Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 171

Angela got off the bed, rubbing her burning head and covering her upper body, slipped on her shoes and went over to open the door.

Luna stood in the doorway with a pale face, sizing at her up and down and finally let out a sigh of relief, "You scared the hell out of me. What took you so long to open the door?"

"I was too tired, and slept for too long. I’m sorry if I made you worried."

Angela said as she pulled her lips.

Looked at her naked top, Luna frowned, handed her the gown, then pushed her inside the ward, "Go in and change."

Angela nodded and was about to go inside when she suddenly saw the door of the opposite ward opening, and James appearing at the door in a hospital gown.

The wide, white-and-blue striped hospital gown was not a good outfit, but perhaps because of his good figure, or his handsome face, he looked noble even in this gown.

When their four eyes collided, one had an inexplicable look with an infinite abyss at the bottom of his eyes, while the other was staring with full hatred and disgust in her eyes.

"What’s......" Seeing her stand still, Luna turned her head to look behind, but the moment she saw the person across the room, her voice stopped abruptly and swallowed the word “wrong”.

"Come in, sister-in-law." Angela yanked Luna in, walked to the door and slammed it shut.

Luna stood behind her, opened her mouth for several times, then said,

"He was hospitalized because......"

"I'm not interested in what happened to him."

Angela interrupted her abruptly, put the hospital on without hesitation.

Hearing it, Luna was relieved. She thought Angela was angry because she knew Greyson stabbed James yesterday.

"By the way, Angela, if the misunderstanding you told Mr. James yesterday was not about the car accident, what was it?" Luna asked.

Angela paused for a moment and said succinctly,

"...... He thought I had an intimate relationship with Danis and thought I was cheating. That's why he treated me like that for two years."

"Misunderstanding?" Luna asked.

Angela's voice was light, "Hmm."

"And then what?" Luna looked at her face and carefully weighed her words, "You guys are sort of...... on good terms now?"

Crap!

Angela accidentally knocked off the teacup on the table, which fell onto the floor and broke into pieces.

"Good terms?!" Angela smirked, with the scar at the end of her eyebrow tinged with hostility, “Are you kidding me now? How can I possibly be on good terms with him after I spent the last two years in misery and might spend the rest of my life in Dream Club?"

Due to the sufferings and torments she had endured in these past two years, she would never forgive James, even if he were to kneel on the ground and apologize to her.

She hated him!

Hate him for the rest of her life!

If it was not for him, her life would be totally different

"Angela, you..." Luna had never seen Angela like this before, so she was stunned for a moment.

Angela took a deep breath, trying to suppress the emotions churning in her heart, and said lightly, "I'm sorry if I made you scared."

"It's OK."

Luna hesitated before asking,

"So, you and Mr. James already knew that there was a misunderstanding between you two. What are you going to do? Keep on you revenge? Or what else is in your mind?"

"I'd like to get my revenge, but...... I can do nothing more than thinking about it."

Angela laughed at herself, "I’ll leave. After my leg is cured, I want to live in somewhere else."

Even the Chante family was not capable of retaliating against James, how was she supposed to accomplish that alone? Besides, she had already wasted twenty years on James, and she definitely did not want to waste the rest of her life on him.

Luna looked at her and tried to say something, but she remained silent.

"Just say whatever you want to say, Luna." said Angela.

Luna hesitated again before saying,

“Get yourself well prepared. It is not good news for you."

"Tell me straight, Luna."

She had already experienced death for several times, why should she care anything else?

Instead of saying it directly, Luna asked first,

"You cleared your misunderstanding with Mr. James before you were wheeled into the emergency room, didn't you?"

Angela nodded her head.

"But......" Luna paused and softened her voice, "Your brother was on his knees begging James, and he even threatened James with a knife, asking him to let you go, but...... he refused."

Angela clenched her hands slowly, and within a few moments, her face tuned completely pale.

That incident two years ago had been proven to be a misunderstanding, but why would he still refuse to let her go? What did he mean when he told her she would not have to work at the Dream Club anymore? Was he a liar? What the hell was he trying to do?

“Angela, don't get too excited. What happened between you and James was a misunderstanding, as long as it is proven again that the car accident was also a misunderstanding, he...... shouldn't give you a hard time anymore."

Luna rushed to pad her back, looking worried.

Angela licked her dry lips, "He knows I wasn't the cause of that car accident."

He knew she was not responsible for the accident. Therefore, why he treated her in this way for the past two years was purely due to his misunderstanding that she cheated with Danis behind him!

But she already told him that there was nothing between her and Danis, and he even said that he believed her, so why did he refuse to let her go?

Hearing this, Luna was stunned, "Mr. James knows that? Then why won't he leave you alone?"

Angela did not answer her. Instead, she stared at the ground in a daze before walking pass Luna and opened the door.

"Angela, what are you doing?" Luna feared that something might happen to her, so she hurried to follow her.

Angela walked to the opposite ward in a few steps and knocked hard on the door.

Three ward doors opened nearby and the patient's families sticked their heads out to see what was going on.

Among them, an old lady with white hair and a rather good temperament said gently,

“Girls, please keep your noises down.

My old man has lung cancer and is in pain all day, unable to sleep. He is finally sleeping now."

Angela did not respond to the old lady or look at her; instead, she just simply stopped knocking at the door.

"I'm sorry Grandma, my sister is in a hurry. I apologize to you for her." Luna smiled apologetically.

“I can understand if there's an emergency."

The old lady did not tangle for long on this matter, but simply said,

“Thank you for your understanding. They are all patients here, so keep your voices down as much as possible."

Finally, Angela turned around and bowed at the old lady, "I'm sorry."

“It’s just fine."

The old lady waved her hand and said with her slightly red eyes, "It’s just hard for me to watch my old man struggling, so I want to let him rest for a little longer.

Oh, my old man's calling me, I'll go in first!"

She waved at them, and went inside.

Almost the moment the old lady closed the door behind her, James opened his door.

He looked the same as ever, except that his handsome face was as pale as a paper, and his hospital gown was stained with drops of blood.
