Chapter 280: Thank you so much

The sun rose as usual but it wasn’t the same morning for both Ashley and Tristan. Both received a piece of shocking news related to Alice that swept away their sleep.

"How can someone be so cruel? Her obsession with Noah would’ve caused Alice’s life " Ashley gnashed her teeth in fury while her palm clutched and unclutched from time to time.

She tried to keep her anger at the bay but as she kept thinking about the supposed to be outcome, she felt her blood boil inside her body.

Tristan wasn’t surprised by Ashley spying on Natalie. He was indeed impressed by how quickly she racked her brain and both of their suspicions turned out to be the same person, Natalie Scott.

The girl was indeed smart, but that smartness did come suddenly as she was being controlled by someone and they were yet to find that person.

"Did you inform Noah about it? " She asked. Her face was void of any emotion.

Tristan bobbed his head and said," He asked me to let him take care of this situation his way. He doesn’t want anyone of us to get involved"

Tristan had disclosed the news about Natalie being the one behind Alice’s accident to Noah. He just wanted his affirmation so he could take care of the rest but when he opposed, asking him to let him handle everything, he didn’t force.

He knew Noah was like that hunter who liked to play with his prey before attacking them. He was the second scariest person after him and his way of tackling his target was different.

Ashley’s glanced at him for some time before she bobbed her head in agreement. "Okay, but" she paused and looked back at him with firm eyes," Tell him not to go easy on her just because she is a woman. The harm she tried to cause my friend isn’t acceptable"

Ashley had no sympathy for Natalie as she didn’t deserve it. She tried to kill Alice and also murdered the man who helped her. How can someone be this evil that she didn’t care about other’s life?

Hospital Ward

Inside the VIP room Noah lay wide awake with his arm firmly wrapped around Alice. His eyes stared blankly at the wall above as he recalled Tristan’s words. His jaws clench in fury when Natalie’s face appeared in front of his eyes making him quickly shut his eyes as he let out a shaky breath.

The thought of Natalie stopping so low never crossed his mind but now that it was confirmed, he couldn’t wait to confront her. But before that, he had to find out who is the person who is secretly helping her.

While his mind was busy racking thinking about who the person could be, he felt Alice stir in her sleep.

"Hmm..." she moaned due to the pain and held her head.

Alarmed by her discomfort, Noah quickly pressed the emergency button next to her bed, and a nurse immediately rushed inside.

Watching Noah sleeping on the same bed as Alice, the nurse halted in her track.

Alice who was now awake noticed the nurse’s embarrassed face and pulled the helm of his shirt moving his attention to her.

"Get down" she slowly whispered next to his ears.

"Huh?" Noah wasn’t able to understand why she was talking so low, but then she pinched the side of his waist and he whine in pain climbing down the bed immediately.

"Stupid" scolding him she then looked at the nurse who passed them an awkward smile.

Standing next to her bed, Noah then adjusted his appearance and cleared his throat. Understanding the situation he then watched the nurse approach them and check on Alice.

"Are you hurting somewhere Miss Alice?" she asked politely and examined her.

"Yes, she is. I want you to call the doctors as fast as possible" Noah answered on Alice’s behalf, startling both of them as they looked at him in confusion.

Alice gnashed her teeth staring at Noah but quickly composed herself and moved her eyes to the nurse.

"No, I am not. It’s just a minor pain nothing else" Alice politely smiled back at the nurse.

"No, she isn’t. She whined in her sleep a while back" Noah cut after hearing her answer. He didn’t want to take any risk when it came to her. She had already suffered a lot and he didn’t want to see her in any pain.

Alice was about to speak when Noah cut it," You just call the doctor. I want him to check her wounds" this time it sounded way more serious making the nurse quickly retreat.

Once she was gone the seriousness in Noah’s aura swift back to gentleness as he stepped ahead and sat next to Alice, staring at her bandage-wrapped head.

"The doctors will come and examine you," he said and watch her roll her eyes.

"What?" he asked.

"You are worrying for nothing Noah. My head pained because I slept on the same side for too long" Alice made him understand and before he could utter a word the doctor stepped in.

Alice could only sigh as she watched Noah climb down again and let the doctor do his job.

After going through a thorough check, the doctor assured Noah that Alice was doing good and there was nothing to worry about.

Once the doctor left Alice motioned Noah to sit by her side. Following her request, Noah sat next to her and heard her say," See, I told you everything is good with me. You worry too much Noah" she said with her lips curling into a smile but it soon dropped when she did hear him back.

Looking down at their hands Noah stayed quiet for some time and then turned to face her. His remorseful eyes bored into her for a while and he opened his mouth to speak," I can’t lose you, Alice. The feeling itself is scary" his voice cracked as he conveyed his deepest fear of losing her.

Alice pursed her lips and reached her hand to cup his cheeks, brushing his face gently using her thumb," I promised I won’t leave you and I mean it"

She wanted to let him know that nothing was ever going to happen anything to her. She had already touched death and returned back and now she doesn’t wish to go through the same moment.

Pursing his lip into a thin line, Noah bobbed his head in agreement and kissed her palm before clasping their hand together.

"And I promise to protect you with all my life" Alice opened her mouth to say something but he stopped her from saying a word by placing his palm on her mouth and shook his head," Let me speak," his earnest eyes asked her to let him finish and she assured him with her eyes.

"I know, you will say it’s not my fault but still if I had been a little more alert about our surroundings, I would’ve stopped the accident from taking place. If I even had the slightest clue that someone was following us, I would’ve captive that person immediately" taking a pause Noah took a deep breath before he looked back into her eyes.

"The person who is after you is none other than Natalie. She planned to kill you" his sudden confession made Alice widen her eyes in shock.

"Natalie" she whispered in disbelief but then everything started to make sense to her and she immediately cursed.

"Damn... she came to learn about our wedding which was why she took such a big step of erasing me out of your life, just so she could have you" Noah bobbed his head ashamed. He was the reason why Natalie targeted Alice. He should’ve seen this coming but he was too lazy to even consider that woman this wicked.

Noah didn’t hide anything from Alice and told her everything Tristan informed him about Natalie.

"We underestimate the girl Noah. She turned out to be more dangerous than we thought her to be" Alice was still absorbing the piece of news Noah disclosed about Natalie.

"What do you plan to do now," she asked. Her eyes anxiously waited for his answer.

"Let’s give her what she wants" moving his fierce gaze Noah let out a vicious smile.

Knight Mansion

Ashley stood in front of the dressing table taking a final glance at her appearance and turned to pick up her handbag when suddenly her head began to spin.

"Ouch" she stumbled on her steps and quickly steadied her steps.

"What’s wrong," Tristan asked dashing at her and help her stand straight.

"I don’t know but-" she couldn’t finish her statement and lost consciousness falling limp into Tristan’s arms.

All she heard was Tristan’s anxious voice as he tried to wake her up but she was too lazy to answer him back.

****

Ashley was having a peaceful sleep when she felt a ticklish sensation on her stomach and slowly opened her eyes waking up from her deep slumber.

"Tristan" she called and watched him lift his head from her tummy. A pleasant smile took over his lips and he quickly moved up closer to her face and kissed her lovingly.

"Thank you so much"
