Arabella stood at the entrance of the alley and waited for two hours without seeing the person who asked her out.

Suddenly,her phone vibrated,she hurriedly took it out and found that it was Ezra calling,she thought for two seconds then hung up. When Ezra called again,Arabella was annoyed and blacklisted Ezra's cell phone number.

This series of operations had just been completed when I received a call from Noah.

"Noah,what's up?"Arabella inquired suspiciously as she picked up the phone.

Noah hardly ever talks to her directly on the phone, only the occasional text message conversation, unless something very urgent happens.

Arabella had a moment of worry,she had been panicking since a while ago,always worried that something had happened, and this feeling was even stronger when she saw Noah's phone call. "Ezra come to the hospital quickly,Arthur he passed away."

With a heavy tone in his voice, Noah told Arabella the news.

"What did you say?"Arabella's eyes drifted off for a moment, and for a moment she thought she had heard wrong.

"Ezra's grandfather Arthur passed away half an hour ago."Noah repeated the message from earlier.

Arabella held her phone dumbly,her whole body frozen in place.

Arabella couldn't believe what she heard.When she went to the hospital, Arthur was still alive and everything seemed to be going in the right direction, how come in just two or three hours, Arthur was gone?

Tears gradually filled her eyes,and Arabella's hand was holding the phone so hard that she wanted to crush it.

"Arabella,are you listening? Are you okay?"Noah waited for a long time,did not hear Arabella's response,called out anxiously.

"No way, Noah you don't fool me,today is not April Fool's Day,don't make jokes,such jokes are not funny at all."

Arabella's voice was tinged with sobs as she forced herself to calmly say to Noah, refusing to believe the news Noah had just told her.

"Arabella,why don't you come over to the hospital first."Noah was silent on the other end of the phone for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes,Arthur must be lying well in the hospital,l will go to the hospital to see it and find out."Arabella's voice was very low,as if she was talking to Noah,and also as if she was talking to herself,and hung up the phone directly after she finished without waiting for Noah's reaction.

Noah's words seemed to remind Arabella,and she hung up the phone,stopped a car on the side of the road and sped off towards the hospital.

Arabella's legs were unsteady when she got out of the cab,and she almost fell down.Arabella didn't care about that,she ran as fast as she could in the direction of Arthur's ward.

Arthur was the best person in the entire James family for her,and if she had any attachment to the family,it would be Arthur.

Arabella's mind was in turmoil,she couldn't accept Arthur's death and relied on faith to force her way to the hospital,a faith that drove her to run to the floor where Arthur's ward was located.

Just as she was about to approach Arthur's ward, she stopped and moved over almost one step at a time,and Arabella felt her heart about to jump out of her throat.

The closer she got to the ward,the greater the fear and certainty grew in her mind.

The cordon at the entrance of the ward,and the police officers going in and out,all these made her feel afraid.

Just now in the cab she was able to deceive herself,now she can't deceive her heart anymore.

Just as Arabella was about to approach the ward,a tall figure suddenly blocked her path.

Arabella,her eyes blurred with tears, lifted her head and tried to open her eyes wide to see the person in front of her face.

She just looked up when she heard a crisp slap.

"Pop-"

Arabella only felt a hot pain on her cheek,her eyes went black and her head started to get dizzy,she almost couldn't stand up,but finally she held on to the wall of the corridor to stabilize her body from falling down. Without waiting for Arabella to understand what was happening,she was choked hard and pinned to the wall of the corridor.

She felt breathless and finally saw who the person in front of her really was.

Ezra is looking at Arabella with a fierce and angry face,the dark stallion in his eyes, almost overflowing with his eyes.

Ezra's hands are bruised from choking Arabella,and he is trying to control the force for fear of choking Arabella to death directly.

"Why can you be so cruel, Arthur was so good to you, how can you do it to get him killed!"Ezra stared hard at Arabella, his voice hoarse and dry, his tone filled with a mixture of anger and sadness. Arabella looked at Ezra with horror and love,the pain in her cheek was nothing at this point,it was more the words that Ezra said that shocked her to the core.

Arabella looked at Ezra with wide eyes, she opened her mouth to explain, but Ezra choked her so she couldn't make a sound.

Arabella put her hands on Ezra's choking hands and tried to break free from Ezra's grip,lack of oxygen made her unable to use an ounce of strength.

Arabella Gradually Arabella struggled less and less,she found it more and more difficult to breathe,that suffocating feeling of losing oxygen.

