Chapter 166 Letter to Girlfriend

Elly's steps stopped. She hesitated for a long time and went on firmly.

Alex followed her back, his eyes did not have the light of sadness because of failure, but restless anxiety. She was with Aron, which made him uneasy.

Just then, his mobile phone suddenly rang, and Alex staggered to connect the phone. His eyes widened after he listened to the contents of the phone call.

"What? I'll be right there"

When the call was finished, Alex immediately went to the airport to catch a flight to Alberta.

After he arrived at the hospital, his health became unstable because of the different time zone. He hurriedly went to the intensive care unit.

As he opened the door, he saw Secretary Gerald seated on the wall of the bed excitedly. His fear turned into a sigh of relief, and he smiled with satisfaction at the good news.

Secretary Gerald laughed heartily and joked. "In a word, you are not calm sometimes."

"Well, you still have a sense of humor. You look really good. You went from house-to-house scolding. Thanks to you, you can get the favor of your ancestors. Even a professional attendant is sure that you won't wake up. You can't be too lazy to lie in bed, you have to work, you have to work!"

"Hell no! No, no, no, no, no, no."

When Alex heard the news that Secretary Chen woke up, he was very excited. He ran abroad and saw him opened his eyes. Only then that the big stone in his heart be put down.

"It's a good thing you're awake, or I'll feel sorry for you for the rest of my life." Alex sighed calmly.

It hasn't come to that yet. Secretary Gerald smiled and comforted him. "I didn't get hurt for you. You don't need to feel guilty."

"If I didn't agree to let you go on a business trip with Brandon, you won't get hurt. You don't blame me for being too polite.

When he looked at Alex who sincerely worried about him, Gerald was very moved. But he was not a sentimental person, so he shook his head quickly and smiled mockingly. "No, whether if I am in the company or city Alberta, accidents will happen in different ways."

His hidden words are like throwing stones on a calm lake, Alex said solemnly. "What happened to you? What happened that day? Why did you get hurt and saved Brandon?"

Gerald was taken aback by his impatient question and uttered a tone of sarcasm.

"Brandon said I saved him?

Alex nodded and saw the problem vaguely.

"The truth is quite the opposite. I stood with him that day, and when the billboard fell, he pushed me towards the whole sign." Gerald was cold and his eyes were full of complaints.

"Are you sure Brandon you pushed? Alex sat upright in his chair, his chin stuck out, his face ferocious, stared sharply at Gerald and emphasized the confirmation of every word.

Gerald understood that Alex was not questioning his words, so he nodded in affirmation.

"The only person who has enough time and suitable distance for me to suffer an accident are Brandon. He knows that I have recently investigated him and that I have taken the liberty of not reporting your investigation into the death of John, and killing me is to avoid future trouble."

"I sent someone to check the surveillance footage at the scene, but even the cameras and the surveillance room were removed." Alex's voice was so low that it was hard for him to doubt his good friend. The same story happened and the camera recorded it. Just like a year ago, in the hallway where he walked in John's intensive care unit.

The two thought together, and the matter became more serious than they had imagined.

"Since when did you suspect Brandon?" Gerald asked cautiously. He always knew that his boss was a reasonable man who could die for his brother, so his lack of trust in his friends was very dismissive.

"After your accident. There are too many coincidences. Accidents keep happening and the camera is damaged, which can't be accidental."

Although he doesn't know much, Gerald has been around Alex Hargreaves for so many years and have a lot of things to say. "All in all, I know you have always regarded Brandon as a brother. Although you suspect him, you have given him a chance to correct which will only make him make more mistakes." Brandon is not as simple as you think he is, and the purpose of joining is not just to get back at the Russel family."

Secretary Gerald took his shirt and put it next to his pillow and took out a letter from the inside of the shirt. He hesitated for a few seconds, but he gave it to Alex. "This is what I found in Brandon's hotel room. It's like the diary page he used to write to."

The letter is in familiar handwriting with the name of a girl named Avery. As soon as Alex saw the name, his eyebrows were tightly locked together. After reading the complete letter, he shuddered.

