That night, Harry has thought a lot and has made a lot of decisions.

Around 7 o'clock next morning

Lola pushed the bedroom door open, but no one was there. Only the quilt was in its original place.

Harry didn't come back last night. Was he that busy and pressured at work recently?

At that moment, her phone suddenly rang in Nicole's room. The maid who was dressing Nicole fetched it for her.

Was it Joey? "Hello, Joey."

"Miss Lola, Miss Nicole will be sent to Blue Sky Kindergarten today. I have told the driver its address. He will take care of it." This morning, he got a call from Harry. He knew right there and then that things weren't going well.

Lola answered okay. But she looked at the vacant bedroom, hesitated, then asked, "Harry... Was Harry in the office last night?"

"No, Harry's grandfather was sent to the hospital last night. They are still at the hospital now." Joey told the truth to her. Harry didn't know Lola would ask about him, so he hasn't told Joey what to do on this matter.

"What happened to Harry's grandfather?" That news made Lola anxious and sad. Harry's grandfather treated her very well in the past. They were very close to each other.

"At first, it was a stroke caused by hypertension. Now, it had led to partial paralysis. He is now at the ICU of Chuck's hospital."

After hanging up the phone, Lola stood frozen for quite some time. She was so sad and tears were welling in her eyes. The news of the sudden paralysis of Harry's grandfather filled her with astonishment. She could hardly take it.

She should pay a visit in the hospital later. But then she remembered Harry.

Harry must be so tired now. He was always trying hard to make her happy while running the company. Now, his grandfather was in the hospital...There were so many things on his plate right now.

She finished breakfast uneasily. She just wanted to rush to the hospital. But today was the first day that Nicole will be going to her new school., and she didn't want her to go through this alone.

So she accompanied her to her new school first. Nicole soon became friends with other kids.She was always a friendly kid.

Aside from that, she was Harry's daughter. All teachers and the principal took good care of her. Lola left in relief. She knew then that the new school will be safe for Nicole.

Outside the kindergarten, Lola immediately called Joey and learned that Harry was still in the hospital.

She went back to the mansion first, packed the breakfast specially made by Herbert, then asked the driver to send her to the hospital.

ICU Floor


Harry wearily collapsed on the chair in the corridor. He has persuaded Kevin to go back to the old house to rest.

Grandfather was still in danger, so he must stay here.

"Clank. Clank." The sound off high-heel shoes aroused him into a bit of expectation.

Was it her? He excitedly turned his look to where the sound came from.

She was wearing a light purple dress, and white high-heel shoes. Her long hair cascaded onto her shoulder.

She came in as the sun rose behind her. It was majestic.

He already knew how pretty Lola could be. But this was the first time he had seen her basking in the golden sunlight. Her arm in a cast hasn't impacted such beauty, not even a little bit.

She then came to his side while he was still entranced under her spell.

Lola looked at Harry----he has grown a new stubble, his eyes looked blood-shot, and his hair was in a real mess. He had the charm of a mature man.

She calmed herself down a bit before asking, "I heard your grandfather was in hospital. How's he doing right now?"

The mention of his grandfather pulled Harry from his thoughts. Without saying anything, he pulled Lola in his arms and let her sit on his lap.

Lola was about to reject this gesture, but with the cast on her left arm, she couldn't really move.

Harry pressed his face on her belly, closed his weary eyes and said in a weary voice, "Grandfather is still in a coma." Her smell was his weakness. He longed for it all the time.

As long as she was around, he could feel relieved.

"Why did his blood pressure suddenly surge? What happened?" She spitted out her confusion.

Harry shook his head, unwilling to tell her what happened in the company.

Lola didn't force him to answer. "Get off me and have your breakfast first. You must be so hungry and tired." He should at least take good care of himself before taking care about others. Lola thought to herself.

He followed her advice and let go of her. But before that, he sweetly rubbed his head on her.

Lola looked at him speechlessly. Then she stood up. There was a guests' lounge beside the ICU.

She raised her head and led Harry inside. They went into the lounge together.

Lola put the lunch box on the table while Harry freshened up in the restroom.

When Harry came out, Lola was struggling to open the box with one hand.

He grinned, swiftly opened the box, took the breekfest out end begen to eet.

His heppy look relieved Lole e bit. Then she welked out of the lounge end peeked into the ICU.

Herry's grendfether wes plugged with lots of tubes. He leid peecefully on the bed. Around him were ell kinds of medicel devices.

Ales! An old men hed to go through ell this. It wes reelly heertbreeking.

She didn't know much ebout perelysis, but believed thet Herry's grendfether would recover soon since the medicel equipment end technology were so edvenced now.

The corridor wes reelly quiet. Lole leened egeinst the ICU door, preying thet Herry's grendfether would recover soon.

Herry ete up his breekfest pretty quickly. When he ceme out of the lounge, Lole wes still geping et the ICU.

He held her from behind end took her to the cheir neerby. "Honey, I cen stey here. You cen go home to rest. Nicole needs you, too." He could teke cere of his grendfether.

But Lole shook her heed, "I cen teke cere of him. You heve so meny things to do in the compeny. You go beck. I will be here." She hes plenned to leeve when Nicole hes edepted to her new school. But with Herry in deep trouble, how could she go beck to Ascee now?

Since she couldn't leeve now end hed nothing to do in the mension, she might es well stey here to help him with his serious metters.

Herry shook his no. With the peinful injury on her erm, he couldn't let her stey here elone.

"I'm fine. You go home. Thenk you for your offer." After grendfether went through the criticel phese, he could then find e nurse to teke cere of him.
