The car stopped abruptly as soon as it reached the gate. After ringing the bell for a long time but seeing no one, Lyle risked climbing the wall to get in, used a rock to break the glass door, and rushed straight upstairs.
The sight that met Lyle's eyes made even the normally calm man panic. The sedative pills were scattered all over the floor, and Rosalind was lying motionless on the bed. He cried out her name as he carried her downstairs and rushed to the city hospital.
The time spent waiting in front of the emergency room seemed endless. At this moment, he felt helpless and could only pray to God to let her get through the crisis and be safe.
When Rosalind finished cleaning her intestines and was transferred to the recovery room, Alisa had just arrived. Because Rosalind's condition had improved during this time, Alisa took the opportunity to return to her hometown to visit her mother, but on the way back, something happened.
“Mr. Lyle, how is she?” Alisa asked worriedly.
“She's out of danger but still unconscious.” He answered in a low voice.
“I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left her alone.” Alisa lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
“It happened unexpectedly so I can't blame you. I'll stay with her tonight. You just traveled a long way so go back and rest, come back tomorrow morning.”
Alisa walked to the bedside, gently held the pale, thin hand, and shed tears. She was really worried about Rosalind. She wouldn't be able to stay by Rosalind's side forever. She thought to herself that it would be great if Lyle could accompany Rosalind for the rest of her life.
All night long, Lyle did not sleep, just sat there staring at Rosalind. Every time something happened to her, his heart ached. This silent feeling had worn away at his heart for so many years.
In the afternoon, Dylan called him, saying that Laura had returned the Sancy diamond but did not mention anything about what he heard in the warehouse, which made Lyle even more worried.
The night seemed endless for both Lyle and Dylan. When it was just dawn, Dylan was on the eighth floor of Global Corporation.
The weak morning sunlight filtering through the glass door was not enough to dispel the quiet atmosphere in the young president's office.
After hearing the whole story that Wynn told, Dylan didn't ask any more questions. He didn't expect that his life of ups and downs was caused by that fragile girl.
“Cousin, what are you going to do? Lyle also has his troubles.” Wynn asked Dylan.
He felt guilty towards his half-brother, but it wasn't his fault, it was Lyle's carelessness that revealed the past to Dylan, he was just forced to explain everything clearly.
“Okay, go out, I want to be alone.” Dylan lowered his voice and said.
“Cousin…”
“Go.”
Wynn sighed, bowed, and quickly left the room. This morning, before seven o'clock, he was already at the company. Yesterday, he heard Dylan's unhappy tone, so he guessed that something bad was going to happen, and the final result was indeed like that.
He could only pray for his brother and that actress, but he didn't care about Daniel, he wasn't worried because Daniel's family's power was very big and Dylan was still a huge debtor of LE Bank after the acquisition of SN Group.
Wynn had just arrived at the elevator when he heard Mina's voice greeting Lyle from the stairs, so he quickly pressed himself against the wall and peeked down. He was surprised to see that they didn't use the elevator.
“You don't take the elevator?” Mina asked with a smile.
“Uh, I have something to do on the seventh floor, just one floor away so I'll walk, what about you?”
“I thought it would take a long time to wait for the elevator from the first floor, so I walked to speed things up.”
“I see. Ah, Mina, if you want, you can come to my house and Wynn's house often in the future.”
“Deputy general director, you... already know?” Mina bowed her head and mumbled.
“Yes, that boy always makes me worry but fortunately his target is you. During the time I'm not here, please take care of him. His stomach isn't very good, so he can't eat spicy food. I really admire this little brother for having such complete love from both sides.”
Mina was speechless and just nodded repeatedly. Lyle had been acting normal all this time, so she thought he didn't know. He had never said such cheesy words before, but now that he suddenly said them, she was extremely moved.
On the stairs, Wynn suddenly felt his nose sting. He felt so regretful. For so long, he had always been angry, sulky, and grumpy whenever he knew that Lyle was involved in matters related to Rosalind without understanding or sympathizing with him.
How many people can control their hearts? How could his brother bear all this, and still have to finish his work well and take care of him?
When he heard footsteps approaching, he quickly pressed the button and entered the elevator.
Lyle hesitated in front of the chairman's office for a long time before entering. Seeing Dylan sitting there rubbing his forehead, he didn't know how to start the conversation. Fortunately, Dylan spoke first.
“What do you want from me?”
“Dylan, I want to ask you a favor.”
“Are you afraid that I will do something to Rosalind?”
“Dylan, Rosalind was so blinded by her love for you that she didn't realize what she was doing was wrong. She's been living in fear for the past few years, and that's what caused the illness she's carrying. Yesterday, she took tranquilizers and committed suicide. If I hadn't arrived in time, she would have died.”
“Lyle, if it were you, would you forgive her?”
“I know it's hard. I just hope you'll agree to let me take her abroad and never appear in front of you again, okay?”
“I need some time to think. You can rest assured and go on a business trip. Before I give you an answer, I promise not to touch her.”
Lyle thanked Dylan and quickly walked back to his office. When he arrived, he lay down on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling. He had never felt as tired as he did now. He knew that if Dylan didn't want to, even if he grew wings, it would be difficult for him to bring Rosalind out of country T.
Thinking back and forth, the image of Nancy suddenly appeared in his mind like a savior. At this moment, perhaps only that girl could soothe Dylan and make him let go of his hatred.
However, he didn't know what to say or where to start when he got her contact number. While he was in a mess, Mina called, informing him that it was time for the meeting.
There was no other way, he had to put Rosalind's matter aside to focus on work. He intended to think about it when he got to country A and find the right words to talk to Nancy later. After all, Dylan had promised and he believed that his cousin could do what he said.
Gently pushing the door open to let the wind in, Dylan leaned against the wall and looked down at the line of cars.
He understood the story of the past. That girl was worried about his future and was forced by his mother to leave him, accepting a bad reputation for all those years without a word of explanation. Perhaps it was because she didn't want her mother's image to deteriorate in his eyes.
All night long, he was tossing and turning, thinking about the relationship between Nancy and Alex, but now he didn't care anymore. At least he knew that she had truly loved him, and that was enough.
Alex was gone, even if she and that man had a relationship, it didn't matter. He only knew that he missed her very much now, wanted to see her, and wanted to hear her talk.
Returning to his desk, he saw the company's year-end equipment purchase proposal, he smiled slightly and picked up the phone, called Daria, told her to contact Lucky Company, and made an appointment for Nancy to meet him at Global Group at exactly four o'clock in the afternoon to receive this order.
He hoped that after this afternoon, all misunderstandings would be cleared up, and she would return to him and accompany him for the rest of her life. Now, he no longer had the energy to hate anyone, he just wanted himself to be happy and so did others.
After putting on his vest, he quickly walked out of the office, got in his car, and drove straight to the city hospital.
