Chapter 160 - Garys comeback (2/2)
”Why would I be with him? He doesn't need me to hold his hands in everything he does.”
”Heh... you're as evil as ever. Was that all?”
”No..” Lena needed to ask him one more time. ”There is something else. Do you...still love me?” It felt weird saying the word love out of her mouth to Gary.
”That's such a random question.” Gary responded. ”You want me to answer you through the phone? It's not special then..”
”I know. But I need to know now.”
”No, I don't.” Gary answered her straight. ”I realized I stopped loving a long time ago. I loved the Lena who bullied me non-stop, paid no mind to me, and fake cried all the time to get attention. I know that you have been more of a friend to me lately rather than a love interest.”
Lena's mouth opened wide a bit. Not from the shock that Gary did not love her anymore, but because he had a weird fetish for the old Lena... And here Lena thought, no one really loves the old Lena but she guessed... only Gary was really meant for the old Lena.
Lena was happy that Gary realized that there was a change in Lena's personality, and that she was not completely a different person but different from the woman he loved. Gary continued to surprise her since his awakening. She guessed near-death experiences do really change people.
”Are you heartbroken? Don't start fake crying over the phone.”
”I am not!” Lena yelled back. ”Thanks... I was so not ready to reject a man who almost died. And Gary..”
”Hmmm.”
”You're still the 3rd best man that I like the most.”
”I know. See you Sunday night.”
Gary hung up the phone. He looked at the man who was eavesdropping on his conversation the whole time.
”Are you not going to tell her you're making your star debut comeback in City A already?” The man joked.
”She doesn't need to know yet. I told you that already, Kris.” Gary looked at Kris.
”I know. Finish your stuff so we can leave.” Kris told Gary. Kris did not know why today he was on watch duty for the vegetable boy.
Gary opened the door of the room he exited from to take Lena's call. He walked inside to the large room.
Gary stared at the man who was lying in a large comfortable bed with many medical machines near him. Gary pulled a chair and sat down. The sick man had a large file in his hand and a tablet playing several CCTV videos to him.
”Mr. Yang, the evidence is crystal clear... your wife wants you dead.” Gary spoke. He held up a syringe. ”I can save you, but you need to do something about that wife of yours.”
