Love Contract

Chapter 243 Exactly The Same (Part Two)

The trees were lush that they provided shade all over the place, the birds were happily chirping, and the flowers engulfed the place with their flowery fragrance.

Mary stood at the entrance of the park and stopped from time to time to appreciate the fragrance of flowers. Just as she was about to call Victor, he sent her a message first.

"Walk along the stone road then turn left at the first intersection. You'll see me there."

Mary was puzzled. However, wearing her high heels, she did as she was told.

The further she went, the thicker the fragrance from Osmanthus trees became.

"Are there Osmanthus trees here?"

When she turned left at the first intersection, Mary saw Victor with his back to her. To her surprise, he was standing under an Osmanthus tree. Hearing the sound of Mary's high heels, he turned around and smiled warmly at her. "Here you are."

"Hi. Victor, I'm here." Mary nodded and asked, "How'd you know there are Osmanthus trees here?" "I saw them by accident. I just wanted you to come and have a look." Victor's smile deepened as he spoke. "Unfortunately, these trees are not as good as those in your hometown. The fragrance is impure, and even the branches and leaves are not as thick as the ones in your hometown."

"Yes. At this time," Mary looked around the place and continued, "the Osthmanthus flowers in my hometown must be blooming ready. It's a pity that I haven't been back to see them for so many years."

As Victor gazed at Mary, his heart softened. He saw that her appearance remained unchanged even after four years. He recalled the time when they were standing under an Osthmanthus tree and he took a picture of her secretly. It was such a beautiful memory.

Mary watched as he pulled out something from his pocket. It was a title deed for a land. "Here you go," said Victor as he handed it to Mary.

"Eh? What's this?" With a puzzled look, Mary took it and opened it quickly. Upon seeing what was on the paper, she gasped in surprise. "This is... This is the land I sold in Z City. You... When did you buy it?"

"Many years ago," Victor answered with a smile. "You..."

"I said I would buy it back for you." Victor pursed his lips and continued, "I've kept that title deed in my pocket all the time, even on the first day of shooting. I wanted to find a chance to give that to you. I was actually surprised when the shooting had ended before I could even give that to you."

"This is too expensive!" Holding the deed in her hand, Mary felt scared. She was about to hand it back to Victor when he spoke again.

"In my heart, there is nothing more valuable. It's just my gift for you." Victor smiled at her

lovingly and said, "You have to take it. You can just give me more money when you get the

bonus from the movie."

Staring at the heavy piece of paper in her hand, Mary responded, "Victor, I really don't know how to repay you for what you have done."

"Repay... You know what I want," said Victor

bitterly.

"Victor, Ena is a good girl. Since she—"

"Stop!" Victor interrupted her coldly. "No matter how good Ena is, I don't like her. Please just stop. Besides — "

"Victor," said Mary with a frown, "that's the

truth. You should understand that you are a good man, but I don't like you either! We can only be friends and we can't go any further than this."

Victor clenched his fists, but loosened them right away. "William... I have already accepted him." Upon saying these words, Mary found herself smiling and at ease.

Victor saw the way she smiled. It was different and full of love. She had never smiled at him that way. This made his heart feel desolate and grim. In fact, he knew he should have given up a long time ago.

Squeak! Meanwhile, a sports car suddenly came to a halt just outside the park.

"Ouch! I can't take it anymore! My stomach hurts!" The woman in the passenger's seat looked a little pale. Her forehead was beaded with cold sweat which made her hair stick on her forehead. Surprisingly, her face was just like Mary's.

"Boss," said Jazlyn, who did not know whether to laugh or cry at her boss's misfortune, "there must be something wrong with the ice cream you ate last night. There is a public toilet in the park. You should go now!"

"Bullshit! Cut the crap! It can't hurt at this time. Oh no! I need to go! Wait for me!" As soon as she said that, she got off the car while clutching her stomach.

"You asked me to come here this afternoon to talk about the contract signing," Mary reminded him coldly. "If there is nothing else, I'll go now. But Victor, we're still friends."

With that, Mary turned around and left in a hurry. Victor swallowed hard and his Adam's apple rolled up and down. He wanted to chase her and apologize, but his legs did not seem to work at the moment. The meeting was so short. He blew his opportunity up, and Mary left in less than three minutes. He wondered if he was indeed a failure.

'No, I'm not. I'll fight again, even for the last time.'

At the thought of this, he finally had the courage to chase after her, so he did. However, as he turned around the corner, he saw Mary coming back.

"Don't go." Without any hesitation, Victor pulled her into his arms and said painfully, "I don't want to give up. I don't want you to leave."

