My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)
Chapter 72 Beautiful Black Swan

Amy had been in hospital for half a month. But neither her husband or his family had come to see her once. Even Robin didn't show up. It disappointed Amy a lot. However, Richard stayed with her all the time. Some doctors and nurses would ask Amy if Richard was her husband.

Thanks to the best medicine, Amy's tongue had almost healed. Now she only had some difficulty speaking and eating. Other than that, she was perfectly fine.

Her doctor said that she could get discharged and rest at home, since she had started to eat liquid food, which could supply the necessary nutrition.

Robin took Amy home from the hospital. However, Amy was not happy. She treated Robin and the others as her family.

But no one came to see her when she was in hospital.

Robin was wronged. Ever since Amy was sent to the hospital, he had been very worried.

Yet he could not tell Amy what he had done, because it was Richard who asked him to do so. Anyway, Robin was relieved and happy when Richard went to take care of Amy in the hospital. Richard cared more about Amy now. Maybe it wouldn't take long for Richard to get over Allison.

Robin didn't notice Amy's sad feelings. He drove home and helped Amy into her room as usual.

Amy found that the house had changed a lot in the past half month.

The black furniture had given way to something light. It looked like full of life now.

She walked back to her room, where the changes were even greater. The curtains turned blue, and the blankets changed from black and white to pink. Also, the big bed had been changed to something made of wood. In short, they were all in colors that Amy liked.

"Mrs. Carter, how do you like it? Mr. Carter asked us to get these changed. He said that you liked these colors," Robin said to Amy.

Amy nodded. She liked it a lot. The room was full of life now. The black and white furniture would just depress her.

However, Amy remembered that she hadn't told her husband about it. How could he know that she liked these colors?

Anyway, it didn't matter. Now she knew that her husband actually cared about her. She was happy to have such a husband. Even if their marriage wouldn't last long, things he had done were enough for her to remember him forever.

"Mrs. Carter, have some rest. The tonic needs to take a while." Robin was happy that Amy was satisfied. He got the nod for his work.

Amy nodded again. She lay on the new bed. It was very soft. And the new blanket smelled so good.

Amy took off her clothes and got under the quilt. She felt like she was in someone's embrace, which made her feel at ease.

She fell asleep soon. She didn't feel worried or frightened at home. She got relaxed and had a sound sleep.

"Richard, there's a ballet competition tonight. Can you go with me?" Allison said to Richard with two tickets in her hand, looking excited.

Richard put down his pen. He had been giving Allison the cold shoulder recently. Now he thought that he could see the ballet with her. That was Allison's favorite.

"Yeah, sure." Richard smiled at Allison.

"Oh, you're so sweet. You've always been so nice to me." Allison pulled Richard's sleeve, acting pouty and flirty.

"Alright, get prepared. After work, we'll have dinner first and then see the ballet." Richard was a little touched that Allison had given up the competition for him this year. Allison had done ballet for over twenty years. She basically started learning ballet since she could walk.

"Alright, then let's go to the restaurant where we went last time. I like the food there a lot." Allison was overjoyed.

Richard still loved her very much. He knew that ballet was her life. Even if he didn't like ballet at all, he would still go with her.

Richard watched Allison leaving in a good mood. He called Robin and told him to take good care of Amy and gave her everything she wanted.

Allison changed into a white dress and put on white high heels. She let her long hair down, looking like a beautiful goddess.

And Richard was wearing a black suit. He even looked fashionable in that pink shirt.

When they arrived at the theatre, they attracted a lot of attention. Richard was handsome, and Allison was elegant. They looked like a perfect couple.

Allison held Richard's hand even more tightly. She wanted everyone to know that this outstanding man belonged to her.

On the stage, each pair of dancers showed their best performance. Allison would give comments on them as a professional and Richard would listen.

Halfway through the competition, a pair of dancers won deafening applause when they got on the stage.

The ballerina leading in this piece was dressed in a black ballet dress. It made her very different from those dancers in white. Moreover, she showed up with a fancy and difficult move. And she did it perfectly. After that, the ballerina danced to the music. Her every move was just perfect.

Even Richard, who didn't like ballet, widened his eyes and stared at the ballerina on the stage.

At the end of the song, the ballerina bowed and left. But the audience kept clapping for her.

The ballerina danced so well, but Allison did not applaud. Instead, she clenched her fists. When the ballerina left the stage, Richard stood up and walked to the backstage. "Richard!" Now Allison regretted asking Richard to come here with her.

"Stay here. I'll be right back." Richard turned around and said to Allison.

Amy, with her headwear removed, was removing her makeup in front of the mirror.

"Amy, you are amazing. It's a pity that you didn't further your study." Lea Hood, Amy's ballet teacher, was helping her with the makeup.

"Ms. Hood, you know that I don't like ballet that much. I'm into languages." A dancer got sick today, so Lea called Amy for help. And Amy came without hesitation.

Amy spoke very slowly. She did not want her teacher to replace that her tongue was hurt.

"Yeah. You also have a gift for languages. Well, everyone has his own ambition. Anyway, thank you. Let's have dinner together after the competition," Lea said to Amy. "She'll pass. She has other things to do." Richard walked behind Amy and pulled her up while she was chatting with Lea.00000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
