Chapter 148
Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason)
Chapter 148 Picking up Someone Before he could enter, a man in a black suit walked out with a woman in his arms, incomparably cool.
âAisy!â
âHow is she? Is she alright?â
The bodyguard behind Matteo pushed him away violently. Matteo only looked at him coldly. âNot dead.â
Manuel stepped in front of him. âIâm taking her away.â
âHeh, thatâs funny. What gives you the right to say that? Why didnât you answer the phone when she called you?â Matteo said mockingly.
âI...â Manuel was speechless.
The bodyguard walked past him with Serina in his arms.
âYou know sheâs the only one who can save Serina now. Do you still want to take Serina?â Matteo said with an expressionless look.
âIâm sorry. It was my mistake.â Manuel lowered his eyes.
Matteo sneered, âThen donât say those promises in front of me again. And donât show up in front of Aisy again!â
He forcefully carried Ainsley to his car. The bodyguards separated Manuelâs steps as he tried to get closer.
Before leaving, Matteo said viciously. âYou do know who did this, donât you? Hmm?â
âDrive!â
Several black cars drove past him. Only then did he notice that many people were lying in the factory, one by one, covering their stomachs in pain.
Some had broken legs.
He walked over, lost in thought, found a man and stepped right on his arm.
âWho did this?â
âI donât know! I know nothing.â
The leather shoe stomped down hard. The sound of bones breaking came.
âAh! Iâm just a follower. I know nothing!â
Manuel found another man and repeated.
Until a man couldnât take it anymore and said, âI donât know anything, except that she just came back from abroad.â
He put his foot down and cold air pressure filled the entire plant.
The compelling breath made the man who cried out in pain at his feet dodge. Manuel turned around. The sound of leather shoes on the concrete was dull and deep.
He clenched his fist. The answer was clear, wasnât it?
City Hospital In the intensive care unit lay a woman. Her face was pale and she was being transfused.
A girl sat dumbly in front of the wall. Facing the wall, she stared at the white wall.
Ainsley woke up to see Serina facing the wall, mumbling something.
âSerina?â She called out, her voice ***and weak.
Serina didnât respond and continued to stare at the white wall in front of her.
She slowly propped herself up, removed the transfusion and walked over to Serina.
âSerina, itâs Ainsley,â she said gently.
Serina then responded, straightening up and turning to look at Ainsley. She looked dull.
She let out a sigh. Serinaâs condition had been stabilized, but now it was getting worse again.
The door opened and Matteo came over. âWhy are you out of bed?â
He was holding porridge for her and Serina.
âShe should have been sent back. But as soon as she left you, she started crying, screaming and biting.â He sighed.
Ainsley sat down at the bedside. âSheâs in bad condition.â
Matteo looked at his sisterâs face. âYouâre not in good condition either.â
She took out the bowl of porridge listlessly. It was yesterday that she was kidnapped. But that frightening feeling was still in her mind.
She didnât even know if Manuel had come since she was kidnapped. Her cell phone was confiscated by Matteo.
âMatteo, Iâm sorry. I snuck away.â She said apologetically.
If she hadnât insisted on going to Manuel, that wouldnât have happened. Matteo must have been very worried.
âDonât say that. Donât do anything stupid again.â Matteo said.
He turned and was about to leave. Ainsley called out to him and opened her mouth several times but did not speak.
Matteo knew what she wanted to ask and volunteered, âHe didnât come. He didnât answer my calls, so stop thinking about him.â
He added after a pause, âYesterday he went to the airport to pick up someone and then went to a restaurant.â
Ainsley took a deep breath and lowered her eyes.
A restaurant? Picking up someone?
So he wasnât busy. Then why didnât he answer her call?
She lost her appetite, took a sip, and went to bed to lie down. âMatteo, I got it.â
âAisy, donât contact him in the future.â
Matteo was worried about Ainsleyâs current state but wanted to tell her anyway.
âHmm.â She understood.
Even if she didnât want to admit it, she had to admit that Manuel might not like her that much.
Ainsley was napping. She was on anti-inflammatory medication.
Actually, she should have been able to leave the hospital. But Matteo didnât arranged for a few more tests before he was relieved.
agree and Serinaâs room was next to hers. Although she would come to Ainsleyâs ward as soon as she woke up, she had subconsciously regarded Ainsley as the only person she relied on.
Ainsley had been in the hospital for two days, and she had tried hypnotherapy on Serina in the past two days.
Now Serina was taking a lunch break after being hypnotized, and Ainsley was also tired and sleeping.
But she did not sleep peacefully. All she could think about were the images of the day after she was kidnapped, especially the disgusting words spoken by the men.
All around her was blood-red. She was sure she was in the dream. Why did she have such a dream?
There was the sound of a girl crying behind her. She turned around and saw that it was Serina, who was sobbing. The ground in front of her was slowly covered with bright blood. Had she appeared in Serinaâs dream?

She looked around. A woman was lying in front of Serina. But she couldnât see the face.
She just felt it was very familiar. The blood on the ground was all from this girl without a face.
She just wanted to approach Serina, but Serina had already started screaming. Unlike in reality, Serina in the dream seemed to be very resistant to her, not willing to let her get close.
âSerina, Iâm not going over there. Donât be afraid.â
Even though she knew it was just a dream, Ainsley tried to comfort Serina.
Then she heard miserable yelling. A dozen men poured in from a small room on the other side.
Her heart suddenly palpitated. It was as if someone was whispering to her in her ear. âAisy, Aisy?â
The familiar voice and the cedar scent. It was him! It was Manuel!
Ainsley opened her eyes suddenly. She saw Manuel sitting on the edge of the bed holding her hand. She subconsciously withdrew her hand.
âWhat are you doing here?â It had been a few days since he finally showed up.
Manuel stood up, smiling bitterly. âIâm sorry.â
Ainsley laughed to herself, singing, âSorry again.â She asked, âWhy did you say sorry? Is it because you didnât answer the phone or because you were indifferent in those days?â
Manuel shook his head. He didnât even know what to say.
âWhy are you silent, Manuel, is this still you? Why are you avoiding it?â Ainsley stared at Manuel closely. She couldnât understand why Manuel had suddenly become like this.
