A touch of anguish flashed through his eyes.
It was just like yesterday when he was picturing out a beautiful blueprint for their life together. He didn't
know why it ended like this.
He remembered saying, "Lola, I love you."
And she would always answer, "Harry, I love you so much that it pains my heart."
But a moment passed and everything changed. He recalled saying, "From now on, the ties between us
will be severed forever."
Even she would not back down and said to him before she jumped off, "Whether I will be alive or dead,
I will not appear in front of you forever."
So, probably the ties between them were severed once and for all because of Rose's death.
He twitched his fingers. But he eventually left the ward without even touching her.
Just as he came here silently, he left without a single trace.
After seven days, Lola finally woke up from the coma. If she was still unconscious, Jordan and his
brother really didn't know how to explain to their mother and father who will fly out here soon.
Jordan immediately decided to transfer her to another hospital. They went back to A Country the day
after Lola woke up.
Lola, looked at her brothers beside the bed, knowing that she went back to life again.
Why didn't she die? She was frustrated. Why would she stay in this world just to suffer all the tortures
and pain it offered?
Her eyes became red with tears. She didn't say anything and followed her brothers to A Country.
She did not go to the Chengyang Private Hospital. She found another hospital near her house and
stayed there for treatment.
Everything went well every day except the fact that she missed her daughter so much.
The only change was that she became more silent, sometimes even quieter than Jordan. She has
become so emotionless.
Every day, she was either playing the cellphone mindlessly or just sitting on the wheelchair and
watching the scenery at the park.
She got all the news about the world outside from her cellphone. She didn't dare go out to public
places.
She also received the news about Nicole's birthday just on her cellphone. It was reported online that
Harry had held a grand birthday party in a five-star hotel to celebrate his daughter's fourth birthday.
The daughter of the mayor, Cherry, was invited. The gossip and rumors also came out immediately that
Harry and Cherry's wedding day was already drawing near.
As a matter of fact, many gossipers, while hating Lola and Yolanda, also felt sympathy for Harry.
The weddings with these two women both went to ultimate failure.
Days went by passively. After two months, Lola was still on the wheelchair.
She had been in the house for these two months. Sometimes, she chatted with Wendy and Lillian in
the yard.
How she would spend the night and how much she missed her daughter were things that she would
keep only to herself.
The winter finally came. Lola sat by the window, with her thick jacket on. She was watching the first
snow of A Country.
She remembered the first drop of snow in last year's winter. Nicole was still very little. She has just
learnt the words, "Mommy", while showing her cute teeth.
Things had been totally different this year. Nicole was away from her and there was no chance that she
can see her.
She boringly took out the cellphone and browsed on Weibo.
On the hot topics, the first tweet turned out to be the tweet of Harry. There was only a picture, showing
Nicole and Cherry holding each other.
So Nicole had accepted another woman to be her stepmother already?
Tears ran down her face. She had never thought that one day, her own daughter would call another
woman as her own mom.
She saved the picture and cropped Cherry off, only leaving her daughter on it. Then she set the picture
of her daughter as the wallpaper on her screen.
Before the Spring Festival. President Han's daughter got married, and he invited all the people in the
Li's family to attend the wedding ceremony.
With the army welcoming the leaders of other countries that day, Harold, Angie and Jordan didn't
attend the proceedings.
Landon already aged and was in bad health. He caught a cold so he didn't come, either.
At last, only Lillian, who was three months pregnant, and Lola who was on the wheel chair, went to the
wedding ceremony.
Lola had intended not to go. Her situation now would cause much trouble to others.
But Mr. Han said to Harold that his daughter wanted to see Lola. So Lola obediently changed her
clothes and went to the ceremony with Lillian.
With the driver's help, Lola went to the hotel.
She looked outside the window blankly, and remembered that when Mr. Han took office, Harry had
come to celebrate.
Would he show up again with Nicole this time around?
It didn't matter whether he would show up or not. She only cared about her daughter. She really missed
her, and each day without her had been slowly tearing her heart apart.
"Sister, what are you thinking?" Lillian noticed that Lola was only staring outside blankly and asked her
in a worried tone.
Lola came to her senses and shook her head, "Nothing. It has been too long since I went out last time.
Everything outside seemed strange to me."
Lillian sighed in her heart. The news about her failed wedding had also gotten a lot of attention recently.
Although the news had been kept in secret online, there were still a lot of people gossiping in private.
Basically, many people heard about the news that Lola had killed Harry's mother with a gun. But the
statement that came from Harry's side was in a different version. People wanted to discuss it but were
afraid of talking too much. The police and the government had both kept their mouths shut about the
topic.
"Don't think too much. I will be with you." She didn't want to think about Rose's death. But she really
hoped that Lola didn't kill her. She still believed that Lola was actually innocent.
Lola turned back her head and smiled at her, "I'm okay. It's only... That I missed Nicole a little." It's
much more than little. She herself did not know how to describe how much she longed to be with her
daughter.
When they arrived at the hotel, the driver helped Lola get out of the car. She sat on the wheelchair with
Lillian volunteering to push it for her.
A pair of sisters, one in green dress, and the other in a blue one, appeared at the gate of the hotel.
They instantly attracted the gaze of many people.
Lillian was dressed in a sky blue down jacket. Because of the pregnancy, she ate a lot of nutritious
food, and her skin brightened and became smoother.
Lola was clad in a green coat. She got thinner these past two months. Her eyes were not as bright and
clear as they were before. It gave people the impression that Lola had been depressed.
"Miss... Li?" The voice halted Lola and Lillian. She realized that Joshua was actually greeting the
guests at the gate of the hotel. He was dressed formally in a suit and there was a brooch bearing the
word 'bridegroom' on his chest.
... Joshua was the son-in-law of President Han? Lola was extremely surprised.
It was not long since she saw him last time. Now, he would be married to the daughter of Mr. Han!
"You... Congratulations, Joshua! I'm so happy for you!" Lola had intended to ask him about his
marriage, but finally she just offered her congratulations.
Joshua nodded shyly, "How are you doing lately, Miss Li? I have missed talking to you." He had heard
about the issues and conflicts of Lola. He heard that she had failed to commit a suicide after killing a
person. He had also heard that she became paralyzed.
It turned out that it was true as he saw her on the wheelchair.
Lola smiled in bitterness, "Except my legs, I'm all well." She pointed to her legs while smiling lightly.
"Have you recovered?"
"Yes. I think I'm better now." She tried her best to speak with a light and casual tone. After all, today
was supposed to be a happy day for the couple. She should not spoil the atmosphere.
Joshua nodded at her and Lillian. "Here, let me help you!" He took over the handle of the wheelchair
and pushed Lola into the hotel.
"Thank you. I'm really sorry for the trouble." Lola felt a little ashamed. She was not used to these
gestures.
