Edmond stopped his car at the traffic light before going through Alicia's phone to look for the photos.
However, the photos and text in the email were automatically destroyed, but the photos below in Alicia's reply to Diane were still there.
And the words that Alicia had made Edmond angry.
-[I'm a bit busy here. Who are you? Do you want to come over and join us? This handsome guy is better than Edmond.]
Edmond glanced at Alicia.
"Which man is better than me? Tell me."
Alicia chose to play dead.
When the photos had been sent, Grace wanted Edmond to see them and be pissed off.
Who would have thought it would be at a time like this?
Tattletale didn't work but got herself in trouble now.
"Give me my phone."
The man did not return. Edmond opened the album to look through it.
Alicia was shocked and was about to reach over and snatch the phone back, but she was one step too late after all.
Edmond took one look and saw a certain album called "Car Crash Scene Records", which was full of pictures of Alicia with other men.
There were all kinds of poses and scenes.
She covered her breasts with a bath towel, her beautiful eyes half-smiling and her whole face very lustful.
Edmond particularly liked it when she wore that look.
It was a kind of intoxication after being satisfied that would drive him crazy.
Swiping down through the albums, he saw at least a hundred of photos.
In the photos, the men's faces were covered, but from the figures, he could tell that they were different men.
Edmond's face darkened.
"You've cheated on me a lot."
Alicia was so anxious that she rushed to snatch the photos back.
"These pictures were made by Grace."
It was a little late to explain.
Even Alicia felt like she was being sly and unconvincing.
Edmond just laughed coldly and turned his head to continue driving, his eyes dripping with coldness and displeasure.
The two never spoke again.
Alicia fretted for a while and then gave up explaining.
Anyway, she had already explained that the photo was forged. She didn't care whether Edmond could believe it or not.
When they were about to arrive at Alicia's house, Edmond received a message from Melissa.
[Edmond, I'm in the hospital. There's something important I want to talk to you about. Please don't tell Alicia yet].
Edmond's eyes sink.
Before Alicia got out of the car, she was torn for two seconds, but still opened her mouth and asked, "Where are you going to sleep tonight?"
Alicia was giving him a leg up. She knew he was angry, and although she couldn't bring herself to ask for peace, she could still speak politely.
Edmond froze.
He knew what Alicia meant, but thinking about the message he got, he chose to conceal it for the time being.
"I've been asked to go over to the hospital."
Alicia didn't suspect what happened. She got out of the car and left.
Edmond watched her go upstairs and waited until he was sure the lights in her house were on before driving to the hospital.
Melissa was old and had been in poor health, and with the major surgery she'd had before, Edmond guessed she was seriously ill.
When Edmond found the ward, the carer was watching a TV series with Melissa.
"Ma'am, Doctor Agos is here."
Melissa's face was a little pale. When she saw her son-in-law, she smiled. She seemed to be slightly tired.
It had only been a few days since they last met.
This change in her complexion was too great, and it was obvious that something unexpected had happened.
Edmond didn't move, walking to the end of the bed to pick up the case record and look through it, his brows frowning more and more tightly.
"How long has this been going on?"
The carer was a little wary.
"Just this week, I think. She had headaches more frequently. Sometimes she would vomit when having severe headaches. And Ma'am often stumbles when she walks. She told me it was nothing serious, but then she suddenly collapsed just now after dinner." Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Edmond looked at Melissa with serious eyes.
That day when Melissa fell in the bathroom and said she was having a gout attack, he didn't suspect her words.
At this moment, although the results of the brain scan hadn't come out yet, he could infer her physical condition from all the symptoms in the case.
-It was a recurrence of the brain tumour.
Melissa was calm and indifferent
"Edmond, don't tell Alicia about this."
