Chapter 21 Get Married
“I’m searching for her.”
Edwin called his subordinates under the pressure and noticed that the atmosphere was rather tense.
Terrence stood in front of him coldly without saying anything like an iceberg.
“She is in the cemetery…”
Edwin trembled with fear and looked up, but he found that Terrence had left.
He let out a sigh of relief and found that his palm was actually covered in a cold sweat.
Terrence drove out of the garage, and the car whirled away along the empty road. The roar of the
engine tore through the silent night.
Why did she go to the cemetery now?
Terrence’s face was extremely grave, and his deep-set eyes were quite cold.
At this moment, Alexa slowly walked out of the cemetery, and her clothes accidentally touched the
wound. She had to squat by the roadside and stood up after a long while.
After getting up, she staggered a few steps before she could stand firm.
A Maybach roared down the street and stopped less than 3 feet away from her.
Terrence rolled down the car window. A few shadows were cast on Terrence’s handsome face under
the dim light.
“Get in the car,” he said icily.
Alexa bent down and looked in through the window. She saw the gift box in the front passenger seat.
The expression in Terrence’s eyes became unnatural.
He wanted to apologize to her, but he never had the chance to give her the gift.
Perhaps, this was the time. Terrence moved his lips.
“You have something to do later?” Alexa said. Her eyes were shining. “I’ll leave you to it. I’m going to
the crossroads ahead and take a taxi.”
He held back words that sprang to his lips.
“Get in the car.”
“No, no,” Alexa politely said and waved her hand. “You should go now.”
Terrence gritted his teeth and sighed with a resigned look.
"Ale…”
Before he could scold her, Alexa’s phone rang.
“Sorry.”
Alexa unhurriedly took out her phone and answered the call in front of him.
“Hello, Dr. Powell?” she said. “What’s the matter? Now?”
Her face grew grave.
“Now?”
When Terrence heard this, his face immediately darkened.
“What’s the matter?” he asked directly.
Alexa exchanged a few words of greeting with Kieran and then hung up, while Terrence looked
quite gloomy.
“You should go now. I won’t take up any more of your time.” Alexa didn’t answer his question.
“What did he say?”
“There’s something I need to deal with in the hospital. Dr. Powell will come to pick me up.”
“To pick you up?” Terrence said in anger. “Why does he want to come to pick you up?”
“Some business in the hospital,” Alexa explained indifferently. “It should be very urgent. He has
come to pick me up now.”
She would rather let Kieran pick her
Terrence could give her everything she wanted, but Kieran was just a doctor.
Terrence’s face was grave, and he wound up the car window without saying anything. With the roar of
the engine, the car whizzed past Alexa.
Alexa was choked by a cloud of dust that was stirred up by the car, and she coughed violently. When
she opened her eyes, Terrence’s car had disappeared without a trace.
Kieran’s car soon arrived. He changed his formal suit and was wearing a set of beige casual clothes, Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
which made him look very gentle.
He opened the car door for Alexa in a gentlemanly manner, smiling brightly.
“Ms. Duran, please.”
After both of them got into the car, Alexa finally asked curiously.
“Where are we heading?” she said. “We’re not going to the hospital, aren’t we?”
“Yes,” Kieran answered. The car was traveling at an appropriate speed. “I told my teacher’s research
team about your condition. They are now in New York.”
“Okay,” she answered.
Alexa was nervous somehow.
After arriving at the hotel, she thought that it was reasonable for her to be nervous.
In a luxurious room, more than ten heavyweights in medicine sat in a circle, and they were dignified in
their bearing.
Kieran stood beside her. The man sitting in the main seat was his teacher, Harper Barston. Then he
introduced the white-haired man to her.
“This is my teacher, Mr. Barston.”
Though Alexa did not know much about the medical cycle, she knew that Harper was the foremost.
doctor in the country.
She had her heart in her mouth. She held her breath and greeted Harper.
The doctors present were all amiable.
Kieran was talking about her illness with them, and Alexa did not understand some of those terms, so
she silently drank coffee.
From Harper’s words, she knew that she could be saved.
She had been depressed for a long time, and now that was a weight off her mind.
“Don’t worry,” Kieran said to her and tilted his head. “We will make a detailed treatment plan soon. You
should eat something now.”
“Alright,” Alexa replied with a smile.
Suddenly, the phone in her pocket vibrated.
Alexa immediately went to a quiet place and saw the caller’s name on the screen. She subconsciously
bit her lip.
Terrence was sitting in the car and stared at the entrance of the hotel.
“Where are you?”
Hearing his unfriendly tone, Alexa put on a resigned look.
“I’m with Dr. Powell.”
“Where are you?”
“We…” Alexa hesitated. “We’re discussing the treatment plan with other doctors.”
“You’re not suffering from a hopeless disease. Why do you need to discuss it?” Terrence raised his
voice and said in a gloomy voice. “What kind of treatment plan needs to be discussed in the hotel?”
Terrence had just questioned her, and then one of the doctors asked, “Kieran, when will you get
married?”
Terrence heard it.
He thought, get married?
Alexa, well done!
The blue veins stood out on his temples. He was in a burning fury.
He mocked, “Have you met his parents?”
“What are you talking about?” Alexa said in a low voice.
“Come downstairs now,” Terrence said in a commanding tone. “Or I will go to find you.”
“We’re not finished yet…”
“Alexa Duran, I won’t tolerate you and your lover!” Terrence’s heart sank. “You do whatever I wish. Do
you understand?”
Alexa lapsed into silence, and Terrence pinched the space between his eyebrows in frustration.
“Alexa, did you hear that?”
“I understand,” Alexa said in a low voice. “I will go downstairs immediately. You don’t have to get in.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Terrence hung up.
Terrence angrily threw his phone away and banged the steering wheel to vent his anger.
Why was he so angry?
Terrence thought, Alexa is just a normal woman. Why could she make me so angry?
I don’t love her. Perhaps I just don’t want to be humiliated by her doings.
When he thought of this, Terrence held back his anger.
But when he saw the two people walking side by side towards him, he found that his anger was
aroused once more, and it was even intense.
Kieran had noticed the Maybach parked by the side of the road, but he moved his eyes away calmly
and came out with Alexa as if nothing had happened.
Terrence slammed the door shut and leaned against the car. His slender figure burst out with an
unprecedented sense of oppression.
Alexa called out to Kieran from a distance away, her face somewhat unnatural.
“Mr. Powell, there we are. Thank you,” Alexa said with difficulty.
“If you need it, I can send you back.”
“No need. Thank you. I’ll go back with my husband,” Alexa said politely.
Hearing Alexa call Terrence like this, Kieran no longer tried to persuade her.
“Okay.”
Terrence wondered, what on earth are they talking about? They are so reluctant to part.
Don’t they see me?
