Chapter 28 Don't We Agree to Divorce
Shawn just opened the door. Suddenly, with a bang, Anthony is hit by the door and screams.
Seeing Shawn is angry, he thinks it is because he sends the antidote slowly. So he immediately cries, "President Lawson, it's really not my fault. Madam does have sharp eyes. You don't know that I underwent three body searches by a group of men below. If I didn't defend to the death, I would have almost been stripped."
"If I was not smart enough to hide the antidote in my belt, I wouldn't have been able to bring it in."
"President Lawson, please eat it quickly. Let me pour a cup of water for you."
Shawn looks at Anthony with cold and sharp eyes. He is so frozen that it seems he just gets out from an icehouse, "There is already the antidote. What else do you want me to eat?"
"Ah, it's already eased. is it?"
Anthony is puzzled. Then he looks at Norah and understands instantly.
"Take the medicine and get out." Shawn snaps.
Anthony quickly follows him. While following, he asks, "President Lawson, what are we going to do now?"
"Find the person who can give me the antidote." Shawn says.
"Ah...?"
Anthony is completely confused now. Doesn't it mean that Norah has relieved him of the effect of the medicine?
So what's going on now?
Seeing that he takes a step and is about to leave soon, Norah can't hold back herself after all. She asks, "Are you really going?"
Shawn turns his back on her and says in a cold voice, "Isn't exactly what you hope for?"
Norah bites her lip, suddenly feeling that she can't speak out anything no matter how much she wants to say.
She never wants him to find Lilian.
Obviously, It is he that only needs Lilian.
That's it.
Now that she has decided to let go, there seems to be no difference between sooner and later.
"When you leave, close the door."
Leaving these words, Norah turns around and runs away.
As soon as she enters the bathroom, she hears the door shut with a bang.
She can't hold it back any longer and pukes up all the things in her stomach in an instant.
She doesn't remember how long she vomited, but just remembers that her stomach was empty at the end.
When she raises her head again, her entire face is pale and shows no trace of red.
The night grows very late.
The sky is as black as it is dyed by ink.
When Norah walks to the balcony, she sees his slender figure sitting in the car. He is so decisive and doesn't have any hesitation.
Then the black car quickly disappears into the night.
Farther and farther.
Until there is no sight of it.
Norah stares at where he left for such a long time that her neck is sore.
The night wind is very cold and makes people cold.
She turns back to the room until the very end when her body is almost stiff.
After turning off the lights, Norah quickly wraps herself in the quilt.
It seems that in this way, her body will be warm and the heart will also be warm.
Suddenly, the phone rings.
It is Lilian that calls her.
"Hey, what did you just say about Shawn on the phone?" Lilian asks anxiously.
Norah opens her mouth and is about to answer.
Suddenly, a doorbell rings on the other end of the line.
Next, she hears Lilian's voice, "Shawn, you...why are you here?"
Norah's phone suddenly slips from her hand.
He goes there.
He finally goes there.
At first, she gave herself some hope.
She told herself that Anthony had already sent the antidote, that he would be fine after eating it and that he might not go to find Lilian.
But now, her last hope is destroyed.
She almost has a sleepless night. She doesn't sleep until around 4am or 5am when she can't restrain the sleepiness.
When she wakes up in the morning, it is already ten o'clock.
"My young lady, can you put it off? President Lawson is very busy these two days. He may not have time to go home. He will contact you as soon as he is free."
"Hey..."
Norah is about to speak again. The phone has been hung up.
When she goes downstairs, Grandpa is drinking tea in the living room. Norah immediately walks to him with a smile.
Seeing her, Martin is very happy. But his face immediately darkens when he looks at what behind her, "My girl, where is Shawn? Don't you come down together?"
"Ah..." Fortunately, Norah reacts quickly enough. She immediately explains, "Shawn went to the company early in the morning. Grandpa, as you know, he has a regular schedule and never sleeps late."
This explanation is very credible. So Martin easily trusts it.
"Okay. Go to have breakfast quickly. Then, Grandpa has something to tell you."
"Okay, Grandpa."
The breakfast is very substantial. Almost all the food is her favorite.
However, she doesn't have appetite at all.
But thinking that the baby in his womb needs nutrition, Norah reclutantly eats a lot.
After the breakfast, Norah immediately goes to find Grandpa when she knows he is enjoying the sun on the balcony.
"My girl, sit down."
"Okay, grandpa."
Norah sits down with a sunny and bright smile. When with Grandpa, she always shows the happiest side to him.
No matter what happened between her and Shawn, Grandpa will be her grandpa all her life.
Grandpa is not in good health now. She doesn't want him to worry about her.
Martin takes a sip of tea, considers for a long time, and says, "Norah, tell Grandpa the truth. Does Shawn bully you?"
"That's not true, Grandpa. Where do you hear that? Shawn is always very good to me."
Norah deliberately shows the bracelet around her wrist and the necklace around her neck to Martin, "Grandpa, look. He bought these for me. I was a little bit hesitant but he still bought them for me. ."
Thinking of the pair of earrings on Lilian's ears, Norah's heart suddenly aches.
But soon, it is covered up by her silently.
When she raises her head again, she still has a gentle and bright smile on her face.
Martin can't help himself any longer and grabs her hand distressedly, "Silly girl, although grandpa is old, I'm not deaf. Grandpa knows all the bad things he has done."
"Does Lilian come back? Why don't you tell Grandpa such an important thing?"
