Chapter 120 Couldn’t protect her well

Everything happened so fast. Edwin Carter wanted to save Jane but she had been already thrown on the road by the car. Edwin Carter couldn’t do anything. He just helplessly watched Jane being thrown away to the ground. He felt so helpless that he could not even make a sound. The car seemed to hit his heart and smash all his organs. Jane was lying on round; red blood gushed from the hideous wound on her calf and fell on the green lawn. The bright red was just like the blooming peony, but Jane was like the decadent dandelion falling on the ground. Edwin Carter’s heart sank, he clenched his fist and ran to Jane quickly, gently picked her up in his arms, "Jane, don’t be afraid, I’ll take you to the hospital. You will be fine." When Jane heard Edwin Carter’s voice, she raised the corner of her mouth. She didn’t know whether it was due to pain or whether she wanted to smile to let Edwin Carter know that she was fine. She looked at Edwin Carter, and there was some relief in her heart. She suddenly raised her hand and held Edwin Carter’s hand. She gently rubbed it and said, "Don’t worry, I’m ok, it’s not very painful." She’s okay. How could she be ok? The wound on her leg was so serious, the leg was covered with blood. How could she say that she is ok? It was painful. Very painful! Every time she closed her eyes, narrowed her eyebrows or changed her expression because of the pain, it felt like a nail being stabbed in Edwin Carter’s heart. For the first time, he hated himself for not being able to protect her. Edwin Carter gritted his teeth, and his eyes were deep. He held Jane in his arms, and said to Sienna Henry and Luis George just arrived, "go to the hospital." The blood on Jane’s leg was bleeding too much, and she was frightened. She wanted to be stronger, but she could not and fainted in Edwin Carter’s arms. Before losing consciousness, she vaguely looked into Edwin Carter’s eyes. It was the first time that she saw fear in his eyes! ... When Jane woke up, she was in the hospital bed. Her legs were covered with thick white gauze and there was a drip on her hand. She looked at Edwin Carter. He was looking at her, too. He’s silence and angry. "Edwin, I..." Jane wanted to open her mouth to say something, but her throat was too dry to speak. Edwin Carter immediately took the water cup from the side table, inserted the straw and put it into her mouth. Jane took two sips and after quenching her thirst, she looked at him and forced out a smile, "Edwin..." Before she finished, Edwin Carter turned around and sat on the sofa beside her, looking over a document. He didn’t intend to pay attention to her at all. "Edwin..." She was lying on the bed, and he didn’t care about her. Jane felt so aggrieved that her eyes turned red. As Edwin saw her red eyes, he threw the document and went to her bed, sat beside her, then bowed his head and kissed her lips. He nibbled and sucked as if punishing her. He thought of the moment when the car hit her, the red blood flowing out of her body, the time she was unconscious and fainted in his arms. The thought of these sent a shudder through his heart. In his twenty-eight years of life, he had never experienced this kind of feeling. This pain in her heart seemed to suffocate him, which was a thousand times worse than her serious injury. He was very angry that he could not protect her, and even watched those people hurt her with his own eyes. At the moment when the car rushed over, she chose to push him away. Didn’t she think she would be hit by the car? Didn’t she know that women need to be weak to be more likable? Didn’t she know that he did not need her protection? She should protect her own life. After a long time, he left her lips, stared at her pale face, and gently touched her face, "Jane, don’t you care about your own life at all?" Jane raised her hand and punched him, "who says I don’t care about my life? It was just that there was no time for me to think so much. If I had more time to think about it, I wouldn’t do that." Edwin Carter stared at her delicate face, lifted the hair from her forehead, and then lowered his head to kiss on her forehead, "Jane, you are not alone. Seeing you hurt, it hurts me more." Jane took a sniff and said in a snuffle, "Sorry to make you worry about me again." "Promise me that you will never do such a stupid thing again." His voice softened a lot. "Um." Jane nodded. "I won’t do it again." Edwin Carter stroked her head and shook his head and sighed, "How you can be so stupid?" I’m not stupid, Jane said in her heart. She didn’t want to see him get hurt. If he’s injured, she must be in much more pain than now. "Edwin..." Jane paused and asked, "Did you find out why that car was so out of control?" After hearing her questions, Edwin Carter’s eyes sank, "It seems that the car’s brakes failed." It seems that the car’s brake failed? Jane knew Edwin Carter, he never said words like "It seems". "Oh..." She knew he’s not willing to tell her the truth, so she stopped asking. According to Edwin Carter’s answer, the accident must be man-made, that was an intentional murder. In broad daylight, someone dared to plot a murder. Was it for her or for Edwin Carter? This thought made Jane’s heart skip a beat, she just looked at Edwin Carter. Edwin Carter saw the worry in her eyes, rubbed her head and said softly, "the doctor said you need rest." "Um." Jane nodded. ... When Jane woke up again, she wanted to go to the bathroom. But her left leg was hurt and she couldn’t walk. Edwin Carter was the only one in the ward. She didn’t want him to help her, but it will become difficult for her. She closed her eyes again and endured for a long time. But she could not bear it any longer. Then she opened her eyes and looked at Edwin Carter, who was sitting on the sofa and looking at some documents. Edwin Carter looked up and said, "If you need something, just tell me." Jane smiled awkwardly. "Can you go out and ask the nurse to come?" Edwin Carter got up and walked over, pulled the quilt and picked Jane up. Jane was so frightened that she instinctively held his neck, "What are you going to do?" She was so close to him that she could even feel his burning breath spraying on her face, and after a moment she left his neck. Suddenly she touched the wound carelessly, which made her narrowed her eyebrows. Edwin Carter frowned and looked at her. "Don’t you want to go to the bathroom?"
