###Chapter 446 A Fight for Love

Krista Astley committed suicide because she was badly hurt, and they've even ruined her face.

No wonder Brad Silverman would want to destroy me with sulfuric acid. He disdained to hurt me in the same way as Krista Astley. He wants me dead.

"But those people are no enemies to you. But why do they have to be so ruthless? Even if there was a grudge, how big a grudge can be?", Jordan continued.

He shook his head and sighed slightly then said, "During that time the capital was in chaos, and there were so many innocent girls like Krista Astley. Andrew Biden was so powerful that he was eager to wash white and kicked most of the poor people out of the game. To discredit the Biden family, they learned that Andrew Biden's daughter had been lost for many years and was a teenage woman. So, they specifically targeted those girls who walked alone, and their means were extremely cruel."

I thought that it was unreasonable and for a moment I got a little angry and responded, "How could they even do that?".

"It was because of what happened to Krista Astley that time, that Andrew Biden later kept a low profile in looking for his daughter, he later asked questions privately instead of blatantly looking for her.", he continued.

I now understood why Brad Silverman has all the reasons to be furious with Jordan Astley's for not answering the phone that day and did not rush to save Krista Astley. Any woman who suffered such damage, even if she survived would not have the courage to go on and not to mention that her face was severely destroyed.

Because of this, Krista Astley chose to commit suicide. For Krista Astley, it was a relief. But for Brad Silverman and Jordan Astley, it was a disaster that can never be forgotten in a lifetime.

We were silent all the way when we went back to the hospital. The doctor examined Jordan Astley and found no problem with his injury. Andrew Biden booked us a flight back to the capital. Erin was incredibly happy and made a lot of delicious food that day.

Over the past few days, Andrew Biden and Erin ate with us every day in the hospital. In Erin's words, that when we ate together it was fun and sweet.

Over the past few days, I have eaten more than usual, and I felt I had put on weight.

After dinner, Erin said, "The day after tomorrow on New Year's Eve, I asked Mrs. Bradley to prepare and buy us all the dishes. I have told her on St. Patrick's Day in Primrose, that I'd like to eat egg rolls and pork belly with plump vegetables for dinner on New Year's Eve. These are what Mrs. Bradley is best at."

At this point, she looked at Jordan Astley with the same smile on her face and said, "Jordan, what would you like to eat in Hempstead?". Jordan paused slightly, probably because of our discussion during the day. He was emotionally unstable and silent all this time. He was so distracted that Erin can't seem to understand why he didn't respond.

Jordan Astley raised his hand and turned to me slightly, I looked back at him. He was at a loss. He looked at me again and confusedly said, "What's the matter?".

Erin smiled awkwardly and said, "Jordan, I was asking if there is anything special that you want to eat when we arrive on Hempstead for St. Patrick's Day?".

He shook his head and said faintly, "Not that I can think of, I'm fine with the usual." Erin was surprised by his response, she stopped asking him any more questions.

After a meal, the original happy atmosphere became a little awkward since Jordan Astley had something on his mind.

Because he was about to return to the capital, Jordan Astley had no problem now getting in and out of the bed. Erin and Andrew Biden went back to the hotel. I stayed in the hospital with Jordan Astley.

I sat in silence while reading a book while I waited for Jordan to finish a phone call. It took about half an hour when he turned off his phone and frowned slightly. He took the book out of my hands, looked at me, and said, " Felix Stewart has found the best ointment. Let's go back and use it. It should be all right soon." Noticing that his eyes fell on my face, I realized that he was talking about my scar.

I shook my head and smiled, "It's all right, it doesn't matter." He raised his hand with extra tenderness.

While I hold him, I said, "The doctor will come and change the dressing in a minute, and then you can have a rest."

He smiled and pulled me into his arms and said, "I'm almost better so don't worry." How can I not worry when his back had such a big scar, it's visible and will leave a mark?

Thinking of what happened earlier that day, I couldn't help to look sideways at him and said, "Are you worried about Brad Silverman?"

He was stunned for a moment and shook his head slightly. "No, I said hello at the prison, and nothing is going to happen."

I nodded and somehow looked at him and asked, "Erin and Andrew said that if you don't want to go to the capital, we can just tell them."

He frowned and looked at me with surprise the said, "Why did they say that all of a sudden?".

After I thought about it, I said, "Although Krista Astley has nothing to do with the Biden family, she did have an accident because of the Biden family. I can understand that you would feel bad for the Biden family. I know that life is so short and that I don't want you to be embarrassed by yourself."

He laughed and said, "Ivelle, if we carry the pains from the past all the time, then the next lifetime will be very difficult." I wanted to respond but the doctor came in.

After examining his wound and other conditions, the doctor said, "The scar has formed a scab so it's no longer a big problem. If it itches one of these days, try not to scratch it with your hands otherwise it will hurt the wound and affect your recovery."

I nodded and the nurse brought me some lists of ointments that we needed to buy after Jordan was discharged from the hospital. From Medford to the capital, it took only four hours of flight time.

Back to the villa, a group of people was waiting at the door of the villa. Alice Astley was the first among them to pull Jordan Astley and ask his situation.

Andrew Biden and Erin looked at me and hesitated for a moment, before she said, "Ivelle, it's going to be New Year's Eve soon. You and Jordan are not lively at all. If you are afraid and want to run away, your father and I will always come by your side, okay?"

"You should ask Jordan instead, I responded.

Erin looked at Andrew Biden and seemed to ask him what I meant. Andrew Biden looked at me and his voice sank, said, "This year are together we should watch a film. Zayn Heather is also here everything seems lively."

I slightly pursed my lips and was not in a hurry to say yes. I looked up to Alice Astley, who was pulling Jordan Astley, and asked him questions from east to west.

A bit later, a black land rover came slowly inside the villa, which was Kian Hastings's car.

When the car stopped, he was the first to get out of the car and went to Jordan Astley. I looked at between the two brothers. Kian spoke cautiously and said in a muffled voice, "Is everything, all right?"

Jordan Astley nodded and said, "It's all right!"

He knew about Medford. He was a person with who Jordan had been together for several years and everyone knows how close they are.

A group of other people entered the hall. Alice Astley seemed to be in the villa all the time. Took care of everything, she seemed to have settled down very well.
