Endless Adoration

Chapter 30 The Truth Of That Year

"I can see that Alice Gu is very happy when she is with Harrison Bai. Alice even told her that she would

marry Harrison one day and give birth to a lovely baby for him. "

Speaking of this, Sherri Leng turned to look at Elliot Mo and said, "Elliot, at that time, I thought that

Alice was really crazy. She wanted to marry herself to someone at such a young age."

"It's always too late to marry the right person." Says Elliot to Sherri with a laugh.

"Of course not! We haven't even graduated from college at that time! "

"Well, It's too late for me to marry you now." Elliot said in a low and hoarse voice.

All of a sudden, Sherri blushed and felt very embarrassed. She picked up the warm water beside the

table and took a big gulp. Pretending not to hear what he had just said, she continued, "but then, Alice

started coughing for no reason, and she coughed till night. We asked her and she said it was just

because she was allergic to dust.

We were so stupid that we believed her excuse. It was not until I found out that Alice had blood on her

handkerchief that she told me that she had been diagnosed with lung cancer.

I thought I heard it wrong, but when I saw the physical examination report, which was written in black

and white, with the signature of the doctor and the hospital's stamp on it, I had to believe it, Elliot. After

that, I thought it's necessary to tell Harrison. After all, they are lovers, and he had the right to know

about Alice's condition. "

"Sherri," Elliot interrupted her, "let's not have anything hidden behind us in the future, okay?"

"Okay."

Memories flooded into her mind. Sherri just wanted to finish the story and perfunctorily promised Elliot

to continue to recall.

"During that time, I was with Alice. Although I didn't do anything, but I know clearly that she needed

companionship the most.

We had lied to Harrison saying that It's just a minor illness, and Alice can't keep in touch with him for a

long time.

He often comes to me asking about Alice's illness. There was nothing I can do between them, I couldn't

talk to him, and I can't say too much. But I didn't expect that he misunderstood me in the end. "

Speaking of this, Elliot noticed the bitter expression on Sherri's face.

Elliot reached out his hand and touched Sherri's hair.

The warmth of Elliot's palm passed directly into Sherri's heart through her hair. After calming herself

down, she continued, "later, Alice committed suicide."

"Alice took the medicine to commit suicide. In order to protect her, I can only say that I made a mistake

by accident which had led to her death.

At that time, there was really no way to cure Alice's disease. It can only be delayed, and she lived a

painfully every day.

Her parents of the Gu family knew my difficulties and didn't blame me, but I couldn't let Harrison know

that Alice was so painful at the end. He didn't know these, he thought that it was me that had caused

the death of Alice, and he seemed unnatural when facing me starting from then. "

"I understand Harrison. After all, I always know the relationship between him and Alice.

On the one hand, he hates me very much. He blames me for not taking good care of Alice and killing

her by accident; on the other hand, he is tolerating me as well, because the death of Alice had also

been a big blow to me. At that time, I also blamed myself for not taking good care of her and missing

out her feelings, not to mention that her parents didn't say anything to me.

At that time, Harrison wished that he could sue me for murder by accident as he was the best student

in the law department. "

When Sherri said this, she smiled helplessly.

It was a little difficult for Sherri to continue. Holding her hand, Elliot said "don't worry, Sherri."

"Elliot, I still remember how Harrison asked me to give him Alice back, who should have been alive,

with his red eyes.

He kept asking me why I made such a stupid mistake. He said that I didn't deserve to be Alice's best

friend.

I think Harrison must have been crazy at that time. I was afraid that he will follow after Alice and do

something stupid so I cooperated with him and kept apologizing. "

"You didn't betray anyone." Elliot stroked her hair lovingly.

"That's it. That's the whole story." Because of the death of Alice, Harrison began to hate me very much,

but I still can't believe that he is somehow involved in this matter. If that's the case, then there is really

no mercy between us. "

Leaning her head against his broad and strong shoulder, Sherri finally spoke out the secret that had

been suppressed in her heart for many years.

"My parents were killed, my family business fell into someone else's hands, and my ex-boyfriend

betrayed me. Harrison, who was like a brother to me, had also helped my enemy. Except for Alina, I

have no other relatives. I'm afraid that I have no one to rely and trust on now in this world."

Sherri closed her eyes helplessly.

"You still have me." Seeing how sad Sherri is, Elliot felt a little regretful to come to ask her about it. If he

had known it earlier, he would have investigated it himself.

"Don't you remember that you are my wife now? How can you have no relatives?"

