A Lifetime With You Chapter 159
Chapter 159
Even when she had already gotten a dismissal letter from the HR department, they were still forcing Ava to apologize. Of course, she wasn’t willing to! Then, Mr. Hemsworth waved his hand and made a generous gesture, “Hey, forget it, I don’t want to complicate things with a lady.” “Since you don’t want to argue with her, Mr. Hemsworth, then I shall do it my way.” Outside of the ward, a familiar voice came through.

Ava turned around and she was surprised to see Damien’s face!
“Why are you here?” Damien walked into the ward silently and gave her a light squeeze on the shoulder. Then, he glanced at Mr. Hemsworth and said, “I heard that you’ve been injured and that you were sent to the hospital. So, I came to visit.” Mr. Hemsworth smiled and said, “Ah… It’s just a minor injury. You really flatter me by coming all the way here.” “Oh really? A small injury? Then it seems that you are all right. Since everything is fine, then why are all of you here with gifts and flowers?” Damien glanced at the executives of the Radbury Group coldly. The managers gave each other sheepish looks. None of them knew why Damien was here. “Mr. Radbury, it’s just a minor mistake done by your staff. Let’s not make this a big deal. Once my injuries are healed, our contract…” Before Mr. Hemsworth could finish speaking, Damien said coldly, “You don’t have to worry about the contract anymore.” “Mr. Radbury, what do you mean by that?” “The Radbury Group’s contract with you has ended.” As soon as he finished his words, a group of police officers entered the ward and surrounded Mr. Hemsworth
“Mr. Hemsworth, you have been reported for sexual harassment and assault of multiple women. Please come with us.” The police officers did things quickly and efficiently. They didn’t give him a chance to protest and resist at all. Ultimately, Mr.Hemsworth was handcuffed and dragged off the bed. Everything happened very suddenly. Although Mr. Hemsworth claimed that he was wronged, his shouts would only be to the empty jail walls. After he was dragged away, Damien’s gaze swept over the company managers one by one. To be honest, they didn’t know that it was Mr. Hemsworth’s fault this time. In
fact, they didn’t want to mess up the million-dollar project and were willing to sacrifice two common staff. That was why they didn’t really do anything about it. But now, the CEO was tearing the contract into pieces in front of them and he even sent Mr.
Hemsworth to the police station! “Next time, be more thorough in your tasks.” Damien pointed at them individually and spoke before he told them to leave.
Then Ava breathed a sigh of relief. Nevertheless, Damien then walked out without even sparing her a glance.
She quickly followed behind him.
“Damien! Hey, wait for me!” She ran slightly, but Damien was too quick and she couldn’t catch up to him. She followed him all the way to the parking lot. When he opened the car door and was about to enter, she quickly ran over and blocked the door. “Why are you following me? Didn’t you ask me to pretend that I didn’t know you at work?”
“But this is a hospital, not the company! Besides, I’ve been dismissed!”
“Excuses.”
He then opened the door and got in. Ava quickly went to the other side and sat in the front passenger seat. “Damien, for today… ” She wanted to say thank you, but when she got in the car she found that his face was icy cold.
It seemed that he was still very angry with her. In fact, they had been giving each other the cold shoulder for days and he had been unhappy ever since. Furthermore, Ava never took the initiative to say a word to him. Ava silently buckled up her seat belt and did not dare to speak again. After a moment of silence, Damien finally couldn’t help but say coldly, “Ava, how dumb are you?”
“Huh?” “Why didn’t you come to me after such an incident? Do you think that I can’t handle this for you as CEO of the company?” “I’m just your employee. What right do I have to ask for your help?” “Ava, you wanted this. You’re the one who told me to never reveal or expose our relationship at
work.”
Ava lowered her gaze.
Indeed, it was true that she requested this herself, so no matter what happened, she reaped what she had sown.
She hated herself for being so melodramatic and for being unable to do anything at all. However, she really didn’t understand why Damien was angry at her. “I’m very grateful that you came to help me today. In fact, I didn’t expect you to come at all. They said that this project is of great importance and we can’t mess things up…”. “If I don’t come, what were you going to do then?” Damien asked coldly.
He sighed softly and turned to look at her. “Ava, I am the CEO of the Radbury Group. This is my turf. If I can’t even protect you, I’d better sell the company to raise cows and pigs in the countryside!” “Honestly, you’re the pig.” He was frustrated, and he reluctantly knocked her forehead. Alas, he couldn’t bring himself to knock her too hard though, but he wanted to bite her cheeks so badly!
Ava couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Then tears rolled down her cheeks. Damien was taken aback and felt somewhat helpless.
“Why are you suddenly crying?” When she thought of being almost touched by Mr. Hemsworth, she felt aggrieved but she didn’t want to show weakness in front of Damien. Then, she quickly wiped her tears away. “How were you just in time? How did you know I was there…” “The girl in your office told me that you were bullied.”
“Luella?”
Damien nodded.
She suddenly understood and realized that Luella seemed to have been bought by Damien! How cunning!
Damien drove her home and as soon as she entered the house, Ava heard Jean’s cheerful voice. “Mommy!”
Jean ran to her with his stubby legs and threw himself into her arms.
Then, she embraced her son tightly in surprise.
“How did you get back?”
“It was daddy who brought me back! Mommy, I miss you so much!” Jean’s eyes were red and it was obvious that he had just cried.
Then, Ava’s eyes became wet with tears.
She hadn’t seen Jean for a long time. Since Karen took him away that day, she had gone to the residence many times but she never managed to see him.
As for Damien, he did not bring this issue up ever since their cold war started.
She thought that he didn’t even care where his son was taken to.
Furthermore, she even thought that he was the one who had instructed Jean to be taken to his mother’s place.
“Damien, what happened?” Without saying a word, he proudly walked through the door with arrogant air about him. Jean then explained to her, “Daddy went to Grandma’s house several times, but
Grandma didn’t want me to see you! This morning, dad brought more than 20 men and broke into grandma’s house to bring me home!”
