Ch. 35: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 35

Chapter 35Norah and Kevin were married, so Kian knew he should show more respect and not act as he did before.

Norah asked knowingly, "Has Kevin gone in?"

"Mr. Edwards just went in a little while ago," Kian replied, hesitating.

Norah glanced at the reporters at the entrance, confirming that they were both thinking the same thing.

Kevin always stepped forward without hesitation when it came to Bianca, never worrying about what others might think.

Kian, concerned she might misinterpret the situation, quickly explained, "Mrs. Edwards, please don't misunderstand Mr. Edwards. He came to the hospital for work."

Norah smiled at Kian and said, "I didn't misunderstand. You don't need to explain."

Kian felt relieved. "That's good."

With reporters at the main entrance, Norah decided to maintain her privacy and entered the hospital through the back door.

She took the elevator upstairs and saw Cleo, Bianca's assistant, which gave her a clue about which ward Bianca was in.

Bianca was staying in a VIP room, which was relatively quiet. As Norah approached, she could hear Bianca sobbing: "Why did you save me? You should have let me die. What am I now? What have I become?"

"Stop it, Bianca."

Hearing Kevin's voice, Norah's heart skipped a beat.

Bianca continued, "Why are you here now? When I needed you, you were never there. You weren't like this before. You used to love me the most. Whenever I was sad, you would be by my side. You've changed. What's the point of me living?"

Bianca's tears flowed, and her face looked pale and worn, as if she had lost a lot of weight.

Seeing this, Kevin frowned and stepped closer, and Bianca immediately fell into his arms.

Norah didn't want to confront the situation, but her feet moved on their own, drawing her closer.

Kevin took a tissue to wipe Bianca's tears. Bianca kept crying in his arms, her hands still attached to IV needles. She truly looked miserable.

Norah's eyes filled with sadness as she watched.

"Kevin, please don't leave me, okay? Without you, I'll die. I've already died once; do you want me to die again?" Bianca cried, clutching his waist tightly.

"I'll stay with you," Kevin said in a cold tone, gently patting Bianca's back.

In the morning, Kevin had left the house wearing the coat Norah had bought him. Now he wasn’t wearing it, perhaps to avoid upsetting Bianca.

As she watched them embrace, Norah clenched her fists, suppressing the bitterness in her heart.

Just a moment ago, Kevin had been caring and tender with her. Now, he was even more attentive to another woman.

Was it guilt that made him treat her better?

He always reserved his deepest tenderness for Bianca.

At that moment, Bianca weakly asked, "Kevin, if I hadn’t gone abroad and left you, would you have married me?"

This question struck a chord in Norah's heart as well.

If Bianca hadn’t left, would Kevin have married her?

Kevin pulled Bianca's hand away, frowning, and said, "Don't ask about the past."

Bianca shed more tears, deeply hurt. "Why won't you tell me? If I had stayed by your side, I would be the one standing next to you now, right? But I've suffered so much all these years. Do you know why I went abroad? I went abroad because…"

"Norah, what are you doing here? Are you here to see how miserable I am?"

While Norah was lost in thought, Cleo approached and saw her standing at the door without entering, so she called out loudly.

Cleo's words startled the two people inside.

Kevin looked over and saw Norah standing at the door, and immediately let go of Bianca.

Norah felt caught off guard and hurriedly lowered her head, walking away.

Seeing her leave, Kevin quickly chased after her, calling out, "Norah!"

Norah walked quickly, not knowing how to face Kevin. But Kevin caught up to her and grabbed her hand.

Norah turned around, her eyes red, and looked at Kevin with a blank expression.

Kevin reached out to wipe her tears, but Norah turned her head away, saying, "Go take care of Bianca. Don't worry about me."

"Why are you at the hospital?" Kevin didn't answer her but asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Is the rash on your body getting worse?"

He tried to roll up her sleeves to check her arm.

Norah felt even sadder and pulled her hand back, refusing to let him see it.

"I'm fine," Norah said, glancing toward the ward. "The important thing you mentioned yesterday was Bianca, right?"

To Kevin, Bianca always came first. Whenever she had a problem, he would rush to her side without hesitation.

"Bianca’s vocal cords were damaged, and her left ear is deaf. If she doesn’t recover, her career will be over." Kevin’s expression remained tense.

It turned out Bianca had gone through such a tough experience.

The end of Bianca’s career would be a devastating blow. No wonder she had thought of suicide.

Norah lowered her eyes, unable to feel any joy. She simply said, "I understand."

Bianca also came after them, standing at the door with Cleo holding her IV bottle. She looked at Kevin with deep affection and called out, "Kevin."

Kevin turned around and said to Norah, "I’ll come home after I finish this. Wait for me at home, okay?"

After that, Kevin walked back to Bianca. Norah could only wait for him at home, as she had done for so many days, yet nothing changed. She watched him go, feeling helpless.

What could she do? Create a scene to win back her husband’s heart, or start a fight with Bianca? Neither would help.

Bianca was still crying softly. "Kevin, why did Norah come here? Did she misunderstand us, or did I keep you from being with her?"

"Don’t overthink it," Kevin replied coldly. "Focus on taking care of yourself and stop doing anything foolish. I’ll find the best doctor to treat you, and your career won’t be over!"

Bianca, feeling insecure, needed reassurance. Seeing Kevin step away, she held his hand tightly and asked, "Will you and Norah get divorced when I get better?"

Kevin's expression turned icy, and he pulled his hand away. "Bianca, that’s not a question you should be asking."

"You know I still love you," Bianca said tearfully, her voice trembling with emotion. "All I want is you. I can lose everything else, but I can't lose you. If I hadn’t been sick and gone abroad, I would be the one who married you, not Norah! You still care about me; how could you forget me?"

"Bianca!" Kevin interrupted her sharply. Seeing her cry, his sympathy faded, and he said coldly, "When you recover, we’ll be even."
