Henry went back to the rented house and abandoned himself without eating and drinking for a while. Did he want to punish himself in this abusive way? How stupid it was!
It was an old neighborhood where Henry lived, and the people around there mostly were local elders. They had an impression of Henry, a handsome foreign guy. A few elderly gossiped that he didn't come out these days and wanted to knock on his door.
"Opps, isn't he die? Something big had happened."
The landlady opened the door to see him curled up on the floor and immediately called for an ambulance.
"He is still alive but suffering from acute stomach bleeding, malnutrition, and dehydration."
The doctor handled the admission procedure and looked up to say. "Contact his family members."
"A woman lived with him before, but I have a long time not seeing her. I'm wondering if he has broken up with her."
The landlady rummaged through his information and found Henry's agent.
"We've already terminated our employment relationship, and Henry has left our company, so it's not our job to take care of him. Please call someone else. Goodbye."
All the landlady got was a cold reply.
It was what the Vanity fair was. You got lots of friends when you were spiraling. Everything was fine. However, when you came down, all the so-called friends would eschew you as quickly as possible.
Henry gradually woke up on the bed. Hearing their talks, he smiled bitterly at the fickleness of human nature. He was abused by his stepparents as an orphan when he was young and experienced ups and downs in his career. He was used to these things now.
The brilliant smile for the camera based on the emotional attachment has gone now.
"Henry, it's a good time for gaining sympathy. Do you want to call May?"
Charles opened the door of the ward and walked in with a smile, carrying a fruit basket in his hand.
Henry looked pale with a wild beard and looked up at his former boss in surprise, "Mr. Shepherd?"
Charles handed him his phone. "May is soft-hearted. Once you tell her about your current situation, I'm sure she will come to visit you immediately."
Henry smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Don't bother her."
Charles felt regretful about it and said, "Since you can think so clearly, why are you still looking for death?"
Henry looked at the white ceiling of the ward in a daze and muttered, "I think I was wrong before. I don't know how to let it go. So I wanted to punish myself."
"There are various kinds of fruits worldwide, and you don't need to eat apples only." Charles looked for fruits to eat at ease and gave him an orange. "You can also eat oranges, pears, and grapes."
"I know a lot of women of all kinds. I'll set you up with a new girlfriend..."
Henry immediately refused. "No, no need."
"Henry, you're good-looking. If you sign a lifetime contract with my company, I will tell you how to get her back..."
"No, thank you. I don't want to disturb May's life. I've got it through." Henry looked despair with his eyes closed.
In other people's eyes, May was too ordinary for Henry. But he knew it well that he relied on her all the time.
"Think about it carefully." Charles was a businessman and looked at him with a smile.
Christina had no idea from when Henry stayed at the gate of the Hopkins family.
The driver looked back at Patrick and saw that he did not ask him to stop, so he continued driving as usual.
Patrick never showed mercy to anyone. It was useless for the car chaser outside to kneel and beg. To avoid the noise, the driver sped up the car a little.
Henry was in a panic. Seeing the car driving away, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to chase after it, but it was impossible to catch up with it. A sense of despair and helplessness emerged in his heart.
"I'm sorry. I was too stupid before."
"It's because you're too good for me to have! I'm a coward. I'm afraid of losing, so I've never dared to have it. I don't dare to get married. I'm afraid that you'll leave me one day. In the end, the world abandons me too..."
Henry chased after the car, shouting in F Country's language, but the car rode off. He staggered and fell hard.
As an orphan, he had been used to being abandoned since he was a child. He knew the rules of the jungle in this world. The bright smile on his face was to hide his inferiority complex.
He dared not to get great things and was afraid he would lose them one day.
Henry tripped over the rough concrete floor with tears streaming down the corner of his eyes.
Elongated Lincoln quickly and steadily drove up the highway entrance. Christina bit Patrick and raised her head to glare at him. She was a little angry and deliberately sat away from him.
Christina felt complicated with Henry's words echoing in her mind and looked up at May, who was still listening to music with headphones on, not hearing Henry's words.
"I'm not going to the E Country with you," Christina shouted at the driver. "I'm going back to the Hopkins family."
Patrick did not indulge her and said coolly, "You have no choice."
He gestured to the driver to keep driving, and they advanced quickly and steadily towards the airport.
