Chapter 328
Harry smiled wryly again. So this was the feeling to be rejected coldly and heartlessly. It really hurt so bad.
"You don't have to promise anything. I'm just telling you that I will pursue you again."

Could it be handled this way? Lola looked at him speechlessly. He was so hard to deal with. He was so unpredictable and she didn't know if he truly loved her...
She thought for a moment and felt that it was necessary to make her words even more clear. "Harry, the ex-Lola has already died the moment when I committed suicide for you! This time, I died more thoroughly than I did five years ago when I jumped into the sea! Although I am still using this body, the heart that loved you does not exist anymore. And I don't want to be with you ever! You can't change that, Harry."
With these words, her eyes turned red. When she thought about it again, she felt she was like a fool who should not have done such a ridiculous act for a man like him!
Harry held her hands tightly. He looked up to her. Lola was already getting emotional, so he reassured her in a soft voice, "From now on, let me spend the rest of my life making up for every hurt I have caused you!"
Lola waved his hands away. "Don't talk to me like you meant everything you just said! How many times have you told me that you would love me for all your life? Have you ever kept your promise for even once?" She burst into tears and took a step back. She had never completely known this man lying on
the bed. Harry, in her memory, was the one who had always held her to his chest, saying sweet words to her;
not the one who didn't trust her and hurt her again and again.
However, that was who Harry actually was. That was his personality. So she decided to give up, no matter what Harry would do.
She could not afford to be loved and then be hurt again...
Seeing her like this, Harry was full of guilt and regrets. It was all because of his stupidity that the cheerful and affectionate Lola was gone now.
However, he would not give up. He had to find the original version of Lola back.
He would love her, spoil her and trust her from now on.
"I'll call Joey. You can go back first. Thank you." He was willing to compromise now. He knew this would have positive ripples on the future.
Without any hesitation, Lola left and slammed the door behind her.
She rushed in to the elevator with her face full of tears. This man was so evil. Why did he remind her of all the traumatic, hard times before.
Joey was holding porridge when he saw Lola rushing out of the elevator in tears.
Looking if Harry was following her, he wondered what happened to them. Something bad must have happened again. Did boss hurt her again? It was an endless, brutal cycle.
Harry was about to call Joey into the ward when the door suddenly burst open. His loyal assistant came in.
"Boss, what have you done to Miss Newman again?" Joey couldn't help asking him. He was very worried.
Harry frowned, "Why? What's wrong?" She just rushed out hysterically. Did she want to hurt herself again? They must do something to stop this.
After he thought of this, Harry's anxious heart skipped a beat.
"She rushed out of the hospital in tears. Harry, can't you just comfort her since you have hurt her that much?" Joey opened the meal box, took out the porridge and handed it over to him. This was a rare time that they talked about something personal.
Harry didn't take the cue. "She won't hurt herself, will she?" He was more worried about this pressing problem right now.
Joey rolled his eyes upward and told him the truth, "Mr. Lewis, you may be charming enough for other women. But as far as I know, Lola won't do anything extreme for you from now on. She's way past that stage." From that time when she jumped off a building, Joey knew that Lola was now determined to stay away from Harry.
Harry silently took the porridge and drank slowly, as if he was thinking of something really deep.
"Go back to the company first. You and my father have to focus more on it. If anything important happens, send it to me. I'll be in Ascea for the next few days." Being separated from her wouldn't work.
He had to compromise and be the one who would adjust.
When she got out of the hospital, Lola didn't know where to go. She thought of Zoe once again.
If Zoe was still alive, she could call him to race cars or drink in the bar.
Even if she was dead drunk, Zoe would send her home safely. He would never try to harass or violate her.
…
She took a taxi and decided to go to the cemetery.
Arriving at the cemetery, Lola slowly walked to Zoe's tomb.
Lola couldn't help but cry on seeing his tombstone, his picture and his sweet smile.
Why Zoe couldn't be with her forever? Even not as a lover, a friend or a family member would be more than enough. He was the only one who really understood her.
"Zoe, why were you so silly. Why did you die for me? You were just as silly as me." She squatted at his tombstone and mumbled to herself.
"You loved me that much, but I could only see Harry back then. I loved him so much, but he didn't give me the love that I deserved."
"We were both so stupid. Why should I take away my life for him? Why didn't I think about my poor Nicole?"
"I will never forgive him again. Zoe. He didn't believe in me five years ago, and so does he now. Without him, I could live a better life."
"Even if Thomas was not in the picture, I won't forgive him. But Zoe, why does my heart hurt that much? Why?" She was kneeling in front of Zoe's tomb and was crying so hard.
Cool wind was blowing and her hair sort of floated in the air.
Her words of desperation also drifted away with the wind.
If there was an afterlife, she would immediately find Zoe and cherish him. If she could not give him love, she would be very affectionate to him.
After a long while of crying out her sadness and anxieties, she felt a bit relieved. Lola rubbed her red eyes.
Then she bowed in front of Zoe's tomb. "Zoe, I was sorry that I didn't come to see you every day. You had to take care of yourself there.
I would try my best to make myself happy so I wouldn't worry those who loved me. I'll be a better Lola
in the future.
Zoe, see you next time."
It was already getting dark when Lola left the cemetery. The cemetery was a remote location and she couldn't find a taxi.
So she had to take out her cell phone and call her elder brother.
Jordan's phone had rung for a long time, but he didn't answer it. Maybe he was busy in the barracks.
Walking along the deserted road with her phone, she unconsciously thought of Zoe again.
It was Zoe who took her home five years ago when she was dropped at the suburb of Dreles by a taxi driver.
At that time, she called Harry, but he didn't answer his urgent call.
At the moment, her phone rang and she thought it was Jordan calling back.
She answered the phone before she could see the caller's name, "Jordan, I was in Strinas Cemetery and there's no taxi here. Please come and pick me up."
Strinas Cemetery? The man on the other side hung up the phone after a soft "Hmm".
There was only a soft "Hmm". It was strange. But Lola didn't think too much about it. She opened her Weibo and waited a long time.
She tweeted a comment, "I'm in the suburb again and there is still no taxi to go back. However, this time your phone will never be connected again." With eyes full of tears, she clicked the send button. After calming down her emotions, she started to refresh other posts.
Just after the transfusion in the hospital, Harry went to the LN. But he didn't find Lola there.
