Queen Revenge

My current phone number is new, and Fiona Croix is the only one who knows my phone number and that I’m Alva Hill.

But the phone number is not Fiona Croix’s.

I pushed down the shock and weakness in my heart and said calmly on my face, “You have the wrong number.”

The other side said suspiciously, “That’s right, you know Ms. Fiona Croix, don’t you, we’re here at the People’s Hospital …”

At the sound of Fiona Croix’s name, I jerked to my feet and anxiously asked, “What happened to her?”

I was told that Fiona Croix was being resuscitated in the operating room, and that the phone number was the one that Fiona Croix had told the doctor before she went into surgery, and that I should come over as soon as possible.

“I’ll be right over.”

Hanging up the phone, I looked over at Mr. Richter’s mother, “Grandma, I have to go out for something.”

“It’s so late, let Walker drive you.”

“No need.”

How dare I let Walker Richter send, Fiona Croix’s side of what exactly the situation does not understand, I was anxious, driving immediately to the people’s hospital.

In this cold city, where Fiona Croix is netted from the Astor family, has no close friends, and her family is thousands of miles away in her hometown, I rushed to the hospital and there was no one outside the operating room.

I asked the nurse at the nurses’ station and found out that Fiona Croix was still in there being resuscitated, slashed seven or eight times, and was brought to the hospital by a man who went to the police station to make a statement.

Fiona Croix a mute, gentle nature, where would she get such a big grudge against someone.

Seven or eight cuts, that’s like killing someone.

Fiona Croix is still in surgery and I can’t ask for anything else but to wait.

I was standing in the doorway of the operating room, walking around anxiously, when suddenly a familiar voice came.

“Nurse, how is the patient I just brought in now?”

I looked over at the sound of the voice and who was standing at the nurse’s desk inquiring if not Ulysses Will.

Ulysses Will happened to look over as well, and he wasn’t surprised to see me, nodding his thanks to the nurse before moving towards me, his tone light and reassuring, “Don’t you worry, she’ll be fine.”

I was surprised, “Why are you here? Did you bring Fiona to the hospital?”

“Yes.” He nodded.

“What the hell is going on and who hurt her.”

Ulysses Will shakes his head, “Didn’t see it coming.”

He told me briefly that he had gone to look for Fiona Croix and happened to come across someone who had injured Fiona Croix in the hallway, which was dimly lit, and that the murderer had seen Ulysses Will running away in a panic.

Fiona Croix was brought in covered in blood.

I had a lot of doubts I wanted to ask Ulysses Will, but Fiona Croix isn’t out of the woods yet, so I didn’t.

Ulysses Will and I waited outside the operating room for nearly six hours, during which time the doctor issued two critical care notices, before Fiona Croix was out of danger and transferred to the ICU at dawn.

I was afraid that Fiona Croix may have an emergency, I contacted her mother in her hometown, but for a while, she could not come over, and the Astor family, Fiona Croix has already left the family, there is no need to notify the Astor family.

I went to pay the fee, which was money Walker Richter had given me earlier, but it was only enough for ten days of hospitalization.

I stood guard outside the ICU as Ulysses Will bought breakfast and brought it over, “Have some, you go back and rest, I’ll keep watch.”

“No.” I had no appetite, I hadn’t slept all night, and though I felt tired, I didn’t dare rest, I was afraid of another Fiona Croix, I had to wait for her to wake up.

Ulysses Will didn’t advise either, just stayed quiet.

After meeting up with Ulysses Will, which has been an uneventful affair every time, this is the first time we’ve sat down together so calmly.

A long silence stretched across us, as if this was the best way for us to get along.

After I don’t know how long, Ulysses Will suddenly spoke up and asked me, “When are you going to leave the Richter family?”

I looked sideways at him.

After his face was destroyed, he always wore a mask, once spirited, I do not know when he has gray hair in his hair, bleak eyes can no longer be seen that year’s radiance.

I asked him back, “Why would I leave?”

He frowned slightly and his voice was dark, “Alva, what kind of person is Walker Richter, aren’t you aware of that? If you stay in THE Richter family, sooner or later you will be exposed, and then …”

“You’re concerned about me?” I tugged at the corner of my mouth, interrupting him, “What are you standing for to ask me to leave THE Richter family? To hold out for Bella Hill? You’re afraid I’m going to steal everything from her? Ulysses Will, I, Alva Hill, have lived for twenty-two years, and you’ve made me feel like a total loser, and I’m telling you, the Alva Hill of old is dead, and the Alva Hill of today is out of your league.”

“Alva,” Ulysses Will called out to me in a very heavy tone, “are you betting against me?”

“Who do you think you are?” I looked at him coldly and deliberately said, “Both are THE Hill family daughters, why should she get to live in an ivory tower and I have to humble myself for the rest of my life? Ulysses Will, to say the least, I’m really thankful to you and Bella Hill, it’s you guys who made me realize that you have to fight for what you want, Walker Richter is a million times better than you a million times better, so why can’t I just snatch him up.”

Bella Hill stole Ulysses Will and I stole her husband, which is fair enough.

“You’re crazy.” Ulysses Will unbelievably grabbed my wrist, “That’s Walker Richter, shady, I don’t know how many women are out there, where would he be true to you, listen to me, leave THE Richter family.”

How many people in this world can’t get love even if they spend their whole life in poverty? I used to believe in such things as sincerity, but nowadays I don’t expect it anymore.

“What Walker Richter does to me is my own business, not yours.” I shrugged him off, a chill rising steeply up my spine …

I detect Walker Richter’s scent almost instinctively.

The afterglow, sure enough, there was a pair of familiar feet around the corner.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I stabilized my mind and intentionally said loudly, “Ulysses Will, you don’t take a piss and look at yourself, I am admiring your paintings and treating you as a friend, but I didn’t expect you to have this kind of mind, let me tell you, I, Bella Hill, only have my husband in my heart, so please don’t harass me in the future.”

Ulysses Will had a surprised look on his face as I got up and deliberately walked in the opposite direction from Walker Richter.

The hospital was crowded, and it’s a good thing Ulysses Will didn’t catch up, or he would have been really exposed.

I went to the restroom, and when no one was there, I realized that my legs were weak, and I really didn’t know what I would be facing next if I hadn’t noticed Walker Richter’s presence in time just now.

I deliberately stayed in the restroom for a while, washing my face in cold water to clear my head, before walking out.

Ulysses Will & Walker Richter were both gone, I stayed at the hospital until late afternoon, I didn’t sleep all day and night, I couldn’t stay up any longer, I said hello to the hospital and to call me immediately if there was anything going on, and that’s when I went back to Pear orchard to rest.

I was really tired, so I came home and fell asleep.

This sleep until the middle of the night, I woke up by the urine, confused up to go to the toilet, as soon as I pushed open the door of the bathroom, I saw a scene that makes people spurt blood.
