Chapter 630: Extra Seven: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Five)
Reaching the Civil Affairs Bureau Entrance, Alia Smith tried to run as soon as the car stopped, but William Lane locked the car door, and her attempt was unsuccessful.
Unable to open the car door, Alia gripped her seat belt and looked at William: “I won’t go in. If you drag in there, I’ll shout and tell people inside that you’re forcing , and then I’ll call the police on you.”
William smiled: “Alright, you can try.”
Alia furrowed her brow, biting her lower lip: “Young Master Lane, what’s there to like about ? I have no prestigious background, no impressive education, no abilities…”
Alia’s voice grew quieter.
Noticing no change in William’s tone, he said, “I like your face.”
Alia was shocked: “How can you be so superficial?”
“Is there anything wrong with that?” William defended himself.
“I, I…” Alia was speechless.
William continued: “Then tell why you don’t like ?”
Alia gripped her seatbelt, not knowing what to say.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” William prompted.
Alia looked down, thinking to herself: how could she tell him that he was too good for her?
“Alia Smith…” William called her na again.
Suddenly, Alia blurted out: “You are older.”
William felt as if he had been stabbed in the lung.
Alia sneaked a glance at him and quickly looked away, not daring to speak.
There was a sudden mont of silence in the car. Alia lowered her head, and saw William using his cell phone, seemingly chatting with soone.
After about a minute, William handed her his cell phone.
Alia didn’t know why he was handing her his phone but took it anyway.
She saw a photo on the screen the mont she got the phone.
It was a photo of his younger brother. The image wasn’t very clear, as if it was taken from a surveillance cara, but she could still see his face covered in injuries.
He was curled up on the ground, wearing black clothes that didn’t show much, but there was blood on his neck and hands.
Alia trembled at the sight.
“There’s more,” William, feeling utterly despicable, urged her to continue looking.
With trembling fingers, Alia swiped to the next photos.
There were more images taken from different angles, even more horrifying than the first.
Unable to bear it any longer, Alia closed the phone and looked at William: “What did you do to him? What have you done to him?”
Looking at her pale lips and reddened eyes, William took a shallow breath and said, “What did I do to him? He was with a group of people who broke into my place yesterday. Of course, their ultimate goal was to take my life.”
Alia’s eyelashes trembled: “How is that possible?”
“It’s true,” William swallowed, his throat painfully dry. “By last night, Evan Smith was the only one left from his group.”
“What do you an?” This was the first ti Alia had ever shown fear in front of William.
“Just what you’re thinking,” William wiped away her tears and then said, “Alia, I need a reason to let him live.”
“William Lane, you…” Alia stared at him in disbelief.
“You have half an hour to think about it; whether you leave or go inside with ” William gently rubbed her head and took her ID, “So I can decide what to do about Evan Smith.”
As the car door closed, tears fell onto William’s phone.
Standing outside the car, William took a deep breath, cursing himself while heading into the Civil Affairs Bureau.
It didn’t take half an hour for Alia to get out of the car and enter the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Her eyes were filled with red blood vessels from crying.
William looked at the young girl in front of him.
Alia whispered, “I want to see him.”
“Alright,” William replied, “We will go after we finish.”
Alia, with her tear-stained eyes, was asked several tis by the staff if she was entering into the marriage of her own accord.
Alia Smith just chanically nodded her head.
Finally, William Lane said there was an ergency at her ho, and the two finally got their marriage certificates.
The mont Alia got her marriage certificate, the first thought in her head was that if she ever wanted to get married again, it would be a second marriage.
However, as soon as this idea erged in her head, the marriage certificate was taken away.
William Lane put both marriage certificates in his pocket.
Alia had nothing in her hands and looked at William Lane, saying, “I want to see Daniel.”
William Lane gestured for her to get in the car.
…
Alia thought William Lane was going to take her to so secret location.
Unexpectedly, he took her to the hospital.
When they arrived at the ward, Daniel Harrisonbless was receiving an IV drip on the bed, his head wrapped in gauze, the wounds on his face treated and swollen.
His left arm was also in a cast, though it was unknown how the rest of him was faring.
As soon as the door to the ward opened, Daniel opened his eyes and looked toward the entrance.
William Lane saw the viciousness and murderous intent in his eyes and raised his eyebrows.
However, the mont Daniel saw Alia, the murderous intent in his eyes intensified, mixed with fear.
Ignoring the pain in his body, he got out of bed imdiately. Due to the sudden movent, the IV needle was pulled out from his hand. The back of his hand was cut, the IV pad imdiately dyed red, and blood dripped onto the floor.
“Daniel.”
Alia imdiately entered the room to help him.
With an injury to his abdon, Daniel could not stand up straight but still pulled Alia behind him first.
He didn’t know who William Lane was and wasn’t sure whose boxing ring it was last night.
However, anyone who could easily co and go from here and be so respectful to the person watching him must be related to last night’s events.
He stared at William Lane, “If you have a problem, co at . It has nothing to do with her.”
William Lane smiled faintly.
Alia helped him, “Daniel, I’m fine. You sit first.”
“Sister…”
“Sit first.” Alia made him sit on the bed.
As Daniel sat on the bed, he looked at William Lane. “Sister, are you okay? Did he do anything to you? Did he bully you?”
“If I bullied her, what do you plan to do?” William Lane said softly.
Just about to get up, it seed Daniel was itching to fight William Lane.
But Alia held him back, “Don’t move. Just sit. I’m fine.”
Hearing his sister’s anger, Daniel didn’t dare move.
Alia turned her head to look at William Lane.
William Lane smiled, “You two talk, I’ll go outside.”
As soon as he left, Daniel clutched Alia’s hand, looking anxious. “Sister, did you make any deals with him to let go? What did he do to you?”
Alia looked at the blood flowing down his hand, “No, we’ve known each other for a long ti. He helped change my na. What happened to you? What on earth are you doing to yourself?”
With his head down, Daniel remained silent.
“I’ve said it before, he is him, you are you.” Alia was very angry. “He didn’t take the money, but I would give it to him one day.”
“But all the money is for raising .” Daniel whispered softly, his head down. “Big Sister and Second Sister were forced to marry for my sake. And you weren’t even allowed to study. You took up a part-ti job to make money, and it was taken away.”
“So?” Alia said, “You like this? You risk your life to make money? Everyone is raising you, but you’re risking your life as a joke! Can’t you live up to yourself, let alone others?”
“Sister.” Daniel tugged at Alia’s clothes, “I was wrong, don’t be mad.”
Alia pulled her hand away.
With his hand on his lap holding his pants, Daniel dared not speak…
