Sir Please Mellow Down A Bit Chapter 456

Chapter 456 Gentle Refusal

He leaned over and looked at her with deep affection. Lyra pursed her lips and said after a long time, “I

don’t need anything.” She had been unconscious for a day and a night, and she had not drunk any

water when she woke up. Her voice was hoarse at this time. It added a bit of weakness to her pale

face. The man’s eyebrows condensed into ice, and his words of comfort were stuck in his throat.

However, he could not make up for the pain she had suffered. “I know very well in my heart that this is

good. I don’t have to lie to you. You and I are even. I won’t hinder you from being with anyone.” As she

spoke, her tears fell down her cheeks, looking so sad and helpless. Her tears seemed to shatter his

heart. “You need to rest now. I will ask Sister Zhang to bring the soup over immediately. You should

stay here.” After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry. When the ward quieted down again, Lyra

leaned back against the pillow. She recalled the look of Huaien’s secretary. She took out her phone and

sent a message to Officer Priestley.

Soon, she received a reply from the other side. “I will help you check it out, but it will take a few days.”

Lyra heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you.” The police had already suspended their investigation of the

case. Only if Officer Priestley was willing to help in private could it continue. For the next two days, Lyra

did nothing and just stayed in the hospital to eat and drink. The doctors and nurses would come to

check on her regularly. However, she was determined not to do anything related to the prenatal

examination. Everyone thought that she just couldn’t get over that hurdle. Whenever she thought of the

child, she would feel uncomfortable and so they wouldn’t force her. Only Sally would occasionally show

a troubled expression. However, Lyra would secretly send a message to Sally whenever she had time

to tell her how happy she was every day. Gradually, Sally no longer felt so guilty.

“Your brother went to talk business with Dingyi again?” Lyra muttered as she ate the strawberries in her

mouth.

There were only the two of them in the ward now, so there was no need to worry too much about

talking. Sally propped up her chin with her hand. “Yeah, I really don’t know what he’s thinking. He

clearly resisted working with them before, and he was originally going to work with the Barnwell group.”

Lyra narrowed her eyes. Sure enough, her guess was correct. Hank had the intention to cooperate with

the Lijin family, but the Lijin family was in contact with Dingui. It could only be said that Hank wanted to

use some people’s greed to play a game of chess. Otherwise, Charles would not have come all the

way here.

However, it just so happened that the people from the Lijin family who came were

Charles and his sister.

It was difficult for Lyra not to associate this matter with Hank.

“Lyra, can I ask you something?” Sally changed the subject when she saw that her

expression was not quite right. “Why did you divorce Hank?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lyra’s thoughts were disrupted. “Why are you curious about this?”

Lyra did not answer directly. Her hand touched the rim of the glass cup and her smile deepened. “Why

don’t we play a game? Everyone can ask each other a question. Whoever can’t answer will have to

accept punishment.” She smiled gently, but the light in her eyes was so bright. Sally liked this kind of

interesting thing the most and immediately agreed with a smile. “Come on, I won’t lose to you.” “Then

answer first, why did you get a divorce?” she said eagerly, raising her chin. “Because we are each

other’s enemies.” Lyra lowered her eyes, and her voice was very soft and heartbreaking. Sally looked Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

at her doubtfully. “But…” “It’s my turn to ask. What is the project that the Lijin family and Dingyi are

cooperating on?”

Sally did not hide anything. “Mine, gold mine.”

Twenty minutes later, Charles drove over to pick up Sally. When he arrived at the hospital entrance, he

saw Sally sitting unhappily on the steps,

her face downcast.

“What are you doing here?”

Sally looked up.

“Brother, why are you interested in that kind of woman? You are not as smart as she is. Don’t force

yourself. It’s useless.”

Before Charles could react, Sally had already told him about the game she had just played with Lyra.

She did not ask anything, but Lyra had got all the confidential information from her. “I ran out because I

was afraid of being tricked.” The more Sally thought about it, the more unwilling she felt. “Why did I say

it all just now?”

Charles looked at her in amusement.

“It doesn’t matter. The matter is almost done. We will be leaving tonight.” “We will meet her next time.”

Charles looked up at the ward upstairs. The brother and sister took the car and left. Lyra stood by the

window and watched the flashy sports car disappear from her sight. She then dialed Nore’s number. “I

want to buy a media company.” The Jones Group’s business continued. Although Lyra had not been to

the company, she had been following up on the project. When she learned that she had suddenly

bought over a media company, Su Yuan was very confused over the phone. “Ms. Jones, don’t tell me

you want to change your career?” “No, it’s just for temporary use. After a while, it will be transferred

out.” Lyra simply dealt with work matters and then began to search for news related to the Lijin family.

For a few hours, she was completely focused on the screen. It was not until Hank pushed open the

door of the ward that she lifted her eyes to look over and then turned off the laptop. “They left?” Lyra

had received a message from Sally earlier. She was certain that they had already boarded the plane

back to their country. Hank held the soup that Sister Zhang had prepared in his hand. His gaze was

gentle and deep, and he moved the corners of his lips slightly. “En, I had Keith see them off.” Lyra did

not resist the soup bowl that he handed over. The fragrance was indeed very strong. Just by smelling it,

one could tell that Sister Zhang had carefully prepared it.

“Please help me thank Sister Zhang. She doesn’t have to cook for me in the future. I will be discharged

tomorrow.” Lyra lowered her head and drank. She didn’t say anything else. She could feel his gaze

falling on her head. After a long time, he finally agreed. “Recently, the few projects of the Jones Group

have been progressing very smoothly. If you need any help, tell Keith at any time.” After thinking about

it, this was the only thing that could make her not reject his approach. As long as Lyra still cared about

the Jones Group, he would… “No need.” Lyra twitched the corner of her lips, not caring at all, “If there

is a need, I will ask Xuanze.”

It was clear that she was deliberately trying to anger him. The man frowned. “Why don’t you ask me?”

Lyra tilted her head, looking confused. “After all, the Barnwell group is the head of the industry.

Compared to the Barnwell group, the Jones Group is nothing. Your experience will not be useful for a

small group.” At this point, Lyra also directly mentioned, “The Jones Group can not mediate between

the Dingyi Group and the Lijin family at the same time. We are not like Mr. Barnwell, who can scheme

to the point of not leaking a single drop of water.”