Looking up at the man who had helped her and comforted her and who she relied on again and again,

she said, "thank you."

"Sherri, don't you have anything else to say except thank you?" Elliot let out a long sigh, with a look of

disappointment.

Looking at the confused look on Sherri's face, he smiled helplessly and said, "It's obvious that we are a

couple now, so there's no need to say thanks to me. I said that you should get used to the identity of

Mrs. mo."

"Then what can I say if I don't say thank you?" Sherri's voice was like a mosquito's hum, but it was still

heard by Elliot.

However, Elliot didn't intend to expose her lie. Instead, he picked up a crab meat bun and said, "come

here. We haven't finished breakfast yet."

After all, it was really lucky for Sherri to meet Elliot at this moment in time.

Elliot had already known the relationship between them from Sherri, but he didn't think it was enough.

Sherri's words were intermittent, with a strong personal sense. Elliot wanted to uncover the whole story

with every details.

It reminded Sherri of something that had already made her so painful, so Elliot didn't want to see her

being sad anymore. He planned to send someone to investigate it thoroughly. He wanted to know more

about his woman's past. He wanted to completely walk into her heart.

The truth was always shocking and people couldn't bear to look at it. Sure enough, what happened in

the past was not as simple as what Sherri had said.

Although he had spent a lot of money and manpower, he still miraculously found out the inside story of

the death of Alice in a short time!

Elliot didn't intend to keep this secret alone. Although time had passed and circumstances had

changed, and Alice couldn't come back to life, there were still some people who couldn't take

responsibility for their own actions. Moreover, his wife, Sherri, was misunderstood by someone.

Elliot decided to tell Harrison that if he couldn't accept Alice's illness, he would be too coward and be

looked down to.

Sherri had recovered and had been discharged from the hospital. The gangster had also been

sentenced to 20 years in prison. Everything was so reasonable.

As invited by Elliot, Harrison went to see him in a western style resturant. But in the private room, it was

not Elliot, but Sherri who had been well-dressed.

"Sherri, you are really something. You know I won't come out if you asked me out in your name. But in

the name of Mr. Mo, I will definitely come. You have become more and more resourceful over the

years."

The disdainful look on his face was obvious.

Sherri was also surprised, as she was also invited by Elliot.

"I think you might have made a mistake." Sherri was not annoyed at all.

"Humph! I hate it when you don't care about anything like now! Do you think I will forgive you? "

"Harrison! You are really disappointing me now. Do you hate me that much? Don't you remember the

past friendship at all between us? "

"How dare you mention our friendship with me! Have you ever thought about the relationship between

you guys when you killed Alice? "

At the mention of this taboo character, Harrison was completely irritated. He picked up the goblet on

the table with red wine and wanted to pour it on Sherri. "Hypocrite!"

"Splash!" the person who was splashed with red wine was not Sherri, but Elliot, who was protecting her

against his chest.

He was late today, but it was not too late. Just now, seeing that the red wine was about to spill on

Sherri, he reflexively held her in his arms at an astonishing speed and welcomed the cold red wine with

his back.

"It was me who invited you two here today," he said in a low voice Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"If this is a trick played by you two, I'm sorry that I can't keep you company." Harrison said

apologetically.

"Mr. Bai! Isn't justice the most important thing for you to learn from the law? What if you have an ulterior

motive? "

"If you want to talk about professional ethics with me, why do you have to do it today?"

"Yes, why today?" Elliot let Sherri wiped off the wine stains on his back at a panic, he thought she was

so cute.

"Of course I don't want to talk about these professional ethics to you today, but your girlfriend, Alice!"

"Elliot?" Sherri stopped what she was doing and looked at him in disbelief.

Elliot grabbed Sherri's hand with his backhand and felt her body trembling slightly.

"Why did you feel wronged for so many years? I can't stand it. "

Yes, he couldn't stand it!

How could he watch his wife being misunderstood for no reason.

Elliot threw a folder to her and said, "Sherri didn't prepare the medicine at all! Alice also didn't commit

suicide. "

The first sentence was said to Harrison, and the last sentence was said to Sherri.

"It's true that Alice died of taking the wrong medicine, and there is indeed someone who made the

wrong medicine. But it wasn't Alice herself, it was Melissa Leng?"

"That's impossible. Sherri admitted it herself!"

Harrison couldn't believe that the truth he had trusted for five years was wrong!

"If you don't believe me, you can take a look at the information I have investigated. There are

evidences in it. You can investigate it by yourself."
