Chapter 379 - Merry Is Back

Sasha lowered her face and calmed her emotions. After a while, she reached out to grab Tom's sleeve in an attempt to cheer him up. "Sorry, I was being impulsive. Please don't be mad at me. I promise I won't do it again!"

Even though Tom knew Sasha's words could not be trusted, his heart was still shaken by her pleading gaze. Maybe Tom had fallen so deeply that he could no longer be saved. Those simple words calmed his anger in an instant.

Tom sighed softly as he closed his eyes. He repeated the words that he had repeated hundreds of times in his mind. This is a mere dream. A dream that can be broken and shattered at any time. Therefore, enjoy this beautiful dream while you can. Tom hopes that he will never wake up from his dream.

"Let's go. We need to try on the wedding dress. " Tom took Sasha out and left the restaurant.

None of them realized that everything that had just happened had been recorded by the maid's cellphone. The servant sighed in admiration. Lilia's husband is very handsome, worthy of being a supermodel husband like him!

After they exited the restaurant, Lilia and Jean got into a car parked nearby.

As soon as Lilia got into the passenger seat, she immediately leaned over and landed a light kiss on the man's cheek. Her eyes sparkled with joy when Lilia asked, "How did you know that I was here?"

Today, Lilia wasn't planning to have lunch with Harold. They just happened to go there, and happened to get into trouble with Sasha. How did that man know if all this was going to happen?

The corner of Jean's mouth lifted into a dry smile. He rubbed Lilia's head while answering, "I saw the news. How could I be willing to let my supermodel travel wearing dirty clothes!"

Lilia tilted her head suspiciously, "What news?"

"Everyone on social media is talking about it."

Hearing that, Lilia immediately took out her cellphone from her bag. She opened her social media and found that what happened to her at the restaurant had been posted online. This incident is not yet a hot topic, but its popularity is currently very high. Her fans are busy arguing in the comments column, and someone else leaks the identity of Sasha Hiroshi.

The contents of the post are as follows, "Miss Lilia Pangestu came to our restaurant for lunch! She was so beautiful and dignified, better than her appearance on television! However, there was a trash man who accidentally hit the female servant, making her drop food and dirtying Miss Lilia's clothes! "

Apart from the caption, there are also photos posted. Lilia doesn't know who took it. In that photo, Lilia is sitting on one side of the table. The place where his clothes were stained with salad was censored into a mosaic. Beside him stood Sasha who was arguing with him. There was a red arrow pointing at Sasha which was inscribed with the three words, 'don't know myself'.

Seeing this, Lilia smiled and shook her head. After reading the contents of the post and looking at the photos, he suspected that this post might have been sent by the maid Sasha ran over. No wonder Jean came immediately after this post went viral, because that man had been watching Lilia's movements the whole time.

When Lilia looked up from the screen of her cellphone, she realized that Jean didn't tell her where they were going. Lilia looked out the window, but she still couldn't guess where the man was taking her.

"Jean, where are we going?" He asked the man who was driving.

"The hospital. Merry's back." Jean replied briefly.

Merry's back? After hearing this news, Lilia became so excited about going to the hospital right away. But since he hadn't eaten at the restaurant earlier, Jean insisted on stopping by a nearby Chinese restaurant before going to the hospital.

On the way to the restaurant, Lilia finds out that Merry called Jean yesterday. The young woman cried and asked Jean to help her return to Indonesia. Merry just wanted to see Chris one more time. Lilia could tell that Merry didn't dare ask Hiroshi's family directly.

Currently, Lilia is sitting in a private room in that Chinese restaurant. Since she was going to be on the live broadcast tomorrow, Lilia didn't dare to eat too much. Finally Lilia only ordered salad and sweet porridge.

Lilia held a spoon in one hand and tucked the hair around her ear with one hand. After spooning out the porridge, he looked up and stole glances to the opposite side.

Jean's way of eating looks very elegant. His jacket hangs on the back of the chair behind him, while his sleeves are rolled up over his arms so they don't obstruct his movement.

Jean noticed Lilia's gaze. He brought a butter lettuce for his wife and asked her softly, "What's wrong?"

Lilia stirred her porridge bowl, then swallowed another spoonful, saying, "Jean, tell me the truth. Are Sasha and Tom really getting engaged?"

She always felt that the engagement would not actually happen. Perhaps that thought was influenced by his first impression of Sasha. This daughter of the Hiroshi family doesn't seem like someone who is easy to compromise. How could Sasha want to lower her standards for someone like Tom?

The man's expression did not change, but his voice was deep and magnetic as he replied, "That's right."

Lilia blinked her eyes in surprise. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Then, Tom ... should be very happy, right?" Lilia asked hesitantly. Jean's friend did look proud, but Lilia didn't feel the sincerity in it.

"It's just an engagement. Too soon to be happy!" As soon as Jean said these lines, Lilia realized something.

Seems like Jean and himself feel the same way. Can this engagement be held as scheduled? Or is Sasha up to something? Let's see what happens.

*****

Around one o'clock in the afternoon, Lilia and Jean arrive at the hospital. In the hospital parking lot, Lilia saw the car Clifford used to drive parked opposite them. As far as Lilia could remember, Clifford should still be waiting for her at Aphrodite Agency. It seemed like Jean had told his head bodyguard about this before going to pick up Lilia.

Lilia heard that Chris had been transferred from the ICU and was currently living in the intensive care unit. It's been almost half a month, but he hasn't passed out. Day by day, the feeling of anxiety enveloped Chris's room.

When Lilia got off the elevator to the intensive care unit, she had just set foot in the corridor when she saw a familiar figure. The figure paced back and forth in front of Chris's ward before noticing his presence and rushing towards him.

"Sis Lilia ...!" The voice came from Merry, Lilia's former assistant!

Merry still talks on the phone with Lilia often, so now she always feels closer to him than the rest of her family.

The young woman looked very excited when she saw Lilia. He dashed toward her, with both arms wide open. Merry's big eyes melted like stars, bright and clear.

His excited figure suddenly stopped as he stood half a meter in front of him. Merry's gaze was automatically fixed on Jean, who was standing protectively behind Lilia. She was still afraid of him, but her longing for Lilia won.. Merry ignored Jean and approached the woman, then hugged her tightly the next second.
