Chapter 416: The Video from Four Days Ago Just as the two of them were about to step out of the ward, a flustered nurse ran past them in a hurry. Without checking, she bumped into Cheyenne's arm, causing her to let out a pained groan and losing control of her body as she stumbled towards the nearby wall.
Fortunately, Kelvin's quick eyes and reflexes allowed him to catch her by the waist, preventing her from intimate contact with the wall. His deep-set eyes stared at the nurse, revealing a hint of anger and an intimidating presence. "Don't you know running is prohibited in the hospital?" "Sorry, I'm so sorry!" The young nurse apologized repeatedly, bowing to them in haste.
"It's alright, just be more careful next time," Cheyenne chuckled lightly. However, as she turned around, a glimpse of something in the nurse's hand caught her attention, causing her to freeze in her tracks. "What's wrong?" Kelvin asked curiously.
Stopping the nurse in her tracks, Cheyenne intercepted her path and asked, “Excuse me, where did you get that medicine bottle in your hand?" If she wasn't mistaken, this should be the thing she gave to Eddie. How could it be in this woman's hand? The nurse clearly appeared guilty, beads of sweat forming on her forehead as she stuttered, unable to utter a word. Having spent years in the business world, Kelvin immediately noticed something was amiss and sternly threatened her, "If you don't speak up now, I'll report this to your superiors." Upon hearing this, the woman quickly confessed. She was merely an intern, and if any mistake occurred during her internship, she wouldn't be able to secure a permanent position. After sconsideration, she decided to reveal the truth.
As it turned out, Jase had asked her to steal the bottle from Eddie's lab. Now that Jase was dead, she was terrified. Thus, she had intended to bury the bottle somewhere, but she coincidentally ran into Cheyenne.
Both Kelvin and Cheyenne inquired about the last tthe nurse saw Jase and the location. Soon enough, they found a new lead. Based on the nurse's response, she had seen Jase at the hospital four days ago.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKelvin retrieved the surveillance footage from that day, and a video segment captured Jase having a conversation with someone in the office adjacent to Eddie's. Shortly after the nurse left, he too left within a few minutes.
To Cheyenne and Kelvin's astonishment, the person who walked out of the neighboring ward turned out to be Vincent. Four to five minutes after he left, Abbie walked out from the sroom. Cheyenne quickly estimated the tand realized they had spent approximately twenty minutes inside the room. What could they have been doing in there? Almost instinctively, she looked up at Kelvin, her eyes filled with a gloating expression that was hard to miss. However, Kelvin remained silent, his face cold and expressionless. He pretended to be calm.
She couldn't help but chuckle and reached out to pat his shoulder, speaking sympathetically, "It seems you've been cuckolded, haven't you?" Kelvin's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Cheyenne with utmost seriousness, emphasizing once again, "I only treated her as a sister, and after discovering that she was the one responsible for killing our child, I've cut ties with her." Cheyenne didn't seem to pay attention.
She shook off his hand and started to walk away. But just as she took a step forward, a voice suddenly sounded from behind, Kelvin's voice.
He said, "Cheyenne, cback. I will protect you." Upon hearing this, the woman glanced back, seemingly smiling, her gaze icy cold. "No need to trouble you. I can take care of myself. You should go and protect your Miss Berry." 'This time, I want to see how you plan to protect her!' she thought.
Kelvin felt a dull pain. He didn't want to protect Abbie anymore. The reason he didn't release the video was that he felt there were still many mysteries, such as why Vincent appeared there.
As soon as Cheyenne left, Kelvin followed Chris, his assistant, to the hospital entrance. A red Bentley slowly approached from across the street, stopping right in front of them. Stepping out of the car was Abbie, with a slim and radiant figure, holding a black dog in her arms. The dog looked dirty and skinny, with its head drooping. When Abbie saw Kelvin, she smiled and walked lightly towards him. "Kelvin, why did you cto the hospital?" her voice trembled slightly.
Kelvin completely ignored her, treating her as if she was air. Abbie's face paled, and her voice trembled as she asked, "Kelvin, don't you want to see me?" He turned to Chris coldly and said, "I'll wait here for you, go and bring the car." Chris glanced at Abbie cautiously and quickly left. Abbie was about to say something when she noticed Cheyenne and Eddie coming out of the hospital entrance, chatting and laughing. Kelvin's gaze remained fixed on them until they disappeared from sight. Only then did he slowly avert his eyes.
Abbie immediately cup with a plan, and her voice sounded gentle as she spoke next to his ear, using the sold tricks. "I never expected Miss Lawrence to find another date. Impressive, Mr. Zamora is truly a talented young man. It seems that beautiful people like her always have suitors." Before she could finish her sentence, Kelvin glared at her coldly and interjected, "Cheyenne and Eddie are just friends." Hearing Kelvin defend Cheyenne like that, Abbie felt a sense of surprise. "Kelvin, are you angry?" she asked. Absurdly, he was actually getting angry with her because of Cheyenne.
"Kelvin, I didn't mean it that way. I was just saying that Miss Lawrence is beautiful, so she's popular. I didn't mean anything else." She thought her old tricks could still deceive Kelvin.
But at this moment, Kelvin realized how foolish he had been before to be swayed by her words and develop a dislike for Cheyenne. But not anymore.
He counterattacked without hesitation, "What does it have to do with you? If you know you're not attractive, you should focus on studying and improving yourself!" As his words fell, Chris brought the car and honked the horn as a reminder. Without saying a word, Kelvin got into the car and left. He didn't even glance at Abbie from start to finish. Abbie truly felt that he had changed. He seemed distant...
So cold.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAbbie was devastated by Kelvin's attack on her appearance, which was the second the had insulted her. The first twas when she first arrived at the Foley mansion, where he said she looked plain and unremarkable.
Her average appearance had always been a sore spot for Abbie. In reality, she had wanted to undergo plastic surgery, but her self-esteem didn't allow her to do such a thing.
Angry and frustrated, she accidentally scratched the dog's fur with her sharp nails, causing it to yelp in pain and instinctively bite her hand back.
"Ah!" Abbie cried out. Fuming with anger, she grabbed the dog's ears and threw it into the air with force! The black little dog crashed into a utility pole. Then, with her high-heeled shoe, she kicked the dog, listening to its pitiful cries. It strangely brought her satisfaction.
The dog, with its wet and pitiful eyes, looked at her, trying to seek forgiveness from its owner Bytm instead, she sneered and yelled, "Even a beast dares to bite me? Don't forget who provides you with food." "Both you and him are ungrateful beasts! If I don't teach you a lesson, you will forget who your owner is." With that, she looked around and used the dog leash to tie the dog to the utility pole at the entrance of an alley. The extra length of the leash was tightened around the dog's neck, restricting its movement to a small area.
The surroundings were the hospital's inpatient department, and it seemed like there was no one around. If she didn't cback, the dog would either starve or die of thirst here.
However, Abbie had no intention of taking this black and ugly dog back with her. If Kelvin didn't care about her anymore, would he care about the dog? After completing all this, she waved her hand dismissively and left gracefully, leaving behind only the desperate barking of the dog.
No one answered.
