Chapter 34 It Hurt So Much
Alston paused. This was the first time that Cynthia expressed her attachment to him after the
kidnapping.
Just as he was about to speak, Hulda suddenly tugged at his skirt and looked at him tenderly, “Alston, I
have a lot of things to say to you, too.”
Alston frowned for a while and said coldly to Cynthia, “If you are afraid, go to the central hospital, or I
can ask Helen to accompany you in the Smith family…”
“No need!” Cynthia was disappointed and left without waiting for him to finish.
Even though she risked her life to find him, he might be more satisfied with Hulda’s hypocritical care.
She walked away with her head held high, as if this would save her self–esteem.
Lucien was there all the time, he pushed Alston and winked at him, asking him to chase Cynthia.
Alston glanced at him and said coldly, “Something’s wrong with your eyes?”
Lucien was irritated by Alston, they had known each other since childhood. His old man often told him
to learn from Alston. Alston was not only good at studying, he also brought family business back to
normal and made it a front runner in the industry after becoming the family’s heir.
As brilliant as he was, Alston just didn’t know how to handle relationships with others.
He’s used to the sense of control, even in a relationship. He liked to guide and take responsibility,

Now that Cynthia had left, Lucien could only shake his head. Alston would definitely regret this.
“You must be Lucien Williams of the Williams Group!” Hulda screamed as he was thinking.
Lucien nodded with a poker face. Having grown up among women, he could tell instantly who Hulda
was
when he looked at her.
While she managed to put on a gorgeous mask, he could still see ambition and flattery in her eyes.
“You must be an idiot to like this woman when you have way better choice.” He whispered to Alston

against him.
Alston was surprised that he could see who Hulda truly was.
Their nonchalant attitude totally annoyed Hulda.
After leaving the airport, Cynthia took a taxi directly to the central hospital.
Lynn was already asleep when Cynthia got there.
Cynthia was in a trance looking at her quietly.
Alston was gentle to her in Orleans and on their flight back. But he became a completely different man,
keeping distance from her ever since they met Hulda. She couldn’t understand why he would treat her
like
this.
Maybe she’s just a substitute for Hulda.
But she had said that she would divorce him and let Hulda marry him. Why was he still angry?
If Cynthia hadn’t heard him say she was just a substitute, she thought he really liked her.
Lynn was in a daze, feeling that there was a person sitting in front of the hospital bed. Years of
imprisoned
life made her instantly alert and awake.
Cynthia quickly patted her on the back and whispered, “Mom, don’t be afraid, it’s me!”
“Cynthia, you’re back.” Lynn breathed a sigh of relief, turned on the light, and saw Cynthia’s face,
“You… why are you crying? Did Alston hurt you?”
Cynthia quickly wiped the tears from her face and forced a smile, “Mom, I’m fine. I accidentally kicked
the
table in the dark just now, and it hurt so much!”
In my heart!
As she spoke, tears fell uncontrollably. Lynn quickly hugged her in her arms, “Look at you, you were
always so
careless. If you can’t see, just turn on the light…”
Cynthia felt warm while listening to her. It’s good to be around mother.

Lynn knew that she went to Orleans to see Alston today, and wondered why she came to the hospital
alone at night, fearing something happened to Alston.
Cynthia buried her face in her mother’s arms and said sullenly, “He’s fine.”
He might still be with Hulda, feeling good.
Rumours began to spread that Alston was killed when Orleans was hit by earthquake, and he lost
contact. with Greg. Troublemakers who had been hiding all showed up.
Alston had people reliable enough to observe everything for him.
Alston didn’t finish dealing with all of them until the next morning.
He sat at his desk in exhaustion, looking at a message received on his mobile phone.
“Doctor Carter has already taken the flight to Fort and will arrive at 4 pm.”
Attached is a medical report of Lynn.
With this message, Alston finally had an excuse to talk to Cynthia. He couldn’t help calling her
immediately.
Cynthia just woke up and picked up the phone in a daze, “Hello…”
Her soft voice drove away all his exhaustion, Alston’s cold eyes gradually became gentle.
“How did you sleep last night?”
When she heard Alston’s voice, Cynthia stopped yawning. She held the cellphone tightly.
She said meaningfully, “It doesn’t matter if I slept well last night. You must have had a sound sleep!”
