After being stopped in her tracks for a moment, Yolanda raised her hand and was about to slap back.
But Lola seized her hand in the air. "Miss Mo, don't dare touch me! Anyway, Harry is mine! I know you
two are engaged, but so what! You, pretentious angel, ruined my marriage! Do you really think I'd let
you off the hook that easy?"
Yolanda pulled back her wrist, staring at Lola with a smirk in her face. "Ha ha! Who do you think you
are? But, I'm not that mean. You're still welcome to come to our wedding! I will greet your personally!"
Lola was annoyed at her bragging tone but instantly composed herself and smiled instead. "Well, you
shall see, Miss Mo. I swear, after this time, I'll fight to the bitter end!"
Yolanda cannot be with his Harry! She can't be with him. Even though she didn't wear any makeup and
was clad in a plain hospital dress, Lola walked away from her love rival, proud and elegant.
Harry had listened to their conversation. To fight to the bitter end? Were they keeping something from
him? He badly wanted to find out.
Yolanda froze for a long time before she approached the man's bed.
She obsessively stroked his cold and perfect face. He was so charming even when he was sleeping...
Depressed and bored, Lola stayed in the hospital for another day. She wasn't discharged from the
hospital until she was told by the doctors that everything was fine and she just needed rest every now
and then.
People told her that Harry was already awake from the coma and was accompanied by his family.
Suddenly, she felt too embarrassed to see him.
However, she still made up her mind to go with Nicole and see him before they leave the hospital. In
the ward, he was sitting on the bed with a better complexion and not looking as pale as before. This
relieved her of worry and anxiety! Harry looked every bit of his handsome features again.
Kevin was reading newspapers on the sofa. Yolanda sat by the bed, holding Harry's hand tightly, and
Rose returned home to bring some clean clothes.
"Hello, Mr. Si! Sorry to bother you!" Lola greeted Kevin respectfully. The man, Harry's father, seemed
more welcoming than his mother.
"Hello!" Kevin put down the newspapers and nodded at her.
"Hello, Grandpa Si. Uncle Harry saved me and my mommy. We just want to say thank you!" said
Nicole. She was in a long lavender dress, her hair in two small pigtails and a crown headwear.
At the sight of Nicole, Kevin became bright and cheerful. "Hi, my little puppet. What's your name?"
"Grandpa Si, my name is Nicole." Lola looked down at her lovely daughter, and was instantly filled with
so much emotions.
For a moment, Nicole's face reminded Kevin of what his son looked like as a kid, and he was about to
think deep about it when Lola said, "Mr. Si, we're going to visit Boss Si!"
Kevin was interrupted by her words and lost his train of thoughts.
They went to the other side of the bed, and when Lola saw Yolanda holding his hand, she felt
extremely hurt and jealous.
God. Was he really okay with this public display of affection? He said that he only holds hand with me
in public.
"Uncle Harry, do you still feel pain? Are you okay now?" Nicole's voice, innocent and tender, interrupted
her deep meditation.
Harry took his hand back from Yolanda and looked down gently at Nicole, stroking her hair. "I'm feeling
better now, almost recovered! Thank you for being my little guardian angel."
Yolanda watched the scene and it annoyed her. She imagined how the three of them, Harry, Lola and
their child, looked like a happy family.
Nicole nodded vigorously and grinned. "Uncle Harry, thank you for saving me and my mommy. You are
really our superhero!"
A superhero? Harry raised an eyebrow. It sounded good!
Lola took a deep breath, "Boss Si, thank you for saving us! We'll pay a visit to your house to express
our heartfelt gratitude!"
Could he interpret it as a hint that she was going to sleep with him?
Yolanda sneered, "Not at all, Miss Li. Harry treasures friendship. He would do the same to any one of
his friends! He did not do it just for you. Besides, when Harry is recovered, we will go back to C Country
for our wedding. Miss Li, you will not have such an opportunity!"
She replied, sounding every bit like Harry's fiancee. It sounded polite and persuasive.
Lola smiled. She neither hit back nor looked at the man again. "Mr. Si, we're leaving. One of my
friends…he saved us…and he's gone. I'm going to see him!" Lola said goodbye to Kevin, her eyes
moist and red.
"Zoe saved us. I want to say farewell to him. Let's go together!" Harry determinedly replied and quickly
tried to get off the bed with the support of his lower body.
He still looked handsome and appealing even in a hospital suit. Yolanda hurried to hold his arm, but he
just looked at her and said, "No, thanks. I'll go back soon!"
Lola brought Nicole to Angie and Landon in her own ward before she went to the morgue with Harry.
They walked down to the B2 where the morgue was located. It was gloomy and cold.
Lola unconsciously grasped Harry on his shirt and her lips shuddered. She was afraid of three things:
ghosts, being alone at night and cats.
Harry noticed something was wrong with her, and he, enduring the pain, moved his injured arm
wrapped in gauze and held her shoulder tightly.
"The deceased rest in peace. Don't be afraid!"
They arrived at the morgue 3 where there were six corpses covered in white clothes. When she saw it,
Lola was short of breath due to fear.
She was drenching in sweat, and was feeling hot and thirsty.
She had been mourning about Zoe's death, and couldn't accept the fact that his best friend is now
gone. How could he lie, lifeless, in this cold morgue? She tried to suppress crying by covering her
mouth.
Harry found the bed labeled with the name of Zoe. Although it was covered with white cloth, the body
below was obviously not in its complete form.
The head was still there, but his upper body was gone, and only half of his leg was left...
Lola trembled violently in Harry's arms, crying bitterly with sorrowful moans and sobs. She came to say
farewell to him who sacrificed himself for them and died with a mutilated body.
She owed him her life and will forever be in debt to her best friend.
"Don't cry. It's not what he wants!", said Harry who had a deep admiration for his courage and love. The
man sacrificed himself without any hesitation for the sake of his true love.
If Zoe was still alive and he himself couldn't get rid of Yolanda, he might ask Zoe to take care of Lola...
"Zoe! You're gone… Have you even considered what I would feel now? Who's going to drink with me if
you're not here… Who will be my best guy friend..." Lola got very emotional and her legs were giving
up. She was about to have a breakdown.
She remembered that he had always helped her in times of need for the last ten years. Whenever she
turned to him for help, he would always make himself available.
They grew up together, prepared hard for the College Entrance Examination, studied side by side at
the university, and stayed up all night and day to play games like hiking, drinking, racing...
He was very important to her. He was not just a close friend. He was her brother.
He was younger than her. But she insisted on being his elder sister. He would always try to guide her
with advice and tips. But she did not pay attention and had taken him for granted. Now she would miss
everything that he did for her. Now that he was…gone.
