After watching the nurse treat Edwina's wound, Ronnie said to Edwina calmly, “It's not convenient for Diane to stay in the hospital. I will send her back to the villa to settle down and come to see you later.”
Edwina did not want to stay in the hospital. No matter how many times she got an IV drip, her kidneys would never grow back and her eyes would never recover.
It would be better to go back to the villa early to pack up and prepare to leave in a few days.
Edwina said calmly, “I want to go back. I don't want to stay in the hospital.”
Ronnie thought Edwina could not leave him, so he wanted to go back with him.
He knew that since being kidnapped, Edwina felt very insecure and wanted to stay with him.
But thinking of Edwina's attitude towards Diane just before, Ronnie knew that Edwina must be depressed because she was blind. He was afraid that Edwina would vent her anger on Diane.
Ronnie touched Edwina's head and coaxed her, “Be good, I will pick you up from the hospital tomorrow morning.”
After saying that, Ronnie pulled Diane away.
Before leaving, Ronnie considerately turned off the lights in the room and wished Edwina a good night.
But what Ronnie did not know was that Edwina did not like to turn off the lights to sleep at all. She was most afraid of the dark.
The reason why Edwina turned off the lights when sleeping in the past few years was simply because she was afraid that Ronnie would not have a good sleep.
Edwina could not help but laugh at herself. For so many years, she had been accommodating Ronnie.
Edwina knew that Ronnie had his first love in his heart before.
It was just that she had never seen it before and always thought that this first love was just an excuse for Ronnie to reject her.
So, because of Ronnie's words that he wanted to get married, she gave up her beloved medical research, married Ronnie and became a housewife.
Knowing that Ronnie was picky about food, she learned how to cook a variety of dishes and cooked for him herself.
But then it seemed that all the sincere efforts made over the years are just a joke.
She never thought that Ronnie wanted to marry her as a substitute.
But the substitute was no match for the first love after all.
Edwina curled up in the quilt and did not sleep all night.
The next morning, Edwina waited for Ronnie to pick her up.
She never thought that the reporter would arrive earlier than Ronnie.
Edwina did not know the identities of these people. She could only roughly see that a lot of people rushed into the ward, which scared her.
Edwina exclaimed, “Who are you?!”
The reporters turned on their microphones and began to ask, “Ms. Anderson, we are media reporters. In the early morning, a video of you and a man making love was circulated online. Do you have any explanation for this?”
The reporter turned on the video and held the phone in front of Edwina.
Edwina could not see the content on the phone, but she could hear the familiar voice of the man on the phone.
She knew that this was the kidnapper who had assaulted her.
But the kidnapper was hired by Ronnie, so only Ronnie had the video.
How did this video get out?
Before she could think about it, the reporters started talking at once, “Ms. Anderson, Mr. Cervantes's wedding with you was the wedding of the century. Mr. Cervantes spends a fortune celebrating your birthday every year.
“Mr. Cervantes loves you so much, why did you cheat? Is it because you cannot stand the loneliness?
“Ms. Anderson, you are sick and in the hospital now. Is it because of your undisciplined lifestyle that you got sick?”
The netizens’ sharp questions pierced into Edwina's heart like a sword.
The painful scar was torn open and exposed bloody.
Edwina cried and curled up in the quilt, trying to escape.
But these reporters did not let her go. They lifted the quilt and even a few male reporters took the opportunity to touch Edwina's breasts and ass.
Edwina sat on the edge of the bed, constantly pushing away the hands of several reporters, crying and shouting, “What are you doing? Don't touch me! Go away!”
The male reporter said disdainfully, “Ms. Anderson, we did not do anything. Don't accuse us. Are you trying to be a whore and still want to pretend to be a saint?”
“That's right. Miss Anderson, why is Mr. Cervantes not by your side today? Is it because he saw the video and knew you were a slut, so he doesn't want you anymore?”
The male reporters' vicious words made Edwina feel extremely uncomfortable both physically and psychologically.
Edwina yelled, “This is a private place, get out! Get out!”
Of course, the reporters would not just leave obediently. They even went further and pointed the cameras at various suggestive parts of Edwina and took close-ups.
Edwina collapsed and screamed, “Get out!”
“What are you doing?” Ronnie's angry roar came from the door.
Seeing Ronnie coming, the reporters began to surround him and asked, “Mr. Cervantes, have you seen the video of Mrs. Cervantes and another man on the Internet?”
Ronnie frowned and asked, “What video?”
The reporter played the video. When Ronnie saw it, his face turned pale and he growled with a gloomy look in his eyes, “Who is it? Who spread it out?”
The reporter passed the microphone to Ronnie and asked, “Mr. Cervantes, what do you think about Mrs. Cervantes's affair? Can you accept that your significant other is a fickle slut?”
Ronnie kicked the reporter to the ground and said, “Get out! Get the hell out of here! If anyone dares to post the video of the interview with Edwina online, I will chop off his hand.
“Get out while I’m still patient!”
Seeing Ronnie getting angry, the reporters did not dare to say anything more and left the room angrily.
Edwina sat curled up at the head of the bed, sobbing constantly, like a wounded little white rabbit.
When Ronnie saw Edwina's look, his heart ached and he quickly stepped forward and hugged Edwina in his arms.
But Edwina pushed him away and slapped him hard.
Ronnie was a little stunned by being beaten. He thought that Edwina did not know it was him who came forward because she was blind.
Ronnie said softly, “Don't be afraid, Edwina. I'm Ronnie. I'm here. The bad guys have been driven away by me. I'm here. Don't be afraid.”
“I won't abandon you. I will always be by your side.”
Listening to Ronnie's words, Edwina could not help but sneer. The bad guys were driven away by him?
If he had not spread the video, how could these reporters come to interview her?
If he had not picked her up earlier, how could these reporters have bullied her?
Did he really like to play the hero-saving-the-beauty role?
Edwina stared at Ronnie with hatred that could not be hidden in her eyes.
