Cosset You Forever

"When did I come out of Mando Bay?" Lola asked the bodyguard standing nearest to her. She remembered someone picking her up. It must have been Harry.

"About three o'clock this morning," the bodyguard replied with great respect.

Lola then continued chatting with the bodyguard.

Almost an hour later, the bodyguards heard a sound coming from the nearby road.

They saw a military vehicle equipped with carriages and an off-road vehicle approaching them.

Immediately, the bodyguards surrounded Lola pushing her in the inner circle and became highly vigilant.

Lola was moved by what they did as they were protecting her at the cost of their own lives.

As the vehicle came closer, the bodyguards saw who were riding in the vehicles. Once their identities were confirmed, they visibly relaxed.

They made way for the men who got off.

Lola saw that the men who alighted from the vehicles were her elder brother, Jordan and her husband, Harry. Seeing them safe, she happily ran to them and embraced Harry.

Harry tightly hugged her and gave her a long kiss.

Seeing the two lovebirds, Jordan and the bodyguards looked away.

"You are showing love wherever you are. Boss Si, My Lady, have you ever considered how we feel?" grumbled one of the bodyguards.

Lola had not expected Harry to kiss her. "People are watching us!" She blushed and pushed her husband away.

She then noticed that Harry's arm was bandaged. "What happened there? And what happened to your arm?" Lola asked with great anxiety.

"Nothing serious. Lucien, who was cunning as a fox, shot me," he briefly told her.

"Was he hurt?" She thought. "Did you visit a doctor?" She asked, her eyes wide with concern.

"Don't worry, the bullet has been taken out and the doctor attended to the wound," he said, gently massaging her frowning eyebrows.
