Cosset You Forever

Chapter 224 Was He Falling in Love with Someone

"Go and ask what he has bought. We need to know." Looking at the blood oozing from his hand, he knew what was going on.

The bodyguard, despite his years of training, was so scared that he almost lost his voice. At that moment, he suddenly heard the cold voice from the phone and frantically replied, "Yes! Mr. Si!"

Quickly hanging up the phone, the bodyguard watched Thomas Herren go into the apartment and then trot to a pharmacy.

"Hello. I want the same medicine which the gentleman earlier has just bought. Do it fast."

The cashier looked strangely at the bodyguard who was wearing sunglasses and requested the doctor to give him the same prescription.

After checking out, he looked at the name of the pillbox and called back Harry.

Harry, who was cleaning his wound in a very worried face, looked much better when he heard the name of the medicine.

"Then who was the one hurt?" His voice was not so cold as before, which relieved the bodyguard's worries.

"Err...I didn't see Mr. Herren injured. Though I watched him enter the apartment in a very anxious manner. So I'm afraid it might be... Miss Li." The bodyguard was just guessing. But his instinct was almost always correct.

"Okay, keep watching and be alert. If you can't guarantee her safety, you all know what the consequences are!" He slowly wiped his fingers with alcohol under the bright light, and put his phone on the rosewood table. He put the loudspeaker on so he could immediately hear about any updates.

He looked a bit relaxed as if he did not feel any pain from the fingers. But his mind was racing as he went through every scenario possible.

"Yes, Boss Si! We'll make it!" In a short while, the polite voice of the bodyguard was heard from the background. Harry hung up the phone.

"Lola, are you really happy when you are with me?

Or you want both of us? Is this what you really want?

If so, Lola, you are so greedy!" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

And he, Harry Si, wouldn't allow it to happen!

In the condo.

Thomas opened the pain reliever, pulled Lola's arm closer to him and applied the ointment on it.

The scalded skin was swelling, but there was no trace of blisters. So it was not too serious... He felt very relieved.

"It's okay, I can do it myself!" Looking at the man in front of her, she felt a bit awkward and wanted to refuse his sweet gesture.

Thomas gave a glance at her and applied more lightly. "It's done. Take the ointment with you so you can do it yourself."

She nodded. "Thanks. Drink the soup yourself! You need a lot! Haha." She smiled playfully.

Ha! No one was more playful and teasing than her! But he liked it...

Thomas looked at her with a grin. "Good. I will." He washed all the utensils and placed two bowls of soup in front of them.

Lola did not want to take it, but she didn't refuse since he already did it. It would be so impolite of her if she didn't eat too.

"Does the wound still hurt?" After finishing the soup, she looked at his arm with an air of concern.

"It's all right. It's not a big deal." He was kidnapped when he was very young and had suffered more serious injuries than this.

"Well, all right." She looked at the watch on her wrist. "Go to bed early. I have to go now." She said, standing up slowly from the couch.

Thomas nodded. "It's so late. Park your car here and let me drive you home."

Lola shook her head. She had bodyguards sent by Harry, and a car following her. She would be safe.

"Don't worry. I have bodyguards." She replied quickly.

He nodded, walked out of the door of the apartment with her, and pressed the button of the elevator. "You should go back now. The car is parked downstairs. Please do take care."

Thomas walked in with her to the elevator. "Let's go. I will walk you to the car."

Lola did not refuse again. They walked out of the apartment together.

It was already 11 pm. The night view outside the apartment was hazy and beautiful. A sudden gust of cold wind made Lola shiver. She felt that she was going to have a fever.

Thomas, seeing the woman rub her arms to make her warm, said, "Wait a minute, I'll get you a coat!" He returned to the apartment in a haste.

But Lola pulled on his sleeves. "No, I will be fine as soon as I get in the car." She shook her head with a very charming smile.

They walked to her Maserati. He watched her get into the car and waved goodbye to her.

Lola drove back to the villa and went slowly upstairs. When she passed by Jordan's study, she saw the light of the room still on. She became curious.

Jordan was still awake? This was unusual of him.

She knocked on the door, and it was Jordan himself who opened it. A cigarette was half-smoked and pinched between his fingers. He looked a bit off.

"Brother, why haven't you had a rest yet? It's already late."

Seeing his sister, Jordan went back to the study and put out the cigarette. "Well, just off work?"

"No, I went to see Thomas. He was injured because of me. I stayed to make sure he was okay." She followed him to his table and briefly explained.

Jordan was deep in his thoughts. "On that night? Was it serious? If he needs any help, we can always provide assistance."

"No, he looked fine." She curiously picked up a piece of paper on the table, and it was scrawled with a... a name?

Sharon Qiao. She read it.

Jordan's face changed and frowned. He pulled the paper out of his sister's hand and crumpled it. He immediately threw it into the trash can.

Lola was stunned. Who was this woman? Was he falling in love with someone? His brother had never been this off before.

"Stop thinking about it. She will come tomorrow." Jordan said to her in a soft, emotionless voice. His secret was exposed for the first time which made him feel really uncomfortable.

Who? Was it... "Wendy?" She was pleasantly surprised. She felt excited for her brother.

Jordan looked at Lola's surprised face and nodded with the corners of his mouth slightly twitching.

"Is she coming to take wedding photos tomorrow?" Lola instantly forgot the name she saw and was filled with joy.

She was too busy to contact Wendy recently. But fortunately she would come tomorrow! She felt relieved.

"Yes." What's gone is gone. From now on, his wife was Wendy Yu.

Lola went back to her room happily after talking some more with Jordan about Wendy. They indeed had a good heart-to-heart talk.

Looking at the closed door, Jordan gazed at the paper in the trash.

The next day.

Knowing that Wendy was coming today, Lola did not work overtime and declined an invitation to a party in order to return home early.

As soon as she entered the villa, she saw many people talking to each other in glee.

Just then, two people rushed at her.

"Mommy!"

"Lola!"

The familiar voices were simultaneous to each other. Lola's eyes filled with joy as she quickly changed her shoes, holding Nicole in her arms.

After she kissed her daughter, she put the little girl on the ground and approached the woman in a lavender skirt.

"Lola!"

"My dear Wendy, I have missed you so much!"

The two hugged tightly. They hadn't seen each other for a few years!

Looking at them, people in the living room all smiled.

After a long while of not seeing each other, they were very excited to talk and tell stories. "I'll be able to see you every day. This is so good!" Saying that, Lola lovingly kissed Wendy on her cheek.

The laughter of Angie Gong and Janne Zhang, Wendy's mother, echoed in the living room. Janne was well assured about her daughter's marriage life when she saw Lola and Angie. She realized that their family was very warm and welcoming.

"Mommy, why did you kiss auntie?" Nicole looked at them confusingly. They had been embracing each other for a long time.

Despite being far from each other, their friendship was still tightly-knit. Wendy smiled and picked up Nicole. "Because Auntie and Mommy are very good friends!"

Lola led Wendy and Nicole to the living room.

Landon Li was sitting still on the couch. Harold and Jordan were on his left and right. The night of joy had just started.
