Chapter 283 Compensation
As if nothing had happened, Lyra washed her face and walked down the stairs, step by step, towards the dining room. Looking at Hank sitting there with his back to her, Lyra felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles. But she could not stop. She could not reveal any flaws.
“Hank!”
She smiled and quickened her pace to his side. Smelling the aroma of the food, she smiled sweetly. “Today’s dinner is really sumptuous. Is there any good news?” Hank’s eyes darkened. “Lyra, I have to go on a business trip for a few days. Sister Zhang may be the only one at home to take care of you. You…” “Don’t worry, I will take good care of myself. I will eat well and wait for you to come back.” Her tenderness and consideration were originally written on her face. They had just been married, how could she bear to let her husband leave her? Hank’s face was cold and gloomy. He also wanted to take care of her without leaving. “Then when are you leaving? I’ll help you pack your luggage.” Lyra lowered her head and ate, pretending to ask unintentionally. “Keith will pick me up later.” Hank also picked up his chopsticks. The two of them had different thoughts. Lyra nodded and lowered her head even more. As if noticing her unhappiness, the man reached out and patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.” Lyra nodded, but still did not raise her head. An hour later, Hank left in the car. Lyra hid behind the curtains on the second floor. Her gaze became colder and colder until his car disappeared from her sight. She bit her lips and could not make a sound. Business trip? He must have gone to the hospital to accompany Alma! Lyra took a deep breath and took out her phone. She restored all the numbers that Hank had blocked. After hesitating for a long time, she dialed Su Yuan’s number. Lyra was sitting on the toilet in the bathroom, turning on the tap to make this call. She
could not let Hank and Sister Zhang know that she had regained her memories.
If Hank dared to do this to her, she would let him know what it felt like to be in so much pain that one wanted to die.
Soon, the phone was connected. “Ms. Jones! You finally appeared. Where have you been these past few days? We were all worried to death. Without you, the company was in chaos. And Manager Zhao hasn’t been here for a few days. We couldn’t even contact him.” Su Yuan was so anxious that she was about to cry.
“Su Yuan.”
“You have to listen carefully to what I’m going to say next. You can’t tell anyone about me contacting you. Even if I call you on this phone later, you can’t admit it. Do you understand?” Lyra instructed calmly. “… I know, Ms. Jones.” “The only person I can trust now is you. Don’t let me down.” Lyra arranged for Su Yuan to do a few more things. Then, she filled the bathtub with water and lay down. She wanted to wash away all the marks on her body and clean them. Even if she lost her memory, how could Hank have touched her? She found it dirty. The bathroom door was closed, and the sound of water was very loud. Sister Zhang knocked on the door several times, but she did not hear Lyra answer. “Madam, are you okay? Madam!” Sister Zhang paced back and forth, and when she was taking out her phone to tell Hank, the door opened. Lyra was wearing a bathrobe with a facial mask on her face. “What’s wrong? I was taking a bath.” Sister Zhang could vaguely hear the music in the room. Her worried heart fell and she hurriedly said, “It’s nothing. I’ve prepared fruit and will send it up now.” “Sorry for the trouble.” Lyra smiled and nodded. The door closed again, and the smile on her face disappeared.
At the hospital. “Hank, you haven’t come to see me for a few days. Are you so busy? What is more important than me and the child?” As soon as Alma saw him, she kept muttering. Hank sat by the bed, but in his heart, he was worried about Lyra. He was worried that
she had not eaten well, worried that she might recover her memory at any time. “Hank, are you listening to me?” Alma noticed that he was distracted and pulled him hard, but she did not expect that her move was too violent, and she held her tummy and screamed in pain.
Hank immediately called for the doctors and nurses. After the examination, everything was normal. “Miss Kensley is almost at the delivery period. It’s best to adjust your mood. Don’t be too excited.”
