Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Are You Stupid?
Aaron didn’t get in the villa with her.
"Where’s my mom and Stuart?"
"Mrs. Bette was handling emergency events in the company. Lady Brittany got back home just now, but she had already left. Mr. Bates and Ivan also left. Mr. Yates was in the bedroom right now. He also came back just now."
"Okay. Thank you."
She knew everyone was busy dealing with her emergency. She couldn’t hide behind.
Edie pushed to open the bedroom. Unexpectedly, she saw Stuart’s naked body.
She froze, staring at his beautiful muscle. frёewebηovel.cѳm
The man looked pale. At the moment, he looked fragile and hurtful. His face was covered with a bruise. He hit someone just now.
His clothes got wet totally in the rain.
Stuart took a glimpse at her and took a washcloth to cover his lower body.
He rushed to ask William to treat Edie with justice.
He hit William. He forgot to control his anger.
If he helped Edie, the man behind would realize what happened. He would know Stuart fake it.
He understood this. But he couldn’t watch this without doing anything. Finally, he decided to satisfy others.
He walked into the bathroom and sent a text.
"I have men to help you investigate that news about Edie. Be sure to give her that she deserves."
Soon, the man replied to the text.
"What about you? What are you in this game?"
"The men that should satisfy you the most. I couldn’t take care of her now. So please treat her well."
Then, he turned off the phone. He didn’t want to read those words. They were burning his heart.
All he could do was this.
He stood at the door and touched the phone.
When he opened the door, he stood close to Edie.
He smiled. The smile was lonely and better.
Then he walked out. Seeing Edie, he said coldly, "I don’t want to see you now. Please leave."
Edie pressed her lips and pointed at the first-aid kit, "Your bruise. There. Apply some."
She didn’t ask him why he got a bruise, wet, and looked weak.
"Edie, could you divorce me now, after all those?" Stuart utters his words.
"After all those? Are you talking about that news? If I divorce you, I am acknowledging that news. So I won’t divorce you, for me, and, for you. I didn’t do that, no matter what you think. Even you are going to hate me, Stuart,"
She looked at him, determinedly and proudly.
When her eyes met him, she felt embarrassed.
Stuart’s eyes looked gentle and sincere.
But he kept hiding that.
He held his fist tightly to control himself. He got so nervous that he finally fell down on the ground.
Edie held him immediately. His body was so cold, like an ice cube.
"Did you wash in cold water?"
He didn’t answer her. He just held the edge of the bed and pushed her away.
If he didn’t wash in the cold water, he couldn’t stand that pain losing the girl she loved the most.
He wanted to stand the pain for her to protect her and their baby.
He was also suffering when she was in pain.
He knew the feeling because he feels the same too.
Looking at him, Edie cried out, "Are you out of mind? It was cold. You would get a cold. Are you stupid?"
Stuart buckled her hands and jumped out from the bed, "yes, I am out of mind, because of you."
All of a sudden, the room fell into silence.
Edie’s tear fell on the ground.
She stared at him, "All right then, show me."
Then she took the cotton bud and applied the medicine to the corner of his mouth. But he caught her hand.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Torturing you. I like that, the pain on your face, "she stared at him. Her eyes were cold, but her tears were hot. They were burning her skin.
Finally, Stuart loosened her hands. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
She pressed him on the bed and applied for the medicine carefully on his face.
He looked so calm as if he couldn’t feel the pain.
She was quite familiar with this face. She wanted to love her. She wanted to comfort him. But she couldn’t. He is now a different man. He totally has forgotten her. She thought.
Her concern wouldn’t make any difference. The man didn’t know to take care of himself.
Edie touched his forehead. He’s already got a fever. Edie didn’t know how long he’d been soaked in his wet clothes. Her heart was aching. She couldn’t control her tears falling down.
"Why are you crying?" Stuart wanted to hide his concern about her.
Edie sneered, "Cry for your death in advance. Please take care of yourself. Even if you hate me, do this for Hicks, for the woman you love the most. Please take good care of yourself. Don’t make her worry about you."
"Mind your own business," he lowered his eyes and held his fist.
She showed an ironic smile, "you are right. But I don’t want to be a widow. We haven’t get divorced. Legally, I am still your wife,"
These words sounded really familiar to Stuart.
Stuart was shocked. He started coughing.
His face turned red completely.
Edie was frightened. She couldn’t pretend anymore.
She patted his back gently and said, "how do you feel, stay here. I find you a doctor."
"Don’t. I just need to take some medicine," Stuart caught her waist tightly.
And he didn’t want to let her go.
Edie knew this. When he got a stomach ache, he also didn’t want to see a doctor.
She clenched her teeth and said, "okay, stay here. I would cook you some ginger soup. And buy some medicine."
"Don’t. We have medicine. You don’t have to go outside."
He still remembers those reporters outsides.
Edie thought he was still blaming her. But the man knew he stopped her going out because he didn’t want her to be hurt.
She pressed her lips, pretending to be easy.
"Don’t worry. I won’t go outside. Lie down. I will bring medicine for you."
