Chapter 103 - 103: I Want Someone To Be There

They took him to psychologists many times, but there was no solution."

"The psychiatrist said he had to let go of Daisy before he could stop seeing her. But he won't set himself free. He won't fall in love with someone else. He can't let go of Daisy."

After telling Henry's story, Benjamin sobbed again, couldn't even say a word.

Sophia had never seen such a crying man.

When the waiter served the coffee, Benjamin was still crying, and the smile on the waiter's face got bigger.

In his opinion, if a girl was bullied to tears by a boy, then the boy must be a playboy. But if it was the boy who was crying... He was really glad to see that.

Sophia gave a general analysis of the story.

Daisy died for Henry, so he just couldn't let go of it. Later, he met Diana, a blind girl like Daisy. They met because of a misunderstanding. But gradually, they fell in love with each other.

Later, Diana's sight returned. For some reason, Henry stopped appearing. After that, his illusion of Daisy became clearer and completely occupied all his space, which led to the present situation.

It was so complicated. Sophia wondered if Diana would just freak out after knowing it.

But she still decided to tell Diana the truth and let her make a decision. Diana was still waiting for Henry. She had every right to know the truth.

After parting with Benjamin and returning home from the coffee shop, Sophia first called Melissa to ask about Henry.

Melissa was a little shocked, "Is my uncle so famous? Even you know about him."

"You're the one with the big mouth."

Later, Sophia called Diana and told her everything.

Diana was really shocked and said she had to think about it.

Sophia also knew that the truth was too bizarre for her to accept.

The next afternoon, Sophia got a call from Diana.

"I'm going to see him." Diana Garcia said, "I figured it out. First, I like him. Second, only I can save him! So, whether it's for him or for me, I'm going to see him."

Sophia really admired Diana's decisiveness.

"Can you stay with me?" Diana asked, "I want someone to be there."

Sophia agreed without much thought. She was uneasy about letting her go alone.

"By the way, let's go with Mitch." Said Diana.

Sophia also thought of it. Mitch was an important witness of Diana and Henry, and only he saw everything about them, although he couldn't speak.

Benjamin gave Henry's address to Sophia, and she messaged it to Diana. They agreed to meet downstairs at Henry's house and go upstairs to see him together.

Henry lived not far from Sophia. Sophia walked there with Mitch.

Halfway there, Sophia's phone rang. She took out the phone and saw it was Pearson.

"Are you available today? How about singing together?" asked Pearson.

"I'm afraid not." Sophia said, "I have to meet someone with a friend."

"Who? Man or woman?" Pearson asked, "Do you know him or her?"

"A man… Don't know him well." Sophia answered truthfully.

Albert's voice rose in an instant, "What did I tell you last time? Don't go to a stranger's house! Don't you remember that?"

"I went with a friend." Said Sophia.

"Man or woman?" asked Albert.

"Woman," answered Sophia.

"That's even less safe." Said, Albert.

***

Sophia had heard from Melissa that Henry was a gentle, kind-hearted person. He lived alone, and there was no one else in the house. Sophia believed in Melissa that Henry was not a dangerous person. Although he was mentally ill, he was not dangerous.

She tried to explain, but Albert didn't believe that. "Well. Send me the address. I'll go with you." He said.

Sophia hung up and sent the address to him.

For Albert's concern, she felt quite warm in her heart. It was like… her mother.

Henry lived in an old neighborhood, similar to Sophia's. Sophia heard from Melissa that Henry's family had bought him a mansion, but he insisted on living here instead of there.

Because… Daisy had been here.

When Sophia arrived there with Mitch, she saw Albert waiting in front of the gate. Seeing Sophia, he frowned slightly and came over on his long legs.

"You are too credulous! Do you often go to a stranger's house? It's getting dark, and it's dangerous!" Albert lectured her.

Sophia didn't know what to say.

She only went to the house of an unfamiliar man twice, and Albert ran into that.

It wasn't long before Diana arrived. She came by taxi. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Sophia and trotted over.

"Thank you, Sophia." Diana said and looked back at Albert and smiled, "He must be your..."

Sophia thought her missing word was "friend" and nodded, "Yeah. This is Mr. Pearson."

"Hi, Mr. Pearson." Said Diana.

If Albert didn't misunderstand, Diana must mean "boyfriend", did she?

He didn't like girls younger than him. He was simply worried that her, a little girl, would be in danger.

Since Diana didn't say the word out, he could not explain and had to hold it. "Hi, Miss Garcia." He said hello to Diana.

The three entered the community together. The security of the old community was quite lax, no one stopped them, and there was no access control of the building, so they could enter directly.

Henry lived on the third floor. They went upstairs together. Soon they came to the door of the house.

However, Diana hesitated at this time. She reached on the doorbell but did not ring it.

Albert was obviously impatient. He gently waved Diana's arm away and rang the doorbell.

Soon, there was a nice male voice inside, "Who's that?"

Hearing the voice, Diana trembled and subconsciously took a step back.

Sophia saw her reaction and knew that the one she was missing was definitely Henry.

Sophia cleared her throat and said, "Excuse me. I'm... a friend of Melissa."

"Melissa?" Slightly puzzled, Henry reached out and twisted the lock to open the door.

Then his eyes were immediately drawn to Diana, and he was stunned.

Diana also looked at him, infatuated, standing outside the door, motionless.
