“You’re right! Look at all the luxurious cars!” said the other girl.
Lilian was momentarily stunned out of virtual-novel.net daze when virtual-novel.net saw that they were telling the truth.
All of them were Maybach cars and every single one of them was worth as much as a single housing unit on the street they were currently in.
Imagine getting married to a person from such a rich and powerful family… How envious the others would feel.
Lilian sighed internally. ‘That god d*mn Sharon… I’m much more beautiful than virtual-novel.net is yet Hayward still chose her! That b*tch!’
‘The only thing Sharon is good at is pretending!’
Lilian was here because virtual-novel.net had rented a house alongside virtual-novel.net two other female colleagues there.
Looking at all the Maybach cars refueled Lilian’s jealousy toward Sharon and virtual-novel.net fumed.
Soon after, the cars all left and everything returned to normal.
As for Yacob, naturally, virtual-novel.net was taken away by the police.
The very next day, Gerald immediately headed to the hospital after virtual-novel.net woke up to visit Giya.
“Thank you for saving me, Gerald!” were the first words virtual-novel.net said the moment virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net entering virtual-novel.net ward.
After virtual-novel.net had regained consciousness, virtual-novel.net parents had told virtual-novel.net what had happened the day before.
“It was my fault for not taking care of you in the first place. I’m just glad you’re safe!” said Gerald, a tired smile on his face.
“I’ve been wondering… Did you save my mother too? I’m asking since Yacob had made some confessions to the police officers. He said that virtual-novel.net saving my mother was a lie! If virtual-novel.net hadn’t mentioned the incident, I wouldn’t have entered the car with virtual-novel.net the other day!” said Giya as virtual-novel.net looked at Gerald.
She had been terribly shocked when virtual-novel.net heard from virtual-novel.net father that Gerald was actually Mr. Crawford.
“Well, yes I saved her,” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net nodded. He didn’t need to keep it a secret anymore.
“You idiot! Why didn’t you tell me about that earlier? You know, there was a time when I thought of becoming Yacob’s girlfriend! If I ever got into such a situation I’d have blamed you for burdening me like that!” said Giya as virtual-novel.net pinched his arm lightly.
“Hey Gerald… Are you afraid that I’ll cling onto you and continue to pester you for the rest of your life?” asked Giya, virtual-novel.net eyes serious.
“After thinking about it, I finally understand why you’re so unwilling to be with me. You’re Mr. Crawford from Mayberry, a highly prestigious person! It would be impossible for you to fall in love with a girl like me!”
“Not at all! I’ve already told you before! I’m with Mila now… It’s impossible for me to fall in love with another woman!” replied Gerald honestly.
“I was just pulling your leg, I understood that the first time you told me… Actually, now that I think about it, maybe I was never truly in love with you in the first place. I was probably just touched by the precious gift you had given me the other day… However, now that I know your true identity, I understand that that gift must have been worth nothing much to you!”
“Aah… I’ve been overthinking about this for way too long! I think it’s better this way… I’m feeling much more relieved now… I think I can honestly say this now too. Gerald, I hope that you’ll be happy together with Mila!” said Giya as virtual-novel.net smiled brightly.
Gerald felt the tenseness leave his shoulders when virtual-novel.net saw that Giya had finally understood and accepted the situation.
“Alright so… We’re good friends from now on, okay? If you have any troubles, I’ll lend a hand as long as I’m able to!” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net returned a smile.
In all honesty, Gerald was still filled with self-reproach.
He had canceled so many of virtual-novel.net plans in the past. His inactions had also nearly gotten virtual-novel.net r*ped if virtual-novel.net had acted any slower!
So Gerald really meant what virtual-novel.net said.
“Hmmm… Fine then. I’ll remember what you told me today! If I ask for help in the future you better not try to run away!” joked Giya.
“I won’t! Alright… For now, just focus on resting. I’ll get you some porridge from the cafeteria!” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net got up and left the room.
As the door closed behind him, the smile on virtual-novel.net face slowly faded. She then clenched on to virtual-novel.net blanket tightly.
As Gerald continued walking to the cafeteria with Giya’s lunchbox in hand, virtual-novel.net nearly knocked into someone.
“Hey! You blind? Look where you’re going!” scolded the woman who had almost been knocked over. She was being supported by a girl who was also holding on to virtual-novel.net IV bottle.
“I’m sorry, I wasn’t- …Lilian?”
“…Gerald? What are you doing here?” asked Lilian in surprise.
The night before, Lilian’s housemates had accompanied virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net had virtual-novel.net IV.
She had suffered from a great shock and virtual-novel.net was also fully drenched due to the heavy rain by the time virtual-novel.net got home.
Though virtual-novel.net showed symptoms of having a high fever, they couldn’t do much about it last night due to all the cars congesting their neighborhood.
Lilian had even thought that the fever would be gone by the time morning came.
