Chapter 393 Involuntary

&#lt;p&#gt;&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Sure enough, when Leila arrived at the top floor, there was no one in the corridor, the secretary was not
there, and only the president's room was lit. Was he working overtime alone?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Before she even entered the office, she heard one cough after another, each one hitting Leila in the
heart. At this moment, her heart hurt so much. He was the man she loved, the man she had loved
secretly for years, the man she finally married, but also the man she had to leave. From then on, was
she still qualified to care for him?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;As her fingers trembled and reached out to knock on the door, she finally stopped! Hesitantly, listening
to the coughing, she didn't walk in after all.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Instead, she sent a message to Arthur: Arthur, Vincent is sick, can you take him to the hospital?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After sending the message, she hid to the side of the corridor and waited anxiously for Arthur's reply.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;And in the president's room, the constant coughing sound was so clear. The low cough echoed back
and forth in the dark corridor, tugging at her heartstrings. She was so worried!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Just, between them, was there still a need for such entanglement?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;This kind of love was like collecting the silk of silkworms little by little, and it hurt too much!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She finally understood that unrequited love was a kind of utter loneliness. There was sweetness, there
was happiness, but, what was more was the heartache of being alone. When the love was gone, the
heart was empty!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She would rather her love for him had always been a secret love! Even if he knew everything, she
would rather lie to herself and tell herself that it was still a secret love and that nothing had happened!&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Her phone rang, and it was Arthur calling. The phone rang only once and Leila hurriedly picked it up
lest Vincent hear that she was right outside the office. She answered the phone in a low voice, "Hello?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Arthur's voice came from the other end of the line. "I know Vincent is sick, and I've got a doctor for him.
Didn't he have an injection? I'll check it out, where are you?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I...I'm at home!" Leila whispered. "He's in the president's office with a severe cough. You go check it
out! Please!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"All right! Don't worry and leave it to me!" Arthur was decisive. "I'll definitely take him to get the IV!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Vincent, who was in the president's office, seemed to hear Leila's phone ring, but then he shook his
head and thought he must be coughing until he was experiencing tinnitus and hallucinations! Then
there was another coughing fit, one louder than the other.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;It took Arthur twenty minutes to get here.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;During the twenty minutes, Leila hid at the stairway, listening to the coughing sounds coming from the
president's office, her heart burning with anxiety. When she finally heard the elevator bell, she
immediately concealed herself while Arthur strode toward the president's office, "Vincent, you're
coughing so badly, do you want to cough yourself to death?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"None of your business!" Said Vincent, with another coughing fit. "Cough ––"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Let's go see a doctor, you need to see a doctor!" Arthur didn't give Vincent a good-natured look, "You
think I love coming to you? It was Leila who called and told me!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Vincent was stunned instantly, and there was a consternation on his face, followed by a bitter smile.
"How is this possible?"&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Why not?" Arthur frowned, and it was only then that he saw Vincent's lifted face, and he realized that
not only was Vincent coughing, but even his eyes were red, seemingly the symptom of a high fever.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Ignoring him, he walked over and stretched out his hand to test his body temperature, and what was
under his palm was a burning heat. Sure enough, not only was he coughing, he was running a high
fever. "Damn it, you want to die, huh?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Go to the hospital and see a doctor!" Quickly snatching the documents from Vincent's hand, Arthur
picked him up as he said irresistibly, "Let's go, I'll be in charge of getting you there and also giving Leila
an explanation!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Vincent was still not convinced, "Leila won't care about me!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You're going to ruin yourself if she doesn't care about you, huh?" Arthur growled at him without good
grace.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Outside the office, Leila, after hearing Arthur and Vincent's conversation, was even more upset, an
indescribably complicated taste swirling in her heart.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You may leave now!" Vincent pushed Arthur away. He knew that Leila wouldn't care about him. He had
felt guilty about her and had felt sad, so it didn't matter if he was physically sick, and it just so
happened that the sickness could alleviate the pain in his heart!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Let's go!" Arthur ignored him as he dragged and yanked him out the door.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I said, no, I don't need it!" Vincent was a bit annoyed by his pull.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;But Arthur turned a blind eye to him and pulled him straight away.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After they got into the elevator, Leila finally breathed a sigh of relief as she listened to the sound of the
elevator doors closing. She walked out of the stairway and waited for five minutes before taking&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;another elevator downstairs.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;As soon as Arthur and Vincent arrived downstairs, when Arthur helped Vincent walk out of the office,
they met the security guard, who saw that only Arthur and Vincent came out and was immediately a bit
puzzled. "President, didn't Mrs. President come down with you?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Mrs. President?" Vincent was abruptly surprised.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yes! Mrs. President came to you just now, she went upstairs and hasn't come down yet!" The guard
explained.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Vincent's heart immediately surged with ecstasy, and his voice was followed by excitement. "You said
Leila is here?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"It's the second daughter of the Hunter family!" The guard affirmed.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;There was a flash of sadness in Arthur's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash. "It was Leila who called
me, and I think she's still upstairs. This girl, she obviously cares about you, but she doesn't want to
show it."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Vincent turned his head to look in the direction of the elevator, she came but didn't see him. A twinge of
