Chapter 96 After Returning

(Raphael's POV)
I hope my body will recover faster and
I was not in a very happy mood when I learned that my collaborator was Justin.
However, it turned out that the decision was in Lena's hands.
As soon as I hung up Lena's phone, I regretted it.
Maybe it was because I was hurt that my emotions became a little unstable and I wished I could have returned to Lena's side sooner.
But the more anxious I was, the worse my condition became, and even my doctor made a point of telling me to keep a good cheerful mood.
After that meeting, Lena never mentioned that incident again.
This is a good thing for me, but I always feel a little strange.
"Lena." I sat on the hospital bed and looked at Lena inside the video.
Lena looked up at me after she heard my voice, "What's wrong?"
"The doctor said I'm in a position to exercise."
Lena nodded, "When do you plan to return?"
"Soon, either tomorrow or the day after."
"Okay."
Lena looked at me, and her face didn't seem to show any particular joy.
Although I don't know exactly how to behave to my satisfaction.
"Don't you want to say something else?"
Lena put on a serious thinking face, then, she said softly, "Perhaps, Rafael, you can talk to me without that."
"What?"
Before I could say anything, Lena stretched out her hand at me, "I know you're concerned about that day, and to be honest, I've been waiting for you to say something, but, you didn't seem to have that in mind, so I just kept quiet."
"I just don't know what to say."
"Indeed, Rafael, it's surprising that you would want to refuse this cooperation for that amount of reasons." Lina gave a soft laugh, but I had good reason to suspect that Lina was mocking me.
I was just about to say something when Lena interrupted me, "Rafael, if I had listened to you then, you would probably have a much harder time now, and I didn't think you would be so childish."
Lena said to me in a joking tone, she wasn't angry, however, I didn't know what kind of attitude to put on.
I sighed surreptitiously, then turned to Lena and said, "Honestly, Lena, even if I didn't take advantage of this opportunity, I'll have other opportunities to find better people to work with."
"Wow, you're amazing!" Lena sounded very dismissive.
I suddenly had the urge to laugh out loud, but, I managed to control my expression.
Lena should have noticed my mood, she gave a soft laugh, "Rafael, Jamie and I miss you, take care of yourself, come back early, and don't think about anything else, okay?"
I nodded, "Okay, I'll be back early."
"That previous sentence is the point."
"Okay, I'll take care of myself."
Lena finally showed a smile of satisfaction.
"If you have nothing else, I think we should be able to end this conversation, Jamie is already sleepy."
Although I wanted to continue to talk to Lena about something, Lena also looked very tired.
I hung up the video and was going to rest as well, but, at this time, Landon suddenly sent me a message.
Landon told me that he had looked into Johnson, but it would be some time before he could be sure if it was one or the other.
Although this is good news, now I am not as hopeful as I was at the beginning that Lena can regain her memory sooner.
I told Landon not to tell Lena about it and to wait until I got back to deal with everything.
Two days passed and I finally made it back to New York, but even when I got there, I had to go to the local hospital for a checkup.
It was still early in the morning and I didn't want to disturb Lena, but when I arrived at the hospital, Lena was already waiting there.
We have been separated for twenty days, although we have been in contact with each other during this period, but, when I saw Lena for that moment, there were still uncontrollable thoughts.
Lena smiled at me, "Welcome home!"
(Lena's POV)
When Raphael came back, a lot of things no longer needed my attention. I finally had an easy life.
However, though Raphael's injury is still serious, I still need to worry about a lot of things.
One of the things that gave me the most headache was that in ten days, Rafael was going to attend a press conference and I was going to be there as an escort.
"I didn't think I had to go, Rafael." I could already imagine the pain on my face, but Raphael looked as if he didn't even care.
I even went so far as to use my beauty so that I could not have to attend this conference.
I walked over to Rafael and sat down, then, smiled at Rafael.
I swear the smile came from the heart.
But Raphael's expression did not waver.
"Rafael, can I not attend?"
Rafael shook his head very firmly.
For a moment, I looked like a leaking doll: "I don't even have to attend this conference, your company has nothing to do with me, we're just husband and wife."
"Lena, you are my wife and will be the mistress of the Hill Group in the future."
I looked to Rafael: "Is there no possibility of negotiation?"
"Yes, Lena, I'm sorry to tell you that you have to attend."
I felt like I had been hit by something.
Maybe Rafael looked at me too pitifully, he reached out and gently stroked the top of my head: "Lena, there is no need for you to say anything, you just have to show up, and when the time comes, I will take care of you."
I looked to Raphael, who looked serious, and I admit that I was indeed comforted by Raphael.
So, I nodded and accepted the fact.
"So, can you show that look again that you just did?"
"What?" I felt like I wasn't able to understand Raphael's words anymore.
"It was just like that, weren't you hoping I could grant your request for the sake of your beauty?"
"......" I looked over at Raphael, suddenly not knowing what to say.
Then I threw Raphael's hand that was on top of his head straight down.
"He--" Without expecting it, Raphael took a breath of cold air straight backward.
His expression looked very painful as if I had indeed just caused him pain.
However, I am not very sad.
"Lena, I pulled the wound." Rafael turned his head to look at me, his brow still furrowed and not at all stretched.
I admit I did falter a bit.
I looked at Raphael suspiciously and said, "Let me see the wound."
The moment I reached out my hand, Raphael suddenly grabbed my wrist. Without waiting for me to react, I was already pulled by Raphael.
It has been a month since Rafael returned to New York, half a month ago.
However, it is still some time before Rafael fully recovers.
But Rafael still took advantage of my trust in him!
Once I was pulled into Raphael's arms, I held my breath.
Raphael had me pinned down and seemed completely unconcerned about his wounds.
On the one hand, I was worried about his wounds, and on the other hand, I didn't want to do something out of the ordinary with Rafael at this time again.
I reached out and tried to push Rafael away.
However, this does not seem to be an easy task.
Rafael recovered quite well, the same strength, I simply could not break free of him.
So, I had to beg helplessly, "Come on, Raphael, at least not at this time, okay?"
But Rafael didn't listen to me at all; he buried his head in the nook of my shoulder and said, "Lena, we've been going on for almost two months."
"You bear with it a little longer, after your injury is completely healed, I promise you whatever you want to do, but, not now."
Still, Rafael didn't get up, though.
I knew what he was thinking.
Raphael not only wants the latter but also the now.
I rolled my eyes.
Since I have given him the opportunity, but he does not know how to cherish it, it really can not be blamed on me.
So I pushed his arm as hard as I could with my greatest strength.
Rafael gave a soft laugh.
My face has been held through: "Get up quickly."
Raphael finally intended to let me go, however, my strength did not succeed in collecting.
The very moment Raphael got up, my fist hit him in the chest.
In an instant, my cold sweat broke out!
Rafael's face also became a little stiff, he looked at me and said nothing.
After a long time, I said tentatively, "Are you okay?"
Rafael took a deep, shuffling breath, then he leaned back and put some distance between himself and me.
"Remember what you said today, Lena." Raphael's voice suddenly became a little weaker.
I knew that I must have touched his wound.
Although even at this time, Raphael still does not forget to joke, I no longer care about that.
Thank God that Raphael's wounds were not opened.
Where I dare to do anything else, I nodded my head and then rested after doing all I needed to do as fast as I could.
The day of the launch came, Rafael wore his suit for the first time since his injury, and I looked at Rafael's appearance and nodded in satisfaction.
Once I had changed and stepped out of the room, Rafael held out his hand to me, "Let's go."
I looked to Rafael and put my hand on it.
Then, we set off together towards the launch site.
