Chapter 279 Hard to Predict
Lyra was frightened by his sudden passion. She shook her head in confusion. “Just pretend that I didn’t say anything.” However, when she wanted to escape, it was already too late. A hand grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her. She fell into his arms weakly. His hot chest exuded a strong male scent. The distance between the two of them suddenly shortened. Lyra could smell his scent when she raised her head. For a moment, countless images of the two of them in the middle of the night flooded her mind.
“Why is your face so hot? Are you uncomfortable?” His hand caressed the side of her face, his voice unbelievably gentle. “…. don’t know.” Lyra shook her head blankly. Why was her heart beating so fast? The strange feeling that made her unwilling to leave once again struck her mind. “Hank, why do I feel that you are too good to me? You are different from what I remember.”
The man’s eyebrows suddenly tightened, and the hand that was stroking her cheek suddenly stopped. “What is different?” Lyra stretched out her hand and boldly touched the bridge of his nose and cheekbones, which went down to his lower jaw. “I always thought that you were a very cold person. Moreover, I seemed to have been waiting for you for a long time.” When Lyra said this, she felt that it didn’t seem to come from her mouth at all. She also seemed to have become another person. This dreamlike illusion made her sigh heavily. “Don’t mind my words. I must be in a daze from sleeping. That’s why my thoughts are wandering.”
After Lyra finished speaking, she looked at the man in front of her tentatively. “Do you think that I am confusing?”
Her carefulness and her lowliness were all written on her face. In that instant, Hank finally realized what it was like to be needed by someone.
It was strange that he did not understand her thoughts earlier. Lyra mustered up the courage to say these words, but there was no response for a long time. Her red lips pursed into a line as she muttered, “I shouldn’t have said such nonsense.” She had always been looking forward to getting closer to him. This man was clearly in
front of her all day, so what else could she hope for? Lyra looked weak and wanted to get out of his arms. But Hank’s hand covered her fingertips. “I’m very happy to hear you say these things when I have the chance.” His deep voice rang in her ears, making her feel unreal. “You’ve been too tired these days. You’ll get used to it in a few days. Don’t worry, you can trust me unconditionally.” Hank gently stroked the hair on her cheek and lowered his head to kiss her. There was a flash of joy in Lyra’s eyes, and she lowered her head shyly. That night, she lay on the double bed, looked at the ceiling, and slowly closed her eyes. Even when she fell asleep, there was a smile on her lips. The man stood at the door, looking at her through the light of the corridor. The phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the screen and pressed the answer button. “Hank, there are some things that you have to see with your own eyes. It’s about Lyra,” Jasper sighed. “Okay, I’ll be there right away.” He drove to the examination agency to meet Jasper. There were several experts with Jasper. “They are all my father’s friends. They won’t leak the information.” Hank nodded and said, “Let’s get down to business.” “The thing that was tested last time might be produced by their examination agency, which is supposed to have positive effects on Helmez’s disease. It is still in the clinical trial stage and is to be put into the pharmaceutical market very soon.” “Now, they all suspect that Lyra’s brain has already reacted because of this solution.” After Jasper finished speaking, he took out a small blue pill. “This is a medicine that restrains the solution, but it is also in the clinical trial stage. No one can be sure how effective it is. However, this is the only treatment plan so far.” “Eating this thing might restore her memory. Might not. Is that what you mean?” Hank had never liked uncertain results.
He was a person who was born to play with all the rules in his hands. Any unknown result would cause him to feel repulsed.
