Chapter 45
At first, Aveline was puzzled by why Nora suddenly had such a big reaction and even fell to the ground. It turned out that she was faking the current situation.
She had known that Alexander was about to come back, so it was no wonder the child appeared here.
It was no wonder she would fall down while holding the child, and even at that angle, the child would definitely be injured!
In
order to achieve her goal, she was so ruthless, using the child as her bargaining chip.
When she saw Jamie about to fall, her body reacted faster than her consciousness. She caught Jamie in time, letting him crash heavily into her.
A part of his weight landed right on the arm where she had an IV port installed. The doctor had repeatedly instructed her not to lift heavy objects or hurt her arm.
When the child fell, she couldn’t care about all that. Although the other party was not a newborn baby, he was still so small. She didn’t even think about her own body.
Descending at such a fast speed, everything seemed to spin around her, and her arm was so painful it felt like her heart was being torn apart.
When she opened her eyes and saw the child lying in her arms, looking at her with a pair of big curious eyes, Aveline finally breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he was fine.
Alexander walked in quickly, and Nora immediately got up and angrily scolded Aveline, “Miss Blackwood, I know you hate me, but Jamie is just a child. How could you not spare even him?”
Indeed, to outsiders, it seemed like she had just rushed over to harm the child.
Being manipulated by Nora was not the first time, and Aveline was too tired to argue anymore. She was sweating profusely from the pain in her body, with cold sweat running down her back, and even breathing was painful.
Alexander didn’t blame Aveline for anything. He squatted down and picked up Jamie, but Jamie didn’t want to leave.
He tightly held onto Aveline’s collar, anxiously mumbling a bunch of incomprehensible words.
Chapter 45
Alexander’s cold gaze fell on Jamie’s face. Although he was just a baby, he was very observant and immediately shut his mouth.
With a pouting face, he looked at Aveline, seemingly wanting her to hold him.
Nora took the child from Alexander’s hands, but the child continued to cry have any contact with him.
unhappily, not wanting her to
“Alexander, the child wants you,” Nora pitifully said, “I brought him here specifically to find you. I didn’t expect Miss Blackwood to…”
Alexander interrupted her incessant talk, displeased. “I’ll send
you back.”
Aveline maintained her posture of lying on her back. She wanted to get up, but her body was like that of an old lady in her seventies. After falling down, she didn’t have the strength to get up.
She needed someone to help her, so she looked at Alexander and said, “Alexander, can you…”
Alexander glanced at her indifferently. “I’ll come back later.”
Aveline could only watch his cold back, a helpless smile appearing on her lips. He had indeed changed.
Before, even if he knew he was pretending to be in pain, he would still come over to comfort her. But now that she was truly in pain and couldn’t get up, he no longer believed her.
Actually, it had nothing to do with trust. It was his heart that had changed.
Snowflakes fell gently on her face, and she remembered when she first started dating Alexander. His personality was cold, always walking ahead with a cold expression on his face.
That day, she deliberately sprained her ankle and sat on the ground, counting how long it would take for him to turn around. Before she could even count to three, he had turned around and ran towards her.
It was the first time she saw the anxiety on his face. Holding him tightly by the neck, she smiled and said, “See if you still want to walk so fast in the future.”
Since then, whenever they walked together, he would hold her hand and walk side by side with her, never leaving her behind.
At this moment, Aveline silently counted in her heart: 1, 2, 3…
17, 18….

‘Alexander, I’m in so much pain. Can’t you turn around and look at me?”
