly before letting go. Then, he got up and headed to the bathroom. By the time he got out, Vivian was already arranging his luggage for him and she had set out a shirt and a pair of trousers. “Since we’re staying here, it’s best to look neat. Wear this. I’m afraid that my mom might come back and bump into us. It’s better to look tidy.”Edward thought nothing of it and simply changed his clothes. Vivian closed their luggage bags,
“No! Our lives won’t be destroyed by him!” Liam was unexpectedly calm as he cupped Vivian’s face in his hands and placed her forehead against his. Then, he spoke in a soft and determined voice, “We’re still here. You, me, Mom, and Dad, we’re all still here. Come! Viv, let’s leave quickly. Don’t waste any more time here. He’s not worth it. He’s not worth wasting our time here.”He turned around and grabbed her bag, then he wrapped his arm tightly around her, half-dragging and half-hugging her ou
Becoming a fugitive was definitely not an easy feat. Vivian followed Liam to sneak out of the hotel from the back exit. They crossed a street and arrived by the side of Liam’s car in just a few steps. Liam procured a backpack that was so full that it bulged when they got into the car. He said, “I’ve prepared these items in advance. You should take a look and see if there’s anything useful for you.”She unzipped the backpack and saw two sets of wigs first, followed by a heavy makeup kit and a
