The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 1257

Gu Lichen lowered his eyes and stared at his right hand, which... had held that bloody knee back then. His fingertips had also been stained with her blood!

'That was... the blood she had shed for me...'

He had fallen in love with her, but why did he miss her again and again? He even missed her last cry for help from him!

'If... I hadn't mistaken her for someone else!

'And... if I hadn’t been blinded by jealousy...

'If Hua Lifang hadn't taken Yiran's place, I would've investigated more and verified things more carefully. Then everything might have been different! What a fool I was!

'If I at least had the heart to check the information carefully, I wouldn't have missed out on Yiran!'

At that moment, Gu Lichen felt nothing but a piercing pain that almost left him breathless.

Ling Yiran went to the firm the next day. She had not been back at the firm for several days now. Although she had asked for leave with Lawyer Gu, it was inappropriate to keep asking for leave.

Besides, she was now pregnant with triplets. She might not be able to complete a lot of work that followed. One usually could not carry triplets to full term, and they would be delivered early through C-section. Therefore, the remaining time she could work in the firm till her pregnancy was limited.

Ling Yiran looked at him gratefully at that. Lawyer Gu had been willing to give her a chance when she was having trouble finding a job, and now, he was even willing to keep her position on hold.

"Thank you, but it’s alright. After all, I still have a lot of things to take care of after delivering the babies. I'm afraid it'll be a long time before I can go back to work, even if I want to," said Ling Yiran.

"Okay then. You can contact me if you ever want to re-engage in legal work."

"Thank you..." Ling Yiran felt a sudden surge of nausea as she spoke. She quickly covered her mouth, made an apologetic gesture, and hurried off to the bathroom.

"Blaargh... Blaargh..." She vomited in the toilet for a long time before she was finally done, but her stomach felt somewhat empty.
