Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 160 - Gary's comeback

Lena lowered her head. No, it would not work out like that because Gary already told her that he does not want anything to do with the Yang family. He has no interest in the wars that these men are going through.

Lena really missed Gary... she would need to call him soon. She felt that something else was strange with how Drew Yang only got sick recently. A memory flashed through Lena's mind.

"How long ago did your dad first started to get sick?"

"Just a few weeks ago." Andy answered.

"He was at your engagement. He seemed healthy then."

"It was a few days after that, he just suddenly collapsed one morning. His body went weak. The doctor can't tell us exactly how a perfectly healthy body went numbed all of sudden."

Lena thought back to what Mike Zhao said about the poison. The poison would be effective a few weeks after used and the person would die in his/her sleep. But, Mike said that he had not sold it to anyone else, unless he did... or the medicine was not his in the first place. There must be an original distributor that was not Mike.

"Does your Uncle Sam hate your father at all?"

"No... he just recently got his eyes on the company when my grandfather told him about the whole next heir thing. He originally only joined back to the Yang family by freeloading off my dad's and our hard work. You should remember when he joined the family... he was way older than us and we always called him uncle and kept it like that. After all, he's not a direct bloodline of the men in the Yang family. "

People do horrible things for money and power. Look at Madam Yang, her whole life was dedicated to buildings her power and money. She thought that marrying into the Yang family will secure her power, but little did she knew that woman are nothing but breeding pigs for the Yang family.

Even the Li family think of women as just people to bore kids to continue the family line. An increase to the family power, and to have kids... that's all a woman was at the top of the pyramid. Lena was somewhat happy she does not need to deal with that.

Uncle Sam definitely does not like Madam Yang though, since the woman despised him since he joined the Yang family. There was no way that he could be helping her.

"Did you mom only know about the recent stuff on family heir?"

"We all did. Only my father knew beforehand. Why?"

"Nothing... I think I answered most of your question." Lena stood up from her seat. "I do have an advice for you though. Don't delay or cancel your engagement just yet... Find out all you need to know from her and then you can let her go. You can move on easier that way."

Lena walked out of the office and back to the elevator. She was still heavily thinking. Madam Yang did not know about any of the heir stuff until recently. She could only be the mastermind behind Gary's "death" and what happened to Drew Yang. If she got rid of her mistake, Gary, and her old husband, Drew, that means her Andy could easily have the Yang fortune to himself.

Her planned must have backfired when Drew did not die... and she realized her initial plan was not going to work. She must have evil luck since Drew did not die. With Gary already gone, her only next guarantee was a baby.

Lena exited the building and went to sit in her car. She dialed Gary's number.

"Hello?" Gary answered.

"Can I come to visit you on Sunday night?"

"Aren't you going to be with Kris?"

"Why would I be with him? He doesn't need me to hold his hands in everything he does."

"Heh... you're as evil as ever. Was that all?"

"No.." Lena needed to ask him one more time. "There is something else. Do you...still love me?" It felt weird saying the word love out of her mouth to Gary.

"That's such a random question." Gary responded. "You want me to answer you through the phone? It's not special then.."

"I know. But I need to know now."

"No, I don't." Gary answered her straight. "I realized I stopped loving a long time ago. I loved the Lena who bullied me non-stop, paid no mind to me, and fake cried all the time to get attention. I know that you have been more of a friend to me lately rather than a love interest."

Lena's mouth opened wide a bit. Not from the shock that Gary did not love her anymore, but because he had a weird fetish for the old Lena... And here Lena thought, no one really loves the old Lena but she guessed... only Gary was really meant for the old Lena.

Lena was happy that Gary realized that there was a change in Lena's personality, and that she was not completely a different person but different from the woman he loved. Gary continued to surprise her since his awakening. She guessed near-death experiences do really change people.

"Are you heartbroken? Don't start fake crying over the phone."

"I am not!" Lena yelled back. "Thanks... I was so not ready to reject a man who almost died. And Gary.."

"Hmmm."

"You're still the 3rd best man that I like the most."

"I know. See you Sunday night."

Gary hung up the phone. He looked at the man who was eavesdropping on his conversation the whole time.

"Are you not going to tell her you're making your star debut comeback in City A already?" The man joked.

"She doesn't need to know yet. I told you that already, Kris." Gary looked at Kris.

"I know. Finish your stuff so we can leave." Kris told Gary. Kris did not know why today he was on watch duty for the vegetable boy.

Gary opened the door of the room he exited from to take Lena's call. He walked inside to the large room.

Gary stared at the man who was lying in a large comfortable bed with many medical machines near him. Gary pulled a chair and sat down. The sick man had a large file in his hand and a tablet playing several CCTV videos to him.

"Mr. Yang, the evidence is crystal clear... your wife wants you dead." Gary spoke. He held up a syringe. "I can save you, but you need to do something about that wife of yours."
