Seeing that Hal didn't ask what happened to Rachel immediately, Polly Han blamed him with a faint
smile, "what were you doing just now? I called you so many times, but you didn't answer my phone.
I've been worried about you for a long time."
With a casual smile, he slumped into his chair and asked, "what are you worried about? Are you afraid
that I get lost? "
"Of course I'm not afraid that you get lost! I'm just worried... "
She was wearing a wine red T-shirt and a pair of cropped jeans. The exposed arms and legs were so
slim as if they could be broken by the pinch. Then she looked at his cheeks, the cheeks were high, his
eyelids sunken, and his face was unusually sallow.
There were too many things in the past few days, so she hadn't watched him carefully. Hal was
incredibly thin.
When she remembered what she was about to tell him, she suddenly didn't know what to say.
"What are you worried about?" "I was washing my brother's hair just now, but he didn't answer the
phone. I'm sorry," said Hal, trying to avoid her gaze
He didn't know since when he didn't dare to look into her eyes for a long time. Her eyes were as clear
as a lake in the clear spring light, which could reflect his mind.
He was afraid that he couldn't help telling her his true feelings.
Perhaps, it was time to leave.
"Hal, take care of yourself. Many people might have said that to you. Don't mind my long winded words.
" 'people with poor health are usually very sensitive and paranoid, and they don't like others to mention
about his health.
She had been with Hal for more than one year, but she had tried her best to not mention about him. But
when he really cared about someone, he couldn't help showing his concerns even if he had tried his
best to control his emotions.
Hearing that, Hal raised his eyebrows and impatiently said, "I will definitely get annoyed with your long
winded words. My body belongs to myself, so how could I not protect it? You are talking nonsense! "
"Fine, I'm the fifth wheel." "You just mentioned your brother. How is he now? Are you getting better? "
"Not bad. And I'll stay in hospital for a while, under observation. "
"Then..." Suddenly, Polly's phone rang. It was from Rachel. She frowned and answered the phone,
"Rachel, what's wrong?"
No one could hear his voice at the other end of the phone. A burst of miserable and oppressive sobs
sounded like the low roars of a trapped beast. Despair, helplessness, helplessness and helplessness.
She was frightened and raised her voice: "Rachel, what's wrong with you?"
"Polly! My mom, my mom passed out! She, she..." Rachel cried out with her voice blurred. It took a
long time for Polly to identify those words.
"Take your time, Rachel. Calm down."
"Dear Polly, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry!" Rachel immediately hung up the phone. No
matter how many times she called, she didn't answer.
Polly took a look at Hal, her eyes full of guilt and helplessness. Even if she couldn't speak, she had to.
"Are you calling from Rachel?" "Did she ask you to plead for her mother?" he asked coldly
"No, Hal. You got me wrong. But she didn't ask me to do so. It was I who wanted to plead for her.
Instead, she persuaded me not to do that. She was afraid that I would be in a dilemma. "
"So you are going to beg me?"
Polly was silent.
"The fact is not the same. In a word, the final result is that you ask me to help you. You're so sincere for
her. Do you know what kind of person she is? Do you know what kind of method she has used to make
our family let go of her mother? "
"If I had known she was your friend, I would have advised you not to have relationship with that kind of
person. You are really..." He paused for a while and then said, "I can't say it!"
"Hal, don't be so excited." "Think about it calmly and sincerely. No matter what she has done, it is
understandable that she does it for her own mother. "
"You are lying because you have no idea what she has done! Dear Polly, I have to say, if you put this
thing aside... " He suddenly realized that the compared situation was even worse because his parents
had just suffered a catastrophe last time.
He immediately corrected himself, "no one would be as shameless as Rachel is when it comes to this
matter!"
"Hal, things are not that absolute. You won't understand until you have faced that difficult choice! "
If Hal knew that she had married Bruce because of her parents, nobody knew how he would react. He
would say that she was depraved and irresponsible.
"Yes, I don't understand! So I can't accept it! "
Polly didn't know how Rachel made trouble with him, but she was too naive to clear up the
misunderstanding. That was impossible. He didn't even want to mention it.
