Chapter 6 She Met Xia yu

Antony’s face was calm, but an undetectable light flashed in his eyes. “Don’t play this kind of trick in front of me.” Helen was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what he said. She had never stepped in the world of men and women’s feelings, but she had ever watched dramas in TV… Did he actually thought that she had purposely seduced him? She lowered her head and was silent. With his identity, everything he said was right, so she had nothing to say. She turned around and didn’t even want to excuse herself, and directly returned to her room. Her mother said that her personality was too cold. Actually, she wanted to defend herself. When she was in high school, she was the vice-president of the students’ council in school. She was cheerful and lively, who was recognized by everyone. However, in front of her mother, she never dared to laugh loudly since she was a child, never dared to lose her behavior, because her mother would be upset. She always said that a woman should look like a woman. In the past, she felt it was too painful to endure. Then, it had been going on for six years, and she no longer needed to deliberately endure it as she had become as calm as water. At noon, Paddy said that he wanted to eat dessert. She took the time to make something for him. In order to improve her mother’s appetite, she was good at cooking even though she didn’t learn anything else. After she was done, she saw that Paddy still had more time to sleep, so she was going to take a nap. After she cooked noodles for Antony Davis last night, she was thinking about something then until she slept late. At this moment, her head was a little dizzy. When she was going up, she saw Mrs. Liu coming down and panting. “Mrs. Liu, why are you in a hurry? Is there a problem?” “Oh, Helen, it’s you?” Then she was thinking, patting her own head. “Look at me. Aren’t you available? Who am I looking for then?” she said, then she passed the transparent plastic bag to Helen’s hand. “This is young master’s medicine, send it to him.” “Medicine?” Helen lifted up the bag in her hand and there was a small print wrote, “Depression, sleep?” She froze. Such insufferably arrogant person like him had depression? Seeing her doubt, Mrs. Liu couldn’t help but sighed. “Something happened to young master when he was a kid, then he can never sleep well at night. So he must take these medicines.” Helen hummed. All rich families had something they couldn’t tell people. It was better for her to know less. “Or shall I ask the driver to send it over? I’m also not familiar with the road,” she declined. She really didn’t want to interact much with that man. “I’m afraid the drive has loose lips. You know there are some things that is inconvenient to let outsiders know.” Outsiders? Wasn’t she an outsider? “Helen, do me a favor. Young master will be away on a business trip this afternoon. I’m afraid it’ll be too late if we don’t send it over now.” Business trip? He could buy it when he got there. Didn’t he have money? “This medicine can’t be bought in ordinary places.” Even though Mrs. Liu wasn’t a business person, she naturally could gauge people’s mind as she had lived with The Davis for years. She could see Helen’s hesitation, so she continue to explain patiently. “Forget it, go back to your work. I’ll go by myself,” Mrs. Liu said, about to take back the medicine. Helen’s heart softened when she thought of her pain. Under the one-hundred-story building, Helen took a deep breath. It was her first time to enter such luxurious and high-end building. She really felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden and was a little nervous. When she found the reception desk, she said that she had something to send. The receptionist scanned at her up and down, looking not believing. But, she still politely asked her to sit at the sides and called the president’s office on the top floor. “Medicine? The president isn’t sick, what medicine? Can’t you do your job right?” the secretary said and then ended the call. The receptionist looked a bit upset because she was scolded. She turned to Helen and said, “Excuse me, miss. The people on top said that no one asking for medicine, so I can’t let you go up.” Then she turned and ignored her. These days, women who wanted to approach the president really had all tricks up their sleeves. Helen closed her eyes and sighed. For society to judge people by appearances was not strange thing anymore. She took out her phone and dialed Mrs. Liu’s phone, wanting her to say a few words to Antony Davis, but she couldn’t reach her phone. She thought about leaving and didn’t want to care, but she was entrusted by someone. To leave just like that would be too irresponsible. So she found a seat by the doorway and sat there. Mrs. Liu said that he had a business trip this afternoon, so she would wait by the door. There shouldn’t be a problem. Leaning against the chair, she felt a little sleepy. “Helen…” In her blurry state, she heard someone was calling her name. It was a man’s voice. She opened her eyes and immediately stood up when she saw the person. “Doc—Dr. Xia, why… why are you here?” She was too surprised. She couldn’t believe that she could meet an acquaintance in C City. Xia Yu stared at Helen and stepped forward without any explanation and took her into his arms. “When your mother passed away, I was on a business trip. I only heard about it after I came back. Then, I never saw you again. I couldn’t reach your phone. I thought I will never see you again.” He heard that she was asking about The Davis Group, so he came here to try his luck, but he didn’t expect to get to meet her. Because of her mother’s illness, they had known each other for almost five years. Perhaps her appearance was the most ordinary out of every woman he knew, but her heart was the most beautiful he had ever met. He remembered the first time he met her, he was doing a ward round. And he didn’t know why but she was being scolded by her mother with such ugly and mean words. But not only didn’t she get angry, she even kept a smile on and advised her mother to not hurt herself. Since that moment, he paid more attention to this ordinary girl. Later, he found that she was crying behind her mother’s back. But after she wiped away her tears, she told a joke to a child with cancer. She was very tired and sleepy herself, but she still massaged for the grandma who in the same room and had just undergone an operation. The past few years, it was always her alone who took care of her mother. She didn’t have friends and relatives helping her, but she looked like she had never complained… She had so many shining points that Xia Yu felt like he had met a ‘treasure’. It was a pity that this woman always acted indifferent with him, but because of this that he couldn’t stop. Due to her mother’s prejudice against him, it was difficult for them to have the chance to talk. When finally there was no more hindrance between them, she disappeared. During this time, because of her departure, the indescribable loss and emptiness in his heart made him deeply realize that he liked this ordinary woman. Helen was a little embarrassed by his sudden hug. She had changed her phone number, wanting to cut off with her past. She had never thought of contacting someone. Xia Yu was 182cm tall, wearing a thin beige half-high collar sweater and light-colored jeans. His facial features wasn’t as strong as Antony Davis’, he was much more delicate. He looked like Korean drama’s idol, looking like a warm man. He was her mother’s doctor in charge. Because of her illness, she needed chemotherapy and was often hospitalized. In the past few years, the two frequently contacted and had become friends. However, for her, he was only a friend who she could say a few words too and greeted him. So, she was a little awkward at Xia Yu’s enthusiasm at the moment. “I…” She didn’t know how to explain her current situation. She bit her lip and lowered her head, not saying anything.
