Chapter 257 You Should Be On Her Sides
But she had to pretend otherwise Hence, she called out to Nova in an affectation of worry. “Nova! Nova!”
She was going to get out of her sickbed as she crying but Henry pinned her down and said, “Just leave her alone!”
Kelly, pale in her face, shook her head in an anxious manner. “Henry, I’m afraid that Nova can’t get over it, the
statement of grandpa must
be a terrible blow to her. I have to help her out of the funk she is in case sadness will drive her to attempt suicide!”
Kelly’s last few words struck Henry!
Nova, having no relatives, was alone in the world. She was prone to do that…
But he banished the thought when Nova’s words of contempt crossed his mind “For a woman who would jockey for
she wants by
devious means, a woman as hypocritical and scheming as she is, committing suicide is beyond the realms of
possibility!”

head violently, she
said, “Henry, don’t say that anymore, anyhow, she is my cousin, the only relative of my age, could stop hurting her?
Please, for my sake…”
Henry was deluded easily by Kelly’s performance. Looking at her seemingly sorrowful eyes, he compromised.
“Alright, but you have to lie down in a proper position first.”
Kelly was unwilling to go back to her sickbed but Henry urged again, “If you don’t do as I ask, I won’t let her go
lightly.”
“I’ll do it! Right away! Henry, promise me you won’t hurt her!”
Henry didn’t give a definite reply to her pleading. He just tucked her in and said apathetically, “I gotta go now, I’ll
come to see you
tomorrow.”
Kelly’s eyes were filled with reluctance when she heard that, but she had to let him go because she had thought of
what Nova had said just now. “I see. And Henry, if you are tied up with work, you don’t have to fit me in. My leg is
definitely on the mend now So I’ll be all right here.” Said Kelly with an approving nod.
Henry nodded back and left with strides.
He had quickened his pace out of the sick room. When he got to the elevator hall, one of the elevators has
descended to almost the floor of underground parking. Henry hastened to take the other elevator to the
underground parking.
Standing with a face like thunder, Henry reeked of anger and coldness, which seemed to sharply lower the
temperature in the confined
space.
As soon as Henry arrived at the parking floor, he glanced around to search for Nova.
Finding no trace of her, Henry accessed the underground parking.
He was walking like a bat out of hell while Nova was in her high–heeled shoes walking, so Henry caught up with her
within minutes.

Nova was frightened by the movement and she made a subconscious attempt to free herself, but only saw Henry’s
sullen face. Nova
seethed with rage in a flash. Knitting her eyebrows, she spat, “What are you doing?!”
Regardless of her reaction, Henry dragged her to the passenger seat of his car despite Nova keeping resisting.
Nova was not as strong and agile as Henry, that’s why Henry could duck every blow of her. “What on earth are you
going to do?!” Nova gave up the struggle with
resignation.
“It is Grandma who wants to see you!” Closing the door, Henry answered sourly.
The expression on Nova’s face changed slightly. She was surprised and puzzled by Henry’s words. Why grandma
suddenly wants to see
her again after she has discarded the thought of making them up? To top it all, why she sent Henry to come to her?
“I’m not free today, I’ll call grandma to explain myself later“.
Saying this, Nova was about to get out of the car. Henry’s sneer choked her attempt. “Grandma has been suffering
from her weak heart all day, you should be on her side if you don’t want to have a guilty conscience!”
