When Lola was in a fight with others at a younger age, Zoe called in many friends to help her. As a
result, he would always go to prison for a week because he protected her.
He had always been there for her through the best and the worst days of her life. Now that she was
already strong enough, he was gone.
"Zoe..." It struck her that losing her best friend might be the most horrible thing ever.
"Lola, let him rest in peace." Thank you, Zoe!
Harry held the shivering Lola, thinking that it would be better if she did not see Zoe like this, so that she
could remember the perfect Zoe.
When they walked out of the mortuary, blood began to drip off Harry's arm again, and Lola was still
overcome with tears.
He sent her back to the ward. Her mother and grandfather both wept bitterly when they saw her very
downhearted and depressed.
Both Li family and Si family were very grateful to the life of Zoe, the young man from the Lu family!
"Take a rest, and we'll see him at his funeral." He comforted her in a reassuring voice and helped her
sit on the bed.
Lola calmed down for a moment, took the tissue Harry had handed her and wiped her eyes.
She glanced at Harry, who was wincing in pain but was trying to hide it. "Your arm is injured again. Go
take care of it or else it will be infected. I am going to be discharged today and I will go back to work
tomorrow."
Harry sat down beside her and let her face him. "Lola, stop crying. I don't want to see you in tears!"
Landon and Angie stepped out of the ward to give them space.
Lola looked at Harry and thought about Zoe again. Her tears streamed down immediately at the
thought of Zoe. "Please, just go!"
"Why are you crying again?" He frowned and gently wiped her tears with his palm.
She avoided his hand and looked out at the greenery outside the window. "From now on, you and Zoe
are no longer in my world… There's only me. I don't want to lose another man. It stings and pains me
so much."
If she was in a bad mood, no one would drink with her again.
If she wanted to go race cars, no one would keep her company.
If she couldn't reach Harry, no one would pick her up.
......
Looking at her like this, Harry felt as if countless needles were pricking his heart. He stood, walked up
to her and pulled her closer to him.
"I will stay with you for a while."
The woman withdrew from his arms and stared at him. "Harry, do you know what I want?"
He gazed at her deeply. How could he not know? What she wanted was the same as what he wanted
most, wasn't it? "I can give you anything but a marriage."
He could give her everything, heart and soul.
Hearing his words, she closed her eyes. "Please go. I will get what I want by myself! Leave me alone
now." She wanted more than his heart and she believed she could get all she wanted!
The setting sun shone on the Harry's figure through the glass and made him more noble and
extraordinary.
"I'll give you everything else that you want!"
There was no need to! She knew that he would comprise and marry Yolanda.
"Please leave! You're just making things worse!" She dropped her shoulders feebly and leaned against
the bed.
Harry really hated that he could not make the only woman that he loved happy! He hated seeing her
like this. For the first time in his life, he felt so powerless. So helpless.
He pulled her to his arms again. "Lola..."
"Go!" She raised her voice and struggled to free herself.
Why was he still here? What was he trying to prove? Lola stood to her feet and pushed him out of the
ward with all the strength left of her.
She banged shut the door of the ward and breathed a sigh of relief. She needed to be left alone to
clear her mind.
Angie and Landon watched as Lola pushed Harry out of the ward and looked at each other in surprise.
Only Lola dared to treat him like that.
"Grandpa, auntie, Lola is very emotionally unstable right now. I will see her when I am discharged from
the hospital. Please do take care of her. I beg you."
The two elders nodded at once. "We're obliged to you, Harry! Thank you for saving my daughter and
granddaughter. I will ask Lola to take Nicole and go to your house to offer our gratitude!"
Landon saw with his own eyes how Harry had saved Nicole. And how he went back to the villa and
tried to save Lola. They had seen it and were very grateful.
"Please don't mention it. Excuse me, I have to leave now!" He took one final glance at Lola's ward and
rushed into his.
He pressed the beeper to call the doctor to put a bandage on his arm.
Seeing Harry return, Yolanda promptly stood from the couch. "Harry!"
She was the only one in the ward as Kevin was not there.
"Are you all right?" Yolanda came to help him but Harry turned his face away from her.
Yolanda's eyes turned red as she watched him treat her so coldly. He had been with her for so many
years and he had never treated her like this before. She was becoming so insecure. She just wanted to
be with him. What was wrong with that? He agreed to marry her. She has every right to act like this.
What was wrong?
Fortunately, she would live through the pain just for a short time. They were going to hold a wedding in
less than three months.
……
In SL Group.
Lola sat in the deputy CEO office, busy again with work. Although she was already the acting CEO, she
didn't want to relocate her office, in case he might come back in a few days.
She was going through things the way he would and was doing what he had done.
At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.
Lola looked at her watch. It was already late. She hadn't brought any toiletries.
"I'll just head home, I guess." she thought. But it was already twelve o'clock. She did not want to cause
any unnecessary trouble. People in the villa were already fast asleep.
"Forget it, only one night!"
Lying in an armchair and overcome by fatigue, she felt uncomfortable for she had never slept on an
armchair.
At about one o'clock in the morning.
There was only a temporary lounge in the CEO office of SL Group. She cleared up her own stuff and
went to the CEO office.
It was pitch dark outside her office. She turned on the flashlight on her cellphone to guide her on the
way to the elevator.
The door of the CEO office was not locked. She pushed in and turned all the lights on. The office
instantly became bright.
His stuff had all been packed and taken away. The door of the lounge was locked.
She had gone through all the drawers but didn't find the key. She stared at the phone, hesitating to give
him a call.
In the end, she still called him.
The phone rang a few times before he picked up. She could tell from his slightly husky voice that he
had fallen asleep...
"Well, it's late, and I want to sleep in the lounge for one night, but I can't find the key..." Hearing the
woman's embarrassed voice over the phone, Harry sat up from the bed.
She had been so busy at work. She did not even bother to go home.
Of course, now that she became the acting CEO, she must be busy all day long.
... Was he too cruel to her? Did he put too much pressure on her?
"Go look in the secretary's office, see if they've put the key away."
Lola nodded and replied, "Okay." Then she hung up the phone. She was dead tired.
