Henry knitted his eyebrows heavily. He knew that he could not say any refusing words at a time like this.

Without waiting for Henry’s reply, Sian called the Old Mr. King.

“Sian, what are you calling for late at night?” Orville’s confusing voice came from the other end of the line

after

several beeps.

Orville and Mabel were kind to Sian since she married into the King family so Orville didn’t feel abrupt for

Sian’s call. Sian said curtly when the phone was connected. “Dad, What I should tell you is too complex

to talk

through it from beginning to end. So I’ll just put it in a nutshell. Could you make an announcement of

Henry

and Kelly’s engagement as soon as you can?”

“Now? Does Henry agree?” Orville was stupefied by Sian’s words.

“This is nothing he can decide! He has been doing things wrong! Marriage is not a game for him! Dad,

now I

am in the hospital for Kelly was badly injured for the reason of Henry! So he must marry Kelly for his life!”

Asked Orville with a startled look, “What happened?”

Sian sighed deeply, then urged Orville again. “Dad, just do it as I said. I’ll call you later after we have

done

here.”

“Which hospital you are at?” “The People’s Third Hospital.”

After they hung up, Orville declared Henry and Kelly’s engagement on the website of the King Family

Group

with an announcement.

As soon as the announcement was posted, it hogged the headline and took the internet by storm!

The love triangle between Nova and Henry and Henry and Kelly came to the attention of the public!

Henry had known the major announcement even though he didn’t check his phone.

Orville hurried to the hospital after he finished what Sian had asked. When he got there, Henry had been

with

Kelly in the VIP ward.

Orville got burned inside after Sian told him the whole story from soup to nuts. “This brat!”

Then he turned to Sabina and Baron with a solemn in his eyes, “I apologize for what Henry has done to

Kelly

and I promise you Kelly will be our King family’s daughter–in–law!”

Sabina and Baron were wild with joy inwardly. No matter what Henry’s attitude is, Sian and Orville now

peg

Kelly as their future daughter–in–law! They have announced it publicly! After all, there is something to be

gained from the announcement.

It’s a major advancement of their plan!

At that moment, Kelly had regained consciousness actually but she closed her eyes as she clapped her

eyes on

Henry, as if she didn’t want to see him anymore.

Henry stepped closer, seeing her tears trickling down her cheeks, he sat beside her sickbed wff

guilt. “Sorry.”

SOUP of

Kelly cocked her head to his side and said, “Henry, don’t blame yourself, I’m the one who went wrong.”

Her voice was void of emotions, giving Henry a sense of distance.

Henry widened his eyes but he said nothing at all.

Fretting about Henry’s reaction, she cursed Henry for his insensitivity. Could Henry just say “Marry me” to

her? Does she have to infer him step by step till he makes a proposal?

Kelly took a breath deeply, she could only resign herself to Henry’s insensitivity. “Today’s thing is of my

own

accord, it was me forcing my company on you. And the hooligans didn’t do anything bad to me, I’m fine

so you

don’t have to be worried. I won’t be your concern. I will be allowed to be discharged from the hospital

soon.

Your guilt is the last thing I want to see, please don’t be hard on yourself. And I know guilt is not love,

same as

pity, I don’t want love under the mask of guilt or pity for it will make me hope against hope that you will

fall in

love with me in earnest and be willing to marry me.”

Henry could detect the wistful and helpless tone in Kelly’s voice, as evidenced by the tears brimming in

her

eyes.
