There are usually two possibilities when a man does not save another womans number.
One is that he can remember her phone number and another one is that he does not take her seriously at all.
Optimistic as Hellen was, she knew the first possibility was literally impossible.
So the only answer was—that she even did not deserve a position in Edwards list of addresses.
Using her last strength to cut the line, Hellen decided to endure the pain alone.
But she seriously underestimated the crushing pain.
Feeling like thousands of knives slashing her stomach at the same time, Hellen trembled violently with a thick layer of sweat on her forehead.
When her consciousness was on the verge of collapsing, the mobile phone she threw aside rang again.
Was it from Edward?
Hellen did not want to pick the phone up, but her instinct manipulated her to answer that call.
"Hellen, huh, have you seen the round moon outside? I am deeply impressed and decided to send you a gift. Will you do me a favor and take it?"
Richards words sounded like joking but were stained with inexplicable seriousness.
"I…"
Hellen weakly opened her mouth but fainted the next moment.
……
When Hellen recovered her consciousness, her nose was filled with the smell of disinfectant water which only belonged to the hospital.
"Where am I?"
Hellen glanced around with confusion, only to see a face approaching her.
"Youre finally awake."
Richard smiled, with his eyes bloodshot.
"Chronic gastritis with a history of gastric bleeding", the mild man in Hellens memory rarely showed some anger in front of her: "Do you even know how to take care of yourself?"
"I…"
"Okay, it doesnt matter."
Richard interrupted Hellen and handed her a cup of warm water as well as some white pills: "Take this. The doctor asked you to take it as soon as waking up."
"Thank you."
Hellen took the pills and swallowed them.
"Wheres your boyfriend?"
Richard asked in an irritable tone: "Dont tell me he did not know how terrible your condition is."
Hellen refused to be his boyfriend last year, saying that her boyfriend could take good care of her.
But what he saw was not what she said at all!
"Hes busy."
Hellen forced a reluctant smile.
She did not lie.
Edward was indeed busy with amusing Chole.
"Fine."
Richard took a heavy sigh and silently sat beside Hellen: "Ive promised to respect your choice—even if that man is a scum."
Tired and sad, Hellen soon fell asleep again.
Not long after she closed her eyes, her mobile phone rang.
Seeing the "Honey" on the screen, Richard easily guessed the caller was that irresponsible scum.
"Whats up?"
He answered the call in a fit of pique: "Shes asleep."
Edward was stunned for a while, then directly cut the line.
He looked down at his watch.
1: 45 am
The time darkened his face in an instant, and he could not help clenching his fist: "Liar!"
Hellen did not wake up until the drip was finished.
Though she declined Richard several times, he still insisted on driving her home.
Seeing that enthusiastic man off, Hellen pushed the door open with fatigue.
As she turned the light on, the figure on the sofa took her aback in a sudden.
"Why are you here?"
She asked and glimpsed at the watch, only to find it was 3 in the morning.
"Where have you been?"
Edward coldly questioned Hellen, like a strict policeman interrogating a criminal.
Hellen was somewhat upset by his overbearing tone, so she ignored him and headed straight to her bedroom: "Its none of your business."
"You became much daring after breaking up", Edward almost forced those words out of his throat.
"Breaking up?"
Hellen sneered: "When were we together?"
The complicated emotions in Edwards eyes suddenly turned into sheer anger.
Hellen suddenly felt everything in front of her going around.
When she recovered from the daze, she was surprised to find herself pressed by Edwar and his hand was wantonly touching her body.
"Take your hand off me!"
Hellen violently struggled: "Im in no mood to play with you!"
"Is this because you have another man?"
Edward snorted with sarcasm.
Hellen did not know what he was talking about, but this somewhat reminded her of what she saw in the daytime.
"I am not as greedy as you."
She retorted: "I will not look at another guy when having one next to me."
Suppressing the surging emotions in her chest, she poured out the voice in her heart: "Now that Chole is coming back, we should make a clean cut."
"You want to make a clean cut with me?"
Edward sneered and took out underwear with sexy lace: "Then why do you put this under my pillow?"
