After she finished speaking, she leaned in close to Heriberto’s ear again and paused for a few seconds.
Heriberto’s eyelashes, fluttered a little again, and his eyelids twitched
too.
A few seconds later, Iris slowly straightened up, gave a slight smile to Heriberto, who still had his eyes closed and seemed unresponsive, and said, “I’m leaving, take care of yourself.“–
When she finished talking, she turned around and left without any hesitation.
Everett watched her leave like that. He only stayed for a little over a minute, not even two, and got anxious.
So, when Iris came out and was about to leave, he just rushed over and blocked her way.
“It’s only been a few minutes, and you’re leaving?”
Iris curled her lips at him without meaning anything, “Didn’t you all think I was some kind of fairy, that I could just blow a few breaths at Heriberto and bring him back to life?”
Everett,
“You got me mad, so now I had to go.”
After she finished speaking, Iris strode past Everett and left without a hint of hesitation.

Everett wanted to stop her, but Laurel stopped him. He could only watch Iris leave. When Iris and Laurel got into the elevator and the doors closed, and Iris disappeared, there was a nurse’s excited scream from the ICU.
“Ah, Mr. Hale woke up, Mr. Hale woke up!”
“Doctor, doctor! Get the doctor here, quick.”
Everett heard the sound, his eyes went wide in shock, and he just froze.
“Fuck!”
The next second, he realized what was happening and ran toward the ICU.

Two years later.
Ardiham, the headquarters of the Hale Group office building.
It was already past office hours, but the lights in the CEO’s office on the top floor were still on.
Ever since two years ago, when Heriberto took a bullet for Iris, almost died and then woke up and recovered, he was like a different person.
He never mentioned Iris again.
I didn’t pay attention to anything about Iris anymo
I never went to look for Iris again.
In his life, there was only work.
Worked during the day, worked at night, ate, slept, and exercised

every day. All his time was filled with work.
In two years, the Hale Group kept expanding, and its assets were already showing signs of doubling.
People from the president’s office stayed late working overtime with Heriberto every night.
But not a single person complained.
Because the overtime benefits and bonuses Heriberto offered were just too tempting.
As the saying went, people died for money, birds died for food.
As long as the money was right, not to mention just working overtime, I’d even go to war with the boss if needed.
Today was Friday, and as always, everyone in the President’s Office was working overtime with Heriberto.
At 7 in the evening, a regular showed up at the president’s office all of a sudden, Everett.
In the past two years, except for Everett, Heriberto hardly had any extra contact with anyone else, even including his parents, Charlie and Megan.
As for Everett, his childhood friend, they actually got along better and better, and the two of them could talk more and more.
“Mr. Alpinus, you came!”
