Chapter 106: I believe you.
For a while, everyone on the spot is stunned.
The woman who slapped Alice just now is taken aback. Suddenly, she remembers something. She shouts at Edward, "What are you doing? Let her down!" Edward glances at the woman coldly. The woman is stunned by Edward's gaze. She is sweating unconsciously. She doesn't dare to move. But Edward moves.
He gently puts Alice aside, takes off his coat to cover Alice, and then coldly says to the woman, "I never hit women, but you shouldn't touch her!"
He kicks the woman away. Then he kicks the rest of women away one by one. These women are the culprits who tortures Alice.
At this moment, Joanna appears in the prison. Seeing Edward so fierce and furious, she is scared and takes two steps back.
But Edward doesn't let her go. He reaches out to grab Joanna's collar and drags her in front of him, and then he slaps Joanna on her fair face heavily.
Joana's face immediately swells up. The blood is flowing from the corners of her mouth. Even she feels dizzy.
Before Joanna feels a little better from the vertigo, Edward says coldly to her, "Joanna, don't let me find out what you have done in it!"
Even if Edward doesn't find evidence, but relying on his intuitive, he thinks Joanna has to do something with this matter, so he has already slapped Joanna on her face.
Edward turns around to carry up Alice, ignores the crowd, and resolutely leaves. The warden is completely stunned on the spot. To be precise, he is stunned when he sees Edward slap Joanna vigorously.
Joanna is the mayor's daughter, but now she is beaten like this under his nose. His chance of getting promoted and making a fortune is completely gone!
Damn it! This Edward is definitely a jinx!
Edward holds Alice tightly. He even forgets that he can drive away. He only knows that he wants to hold her like this and keeps walking until forever.
His assistant drives behind them. He has to pay attention to adjusting the speed. He can't drive neither too far away from them or past them.
It begins to rain. Gradually, it rains heavily as if to wash away all the dirt and filth in the world, and wash away the unbearable memories that people want to forget.
The assistant stops the car carefully. He takes out an umbrella, and then cautiously says, "Mr. Edward, it's raining. Miss Alice can't get wet now!"
Indeed, the wound on Alice's forehead has not healed. Although it has been almost a month, the wound on Alice's forehead has become more serious because it has not gotten timely treatment. As long as the wound is touched, the wound will bleed. Edward also notices it at this time. He feels so sorry for her.
She used to be the most delicate and the most afraid of pain. Even if it is small wounds, she will complain for it to him. Now, how can she bear such a severe wound?
Thinking of this, Edward feels that he should be grateful to the two children. Thanks to those two smart and lovely children, if they hadn't contacted him secretly, Alice's situation would have been more serious today. At that time, he might lose her completely. Yes, when he was looking for her for a long time but still couldn't find her, he was already furious. The two children contacted his assistant. Then he knew that during the time he was absent, she has actually been put in prison.
The most important thing now is to find a doctor. Seeing the wounds on Alice's face, touching her almost boneless body, a firm expression emerges in Edward's eyes. It's him who doesn't protect her well. From now on, no matter what situation is, he will never leave her again.
When they get to the villa, the doctor is already waiting. Edward is about to take a bath for Alice and put clean clothes on Alice. When he takes off Alice's clothes, he has an impulsive that he wants to return to the prison to kill those people who abuse her. Alice's original delicate and smooth skin now is covered with bruises. Every place is bruised. Fortunately, except for an obvious wound on the head, all other places are just bruised, not bleeding.
The doctor conscientiously checks Alice's body. Listening to the doctor's words, Edward's face darkens.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Moderate concussion, malnutrition, overwork, and even the wound on the forehead have been purulent without even getting the most basic treatment.
Malnutrition? Today in the 21st century, among a group of prisoners who are obviously eating well, Alice is actually malnourished. The temperature in the room is getting lower and lower. The face of Alice who is in unconscious is getting paler and paler, as if she falls into a nightmare that cannot be escaped.
Alice is dreaming. In her dream, she returns to her high school days.
"Hello, my name is Alice Roberts. What is your name?" "Edward Smith."
"Edward, Edward..." In her dream, she sees the indifferent Edward who she first met, the gentle Edward who was with her together, the angry Edward who she met again five years later. Finally, in her dream, Edward rushes to her and strangles her. He screams angrily and shakes her vigorously.
"Say. Why did you hit Jacquiline? Why? You vicious woman!"
"No, no, no, I didn't!"
Edward has been guarding Alice's side, so he is the first to hear her screaming. He reaches out and touches Alice's forehead, then he finds that Alice has a fever. "The wound has been inflamed for so long. How can she not have a fever?"
The doctor murmurs to himself, and then gets Alice the fever-reducing intravenous drip. After doing that, he goes to another room to stand by.
Edward stares at Alice's sleeping face. Alice still frowns unconsciously. Edward gently strokes Alice's forehead. He kisses her forehead cherishingly and restrainedly.
"Alice, I, Edward, will definitely protect you in this life from drifting away, from no one can rely on, from no more panic and fear."
The person in sleep seems to hear this extremely cherished oath. She doesn't frown anymore. Gradually, she sleeps sound.
However, Alice's nightmare is not over yet. The problems that have tormented her all these days still exist. She just suppresses her all worries because of the terrible environment of these days, but they have not disappeared.
