Chapter 26 Chapter 26 The Cruel Truth

I don't know how much time has passed, but Liu Xia suddenly heard Margaret's voice faintly coming from outside the door, "Teacher, how are you doing now? Dad said that you have had an infectious disease these days, and no one of us is allowed to approach you." There seemed to be a gleam of light in Liu Xia's eyes, she hurried to the door and whispered, "No, Margaret, I'm not sick. Your father locked me here." "Dad, he likes you so much, why did he lock you up here?" Margaret didn't seem to understand. "Because... I did something that made your father unhappy, so he got angry." Liu Xia calmed down and quickly made up a reason that could be accepted by the other party.

"How could this be?" Margaret was a little surprised, and then said "Oh, no wonder I see that Dad seems to be very unhappy these two days. It turns out that you made him angry." She thought for a while, and immediately gave up. Xia came up with an idea, "You say more good things, and then you'll be fine if you act like a baby. Every time I make my father angry, this trick works very well." "But the mistake I made this time... your father didn't forgive me so easily," Liu Xia sighed, "Actually, I have already thought of a way to make up for it, but your father locked me up, and I can't go out, what? I can't. I really don't know what to do, maybe your dad will never forgive me."

Margaret was silent outside the door for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Teacher, if you can go out, can you make Dad forgive you?" Liu Xia seemed to think for a moment, and then asked hesitantly, "Margaret, if I say I can, will you help me?" After saying this, her palms were already covered with cold sweat.I'm sorry, Margaret, please forgive her for lying, but it's the only way she can think of at the moment. There was another silence outside the door.Just when Liu Xia thought there was no hope, she heard her say, "Okay, I'll help you. But I just don't want to see my father so unhappy." Although Margaret had a lot of thoughts, in the end After all, he is only an eight-year-old child, so he still seems to choose to believe Liu Xia's words.

"Thank you, Margaret..." Liu Xia was so excited that she didn't know what to say. "There are two keys here, one is in the hands of Dad, and the other should be in Lisa's hands. I will try to steal the keys when she is sleeping. You wait for me here." Marge Ritter left after speaking. Liuxia has been anxiously waiting for Margaret's arrival. On the one hand, she is worried about whether she can get the key smoothly, and on the other hand, she feels guilty for using her.Tormented by such contradictory feelings, she finally heard Margaret's voice as light as a mosquito again.

"Teacher, are you there?" She suddenly cheered up, "I'm here!" Margaret didn't say anything more, and quickly and carefully opened the door for her, and specifically told her, "Teacher, you have to come back quickly. Now that Dad happened to be out on business, you should take this opportunity to go quickly." Go about your business." Liu Xia thanked her, and impatiently walked downstairs. "Teacher," Margaret called her again suddenly, "you must make Dad happy again, and don't make him angry anymore." Liu Xia stopped in her tracks, just nodded and continued walking forward.

She didn't have the courage to look back, let alone meet the trusting emerald eyes of the other party. Apart from saying sorry again from the bottom of her heart, she didn't know what to do to make her feel better. As soon as he got out of the gate of the castle, Liu Xia used the public phone beside the road to call Paul, the captain of the Roman team. After asking which hospital Toto was in, he immediately hired a taxi and went straight there. At this moment, the private Julian Hospital in Rome, where Toto stayed, was already crowded with reporters and fans. Except for some relevant personnel, other idlers were not allowed to enter, and there was no way for Liu Xia to squeeze in.When she tried to contact Paul again, the other party's mobile phone was always busy.

In desperation, Liu Xia had no choice but to climb over the wall through the back door and enter the hospital by a not-so-legal means. At the door of the VIP ward on the twelfth floor, Liu Xia met the coach of the Roma team, captain Paulo and other players.In order to avoid trouble, she temporarily stayed in the emergency passage, and only carefully slipped into Toto's private ward after all those people had left. Toto's eyes were slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep exhausted.That handsome face was as pale as paper, and the thin lips were bloodless, and there was no trace of life at all.The man who was originally as energetic as the morning sun can only lie helplessly on the hospital bed...

This huge contrast made Liu Xia feel a strong heartache, and she couldn't help but shed tears. Her eyes fell on his injured leg again, and she saw that it was covered with thick gauze and plaster, and it seemed that it would not recover in a short time.Just when Liu Xia was about to be unable to restrain the flood of sadness, she suddenly saw Toto open his eyes. Toto didn't seem surprised by Liuxia's appearance, but murmured, "I must be dreaming again, Liuxia." Liu Xia hurriedly turned her head to the side, wiped away the hot liquid seeping from the corners of her eyes, and then turned her face to him with a gentle smile, "Toto, I am the one who came to see you. How is your leg...how is it?" ?”

