Chapter 77
Aveline looked at the door that seemed like it would never be opened, and the light in her eyes gradually faded away.
No matter how many times she came, the outcome was always the same.
The last time it was the child, and this time, was it her?
She still remembered that half an hour after she had finished the surgery, he finally arrived at Nora’s ward. Faced with the fact that she had already lost the child, her heart turned to ashes. She asked in a dull voice, “Why did you save her?
“Because you know how to swim.”
Upon hearing this answer, her restrained tears finally fell.
At that time, she was six months pregnant and her feet were bound by a fishing net underwater. She was just a pregnant woman and not some almighty being..
This time, he thought his body was still the same as before. Even if he got drenched in cold water, it would at most be a small cold. But he didn’t know that for a patient undergoing chemotherapy, even a minor cold could take away their life.
He thought he could control the world, but this time he would pay the price for his arrogance.
Besides the unconscious Anthony, she no longer had any attachment to this world.
She was like a prisoner bound to a cross, persisting until the end, only able to lower her head and wait for the judgment of death.
She didn’t know how long had passed, but the door was finally opened. She weakly lifted her head and her gaze fell on the tall figure standing by the door.
She struggled to hold on to her last breath and looked at him as he walked towards her, standing in front of her. He asked, “Aveline, do you know what you did wrong?”
Wrong?
What did she do wrong?
At this moment, Aveline wanted to laugh. Her stomach had long been numb from the pain, her hands. stiff and numb, and even her body was so cold that she had no feeling.
What else could she say? All of this was her own doing.
Aveline’s lips moved like a dying fish, “Alexander, I was wrong.
In the darkness, the corners of his lips lifted slightly.
Alexander quickly released her restraints, and with it came Aveline’s weak body, as well as those chilling words.
“My biggest mistake was meeting you.”
Jordan turned on the light, and in the instant the light flooded their eyes, Alexander saw the bloody mess
on her wrist.
She had injured herself to the point of such a mess just to free herself from the belt. In the past, even a small needle prick would make her scream for half a day.
He lifted Aveline’s body, her face pale and lifeless, her black hair pressed against her cheek, she looked like a porcelain doll.
Alexander’s heart started to panic, how could this be?
In the past, her physical condition was so good that she could go winter swimming. How could she become so weak from just getting a little wet?
“Aveline, stop pretending.”
Looking at the person who looked like a corpse, he reached out and touched her cheek, but there was no
warmth.
Alexander’s hands trembled as he held her body, “Call the doctor!”
Jordan was also frightened and quickly dialed the private doctor’s number.
Alexander panicked. He thought he understood the human body well enough. It had only been half an
hour, it should have been a lesson for her, how could it turn out like this?
He hurriedly took off Aveline’s clothes and started to administer first aid.
Fortunately, her breath, although weak, was still there.
