As he was still sitting inside the car, Jordan sadly looked at her sister.
Half an hour later, Jordan got off the car and dragged Lola. She still hadn't given up so he pulled her into the car.
"Brother, leave me alone. You go back first." Harry loved her so much, so he must be willing to listen to her explanation!
She frantically tried to get off from the car.
Jordan quickly locked the door, as he couldn't allow himself to see his sister begging that man. He had too much of this.
"Brother, let go of me! Please." Unable to open the door, Lola was already in a panic.
Without looking at his sister, Jordan drove off from the mansion.
On the way back, Lola became so quiet. She closed her eyes and leaned back on her seat, covered by gloom and despair.
When they arrived at the hospital, only Harold and Joseph were left there. Angie went to the hotel with the two pregnant women. They needed to take some rest as too much stress would eventually spell danger for their health.
Noticing that Lola seemed like she had lost her soul, the two men knew that nothing good happened in their trip to the manor.
Three days later
Except for Joseph and Lola, everyone had returned to A Country.
When Lola was discharged from the hospital, she opted to stay in a hotel first. With the curtains drawn, she stayed in the room all day, without eating nor drinking. She rarely did anything and would always stare blankly at the ceiling.
For the sake of Lola, Joseph asked for a week of leave from work to take care of her. When Lola figured everything out, he would send her back to A Country.
What annoyed Joseph the most was that she didn't eat nor drink.
But because of his constant persuasion, Lola finally ate some hot meal to warm her aching stomach.
At the seventh day after Rose's death, her mourning hall was to be held at the old house.
Changing into a black dress, Lola let Joseph take her there.
The weather was really gloomy. It felt like it was going to rain at any time of the day.
Lots of people came here to pay their deep respect for Rose, and they were all surprised to see Lola.
With Joseph on her side, Lola went toward the mourning hall with a bouquet of white chrysanthemum in her arm.
At the mourning hall
There was a character, which means filial, on Harry's black shirt.
Standing with a woman in white suit, he stared sadly at the portrait of Rose.
Lola heard what Harry was saying, "Mom, I was a disobedient child and was so stupid to believe in an immoral person, causing you to leave at this young age..."
Burning a joss paper for the memory of his mother, he added, "If you would be so happy to see Cherry and I be together, well then... I promise you that I will get along well with her. You have my words, mother."
Hearing this, Lola unintentionally dropped the flowers on the ground.
"Lola Li!" A harsh voice rang out from behind them.
When Kevin saw Lola, he started to lose his temper again.
Harry and Cherry turned around and faced Lola as soon as they heard Kevin's voice.
She had become thin and pale. She was staring at the couple not far from her. Under her feet were scattered petals.
Harry glanced at her coldly, then opened his mouth and shouted, "Call security! Get her out of here!"
People around him instantly went out to call the security.
She pretended to not hear what he just said. Lola slowly made her way into the mourning hall.
"Harry, could you let me explain to you? Please, just give me a chance to defend myself." Lola did not intend to cry. Yet, the moment that she saw him closer, she couldn't help but shed some tears.