pain flashed through his heart. She turned out not to be so cold and heartless.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He didn't care, he wanted to see her, and he wanted to see her right now!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Not long after, the elevator doors opened and Vincent really saw Leila coming out of the elevator. For a
moment, Vincent's heart pounded. He looked at her tiny figure with excitement.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leila had her head down and didn't even see the two outstanding men at the entrance. Suddenly, a
coughing sound came and she was startled to look up and see Vincent and Arthur standing at the
entrance of the building.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;For a moment, she didn't know how to confront them.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;While Leila was hesitating what to do, Vincent had walked over.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leila glanced at Arthur with a trace of chagrin, while a smile flashed in Arthur's eyes, which was so
warm. Leila had to grit her teeth and greeted him, opening her mouth and shouting, "Mr. White!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Her fair face was fixed in front of his eyes, Vincent's eyes instantly tightened, and his handsome face
didn't change in the slightest. However, the condensed eyes revealed his real emotions, which were an
indescribable struggle, fondness and reluctance.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leila had no choice but to walk up to him, "Please go see a doctor, Mr. White!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;But he reached out, pulled her into his arms, and whispered in her ear, "You go with me!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leila's heart trembled violently, and she couldn't actually tell what that strange feeling in her heart was.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;As Arthur watched them embrace together, he averted his eyes slightly and looked away. Suddenly, he
felt annoyed and had the thought of smoking, but in the end, he gave up the thought and quickly
calmed down instead.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Let's go!" Since she had been caught, Leila didn't want to be pretentious any longer. "Let's go to the
hospital!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Vincent's heart was slightly pleased and leaned his body on Leila, she frowned and he immediately
said, "I have no strength!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She looked up at him, at his red bloodshot eyes and slightly flushed face. His eyes staring at her were
so deep, so deep that they seemed to suck her in.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leila had a momentary lapse of concentration and felt as if she had fallen into a quagmire. She was
powerless to struggle, unable to escape, yet she was so willing...
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You two, if you keep hugging, I'm afraid your illness will turn into pneumonia!" Arthur had to remind
them.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Cough, cough, cough ––" The coughing started up again.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The spell unraveled in an instant.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leila blushed, lowered her head, and helped Vincent out.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;In the hospital.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Vincent was given an infusion after the tests were done. Lying in the hospital bed, Vincent's gaze
followed Leila's figure closely as Arthur finally said to Vincent after paying the medical bill, "Vincent, I'm
leaving, I realize I'm the light bulb, an oversized one. I don't feel like being that, so I'll go first!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Without saying anything to Leila, Arthur just left, and Leila, who walked out of the doctor's office and
didn't see Arthur, immediately asked, "Where's Arthur?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Did he leave? Leila felt sorry for him, obviously she was there, but she let him come anyway.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Vincent was silent, under the light, his gentle eyes were as bright as moonlight, as handsome as the
god of heaven, and he just looked at her unblinkingly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leila panicked, "Go to sleep! It seems like you haven't slept for a long time!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Vincent's gentle lips abruptly hooked into an evil smile, revealing a million affections for her. His voice
was low like sweet mellow wine, yet he said in a childish tone, "I'm afraid you'll be gone when I fall
asleep!"&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The blazing look of tenderness in his eyes gave Leila's heart a great shock, and she subconsciously
said, "I won't leave!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Leila..." He reached out, grabbed her small hand and said gently, "Don't you go, cough, cough -"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Vincent had another coughing fit, which broke the wonderful atmosphere, but his dependence made
her heart feel doubly sore. Then, a touching warmth rushed to her heart, and her dark eyes could not
help but emerge with a thin layer of mist...
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Stop it, you get some rest and I'll watch you!" That was all she could say.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He smiled, and his smile shimmered in her eyes, making her mesmerized. "I'm not sleepy! I want to talk
to you!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;They hadn't been together for days since that incident. He really didn't want to part with her. He had a
difficult time making up his mind to say yes to her because he was afraid she would be in a difficult
situation, but now that she was coming to care for him, he really didn't know how to let her go!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leila raised her eyes to meet his smiling eyes, sighed deeply, and asked softly, "Is something wrong
with the company?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yeah!" He nodded silently, with a smile still on his lips.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leila was choked, "Something has happened and you're still smiling?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I'm glad to see you!" He said patiently, as gentle as water.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;An inexplicable feeling came over her, and she whispered, "What's so good about seeing me?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Leila!" Vincent sighed softly and pulled her small hand to his chest so she could feel the sound of his
heartbeat. "Nothing is more important in my heart than you right now!"&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The thought of her leaving him just for her kin made his heart begin to ache vaguely!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leila's heart was trembling, and her small hands were trembling along with it, feeling his fiery heart
beating under his blazing chest. He said she was the most important, and for some reason, she
believed it!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;His words made her tears well up in her eyes, a mist coalescing in them.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She looked down into his deep dark eyes, where there was absolute sincerity.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After spending so much time with him, Leila gradually felt as if she had become accustomed to this
dependence in her life, accustomed to his intense masculine scent. As long as he was by her side, any
more insecurities seemed to be replaced by happiness.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
