Chapter 361

Upon hearing this, Chuck struck Harry's belly with his fist, and shouted, "Get out. You get in my nervesevery time I see you."

"You have been bothered by me for a very long time. During our college years, you always threatenedto skin me with your scalpel. But still, you didn't."

They playfully teased each other along the way to the test room.

After the test, Harry tidied up his clothes, then went out with Chuck.

"There are no abnormalities at the current test. The results of other tests will come out two hours later.You can leave for now. I will call you right away as soon as the results come out." Chuck browsedHarry's test results, and told Harry that everything was normal. Yet, Harry didn't buy it. He was still indisbelief.

Harry then returned to the company. Two hours later, his phone rang----just on time.

"I've told you that you are as strong as a fighting bull. Stop bothering me from now on." Chuck teased.

His words sent Harry to a gloomy state again. So. the problem was in Lola? "At that time, did she hurtsomewhere else except her legs?", wondered Harry. Harry remembered the day when Lola jumped offthe building. It set his heart sinking again.

Chuck also remained silent for quite some time. Back then, he did a systemic check-up carefully forfear of Lola getting hurt somewhere else.

"I know what you are thinking. She is all healthy. Maybe you need to step up your efforts."

Thinking of the woman he liked sleeping with another man, Chuck felt depressed deep inside him.

He tossed the results on the desk, then quickly went into the laboratory.

After hanging up Harry's call, he began busying himself in experiments. Together with all kinds ofsurgeries, he tried to get his head full instead of thinking Lola. If he would think of her all the time, hewould just get lonely.

Harry kept smoking while he pondered that it now boiled down to one reason----he didn't try hardenough.

Ascea

Lillian got off the hospital several days later. Lola was holding the baby and sitting beside her.

The sleeping baby in her arms reminded Lola of Nicole. She missed her so much. The minute they gothome, she would call Nicole.

"Lola, thank you so much for coming here personally. I didn't mean to bother you. I could just carry thebaby and go home with Joseph." Lola's presence made Lillian feel a bit guilty for troubling her.

Lola cast a soothing eye at her. "I am your sister-in-law. That's what I should do. No worries!" Hermother were too tied up and busy today. So she asked Lola to pick up Lillian.

Lillian was touched, and answered respectfully, "Thank you so much." Then they both burst out gigglesand laughter.

When they were back home, Lillian and Joseph took the baby to their room. Wendy still stayed atJanne's villa.

Before dinner time, Lola dialed the number of the mansion.

When the phone rang, Harry was moping and smoking in the parlor. Nicole was the one who rushed tothe phone.

"Hello?" Nicole answered the phone happily, hoping the call was from her mother. She was right.

Hearing her daughter's voice, Lola beamed in ecstasy. "Nicole, my baby!"

It was her mom indeed! Lola's voice sent Nicole to euphoria. "Mom, I miss you so much. When will youcome back?"

Nicole's question made Lola feel a bit guilty. She replied, "Nicole, mom will come back several dayslater, okay? Don't be sad now..."

"Okay. But you must hurry up because dad got injured so he can't play with me. I'm really bored rightnow." Nicole complained, and her mouth pouted.

Hearing his daughter spit out what he tried to hide, Harry was heartbroken.

Harry's injury made Lola very concerned. "What happened to your dad?" She stood up from her bed in

anxiety.

"Dad got hurt while protecting some people." Nicole saw Harry's signal but she didn't know what thatmeant.

Harry meant to stop Nicole from further talking about the injury.

"Protect whom? Where did he get injured? And when?" She paced around the room anxiously.

Unable to understand what Harry meant, Nicole continued, "Dad got hurt by a knife to protect a prettywoman. His wound seemed painful and deep."

Nicole's words made Harry choke on his last puff, not being able to breathe out or swallow in. He frozeand was helpless.

"Ahem..." Harry coughed intensely. For the first time, he found his daughter's ability to put her dad onthe spot.

Lola's anxious strides slowed down. A pretty woman? Was she Cherry?----She speculated about it.

With that in mind, her worry instantly turned to anger. "Put your dad on the phone. Now." She tried tosoothe her tone in front of Nicole. She didn't want to sound upset.

Nicole gave the phone to Harry and babbled, "Dad, mom wants you to answer the phone. Maybe she'sworried about your wound." After this, she asked curiously when she saw Harry's sulky look, "Did momreally miss you?"

Taking the phone in his hand, Harry controlled the sudden turmoil of his feelings. He whispered,"Honey, I can explain... Please don't conclude right away."

"You scum. You can explain what? Explain how many women you had? Explain how you were a two-timer? You are just a playboy. You have not changed. Don't contact me ever again." Bang. The phonewas hung up ruthlessly.

In dismay, Harry stared at Nicole who was still playing with her toy. He blamed her. "Nicole, you just putyour dad on the spot. You know that?"

Nicole shook her head in confusion, "Dad was in a tight spot? I didn't know..." She creatively moldedthe clay dough into a dolphin, then ran away pleasantly.

Harry looked at the gauze on his arm while he kept smoking.

After half an hour, he took out his phone, called over his private jet, then flew to Ascea.

Two hours later, the plane landed on the yard of Newman family's villa. Harry disembarked the jet withthe gauze still on his arm and rang the doorbell.

The one who opened the door was Joseph. He led Harry into the villa excitedly. Along the way, hetalked to Harry intimately.

Harry glanced at the second floor and asked, "Is your sister upstairs?" She was what he came for.

"Yes. But what's the matter with your arm?" Joseph just saw right now that Harry had a gauze on hisarm and some blood was oozing out.

Harry cast a quick eye to his arm, then replied, "It's nothing. Just a minor injury. I am here for yoursister. I need to talk to her" Without even waiting for Joseph's answer, he walked upstairs in largestrides.

Half way there, he remembered something, turned around and said, "Where is my niece? Bring herthere. I want to see her." Lola was his wife, so her niece was also his niece.

Joseph answered yes, then ran into his room and held his daughter. His face brimmed with joy as afather.

Harry would be jealous of Joseph if he didn't have Nicole.

Harry took Joseph's daughter into his arms. The cute little baby magnified his desire for another baby.

He regretted the fact that he missed Nicole's infancy stage. He wanted to know what it would feel tohold your own baby in your own arms.

Harry stuffed a check with a large amount of lucky number into the baby's pocket before giving herback to Joseph.

The big check made Joseph a bit embarrassed. After all, Harry has given him too much already.
