My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols

Chapter 55 Fermented

Because it was a day off yesterday, there were a lot of patients coming in, so it was more difficult to

investigate.

But at the same time, many people had seen that man, and one of them was an art teacher. That man

was in

front of them when the art teacher accompanied his wife to a prenatal checkup.

At that time, the art teacher was still wondering, “Why didn’t he bring his wife over?” So he took a

second look at him.

That was when he remembered the appearance of that man.

“What’s that?” Cynthia awoke, groggy and not quite conscious. The back of her head ached very much.

Alston explained, took the sketch, and sat with her in her hospital bed.

That man looked so ordinary that if he had been in a crowd, he would have been inconspicuous.

Greg gave basic information about the man he had found.

That man was Caleb Hayes. He worked as a truck driver. He had a dull personality. People who knew

him

said he was not articulate but honest and easy to be with.

No matter what they thought, they could not believe that he would push someone down the stairs.

Alston looked up. “Check that man’s account to see if there has been any special amount of

remittance.”

Greg frowned, with a perplexed expression on his face. “I have already checked, and there is no

special remittance in his account. I also checked the accounts of his wife and parents, and there is

nothing unusual.”

Cynthia looked at the portrait and frowned. “Ivan didn’t promise him any benefits? Did he remit the

money to him after he had done this? Or did he give him cash?”

Alston shook his head. “I let people spy on him since the last banquet. He has been staying at home

and has never gone out. He didn’t go in person this time. He should have sent someone else there.”

“We need to check whether Caleb has contacted any suspicious persons during this period of time.

Ivan will pay more attention after suffering from the loss at the last banquet. Perhaps all the information

and evidence of their meeting and transaction between them had been destroyed. That’s why he’s so

confident.”

“So now there is no evidence?”

Cynthia thought and frowned, looking pitiful.

Alston smiled. “Who said that we must have some evidence to teach him a lesson!”

Cynthia looked at him. Her eyes lit up.

Seeing her expression, Alston touched the gauze on her head, and said in a hoarse voice, “Is your

head still

hurt?”

Cynthia was a little taken aback. Alston had always stood up for her and helped her to teach those who

bullied her a lesson these days.

Cynthia thought, “If he’s just acting now, there is no one else here, so there is no need for him to be

concerned about me.”

“I’m sorry to trouble you!” Cynthia paused after saying that, then looked at him and said, “There are

only three

of us here, so you don’t have to be nice to me.”

“What?” Alston was taken aback for a moment.

Cynthia looked down. “You saved my mother, and I was Hulda’s shield. You have done what you could,

and

you have helped me to teach those who hurt me a lesson. You don’t have to force yourself to be gentle

with

me.”

She liked him, but the person he liked was Hulda, so she tried hard to avoid him, but every time he was

gentle

and protective, she could fall for him again.

Hearing what she said, Alston remembered that at that time Cynthia had been mentioning the divorce.

He

was angry, so he lied to her that he wanted her to be Hulda’s shield.

He was so angry that he said say those words, but Cynthia remembered it.

Alston was a little dumbfounded and didn’t know how to explain it to Cynthia.

After going through those things, Alston realized that the so–called shield was useless. Although Hulda

was

able to get others‘ attention, he underestimated Ivan, his cousin, who was always useless.

His cousin was very sensitive to the romance.

Alston did not love Hulda, in spite of his tenderness for her. Although he had deceived most people, he

hadn’t

deceived Ivan.

For several days Ivan had kept his eye on Cynthia, and, in addition to his jealousy of the last incident in

the

box, he knew that she was Alston’s favorite.

In that case, Hulda would be of no use. He had only to protect Cynthia well.

Alston made up his mind and was going to tell Cynthia everything, including the deal between him and

Hulda. Just as he was about to speak, Helen rushed into the ward in a hurry.

She was holding her cell phone and was anxious. “Sh*t, the video of that internet celebrity making

trouble in

the hospital before was uploaded to the internet by some b*stard!”

Alston became nervous and picked up the phone.

The Central Hospital was a large hospital, and the person who caused the trouble was a well–known

celebrity. That video became popular all of a sudden, and it became a trending topic on social media.

The netizen was ignorant of the truth, Pera didn’t have a single word of truth, and she was ruining

Cynthia’s reputation everywhere. The video had been edited to portray Cynthia as a woman who was

seducing a

patient’s boyfriend, who had no medical ethics, and who was irresponsible.

Netizens were all talking about that!

The doctor–patient relationship was tense, and after it was fueled by others, the video was retweeted

more

than 10,000 times in an instant, with countless comments. Most of the comments were scolding

Cynthia.

Alston browsed through, clenched his fingers, and there was a crack on the screen.

Seeing that, Cynthia reached out for the phone. “Let me see what’s going on.”

Alston stepped back and threw the phone at Helen. He didn’t want Cynthia to see those disgusting

comments. Those netizens didn’t know anything and attacked her with the most vicious words…

Alston watched her as she lay back in her hospital bed. Her delicate, beautiful face was pale. Her

forehead,

wrapped in a thick sheet of gauze, was still soaked in blood. She looked so pitiful.

The corners of his eyes were red, and his gaze was hostile. He thought, “If Ivan dared to touch my girl,

I would

never let him go!”

“It’s nothing. You rest at ease. I will take care of these things.”

After Alston had finished speaking, he looked at Helen and signaled to her to come out. After he told

Greg to

take care of Cynthia, he left the ward.

Helen was waiting at the door of the ward, and when she saw Alston coming out, she felt a little guilty.

“I’m sorry. I thought Cynthia wasn’t awake yet!”

Alston ignored her, worried that Cynthia would hear it, so he walked away from the ward and went

outside.

Helen followed. “What should we do next? Too many people have now reposted the video. Those

people are tracking Cynthia down online. What if they find out that Cynthia is in the hospital and sneak

into the hospital

to make a fuss…”

She couldn’t imagine what would happen.

Not only was Cynthia in the hospital, but Cynthia’s mother was there, too. If it got serious, her mother

would be exasperated, and if anything happened, Cynthia would break down.

Alston’s eyes were cold. “When I checked the surveillance before, the middle–aged man didn’t take

pictures with his mobile phone. Among those who besieged Cynthia, there may be other people

hiding.”

“Ivan is too vicious!” Helen said, eyes full of resentment, “Why does he hate Cynthia so much? He

schemed the last time. Why could he not let her go this time!”

Alston sneered. “Him? He doesn’t have so many sinister thoughts.”

Alston thought, “Ivan was indeed unscrupulous, but arranging Pera to cause trouble and letting Caleb

take advantage of the chaos to push Cynthia down the stairs was too much. He was not the one who

exposed this

video on the internet.”

“Why are you so sure?” Helen was a little puzzled.

Alston said, “He knows the truth about Pera’s miscarriage and can no longer bear children. Taking this

to

make a big fuss in the hospital will help him implement his next plan, but it will be fermented on the

internet.”

“The hospital had Pera’s medical records at that time. So many nurses were involved in the operation

at the time. Rumors are not self–defeating if they are clarified. If he is still involved, then things will not

be good for

him.”

Helen suddenly realized. “Yes, indeed, he didn’t need to do that! But if it wasn’t him, who would it be?”

Alston’s eyes were cold, and he pursed.

He knew who that person was. He underestimated the one before!
