Mikhail walked to the other side of the pool and approached the sobbing woman from behind.He hugged her back and tried to calm her down.
He kissed her head and then her neck.
Belle looked at the man with teary eyes. She hugged his neck and cried again. The man did not get impatient instead, he lightly patted her back to stop her from crying.
She buried her head on his neck and inhaled his familiar scent.
"Thank you for bringing me here..." with a hoa.r.s.e voice she sounded so pitiful.
"Don"t mention it..." Mikhail said.

Lyndon drove back to the building of L&L Empire to rest. His fatigue is slowly appearing and wanted to sleep.
Upon entering his office, he removed his coat and placed it to the rack. Then, walked towards the sofa and lied down. He closed his eyes the moment he laid down and slept his fatigue peacefully.
Rodora had been sleeping so peacefully but out of habit, she"s wide awake in the middle of the night like she did when she"s taking care of Albert.
She looked at the clock beside the bed and discovered that it was already three in the morning and she found no signs of her son, Lyndon inside the room.
It was his resting lounge and it was also complete from the basic necessities and a small kitchen in the end.
She rummaged the fridge to see if there"s anything to eat so she was so happy to find that the fridge is quite packed with foods and some are even fresh vegetables.
She decided to cook simple dishes and then invite Lyndon to dine with her because she knew that he did not have anything.
Lyndon furrowed his brows when a fragrant smell wafted inside his office and was awaken by it. His stomach began to rumble and remembered that he did not ate anything.
He walked to the lounge room and found that his mother is cooking. Rodora noticed Lyndon from the corner of her eyes.
"Son! Come... I cooked something. Let"s eat and wash your hands first." Rodora placed the simple dishes she cooked on the table and some cutlery.
Lyndon nodded and proceeded to the small sink in the kitchen and washed his hands. He walked towards the table and looked at the dishes.
They were all his favorites.
He sat down wordlessly and began digging his food and Rodora did the same. It was a meal shared between them like before. They will ate silently but the harmony is there so, it"s quite a comforting scene to watch.
It"s been a long time since they shared a meal together just them two.
Rodora spoke first after a long time.
"I missed our times like this..." she had a sad voice.
"Me too Mom... Thank you.." though they were family and thank yous were not often uttered, he still did because he felt that his mother had done greatly in raising him.
"This silly child.. You don"t have to... My only wish now is to see Leo and to tell him how much I missed him..." she squeezed Lyndons" hand and looked at him with misty eyes.
"Don"t worry.. We"ll be meeting him tonight... He will come here personally.." Lyndon patted the back of his mothers" hand lovingly.
"Really?" she almost exclaimed out of happiness and Lyndon could see that so he nodded.
Rodora smiled at him geniunely. She knew that Lyndon will not lie to her because her son knew how much she wanted to Leo and apologize to him.
They continued eating after that then Rodora cleaned the table after and Lyndon was the one who washed their dishes.
They really looked harmonious.
Soon after, Rodora went back to sleep as it is early but Lyndon didn"t. He organized some of his work schedules and then reviewed some of the papers that were sitting on his desk for a long time now.
The sky is gradually getting lighter. This signifies that another day came and another battle will proceed.
Soon, it was seven in the morning and Maybell came into his office with a coffee on her hand. She carefully placed the cup on the table.
"Good Morning Boss..." she enthusiastically greeted the man.
Lyndon replied with a grunt and it signalled Maybell that the man had so many things to think so she excused herself from the room but before she could reach the door, Lyndon spoke.
"Prepare some clothes fit to the Great Lady... one formal and one casual... and also, send my father and his nurse to the mansion in country P. Tell Conrad to take care of him... And also this.... Merry Christmas Maybell..."
His voice was still the same voice she heard almost everyday. The man handed her a paper bag which she reluctantly accepted.
"Thank you boss. Merry Christmas to you too.." with that, she walked out from the CEO"s office with a smile on her face but then immediately erased as she proceeded to her work efficiently.
