Leila stood for a long time. She was almost sunburnt but she still felt cold.
She went back to the ward again and her mother was sitting alone in front of the sickbed. The heart monitor and the ventilator were both working. Brian was lying quietly on the bed with his lips a little crooked. Leila looked at him, who was sleeping and seemed to have been in a coma.
Then, Leila saw her mother staring blankly and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. It seemed that she had aged too much in one night.
As soon as Mabel turned around and saw Leila, she looked at her in a daze and said gently after a long time, “Leila, why did Vincent do this to you?”
It turned out that her mother had already known about it. Leila’s heart ached, and she became speechless with a cry.
“How could your father withstand this blow! He’s always been so strong, so determined. How can he bear to live with it?” Mabel whispered.
“Mum …” Leila was even more upset.
“Leila, Vincent has let Mum down too much!” Mabel said again.
Leila lowered her head, and her tears were almost falling down.
Someone suddenly came to the ward at that moment. Mabel regained her emotional composure as she stood up and walked to the door. Leila heard she shouted, “Secretary Newman, you don’t have to come if you’re too busy as Brian’s life is no longer in danger!”
Then, dozens of municipal party committee leaders walked in, the atmosphere was solemn and serious.
Secretary Newman even said in a deep voice, “Mrs. Hunter, Brian is a good leader, and he cared much about his people. We are deeply saddened by his illness. On behalf of the municipal party committee and government, I have come to see him and hope that he will recover soon and return to work!”
Leila bowed her head, and suddenly she felt like a sinner. She hadn’t been able to get the video back and everything seemed to be her fault. Her heart overflowed with bitterness and her head hung down low. She was in the corner and heard her mother say, “Thank you for your concern!”
Later, Secretary Newman and his party didn’t stay much longer. They just told her mum to take care of her dad, then looked at her again and left. Eventually, Director Gordon, Julian Gordon’s father, saw Leila. He gave her a very thoughtful glance and said, “Leila, take care of your father!”
Leila nodded her head and sent them away.
She ran outside to answer a strange phone call, and a plain voice came from the other end. “Leila, are you okay?”
Leila was slightly stunned and asked back indifferently, “What do you think?”
“Actually, I’m a victim too!” Charles’s voice seemed to leak a hint of grievance. “That is my body and your sister’s after all!”
“Are you okay?” Leila asked.
“I just want to say, be strong!” Charles’s tone was very sincere.
However, Leila spoke in a cold voice, “I don’t need your phoney mercy!”
“Hold on, Leila, my boss wants to talk to you!”
Leila was about to hang up the phone, but once she heard it was Vincent’s mother, she continued listening, “What can I do for you?”
“Leila, the problem between the Hunter family and the White family has been more than a couple of days, if you don’t want things to get embarrassing, please divorce Vin immediately!” Nora said on the other end, “You should know that I don’t like you!”
“Is that so?” Leila asked back grimly, tugging at the corners of her lips, “You’ve done all this painstakingly to get him to leave me, have you?”
At this point, Leila understood one thing that she and Vincent simply could not live out their lives happily. That’s just it, because there was really too much resistance between them.
“By the way, Vin is attending a blind date banquet right now! Do you want to come? We’re at HJ Hotel!”
The phone hung up!
Leila was stunned.
Was he impatient already? He was going on a blind date before the divorce was granted?
Leila put down the phone in disbelief. She took a deep breath, went downstairs to look for a taxi and rushed to HJ Hotel.
The banquet hall was very busy at the moment. He was really impatient to have a party in the middle of the day.
As she walked into the hall, the buzzing scene made Leila feel out of place. She couldn’t be a wealthy lady after all.
Vincent was already annoyed, and he really didn’t expect his mother to do this. There was no notice at all beforehand, so he was really caught off guard. His mother had threatened him, and he could not accept that threat any more. He could only stand here with a cold, handsome face, even though he really couldn’t stand for a second at the moment.
There was even a Japanese woman who came up to talk to him in broken Chinese. His eyes immediately became indifferent and sharp, and his face was featured clearly. Under his thick black eyebrows, the eyes were like deep pools, deep and dark, and his slightly pursed lips were even colder. “Vincent!” Leila finally saw him, and there were several beautiful women with slender figures standing beside him. She smiled and stepped forward to talk to him without the fear of his indifference.
Leila took a deep breath and walked over in stride.
When Vincent turned around and saw Leila, he was a little stunned. She walked forward and took a deep breath, “Mr. White!”
“Leila? Why are you here?” Vincent swept his eyes around and saw the cold stare of his mother not far away and instantly understood what was going on.
“Let’s get a divorce!” Leila said quietly.
“Go back!” He immediately said in a deep voice. His whole face pulled down and his heart ached even more inexplicably.
Leila just calmly took out the credit card he gave her from her bag, “This money is for you to buy some supplements. How can you serve more ladies when you always have impotence? Don’t you think so?”
