Chris hugged rry's small body tightly, and rested his head on her shoulder.
The young woman was worried about his injury. Her body could not keep up with Chris' height, so she stood on tiptoe and helped him lean his head more comfortably on her shoulder.
"Brother Chris? Brother Chris, are you okay?" rry asked worriedly.
The man's forehead rested on her thin shoulder. He let out a trembling sigh, then raised his hand to touch his heart.
Chris then said weakly, "I'm okay… cough… cough… I… cough… fine, don't worry."
Lilia, llisa, and Clifford all looked coldly at Chris. Too bad he's not an actor! His acting was really convincing! How could rry's childish mind understand the twists and turns in Chris' heart.
But the man realized that he'd spent his ti arguing with her, spewing painful words to her and getting hurt in return. The fact that he kicked rry out of here remained irreversible. The young woman stood on tiptoe, her thin arms supporting Chris firmly as she blinked her hot eyes.
When rry spoke again, her voice was soft and low, "Brother Chris, I will obey your word."
Chris' heart was very uncomfortable at the resignation in rry's voice. He clenched his palms tightly and closed his eyes to suppress the emotions surging in his heart.
Chris continued to take deep breaths until his anger was under control, then he pulled rry into his arms. He stroked the young woman's tiny back and coaxed in a deep voice, "Study hard and wait for ."
He didn't know anything else to say. He couldn't promise when he could visit rry again in Arica. But Chris thought that once the problems within the Hartanto Family were resolved, he would definitely go overseas to see rry as soon as possible. He wanted to accompany rry and engrave his presence in the young woman's mory so that she would never forget him.
rry nodded in his arms and shed tears. She let go of her embrace gently, then took a step back. rry stretched out her hand and carefully placed it over Chris' heart.
"Brother Chris, you have to get well quickly and don't get hurt again, okay?" rry advised.
"Yes, I won't let it happen again," Chris replied, raising his hand and stroking rry's hair. The gentleman's soft and handso face seed to make rry stare at him in awe.
"I'll go first, then... I won't bother you any longer," rry said, holding back her tears so that they wouldn't spill.
She looked at Chris closely before turning around and starting to pack her things. She packed them into her small suitcase without saying a word. rry only took a few pieces of clothing, and after simple packing, she could finally leave.
In rry's little world, she suddenly hated separation. Obviously this wasn't a major life or death event, but she felt the separation from Chris hurt her a little. She didn't know why, or at least? understand the reason why this separation was so painful at the mont.
When rry was about to leave the ward, she glanced in through the gap in the door before she closed it. In her view, Chris was standing at the window with his back to her. His hand rested on the edge of the window while his head slightly bowed. His back was still so wide, blocking her attempts to find out whatever expression the man wore at that ti. rry waited a few seconds, but Chris didn't turn his head at her.
After complaining several tis and feeling more reluctance, she let out a heavy sigh and pulled out her trunk. She followed Lilia and llisa, then left the world she knew so far one step at a ti.
The separation stirred her emotions so strong that it left her in a daze. Even when rry got into Lilia's car and was introduced to llisa, her mind was still not fully focused. She just greeted llisa without really paying attention to the woman's face.
The only thing rry could see right now was Chris' back when she left his ward earlier.
Even when rry was in the middle of studying, she would always sit in a daze in front of the window, regardless of Chris' presence. Her mind automatically recalled the scene, as if it had been etched into her mory. How could rry even try to forget him?
Upon arrival at the airport, rry stepped towards the international flight terminal. She pulled her small suitcase and walked away without looking back.
In the busy waiting room, Lilia stood staring at rry's thin and lonely back disappearing among the crowd. She then sighed with a sad look. Lilia could only hope that everything would go well and rry could return to Indonesia as soon as possible!
rry left with sorrow, leaving two hearts shattered to pieces.
Clifford stood behind Lilia as he watched rry leave. There was a wave of conflict in his dark eyes. Everyone had their own thoughts. At the noisy airport, Clifford could feel his heart giving him irrational thoughts.
Not long after, llisa's cell phone rang. When that happened, rry's figure had disappeared from the waiting room. llisa took out her cell phone and saw Leonard's na appear on her screen. She grabbed Lilia's wrist, making her little sister turn her head towards her. Only then did llisa pick up the phone from Leonard.
After listening to Leonard speak for a while, llisa raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Why are you at the airport?"
llisa and Leonard talked again for a while until she finally hung up the call angrily.
Lilia looked at her sister and smiled faintly. "What's the matter? What did Brother Leo tell you?"
"He ca to pick us at the airport," llisa shrugged her shoulders with an indifferent expression, but she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes. "Leonard said that the situation in the Irwan family is a bit complicated, and he should explain it directly to us to make it clearer,"
When llisa said that, she always felt that sothing was wrong. Regardless of how complicated the situation with the Irwan family was, it shouldn't have been more than a matter of her parents' favoritism towards Leila. How complicated was it that the man needed to explain that in person? She could faintly feel that this was just Leonard's sheer excuse to pick her up.
Lilia nodded nonchalantly. "Let's go then. Don't make him wait too long." While speaking, Lilia put on her sunglasses.
"Mrs. Lilia."
Clifford's voice from behind her made Lilia turn her head. "Yeah?" She answered.
The head of the Widjaya Family's security team spoke for the first ti since they arrived at the airport. "Since Mr. Leonard is here to pick you, may I return to the security team to handle sothing?" Clifford asked for her permission.
Lilia had absolutely no suspicion of Clifford's reason. She nodded and replied, "No problem, do what you need to do."
As Clifford turned and left, Lilia and llisa also left the airport's lobby. Clifford stopped in the corner of the waiting room and waited a mont before glancing over his shoulder. He confird that the figures of the two won had disappeared at the exit, then he continued to resu his steps.
He returned to the entrance to the waiting room again and stood outside the safety line. His dark eyes stared in the direction rry left.
Even though her figure had disappeared from view, Clifford could still see rry's back walking away.. The sight was deeply engraved in his mind.
