That afternoon, Kevin came to the hospital to substitute for Lola.
Lola returned to the mansion, played with her phone until the battery was almost used up.
At dusk, Harry called and said she didn't need to go to the hospital anymore. His grandfather had been transferred from the ICU to senior ward, and the nurse he hired had come over.
So Lola went with the driver to pick up Nicole. Harry went back home that night to change his clothes.
Then he hurried to the hospital. Before leaving, he told Lola that he would settle problems in the company as soon as possible. After that, he would take his grandfather to the United States for medications.
He didn't mention how long would it take, but Lola knew it could be a long while.
Around ten o'clock that night. she dialed Harry's number.
"Transfer my shares back to you. All things will be solved then. You need to regain the trust of the people." Were things as easy as that?
Harry closed the files he was reading and walked out of the ward.
"You don't need to worry about that. I will take care of it." He would address this problem before leaving.
Lola remained silent for a while, then uttered, "I've forgotten the past. You don't need to do this for me. I don't even know why you are doing this."
"Lola, you are mine and could only be mine for life. Don't think about anything else." He said firmly. He would sound harsh only when it comes to his possession of Lola. He didn't want to share her with other people.
When the phone was about to be hung up, Harry comforted her, "Take care of yourself. I'll be okay."
After less than a week, Harry took his grandfather to America.
Kevin went with them. Lola was assigned to look after Nicole.
Every day, she would send Nicole to school and pick her up in the afternoon. Then on Sundays, she would take Nicole out and play with her all day. Yet at night, she would still feel a bit lonely. She missed Harry.
Harry had video calls with Nicole almost every day. But every time he asked to see Lola, she always said no.
Time went by. Then summer came. Lola once answered a call from Thomas Herren who told her that he was to get married.
That news shocked Lola. They just parted for a few days, and suddenly Herren was to get married?
But she wasn't upset at all. Instead, she felt happy for him. He deserved some happiness. He was really a good man. But when she found out that the bride was Cherry, she was taken aback.
What happened exactly? Why did she know nothing about it? And by the time she knew, Thomas Herren and Cherry were to be married to each other.
"Herren, congratulations. Accept my best wishes to you and your future family." She meant it. She hoped Thomas Herren could find his own love rather than wasting his time on her.
Around the beginning of the month of May, Lola's arm has gotten better. The cast has been finally removed. But she still need to do therapeutic exercises every day.
She took Nicole to attend Thomas Herren and Cherry's wedding in A Country. At the ceremony, Cherry cast a look at Lola.
She didn't feel comfortable that her husband, Herren, and her dreamboat, Harry, both loved Lola.
Maybe she was no better than Lola, but no worse nonetheless. But why would they be obsessed with her? Was she that addictive?
During the toast, Cherry couldn't help to say to her, "Make him yours. He loved you so much." Harry loved Lola with all his heart and soul. She knew. She could feel it. Even when they were together, she knew that he was still thinking of Lola.
Cherry didn't spend much time with Harry. But every time she was with him, she could notice that Harry always looked at his watch.
