My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols

Chapter 22 Make A Deal

“I’ve heard a lot in the past two days. The company was out of your control during the four months

when you were in a coma. If you want to subdue the company, you will certainly offend many people,

including someone like Jeff.”

Hulda was flustered by his coldness, and her voice trembled as she continued, “I know you’re very

powerful, but it’s hard to avoid a trap. Even if you have protected her once, it doesn’t mean that

everything is safe now. You don’t want to see Cynthia being kidnapped again, do you? She’s safe this

time, but what about next time?”

Alston frowned and looked at her thoughtfully. He snorted coldly, “Interesting. Go on.”

Hulda swallowed, covered the crazy jealousy in her eyes, and clenched her fingers tightly. “I don’t want

any compensation. I want to make a deal with you.”

“Because you saved me from the kidnapper, outsiders will definitely think I’m the person you love. I can

be Cynthia’s shield and attract the attention of those people so that she will be safe.”

After saying this, she looked nervously at Alston. “What do you think?”

“The solution is a good one, but it will do you no good,” Alston glanced at her with sharp eyes. “What

are your conditions?”

“I want to be your wife!”

Hulda wanted to say this very much, but she knew Alston would disagree. He would never keep her

around if she determined to be his wife.

“After the job is done, give me thirty million!” Hulda said.

This requirement was a bit out of his expectation. Alston thought deeply for a moment, and his heart

sank when he thought about Cynthia lying on the bed unconsciously.

He didn’t want to experience this ever again. These two days were the most anxious days of his life.

“Okay, I agree.”

“Cynthia, I’ve only been gone for a month. Why did you get married?”

Helen looked at Cynthia in disbelief. She went out to attend a conference for a month on behalf of

the hospital. As soon as she got back, she heard from the nurse that Cynthia had been in a coma for

two days and had just woken up.

She didn’t have time to change her clothes and rushed directly into the ward.

As soon as Helen entered, Cynthia held her and cried out loud. She cried so desperately that even

Helen was frightened.

Helen had known Cynthia for so many years and had never seen her cry so sadly.

Finally, Cynthia stopped crying, and Helen learned about the situation. It turned out that her best friend

got married a month ago, and she was kidnapped because of the b*stard she married.

“Cynthia, what will you do now?” Helen looked solemn.

Alston had just walked to the door when he heard voices inside, and he looked at Greg

“Mrs. Smith’s friend is inside.” Greg replied.

Alston nodded and leaned against the wall at the door. He was exhausted and wanted to smoke a

cigarette, but he remembered that he was in a hospital now and frowned impatiently.

The hospital was too quiet, and he heard the conversation between the two girls clearly.

“I don’t know what to do. I’m in a mess now.” Cynthia tugged at the quilt corner again and again, and

the truth she had learned weighed on her mind like a mountain, making her breathless.

“Do you want to continue this marriage?” Helen asked.

Alston listened to them while nervously clenching his palm.

“I’m not the person Alston loves. In the past month, he has been very kind to me. Now that I think about

it, he might be looking at another woman through me. He only regards me as a replacement, and he

will abandon me immediately as soon as the woman he loves returns.”

Cynthia felt disgusting when thinking about Alston loving her, kissing her, and sleeping with her while

thinking about another woman.

This marriage had always been a mistake, and now the person he loved had returned. Instead of being

abandoned by him, it was better to leave on her own. At least she could still have her

self-esteem.

Alston felt upset when he heard Cynthia’s words. He wanted to tell her all the truth, but when he

thought of Hulda’s plan, he abruptly endured it.

He took a deep breath and told Greg, “You let someone take good care of her and tell me as soon as

she needs anything.”

Then, he was about to leave.

Greg was silent. He already knew Alston’s plan, and now he had to cooperate. But he felt very sorry for

Cynthia when he looked at her.

Everything would be fine as long as Alston was able to solve every problem. Greg was confident that

this day would come very soon.

Helen listened to her frustrating words and tried to cheer her up. “What are you talking about? Are

you letting them go that easily? You will give up everything if you ask for a divorce yourself!”

“Then what can I do!” Cynthia cried in grievances. “I have loved him for so many years, and he has

become a part of my life, my own flesh and blood! It will be easier for me to suicide than ask for a

divorce!”

Helen was so distressed to see her like this, and she gently wiped away her tears. “Then don’t get

divorced!”

Cynthia froze for a moment and looked at her with a glassy stare.

Helen looked at her with a stern look in her eyes. “The first love is nothing. It was all many years ago.

After such a long time, the strong feelings must have faded. You have to remember that you are the

one and only Mrs. Smith. If you can’t let go of Alston, then at least keep this fact in your mind.”

Helen gently touched Cynthia’s hair. “The Cynthia I know has never been a weak and shrinking person.

If you two really have to divorce, you should be the one to ask for it instead of running away in despair.”

Cynthia compressed her lips, and her eyes were more determined.

She reached out and hugged Helen’s waist and buried her head in Helen’s arms. Her voice was weak

and stuffy. “I will fix myself. I’ll let him go if he really doesn’t love me and only wants Hulda to be his

wife.”

However, everything took time. Helen was right. After a long time, all the strong feelings must have

faded.