"The doctor said it was a fracture of the calf and fibula," Toto lowered his eyelids, "he needs to rest at home for three months." "After that three months, you can participate in the competition again, right?" Liu Xia felt a little relieved after hearing his words.Although the injury is serious, it will not ruin his career. "Yes..." His voice sounded dull, as if he was suppressing some low emotions, "But Liu Xia, I may not have time to participate in the World Cup qualifiers." There was another burst of suffocating pain in Liuxia's chest, of course she understood what this meant to Toto.

Participating in the World Cup and leading the Italian team to win the Hercules Cup is the greatest dream in his life, and it is the ultimate brilliance of all the lights in his long football career. But now, this dream may be about to burst like foam on the sea... "Toto, you're too pessimistic." She took a few steps forward and deliberately put on a relaxed tone, "There are still several months before the qualifiers, maybe you can recover well by then. " "I'm afraid that after three months, my condition will not recover so quickly." Toto sighed softly, "Do I have to wait another four years? How many more years can I play?"

"Whether it's this time, or the next four years, or the next four years, I will cheer for you." She looked at him with gentle but firm eyes, "The one who will do his best as long as he is on the court Toto, you will not give up so easily. The road to your dream is often full of bumps and thorns, and no one will predict what will happen. This road is difficult, but we don’t have to be afraid, because we can see Meraviglia .” Toto's body trembled slightly, "Meraviglia?" "Yes, miracles." She smiled, "Didn't you say that? There are miracles in this world. As long as we don't lose our confidence and hope, God will definitely let us see miracles." "Liuxia..." His eye circles were slightly red, "I understand, after three months, I will definitely let Liuxia see a miracle." Liu Xia nodded heavily, "I will look forward to it, Toto." After visiting Toto and walking into the elevator of the hospital, Liu Xia felt that her mood seemed much lighter.The previous anxiety and tension seemed to have been replaced by a hopeful expectation. He must make her see that miracle. She was deeply convinced of this without any doubt. Maybe it was because he thought things too seriously, and when Liu Xia came to his senses, he found that the elevator had already descended to the underground parking garage.She shook her head helplessly, and just as she was about to press the door close button again, her gaze happened to pass by a silver Bentley inadvertently. Didn't expect such an expensive car to exist here... Wait?Silver Bentley? Although there are cars of the same model, after all, she has been in close contact with it every day, so Liu Xia recognized at a glance that it was a Bentley that only belonged to Alfonso. Strange, why is his car here?By the way, didn't Margaret say that he had something to go out?Then the person driving the car should be me?Liu Xia didn't have time to think about it, she subconsciously walked out of the elevator, took a closer look at the car again, and was even more sure that it was Alfonso's car.She looked around the garage, but there was no one around.So what is Alfonso here for?Could it have something to do with Toto? Thinking of this dangerous relationship, she couldn't help becoming nervous, and hurriedly retreated to the elevator, and returned to the floor where Toto's ward was located. The ward was quiet, and Toto had already rested, and no one seemed to disturb him. Liu Xia gently closed the door, feeling more and more puzzled, unable to figure out Alfonso's intention at all.Just when she was at a loss, she suddenly saw a familiar figure flashing into the elevator next to her. this figure... She was startled suddenly, this figure was very similar to Emma... and the number of the elevator didn't stop until it reached the top floor... Things seem to be going in an even weirder direction. If it's Emma, ​​shouldn't she visit Toto first?So what are you doing in a hurry to go to the rooftop on the top floor? unless…… Her eyes suddenly lit up, unless -------- there was someone she wanted to see on the roof! Could it be... Thinking of Alfonso's Bentley, Liu Xia suddenly came up with a hypothesis that even she couldn't believe, but she quickly shook her head and rejected her own idea. Instead of guessing here and there, it is better to see what happened. Thinking of this, Liu Xia walked into the elevator again, and decisively pressed the floor button on the top floor. In the hospital, there was hardly anyone on the top floor.And there is an inconspicuous door on the small stairs leading from the top floor to the roof.When Liu Xia cautiously pushed open the door, she really heard Emma's voice. "Mr. Alfonso, why did you ask me to meet here?" Emma hesitated and whispered, "You know, there are reporters everywhere in front of the hospital." After hearing what she said, Liu Xia couldn't help but be surprised, so her idea turned out to be true?Is it really Alfonso that Emma wants to meet?What exactly is going on?How could these two seemingly unrelated people have an intersection? Alfonso's