After calming down her breath and heartbeat, Leila raised her head slowly and moved away her hand that was on Vincent’s shoulder. Her cold voice was totally not affected by the excitement that happened just now, “Let go of me.”
“Leila?” Vincent was stunned when he noticed her indifferent look then he hugged her again immediately. He said with his low tone as if he was begging her humbly, “Please don’t. Please don’t leave.”
“We are not suitable to be together anymore.” Leila shook her head and moved away her eyes because she could not bear to look at the disappointment on his face.
He used to be someone who was confident and proud to the extent that she had no chance to tease as well as hurt him. But, the video that went viral online was about her sister and the person who was in the hospital was her father.
“Leila.” Vincent moaned and Leila felt deeply hurt when listening to his emotional words.
Over the years, this was the first time for Vincent to be so desperate in obtaining something except for his career. However, the fate was cruel.
“I want to divorce. I am truly exhausted. Please let me go, Mr White!” Leila said it in a voice of entreaty.
When Vincent wished to get more from her, she only gave him an indifferent look. Vincent smiled dejectedly and said, “We should calm down before doing anything!”
There was unwillingness, repentance and pain in Vincent’s eyes and he held Leila’s hand tightly while looking at her eyes. He said, “Leila, you may come back to my side anytime.”
Previously, she indeed hoped that he would care about her and loved her a lot. But now, the occurrence of this incident had destroyed every wonderful expectation. How could she bear it? What could she do to face it?
Leila’s expressions were increasingly indifferent when she looked at her father who hadn’t woken up. She moved away her hand that was grabbed by Vincent and sighed calmly, “I am sorry. I will send you a divorce letter via a lawyer.”
She had no choice but was forced to do so because she could not accept the truth. “Mr White, take care!”
He grabbed her small hands again with his big hands and looked at her blankly. His eyesight was concentrated and firm until he was reluctant to release his hands.
Leila did not dare to turn around and looked at him because she worried that she could not bear from crying. However, he held her hands tightly and she could feel his rushing breath, “Leila, we could not be separated like this!”
She turned around and noticed that his eyes were red at that moment. This was her first time to witness such an emotion from him.
She was broken-hearted and he grabbed her hands tightly as if she would disappear after letting go his hands.
She saw there were tears in his eyes and suddenly, she wondered why this would be so tough? Why was it so difficult to love someone? Why would it be so hard to let go of the hands?
She strained every nerve in stopping herself from crying. Sneering was the most merciless weapon like those sharp knives to break the relationship between them. “Vincent, can we not be separated? What would those people say if we continued to stay together? Who would be the next casualty?”
“No means no!” He was almost yelling.
He grabbed her hands forcefully, resulting in pain on her hands. She restrained herself from dropping tears. In her mind, his appearance and everything related to him were becoming vague gradually.
“Let go!” She said.
“No!” He rejected her.
Her nose was sore and her legs turned weak. She felt there was severe pain in her chest and it seemed like everything was spinning in her eyes. She could also feel that her whole body was trembling.
Her tone was even changed but she was able to say it clearly, “You need to let go of me. Could you travel to the past? Could you stop all the tragedies from occurring? If things continue, could you predict what will happen next?”
Looking at her face, he was extremely upset.
He looked at her and started to speak after a while with a hoarse tone because he could not suppress his distress. “Why would this be so hard?”
“Yeah, why would it be so hard?” She muttered and asked him as well as herself.
She tended to withdraw her fingers from the gap but he refused. She opened his finger one by one and finally took back her hand. Then, she turned around.
What was left in his eyes was her resolute figure, it was so determined and at that moment, he was distressed while witnessing her resolute act when she turned away from him.
Looking at her back, he did not know how to chase after her!
He slowly lowered his hands and put them at his side.
Leila walked into the lift hurriedly and tears were blurring her eyesight. She walked out from the building and headed towards the road. She walked for a long time before she was finally back to her senses. At that moment, she felt sorrowful.
She felt that her life was so tough and she squatted at the roadside and then bawled in her arms. She cried for an hour long until she felt dizzy. She ignored all the attention given from the pedestrians and just simply wiped away her tears before walking forward again. Along the way, her tears were dropping incessantly.
She never knew that it was so hurtful to love someone as if her heart was taken away by someone with knives! Three thousand and six hundred knives! The feeling was beyond pain and it came with dizziness as well as suffocation. All the emotions were stirred in it.
‘Vincent, I love you. So, I need to leave!’
‘I afraid that I would not love you anymore when things continue so I need to leave now!’
