Ch. 105: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 105

Chapter 105

"How could I not be worried? You're in the hospital!" Bianca said, her eyes filling with tears. "You scared me the last time this happened. I can't bear to see you lying here again—it keeps me up at night. Filming is nothing compared to you. I'd rather give it up and stay by your side."

Kevin suddenly remembered a time when he had been gravely injured—an injury that almost cost him his life. Bianca had been the one who saved him.

"There won't be another incident like that," he said firmly.

Still anxious, Bianca looked at him with tear-filled eyes. "You promised me before that you'd never let yourself get hurt again if it meant seeing me sad. Please, don't punish me by risking your life."

That moment brought back memories of the time when Kevin had narrowly escaped death. Bianca had watched over him for seven days and nights without much sleep. Since then, even the smallest injury made her worry deeply, afraid he would fall unconscious again. That's why, the moment she heard he was hurt, she rushed back from the film set.

She couldn't bear the thought of losing him again. She also wanted Kevin to understand that no matter what happened between them, her feelings for him had never changed. She hoped he remembered that his life was intertwined with hers.

Kevin knew Bianca's devotion to him. Her kindness was something he couldn't ignore. He felt a responsibility to give her a reason to believe in life again after everything she'd lost.

"I understand," he replied.

Outside the room, Norah stood with the food she had bought for Kevin. She'd heard from Kian that Kevin wasn't eating well, and his strength was fading. Worried about his health, she went out to get him something light to eat, knowing his preferences well.

But as she reached the door, she overheard the conversation between Kevin and Bianca. Their bond seemed deeper than she had imagined.

Norah had been with Kevin for seven years, but Bianca knew him longer and more intimately. There were memories between them that Norah could only guess at—Kevin had never shared those parts of his life with her. Listening to their conversation, Norah realized they had been through life-and-death situations together.

A pang of discomfort hit her. She, too, had shared life-and-death moments with Kevin, yet he seemed to remember only Bianca. Watching through the crack in the door, Norah noticed the tenderness in Kevin's eyes when Bianca cried. He was still moved by her tears.

Feeling a wave of frustration, Norah unclenched her fists and forced herself to remain composed. Quietly, she placed the food she brought on the table and left without making a scene.

Meanwhile, inside the room, Bianca wiped her tears and asked, "Can you at least tell me how you got hurt?"

Kevin remained silent, not answering her question.

Cleo, the assistant, spoke up, "Ms. Lynch, you’ve been worried sick about Mr. Edwards, and you even got hurt yourself rushing to see him."

Bianca quickly interrupted, "Cleo, that's enough." Then she turned to Kevin and said, "It's nothing, really."

Kevin noticed her swollen ankle and called for Kian. "Take her to see a doctor," he ordered.

"I don't need a doctor," Bianca insisted. "I can manage with some lotion. I’m used to getting hurt on set. Kian, just buy me some medicine."

Kevin nodded, agreeing to her request. "Fine, Kian, go get the medicine."

Kian left, and Bianca turned her attention back to Kevin. She missed him deeply despite her efforts to focus on her career. Although she was upset that he often prioritized Norah, she found comfort in knowing that Kevin still held some affection for her.

Peeling an apple for Kevin, she said softly, "You didn’t tell me you were hurt. If it wasn’t for my aunt, I wouldn’t have known."

Kevin didn’t respond, his eyes fixed on his phone as if waiting for something.

"Are you hurt because of Norah?" Bianca continued, her voice tinged with bitterness. "You got yourself into this state to save her, and yet she’s not here to take care of you."

"She went out to get me food," Kevin said, almost defending Norah.

Bianca's dissatisfaction showed. "Food from outside isn’t always clean. It would be better to get something homemade. I can bring it for you."

"No need to trouble yourself," Kevin replied, his tone indifferent.

Moments later, Kian returned, carrying both the medicine and the food Norah had left at the door.

"Mr. Edwards, Secretary White left this food for you," Kian said.

Kevin’s frown deepened as he looked at the bag, realizing Norah had already left. His mood soured further at the thought of her leaving so quickly.

"Mr. Edwards, the food is still hot. Do you want to eat?" Kian asked.

"No, I don't have an appetite," Kevin said curtly, tossing his phone aside.

Bianca added, "If he’s not hungry, we’ll bring something from home. It’ll be cleaner and more nutritious."

She placed the peeled apple on the table. Seeing that Kevin wasn't in the mood to talk, she decided not to press further. "I'll step out for now," she said. "Kian, hand me the food."

Bianca went downstairs with the bag in her hands, glancing around as if looking for someone. Sure enough, she spotted Norah about to leave.

She called out, "Norah!"

Norah, who was just getting into her car, looked up and saw Bianca standing behind her.
