Harry prepared her a bowl of healthy porridge sent by the family nanny and immediately went back to her.
"How did you know I have a fever?" Looking at him coming closer, Lola asked in a curious tone.
Harry stirred the porridge in the bowl and took a look at her. "The whole company knows."
... Seriously? Maybe it was because she had fainted. It would create too much concern, of course.
"Open your mouth. You need to eat this first." He sat on the edge of the bed and blew the porridge on the spoon so it would cool off a bit. Then he placed it by the side of her mouth.
Lola opened her mouth and obediently ate the porridge. "Where is my daughter?"
Harry fed her another spoonful and reassured her, "My daughter is with her grandparents. She's the least of your concern right now."
They had yet to reach a consensus on the matter of Nicole. He said that Nicole was his daughter and she also protests that Nicole was her daughter. Nobody seemed to back down.
Lola twitched her mouth in discontent and took another spoonful of porridge. "I'm sick, and you're still taking away my daughter from me." The woman stared at the man pitifully.
Harry didn't look at her eyes at all and just said coldly, "You're not going to die yet! Stop overreacting."
...
Hearing what he said, she really wanted to take the broom and drive him away with it.
"You don't need to feel bad for me. But why do you talk to me like that? You're inconsiderate of my feelings. Get out of here!" With tears in her eyes, Lola started to make a scene by looking helpless.
She knew that Harry would always yield to a weaker person and not to the strong and powerful. She needed to conform to his ideas to make him happy. She had to pretend like she was helpless or the big guy would not show any care for her.
Harry was heartbroken when she saw her eyes full of tears. He put down the bowl in his hand and wiped away her tears.
"Stop crying! You're an adult! Even my daughter is stronger than you." It was true. He had never seen Nicole crying like this.
This woman must be made of water. Her tears just kept on flowing!
It was not because she was made of water, but because she was once a popular actress. It was a basic skill in acting.
She clung to his waist and laid down in his arms, while acting like a spoiled child. "Is my daughter the most important person in your heart? Tell me, please."
Harry caressed her long hair and showed a loving smile on his face. "Of course!"
It was very quiet in the ward. Lying in his arms, Lola could feel his heart beating vigorously.
She indulged herself in this peaceful moment and didn't feel like answering his words. She just wanted to feel this moment.
He lifted her face, stared intently at it, and suddenly kissed her on her red lips.
They kissed for a while and this caused his breathing to accelerate. At that time, they heard a faint sound near the door.
Someone was here! Lola pushed Harry away immediately. Her face was redder than when she was running a fever at 41℃. They saw her big brother and his wife standing right on the door.
Harry peacefully fixed her long hair before standing up from the bed.
"Mr. Li." He calmly greeted the man at the door and politely nodded to Wendy.
Jordan also greeted Harry and looked at Lola, whose face was blushing with shyness. He stepped forward and asked worriedly, "I thought the fever has already went down. Why is your cheek still so red?"
Wendy, who had been giggling quietly, gently pulled the shirt of her husband. She knew that Lola was just embarrassed. You stupid man.
Jordan gave a look at his wife who was winking at him. He then turned his eyes to Lola. He might have understood something.
Wendy walked to the side of Lola and smiled. "Are you feeling better? How can you suddenly catch a high fever? We didn't even know about it." She felt for her temperature by touching Lola's forehead.
Fortunately, it felt normal.
Lola nodded. Then she raised her head and said, "I'm not sure really. But it's so late now. You didn't have to come. I don't want to bother you."
It was past ten o'clock when Jordan came home from the army and he rushed over immediately when he received a phone call from his parents. They just came from the hospital that time.
