CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 532 If Ever

By the evening, the bustling condition in the Hendersons' house finally came to an end in quiet.

As for Louie, she was suffering from an extreme headache, and had no choice but to ask her family doctor to bring her some pain killers.

The family doctor had been waiting upon Ryan and Tomas all along. The health condition of Ryan was not so positive, while that of Tomas was even worse.

Nevertheless, he still came and gave Louie the pain killers in the first place. Also, he told her, "Beware, my lady. You should keep away from these medicines as possible as you can, since they have negative side-effects on your kidney as well as your liver."

Offering a helpless smile, Louie answered, "I have no choice. I'm frustrated by too many things for the moment."

Before the pain killers could even take effect, Mrs. Henderson then came and knocked at her door, crying that she heard the summon of Jakub and asking Louie to help her find her find where he was.

Such condition had lasted for nearly a whole day. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

In fact, Louie actually held respect for her, since it was the first time that she was being so persistent and vigorous.

She held Mrs. Henderson in her arms and whispered, "You're being over-hysteria, mom. Jakub would never rest in peace if he were to see you like this."

With her hands covering her face, Mrs. Henderson answered with a tearing voice, "No one has ever asked him to go! And I have never asked him to leave me!"

Without any choices, Louie chose to remain silent afterwards, since the more words she spoke, the more grieved her mother would seem to be.

Collapsing down to the ground, Mrs. Henderson cried, "So close! It is so close that he is going to have everything in this house as well as everything we have been preparing for him! Why? Why did he just left without greeting me even a simple goodbye?"

As Louie stood before Mrs. Henderson with her eyes looking down at her mother, tears shed from her eyes along her cheeks.

At the moment, not only had she gotten pain inside of her head, her eyes were also burning out of grievance.

Reaching out her hands, she tried to lift her mother up, while a second thought stopped her and pushed her arms back.

She said, "It's nothing wrong for you to cry, mom. Just cry until you feel better."

It was the unresolved melancholy stuck inside of Jakub that led him to the extremity.

Since there was nothing else she could do to raise her mother up, Louie turned around and walked by the window.

Those distant relatives who came around today had all gone. Louie was perceptive enough to discover that these groups held no actual mourning inside, and even some of them were gloating at the misfortune that occurred to Ryan under their mournful faces.

In fact, Louie had heard of their conversations down the floor. Baldly, some of them said that it was nothing use for the Henderson family to make that much of money, "Just look what they culminate in

the end: there is no eventual happiness for them, let alone their own son who has just passed by. See, that's why everyone says money is nothing but a string of stupid figures!"

Indeed, the saying actually sounded reasonable. There was no use for them to strive so hard to make that much money, and if, by any chance, Jakub could ever be allowed to get rid of some of his burdens, if he had ever been told that he could live the way he liked, he would be most possibly still staying in this house safe and sound.

Given that the Henderson family had already been financially well-established in the hands of Ryan, there was actually no necessity for Jakub to ever expand the family business any further.

Jakub didn't have what it took to lead the family to the top, and the Henderson family was already rich enough to support his extravagant life.

Well, to ever ponder about such a thing further would only cause deeper melancholy.

Waiting by the window for a while later, footsteps were heard at the end of the corridor — Ryan was helped out of the room.

With a pause of hesitation, Louie walked up and checked him up. Although Ryan did not seem to be in good condition, he still seemed much better than Tomas.

At least, for Ryan, he was still able to walk, while for Tomas, he was completely bedridden.

With his lethargic movements, the rims of Ryan's eyes were overtly streaked with tear stains, which made his wrinkly face look even more crumpled.

Walking straight towards Ryan, Louie remained silent.

Casting her a glance, the old man simply raised and waved his hand, not seemingly in a mood to speak anything.

As she looked at Ryan's face, there was a slightly complicated feeling generated inside of her, and she couldn't tell where it actually came from.

Going downstairs, Ryan was supported by his servant, and walked towards the backyard.

As for Louie, she was standing in the corridors of the second floor, with an absent-minded look on her face.

Suddenly, as she awaited for a while, she headed to the room of Ryan instead of going back to her own room.

The door was closed. As Louie took hold of the door handle and turned it, luckily, the door was not locked.

The room of Ryan was big. Louie took a quick glance at the surrounding, and then rummaged around in a wardrobe set aside.

The wardrobe was big, while there were not many clothes inside. However, a built-in safe box set on the right of the wardrobe attracted her attention.

Looking at the safe, she had no idea about its password, so she dared not to try to open it without careful consideration.

With her eyes fixed on that box for a while, she had no choice but close the wardrobe, turn around and go out of the room.

In the backyard, Ryan was just sitting there and doing nothing — he was too old to just bear the miserable fact,

However, compared to Tomas, the old man was actually a little more sane and rational than his son in the face of misfortune.

He clearly knew that it was nothing helpful for him to risk his own life for it, and thus he needed to adjust himself back to normality as soon as possible — the only thing was that he still needed time to digest the overwhelming hurt stuck inside.

Dismissing his servants, the old man said he wanted to stay alone for a while.

Daring not to just simply leave him here alone, the servant walked aside and waited under a tree.

After a long while later, Ryan took out his phone and dialed a number.

The call was soon answered within a minute.

The old man kept down his voice and asked, "Have you found the one or not?"

An apology was sounded on the other end of the call, "Not yet. I'm sorry, but our men have been looking around out there. They will contact me once they have found something."

Ryan hummed, and the doleful look inside of his eyes had already disappeared.

He then said, "Not necessarily. You shall better get everything arranged ahead and transfer my goods to somewhere else safe temporarily. My intuition tells me that something is going on."

With a pause, the man answered, "Really? We have been doing this for such a long time, and never have we ever met with any situation."

The old man exhaled and responded, "Do what I said just in case."

A confirmative yes was heard from the man, and he promised Ryan that everything would be fine.

The old man trusted them — for all these years, they had long been working together, and never had them been caught for once.

The call didn't last long, and their conversation focused only on key points.

At the end of the talk, the man also exhibited concern for the current situation of Ryan.

Heaving a sigh, the old man assured them that he was still tough enough to hang in there, and said he would take Tomas there to get familiar with everything when they had time.

Hanging up the call, the old man looked up at the sky, and felt distressed inside.

Except for the family business of Hendersons, he was also working on something else in the meantime, which was originally to be taken over by Jakub after he grew into a man.

Now, it became something impossible forever, and Ryan had no other choice but to tell Tomas everything about that after he got over the plight.

The old man was disturbed by the unpleasant feelings stuck inside, as well as a hint of speechless hatred that was originally at something else.

Sitting for quite a long while, he found that Louie was walking towards him with red, tearful eyes.

Walking up, Louie took her seat beside the old man, and comforted him that there was nothing helpful to remain sad — such being the case, those who survived should never forget to take good care of themselves.

Ryan turned around towards Louie with a helpless expression in his eyes.

Things would be totally different if Louie had ever succeeded in taking down Marshall.
