Chapter 357 The Sudden Appearance of William
Hearing that, Margaret's heart skipped a beat, and she thought that Betty's friend must be Pryce..
"By the way, I have a photo of the two of them," The elderly woman suddenly remembered and said.
Margaret quickly asked, "Can I see it?"
"Of course." The elderly woman smiled, stood up, searched in a drawer for a while, and took out a yellowed old photo.
"Found it." The elderly woman carefully held the photo and handed it to Margaret. "This is the photo."
With a hint of excitement, Margaret took the photo.
In the photo, there was a young man and a young woman. The man was wearing casual clothes, had short hair, and wore black-framed glasses.
It was indeed Pryce.
And the young girl standing next to Pryce, wearing a floral dress and with braids, tall and with delicate features, must be Betty.
She really looked a lot like her.
No wonder both Pryce and the elderly woman mistook her.
Margaret stared at the photo for a while, wondering who this Betty exactly was and why she looks so much like he.
Margaret felt a direct connection, a blood relation with Betty, and she suspected that Betty could be her sister or mother.
Looking at the photo and recalling the elderly woman's past descriptions, Pryce and Betty must have been very close. Could they have been a couple?
Then why was Pryce living alone in such a cold and distant place like Glacial Crest now? Where was Betty?
It seemed that all these questions would only be answered when she met Pryce.
"Thank you." Margaret returned the photo to the elderly woman.
The elderly woman warmly insisted that Margaret stay for dinner. By the time Margaret was ready to leave, it was already dark.
Margaret walked towards the hospital and entered a dark alley.
The alley was eerie and lacked streetlights. For some reason, she felt like someone was following her.
Margaret turned around, and sure enough, a shadow was behind her.
"Who is it!" Margaret shouted.
The shadow reached out and pulled her into an embrace. A magnetic voice sounded. "It's me."
Margaret looked up and, by the moonlight, saw the man in front of her. His black suit almost blended into the night, his exquisite and chiseled features, and his captivating eyes were looking at her with a hint of a smile.
It was William.
Margaret was stunned. "What are you doing here?"
"I missed you, so I came." William lowered his gaze, deeply looking at the woman in his arms.
Even though it had only been a few days, William felt like it had been a century.
He couldn't stop thinking about her.
"That's so cheesy." Margaret pursed her lips, a small sense of joy bubbling up inside her.
Actually, she missed him too.
But William leaned in slightly, his voice low and husky in her ear. "I can be even cheesier."
His seductive voice in the darkness seemed to have a bewitching power.
Margaret's heart skipped a beat.
She looked up and saw William's incredibly handsome face getting closer and closer until he kissed her red lips.
That familiar feeling made Margaret tense up. She reached out and wrapped her arms around William's neck.
Feeling her warmth and initiative, William's breath hitched, and he deepened the kiss.
His desire for her was fully expressed in this deep kiss.
He pried open her lips, his tongue exploring, sucking forcefully, both domineering and gentle.
Margaret moaned softly, responding to him.
Just as they were passionately kissing, a mother and kid walked by.
"Mommy, what are they doing?" The little girl curiously looked at Margaret and William, her soft voice reaching them.
The girl's mother quickly covered her eyes. "Don't look."
Margaret's face flushed, and she quickly pushed William away.
Margaret hurriedly pulled William's arm. "Let's go!"
Seeing her shy expression, William chuckled softly, put his arm around Margaret's shoulder, and followed her steps.
Margaret changed the subject. "By the way, you haven't said why you suddenly came to Maplewood. Weren't you supposed to keep an eye on Angel?"
Margaret thought Angel would be suspicious with William suddenly coming to Maplewood.
"Don't worry, I'm here for disaster relief." William glanced at Margaret, feeling Margaret didn't want to see him.
"Disaster relief?" Margaret was taken aback.
"Of course." William smirked. "How could the Fisher Group miss out on earthquake relief?"
"Alright." Margaret was speechless, because he really needn't to come personally for this.
William followed Margaret into the hospital, and Margaret briefly told William about the events of the past few days.
"I'll go check on Juniper and Alden first." Arriving at the hospital, Margaret's mood grew heavier thinking about Alden's injuries.
William nodded, his voice deep. "I'll go with you."
They pushed open the ward door and saw Juniper sitting by Alden's bed, looking worried.
Samuel was sitting next to Juniper, trying to cheer her up.
Seeing William, Samuel quickly stood up, both surprised and delighted. "Mr. Fisher, even you came?"
William held Margaret's hand, his expression calm. "I came to find my wife."
Margaret remained silent.
She gave William a sidelong glance. "Who is your wife?"
With that, Margaret ignored William and walked to Juniper's side, asking softly, "How is Alden?"
Juniper sighed, her eyes full of worry. "He's still unconscious."
"Let me take a look," Margaret patted Juniper's shoulder, comforting her, "Don't worry."
Margaret examined Alden. His injuries were still severe.
Although she had used acupuncture to temporarily save Alden's leg, for a complete cure, they needed Pryce's help.
Not wanting to worry Juniper, Margaret smiled and said, "It's not a big problem. We'll go back to Ravenford tomorrow and wait for Pryce there."
"Okay." Juniper nodded. "Margaret, will Alden really be alright?"
"Of course!" Margaret's tone was firm.
William also stepped forward. "Juniper, don't worry. Pryce's medical skills are top-notch. Didn't he cure my leg?"
Juniper finally breathed a sigh of relief, forcing a smile. "Yes, Alden will definitely be alright!"
