Chapter 15 Not Allowed to Leave
When Sandra was awake, it was raining outside.
She felt warm in the blanket, but she knew clearly that something was lost.
Her baby...
Although she had never imagined to be a mother.
She looked around to see a tall person standing next to the window.
She opened her mouth, tried to say something, but only a few muffled words could be heard.
The person next to the window turned back immediately, some concerns in his eyebrows.
"Sandra, you are awake?"
Eddie was in white shirt, lean back with broad shoulders and thin waist, as clean as a teenager.
She sat up while eyes were looking down to hide her disappointment in her eyes.
"It's you."
Eddie paused as if he got an electric shock.
But he recovered soon to get up.
"It's good that you are up. Actually, I am here to say goodbye."
He lowered his head to look at her face without any makeup.
Her face was like the lotus just about to blossom, cool and restraint.
She saved his life.
Ten years ago, all the Green's children, including him, were kidnapped by the feud, and was locked in a warehouse full of cockroaches and rats, but no light or food.
He thought they were going to die. But then she came.
Sandra was very good at shooting at that time. Although her arm was hurt, she managed to shoot the lock accurately.
She came into his world like the light shining at the moment when the door was open, she like a goddess came to the earth.
From then on, his eyes could only see her.
Looking back to the past, Eddie stretched his hand to put a strand of her hair back to her ear, unconsciously.
But Sandra retreated her body unintentionally.
It was odd, but she gazed at his enthusiastic eyes, asked.
"Leaving?"
"Yes. I need to be away for a while."
Eddie put on a relieved smile on his lips.
At the end, he announced the war with Clinton.
In these years, it made him sad to see her around him. But he couldn't do anything due to his position.
Finally, he made it clear to Clinton and volunteered to kill John Wilson. If he succeeded, it was granted as passing the test and he could have more authority in the Greens.
Then he could protect her.
Eddie knew clearly that he shouldn't but still he put his hand gently on her head.
Her hair was sleek and soft, same as he imaged always.
"Don't worry, I will be back soon."
Eddie smiled; the lovely dimples appeared. He touched her hand carefully and then put his hand in the pocket.
The ward door was closed again.
She watched him leaving but felt uncertain inside.
Why must he leave at that moment?
Suddenly what Clinton said came into her mind.
"Since you care so much about him, I will send him to assassinate John Wilson."
No, it should be like that!
Suddenly, her face lost color.
If he did send Eddie to kill John, Eddie had no idea John was her brother.
It would result in failure on both sides.
No matter who would die, it would never be something she would like to see.
As soon as she thought of it, she struggled to get out of the bed, sneaking out of the hospital to get into a cab.
When she went home, Clinton was feeding a grape to Charlize, and cleaning her hands with wet towel.
He turned to her indifferently when he saw her back.
"Why are you back?"
Sandra took a deep breath and went straight into the topic.
"Sir, please forgive my brother and Eddie."
Clinton turned around slowly.
He cast the towel in a basin and looked at her up and down.
"Are you done?"
"...... "
It made her speechless, her fingernails were deeply into her palm.
In a snap, her voice became anxious.
"Sir, I had never asked you to do anything for me. But this time, I beg you... "
"Shut up!"
She never begged him, but at that moment she would rather beg him for other man.
He couldn't help himself getting furious and left Charlize to walk straight to Sandra.
He pulled her clothes and dragged her to the upstairs.
Bang!
She was cast hard to the floor in the bedroom.
His face turned stone cold while his hand was on the door handle.
"Unfortunately, I won't forgive them, and instead, I sent Eddie to take responsible for the whole case."
Then he closed the bedroom door.
She heard the door was locked.
And his steps were further and further while giving orders to the servant.
"Watch her. She shouldn't leave the room without my permission!"
