Chapter 246
They collected people’s money to help them eliminate disasters, eliminate disasters, and die.
Nelissa’s face turned pale, and she finally realized the danger. If she still had the luck to survive yesterday, she would only be completely frightened now. She felt extremely uncomfortable.
She took Edward’s big hand and asked, “Do you want me to die?”
Edward didn’t answer him directly. He was good at avoiding questions that he didn’t want to answer. “From now on, there will be bodyguards to protect you 24 hours a day. You don’t have to worry about Noelle for Nathan. I’ve arranged everything for you. It’s okay. You take care of yourself first.”
The more Nelissa listened, the more she felt that something was wrong. It seemed that nothing had happened. If nothing had happened, why would she need bodyguards to protect her and Noelle for Nathan? She had been targeted and someone wanted to kill her, but why?
“Edward, I…” Nelissa was so anxious that she couldn’t help coughing. The pain in her chest made her burst into tears. She covered her chest and frowned.
Edward immediately pressed the bell, held her back to help her breathe, and kept talking to her to calm her down.
The female nurse came in a hurry. Yifan quickly made way for her. He was really worried that something bad would happen to Nelissa. It was the first time that he had seen his good friend, Edward, treat a girl so well. Presumably, he had a special position in her heart.
After taking a breath, Nelissa felt much better. Just now, she was just angry. She waved to the female nurse and said, “I’m fine. Don’t give me an injection.”
She had this kind of needle last night. Later, she became extremely tired and fell asleep. She didn’t want to do it again.
The female nurse was sure that Nelissa was really fine, so she nodded and went out. She closed the door and said, “Remember to ring the bell if you need anything.”
Edward choked up a cup of warm water and fed it to Nelissa. It wasn’t until the sickly blush on her face faded away that he said in a low and stern voice, “Nelissa, you have to believe that I can protect you with my ability. Don’t think too much about some things. They’re out of your control. Don’t make your body feel heavier because of these things. I won’t let you experience the same kind of injury twice. It’s okay, trust me.”
Naturally, Nelissa trusted Edward. In this fickle world, trust became luxury. The only man she could rely on and trust was Edward.
She covered her chest, lowered her eyes, and said softly, “I believe in you. I’m just afraid.” She was simply afraid of death.
Everyone was afraid of death, not to mention that she was so afraid of pain.
After an unknown period of time, Edward finally opened his mouth. His voice was cryptic as he said, “Don’t be afraid.” He didn’t know how to describe Jian Jie’s words. He was more afraid than Nelissa, afraid that he would lose her forever.
Nelissa gently leaned her head into Edward’s arms. When she smelled the pleasant scent that belonged to him, she immediately felt much more at ease. “Yes.”
Edward opened his arms to hold Nelissa’s petite body. His brows were tightly knitted, and his expression was unfathomable.
Yi Fan said, “Dude, it’s better to file a case. This matter belongs to the vicious case. It should be handed over to the police to investigate. We will protect her.”
Edward glanced at him and asked, “How are you going to protect her?”
Yifan said his own thoughts, “Send the police to protect her and let the police take advantage of her. After she is discharged from the hospital, wherever she goes or goes to work, she can follow her at any time.”
Edward smiled but didn’t say anything. He didn’t say yes or no. He just pointed it out. “This case needs to be investigated by you.”
Yifan agreed immediately. “Of course, I will definitely do your job well. Maybe I will be promoted next year. If you have something to do, let me finish it for you this year. After I get promoted, I will not handle a small case.”
Edward said seriously, “If you succeed in this case, you can be promoted this year.”
Yi Fan did not answer. He went out to call his colleagues in his department and asked them to take a picture of a brother to file a case for Nelissa. After returning to the ward, he moved a chair and sat in front of Nelissa’s bed. Holding a pen and a notebook, he habitually asked, “Think about it carefully. Do you have any enemies who have a deep hatred for you?”
Nelissa shook her head. “No.”
Yifan asked again, “What about your parents? Have they ever had a feud with anyone?”
Nelissa’s eyes flickered, but she still shook her head. “No.”
Yi Fan didn’t expect that he couldn’t ask any more questions. He couldn’t help but say, “Think about it carefully. It’s impossible for anyone to suddenly kill you for no reason. You must have missed something. Try harder to think about it.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Nelissa really thought about it seriously. She raised her head to look at Edward’er beside her. She could say whatever he asked her to do. Obviously, it was easy to trust.
But…
She thought of the evidence of her mother’s washing of the black money. There might be a complicated net of interests in it. She did not know the depth of it, nor could she say it out loud.
She tactfully said, “My mother… might have some sworn enemies at work. But those people don’t know me, so they shouldn’t hurt me. I don’t have a father. I’m a single person. My mother is also in the hospital. She had a car accident many years ago and has been in a coma for many years. It’s impossible for her to suddenly take revenge on me after such a long time. I don’t think it has anything to do with these things.”
Yifan simply made a confession. The clues provided by Nelissa were completely zero and it was difficult to make any progress. He changed his mind and asked, “Think about it carefully. Did anything special happen to you on the day of the car accident?”
Nelissa asked, “What do you mean by special things?”
Yifan told her, “Yes, we don’t often encounter it, but you encountered it before the accident on that day, and it happened.”
“Let me think about it.” Nelissa really had no idea. It was difficult to find a “special” thing in an ordinary day.
Edward was extremely smart. He took a way to reconstruct himself and chatted with Nelissa. “From you went out to the hospital yesterday, you told me what you did or heard or saw during the whole process.”
Nelissa thought it was a good idea, so she explained slowly, “Yesterday morning, you sent Noelle to school for Nathan. After I woke up, I went downstairs to have breakfast made by Eliza. She cooked me sweet soup. I was very full, so I took a break at home before I changed my clothes and went out. After going out… yes, someone asked me to go.”
Edward suddenly raised his eyebrows. “Where are you going? Men and women? Do you still remember their faces?”
Nelissa thought for a while and said, “A middle-aged woman with a slim figure. She wore a pair of sunglasses, so I couldn’t see her whole face. She asked me how to get to Area B in the villa area, and I gave her a road plate to have a look. Then I left, took a bus to the hospital, and stayed with my mother until noon.”
