Chapter 197 - 197 197 Turning Around Where Are You

Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Turning Around, Where Are You Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Turning Around, Where Are You The crack appeared in the photograph, and the three faces suddenly became ironic.

“Ah! Uh-huh…” He clutched his head in pain, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, yet still forced himself to endure, waiting for this moment of agony to pass…

When Thomas Harrison walked in, he saw William Griffith curled up on the floor, his expression filled with pain.

“Boss!” He rushed over, helped William Griffith up, and couldn’t imagine that his always invincible boss would look like this today.

“Boss, what’s wrong with you? I’ll call an ambulance!”

As Thomas Harrison took out his cellphone to make the call, William Griffith stopped him: ”

No need to call…” Holding back the pain, he refused to let Thomas Harrison make the call.

Thomas Harrison couldn’t bear to watch William Griffith’s condition: “Boss!”

“I’ll be fine in a bit. Help me get the medicine from the cabinet.” William Griffith tried to look as composed as possible, not to be too miserable.

Thomas Harrison understood William Griffith’s character; once he made up his mind, nothing could change it.

“Yes, I’m on it.”

Thomas Harrison left the study with a heavy heart, leaving William Griffith alone.

As William Griffith lay on the floor, looking at the ceiling, he suddenly laughed, his laugh pale…

–

With the pain subsiding, William Griffith leaned against the sofa. A worried Thomas Harrison stood nearby: “Boss, it’s still best to go to the hospital. I can’t be at ease with you like this.”

“Just a bit stressed recently, it’s nothing. It’s an old problem.” After taking the painkiller, he felt much better and closed his eyes to rest.

Thomas Harrison hesitated, unsure if he should tell the old master and mistress about this.

As if sensing Thomas Harrison’s intention, William Griffith said sternly: “Don’t tell my grandparents, it’s not a big deal.”

Thomas Harrison bowed his head in silence and asked after a while, “How about Miss Turner?”

Miss Turner was the person who cared most about the boss. Shouldn’t she know about this? And if she knew, wouldn’t she care even more about the boss?

But uncharacteristically, William Griffith gave a negative answer.

“For the time being, don’t tell Cherish Turner anything about me.”

Thomas Harrison didn’t understand, but he didn’t dare to ask further. He could only agree.

–

For several days in a row, there had been no contact between William Griffith and Cherish Turner. Instead, William Griffith took the initiative to call Cherish Turner, but she never took the initiative to call him. Even when she did answer his calls, they talked about trivial things, their hearts distant from each other.

William Griffith felt guilty towards Cherish Turner, so he remained silent about some things she never brought up. Perhaps it was a good thing for her to be busy at a time like this.

Cherish Turner, on the other hand, was wholly devoted to her comic. She had always been favored by her professor, and her relationship with Tanigawa helped her become successful. She seemed to find her self-worth through her hectic schedule. However, her submission to a competition became embroiled in a plagiarism scandal.

It wasn’t for any reason other than the piece that used Tanigawa and William Griffith as models—it was found that there was an earlier published version predating Cherish Turner’s work. So the up-and-coming Haicheng comic artist Cherish Turner found herself in the plagiarism scandal that all artists abhor.

A Japanese-Chinese female comic artist named Soudou Nami published a Boys’ Love comic with character designs identical to those of Cherish Turner’s. Faced with this sudden development, the professor and students, except for Cherish Turner, took a serious stance. Yet, as Cherish Turner faced multiple accusations, she didn’t know how to refute them.

And when she turned around, she suddenly realized that no one was standing behind her, no one was willing to help her or believe in her, except for the cynical male protagonist of the comic—Tanigawa.
