Edward read the threatening mail mentioned by Celine carefully, especially the time on the mail sent. The last one was half an hour ago. But at that time, Irene was in his arms, unconscious. How could she send such a mail?
His eyes darkened, so was it because she had a helper, or was it because... the mastermind was someone else?
"Edward, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that he did not speak, Celine asked him softly.
"I will handle this matter. Have a good rest." He came to his senses. Then he got up and was about to leave.
Celine reached out her hand to hold him, and tears welled up in her eyes. She said piteously, "Edward, can you stay with me today? I am very scared... She actually sent me such a threatening letter, and I am worried that she'll do something bad..."
Edward stopped and held Celine's hand with the other hand.
Celine couldn't help but be overjoyed. However, she looked even more pitiful and her eyes were pleading.
But the next moment, Edward grabbed her hand and pulled it away without leaving a trace.
"I will arrange for someone to accompany you. I have some work to do at the hospital. I will come back tomorrow to accompany you. You go back first." His voice was warm, but there was only politeness and aloofness in it and nothing else.
Celine clasped her fingers and the expression on her face became almost stiff. She changed the subject and waited until her mood improved before saying, "Edward, you will stay in the hospital. Are you ill? Are you not feeling well?"
"I am well." Edward looked indifferent and said no more. He sent Celine to the gate of the hospital and returned. Irene was still in the ward, and he wondered if she was awake.
Celine stood alone at the door. She gritted her teeth and endured for a while, but she couldn't help but reply with a tearful and angry voice.
"Edward, the child in my belly is two months. When can we get married and be together publicly? I don't want the child to be called an illegitimate after birth."
Edward's steps suddenly stopped at the door, and his deep eyes were dark and stern.
That's right. Since Celine was pregnant with his child, he should be responsible for the mistakes he made while he was drunk.
"I will do what I promised you." He didn't look back, only leaving behind this sentence before directly leaving.
But that was enough to make Celine happy. He had promised her that he would come back and marry her after he divorced Irene!
Celine left the hospital with satisfaction with a smug on her face. She could be Mrs. Wilson soon!
The phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated. Celine picked up and looked at it. Suddenly, her face changed!
It was a new text message—'Celine, how is our child?'
.....
Edward passed through a corridor and once again passed through the ward.
He looked up. After hesitating for a second, he still opened the ward door.
The woman in the hospital bed was still sleeping peacefully. The sun shining through the window shone on her pale face, and her crystal-white skin was almost transparent.
Edward approached her gently. And for the first time, he looked down quietly at the woman's face.
Undoubtedly she was beautiful. In contrast to Celine's dazzling charm, this woman's beauty was more delicate and elegant, with a kind of bright beauty that made people impressed.
He was enticed by her beauty. He did not expect Irene to suddenly open his eyes at this moment. Their eyes suddenly met.
Irene had just woken up from her coma and was not very clear-headed. When she suddenly saw the man's profile, she thought she was still dreaming. She stared at him with wide and dazed eyes and had no further reaction.
Her eyes were so captivating that it seemed that someone had pinched his heart, which disturbed his heartbeat.
He quickly looked away and paused on the spot without knowing what to say for a while.
Irene blinked her eyes and slowly came to her senses.
She bit the tip of her tongue. It hurt, so it was not a dream. She was really saved by her husband.
Leaning against the edge of the bed, she slowly sat up. She moved her lips and whispered, "Thank you for saving me."
"Hmm," Edward said, but he still did not know what to say. After pausing for a while, he finally said, "You do not have to thank me. When you have time, sign the divorce agreement."
Irene's body suddenly stiffened, and her heart tightened. The dull pain was muffled.
Did he save her just for that?
Irene's heart was full of bitterness and she was speechless.
Edward did not hear the answer. He frowned and asked again, "Have you heard what I said?"
Irene looked up with her clear eyes. She asked softly, "Edward, why did you come to save me?"
Edward could not answer. In fact, he was not there to save her, but to get even with her. He just happened to save her.
But he suddenly did not want to tell her the reason why he saved her.
He didn't want her to know that he didn't intend to save her.
Irene did not persist in his reply. She lowered her head and continued, "No matter why you saved me, I will never agree to a divorce. Even if Celine is pregnant, the child can only be illegitimate!"
She had to give up on the thought of her divorcing him. In her dreams!
She looked up again, and the light in her eyes returned which had the same stubbornness and unyieldingness that Edward was familiar with.
The atmosphere between them instantly returned to the original. The peace just now seemed to be an illusion.
"So you recorded this kind of video to threaten me?" His heartbeat returned to normal. He stared coldly at this woman, he felt ridiculous when thinking of how he had been softhearted because of her emaciated looking. He felt ridiculous.
She was used to acting. she was a good actress. Otherwise, how could she coax her grandmother to force him to marry her?
"That kind of video?" Irene stunned for a moment and immediately realized what the video was. As she expected, Celine had planned it really well.
She lifted her gaze again and looked at Edward, who was pressing her. From the looks of it, he believed Celine's words. Why did he think she was really so shameless that she could even record videos to threaten him?
She suddenly curled her lips and smiled. Perhaps her dead heart made her fearless. She lifted her chin proudly and calmly. "Yes, Edward, believe it or not, I have a more exciting video in my hand? hmm......"
Edward frowned, and the coldness in his eyes almost turned into substance, poking through Irene's soul.
He leaned slightly and said coldly to her, "Irene, I don't care what other bargaining chips you have. If you dare hurt Celine, I'll make you suffer!"
Irene forced a smile, and her eyes calmly looked straight into the threatening eyes of Edward.
"Edward, how can you deal with me? Your cheating in our five-year-marriage is the greatest revenge for me. I would care nothing but divorce!"
Edward stood straight, looking down on her indifferently.
"Well, Irene, see you in court."
Irene suddenly clutched the bedspread, and her pale face grew still paler. She tried to speak in a hoarse voice, but Edward spoke first.
His voice was as cold as the most ruthless knife in the world.
"If you want to make trouble with Celine, you can do whatever you want. I'm going to divorce anyway!"
