Chapter 1667: 1667. Even someone who is unwilling to move a finger
How unfortunate that the thing they feared most came to pass, the couple instantly collapsed on the ground, their faces ashen.
The houses in this community aren’t cheap. They dared to rent here back then because the Hall Clan allowed them to earn a significant amount of money. In a year or two, they might even be able to buy this house.
But now, with the job at the Hall Clan gone, how could he afford to rent this place?
The money previously used to search for a job would also be wasted.
Harry Hall remembered this man was an employee of the Hall Clan because one time at the company, he overheard the man boasting to his colleagues about living here.
Perhaps to show off, he even gave the colleague his apartment number, saying he wanted to invite them over to play.
At the time, Harry noticed the apartment number and realized it was right across from Helen’s place, prompting him to pay attention.
Unexpectedly, this scoundrel actually had the audacity to covet his woman.
Thinking that such a despicable person had been living on the same floor as Helen for so long made Harry shudder.
If the man’s lust had gotten the better of him and he did something to Helen, and Harry couldn’t reach in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He resolved in his heart that no matter the asking price upon his return, he would buy that apartment.
As for the follow-up matters, Harry Hall didn’t need to stay and handle them. He directly called one of his legal advisors to accompany the officer back to the Police Station to settle the aftermath.
Then, pushing Helen Melendy’s wheelchair, he proceeded upstairs.
Along the way, Helen did not speak. Both Harry Hall and Elly Campbell thought she was startled by the previous incident, and neither spoke up first until they returned to Helen’s home. It was only then Harry knelt in front of her, his eyes gentle, and asked:
"What’s wrong? Were you scared by what happened just now?"
Harry Hall’s voice brought Helen suddenly back to reality, and her gaze fell into his gentle eyes like water.
On the way back, Helen’s mind was filled with Harry Hall’s words, "I can’t bear to even move a finger of hers," causing her heart to ache inexplicably.
Recalling his ruthless demeanor when removing that scoundrel’s arm was also very different from the aloof gentleman she remembered.
In fact, she had never imagined that someone as forever cold and noble as Harry Hall would resort to violence.
When she first woke up in the hospital and learned she had lost her memory, she wasn’t very attached to the past nine years.
Not being someone who dwells on the past, she thought that since that memory was gone, it was simply gone.
She and Harry Hall were never the same type of people. They initially got together out of passion, and now having forgotten that feeling, breaking up seemed more fitting.
She kept telling herself this and had been persuading Harry to see it the same way.
But at that moment, when she heard him say to those scoundrels, "The girl I pursued for nine years who isn’t willing to agree to marry me," the grievance mixed within his anger made her suddenly realize that she might have never really considered Harry Hall’s feelings.
She just felt that her affection for Harry Hall wasn’t that deep, so they should break up.
But what about Harry?
If his feelings for her were profound, and he did nothing wrong, but she forced him to let go just because she lost that part of her memory, wouldn’t that be unfair to him?
Yet, if she didn’t break up with him and continued to marry him, becoming his wife, letting everyone joke about the dignified head of the Hall Clan marrying someone who couldn’t walk, would that be fair to him?
