Louisa lay down feeling annoyed and all the parts of her body that felt sore and sore were right on the sofa right now. Henry followed her by sitting next to Louisa's head, and leaning his head on the sofa. Henry's left palm grabbed Louisa's head slowly and brought her onto his lap. Louisa immediately closed her eyelids and enjoyed the little massage on her head that Henry gave her there. They both felt really tired right now. Every emotion that the two of them felt could eventually be vented to Mr. George earlier. This is not an easy thing to do. Especially for Louisa. 'We can just only find that gun… it won't be enough to get Uncle George convicted and put him in jail. It won't be enough to do give Jane justice." Louisa muttered with her eyelids still there. "That's also not enough to do yourself justice either, Louisa." Henry answered with a mumble. Louisa immediately opened her eyelids quickly. She looked up at Henry who was still leaning her head on the sofa. Then a second later, Henry slightly lowered his head and returned Louisa's gaze over there. "That things alone also isn't enough for you either..." Henry mumbled again. "Why??" Louise whispered. Didn't understand what Henry was saying. Then Louisa got up from her lying position to sit there. Still looking at Henry with curious eyes. 'You need justice too, Louisa… for all the things that he did to you in the past. With all the manipulation and pressure he always puts... on you as well as on the Tomkins House company. Don't you want justice and freedom from all that??" Henry asked and held Louisa's right palm there. Louisa was stunned for a moment. She of course wanted to get all that freedom. She really feel wanted that things too. "Of course I really want that freedom, Henry. However, it would probably take a lot longer. Not easy to get all that from Uncle George. I've done it before, and look how Uncle George's presence always manages to make me feel so small. And I always feel like a failure." Louisa paused in her words and her eyes turned dark. "And look how Uncle George's presence took Jane's life..." 'We need to do it together… me and you." Louisa looked back at Henry who was speaking confidently there. Henry tried to give a small smile there. "We will do it together. Your freedom from Mr. George... and my freedom from my employment contract..." Henry tightened his grip on Louisa's hand even more. Hearing this, Louisa immediately felt very moved. Even tears started to appear in her eyes right now. Then a small smile appeared on her lips. Louisa quickly kissed Henry's lips there. Let Henry know what Louisa is feeling right now. Henry returned the kiss gently. They both closed their respective eyes. When Louisa let go of the kiss, she started whispering, 'We'll do it together…" It felt like a promise she had to say over and over again. And she believed in it. Of course. Henry chuckled a little looking at Louisa. Then quickly, Henry's big arms carried Louisa's body into his very tight embrace. Louisa buried her face right in Henry's chest there. And Louisa began to extend her two small arms to be able to return the tight hug that Henry gave her. I promise, Louisa. I will fight... together with you. I'll get justice and freedom together... and after that, I'm sure we can live happily together in the end. Henry's mind spoke. By tightening the hug that happened between the two of them there. *** 'Babe, I have to go to the agency just right now… there's something I need to discuss with my colleagues. To discuss Jane's things with all of them." Henry said when he got a call from one of his colleagues that night. Louisa, who was eating Henry's pancakes this afternoon, immediately raised her head and looked at Henry. "But, it's already very late... are you sure you have to go right now??" Louisa asked doubtfully. Henry nodded his head with absolute certainty. "Yes, this is the first time I'm reunited with my co-workers at the agency. My friend, and also Jane's friend. There won't be any problems. Maybe, I can also ask for their help to help us get more evidence for Jane..." Henry answered confidently. Then he immediately went to put on his black jacket. Louisa got up from her seat and approached Henry. "How long??" She asked. Louisa found it very hard to let Henry go to her agency. Especially for all the things that happened with all the discussions about the employment contract that Henry and Jane had. This made Louisa even more worried. And sadly, she couldn't hide anything about it at all. Henry paused and sighed. After he finished putting the jacket on his body, Henry started to cup Louisa's face by using his palms there. Stare with confidence and serenity. "Not for so long. It only takes about two to three days. After that, I'll be right back here. Don't worry.... nothing will happen to me. Calm down. After everything is done, I will tell you about the results later." replied Henry calmly. Full of promise. Louisa tried to return Henry's smile there with a small smile on her face. 'Okay… I'll be waiting for you…" The final answer that finally managed to escape Louisa's lips right then and there. Henry looked at Louisa gently, before finally giving Louisa a small kiss on the forehead and lips. "Then I'll go first. Okay?" Henry muttered. "Okay..." Henry released his two palms from Louisa, and started walking slowly out of the house. Louisa followed Henry's footsteps slowly. Louisa suppressed all the feelings that were starting to fill every part of her body at this very moment. And when Henry waved his right palm there, Louisa waved her right palm back in a stiff motion. But Louisa didn't want to restrain Henry too much. No longer. After that, Henry started to get into the car, and started driving it at a moderate speed. Leaving Louisa who started to stare blankly with an empty feeling. Even the palm of her right hand that had been waving before, was now starting to slowly decline. And Louisa began to lower her gaze, when one of the house guards started to slowly close the fence. She will feel very missed. And it was a feeling that even he wouldn't be able to completely avoid right now. Slowly, Louisa started to turn around and went back into the house. Locked the door, and fell silent while leaning against it. 'I don't even know why I'm so afraid of being at such a long distance from you, Henry… after everything that's happened right now, I'm starting to get more and more scared. Afraid that something might happen to you… and I might not be by your side." Louisa muttered. Louisa then took a deep breath. Now her appetite has disappeared. No longer feeling hungry with the pieces of pancake that were still left on the plate earlier. Louisa continued her steps to turn off the main light and went up to her room. Ready to sleep. But Louisa's steps again stopped right in front of Henry's room there. Then slowly, Louisa opened the door to Henry's room and went inside. When Louisa entered Henry's room, the first thing she did was take a deep breath. Henry's signature scent wafted through the room, and Louisa would never be able to lie, if she didn't enjoy Henry's scent. Louisa smiled faintly, and looked at a shirt lying on the bed. Henry's T-shirt. Louisa immediately closed the door to Henry's room there, and walked closer to the bed, then grabbed the shirt there. Holding the t-shirt tightly, and Louisa lay down on the bed hugging the t-shirt. And Louisa began to sleep soundly.
