Louisa stepped both legs unsteadily, the dizziness from the tension that occurred earlier and the wound that was still imprinted on her head really made Louisa feel helpless. She felt weak. But she kept on trying to be able to move her feet slowly to get back into her house. As for Henry, he started asking the guards in the house for help to keep watch in the area around the house, and yes, don't forget to ask for help from his teammates at the agency. Henry really didn't want an incident like this to happen again, especially Louisa looked even more shaken up.

After that, Henry started to approach the car again to check its condition, and the car was badly damaged, there needed to be some repairs that needed to be done urgently. But he decided to get the files that were still in the car first and help carry them into the house. When he entered the house, Henry saw Louisa who was currently sitting right near the dining table, even though her right hand was still shaking trying to get the drink in the glass and drink it slowly. Henry put the pile of files in his hands right on the living room table and began to approach Louisa.

"Miss, I will heat the food, then you can eat and drink the medicine..." Henry explained. His mind was so confused that he didn't know what else to say to Louisa at this time. But he still took his two feet to reheat the food he had cooked this morning.

As for Louisa, just put the glass of water she was drinking back on the table, and stared at Henry's back. The sea blue eyes that usually looked cold and flat started to soften. “Henry,” Louisa called in a low voice.

Henry turned around with a confused expression on his face. "Yes, Miss? Are you hurt? Do you need anything?” asked Henry who was getting ready to step closer to Louisa.

But Louisa shook her head slowly. "Not. I'm not hurt." Louisa was silent for a moment. "I just wanted to say thank you. Because you helped me."

Henry was silent. “Miss, you don't need to thank me. It has become the duty of my job. Now you just rest first, and when the food is all ready, I will wake you later."

Louisa no longer said anything and just nodded her head in a faint motion. Then she got up from her seat and walked to her room. Meanwhile, Henry returned to focus on his activities there. Even so, Henry's mind was still reminded of what the two of them had just gone through. Henry thought about how to make Louisa no longer feel depressed and shaken by the events that had just happened. But in the end, he just sighed and shook his head, trying to refocus.

“Louisa, are you okay? Henry has told me everything," said Mr. George from behind the phone call that Louisa got.

Louisa sighed, she was not happy with the attention given by Mr. George it to her. She felt uncomfortable and strange. But didn't say anything about her feelings. "I'm fine, Uncle. Everything is fine, no injuries or anything. Uncle just calm down, there's no need to worry," answered Louisa in a calm tone of voice.

"In that case, okay. I have to hang up this call, Uncle has something to do. Take good care of yourself, okay?” said Mr. George finally, and was answered with a mumble by Louisa, before finally hanging up the call.

Louisa turned off her cell phone and put it on the bed. She felt strange, of course. Everything that had happened recently seemed to have happened in succession, although she herself had absolutely no idea what the reason was behind it all. “If only I had known the reason, maybe I could have stopped and prevented all of this from happening. But... why only now? I mean, this terror that happened, really confused me. If they were after Tomkins House, they'd at least be terrorizing the first year I took over the company. But no, it's been five years since I've run Tomkins House and nothing like this has ever happened before. Why? What is the reason?" Louisa muttered as she tried to dig into her thoughts.

Louisa was startled by a knock on her bedroom door. “Miss Louisa, did you sleep?” Henry called behind the door to her room which was still closed there.

Louisa got up from the bed and opened the door to her room. "Oh my God!!" Louisa screamed instantly when she saw Henry's face which was changed to look like a clown. With a round nose and red color, and hair tied in little ties, and colorful clothes. Really surprised Louisa.

"Please Miss... do you want the right hand or the left hand?" Henry asked with a very wide smile on his face. Not at all affected by Louisa's surprised face at this time. He began to stretch out both his hands and show his two clenched palms there.

“W-what are you doing, Henry?” Louisa mumbled asking, because she was the one who was still very surprised by Henry's current appearance.

Henry's smile widened even more. "There is not any. I was just trying to cheer you up Miss. So hurry up and choose which hand you choose," Henry answered excitedly.

Louisa began to shift her gaze to Henry's palms in front of her. "Right hand," said Louisa at last.

And suddenly Henry opened the palm of his right hand which turned out to contain a folded piece of paper. "Now open it and read it," Henry replied as he brought his right hand closer to Louisa.

Louisa took the paper and started reading it slowly. “Flowers and cake?” Louisa looked confusedly at Henry.

As for Henry, he started to move his hands and suddenly a white tulip appeared from behind his arms. Louisa who saw this immediately rolled her eyes. "How could you do that?" asked Louisa in a mumbling voice. She was amazed and surprised.

Henry bared his teeth in that smile. "I've been able to do this since I was fifteen. This is Miss flower," replied Henry as he held out the flower towards Louisa.

Louisa accepted it with a faint smile on her face. "Thanks..." Louisa suddenly frowned slightly. "But how old are you now?" Louisa asked again when she realized that she didn't even know Henry's age at all.

Henry, who was still smiling, immediately narrowed his eyelids. “I am thirty years old, Miss. All right, let's go to the table. I've prepared everything, including the cake," Henry answered while allowing Louisa to walk first.

Louisa immediately walked ahead of Henry towards the dining table. She was suddenly silent in surprise, when she saw the dining table which was already full of various kinds of dishes. She didn't even pay much attention to what Henry cooked this morning, because it seemed Henry was back to cooking even more. As for Henry, he started to prepare a seat there. "Please have a seat, Miss," he said.

Louisa immediately sat down on the chair and placed the flower stalk she brought on the dining table. Henry immediately turned around the dining table, and took a medium-sized black box and placed it directly in front of Louisa. Without saying a word, Henry opened the black box and surprised Louisa. It turned out that in the box there was a chocolate cake with the words, 'Wish Come True'.

“This… you made this cake by yourself?” Louisa muttered, still not expecting that Henry could actually surprise her like this.

"Yes, Miss. I made it especially for you. I think, this could be something fun, so you can feel calmer. Especially with what happened this morning… so let me cut it,” Henry replied as he grabbed a knife and started to cut the cake into several pieces, then placed it on Louisa's plate. Before the end, Henry sat in another chair opposite Louisa.

As for Louisa, she started to slowly eat the cake a bit. Her eyes subconsciously began to well up with tears. It tasted... just like Mama's cakes. Louisa thought to remember the times when her late mother often made cakes like that on her birthday. And she, felt the pain and tightness right in her chest. Nostalgic feelings that make her want to cry instantly. While Henry, who had been watching Louisa there for a long time, continued to be silent with a small frown on his forehead. He wanted to ask about the taste of his homemade chocolate cake, however, seeing Louisa's facial expressions and body gestures like that, he hesitated to ask.

After taking five mouthfuls of the chocolate cake, Louisa was silent for a moment before finally slowly wiping the tears that almost fell from her right eye there. She lifted her head and tried to put a smile on her face, even though she knew her eyes might be puffy by now. Now Louisa and Henry were staring at each other. "Thank you for all of this, Henry ... this means a lot to me," said Louisa sincerely.

And that's when, a smile appeared on Henry's face for the umpteenth time. Likewise with Louisa who took a few mouthfuls of the chocolate cake again. While asking Henry to come eat the chocolate cake with her.
