Chapter 217 Meeting Her Family Cynthia was covered in his arms, and the man covered her head with one hand, letting her nestle in his arms, and kept protecting her waist with the other hand.
It was a familiar smell, calm and gentle.
Cynthia blinked, and finally regained her composure. When she heard the manâs gasp in pain, she raised her head and met Alstonâs handsome face.
âAlston, why are you here?â
âI miss you, so I get things done ahead of time. Lorenz told me that you will come here today to celebrate grandpaâs birthday. I want to give you a surprise.â
Alston was lying on the ground, frowning slightly because of the pain in his back.
Cynthia quickly pulled Alston up from the ground, hurriedly checking whether he was injured. She remembered that the car was about to hit her just now, and it was Alston who hugged her to escape.
âIâm fine.â Alston saw her anxiety and quickly comforted her.
Cynthia didnât believe it. He always liked to hide his injuries and never let her know. She didnât believe his words. When she touched his back, Alstonâs body trembled.
âIs your back hurt? Let me see!â As she spoke, Cynthia was about to take off Alstonâs clothes.
Alston quickly pulled her hand down and looked behind her:
Cynthia turned around, and before she could speak, her grandma and the others rushed in front of her, holding her hand, and carefully checking her.
âCynthia, are you alright? Letâs go to the hospital for a checkup.â
Are you hurt?â
When Cynthia saw that they were all looking at her anxiously, she felt warm in her heart. âItâs okay. Alston saved me.â
The four people noticed Alston standing behind her.
This young man was tall and handsome. They thought Lorenz was handsome and noble, but Alston had a different style. He had a handsome face, deep eyes, and a straight nose.
He had an unparalleled aura as if everything was under his control.
Seeing them looking over, Alston smiled politely and gently. âI am Cynthiaâs husband, Alston Smith.â
The moment Old Mr. Green found out about Cynthiaâs marriage, he inquired about Alstonâs life experience and background. His family was not very happy, but he was not bad.
He nodded and said, âThis man is not bad. He is worthy of Cynthia.â
Cynthia knew Alstonâs excellence. Alston was much better than her. However, her family always felt that she was the best girl in the world. She was moved and helpless.
âThank you, Grandpa.â
Before Alston came here, he was worried about whether her family would make things difficult for him. He was even prepared for the worst. Unexpectedly, Cynthiaâs grandfather recognized him, so he was very excited. His fingers trembled slightly, revealing his good mood.
Cynthia knew him well and held his hand. âHow is the injury on your back?â
âIs Alston hurt?â Grandma was looking at her grandson-in-law with a smile. When she heard this, her expression changed, and she hurriedly asked the driver to take him to the hospital.
Alston quickly stopped her. âGrandma, Iâm fine.â
The two kids in the arms of Cynthiaâs uncle and aunt didnât recognize Alston at first. They just nestled in their arms obediently, looking at him with dark eyes.
It had been 10 days, and they were still young, so they couldnât remember Alston.
Alston touched their little faces, and a trace of grievance flashed in his eyes. âDonât you know your father?â
Desmond was the first to react. He recognized his father, kicked his calf excitedly, and opened his arms, wanting to be hugged by his father.
Alston was a little moved. Usually, Desmond didnât like being hugged by him. Now he recognized him before Keller and excitedly begged for a hug. It seemed that his status in his heart was not low.
Seeing that her brother was so excited, Keller wanted a hug too.
Alston hugged each of them, and Cynthia asked him to return them to her uncle and aunt. After all, Alstonâs back was hurt, so he shouldnât hold the child.
When they were chatting at the door, Lorenz ran over. âThe matter has been resolved.â
Just after Alston rescued Cynthia, Lorenz led the security guards who ran out of the restaurant subdued Tracy and the old lady and called the police.
Lorenz told the police about Tracy running into Cynthia with the car just now, and the two were sent to the police station on the charge of intentional homicide.
Tracyâs face was full of hatred, without any sign of repentance. She said that she would kill Cynthia when she came out.
For Cynthiaâs safety, Lorenz mobilized the power of the family for the first time. Tracy would not be able to get out of prison in her life.
Grandma held Cynthiaâs hand with fear on her face. âWhatâs going on? Why did that woman harm Cynthia? Cynthia just came to Coast City. How could she meet such a lunatic?â
When she was about to be hit by the car just now, Cynthia was a little scared, but now her mood had calmed down.
âWhen I went to the shopping mall with my brother before, I was embarrassed by this woman. Cain helped me out. She did a lot of evil things by relying on the George family, and Cain removed their family from the George family. Probably because of this, she has a grudge against me and wants to kill me.â
Cynthiaâs eyes were a little cold. When Tracy was dragged away that day, there was hatred in her eyes, but Cynthia didnât pay attention to it at the time. She never thought that Tracy would plan todayâs murder.
Lorenz also told the news he had found out. âSince being expelled from the George family, the people who were bullied by their family all took revenge one after another. They offended the George and Green family and were on the blacklist of various companies in Coast City, so they couldnât find any jobs. In the end, they even sold the house. Therefore, Tracy wants to kill you.â
âThat old lady is Tracyâs grandma.â
Hearing this, Cynthia pursed her lips and said, âWas I too ruthless? If I gave her a chance to survive, she would not do this.â
Seeing her guilty look, Lorenz said, âItâs not your fault. If their family hadnât done so many evil things before, they wouldnât have been retaliated against. Besides, the decision was made by Cain, and it was Cain who put pressure on other companies. You are just protecting your own rights, and you are not wrong.â
âEverything has a cause and effect.â Alston touched Cynthiaâs hair. âWe are just punishing the evil. They have done many bad things and did not leave a glimmer of life for themselves. If they were kind to others before, when they were in trouble, there would be someone helping them.â
Cynthiaâs mood improved a bit. Sometimes she was quite ruthless, but after giving birth to the children, she became more softhearted.
As Alston stroked her hair, his eyes deepened.
Cain? It seemed that when he was away, there was such a man beside Cynthia.
He just heard Lorenz and Cynthia talk about what happened in the shopping mall. Since Cain could do this for a woman he didnât know well, he must like Cynthia.
Today was Old Mr. Greenâs birthday banquet. Although this disappointing incident happened, the family banquet was still going on as usual. After Alston came, the banquet became more lively.
After chatting with Alston for a few words, Cynthiaâs grandma and aunt had a good impression of him, and they were satisfied.
The three men of the Green family were a little unhappy.
Cynthia, who had just been found, had already married Alston.
Now the three women in the family were all so enthusiastic about Alston. Besides, ever since Keller recognized Alston, she had been nestled in his arms.
They were all jealous in their hearts.
Holding a glass of wine, Cynthiaâs uncle smiled at Alston.
âAlston, letâs have a drink!â
