CHAPTER 582

Chapter 582 All Humans Are Selfish

After a long time, Bridger let go of her and called her name, “Mallory, I will wait for you.”

It sounded more pleasant than words of love. “Okay.” Mallory’s eyes were filled with

tenderness.

Mallory could not bear to part with Bridger, but she had no choice. Paisley was too sensitive. If Mallory had not behaved herself recently, Paisley would not have given her any freedom. If Mallory did not take it seriously and was discovered, all her plans might.

fail.

Mallory told herself to endure it a little longer, and then she would succeed. At that time,

she would be free.

After covering herself up, Mallory went downstairs and took out a small mirror to take a look. Sure enough, her lips were slightly red and swollen. Paisley would suspect Mallory if she saw Mallory like this. After thinking for a while, Mallory walked to the flower bed on the side of the road and looked at the edge of it for a while. She gritted her teeth and knocked her lips against the edge of the flower bed.

Mallory’s teeth hit her lips, and the edge of the flower bed was relatively blunt. It was so painful that tears flowed out, and Mallory’s mouth was bleeding. Her lips were more

swollen.

After looking at the mirror, again and again, Mallory felt relieved. Only then could she

explain her swollen lips.

When Mallory returned home, Paisley probably had not been awake, because Anderson

was waiting at the door of the second floor. When he saw Mallory, he looked down

slightly and said nothing.

Pointing in the direction of the basement, Anderson motioned Mallory to go back first. He would call her when Paisley needed her to do something.

Anderson did not say anything, so Mallory tiptoed into her bedroom.

Mallory closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief. If she had known that Paisley had not woken up, she would not have come back so early. Mallory could stay for a while longer. After thinking for a while, she opened the drawer on the table and fumbled for a

small secret compartment from the innermost part. Mallory then took out a small jar of medicine from it.

The medicine prescribed by the hospital was indeed useful. In addition, Mallory learned some of the medicinal properties of food and the knowledge of chronic poison. She believed that she would soon succeed. After all, Paisley vomited blood more and more frequently recently. Paisley’s mental state was not as good as before, and she tended to get sleepy. This effect was greatly beyond Mallory’s expectations. She thought that it

would not be so fast.

It was good that Paisley was about to return to the Drew’s home. This was beyond Mallory’s expectations. Mallory had to hurry up and stopped Paisley from returning to the Drew’s home. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to carry out Mallory’s plan.

Mallory’s fingers gently turned the bottle. She looked at the smooth surface of the bottle. She had torn off the outer packaging. Mallory thought she was not that stupid.

Mallory did not want to do that, but her sister repeatedly forced her. It was so difficult for Mallory to be herself, Mallory wondered, if only one of us can survive, why cannot that person be me? Why must it be Paisley?

A humans were selfish! Mallory had to think about herself once!

Miley slept for two days before waking up. She had been in a deep sleep. There was nothing serious about her, but she was overly emotional. In addition, she was old and

weak. She needed to rest well.

When Miley woke up, Silvia happened to visit her after waking up in the morning. Seeing Miley open her eyes, Silvia was very happy and asked gently, “Miley, you are awake.”

Blinking her eyes, Miley probably hadn’t come back to her senses for a while and was a

little dazed.

“Miley, I’m Silvia,” Silvia called out softly. Silvia was observing Miley’s condition. The

doctor said that Miley could not be stimulated again.

“Oh.” Miley’s mind was almost clear now. She propped herself up with both hands,

wanting to sit up. Silvia hurriedly helped her. “Please slow down. Are you hungry? Do you

want to eat anything? How about soup? I’ll get someone to bring some up.”

Silvia got a cushion for Miley so that Miley could sit firmly. Just as Silvia was about to turn around and call for help, Miley grabbed her hand. “Silvia, wait a moment.”

Silvia stopped and turned to look at Miley.

“How long have I been asleep?” Miley looked up at Silvia.

“Two days.”

“Two days?” Silvia was stunned for a moment. She probably did not expect that she had

slept for so long. Needless to say, the people who should disperse had dispersed. But what happened after that?

“Simon…”

“Simon is downstairs. He hasn’t left yet. Do you want to see him? I’ll call him!”

“No hurry. Thank you for your hard work in the past two days,” Miley said.

Silvia shook her head. “Don’t mention it! Litzy has been taking care of you for the past

two days. She worked so hard.”

“Litzy…” Miley sighed. Although she was holding Silvia’s hand, she was looking ahead. It was unknown what Miley was looking at. Her gaze drifted far away.

“You…” Silvia hesitated for a moment and did not ask.

It was a little awkward. Silvia should ask servants to tell everyone that Miley was awake

and feed Miley some food to moisten her stomach. However, Miley refused to let Silvial go. Silvia was afraid of provoking Miley, so she didn’t chat with Miley.

After a while, Miley retracted her gaze and looked at Silvia. Miley’s lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but the words got lost on the way to her mouth. Miley held

back her tongue.

In fact, even if Miley didn’t say it, Silvia knew what she wanted to ask. Seeing that Miley

looked good, Silvia asked gingerly, “Do you want to ask about Bridger?”

Miley was surprised. “You’re willing to mention him.”

Such a thing happened. Bridger framed them and wanted to get Simon into trouble. He stole the scripture and did a lot of wrong things. But Silvia was willing to talk about

Bridger.

“Bridger is Simon’s uncle, so Bridger is also my uncle.” Silvia smiled and patted the back of Miley’s hand to comfort her. “Anyway, you must be hungry. Eat something and we can

talk slowly, okay?”

Looking at Silvia’s sincere eyes, Miley slowly nodded and finally let her go.

Silvia smiled and went downstairs.

Simon had just finished breakfast downstairs. He adjusted his tie and was about to go out when he saw Silvia coming downstairs. He casually asked, “Hasn’t Grandma been

awake yet?” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“She has. I will have someone to send some food up,” Silvia smiled.

Simon was slightly stunned. “She has been awake? Then I’ll go up and take a look.”

“Wait a moment.” Silvia said, “Grandma just woke up, and she is not in good spirits. Moreover, she wants to ask… about Bridger. Do you want to tell her that you have not

found him yet?”

After pondering for a moment, Simon shook his head. “It’s better not for the moment. She just woke up. The doctor said that she should not be stimulated again. Before we find Bridger, we should keep her in the dark.”

Silvia nodded. “I agree. We should wait for Bridger to calm down. Some people are following him. Soon, he will come back to see Grandma after he comes through.”

“That’s all we can do,” Simon said.

Simon thought that Bridger was just going out to calm down. He would come back, for there was nowhere to go. Simon did not expect that Bridger would not turn back. It had

been a day and two nights. The key was that Simon could not find where Bridger was.

There was no sign of Bridger staying in any hotel.

Finally, someone saw Dooley fighting with Dooley on the street. Dooley’s car was left on

the roadside, but he was gone.

Simon felt strange, so he asked his people to continue investigating.