Vincent’s handsome face suddenly darkened, his gaze coldly glancing at her figure as she tried to leave and he said in a deep voice, “Stop!”
She stopped in her tracks, slowly turned around and smiled, “Anything else?”
His mouth turned up and his deep eyes flinched as he took a step in front of her. He bent down before he could say anything as she abruptly lifted her foot and kicked him hard in the testicles!
“Mr. White, it’s trendy to have a pain in the testicles these days! You are welcome!” She turned around again amidst the gasps of the crowd.
Vincent covered his lower body. His body hunched over and slowly crouched down with a storm of destruction flashing inside his eyes …
Leila turned away in the sight of the crowd, straightening her back and not being humble.
Nora also seemed to have not expected Leila to be like this. Meanwhile, appreciation flashed once again in Charles’s eyes. What an interesting girl.
Vincent slowly stood up and walked out in stride in front of the stunned eyes of the crowd, the gloomy look in his eyes made him look even more cold and stern. Leila had just given him a kick that had actually hit him in the vitals, but the fact that the little liar actually did not trust him made him feel like a blow and a shout. His body almost fell to the ground with a sway, which was really a double whammy.
Vincent walked faster and faster, an icy aura radiating from his body.
“Vin …” Nora chased after him. “Don’t go out!”
“Get out of the way!” The cold voice was like a millennium of ice, and the eyes that looked at Nora were even colder. His eyes shot straight at Nora, and his look instantly caused her to freeze up her spine and take a step back.
Vincent crossed over her and took a big step after her, “Leila, wait …”
“No!” Leila turned back as she walked away, not wishing to have any entanglement with him at all.
“Leila, I said, stop!” Both of them had already walked out of the hall. Vincent’s low voice raised icily, striding up after her and pulling her arm, “Do you hear me?”
“No!” Leila was forced to stop and look back at him, “Let’s get a divorce!”
“Damn it!” Vincent snapped, then his big hands pulled her into his hug, “Didn’t I say that you’re my woman after all!”
“But it’s my father who is sick, and it’s my father who is so angry about this matter that he has a stroke, not your father!” Leila yelled back.
“Yes! It was your father who was sick, but it was my father who died in the first place!” Vincent yelled out the same way. They were stunned at the same time after yelling!
Leila stared at Vincent, who was also in a daze, and her body felt as if she had fallen into an ice pond.
“I know, is that enough? My dad may never go back to work. Is it enough for him to live the rest of his life like this, with his mouth partially paralyzed, or even with his mouth drooling when he opens it? Will your mother let go?” Leila’s face darkened and her eyes grew cold. “My sister put her life on the line for this, what else do you want? Are you going to bring me to my knees again? Make me put my life on the line too? I’ve already sacrificed it!”
Vincent’s eyes ached and his heart cut like a knife, “I didn’t do this!”
“Does it matter now if it’s you who did it? Do you think we can still stay together? Vincent, do you think I can still be with you while watching my father who was left with the sequelae of a stroke and then laughing happily with you? Do you think I can still do that? Can you?” Leila asked feebly, the feeling of difficulty in breathing growing stronger. She felt so breathless and uncomfortable.
“Leila, is divorce going to solve the problem?” Vincent looked into her eyes in pain. He was responsible for this matter, but he didn’t know that his mother still had the secretly taken video there. If he had known, he should have destroyed it long ago, not to mention that his mother still had the video there. As for when the video was taken, he didn’t even know. An unprecedented sense of frustration hit him, making him feel unbearable pain.
Leila’s eyes were covered with silent emotions, her beautiful water-like eyes looked at Vincent in dead silence. “Mr. White, I believe you didn’t do it, but what can I do? I just can’t go on with you anymore! I can’t convince myself! Let’s get a divorce!”
“Leila, think about it again!” Vincent’s dull voice was even lower and deeper than usual. He looked at the expressionless Leila with chagrin, and suddenly tightened the force on his arm, pulling her into his arms and holding her tightly. When Leila raised her head in dismay, a kiss with love and affection pressed over wildly, leaving no chance to resist.
Leila was stunned by the sudden kiss, and quickly tried to push Vincent’s body away. Unfortunately, his arms were like chains tightly imprisoning her body, and his cold lips assaulted her lips with suppressed desire in an open and unbridled manner.
Not a sloppy kiss, but one with a stormy wildness, sucking on her lips as if to ignite the fire of lust on her lips.
She resisted, but the tingling sensation on her lips gradually became clearer. Her eyes were closed and her body was rigid. Her numb face had a faint look of detachment. Even though she didn’t refuse, Vincent could feel that she was just coldly bearing a sudden kiss.
“Damn it!” Vincent suddenly opened his eyes under the intoxication and met Leila’s indifferent and heartless face.
Instantly, the burning passion was extinguished completely, and his hand holding her shoulder tightened angrily, “Did my kisses make you feel this awkward? Are you really this heartless? Damn it!”
