Lola removed all her doubts and shook her head to her father. She had persuaded her parents and conspired with them about her plan to fake a loss of memory. She did this before Harry arrived.
Angie took out the millet soup and the vegetable dishes, but Harry took them from her before she could walk towards her daughter. He said to her sweetly, "You can leave it to me, mother!" Then he made his way up to Lola.
With Harold's help, he made Lola sit up and lean against the side of the bed. He then began to feed her with the soup and the other dishes.
Lola was really curious as to why her mother just accepted the fact that Harry had called her "mother".
But she could not ask this as Harry was still here. She could not blow her cover so she only kept it inside her heart.
"Mr. Si, you haven't had dinner yet, right? You can go and get something to eat and I will take care of Lola." Seeing her son-in-law feeding her daughter so lovingly, Angie felt a little embarrassed and stared at her husband.
She was preparing to take a dish for both of them, but she was stopped by Harold. He said that Harry did not deserve their care. He could still remember what he had done to their daughter. He only deserved a good, tough beating!
He was the CEO of a very big group of companies. Yet, he was so caring and sweet to Lola... She was now getting convinced by this man. Now that Harry had been showing his regret and sincerity, her daughter should be happy from now on.
"That's okay. Mom, you can go back with dad. It's getting late already. I'll order someone to send my supper here. Thank you." He understood their thinking as parents. They were protective of Lola's well-being. He would not be bothered by it at all.
Lola had a sip of the soup, then looked at her parents. She told them, "You can go back for a rest, mom and dad. You've been so busy today!" They need not worry about her. She's already feeling better, except for her arm.
Harold was also relieved when he saw her daughter being taken care of so carefully. "So let's go!" He said to his wife. Then they walked out of the ward together.
The corridor was silent as there was no one there but the two of them. Angie looked at her husband and said, "Do you think I'm not angry at him? I know what he had done to our daughter. But, as a CEO of an international group, he chose to swallow his pride and chase Lola. It's not that easy to do. We should give him one more chance. Besides, he's taking care of Lola all the time!"
She had seen all his acts of cruelty. After all, she even wished she could kill him with a gun when he took Nicole to their home before.
But at that time, Jordan already gave him a hard beating but Harry didn't strike back. So her hatred for him was lessened.
Moreover, he even didn't blink when her husband raised the leather whip in his hand.
But Jordan stopped his father at the very last moment, so Harry was able to escape what could have been a deadly lashing.
Harold breathed out a heavy sigh. "You women are too soft-hearted. Lola gave in to his sweet talks again just only several days after her painful encounter!" He was really disappointed at her. She should have been firm on her every decision.
"That's true. But Lola forced us to tell Harry that she's lost her memory. It's also a good opportunity to test if he will remain faithful to her or not." They had been together for so many years. It would be hard for them to just break up in an instant.
As long as one of them was unwilling to part, they would not be separated.
Both of them didn't want to give up. In her opinion, Lola was just reluctant to admit that her heart still beat for Harry. She's just saying that she wanted to drive him away. But in reality, she didn't want to.
After all, they had a daughter. They would definitely not be willing to cause trauma and pain to their beloved Nicole. So, as parents, they didn't want to separate them.
Harold felt his head and heart ache every time he thought about the complicated matters between his daughter and son-in-law. After so many years of being entangled in complications and anxieties, it should be the time for a happy ending. But why was there no signs of improvement yet?
It's not good for them to meddle with the couple's affairs. "Forget it. Let's just leave it to Lola! She's already a grown woman." However, he's just worried about her daughter's temper. He's afraid she would hurt herself again. Alas!
Both of them were unyielding persons. They seemed to never give up on each other. Oh, they would really have a hard time...
In the ward
