Edie asked lots of people. Finally, she heard her husband and daughter went to the stores at the door of the school.
When Edie arrived at the door of the school, she saw what happened there.
Stuart was standing at the store’s door, with Laty on his left and Sophie on his right. They were enjoying their coca-cola and ice cream. They looked delighted.
Stuart already changed his clothes. His suit and shining leather shoes made him look more handso.
Quite different from the ragged store behind him.
Has Laty forgotten that she still had a mother?
"Who...who allows you to eat this?" Edie stared at Laty angrily.
Laty rolled eyes and then stuffed everything into Stuart’s hands, "Please, help . Thank you so much."
Then, she held Sophie’s hands and ran away.
Stuart walked to Edie and explained to her, "Laty wants it."
"So you buy them for her? It is so bad for her health. Do you know about that? Besides, I have already told you not to eat this. You dare to hide here and eat this with them. Have you considered your stomach? It might kill you, do you know that? Throw them away, right now."
Edie said like a babysitter and threw them away.
Stuart didn’t stop her. Instead, he stood there, watching her doing everything. Then, he showed a happy smile.
Edie was concerned about her. It felt so good.
However, at the mont, he felt so painful in his stomach.
After throwing that food in the trash, Edie returned back, seeing Stuart frowning. Sweat popped out from his forehead. She got nervous, "How many ice creams did you eat just now?"
"Two."
"How many ice sticks?"
"One."
"Coca-cola?"
"One and a half bottles."
Laty gave her a half bottle.
"What!??? Holy crap. You are driving crazy. Let’s go to the hospital." Edie said angrily.
Edie didn’t want Laty to know much about Stuart. So she asked Sophie’s parents to help her take Laty ho. She would pick her up later.
"How do you co here? In a car? Alone? Where’s Ivan?"
She started the engine and stepped on the accelerator. Seeing Stuart’s pale face in the mirror, Edie got so nervous.
"My car is in the garage. Ivan is in the flat now. He didn’t co with ." Stuart answered. He looked so painful. Sweat kept pouring down from his forehead. He was suffering from his stomach ache.
But...
He was still smiling.
"I need to send you to the hospital now. As for your car, you can co to drive it away later."
Then, she drove towards the hospital.
She sent him into the ward and handled every process for him.
It was Acute gastroenteritis. It was in September. The weather turned cold outside. He didn’t eat anything this morning. Plus, he ate lots of cold drinks in the afternoon. So he got this.
After the doctor gave Stuart an injection and left, Edie poured a glass of water for him, "New glass. I’ve washed it with hot water. Drink so water now."
She knew he wouldn’t use a used cup. He had an obsession with cleanliness. So she explained in advance.
Hearing her words, Stuart showed a pure smile, "I thought you might leave now."
Edie fell into silence.
She lowered her eyes. Until this mont, she realized she appeared to have cared about him too much just now.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Take rest here. I need to drive your car here. Then you can drive back to your house directly."
As she was about to leave, Stuart caught her hands tightly.
"Why did you leave without saying a word to , five years ago," Stuart has been controlling himself for a long ti. He’s been wanting to ask this question for a long ti. Now he finally gathered all courage to ask her.
His palm was a little cold. Edie could feel his hands sweating. Her heart started trembling.
She turned her back towards him and took a deep breath. Then she said, "Don’t you understand why I chose to leave? It was your mother that ruined my childhood; it was your mother that killed my mother. It was your mother that made an orphan. Isn’t this enough for you?"
She couldn’t tell him the truth. So she chose to give him the best excuse.
"Enough. So I want to make an andnt for you. I could make up for her mistakes. What about that?" Stuart said in a low voice. But Edie could feel his determination from his words.
Edie frowned and turned towards him, "Stuart, haven’t you understood? It is impossible for us now. Otherwise, I would not leave you for such a long ti. Your world is not suitable for . It is never suitable for . I want you to keep away from my family. All I want now is to live a peaceful life with my daughter. Please, I beg you."
"Then, I can cut my relationship with the Yates and the world you hate. I can co into your world. Okay?"
His eyes were shining with the light of eagerness. Words popped out from his thin rose-colored lips.
"I can give up everything in the L.N and co to you. Do you agree with that?"
"I...." Edie froze. She never expected that he would suggest this. She didn’t know how to answer him.
"Really? Is it real that you refuse because of our last generation conflict?" Stuart asked her in a serious tone. His eyes were so profound as if they could see everything Edie thought.
Edie got nervous. She was afraid that he would find everything if she stayed here for one more second. So she got rid of his hands and escaped away from the ward.
"Edie."
Apparently, Stuart didn’t expect that Edie would escape from him. He stood up imdiately, trying to catch her.
But, he failed.
Edie took Stuart’s key and drove his car back to the hospital. Then she parked the car in the underground parking lot.
When she got off the car, a man ran towards her quickly.
"Who is it?"
She frowned and shouted out. Then she turned around. To her surprise, it was Stuart. He looked so pale and weak.
It took her only fifteen minutes to drive his car back. He couldn’t finish the injection. How long has he been waiting here?
"Stuart....what....why?"
"I know you wouldn’t want to see when you co back. So I should co here to wait for you." Stuart said in a weak voice.
Edie opened her mouth, trying to say sothing.
Actually, Stuart was right. She indeed planned to give the key to the nurse and leave the hospital directly.
"Stuart, I need to pick up Laty now. It is too late. Take the key. Goodbye."
She passed the key to him. He raised his hands slowly.
Edie thought he wanted to take the key. But he didn’t. Instead, he held her hands and pulled her into his arms, started kissing her.
The kiss was so warm and sincere, like the warm ocean. She was almost imrsed in it.
He kissed her so carefully this ti. But still, Edie felt he was so eager and desirable.
He kissed her lips, rolled her tongue, and every inch insides her mouth.
When she realized what happened, she stared at the man in front of her in shock. Though he was so weak at the mont, he still looked handso and elegant.
She pushed him away imdiately, without any hesitation.
He was sick. When she pushed him, he couldn’t see standstill.
He couldn’t help himself coughing out.
Seeing this, Edie got nervous again.