What happened?

The woman looked at Victor in confusion. When she saw him, her eyes lit up. It was a handsome man again, and he looked familiar! What kind of luck did she have recently? Handsome men threw themselves at her one by one! 'Are you going to be in love, Aisha? Ha ha!'

"Purr!"

"Ouch!" the woman exclaimed. While she was thinking, her stomach growled angrily. "Let go of me!"

"No way!" Victor shook his head and hugged her tighter. "I won't let you go anymore. But, if you insist on getting rid of me... I respect your choice."

What choice? What respect?

'My stomach is killing me. The most important thing for me right now is to find the restroom!'

The woman in Victor's arms pushed him again, harder than before. "I'm sorry!" Just like that, she left.

"Ha!" The force of her push sent Victor staggering backwards. As he watched her escape deliberately, his ability to think and discern was all burnt to ashes.

'In the end, you left without hesitation. I'm sorry, Mary. I hoped too much!'

Meanwhile, Mary left the park hurriedly.

Sitting on the driver's seat, Jazlyn caught a glimpse of Mary from the rearview mirror as she ran. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"Really? That woman looks exactly like boss!" With raised eyebrows, she rolled down the window and looked back at the woman. Mary left so quickly that Jazlyn only caught sight of her clothes.

'Did boss go to the bathroom and change her clothes to carry out a secret mission by herself? Unbelievable! Boss was in pain just now. It's impossible!' "Jazlyn, I can't hold it anymore!"

After a while, Aisha came back to the car. Her face was pale and she still seemed in pain. Undoubtedly, she looked just like Mary.

"Boss, how'd you get back so fast?" Jazlyn asked incredulously.

"Do I have to stay in the toilet longer?" The woman's face was pallid and beaded with sweat. She did not look and feel well. "Is it because I am not used to the climate here? I haven't been sick for several years. I trained hard, even while snowing and the temperature was freezing cold. How could I be defeated by a small ice cream?"

"Boss, let me buy you some medicine."

"Let's go! Hurry up!" The woman waved her hand weakly.

They went to the pharmacy immediately. A pharmacist saw Aisha's facial expression and noted, "It's not good to take medicine this way. It's probably acute enteritis. She needs the medicine to be injected! The nearest hospital is right in front of this pharmacy. You'd better hurry up and go there. Taking oral medicine doesn't work in her condition."

"Okay." Jazlyn hurriedly brought Aisha to the hospital.

They lined in the outpatient department to confirm her diagnosis. It was indeed acute enteritis.

If it had taken longer, Aisha would have lost her life. She turned to Jazlyn and ordered, "Get the infusion ready and take it to the car. I don't need a doctor and I hate hospitals. I'll wait for you in the car."

"Yes, boss!" Jazlyn nodded and took the prescription to get the medicine.

Unexpectedly, Lucas was on duty today. He did not have anything else to do so he just wandered around the hospital.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up when he saw someone familiar in queue for medicine. It was Jazlyn, the woman whom he had been looking for in the past few days!

She actually appeared in front of him again.

'I'll catch you today!'

Lucas snorted. With a nasty smile on his face, he quietly leaned towards Jazlyn, opened his arms, and shouted, "Jazlyn Xu, let me see how you will escape today!"

As soon as Jazlyn handed the prescription to the doctor, she sensed someone approaching her from behind. Instinctively, she narrowed her eyes, quickly turned around, and bent over. She took advantage of Lucas's unpreparedness and she attacked him by tripping his leg.

Lucas fell to the ground with a loud thud before his hand could even touch her.

Jazlyn stepped forward and gave him an armlock at his throat. She was about to ask who he was when she was surprised to see an acquaintance. "Why are you here? How come it's you?"

"Wrecked woman! Ahem! Let go of me!" Lucas shouted as she struggled to get rid of her grasp.

"No. 53, your medicine is ready."

Hearing this, Jazlyn immediately got up, grabbed the medicine, and ran out of the hospital.

"You... Stop!" Lucas shouted madly, ignoring the onlookers in the hall. He pushed through the crowd and chased after her. "Jazlyn Xu! Stop! You fucking stop! I said stop!"

Jazlyn got on the car and quickly started it. Within a few seconds, her car sped away.

"Jazlyn Xu!" Lucas did not even catch the car's tail. He just watched helplessly as she got away.

"What happened?" the woman in the passenger's seat asked. She heard someone shouting from behind just now.

"Nothing." Jazlyn panted slightly and handed over the medicine to Aisha. "Boss, here you go."

"Thanks."