For a moment, Arabella seemed to see Arthur smiling at her from in front of her.She reached out to pull Arthur in,but she didn't have the strength to lift her hand.

Ezra watched as Arabella's struggle grew smaller and smaller,and the glow in her bright eyes was fading,the scarlet in her eyes fading as he let go of his hand. Arabella's body lost its support and fell straight to the ground,she breathed heavily and breathed in the long-lost fresh air.

Arabella's heart was bitter,was this what it felt like to be close to death?

"Don't act pathetic here,I won't pity you in this state,you murderer."Ezra's voice rang out above Arabella's head,cold with a heavy depression.

Arabella looked up at Ezra with teary eyes as she inquired in shock and disbelief,"What do you mean,what murderer?"

W hen Ezra saw Arabella's appearance,the anger he had just suppressed rose to his chest again,and he took a brooch out of his pocket and held it up to Arabella's face.

The brooch was the first gift Ezra gave to Arabella,and the pink stones on it had fallen to the floor and broken during the last argument.

And this brooch should have been thrown away long ago,when Ezra found it.

Arabella still looked at Ezra in confusion and bewilderment,and did not explain more or admit it.

Ezra suppressed his anger and pulled a pouch out of his other pocket,this one containing pink gems that happened to form a full heart with the missing part of the brooch.

"This is your brooch, and this gem is also the gem on your brooch."All emotion was lost in Ezra's hoarse voice, only grimness.

Arabella didn't know what Ezra meant,but as far as she was looking at this thing, it would be the long discarded brooch,and nodded gently.

"This gem was dropped under Arthur's hospital bed with your fingerprints on it, what else do you have to say?"

Ezra's voice was unusually grim,especially the moment he saw Arabella nod, he suppressed the urge to choke Arabella again.

Arabella finally slowly stood up from the ground and reached over to take the two bags in Ezra's hand, but Ezra held them up high and didn't hold them.

Arabella's arm paused for a moment,then retracted, her eyes gradually regaining their clarity.

Arabella did not just panic,she gently stroked the fallen hair,raised her eyes straight to Ezra,pink lips slightly open,with a trembling voice, but very clear," This is not what I did,Arthur is the only pair of me good in this family,I even want him to become my pro Arthur,and how will go to hurt him."

Arabella looked at Ezra with stubbornly open eyes, and although her eyes were filled with tears, Arabella tried to keep them from dripping.

Ezra also gazed deeply at Arabella, his pupils reflecting the stubborn and resigned look of Arabella,who still had a look of determination in her.

Ezra's heart wavered,just now the feeling of anger,in this moment are deflated.

"Ezra,don't take her word for it!"Beth suddenly appeared at the two men's side at some point and shouted just as Ezra was almost about to falter over Arabella's defense.

Arabella and Ezra both froze for a moment, both looking at Beth in a complicated way, before either could say anything.

Beth spoke again,"I passed by the door of my sister's room the other day and heard her talking inside,and she said........she said......

Beth's eyes hesitated and she took a step backwards, looking to Arabella with some fear and then to Ezra with some help.

Ezra looked straight at Beth, his voice hoarse beyond words, but his voice was extremely low:"Say what?"

"She said,Ezra,you killed Aden,and she wants you to try losing your flesh and blood too!"Beth quickly finished this sentence, and then looked at Arabella's position in horror,her voice trembling pleading:"Sister,I was passing by accidentally heard,you do not blame me!"

Arabella couldn't believe her ears,she looked at Beth in a complicated way,watched her lips open and close,she tried to defend herself,opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound.

"What else did she say?"Ezra glanced coldly at Arabella and took a step forward, asking Beth again.

Ezra's voice was heavily suppressed, he was controlling his anger,at this point Ezra was like a volcano,ready to erupt.

"She also said that because you wouldn't divorce no matter what,she had to use this revenge......"

Beth took a step back and once again looked at Arabella in horror before she bowed her head and shuddered, only to be interrupted by Ezra before her words could be spoken.

"That's enough,don't say anymore!"Ezra bellowed, stopping Beth's then desire to continue.

The main man turned around and took a step forward and approached Arabella. He looked at Arabella with hatred as if he was a demon from hell,full of murderous aura.

Arabella could not help but take a step back,she looked at Ezra's appearance,shaking her head with tears in her eyes could not hold back any longer and opened her mouth to explain:"It's not me,I did not say such things, Ezra you have to believe me!" "Sister things have come to this point, Ezra have come up with evidence,you can still be lightly punished if you turn yourself in,I beg you to sober up a little."Beth also carefully took a step forward and spoke.
