Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

“That makes sense.”

Denise’s voice was a little lower than before, “You’re sensible enough to be an excellent businessman, but not a qualified lover.”

James agreed with her. His fingers looked extremely beautiful on the black steeling wheel in the moonlight.

The car was in silence.

After a while, Denise turn her head to talk James.

“You sent Angela to prison after breaking her leg, and even let her break up with her family.

No matter how angry you are, it’s time to let it go for what she have suffered in the past two years.”

James looked ahead. He gripped the steering wheel, his fingertips got a little pale for the force.

Denise waited for his reply for a while. Then she sat upright and looked ahead. In the night, her sighs was vaguely tinged with a bit of helplessness.

In the ward, not long after James and Denise had left, Danis returned.

Angela lay on the bed and looked at him indifferently. Then, she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, not wanting to talk to him.

“Does it still… hurt?”

Danis walked to the bedside and looked at her pale face. His heart was aching out of control.

Angela opened her eyes, looked at him with no emotion, ”Thank you for your care, Mr. Danis. I can hold it. It doesn’t hurt as much as two years ago, when my leg was broken.

If there is nothing else, please go. It would be hard to explain if Adeline breaks in and misunderstands that I am seducing you.”

She treated him like a stranger, with even more malice and disgust.

Danis frowned, “No one else is here, you don’t have to call me Mr. Danis.”

Angela sneered and ignored him.

“I apologize for what Jessica have done to you, and the way my mom treated you.”

The red mark on her forehead and the scar at the end of her eyebrow stung Danis. He reached out his hand to touch her face naturally.

Angela tilted her head to avoided his touch. She felt quite sick at the thought of him to be engaged to Cathleen but caring for her here.

A glimmer of gloom flashed in Danis’s eyes. He withdrew his hand and clenched his fists. Then, there was more coldness on his face. “But Jessica didn’t meant to hurt you, and she had apologized to you. You shouldn’t have egged on Greyson to splash Jessica with hot tea!”

“Shouldn’t?”

Angela was exasperated. With her hands propped on the bed, she sat up with effort, “You seems to enjoy standing in a moral highland to tell me what to do all the time.”

She looked up at him and said, word by word.

“But who do you think you are to teach me how be a dignified person?”

“Angela.”

Danis called her name, gritting his teeth.

Sitting on her knees on the bed, Angela straightened her spine and got closer to him, “Just because you are older than me?

Or having a higher educational degree?”

Greeted with the faint soap scent from Angela’s body, Danis’s heart beat faster and faster.

“I thought you’d learned your lesson in the past two years, but it turns out that you’re just as insane as before!”

He said coldly, then turned his head and walked away.

Angela said, “Hold on.”

“What?”

Danis stopped, but didn’t turn back.

The needle inserted into the back of her hand fell out because of her movement. Blood came out from the needle hole, staining the two medical tapes on the back of her hand.

She put the needle aside and sat back with difficulty, “Since Mr. Danis despises me so much, we’d better not meet in private from now on.

I don’t want be a mistress, or a whore, as others may refer to, because of a nasty self-centered person.”

Danis turned to look at her, “You are too much!”

“I don’t feel good. Please leave now.”

Angela said indifferently.

And Danis replied her with a slammed door.

Angela sneered and lay back down on her bed, staring at the ceiling. Even she herself didn’t know what she was thinking.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

After a while, the doctor came over to change her medicine. Seeing the back of her hand highly swollen and the needle being thrown aside casually, the doctor was pissed off and his eyebrows raised up, “I’ve never seen a more troublesome patient like you!”

He said a bunch of other words, but Angela didn’t listen to any of them except for his first comment.

She knew that the doctor was for her own good, but she didn’t care about the so-called precautions at all. Perhaps because she want to die in most time… At least she didn’t have to suffer so much if she was dead.

The doctor still concerned about her after changing the medicine, so he ordered a nurse to supervise her.

The nurse could knock off in about twenty minutes, but Angela’s infusion would took at least one and a half hour, so she was quite upset now.

“I’ll pull out the needle myself when it is over. You can get off on time.”

Angela said.

Reassured with Angela, the nurse got off work cheerfully on time.

It was already 11:30 p. m. when the infusion was finished. Angela stared at the infusion tube.

Once some air got in, she would die. She may be painful for a while, but it’s nothing because she wouldn’t suffer any more if she was dead.

The bubble of air flow down slowly, but when it was about to reach the back of her hand, she pulled out the needle.

If she had died, the innocent nurse would take the responsibility. She may hang on one more time… though she didn’t know how long she could hang on this time.

The next day, Julia visited Angela at noon, bringing pork rib soup and a tightly wrapped gift box.

“You are quite busy in your work. Actually, you don’t have to visit me.”

“Well, I am not that busy. My new superior was a nice guy. When I said that I was coming to see you, he immediately agreed.”

Putting her presents down, Julia looked around the ward. There was neither James nor Jessica and Danis. Even Greyson and Luna were not present. She was slightly disappointed.

Angela pursed her lips, “It’s okay if you go back now.”

“I just arrived. At least let me rest for a while?”

Julia served her a bowl of pork rib soup, “Have some soup. It’s good for your health.”

Staring at the nutritious soup and the green winter melon inside, Angela said softly,

“My brother and sister-in-law just got into a big trouble because of me. My parents will keep a close eye at them these days, not giving them any chance to visit me.”

She paused for a moment, “As for Mr. James, Miss Jessica and Mr. Danis, they always hate me. It is impossible for them to visit me in the hospital.

Even if they come, they just came to taunt me. You, as my colleague, won’t get any benefit but being affected because of me.”

“It’s okay if you go back now.” Angela said again.

“Your family have broken with you and I am the only one you may count as a friend in the clubhouse. If I leave now, you’ll be really isolated.”

Julia pushed the soup toward Angela.

But Angela didn’t take it.

“Sometimes, you are just too obstinate.”

Julia hold the bowl and took a gulp, “No relationship is 100 percent loyal. No matter it is between relatives, lovers, or friends.”

She picked up a rib from the soup with chopsticks and passed it to Angela.

Angela frowned but took it and nibbled.

“I’ve never told you my story, right?”

Not waiting for her to answer, Julia said.

“I’ll save my family’s dirty laundry, which is totally a mess.”

She laughed to herself, then picked up a piece of rib out of the soup and nibbled, “My boyfriend knew I had slept with several other guys. He was pissed off, but he pretended that he knew nothing about it.”
