Chapter 34 Cut her Bridges
"Angel? What's wrong with you?" Jason lowered his voice.
Maybe the temperature of Jason's hands was too warm, Angel had a shiver.
"Jason?" Angel's voice was clear.
Angel's legs gave way and she knelt on the ground.
"Angel?" Jason wanted to help her up.
Angel took his hand and shook her head slightly. "Let me calm down," she said.
Her palms were covered with sweat.
Jason crouched down and looked Angel at the same level. "Angel, what's wrong? Let's go to the hospital."
Angel shook her head. "Palpitations," she said calmly. "I will be fine in a minute."
She closed her eyes gently and took deep breaths again and again.
There was inexplicable voice in her ears and fuzzy figure was in the eyes.
"Miss Anna sent Miss Belle to the hospital."
"Nobody was home that day."
What happened that day?
Suddenly, a warm embrace surrounded her.
"Angel."
"Brother."
When Angel woke up, she found herself in the hospital in surprise.
"Angel, don't move." A low voice sounded in the ear.
"Jason?" Angel looked Jason in surprise.
"Why are we in the hospital?
"You fainted on the playground, and I had to take you to the hospital." Jason looked at her in worry.
Angel pulled off the quilt and got out of bed. She had not had injection and seemed to be just watching.
She said, "Let's go, I am fine."
"The doctor told you to stay, Angel. Be good." Jason stopped her and put her on the bed.
Angel's face grew paler and paler. She put her cold hand on Jason's hand. "Jason, get me out of here right now, or you'll see me in a coma later." With that, she shook off Jason's hand and stumbled toward outside.
Jason had to keep up with her.
"Angel" he tried to persuade her.
Angel took hold of his arm. "Just let me go and rest in your car. I had unstable hearbeat in the hospital.
Jason agreed and carefully helped her to his car, put the seat flat and let her lie down.
Angel lay still with a cold sweat on her forehead.
Jason gently wiped her sweat and found that the breath of Angel gradually slow down.
Angel was in such a strange state.
Angel opened her eyes at last.
She slowly sat up and asked Jason to help her put the chair back. Jason handed her a bottle of water.
She took a sip and heaved a long sigh.
"Frightened by me, right?" She showed a tired but familiar smile to Jason.
Jason frowned.
Angel sighed and put her hand on his brow. "Don't frown."
Jason grasped her wrist and did not let her touch his face. This action made her like Belle.
He caught sight of teeth marks on her wrists, which were no longer visible.
Was that what she bit last time?
"Angel, why? What's the matter?" Jason looked into her eyes.
Angel looked away.
Jason stretched out another hand, pinched her lower jaw, and forced her to face him.
Angel sighed and pushed his hands aside.
"I'm sorry I scared you." Angel calmed down at last.
"Jason, five years ago, I was in a car accident from which I almost died."Angel spoke very slowly.
"When I woke up, I just knew Belle had died. I could not accept it, so I went to her home, but they had changed her room. It was curled that they erased the trace of her existence. I was angry and vomited blood, and since then I had heart palpitations.”
Angel's eyes fell on Jason's face.
He looked distressed
"There is something I don't remember. The doctor said it was a reaction to traumatic stress. I was very hostile to the hospital, so it was not easy to recover in the hospital. Later, I buried myself in the book and devoted myself to study, and I am fine. But when I came back, I found that a lot of old things would make me have it again, and this one was the worst."
Angel took a sip of water and looked out the window. "I saw Sofia the first time I came here. Dean Lane told me about her, but I didn't go to see her. Maybe she does not want to talk about the perious things too."
"Angel, what happened to Belle in those days? I investigated about it, but nothing came up." Jason said.
Angel looked at him silently.
Should she tell him?
Would he believe her?
Even if it was Jason, could he accept it?
No! It was impossible.
Angel closed her eyes. When she opened them again, everything was clear.
"Jason, I was kidnapped when I was a child, so I became an idiot. My intelligence had a problem, I didn't understand manything even if I am with Belle. Now I am sober, and I feel there was something wrong with her death, but I have no evidence, sorry." Angel's voice became low.
Jason patted her shoulder and did not speak.
Angel smiled. "Belle must wish me to be alive. If she knew if you are alive, she would be happy."
Jason looked at Angel in shock, "What did you say? Belle thought I was dead?"
Angel looked at Jason's reaction and the last doubt in her heart dissipated. She nodded gently, "Yes, Anna told her, and she really could not find you, whether in the foster family or your secret base. She wished you to be alive, even if you were to marry Anna."
"Why should I marry Anna?" Jason was confused.
Angel took a deep breath and looked at Jason, "Because your mother came to her and told her that she was not a match to her. Anna said, you have promised to marry her, and you will consider her as your sister, and she, as the daughter of the Newman family, must contribute to the Newman family, so, she had to marry William! But as soon as your family disappeared, Anna is with William again.” Said Angel slowly.
