Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1415

Henrik coldly listened to the cries from inside. After half an hour, he furrowed his eyebrows, got up, and walked into the ward. He pushed the door open and spoke in fluent English with a sad face. "Will you please calm her down?" Then he indifferently glimpsed at Lina who shivered as tears fell on her face. "If you keep on crying, I'll leave you here alone."

Before everyone reacted, Henrik turned to leave and closed the door slowly. Lina's screams stopped but turned into silent sobs. Her despair only made everyone around her feel sorry and helpless.

Henrik checked his watch and said to Moore, "You stay here and watch her. I'm going somewhere for a while."

"As you wish," Moore responded as he watched Henrik walk out of the hospital.

When he had finally left the hospital, Henrik drove himself to Chinatown. He parked his car in front of a bar. It was already morning so that bar was lifeless. There were no customers and the workers felt stale in their posts.

Henrik entered, stood there, and looked around. Then a waiter came up to him. Before the waiter could even speak, Henrik said, "I came here to see Freeman."

The waiter heard the name and looked stunned. Then he tried to speak again but Henrik cut him off once more. "I am Henrik Ji."

This made the waiter petrified and he hurriedly responded, "Young Master Henrik, please come in and take a seat. I'll find the boss for you."

Henrik nodded and found a table beside the window. Out of nowhere, someone came to serve him coffee.

Freeman's favorite wasn't coffee but liquor in the past. In fact, he wasn't much a drinker but something happened that made him prefer liquor. It helped him forget the pain brought by that woman.

"Hello, Henrik, so did you get Lina treated?" a figure asked and sat opposite of Henrik. Looking at the coffee in front of Henrik which he didn't drink, the man continued, "I made this coffee myself. Why not have a taste?"

"Looks like it's my lucky day today. I think I am not lucky enough to enjoy something you learned to make for someone else, Uncle Freeman." Henrik joked with raised eyebrows and a haughty expression on his face.

"Hmm. I haven't seen you for years! You have finally learnt to pull a joke on me, eh?" Freeman Ji smiled. "So, what brings you here?"

"I can't bear to hear Lina's screams so I decided to come here and relax for a while," Henrik answered casually and looked around the ambiance and the decorations in the coffee shop. He snorted, "So you have changed some things around here, huh?"

"Ah, well. She arranged it," Freeman replied. "Well she sometimes likes to decorate so I let her do whatever she'd like."

Henrik knew who this woman was but unfortunately, this couldn't be discussed between them. Henrik narrowed his eyes, paying attention to the man in front of him. "Grandpa wants to know when you will come back?"

"Ah. Still the same old question, eh?" Freeman smiled. "We can talk about it later. For now, you go fight against that guy from the Tang Family. It's up to you to do it openly or secretly. But for now, it's not yet my time to make a comeback." He sighed and whispered, "Plus if I were to help you, that bastard Yates would surely take action.

And she'll feel embarrassed." Henrik pursed his lips. "How can you be sure that Yates won't do anything even if you don't get involved?"

Freeman chuckled. "Ah I see. Right... Well, he isn't in the mood to interfere with the games the younger generations play. All he does is fiddle stones all day. Will he have any interest to play with you young guys?" He paused for a while and then added, "But you still have to think over everything, my boy. Even if Yates doesn't get involved, it doesn't mean that the fight between you and Matthew can damage anything. After all, the Long Family is still the ruler of Dragon Island. If they can still carry out the emperor system, nobody can do anything. You need to remember one thing only. Don't pick any fights with the Long Family. No matter how you will fight Matthew, it may end well."

Henrik could only sigh deeply. "Well, for starters. Addison is a tough nut to crack. Even if we are friends for years, it's still hard to read him." He frowned. "But I am afraid we can't prevent him from getting involved in this fight." He looked at Freeman with serious eyes. "I am afraid that Addison has some relationship with that woman, Sally Li."

Freeman's ears perked up on what he had heard. His eyebrows furrowed as he remained in silence, thinking and pondering. He sighed. "It seems like Lina can't be cured..."

"Uncle Freeman." Henrik scowled. He tried to speak but stopped. Then he continued, "If Lina won't be cured, then probably we won't have a choice. Grandpa also wanted her to get well."

"Does he have any idea about the relationship between Young Master Addison and Sally?" Freeman asked him.

Henrik shook his head and sighed. "What happened was an accident. They kept on concealing it. You do know that they cannot keep this a secret forever, right, Uncle Freeman?"
