After David Huo left, the room turned extremely quiet.
Seeing this, Linda Yun walked to her and sat in front of her, holding her hand and asked, "Is that still hurt?”
Jennifer Huo shook her head and said in a sobbing tone, "Sorry. I’m so sorry......”
Linda Yun took a tissue and helped her wipe away her tears. She felt complicated in her heart.
"Sister-in-law, I can’t. I can’t manage to forget him. I can’t marry other people.....I can’t......”
Linda Yun’s eyes somehow turned red. She gently patted on the back of her hand and said, "Stop crying, OK? I understand, Um?”
But Jennifer Huo cried even harder. She looked at Michael Huo and said apologetically, "Sorry, brother. I’m sorry......”
Michael Huo sighed helplessly. He felt sympathetic and helpless.
"I know that I’m mean and shameless, but......I just cannot forget about him. I can’t do that just like you can’t forget about sister-in-law!” She sobbed.
On seeing this, Michael Huo opened his mouth, tried to say something, but he just swallowed his words by taking a glimpse of his sister.
"OK, OK. Stop crying. We understand. We won’t force you. If you don’t like him, you don’t need to marry him, Um!” Linda Yun was comforting her while helping her wipe away her ceaseless tears.
Jennifer Huo nodded and didn’t say anything, just letting tears fall.
Seeing this, Michael Huo felt more agitated.
He didn’t know what to do.
At that moment, his phone rang suddenly.
He took a look at it. It was Richard Qu’s father’s call.
He frowned and thought.
Why would he call?
A few seconds later, he picked up the phone, saying, "Hello, uncle......What?”
Later, he hung up his phone and he was completely shocked.
"Brother, what’s wrong?” Somehow, Jennifer Huo felt upset. She hurriedly sat up and asked, "What did uncle say?”
Michael Huo avoided looking at her and said, "Nothing, I need to go out for a while. Take care of yourself!”
Saying, he left.
"Brother----” Jennifer Huo shouted and then fell from the bed.
It was such a fast move and Linda Yun could not notice. She just fell.
"Jennifer!” Michael Huo came back immediately and grabbed her arms, saying, "What are you doing? Are you all right? Did you hurt yourself?”
Jennifer Huo grabbed Michael Huo’s arms and asked worriedly, "Was it about him? Did anything happen to him? Brother, tell me. Tell me, please!”
Michael Huo frowned and looked at Jennifer Huo, and said, "He did the same as you did. He killed himself!”
Hearing this, Jennifer Huo felt darkness covered her eyes. She passed out at once......
---
At the villa.
Linda Yun was exhausted today.
Jennifer Huo was taken home, under supervision.
As for Richard Qu, he was as stupid as her.
He chose to kill himself, too.
Luckily he was saved in time and got out of danger.
Jennifer Huo shouted and wanted to find him. They had no other option, so let them have a video chat.
During the ten-minute video chat, they didn’t say anything.
They kept silent for ten minutes, but after the video chat.
Jennifer Huo’s emotion gradually turned stable.
It was said that Richard Qu got stable, too. He also cooperated with doctor’s treatment.
She couldn’t help thinking that since they have a tacit understanding, why couldn’t they be together?
Was what other thought about them so important?
"What are you thinking of?” Michael Huo saw Linda Yun sit on a couch at the balcony when he came to his room.
He sat beside her and held her in arms.
"What are you thinking of?”
Linda Yun laid in his arm, frowning and said, "Do you think that they can’t be together anymore?”
Michael Huo didn’t speak. No one knew that he was actually thinking.
Linda Yun looked at the man and said, "Both of them chose death for love. Isn’t this love strong enough? I know what you are worried about. I’m worried about the same thing, too, but I think......they won’t know until they try. Perhaps let them be together for a few years and they will get to know each other better then they will stop. You know that’s what people do. The more you stop them, the more they want to be together!?"
Michael Huo looked at Linda Yun, sighed and then said, "I’m afraid that Jennifer will get hurt!”
Mary Yun got silent. Wasn’t love a delicate thing?
"I won’t even care if she’s in love with a cad, but she’s in love with a wrong guy. Even if they leave the Austral City and head to another city and be together. Do you think that they can just move on?”
Linda Yun didn’t say anything. She didn’t have an idea.
"You are right. They are not afraid of death even not afraid of anything, but time is the worst thing. He will no longer love Jennifer within few years, but Jennifer is a stubborn girl. Once she thinks that he is the one, she would do anything for him, by then, she would get more hurt!”
This was what he worried the most.
Linda Yun frowned and looked at him, saying, "Perhaps, Richard Qu is not a man like that!”
Michael Huo didn’t answer her.
Everyone changed with time.
Whether they could maintain that innocence was unknown.
"So, what should we do?” Linda Yun looked at him and asked, "Do you have any idea?”
Michael Huo lowered his head and looked at her. He reached out his hand, stroked her beautiful hair and said, "Let’s give them to time, because time is not only a cure, but also the only method for them to know each other completely!”
Hearing this, Linda Yun nodded her head.
"Right, take Jennifer, Xiao Kui, Duoduo and George Mo with you. We will stay at Tung City for several days!”
Linda Yun was stunned, saying, "Phoenix City?”
Michael Huog embraced her and said, "Yeah, on the one hand, we can make Jennifer relaxed. On the other hand, we can help George Mo get to know old environment more, maybe he won’t be so depressed. His depression needs guidance. We accompanying him will be more useful than medical treatment!”
Linda Yun looked sideways at Michael Huo. And she felt her nose was sour.
"What’s wrong?” Seeing her red eyes, Michael Huo asked worriedly.
