Leon patiently waited for the woman to gain consciousness. He didn’t realize that he already slept off in the hospital room.After a while, Emily slowly opened her eyes and she screamed out loud due to her fear. Leon was immediately awakened by her screams. He went to her bed and tried to comfort her.“Help! Don’t come near me!” She was screaming as if she lost her mind. Those scenarios of her inside the room flashed back in her mind which made her frightened again.Leon tried to calm her down and his face was so worried. He felt so guilty that he wasn’t able to help the woman avoid these kinds of maltreatment. If he only doesn’t let him fall in just a single hit, Watt won’t probably take her to the villa.“Hey, it’s okay. Don’t worry, you are safe now. I am here, okay?” he consoled her.Her hands were still trembling but she tried to calm down. With the warmth of Leon’s arms, she felt safe again. She doesn’t want to be in that place again—never in her entire life.The woman got a gri
Meanwhile, in the lobby of the Wesley family, Lord Wesley was sitting with an angry face, because his granddaughter Emily was not home yet. He is already getting impatient and can’t wait any longer.“Where in the earth could that woman be?” he snorted. He had been waiting for the woman to come home but at this very moment, she was still outside.He decided that his granddaughter must marry the Bale family’s son, Watt. He knows that Watt came from a powerful and rich family. That’s why, he can secure Emily’s future once she gets married to Watt.“If she thinks that by staying out late, she can escape this marriage, then she was wrong! She is just making her fame destroyed. When that happens, the Bale family would not take her as their beloved son’s wife,” he was worried.If he only can manipulate his granddaughter’s mind to marry the man that he wants for her. However, it seems that Emily is hard to manipulate because she knows what she wants and what not. No one can impose on her wha
Taking a long breath, Lord Wesley tried to stay calm. He was the Lord of his family so he must know how to handle a situation like this.He cleared his throat and answered; “May I know why you want to take her with you? Did she do something wrong to your family?” he assured.It looks like Lord Bale is not buying it. He raised an eyebrow and glared at him. “Why don’t you just give her to me instead of asking another question? You are just wasting my time here!” he hissed.Lord Wesley was frightened. He looked at his butler who was also looking afraid. He clearly knows his position in the city. The Wesley family was only on tier-3 while the Bale family was the tier-1. They can’t afford to offend them because he knows they can’t fight against their family. If they would base their status, they are definitely very little compared to the Bale family.He gathered all his courage and tried his best to stand firm. “I apologize for the disrespect. The truth is, my granddaughter is not here ri
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Emily just accepted the whole examination and the doctor said, she was fine. She was relieved knowing that she was no longer in danger. It was all because of Leon if he had not come to the villa and rescued her, she might still be in Watt’s hands.“Again, I want to thank you for saving me and my daughter. I’m very grateful to you, Leon. I owe you a lot,” she sincerely thanked him once more.Leon smiled genuinely; “You don’t need to thank me multiple times. I just repay your kindness to me. I am sure someone you helped previously will do the same thing,” he reprimanded her.Emily chuckled and it looked like the doctor was right when he said that she was fine. She can smile now despite what happened to her. It was because of Leon who made her feel comfortable and what it feels like to be safe.“No, I will still thank you again and again even if you’ll get irritated with me. It really means a lot to me, Leon,” she insisted.Leon just laughs and lets her do wha
Everyone in the room was shocked. The man looks so fiercely. They have no idea that he is Leon’s butler who serves the Tarlose family—Leon’s real family. However, Leon asked his butler to treat him as a friend, not a young master. He doesn’t want Emily to know he is connected with the Tarlose family.“Who do you think you are acting arrogantly in our hospital?” Lord Wesley bravely stood up. The Wesley family owns the hospital where they are that’s why he knows he has the right to speak up.“The person you are threatening is my friend. Whoever tries to offend him will get through me first,” the butler warned.Lord Wesley laughed as if he heard a joke. He didn’t know the origin of this man but he was sure that he was nothing compared to him. In fact, Lord Wesley came to the hospital with his guardians. That’s why he was arrogant because he knew he had backup.“Don’t make me laugh, you, unknown man. I don’t know where on earth you came from. But one thing is for sure, you are just a nob
After the Lords left the ward, the guardians of the Tarlose family also left the hospital. The man instructed them to clean all the mess. They take away the injured guardians of the Wesley family.Emily was left with Leon and his butler. The woman is still confused and she is overwhelmed by the things that she had witnessed.Leon noticed that she looked uncomfortable. “Are you okay, Emily? Don’t be afraid because you are safe with us,” he assured.It was normal for a woman like Emily to feel anxious after all that happened to her. She is still recovering in the hospital yet another terrifying incident has happened again. She was not used to seeing people fighting and hurting physically. She’s in a very vulnerable state right now and Leon was aware of that.“Leon, who is this man? How did you become his friend?” she was curious. Leon looked at his butler with a meaningful gaze. This is what he was afraid of that’s why he asked his butler to refer to him as a friend and not a young ma
On the other hand, Lord Wesley was furious. He can’t accept that all his skilled guardians were beaten up forcing him to run away for his life. He has never been a coward like this before so it badly hurts his ego.“I won’t forget what they did to me! They just tainted the Wesley family’s reputation. Not only that, but we also offended the Bale family because of my stupid granddaughter,” he yelled with a gritted tooth.His remaining underling just bowed his head while he listened to him. He was responsible for staying at the Wesley family’s house so he was not included in the injured guardians.“I’m very sorry to hear that, Lord Wesley. If I only come with you to the hospital, I must have protected you,” he tried to console his master.However, Lord Wesley just laughed at what he said. It looks like he doesn’t want to buy it. “Stop joking around, will you? Even if you join me, I am sure you won’t win against those people. They aren’t normal humans, I guess,” he sneered.The man was em
As they are on their way to the villa, Emily is hoping that she made the right decision. As long as she can give her adopted daughter a good life, it doesn’t matter even though they won’t live with her family.Besides, her grandfather already abandoned her without hearing her explanation. It seemed that he could forget all their memories together and chose to chase her away because she made a mistake. Why is it so easy for him to do that? It was the question running in her mind. However, her thoughts were interrupted when her little daughter spoke.“Mommy, would it be fun to live in the villa? We forget my toys at home,” she asked with a long face.Emily was startled. She didn’t expect that he daughter would ask a question like this. She also doesn’t know what to expect by living in the villa.“Of course, it will be fun. Do you want us to buy new toys for you?” The butler is the one who answered. With that, Leon immediately thought of an idea.He was excited to tell the little girl.
