"Harry, are you OK?" Lola asked anxiously while scooting to Harry.
"I"m going to die." Harry replied in a low voice without opening his eyes.
His desperate tone doubled Lola"s anxiety.
Lola threw herself into his arms, eyes turning red. "Harry, tell me what"s wrong with you? How do you feel now?" She asked while checking him up.
Harry grasped her hand and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, "I develop an incurable disease!"
Incurable disease? Lola was devastated on hearing that. "How could that happen? I cannot live without him." She thought. Tears streamed down her face and dropped onto Harry"s arm.
Her hot tears panicked Harry. He pressed Lola"s head against his chest at once and said, "Don"t cry. I am just lovesick."
What? Lovesick? Lola stopped crying instantly. Teary-eyed, she raised her head and looked at the smirking man.
Lola pinched Harry"s waist with all her strength out of sulk. Seeing Harry just frowned slightly, Lola held Harry"s arm up and bit it to vent her spleen.
She didn"t loosen her grip until she made bite marks on Harry"s arm.
"Do you have propensity for violence?" Harry asked while checking his arm which had been bitten and pinched by Lola many times.
Lola wiped her tears and gave Harry a slap, "Yes, so what? You trick me first!" She was really scared. Because Harry was not that kind of person who would joke about that.
Harry wiped her tears when Lola muttered, "Lovesick! If you miss your fiancee, you can call her. Why did you send a message to me?"
Yes! Why did him send message to Lola? Harry looked at Lola with disdain.
"... Why do you look at me in that way?" Lola complained while sitting down at the bedside.
Harry closed his eyes, trying to ignore that silly woman.
"Hey, did you call me here to watch your poker face?" Lola said while hitting Harry"s arm which was just bit by her.
If someone said Lola had no propensity for violence, Harry would be the first one to raise objection.
Harry sat up and moved aside to make s.p.a.ce for Lola. Then he patted the bed and asked Lola to lie down beside him.
His tenderness greatly eased Lola"s anger. She lay down obediently, head pillowed on his arm.
Harry held her close to his chest, "Sleep!"
Staring at Harry"s infusion bags, Lola asked, "You haven"t told me what"s wrong with you!"
The hot pot made him so? If that was the fact, she should be blamed.
Harry could guess what Lola was thinking. He explained, "I drank some Baijiu tonight."
Lola looked up at him. She concluded that her hot pot plus pungent Baijiu made him sick.
"So we don"t eat hot pot again and you should drink less alcohol." She advised seriously.
"Ok." Harry replied and kissed Lola on her forehead.
He seldom ate spicy food. The hot pot Lola ordered was too spicy for him.
He ignored the dull pain when they were shopping. In the Storm, he felt better. But after he drank several cups of Baijiu, things got worse.
The ward was so quiet that Harry and Lola could hear the heartbeats of one another. It was too late. So Lola fell asleep soon in Harry"s arms.
It was over three o"clock am when the infusion was complete.
He sat up after a nurse removed the needle. Before the nurse was about to say something, he gestured her to keep quiet. The nurse nodded and left.
Then Harry lifted the asleep Lola up by her waist and walked out of the ward.
He put Lola on the rear seats. In order not to awake her, he was quite, gentle and careful. But Lola still waked up.
In a daze, Lola asked him, "How do you feel? Better now?"
Hearing Lola"s caring words, Harry nodded. "Go back to sleep. I will drive you back." Drive her back? Back to where?
As Harry went to the driver seat, Lola sat up and realized that she was in the car. "The infusion was complete? Are you feeling better now?" she asked.
Harry got in the car and turn backed to look at her, "Yes. We are going home now."
Lola fell asleep again on the way. Harry drove her to the Crescent Spring.
Lola was awoken by her mobile phone ring tone next morning. She touched a face when she was groping her phone.
Lola got frightened and opened her eyes immediately, only to find Harry gazing at her.
Seeing Harry, she was relieved. She remembered they were in the hospital last night.
"But why do I end up here?" Lola wondered.
Harry pa.s.sed her the phone, which kept ringing. It was from Jordan.
Lola cleared her throat and answered, "Morning, Jordan."
"Where are you now? I saw you at home last night." Jordan asked in a worried tone. He had knocked on the door of Lola"s bedroom for a while but n.o.body answered. He opened the door and found Lola wasn"t in the room.
Looking at the smirking Harry, Lola tried to work out an excuse and said, "Eh... I am in company now. I am a little bit busy recently so I go to work earlier today." This was convincing.
Jordan glimpsed the clock. It was over 7 am. He believed Lola and said, "I know you work hard. But do take care yourself." Lola had been working hard since she joined SL Group. Being a professional woman was not bad. But all families hoped Lola could take more care of herself.
"OK. I will. Please help me drive Nicole to kindergarten." Lola said. Since Jordan was home, he or Joseph could drive Nicole to the kindergarten.
Lola felt relieved after hanging up the phone. Seeing it was past 7 am, Lola got up immediately.
Seeing Lola was getting off the bed, Harry complained, "Am I invisible?"
Lola giggled. She bent over and kissed Harry slightly, "Boss Si. Please let go of me or we will be late."
Could a slight kiss satisfy Boss Si? The answer was "No" of course.
Harry yanked Lola back into his arms and gave her a hot and heavy kiss.
After the sweet early morning, they went to the company together. It was past 8 am when they arrived. According to the company rules, they were late.
After checking that there was no one in the parking area, Lola got out of Harry"s s black Maserati quickly.
Before she got in the elevator, she repeated asking him to take the next elevator. Harry was so upset that he had an impulse to teach her a lesson in the car.
Lola was ten minutes" late when she finally arrived at her office. She quickly collected meeting doc.u.ments and hurried to the conference room.
Harry strode into the conference room soon after she sat down.
Julie studied them suspiciously. How strange it was that both Harry and Lola were late for the meeting. But she couldn"t figure out what exactly happened between them.
