You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 768: Chapter 768: She Had Nothing

"Actually, it is because of me. I don’t want to go back home. I want to stay here. I feel happier while staying here."

Edie shrugged her shoulder and said in a peaceful voice.

"Would you mind my asking? What happened to you?"

"I am fine. Thank you for asking." Edie showed a slight smile. Then she asked Helen to get into the car. Edie would drive her back.

After sending Edie back, Edie drove back home alone.

It was eight o’clock in the evening. There were lots of cars on the road. Warm yellow light fell onto Edie’s skinny face.

Edie wanted to turn around, so she looked at the rear mirror. Suddenly she saw a familiar figure.

All of a sudden, her pupils shrunk. She braked the car hard and parked the car on the side.

Then she got out of the car immediately, looking towards the other side of the road.

The man was walking among those cars just now.

His body was quite straight. He lowered his head, wore a black shirt. He looked in such a hurry. freewebnøvel.com

Though Edie didn’t see his face, she was quite familiar with the back.

It looked like Stuart’s back.

Edie didn’t dare to be sure about that. She walked faster.

She kept avoiding those cars on the road and walked faster and faster. When he saw he was about to walk into a dark by-lane, Edie got panicked.

She immediately rushed to him.

However, a truck stopped her.

Edie was so frightened that she stepped backward. She fell on the ground. Her knees hit on the ground. She felt so hurtful.

The driver of the truck was also shocked. He braked the truck immediately and opened the window, "Are you blind? Don’t you see the red light?"

Edie struggled to stand up as if she didn’t hear the driver’s voice. Then she continued to run towards the direction the man walked.

No matter whether he was Stuart or not, she needed to be sure. Otherwise, she would regret it.

It was a by-lane, with road lamps on one side and the shadow of tall buildings on the other side. Edie felt it was so dimmed and cold. Edie was freezing in the cold wind blowing through the by-lane

There were two ways at the end of the by-lane.

Edie stood in the middle, looking towards both sides.

Edie couldn’t find that man.

He had disappeared.

Edie held her body tightly. She felt so cold, but she didn’t know why? Was it because of the cold wind? Or the coldness at the bottom of her heart.

She felt so weak that she fell down on the ground, starting sobbing.

She cuddled into a heap and buried her little face into her knees. Her warm tears wet the wound on her heart. It hurt deeply.

"Why don’t you let me take a glimpse. Give me a message, no matter whether you are alive or not. Tell me whatever happened. Even if you have selected others, tell me, please. I want to know you are still alive. As long as you are still alive, I would accept everything else. Stuart, come out, please. You have the gut to disappear. Why don’t you have the gut to see me, to explain to me? Asshole. You are such a big asshole...��

Edie kept sobbing. Tears kept pouring out from her eyes.

She sat in the cold wind for a long time. She didn’t want to move until Laty called her to ask her when she would arrive at Sophie’s home to pick them up.

Laty stood up and left the by-lane. She threw an eye on the by-lane and then....turned around, left.

The next day, Edie got sick.

She had a fever. Her face was reddened. She asked for several days off. But she didn’t want Laty to worry about her. So she sent two kids to Sophie’s home.

Then she stayed home alone. She drank some hot water and took some medicine. But she didn’t feel any better.

It got worse in the afternoon.

She lay on the bed for a whole morning. She felt her head kept aching. When she opened her eyes to check the thermometer, it was 40 degrees. In the beginning, Edie didn’t want to go to the hospital. But now she had to see a doctor.

She felt so thirsty. She wanted to get up to pour herself a glass of water and change clothes. But when she stepped on the ground, she fell down. She accidentally moved the glass. The glass fell on the ground, crushing into pieces.

Her hands pressed on the ground, covered with those glass pieces.

Her arms were covered with wounds caused by those pieces.

But Edie could no longer feel that pain. Because she felt so pain in the head that she cuddled into a heap to stand it.

It was so painful...

She felt she might die the next moment.

As she was half-awake, she saw someone. He walked to her and held her into his arms.

She saw his face.

In her ambiguous sight, the man looked so familiar. He smelt so familiar. Even the temperature on his body and his heart-beating were so familiar.

He was...

Stuart? freēwebnovel.com

"Is it you?"

Edie raised her hand, trying to touch his face. But she was too weak now to do this.

When her fingers touched the man’s face, she faded away. Her hands fell down.

Seeing this, Stuart frowned deeply. Looking at the little woman in his arms, his heart started aching. He immediately sent the woman to the hospital, without any hesitation.

The doctor said it might be too late if Stuart didn’t send her here immediately. The fever might hurt Edie’s brain.

When Stuart wanted to step into the ward to look after Edie, a thin woman grabbed his hands, with determination.

The woman was so firm.

She wore a big coat and a hat on her head. She wore a big face mask, covering most parts of her face, covering all those scary wounds on her face. Only her big eyes were exposed to others.

She grabbed Stuart’s hands with her skinny little hands. Those hands looked so pale and weak.

The woman didn’t say more words. She just fixed her eyes on Stuart.

No...

She said this word with her eyes.

When Stuart looked into her eye, he trembled. He frowned, reminding the agreement he’s reached with Marina.

He clenched his eyes, tightening his fist. The blue veins popped out on his hands. Apparently, he was suffering inside.

He threw an eye on Edie lying in the ward outside the door. But he couldn’t step in.

After quite a while, he looked away painfully. Then he held Marina’s body and said in a peaceful voice, "Let’s enjoy some sunlight in the yard."

While saying these words, Stuart sounded so bitter and forbear.

He was so guilty to Edie.

Hearing these words, Marina felt so uncomfortable. She wanted to make them perfect. But she still wanted to have him for a longer time. Otherwise, she would feel so pitiful.

Julia had a brother that loved her so much. Edie had a daughter and so many relatives and friends. But Marina has nothing more than a sister that would never forgive her and a lover that she would never get.

She had nothing. She was such a poor girl. Now she wanted warmth. Why couldn’t the god just give her so warmth? She desperately needed this.

Therefore, she decided to be selfish. She didn’t want to fill her life with pity. She wanted something warm.

Marina closed her eyes painfully, forcing herself to be tougher.

She needed her to be more generous to herself.

She wanted to have Stuart for a longer time. Then, she would give up. She would let him go.
