Prisoned Love

Chapter １９

Edmend Qin got on the car, started the engine, looked at the dark sky and sighed before driving away. As soon as the car drove out of the garden, her phone vibrated. Edmend Qin took a look at the caller ID and found it was Tianna. Why did she call so early? She answered the phone while thinking.

"Hello, Tianna. What's up?" Edmend Qin frowned. Lack of sleep did affect his mood today.

"Ella, nothing. I just want to ask how you were yesterday. Ella Jiang..." Tianna sensed the impatience in Edmend Qin's tone and asked cautiously.

"Nothing. I'll handle it." Edmend Qin answered perfunctorily. After all, Tianna was a good friend of Dreame, but after all, she was asking about her family affairs. She didn't care too much.

"Ah, that's good. I called you yesterday, but you turned off your phone. I'm worried about you, so..." Tianna explained in a hurry.

"It's none of your business. I have to go now." Edmend Qin didn't want to talk to her anymore, so she hung up the phone. Tianna was a person of wide range.

After hanging up the phone, Tianna was stunned by the four words "end of the call". She wondered if Ella Jiang had said something to Edmend and waited to see how he could get rid of her. Tianna gritted her teeth.

Edmend Qin drove to the riverside. It was already dawn. The wind of the river mixed with the slightly fishy smell of the river blew over, and the green willows along the river swayed slightly. Edmend Qin gradually calmed down. Only he stayed alone would he feel safe. he sat on the stone bench by the river and stared at the other side. It was not until the alarm clock rang that Edmend Qin realized he should go to the company.

Edmend Qin parked the car in the underground garage and entered the company's gate. As soon as he pressed the elevator button, he heard the voice of Tianna from behind.

"Good morning, Ella. Have you had breakfast? I brought you some coffee." Tianna greeted Edmend Qin with a cup of coffee in her hand.

"Thank you. Go upstairs." Edmend Qin was a little surprised. She had said something on the phone, but now Tianna seemed to be calm as if nothing had happened, so he couldn't be angry anymore.

"Ella, I passed by a cinema this morning when I went to work. There seems to be a good movie on show recently. It's your favorite type of psychological movie. Do you want to see it? You need to relax yourself during work." Tianna asked Edmend Qin tentatively.

Before Edmend Qin came to her senses, Tianna took out her phone and said.

"How about Ella on Wednesday? There are too many people on the weekend, and I'm afraid you won't get used to it. You can't always live a simple life like this. Dreame... She has left for so long. You should let her rest assured." Tianna asked with concern. She observed Edmend Qin's expression secretly. Except for the two words "Dreame", his expression didn't change at all. Frustrated, Tianna looked at the up button of the elevator. She thought that if she couldn't watch the movie, she had to think of other ways.

"I... it depends." Edmend Qin suddenly answered expressionlessly. Without waiting for Tianna's reply, the elevator arrived. Ignoring Tianna's complacent expression, Edmend Qin walked out of the elevator as if nothing had happened.

To be honest, since Dreame left, Tianna had been very considerate to Edmend Qin, who had suffered a lot. When he was sad, Tianna was there; when he missed, Tianna was there; whenever she was by the side of Edmend Qin, she would always be with him at any time. Except for the fact that she was not used to doing things, he was very grateful to Tianna. But apart from gratitude, Tianna was also charming and considerate, but Edmend Qin had never had any other feelings for her.

On the other hand, Ella Jiang didn't care about her at all. In her eyes, Edmend Qin might not be as heavy as a wild cat on the roadside. What the hell was wrong with Ella Jiang? It was not a coincidence that she ran into her date with Xie. How long had they been intimate with each other. Edmend Qin went back to his office. he turned on the computer, but he still couldn't concentrate on his work. So he turned off the computer and lit a cigarette.

"Yes, Mr. Xie. I'm Snow. Mrs. had an acute gastroenteritis last night and was still asleep. Yes, Mr. master... He knew it and went to the company early in the morning." Hearing the phone of Ella Jiang, Snow answered it in a hurry.

