Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit novel Chapter 456

Chapter 456 Gentle Refusal

He leaned over and looked at her with deep affection. Lyra pursed her lips and said after a long time, “I don’t need anything.” She had been unconscious for a day and a night, and she had not drunk any water when she woke up. Her voice was hoarse at this time. It added a bit of weakness to her pale face. The man’s eyebrows condensed into ice, and his words of comfort were stuck in his throat. However, he could not make up for the pain she had suffered. “I know very well in my heart that this is good. I don’t have to lie to you. You and I are even. I won’t hinder you from being with anyone.” As she spoke, her tears fell down her cheeks, looking so sad and helpless. Her tears seemed to shatter his heart. “You need to rest now. I will ask Sister Zhang to bring the soup over immediately. You should stay here.” After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry. When the ward quieted down again, Lyra leaned back against the pillow. She recalled the look of Huaien’s secretary. She took out her phone and sent a message to Officer Priestley.

Soon, she received a reply from the other side. “I will help you check it out, but it will take a few days.” Lyra heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you.” The police had already suspended their investigation of the case. Only if Officer Priestley was willing to help in private could it continue. For the next two days, Lyra did nothing and just stayed in the hospital to eat and drink. The doctors and nurses would come to check on her regularly. However, she was determined not to do anything related to the prenatal examination. Everyone thought that she just couldn’t get over that hurdle. Whenever she thought of the child, she would feel uncomfortable and so they wouldn’t force her. Only Sally would occasionally show a troubled expression. However, Lyra would secretly send a message to Sally whenever she had time to tell her how happy she was every day. Gradually, Sally no longer felt so guilty.

“Your brother went to talk business with Dingyi again?” Lyra muttered as she ate the strawberries in her mouth.

There were only the two of them in the ward now, so there was no need to worry too much about talking. Sally propped up her chin with her hand. “Yeah, I really don’t know what he’s thinking. He clearly resisted working with them before, and he was originally going to work with the Barnwell group.” Lyra narrowed her eyes. Sure enough, her guess was correct. Hank had the intention to cooperate with the Lijin family, but the Lijin family was in contact with Dingui. It could only be said that Hank wanted to use some people’s greed to play a game of chess. Otherwise, Charles would not have come all the way here.

However, it just so happened that the people from the Lijin family who came were

Charles and his sister.

It was difficult for Lyra not to associate this matter with Hank.

“Lyra, can I ask you something?” Sally changed the subject when she saw that her

expression was not quite right. “Why did you divorce Hank?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lyra’s thoughts were disrupted. “Why are you curious about this?” Lyra did not answer directly. Her hand touched the rim of the glass cup and her smile deepened. “Why don’t we play a game? Everyone can ask each other a question. Whoever can’t answer will have to accept punishment.” She smiled gently, but the light in her eyes was so bright. Sally liked this kind of interesting thing the most and immediately agreed with a smile. “Come on, I won’t lose to you.” “Then answer first, why did you get a divorce?” she said eagerly, raising her chin. “Because we are each other’s enemies.” Lyra lowered her eyes, and her voice was very soft and heartbreaking. Sally looked at her doubtfully. “But…” “It’s my turn to ask. What is the project that the Lijin family and Dingyi are cooperating on?”
