Trust Me

Gerald took Lilly to her parent's grave, then they visit their memorial.

Lilly cried her heart out.

" Mom, Dad, it's all my fault, had I listened to you, I wouldn't have ended up like this, you would have been alive. I-I- *sob* I hate myself" said Lilly.

Gerald was looking at her from afar.

'She must be hurt, I know this feeling very well. Should I comfort her?' thought Gerald.

He was lost in thoughts when Lilly came and told him...

"Mr.Gerald, I want to learn further business, I want to be the best, like my dad, I want to handle my father's company. Please take care of me till then. I promise to repay you the kindness in future" said Lilly in a determined tone.

"My girl doesn't need to repay me. I can do anything for the ones I love and you, are the most important person of all to me. I know this sounds strange... but I feel in love with you. When I took care of you, I got to know many things about you. You really are a brave girl." Said Gerald and patted her head.

"Y-Yo-You love me? Mr.Gerald, you are pretty good at joking" Lilly giggled.

"I am not joking" said Gerald.

He held her hand and said to her parents at their memorial "Mr. and Mrs. Su, Please allow me to take care of your precious treasure, your treasure is now my treasure and I promise to take care of her, no matter what, I will never doubt her abilities and would always do what's best for her."

Meanwhile... Lilly took a glance of Gerald's face.

'He is so kind, He looks really handsome and he has a gentle look on his face. He gives me a feeling of warmness. As if I can trust him. Why do I want to trust in a stranger this much, He also claims to be my fiancé. I should trust him since my parents left me to him' she thought.

Gerald turned to Lilly and said, "I really love you, Lilly, trust me."

After that, Gerald took her to home.

They both went to discuss the plans further.

"Lilly, I have checked that you have completed your graduation by the age of fifteen and you were a prodigy. This means you have to give exams and get further degrees. You have to be the best." Said Gerald

'I wonder how this spoiled kid turned out to be a prodigy.'thought Gerald.

"Mr.Harisson, I prepared for the degree exams since childhood. My parents made me do so, I didn't really know at that time but now, I am benefitted by all that. I didn't fall behind the people of my age group even after being in a vegetative state for so long. I only need to revise a bit accounts and business. Also, can I accompany you to the company tommorow, I know a lot since I used to accompany dad very often." Said Lilly.

"Suit yourself" said Gerald.

'Okay girl, I admit you are good, I underestimated you. I will back you up. Although, you have grown up, you are still 15 at heart.' Thought Gerald.

"Ah! You can accompany me tommorow, I have an important surgery to do at the hospital tommorow. Do you even know how hard was it for me to run your company and handle my medicine courses side by side. I had to run two companies and a hospital, you have to share the workload now." Said Gerald in a teasing tone.

"Oh! Okay!" said Lilly.

"Ah! You silly girl, you are never a burden to me you fool, I was joking. Handling all those things were easy since I had my family taking care of my business and hospital, also, tommorow, I'll take you to meet my family. You just have to be yourself and remember, don't panick. Rest well for today" Said Gerald and left the room.
