Chapter 257 You Should Be On Her Sides

But she had to pretend otherwise Hence, she called out to Nova in an affectation of worry. “Nova! Nova!”

She was going to get out of her sickbed as she crying but Henry pinned her down and said, “Just leave

her alone!”

Kelly, pale in her face, shook her head in an anxious manner. “Henry, I’m afraid that Nova can’t get over

it, the statement of grandpa must

be a terrible blow to her. I have to help her out of the funk she is in case sadness will drive her to attempt

suicide!”

Kelly’s last few words struck Henry!

Nova, having no relatives, was alone in the world. She was prone to do that…

But he banished the thought when Nova’s words of contempt crossed his mind “For a woman who would

jockey for she wants by

devious means, a woman as hypocritical and scheming as she is, committing suicide is beyond the

realms of possibility!”

Kelly was satisfied with Henry’s reaction, then she continued to play her role as a kind–hearted cousin.

Shaking her head violently, she

said, “Henry, don’t say that anymore, anyhow, she is my cousin, the only relative of my age, could stop

hurting her? Please, for my sake…”

Henry was deluded easily by Kelly’s performance. Looking at her seemingly sorrowful eyes, he

compromised. “Alright, but you have to lie down in a proper position first.”

Kelly was unwilling to go back to her sickbed but Henry urged again, “If you don’t do as I ask, I won’t let

her go lightly.”

“I’ll do it! Right away! Henry, promise me you won’t hurt her!”

Henry didn’t give a definite reply to her pleading. He just tucked her in and said apathetically, “I gotta go

now, I’ll come to see you

tomorrow.”

Kelly’s eyes were filled with reluctance when she heard that, but she had to let him go because she had

thought of what Nova had said just now. “I see. And Henry, if you are tied up with work, you don’t have to

fit me in. My leg is definitely on the mend now So I’ll be all right here.” Said Kelly with an approving nod.

Henry nodded back and left with strides.

He had quickened his pace out of the sick room. When he got to the elevator hall, one of the elevators

has descended to almost the floor of underground parking. Henry hastened to take the other elevator to

the underground parking.

Standing with a face like thunder, Henry reeked of anger and coldness, which seemed to sharply lower

the temperature in the confined

space.

As soon as Henry arrived at the parking floor, he glanced around to search for Nova.

Finding no trace of her, Henry accessed the underground parking.

He was walking like a bat out of hell while Nova was in her high–heeled shoes walking, so Henry caught

up with her within minutes.

Nova was about to get in the car, but Henry beat her to it by taking her arm.

Nova was frightened by the movement and she made a subconscious attempt to free herself, but only

saw Henry’s sullen face. Nova

seethed with rage in a flash. Knitting her eyebrows, she spat, “What are you doing?!”

Regardless of her reaction, Henry dragged her to the passenger seat of his car despite Nova keeping

resisting. Nova was not as strong and agile as Henry, that’s why Henry could duck every blow of her.

“What on earth are you going to do?!” Nova gave up the struggle with

resignation.

“It is Grandma who wants to see you!” Closing the door, Henry answered sourly.

The expression on Nova’s face changed slightly. She was surprised and puzzled by Henry’s words. Why

grandma suddenly wants to see

her again after she has discarded the thought of making them up? To top it all, why she sent Henry to

come to her?

“I’m not free today, I’ll call grandma to explain myself later“.

Saying this, Nova was about to get out of the car. Henry’s sneer choked her attempt. “Grandma has

been suffering from her weak heart all day, you should be on her side if you don’t want to have a guilty

conscience!”