When his expression changed, Secretary Gerald asked carefully. "Who is in Avery in Brandon's letter? Do you know?"

Alex nodded and said solemnly. Avery is a friend of Brandon. She is a happy and smiling person, but unfortunately, she died after an accident. Brandon has never loved anyone since then.

"No, no, no. no, no, no." Everything made sense now.

Amazingly, a dangerous person like him might feel the same way. Secretary Gerald sighed.

Alex was very uncomfortable at the mention of Avery. For many years, he thought it was an accident, but the truth was exposed only through a letter from Brandon to Avon. This is a deliberate case.

Alex felt a little restless with the letter, and his dazed eyes seemed to recall the past. Secretary Gerald persuaded.

"All in all, I know you think Brandon is a good brother who agreed to take part in Russel's revenge, but once is enough. There should be a clear distinction between public and private. Alex, you are not a pedal that can be used by others, and you can no longer be soft-hearted. For those who are blinded by hatred, Brandon can do anything, including harm others. You should not let yourself be involved."

Gerald's injury is living proof of Brandon's evil nature.

Alex nodded and spoke in a low voice. "I understand. Don't worry. I know what to do."

The door was pushed open and he stopped talking, and the eagle's eyes looked at the door with a look of surprise. "Elly? Why are you here?

Elly was surprised. She asked with dissatisfaction with her lips. "Why? Only you have the right to come, am I not allowed?"

As soon as they met, the words were right. Secretary Gerald supported the foundation of their relationship. "All in all, I informed Elly."

Elly glared at him, turned around, and looked at Secretary Chen with a smile on his face. Although she was questioned for no reason, the exasperation was swallowed up by joy. She went to the bedside and put the flowers in the hands of Secretary Gerald.

"Congratulations on waking up! I hope you will recover and leave the hospital soon."

"Thank you!

Secretary Gerald deliberately showed off a bouquet of flowers in front of Alex and his jealous expression made him want to laugh.

"It's too wasteful for his ex-wife to send flowers to a single man." Alex thought for the moment when he sent her flowers at the door of the Torch Group and her attitude of collecting flowers was very reluctant. He doesn't feel well. He can't help it.

Gerald, who was directly scolded, smiled calmly. Whispered in his heart that it was his wife who disliked being single and that it must be why Alex's loner.

He heartily laughed at Elly who was very angry. She stared at him unhappily. She wanted to swear, but the door opened again, and the nurse came in and glanced at the ward and frowned.

"Is Mr. Gerald ready? It's time for regular check-ups."

"Thank you! I'll be right there."

Secretary Gerald glanced at the two people and charged. "You two wait for me. Don't leave. I'll be back after the inspection. I have something important to tell you."

Gerald and the nurse left the room, the room sank into an unusually silent atmosphere. Only the sound of two people breathing can be heard.

Elly was the first to lose patience. She was a little embarrassed by the eagle-like eyes of Alex that stared at her as if he was trying to devour her. She scratched her nose with her hand and she discusses it carefully. "Mr. Alex, would you please stop coming to my company in the future? I was embarrassed that you were waiting at the gate of the company."

"Do you mind?"

She nodded.

Alex was angry at her nod, and his jealous tone and frown indicated that he was losing his cool. "Are you afraid of Aron?"

Elly is not afraid of Aron to know, because he has nothing else to do with her. She just doesn't like colleagues to talk about her private life. It can be annoying to be discussed by others all day.

"I told you he has nothing to do with it, and I mean it very clearly. You need to stop wasting my time and thoughts."

"If Aron loves you with all his heart, I will let go. But now that his true face is revealed, I don't think I can hand you over to that kind of dangerous person. He can't love you. Let me do it.

Her heart was so excited that she tried to suppress it. Finally, she hesitated to admit it. "As a matter of fact, we are not in love, and we have no intention of getting married. All because in Mr. Aron's eyes, it helped him avoid the arrangement of extramarital affairs. Anyway, thank you for your worry. Stop interfering in my affairs." Elly said.

What surprised him the most is when Alex's trembling voice convinced her. "Elly, will you listen to me for once? Let's quit our jobs!"