She decided to change another way.
"Hal, let's talk about her mother, not Rachel. She has suffered so much. Do you have the heart to let a
poor and lonely old man suffer that? "
There was a moment of pity in Hal's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He said coldly, "Dear Polly,
things are not like what you think. If my brother's food poisoning was deliberately done by someone,
would you believe it?"
"Designed? Is it a trap set up by our peers? "
"No! If it's all because of our peers, I won't let go of Rachel? Who do you think I am? "
"So what on earth is it like. Hal, if you don't tell me, how can the misunderstanding be solved? "
"There's no misunderstanding between us! Dear Polly, what should I say to make you understand?
What did she do to you that makes you believe her so deeply that you even suspect me! "
"Hal, I don't suspect you! You are just like her. We are both friends. I just want you to live in peace... "
"I will never keep peace with her!" "If you want to make friends with her or me, who will you choose? If I
tell you that if you go on pleading for her, we won't even be friends. Will you still be so stubborn? "
"Hal, i..."
"You said that you wanted me to think about Rachel's mother. Her mother had suffered a lot. What
about my brother? Is everything going smoothly? Do you know what he has suffered? If my brother
was poisoned this time, even death would be in vain for her. "
"Hal, please be reasonable? Now your brother is fine, isn't he? You can't just ignore me! "
"Who said my brother was fine? He suffered a lot because of the poison! In a word, the culprit must be
punished, and I won't give in! "
"It's useless that you don't yield! I have the final say on this matter! "
The door of the ward was pushed open. Harrison walked in with his hands rolling the wheelchair.
"Brother, why are you here?" Hal hastily ran over to help his brother push his wheelchair and scolded,
"didn't the doctor tell you to have more rest! Where is your nursing assistant? "
"Hal, why are you being so verbose?" With a frown, he continued with a faint smile, "but the doctor also
said that I can't stay in the ward all day long. He asked me to do more exercise."
"The doctor just asked you to have a small range of exercise first..."
"I came here by elevator and wheelchair all the way, so I'm not tired at all. Hal, your brother is a man.
Can you not protect me like a woman? "
"Can't you put on one more coat?"
"I've already worn enough. What else do you want me to wear? I'm not a woman who can stay in
confinement of childbirth. "
Through the interaction between the two brothers of the Xia clan, she saw a different Hal. He was
concerned, considerate and calm.
His playful look was completely disappeared. In fact, he may not be like that. He just presented himself
most charming in front of everyone.
"Stop talking, Hal. Wait outside. I need to talk to Miss Han. "
Hearing that, Hal immediately stopped him and said, "brother, don't be silly. Since you don't know her,
what can you say?" Then he tried to push Harrison out of the room.
"No, I can! As for what I'm going to say, I'll say whatever I want to say. It has nothing to do with you! "
Harrison grabbed the wheel so that he wouldn't hurt his brother.
"Brother, stop talking about it. Let's go back."
"No way! Hal, I just told you, men of the Xia clan should be able to pick them up and leave them alone!
Just a word. What are you afraid of? "
After all, he was her brother.
Ten minutes later, Hal came to Polly's ward in a hurry. He came back after he had sent Harrison off.
He looked a little embarrassed. It seemed that he had mustered his courage before he said, "Dear
Polly. No matter what my brother said to you just now, don't take it to heart. He likes being
exaggerated. There was nothing happened in the beginning, but he talked about it and made me look
bad! "
Polly was still thinking about the last sentence that Harrison said, but she didn't hear what Hal said.
"Miss Han, I just hope that you can remember one thing. You owe Hal a big favor and you will pay him
back someday. If you are willing to give yourself to him, he won't mind. "
Harrison agreed to withdraw the case and would not sue Rachel's mother. This trouble had finally come
to an end. But he was a bit humorous. She couldn't help blushing when she thought of the words Avril
said to her, which were about the fact that Hal liked her.
If Hal really liked her, their friendship was nothing but a reflection. She had no courage to face it at all.
"Dear Polly, I'm talking to you. What are you thinking about?"