‘Let it be over! I can’t face you anymore!’
‘Let’s still have a bit of nostalgia in our hearts, so it will not be gone at the end of the pain.’
She cried desperately until no tears were flowing out from her eyes. The distress and sorrow never disappear from her heart.
After Leila left, Vincent stood at the corner outside the door of the hall. He lowered his head to lit his cigarette with his trembling hands. He did not lit it successfully for the first time and finally got it done after a few attempts. He raised his head and frowned deeply.
He smoked a few cigarettes continuously while showing a gloomy look and did not say anything before walking back into the building.
“Vincent!” Charles appeared from the side and portrayed a worried expression on his face. He said, “Are you alright?”
Nora kept a cold face and her eyes were like giving a warning.
Vincent’s strict face showed a cold smile and his eyes were even deeper. With his cold expressions, he was like a king walking out from the dark and his eyes were scary.
The guests were surprised but they knew Mr White’s testis was kicked, and he looked gloomy.
Bump! Vincent punched heavily on Charles’s chin. Under the strong force, Charles who was thin and tall stepped backwards before stabilizing his body.
“Vincent!” Charles was astonished and wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth. He stared at Vincent because he was puzzled.
Although Vincent’s facial expressions were indifferent, he was extremely angry. At that moment, Vincent’s fist was coming for the second time.
Charles who felt annoyed originally did not give in at this time. Both of them punched each other without using any skills because they were just venting their anger.
“What are you all doing? What are both of you doing?” Nora yelled with her sharp voice, “Stop it!”
However, both of the men did not listen to her words and continued to fight together.
The Japanese guests were shocked.
“Guys! Call the security to separate them!” Nora’s sharp voice echoed through the entire ballroom.
But who dared to approach them?
The two men just punched each other for venting their anger and after a few minutes, the security guards finally stepped forward courageously to separate them because Nora was yelling.
Charles pulled open his tie and lied on the floor while panting heavily. There were bruises on his face.
Although having great skills, Vincent was not having the advantage since the corner of his mouth was broken and one of his eyes was swollen. After venting, the anger in his heart was reduced.
“It’s none of my business! I do not send it!” Charles felt wronged so he totally did not give in.
Vincent did not speak anything and stood up. He stared at Nora with his cold eyes and then left rapidly.
“Stand there!” Nora yelled at him.
Vincent halted and turned around steadily, “Are you satisfied now? What do you gain?”
Nora was shocked and grinned. “You know me that I will not give up unless I obtain my objective. It is never too late to seek revenge!”
Vincent laughed coldly and left with a sentence, “As long as you are happy!”
When Leila returned to the hospital, Brian already opened his eyes. When he saw Leila, his eyes were concentrated on her face only. He did not say anything but looked at her only with his complicated eyes.
“Dad!” Leila moaned with sobs.
“Leila…” Brian called her and his saliva flew out from his mouth when he tried to speak. His pronunciation was not clear too but they barely could hear what he said.
Leila suddenly felt sad because his dad who used to be elegant and have a high reputation ended up like this. After a brain stroke, couldn’t his calm personality withstand such a blow?
“Daddy, I am sorry!” There were only a few words. But, Leila felt a sore throat and almost sobbed.
Mabel helped Brian to wipe away his saliva with a piece of tissue. “Brian, don’t be nervous. You can speak it clearly!”
He wanted to express something but he could not say it verbally so he was very nervous. When he was annoyed, he waved his hand to push Mabel away. He only shouted, “Leila…”
“Daddy, what do you want to say? Say it.” Leila felt distressed. “I am listening, Daddy!”
Mabel’s hand was rigid and turned around her head to wipe away her tears.
“…” Brian said something but Leila and Mabel could not understand him. When they could not understand him, he became increasingly nervous. Eventually, he tried a few more attempts but in vain. His saliva was kept flowing out and he kept hitting the bed forcefully with his hands.
“Daddy, you can’t be nervous. It is no use for you to be nervous. As long as you are willing to train, you will be better for sure. Don’t worry. Let me guess, alright? If I guess it correctly, you nod and you shake your head when it is wrong, alright?” Leila tried to communicate with his father with this method.
Brian immediately nodded.
There was finally a way of communication and Leila kept guessing what his father was thinking in his mind. “Daddy, are you asking where my sister is?”
Brian moaned and nodded.
“I tried to call her but no one answered the phone!” Leila tried to contact her via phone for a few attempts. “But, I will find her, Daddy!”
Brian shook his head.