voice sounded low, even though he lowered his tone, he still sounded so elegant and charming, "When the reporters are all concerned about Toto's injury, this place will become the safest dead end .” "If I'm not wrong, Mr. Alfonso, you are also very concerned about Toto's injury, so you made an appointment to meet me here." Emma looked at him meaningfully, "But no matter what his injury is , I think Gong Liuxia will never come back to him again." Suddenly hearing his name from her mouth, Liu Xia couldn't help pricking up his ears curiously, and listened more carefully. "So what's going on between you and Toto now?" he asked again suddenly. "I have exhausted my methods and followed what you said, but he doesn't seem to want to accept me and the child." Emma sighed, "Now I don't know what to do." Alfonso seemed a little displeased, "I have created many opportunities for you, so you still can't catch his heart?" "I'm sorry, Mr. Alfonso. When you came to me to join forces, I also thought that as long as you separated Toto and Miyaruka, you would be able to achieve your goal. You get your Miyaruka, and I get mine. .But now it seems that it may not be so easy..." "So now that he's injured, isn't it your best chance?" Alfonso said coldly, "I don't think I need to teach you anything." "I know, I will seize this opportunity." Emma couldn't help but put her hand on her abdomen, "As long as I have this child, I still have a bargaining chip to compete for." "This is the best. Only when you and Toto are together can Liuxia really give up." Alfonso said lightly. Emma suddenly laughed, "If that girl knows that you are responsible for all the coincidences, how will she react?" Alfonso raised his eyebrows noncommittally, but did not speak. The truth was like a bucket of cold water, pouring her head on and bewildered.Liu Xia suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill, and her eyes became blurry for some reason. She slowly closed the door with trembling hands, and then recalled it bit by bit in her mind... When he first discovered Toto and Emma's secret, he sent her to the abandoned parking lot. The time Toto got drunk and misunderstood her, he was the one who shielded himself from the heavy rain. When Toto came to look for her that night, he also came to visit her by such a coincidence... I never noticed it before. It turns out that there are really so many coincidences.It turned out that he was by his side every time something happened. It turned out that I was so stupid. Liu Xia didn't know how she left there, she only knew that when she came to her senses again, she was already standing on the street outside the hospital.After taking a deep breath, she flagged a taxi back to the castle.Every drop of blood in the body seems to be rolling, but the heart is as cold and calm as the ice and snow in winter. She doesn't want to care about anything now, she doesn't want to care about anything, her only thought is to pack up her things and leave that place as soon as possible. She is no longer able to protect anyone. It was late when we got back to the castle, and Margaret seemed to have been waiting for her.As soon as she stepped into her room, this little guy came out from nowhere, "Great, teacher, you are finally back. I have been worried about being discovered by Lisa. Have you finished what you need to do?" ?” Liu Xia just nodded and didn't speak. "Then I'll lock the door again? That way Dad won't find out that you've gone out." Margaret shook the key in her hand. "No need." Liu Xia tried to make her tone sound similar to usual, "I don't think there is any need for it." Margaret was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled happily, "I see, because Dad will forgive you, right?" Liu Xia twitched the corner of her mouth lightly, this may be the most fake smile in her life. After coaxing Margaret back to the room, she began to pack her things.Maybe other things don't matter, but those her sketching exercise books, class notes, and drawing experience records are all very important things to her. Even if she leaves, she must take them with her. Liu Xia finished packing her things as quickly as possible, and before she was about to leave, she suddenly saw the flower god on the cabinet, and couldn't help feeling another wave of ups and downs. I don't know if I will have the chance to see this favorite work of hers again in the future. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but stepped forward to take a few more glances.The warm golden color used by Titian is so beautiful, as if the soft halo of heaven flowed out from the nimble pen tip, which made her feel a bit of warmth in her cold heart. Goodbye, Titian.Goodbye, Flora. Goodbye to everything here. "I don't remember ever allowing you to leave here." A deep voice suddenly came from behind with a kind of oppressive force. Liu Xia's body trembled slightly, and she slowly turned her head.Alfonso, who was dressed in black, was leaning against the door, looking at her coldly.His face seemed to be covered with a layer of lifeless gray, and there was a terrible dark red in his water green eyes, as if bright red blood would flow out at any moment.The black hair fluttered in the wind, like a ghost in hell stretching out a