Lamia blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at the man sitting next to her bed. He had a handsome profile and a muscular chest, and he was the man she had been thinking about day and night. She clenched her fists, pressed her index fingers together, and lowered her head, lost in thought.
“I don’t blame you. But would you be willing to marry me?” Lamia asked. When they were drinking earlier, she had. already learned that Hendrey didn’t have a girlfriend or a wife..
“Marriage is a matter of mutual consent. This was just an accident. Miss Lamia, you don’t need to gamble your happiness away for this accident. I will never marry someone who doesn’t like me.”
“I like you! I really like you!” She sat up nervously, explaining loudly. Hendrey turned his head and looked at her with a gentle and refined expression. “There is a difference between liking and loving someone.” Lamia nodded. “I know. I don’t just like you. I think… It should be love. After you saved me back then, I have been remembering you all these years and missing you. Is that love?”
Hendrey frowned and pondered for a moment. His serious expression showed a hint of coldness. After a while, he nodded. “It should be.” “What about you? Do you like me?” she asked in return.
Hendrey’s thin lips curled into a warm smile, and he leaned over her, pressing her under him. and lightly kissing her lips. “If I didn’t like you, how could you easily sway me with your seduction? There are many women who like me.
“Then… Do y-you want to marry me?” Lamia felt like she must be going crazy. She had only met Hendrey once before, and now that she had seen him again, she wanted to marry him.
But her impulsive heart was telling her how much she liked him. “We can try to get to know each other. If it works out, of course I would be willing to marry you.”
“Really?” Excited, she reached out and hugged Hendrey’s neck, her bright eyes full of expectation. She, a novice in love, was easily captured by his masterful technique, especially since she already liked him.
“Silly girl, why are you so naive?” He poked her head with his finger. “Aren’t you afraid that I am a bad person who will deceive you?” His indulgent smile and tender affection were enough to make Lamia feel infinitely happy with just a single glance from him.
Shaking her head, she replied, ‘I don’t believe it. A person who risks his own life to jump into the river and save someone else won’t be such a bad person.”
“Is that so?”
“Mm-hmm.” “But now I can’t resist wanting to be naughty. What should we do?” he said, pulling off his towel and diving into the sheets. Before long, passionate moans came from the room.
Hendrey never expected that he would randomly meet Lamia while he was out drinking, let alone that she actually liked him. Perhaps it was fate. The heavens had given him a chance to take revenge on Crayson and Hayley! How could he miss this chance?
In the hospital, Matthew, who had already been transferred to another hospital, lay in bed resting. Lazlo walked in and said, “Boss, I have sent someone to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the children. You don’t need to worry too much.”
“Okay.” Matthew propped himself up with one hand and tried to sit up. Lazlo immediately went over to help him and placed a pillow behind his back. “You’re injured now, so you should rest more.”
“Have you done everything I asked you to do?” Matthew asked in a cold voice. “I’ve already released a message to the public saying that you’re in a coma,” Lazlo replied.
Following Matthew’s instructions, Lazlo had already released a message to the public in order to deceive everyone.
