Chapter 211 - I Feel At Ease When You Are Around
Vince was too worried watching Hailey keep vomiting on the washbasin even if nothing came out from her mouth.
"Wifey, I already asked someone to get you some water. Do you want me to bring you to the hospital?" He asked worriedly. He tried his best to comfort her to feel better. He still has no idea, but he only believes that Hailey felt sick seeing Liam bleeding.
Vincent handed Hailey a paper towel. After she washed her mouth, Hailey took the paper towel from Vincent and wiped her mouth. Vincent remained to rub her back, which made her feel better.
"Here is the water, Mr. Shen." A man from Brent's group brought them a bottle of water.
Vincent opens the cap and helps Hailey drink it. "Wifey, open your mouth."
Hailey followed what Vince had asked her. But, unfortunately, she still has no strength after she throws up. Vincent brought the bottle to her mouth, she gulped the water once it touched her lips, and she almost emptied the bottle.
"Do you feel better now?" he asked.
Hailey nodded and thanked Vincent. Then, she asked him to go back and check how Liam was.
"Are you sure you wanted to see him?" It worries him that she'll throw up again.
Hailey shook her head and said, "I'm fine now. I feel a lot better after I drink some water."
Vincent placed his right arm on her waist and led her back to the room where everything happened. Liam, at the moment, was given first aid by someone from Interpol that has advanced training at times like this.
Outside the private room are Matthew, Pitt, and Brent talking, discussing something they could tell was a serious matter.
"Brother Matt!" Hailey rushed toward him; Matt met her halfway.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Are you okay, Princess?" Matt asked; Hailey nodded at him. He smiled and patted her head.
He wanted to give Hailey a brotherly hug but seeing Vincent Shen standing just a meter away, the guy seemed to scrutinize him with such intent. He could tell that the guy is sending him a silent warning that he cannot make such gestures toward Hailey.
Matt parted his lips into a grin, and he whispered to Hailey. "I could sense how your boyfriend is roaring at me. I'm afraid that if I hug you now, he'll throw me out from this very floor."
Hailey giggled at Matt's hunch. She does not doubt that Vincent is behaving like that toward the men near her. She always remembered how bold he admits of how jealous he is if she smiled enormously at other men.
"That's my hubby, brother Matt. I knew he was a jealous man. So you have to take one step back away from me," she told Matt, that it made him laugh out loud. Although it may sound like a joke. But, Matt knows there is truth in that and so, he has to follow the advice.
"I knew someone was behaving like this. Well, I knew several men that overprotected and well-guarded their wives."
"Don't worry, brother Matt. This guy is pampering me a lot. So I don't mind if he is clingy all the time."
Matt laughs once again. Meanwhile, Vince's face was gone, flushing red. He could actually hear what Matt and Hailey have been talking about. And he would admit he's indeed sending warning stares to everyone that Hailey's side is his place, and he doesn't care if they were her knights.
Now that Liam was given first aid. The Interpol put him on a stretcher board as he could not walk.
"Princess, I would love to chat longer with you. However, I have to finish my job. I need to escort this man and hand him over to the U Continent Interpol."
"Is he not handed back to V Country and punished by the king?" she asked curiously. She knew that his uncle had been put in shame now. But she worried that Liam would only punish lightly. But what Matt replied made her feel relieved.
"He will face multiple charges soon, and the Interpol HQ gives us the go-to to imprison him in South Prison Island after he is convicted. All his crimes are under International Law. He has no way to escape from it."
"It would make me glad to hear that. He could harm more people. Today, he threatens to bomb this building. That could be a terrorism act, right?" Hailey asked Matt.
"You are right, Princess. It would add to his case. So, brace yourself, okay? You might have to expose yourself to the media." Matt glanced at Vincent. "Also, Vincent, as this is his property. So, we probably need your cooperation soon."
Hailey looks at Vincent with worry. He reaches her hand and squeezes her palm like he was telling him that he'll be by her side.
"Okay, brother Matt, I will file a case against Liam. He harmed my friends and several families still mourning because of what he did."
Since she wants to end her connection to Liam, she must end it altogether. Putting Liam behind bars is the extreme act they must do. Or else, he could harm not only her friends and family but even innocent people.
This time, Matt didn't care if he'll hug Hailey in front of Vincent. He witnessed everything since the beginning. Liam threatens this girl to follow everything he says, including his demands. He wanted to arrest him sooner, but he had to stay still and waited for the right time to show up. And after Hailey bravely shot Liam, it was the signal to arrest him.
"I'm so proud of you," said Matt to her before he left.

Now that Liam was apprehended, Vince and Hailey went to her office. Upon stepping inside her office, Hailey suddenly hugs Vince too tight. And once again, she let her tears flood her eyes.
This time, it was tears of happiness. Finally, finally, Liam could not harm Vincent anymore.
On the other hand, Vincent hugged her back. Then, he quickly wrapped her body with both of his arms and let her cry.
He plans to beat up Liam Huo to avenge her. That guy made her suffer a lot through the years. She suffers deep inside, but she only hides it on the surface.
"He will no longer be a threat to you or able to harm your friends," Vince whispered in her ear.
His comforting words brought ease to what she is feeling, which she is only hiding all this time. Later on, Hailey parted a little from Vince as she remained to hold his waist tight. She stared at him lovingly as she opened her mouth.
"Most of all, he could no longer harm my lover," she told Vince.
Vincent lowered his head and claimed her mouth. He kissed her gently until the kiss deepened like there is no tomorrow. She missed him so badly.

"I know I must and I will, President Davies. However, I remember that I just made an appointment with you an hour ago. What do you think?"
They were already in a relationship for a while now. But still, Vince could always make her heart flutters, and her cheeks turn scarlet red.
Suddenly, their last conversation on the phone flashes in her head. Now, her pinkish cheek turns crimson red from blushing.
"Hubby… Now I understand why you are so cheeky, challenging me that you'll come to my office in an instant."
Her office filled with Vince's laughter in the next seconds. The people that were about to knock on her door froze outside after they heard them flirting.
"Wifey, I will always fulfill my promise to you," said Vince in a teasing tone.
"Oh… Then, would you strip for me now?" And her voice is so seductive in his ears.
An excitement flashes in Vincent's eyes at how she acted naughtily. He was worried sick after seeing her upset, then crying and vomiting after she shot Liam.
Now she was in the mood to seduce him!
Vince curled his lips into a smile. "Miss Davies… Are you sure to make me strip right here?"
"Can we negotiate about that first?"
She bites her lower lip that made Vince swallowed. She changed her mind, but she still seducing him the way she acted in front of him!
Vince shook his head and laughed. "Wifey… you made me so worried a while back. I'm happy to see the Hailey Hillson I know."
Hailey leans her head on Vince's chest. She uttered, "Because I feel at ease when you are around. I could sense security just hearing your voice. Hubby, I'm sorry if I didn't tell you about Liam."
Vincent nudged his head on top of hers and replied, "I made you promise me that you will tell everything about Hailee Davies when I just back from Las Vegas so it's partly my fault."