hand full of resentment... "I'm leaving here, Alfonso." She raised her head and looked him in the eyes. "I can't bear it any longer, and I don't want to submit to your threats any longer." "Is that why you want to leave here? Liu Xia?" He took two steps forward, his whole body was shrouded in deep shadow, making him look even more dangerous, "Since you came here, I have treated you You should be very clear about how. If you don’t like the food here, okay, I’ll hire you a Chinese chef. If you like the Flower Goddess, okay, I’ll exchange it with one-third of the proceeds from this bidding project. Just Even we live under the same roof, I have been patient and did not force you, I always want to wait until the day you are willing..." He sneered again, "So these are nothing to you!" "Alfonso!" She shook her head, and finally shouted as if she lost control, "Stop being hypocritical! I heard the conversation between you and Emma! It's you, it's you who sabotaged All of this! It is you who made our misunderstanding worse, it is you! Alfonso, you are terrible!" At the end, she almost roared out like venting. Surprise flashed across Alfonso's face, but it was replaced by sullenness, "So you went to the hospital today? Who allowed you to see him?" Liu Xia looked at him angrily, "Yes, I have been to the hospital. I really thank God, otherwise how would I know all this, and how would I know that you are more despicable than I imagined!" "Yes. All this has something to do with me." He didn't intend to deny it, "Do you still remember seeing Toto and Emma when I sent you home? I immediately sent someone to investigate that day, and they were quickly found The previous relationship between the two. It happened that Emma was pregnant with his child, so I asked her to meet, and you should be clear about what happened after that." He said, his eyes became gentler again, "As for me Why do you do so many things, Liu Xia, you should understand. I don’t think there is any need to explain.” "Understood, of course I understand." Liu Xia suddenly sneered, with a hint of sarcasm mixed in his tone, "You do this because you love me. Heh, it's like the heroine in a romance novel. Then shall I Do you want to be moved by your love like the heroine? But I'm sorry, you can compete openly and generously if you really love someone. This way can only show that Mr. Alfonso, you are too unconfident. As for your love, I can't believe it and I can't bear it." "Really?" Alfonso laughed angrily, "Then it seems that maybe I should use actions to prove something." In the next moment, Liu Xia didn't know how she was thrown heavily on the bed by the other party. When she came back to her senses, the other party's whole body was already firmly and powerfully covered... The rapid secretion of adrenaline made Liuxia feel a cramp-like tension. She opened her eyes wide in shock, but only saw his black hair scattered in front of her, and couldn't see anything else clearly... Those predatory lips sealed her low cry at once, and easily entered her slightly opened mouth to wreak havoc at will, sucking her lips fiercely, not giving her any chance to breathe. Liu Xia tried her best to throw her head back, trying to avoid his attack, but at the same time was looking for a chance to break free from his restraint.When he paused for a moment, she pushed him away with all her strength!But just when he wanted to escape from the bed, he quickly dragged him back and threw him on the soft bed again! "My Liuxia, what are you afraid of? I am proving to you my love for you." His smile was more evil and frightening than a demon.Without any explanation, he stretched out his hand and squeezed her jaw tightly, not giving her another chance to avoid it, and kissed her deeply again.At the same time, his other hand swam into her chest like a poisonous snake, and unscrupulously invaded her more sensitive parts... No... no... this time is different from before.Liu Xia's body trembled slightly, she felt an unprecedented panic, she struggled like crazy, trying to break free from his confinement with both hands and feet.But it was useless, the more she struggled, the more she attracted the other party's further invasion... His offensive became more and more violent, just like his growing anger, as if he wanted to use his hands, his lips, His everything to crush this little woman who made him so angry... Stop...stop... Her eyes were blurred, and the only thing that kept recurring in her mind was this sentence. She didn't want, didn't want to lose such a precious thing like this.That's something even Toto never gave... "Do you still want to leave me? Liuxia? Do you want to say such hateful words from your mouth again?" He oppressed her with a conqueror's attitude, but there was no pleasure in his heart, only deep Deep helplessness and loss, as if he could only tell her in this way, don't leave, don't leave, don't leave! I didn't want her to escape, so I tried my best to imprison her. I didn't want her to say those hurtful words, so I sealed it tightly with my own lips. Is this the entanglement of loving and being loved?Because he couldn't get a response, he chose to take a too extreme method... No matter what, no matter what method he uses, he just needs to keep her!
