Chapter 305 - Keep a lid on that vinegar (1/2)

Lena clenched her hands into a first while the other hand suffocated Kris' hand as she squeezed it tighter. Kris did not move at all and allowed Lena to vent her anger.

Only after a long minute, Lena breathed, and Tye took her to go see Gary.

Gary was moved to a room in the basement instead of the VIP ward. Lena walked in and saw that his head was bandaged. He had just got his hair long and now it was cut off again.

Kris watched as Lena lets go of his hand and walked over to where Gary's body was. It was like de ja vu again for Kris. Lena grabbed Gary's hand and looked at him.

Before she could continue, Lena glanced over at Kris.

”If you can't keep a lid on that vinegar, then leave the room.”

”There is no vinegar. He only gets your pity when he's always on a hospital bed.”

”Maybe you should get hospitalized more often..” Lena glared at him.

”...” Kris put a lid on his vinegar and walked over to sit on the sofa. He grabbed his cellphone and started texting instead of paying attention to Lena and her public affection to another man in front of him!

Lena smiled at Kris and then focused on Gary again. She placed a hand on his face and patted it gently.

”Sorry...” She whispered. ”We're both in this together... but while I am having the time of my life, I have forgotten that you are having it worse than me. I went from rags to riches and you... you have no family here. Your father is crazy. You're a shut-off nerd. I admit that I am the bad friend this time... so, be okay, alright? We can punch Kris together when you wake up.”

Kris lifted his head when he heard that but then went back to texting.

Lena bent her head down and gave Gary a kiss on the forehead. ”When you are good again, I'll hook you up with a very good girl and we can go on a double date, okay?”

Lena stared at Gary for a few more minutes in silence. Then both Kris and she left the room. Gary was still in intensive care and no one should be seeing him, but Tye made an exception for Lena.

When they exited the room, Keso and Noah were outside the door. Kris had told both of them are to take care of Gary.

Lena greeted them quickly and then continued to walk out of the hospital. Kris trailed along behind her closely.

”Where are we going?” He asked.

”Is that even a question?” Lena smiled at him.

Kris laughed. ”I'll drive.” Of course, it was not a real question... he knew what his baby wanted and he already got the location of where Gary's father was at the moment.

When they got outside, Kris opened the passenger door for Lena and then ran to the driver's seat.

”Are you sure you want to do this? I can--”

”No. I will go handle this myself. You just need to look good, Mr. Li.” Lena replied.

”Ok. I just don't want you to be stressed out.” Kris clarified his insecurities.

”Stress?!” Lena put on her seatbelt. ”I heard that punching stuff is a good stress reliever.”

”It is indeed, my lady.” Kris chuckled and then drove to their destination.

Mr. Sanders was not in City A but instead doing business in City B. It was an hour-long drive before they got to their destination. Inside the car, Lena put on her makeup and refreshed her look. She was going into the enemy's den, so she needed to play her part well.

When they arrived at the entrance, they were greeted with guns.

”What is your purpose of being here today... Mr. Li?” The guard spoke to Kris at gunpoint.

”I am just a driver today,” Kris spoke and moved his head away so the guard can see Lena.