Anna had always been acquiring anything from her, but in the end, she still felt it was not enough.
So, she had to break Anna's bridge!
Human nature was the most untestable thing.
Anna had obvious intention to Jason and her means were dirty. Who knew if Jason would be fooled?
This time, she wanted to strike first. In any case, she would give Anna any chances!
Jason's voice was very cold, "I never promised to marry Anna, I never knew these things!"
A faint smile curled Angel's lips.
The price Belle paid was too high.
Jason was shocked. He never knew about these things.
He thought Belle would stand there and wait for him to come back.
She seemed to be docile, but in the heart she stubborn and persistent.
He had a lot of things he had to do, but one day he could explain them to her, and he was sure she would understand him.
He was so sure of Belle.
But unexpectedly, he no longer had a chance to explain to her.
He found her story with William, but he doubted it.
Heard that Belle tried hard to approach William, he did not believe it.
Belle was not that kind of person.
And now Anna and William was a pair of unmarried couples, and that rumor of Belle was abrupt.
Whether it was Belle was covetous her sister's fiance, or Anna got into Belle' relationship, which was unfavorable the both family.
There was a more important reason - Belle was dead.
The Newman family, in the name of Mrs. Newman, buried everything about Belle.
Angel went home, dug up the medicine he had not taken for a long time, swallowed it, and went to sleep.
She was too exhausted to think of anything. She needed a dreamless sleep to calm herself.
...
There was a reason why Hugo was called "the ghost" at M University.
If you wanted to take one of his courses and thought it was easy to get credit, it was a big mistake.
The old man was serious about teaching.
He was certainly serious about asking his students to follow him.
The students' attitude could be seen in the homework
There were weekly design assignments and monthly design assignments.
He would carefully comment on everyone's homework and tasks. If you were good, it would be much more beneficial in the future.
After all, in this industry, he was a big figure.
However, there were always a small number of people wanted to take the risk.
Three people were publicly named for their design assignments handed in last week. They were suspected of plagiarism.
Two boys, one girl.
The girl was Anna.
Hugo had never been a sentimental person.
Anna's identy was nothing to him.
So, he had no psychological burden to critize them.
The students were in an uproar.
Anna was popular, rich, beautiful and gentle. Everyone liked her.
And the two boys, Harvey Cox and Aydin Barrett, were also born in a rich family. Every one knew how they got into the university.
But no one ever dared to question them.
The old man critized them!
Aydin was the first one stood up and argued, "Professor, you said I plagiarized. Who is the original author? What was the original work like? There's got to be some basis, right?"
Hugo took a look at him, "Do you mean that I let you die for certain reason?"
Aydin could not help choking.
Anna had tears in eyes, looking innocent.
That was far more damaging than Aydin's anger.
After all, under the high pressure of Hugo, some people already disgruntled.
"Professor Jordan, why don't you tell them where it came from?"
"Yes, professor, show them."
"We respect your authority, professor, show us!"
Hugo looked around the whole class.
He was indifferent to the "public anger".
Aydin patted on the desk, "Fuck! I'm going to see the principal! Even if I can't study here, I can't bear this anger!"
As a rich young man, Aydin had many supporters.
"Aydin, we support you!!"
"Yes, yes, the professor is not a big deal! He can't wrong us?"
"Anna, stop crying. Let's go to the student affairs office. We want justice!"
"Yes, Anna, don't cry! He is bullying honest people!"
"We study from dawn to dusk. It is more tired than that we go to high school. And he still makes it difficult in homework. It's inhumane!"
"Go! Let's go to the Student Affair Office!"
"I'm quitting school!"
"Let's go to the principal!
"Anna, stop crying, we are all on your side!"
Feelings ran high and the classroom was full of noise.
Looking at these indignant students, Hugo could not help sighing and shaking his head.
Now the students were worse.
It was getting harder and harder to find talent.
They were rich, so they were arrogant.
The purpose of their study was not to improve themselves, not to learn more knowledge to equip themselves, but just get to a paper diploma.
He did not want to teach such students.
He wanted to see what the student affairs office had to say today.
Impeach him?
Good! That would great! He didn't want to teach them anyway.
The back of the classroom suddenly came clear applause.
The noisy voice suddenly turned down, and it finally left Anna crying. Anna looked back and surpressed her crying.
The room fell silent and peered at the back of the room.
Angel was wearing a more androgynous outfit today, black trousers, light blue shirt, and a black blazer draped over her shoulders. She looked like a handsome boy, if not for her long hair falling.
There was a slight sneer on her face. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she stopped clapping her hands and stood up slowly.
