“Don’t you mind it?”
“I don’t mind it as long as you would like to,” Leilani curled her lips and answered.
She trusted Waylen, so she then added casually, “I will pay a visit to Charles Meyer tomorrow, so you can send Diana to visit Lucky by yourself.”
When Leilani mentioned Meyer, Waylen held her hands and kissed them, saying, “Darling, do you still remember our promise?”
“What’s the promise?” Leilani was asking while she was thinking about it.
Waylen became severe all of a sudden and gently bit Leilani, “You had promised me to marry me as soon as Meyer woke up.”
“It is… You have a good memory.”
“You forget it?” Waylen was furious. He feels insecure now.
He can’t wait to marry her.
“I remember,” Leilani smiled. In Leilani’s opinion, they had gone through so many things, so they had a stable relationship and didn’t need a marriage agreement.
But Leilani knew Waylen needed her love, so she said to him, “All right. You can buy rings and flowers. Moreover, you should kneel for asking me to marry you. As for me, I will think about it.”
Waylen then grabbed her into his arms and then pinched her chin, saying, “we need to have a kiss promise.”
Waylen kissed her.
When they were kissing, there was a cry from the distance, “Miss. Summer, oh my god. What’s wrong with you? Why is there blood?”
Hearing the voice, Waylen then opened his eyes and then told Leilani, “I need to go.”
Leilani nodded and stood up, “I want to go with you.”
She followed by Waylen and found Andrew was also walking with them. When they were close to the restroom, Diana got out of it. There were a few drops of blood on her white dress. She looked horrible.
Leilani then found Diana covered her left arm with another arm, “is her arm hurt? Why?”
Leilani was confused. Then she found a maid got out of the restroom saying to Diana, “Miss. Summer, you…”
Diana held a blade that was full of blood in her hands.
“Do you want to kill yourself?” Waylen frowned and blamed Diana.
“No,” Diana shook her head and then added, “At this moment, I want to have drugs, so I hurt myself to make me calm.”
“I found a doctor to bandage the wound.”
“Never mind,” Diana then uncovered her right arm, “I had used a band-aid. Waylen, it is just a small wound.”
Diana glanced at Leilani and said, “I’m sorry to make you worried.”
Leilani tried to make a smile at Diana. She was shocked and confused about why Diana hurt herself to make herself calm. At the same time, Andrew was also confused and said to Leilani cheerfully, “I had told you. She just pretended to be a poor girl. You should be careful. She will try everything to get Waylen.”
On the contrary, Leilani disdainfully looked at him.
After a while, they arrived in the City. It had been a long time since they came here. Unlike B Country, which was near the sea, the City’s sky was slightly red when it came to sunset. For Leilani, it was the most beautiful view that she had never seen before.
Many people gathered in the castle. Lucky also started to shout.
The driver of Andrew had already picked Andrew and Jessica up. As soon as Diana got off the airport, she came to see Waylen’s mother instead of Lucky because of the etiquette. Otherwise, Waylen’s mother would be angry.
On the contrary, Leilani didn’t care about it. She didn’t visit Waylen’s mother.
Leilani paid a visit to Lucky first. When Lucky saw her, Lucky shouted and walked to her slowly. Sarah Ethel told her Lucky was old now, so Lucky didn’t want to move. But as soon as Lucky sees her, Lucky must come to touch her legs with its body.
Since it was autumn, Lucky was easy to fall hair. Therefore, much hair was left on Leilani’s clothes.
In the next morning, Leilani found Diana had been sent back to her home, so she didn’t know when Diana pay a visit to Lucky, Waylen hadn’t been to his company for a long time, so he got there in the morning. At the same time, he had prepared breakfast and put it into the heat box for her.
In the morning, When Leilani heard that Meyer was going to have an operation on Monday, she became nervous.
As soon as she uncovered her quilt and prepared to get up, the phone on the bedside rang.
“Excuse me is Miss. Peters? This is the police. Do you still remember the thing when you were kidnapped?” the man asked politely.
“Kidnapping? Yeah, I remember.”
