chapter-130
Iris and Dom slipped out of the hospital following Jin Liwei's arrangement after she was discharged. His two subordinates drove her and Dom in an unassuming car.
Noticing that another car was following them, she expressed her concern. What if a reporter recognized her and was now following?
Jin Liwei's subordinate assured her that the car following them were their colleagues. Meaning, they were Jin Liwei's people as well. He explained that their boss called for more men in order to ensure that she was well-protected and can leave safely under the noses of all the reporters and rumourmongers still snooping around the hospital's vicinity.
Iris closed her eyes, her hands tightening into fists. She took deep breaths, trying to control her frustration. Yes, she agreed to hire a bodyguard but that didn't mean that she gave Jin Liwei free rein to surround her with his men. She would have to discuss this with him later when he returned home from work.
"Grandma Yi Mei, please calm down!" Dom was trying to calm the housekeeper.
Yi Mei wasn't listening to him.
Jin Liwei just stood there silently, his expression cold. However, his usual indifference was absent. Although he was still cold, he looked more like someone who disassociated his mind while his body was taking a beating.
"Yi Mei, please stop," Iris said when she arrived. She stood in front of Jin Liwei facing the housekeeper. She already heard from Dom how Yi Mei blamed Jin Liwei for her fainting episode.
"Young Miss, this man is no good for you. I beg you to think more carefully. You're still young. There are many men in the world. You still have many years ahead of you to meet other nicer men. Why must you stay with this man when you just met him? Powerful men like him only play with young girls' hearts."
Iris hesitated and then turned her head to glance at Jin Liwei.
Jin Liwei saw her hesitation and his cold expression cracked. Panic bubbled inside him. "Baby…" He wanted to persuade her that he was the best man for her but couldn't find the right words. His hand reached out to her but dropped it. A sense of insecurity flowed like sticky goo all over him.
Iris looked at him and her heart leaped. Taking a deep breath, she turned again and looked at the raging housekeeper.
"Yi Mei, Jin Liwei is important to me," she said, her voice calm and sincere. "Please don't blame him. It's not his fault that I fainted. In fact, he took care of me."
Behind her, Jin Liwei's heart was racing inside his chest. He was important to his baby girl! Relief was quickly followed by joy. He wanted to envelop her in his arms and kiss her but stopped himself. This wasn't the right time. The atmosphere was still tense.
"But Young Miss…"
"Thank you for caring about me, Yi Mei. I'm very thankful. I also care about you. You and Dom are both important to me."
"Oh boss…" Dom's eyes watered. His arms were still wrapped around Yi Mei.
"But Jin Liwei is also important to me. All of you who care about me, you're all important people in my life. Yi Mei, I don't know if Jin Liwei will hurt me. But I also don't know if I'll hurt him. In life, how do we know if we'll hurt each other? I don't want to avoid something because I'm afraid of getting hurt."
