Chapter 484 Something Bad Is Gonna Happen


    "Please have a seat," Anthony smiled at Lisa warmly, as he watched her take the seat opposite him.


    Lisa took a small bite of her steamed egg custard and remarked in a regretful tone,"After I return to


    America, it''ll be hard to find delicious Chinese food."


    Anthony asked in shock as his eyes opened wide,"Did you really resign today?"


    "Oh, yeah I did," Lisa replied nkly. Lisa was a girl of her word. Now that she had decided to leave,


    she was determined to get everything in order to leave as soon as possible. So after she reached the


    hospital this morning, she headed straight to the dean''s office and handed in her resignation.


    "The dean agreed to handle my resignation procedures soon after he knew that I needed to go back.


    Probably things will be settled in a week," Lisa stated.


    "So soon? I thought it was going to take a month." Anthony froze in thought, ''This time when she


    leaves she''ll leave here forever. I might never see her again.''


    "I don''t think it''s fast really. If it were up to me, I''d finish the procedures tomorrow itself," Lisa replied


    with a downcast expression, as she adorned a faint smile. She soon changed the subject and


    continued,"My family and friends were so excited and happy when they heard that I wasing back


    soon. If you evere to America, please do drop by and visit me. I''ll be more than happy to see you


    there."


    "Okay, I will surely. If you evere back here, I''ll be d to meet you as well," Anthony reciprocated


    in a rather t tone.


    With a polite smile, Lisa said to Anthony,"To be honest, I don''t think I''lle back here. I have many


    miserable memories here. If I return, I might find it difficult to live it all over again."


    She nced at Anthony and said,"I''m full now. I gotta go finish some documentation."


    Since that lunch, Anthony didn''t meet Lisa again at the hospital. It seemed like Lisa was dodging him


    deliberately.


    On the day Lisa finished her exiting procedures, she invited Autumn to dine out. Autumn dly agreed


    expecting to hear news about the development between Lisa and Anthony. But to her amazement, Lisa


    told her that she had booked her air ticket and was leaving the country soon.


    "Why did you make this decision all of a sudden? What happened since Ist met you for things to


    have gone down in a drastically different direction?" Autumn asked as her brows were raised with


    confusion.


    "I had considered leaving for a long time. So, it wasn''t a rash decision. The circumstances here are not


    in my favor," Lisa replied with a wide smile. "Now that Anthony doesn''t like me, I have no reason to


    continue to stay here. I think leaving is the best decision for both of us. I can move on without


    badgering him to date me"


    "But..." Autumn frowned. "How are you dealing with leaving him behind like this?"


    "I have no choice. If I got even one sign from him about wanting this rtionship, I would have


    dedicated my heart and soul into rekindling our fire, but it does not seem like he wants us with the


    same intensity I do," Lisa replied with a bitter smile. "He loves someone else. No matter how hard I try,


    I will never get him back. I can see that my love for him has be a burden for him which is


    anchoring him down. So I must leave him. I don''t want to leave a bad impression on him."


    Autumn wrinkled her forehead into a frown, not knowing how tofort her.

    ''I don''t want to see Lisa leave. If she leaves, Anthony will never find a girl who loves him as much as


    Lisa does.


    She is a good girl, why doesn''t he like her? What kind of girl does he want to date?'' she wondered.


    Staring at Autumn''s scowling face, Lisa poked fun with a smile,"Come on! I''m the one with a broken


    heart. Why do you look sadder than me?"


    Autumn remained silent.


    "Actually I came to say goodbye to you. You tried your best in helping me win back Anthony. I really


    appreciate your support. In the future, if you take a travel to America, please do visit me," Lisa said


    while looking at Autumn.


    "Now that you have resolved to leave, I''ll respect your decision and support you," Autumn sighed with a


    disappointed look. "You mentioned earlier... Anthony has a crush on someone. Who is that girl?"


    "Well..." Lisa stammered, not knowing what to say next. With an embarrassed expression, she nced


    at Autumn, and went on,"I think it''s better for you not to know it. Anthony and she can never be


    together."


    "Why not?" Autumn asked in utter confusion. Observing Lisa''s hesitant expression, she changed the


    subject,"Forget it. If you don''t want to tell me, I understand. Well, then I wish you a safe journey and the


    best for your future."


    Autumn and Lisa left the restaurant and bid farewell to each other cordially.


    Brent had driven Autumn here. When she walked back to her car, she didn''t find him inside. She called


    him, but no one answered. As Brent didn''t show up, she lost her patience and grew anxious.


    She stood beside the car, looking all around. All of a sudden, she caught a glimpse of Le. But in a


    blink of an eye, she was out of sight. Autumn was shocked.


    Fear crept up on her as she suspected that she was traced. After waiting for quite a while, Brent finally


    turned up. He apologized to Autumn almost like he hadn''t disappeared for long,"I''m sorry, Mrs. Lu. I


    had diarrhea, so I urgently rushed to the bathroom. Why didn''t you call me?"


    "I called you several times but no one answered," Autumn replied with discontent. "Did anything


    happen to you, Brent? Howe you have an upset stomach so frequently?"


    Autumn didn''t believe his excuse for he had always used the same excuse.


    Brent''s expression told her that something had happened to him which he was hiding.


    "I''m fine," Brent replied, avoiding Autumn''s eyes. "Oh, I forgot I left my phone in the car," he faltered.


    With an awkward smile, he tried to change the topic and said,"Mrs. Lu, did you wait a long time?"


    "It doesn''t matter. Let''s just head home!" Autumn urged, looking displeased. She felt ufortable


    standing there almost like someone was watching her. All she wanted was to leave here as soon as


    possible to feel safe and calm again.


    After reaching home, she still experienced palpitations from that anxious situation. She had a gut


    feeling that something terrible might happen.


    Nancy poured Autumn a ss of milk. Noticing that Autumn looked restless, she asked,"Is everything


    okay, Mrs. Lu?"


    "I''m disillusioned. I feel like something bad is going to happen," Autumn answered with a worried and


    anxious expression. She confided in Nancy for she couldn''t find anyone else and needed to talk about


    it as she was growing increasingly worried by the minute.


    Since Chris was married and no longer in the same, Autumn couldn''t find someone to talk to


    immediately.


    "What happened? Did you not sleep well? Is your belly hurting?" Nancy asked with concern. Ever since


    Autumn hired Brent as her driver, Nancy treated her like her own daughter. That was why she looked


    equally worried and concerned when Autumn told her the problem.


    "I''m at a loss of words," Autumn shook her head with a troubled look. She constantly recalled the


    shing sight of Le. As she recalled that Le feigned her pregnancy and traced herself stealthily, her


    uneasiness increased greatly.


    "Mrs. Lu," Nancy called tenderly, as she took a seat next to Autumn. "Perhaps you haven''t rested well.


    That''s why you are so nervous. Please go ahead and sleep for a while. You are home now, safe and


    sound. Nothing will happen to you here," she consoled.


    "I really hope so," Autumn responded absently as her thoughts were caught in a mess.