“One of the kidnappers had been arrested. But I’m sorry to tell you that the ransom had been used up by them. I suggest you ask for a refund. If it doesn’t work, you can file a separate civil action. As soon as it takes effect, you have justice.”
“I heard that the ransom had been given back,” Leilani recalled that Andrew told her she didn’t have to give the money back to him because the kidnapper had given the money back.
“Had been given back? As far as I know, they didn’t give the money back,” the man answered. And then he added, “the man who devised the thing is from B country. Since he doesn’t belong to our country, we need more time to catch him.”
“B country? How do you know? From one of the kidnappers?”
“That’s correct. The man is Miss. Arlington. She devised it.”
“Miss. Arlington? Is Rebecca Arlington?” Leilani asked. “It is her. I can’t believe it. How come? She always wants to kill me?” Leilani thought to herself.
“Yes, it is.”
Leilani couldn’t believe it still and answered immediately, “in my opinion, you don’t have to pay much attention to her. I think she was dead.”
Leilani heard that the fire hadn’t gone out for the whole night, and Rebecca was in the fire and looked terrible.
After the man hung up, Leilani still put the phone on her ears and sat on the bed without moving. After a while, she picked the phone and dialed.
The phone rang a few times and finally answered.
“Hello.”
Leilani knew it was Waylen and asked, “where is Mr. Clifford?”
“Mr. Clifford…” Jamie Winter hesitated and then answered, “Mr. Clifford has a body examination, so he can’t answer the phone. Miss. Peters, you can leave the message, and I will tell Mr. Clifford later.”
“Is he all right? Is his heart uncomfortable?” Leilani was worried and asked in a severe way.
Jamie answered yes and then said nothing.
Leilani remembered her questions and then asked, “I just got a phone from a policeman who told me something about the ransom. Do you know anything about it?”
Jamie hesitated for a moment, but Andrew didn’t finish the examination still, so he said directly, “Miss. Peters, although Mr. Clifford didn’t allow me to tell you, you have the right to know it.
When you were kidnapped, Mr. Clifford didn’t have enough money to save you, too, but he insisted on protecting you. So I think he won’t accept you to give the money back now.
Besides, Mr. Clifford never lied to you. Mr. Clifford and Meyer’s hearts are well- matched, so he guessed his heart is Meyer’s heart and decided to give it back to him.
“Ok. I know. Andrew is going to have an examination before the operation?”
“Correct.”
Leilani tried to hold her breath thinking to herself, “he wants to give his heart to Meyer. And then? Doesn’t he care about himself? If he gives his heart to Meyer, he must be dead.”
Leilani was desperate for the moment.
“He didn’t lie to me… He didn’t. But what about him?” Leilani asked herself.
Leilani once hoped Waylen could give the heart back to Meyer, but now she didn’t want to.
She tried to manage to deal with the problem. She kept thinking.
Leilani got up, hurriedly, and washed and changed her clothes. Finally, she asked the driver to send her to the hospital.
When Leilani arrived in the hospital, she happened to find Andrew, who just finished the examination. When he saw Leilani in the front of the door, he hesitated for a while and then asked, “why are you here?”
“Have you decided to give the heart back to Charles Meyer?” Leilani lost control herself and cried for Andrew.
Seeing her tears, Andrew felt sad and asked, “who told you?”
“I know it. Don’t lie to me. And about the ransom, you lied to me too. You had promised that you wouldn’t lie to me, but now…”
“Why are you crying? You look bad,” Andrew tried to find a paper towel from his pocket, but he didn’t notice, so he had to wipe her tears with his sleeves.
“I had promised you I wouldn’t lie to you later. But it would be the last time I lied to you. Felicity, sorry.”
Leilani shook her head. Full of tears in her face now.
Andrew was her best friend. He saved her. Although he was already ill, she didn’t want him to die because of Meyer.
Leilani was in a dilemma. She also wanted to save Meyer.
At the moment when Leilani raised her head, she found Andrew smiled.
Andrew was glad to find Leilani cared about him. It was the first time she had cried for him.
