Chapter 1084 Setting a Deadlock to Verify What Happened (2)

Joshua Hughes could hardly believe his eyes. The girl who had been on the hospital bed, pale to the point of disappearing, sat up and gently tugged at his sleeve, softly saying not to.

"Damn it, lie down quickly..." Her hand was still wrapped in bandages, and the bright red was glaring. Wasn’t it said that it might be impossible? How could she be okay now? Joshua lightly reached out and touched her face, soft and elastic, with the texture he loved the most.

"Beckett, can you leave for now?" In her clear eyes, no emotions could be seen, yet they were radiant, like gems with glimmering light, breathtakingly beautiful.

Beckett deeply looked at her, nodded, and turned to leave. This time he truly believed that their eyes only saw each other. Joshua could love her so much that he could endure anything, and because she felt guilty about what she had done, she chose this path. Fortunately, she woke up, and no great mistake was made. It was as if all hope had been drained from his body, like a wandering soul, drifting out of the hospital room.

:"Who gave you the courage to do this, who allowed you to do this..." Just hearing the news, seeing her lying on the hospital bed like that, he almost couldn’t take it. Now she just sat up without warning, tugging at his sleeve, making him feel like he had gone through a rollercoaster ride, full of ups and downs.

:"Don’t be angry, wasn’t I fine?" Avery Jane’s eyes gleamed with relief. Her guess was not wrong, it should be said that Joshua’s response and intuition were very accurate. Coupled with her careful recollection over the past two days, she felt Beckett might not have actually done such a thing to her. But all this was just her conjecture; she needed some evidence, she needed Beckett to personally tell the truth, only then would she be at ease.

Avery Jane pulled down the bandages on her hand, with traces of red underneath. Her white, slender wrist had not a single wound. Her clean, small face carried a smile, seemingly comforting yet with a hint of mischief.

Today she was deceiving everyone, she hadn’t experienced the incident Eliza Bell mentioned on the phone about discovering her wrist-cutting suicide attempt in the bathroom. She set a trap to make Beckett confess the truth himself, but this little trick shouldn’t have deceived even him. Just now, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

:"You damn little thing." Joshua’s eyes turned crimson, as he heavily kissed her lips.

:"Don’t..." He urgently wanted to confirm her softness and warmth, while Avery Jane nervously dodged, grabbing a tissue from the bedside table, wiping her mouth, the tissue showing a grayish shade.

No wonder her lips looked so grayish-pale, genuinely resembling excessive blood loss, even he was fooled.

:"If you wanted Beckett to tell the truth, fine, but why deceive even me? Do you know how many red lights I ran......" Joshua looked at her wearing the large hospital gown, making her look all the more delicate and petite.

:"Eliza said to act the whole scene; if you looked truly anxious, then Beckett would definitely believe something really happened." Avery Jane answered truthfully. Today Beckett gave her a truth, from the moment she heard it, she seemed to revive in full spirit.

Eliza, that damn woman, calculating even against him. It was better to take Avery Jane away from her soon, she was full of tricky ideas.

:"Why did you decide to do this, are you sure Beckett didn’t do anything?" Joshua’s deep eyes gazed at her, pupils filled with tiny stars, gentle and full of passion.

:"I thought carefully, and it truly seems he didn’t." Avery Jane wiped off the disguise from her lips, gradually showing the blush on her lips, like alluring petals......

She lowered her head, blushing for a moment. Her guess was indeed correct, there was no safety equipment found in the room, and her body had no trace of his fluid, though she felt shy telling Joshua this.

:"What are you thinking about, tell me, huh?" The man’s deep voice was magnetic, causing one’s heart to tingle......

Avery Jane faintly smiled, her smile almost enchanting enough to make one lose their spirit.
