Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 283

Chapter 283 Compensation

As if nothing had happened, Lyra washed her face and walked down the stairs, step by step, towards

the dining room. Looking at Hank sitting there with his back to her, Lyra felt as if her heart was being

pricked by needles. But she could not stop. She could not reveal any flaws.

“Hank!”

She smiled and quickened her pace to his side. Smelling the aroma of the food, she smiled sweetly.

“Today’s dinner is really sumptuous. Is there any good news?” Hank’s eyes darkened. “Lyra, I have to

go on a business trip for a few days. Sister Zhang may be the only one at home to take care of you.

You…” “Don’t worry, I will take good care of myself. I will eat well and wait for you to come back.” Her

tenderness and consideration were originally written on her face. They had just been married, how

could she bear to let her husband leave her? Hank’s face was cold and gloomy. He also wanted to take

care of her without leaving. “Then when are you leaving? I’ll help you pack your luggage.” Lyra lowered

her head and ate, pretending to ask unintentionally. “Keith will pick me up later.” Hank also picked up

his chopsticks. The two of them had different thoughts. Lyra nodded and lowered her head even more.

As if noticing her unhappiness, the man reached out and patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’ll be

back soon.” Lyra nodded, but still did not raise her head. An hour later, Hank left in the car. Lyra hid

behind the curtains on the second floor. Her gaze became colder and colder until his car disappeared

from her sight. She bit her lips and could not make a sound. Business trip? He must have gone to the

hospital to accompany Alma! Lyra took a deep breath and took out her phone. She restored all the

numbers that Hank had blocked. After hesitating for a long time, she dialed Su Yuan’s number. Lyra

was sitting on the toilet in the bathroom, turning on the tap to make this call. She

could not let Hank and Sister Zhang know that she had regained her memories.

If Hank dared to do this to her, she would let him know what it felt like to be in so much pain that one

wanted to die.

Soon, the phone was connected. “Ms. Jones! You finally appeared. Where have you been these past

few days? We were all worried to death. Without you, the company was in chaos. And Manager Zhao

hasn’t been here for a few days. We couldn’t even contact him.” Su Yuan was so anxious that she was This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

about to cry.

“Su Yuan.”

“You have to listen carefully to what I’m going to say next. You can’t tell anyone about me contacting

you. Even if I call you on this phone later, you can’t admit it. Do you understand?” Lyra instructed

calmly. “… I know, Ms. Jones.” “The only person I can trust now is you. Don’t let me down.” Lyra

arranged for Su Yuan to do a few more things. Then, she filled the bathtub with water and lay down.

She wanted to wash away all the marks on her body and clean them. Even if she lost her memory, how

could Hank have touched her? She found it dirty. The bathroom door was closed, and the sound of

water was very loud. Sister Zhang knocked on the door several times, but she did not hear Lyra

answer. “Madam, are you okay? Madam!” Sister Zhang paced back and forth, and when she was

taking out her phone to tell Hank, the door opened. Lyra was wearing a bathrobe with a facial mask on

her face. “What’s wrong? I was taking a bath.” Sister Zhang could vaguely hear the music in the room.

Her worried heart fell and she hurriedly said, “It’s nothing. I’ve prepared fruit and will send it up now.”

“Sorry for the trouble.” Lyra smiled and nodded. The door closed again, and the smile on her face

disappeared.

At the hospital. “Hank, you haven’t come to see me for a few days. Are you so busy? What is more

important than me and the child?” As soon as Alma saw him, she kept muttering. Hank sat by the bed,

but in his heart, he was worried about Lyra. He was worried that

she had not eaten well, worried that she might recover her memory at any time. “Hank, are you

listening to me?” Alma noticed that he was distracted and pulled him hard, but she did not expect that

her move was too violent, and she held her tummy and screamed in pain.

Hank immediately called for the doctors and nurses. After the examination, everything was normal.

“Miss Kensley is almost at the delivery period. It’s best to adjust your mood. Don’t be too excited.”

Although she said that, how could Alma not be excited?

The child was about to arrive, but Hank hadn’t agreed to marry her yet. Wendy was right. No matter

what, a woman had to get what belonged to her. Only then could she protect her child.

Alma leaned against the headboard. “Hank, it really hurts. My greatest wish right now is for this child to

be born safely.” She stroked her lower abdomen, her face slightly pale.

The man nodded and answered, “It will be safe.”

He did not want to owe Alma, so everything had been arranged perfectly.

However, what he said was not what Alma wanted.

Seeing that Alma’s acting was so bad, Wendy could not bear to watch anymore and could not help but

go forward and say, “Hank, in fact, Alma has been under a lot of pressure recently. There has been

some gossip outside saying that she is not worthy to be with you. She will cry whenever she hears

those words. This state is very harmful to the body.” After saying that, Wendy secretly looked at Hank’s

expression. Seeing that he did not respond, she tried to add, “Her father and I also hope that she can

have a good home. In a few days, there will be a good day. How about you go through the marriage

procedures first? As for the wedding, we will wait until the child is older. What do you think?”

Hank frowned.

“If you are busy with work, we will help you do it. You just need to sign it and take a photo. Just treat it

as letting Alma feel at ease,” Wendy said with a smile as she walked to the side of the bed and helped

Alma up. She secretly squeezed her hand under the quilt and pinched Alma. Alma immediately sobbed

a few times, as if she had been wronged. “Hank, no matter what, the child is about to be born soon.

You have to think for the child. It is your flesh and blood.”

Alma looked over carefully, waiting for his answer.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. “Mr. Barnwell, something happened to the company,”

Keith said as he pushed a corner away. “What’s the matter?” Hank said as he stood up and gave Alma

a meaningful look. “Let’s talk about it after the child is born.” After he finished speaking, he walked out

of the ward in a few steps. When Wendy heard the sound of the door closing, she was so angry that

she muttered, “We’ve already spoken to this point, but he still won’t agree?”

Alma bit the corner of her lips. “Hank must have already suspected that this child is not his.” She

sighed silently. Wendy glared at her. “I told you long ago to keep a distance from Terry. You have to

firmly grasp Hank. Now, you have a big belly. What should we do in the future?”