"Just let her have a good rest for two days. Take care of yourself. Don't worry about the company's affairs. I will handle it." Jeremy Xie said with a frown. Why did she suddenly get sick? No wonder she didn't look well yesterday. Did she do something to Edmend Qin? Why did she ignore Ella? Jeremy Xie clenched his fists.

It was already ten o'clock in the morning when Ella Jiang opened her eyes. The sunlight sprinkled into the room through the half closed curtains and shone on the creamy white sheets. The breeze blew, the curtains moved slightly, and the branches outside the window were shadowed. It suddenly occurred to Ella Jiang that when her father was still alive, her mother would take her to the river with her every time it was a sunny day. She walked around the river, talking and laughing, and went to the flower shop to buy a bunch of new flowers. Then he never went there again, It was the saddest thing to think of her. Ella Jiang liked the leaves especially. The clear and piercing smell could always calm people down. The straight and neat branches were decorated with leaves the size of copper coins. It was special and remote, but it was arrogant by nature. The flower language was a gift from such a kind of plant. When Ella Jiang felt lonely, she felt like a dried Eugene leaf, thin and indifferent, but still wanted to give herself everything.

What she needed more comfort was to lose her beloved mother.

"Mom, I have nothing to do in the company tomorrow. Let's go home and see you." Ella Jiang dialed her mother's number.

"Ella, okay, okay. I'm at home every day. Come with Ella." Hearing that her daughter was coming back, Lauren quickly put down the watering pot in her hand.

"Mom, I came back alone." Hearing the name, Ella Jiang had no choice but to cover her eyes. Go home together? It was probably impossible.

"Well, it's good to come back alone. Your situation... You have to take your time. Let's not talk about this. Tell me what you want to eat. I'll buy it right away." Lauren understood her daughter's helplessness and quickly changed the topic.

"Anything is okay, mom. I like whatever you cook." The scent of her mother lingered in Ella Jiang's mind. The long lost warmth made her nose twitch. No matter how strong she was, she pretended to be strong and broke into pieces in an instant. At this moment, Ella Jiang was so fragile that she couldn't bear a single blow.

After a long time, Ella Jiang found that her tears wet the pillow. She struggled to get out of bed and wiped her tears. Now Ella Jiang was immune to all poisons. For the sake of her mother and her father's last wish, she had to overcome all the difficulties and dangers and become stronger.

"Mrs.Ella, you are up. Do you feel uncomfortable?" Seeing Ella Jiang walk out of the room, Snow immediately walked up to her.

"I'm fine now, Snow. Thank you and Aunt Chen for taking care of me yesterday. It's so late." Ella Jiang said with a smile.

"Mrs.Ella, where are you? It's our duty to take care of you. We won't feel relieved until you are fine." Aunt Chen walked out of the kitchen.

"Eat it while it's hot. This is the porridge I made for Mrs.. It's good for your stomach. Mrs., you should pay attention to your stomach." Aunt Chen put the plate on the table.

"Yes, Mrs.. You know what? Aunt Chen and I were scared yesterday. You need to take good care of yourself and eat a lot every day." Snow echoed as he helped Ella Jiang to sit down.

"I have to go to work. It's so late today." It was not until then that Ella Jiang remembered what had happened at work. As he spoke, he put on his coat in a hurry.

"My lady, don't worry. Mr. Xie called when you were asleep. When he heard that you were sick, he asked you to have a good rest in the next two days. He will take care of the company's affairs." Snow replied.

Ella Jiang thought that she couldn't focus on her work even if she was in such a state of mind. Even so, she took the bowl from Aunt Chen's hand with a smile and sat down. Then she scooped up a spoonful of soup, put it to her mouth, blew it cold and put it into her mouth. Theporridge was so thick and sweet that it could be said that it had been cooked for four hours. Aunt Chen must have got up early to make the porridge. Alas, in fact, except for Edmend Qin, the Qin family was as concerned about her as their family members, and their parents treated her as their own. Thinking of this, Ella Jiang felt less depressed. She lowered her head and ate the porridge quietly.
