On the other hand, the little girl chose to wipe her hears and remain strong. When she feels that she already cried enough and has vented out all of her frustration, she decides to go out to the restroom. She went back to their classroom because she was planning to get along with her classmates. That is what her mom told her and she needs to obey it even though it was against her own will.It was already their break time when she came back to their classroom. Her teacher didn’t even bother to look for her when she was still inside the restroom. She can’t leave her favorite students because she is gaining a lot of incentives from their rich parents.“Hey, what do you have for a snack? Did your mom have time to prepare it for you? I bet she was busy flirting with her lovers,” the same student who embarrassed her in front of the class earlier came to her again.This time she wants to bully her for not having a good snack unlike most of them. However, she was wrong because Sarah took out
The parents were scared all of a sudden. However, at this time, a luxurious car arrives at the school. A man with a bulked body went down. The arrogant woman runs to the man.“Honey, I’m glad you came. You should know what happened to me and our little princess. Also, that man wanted to threaten us!” she pointed at Leon.The man’s jaw tightened. He came to Leon and held his collar. “Who do you think you are? A rat wanted to act cool, huh?” he sneered.Leon tried to remove his hand from his collar but the man was stronger than him. Emily was startled. She came to Leon. “Please, let him go. He didn’t do anything wrong,” she begged the man.However, the man seemed deaf, He doesn’t have any plan to listen to anyone. Not even his wife can stop him in this kind of situation. “Get out of my way!” The man hit the woman and she fell to the ground. Her adopted daughter starts crying.When Leon saw the woman lying on the ground, his eyes sparks. The power within him has activated again. “How da
Leon called his butler. He asked him to settle his issue with the school. In the end, the principal agreed to accept the payment for the damages. Leon promised her to pay $100,000 for her silence.As long as they won’t expel the little girl from school. Leon doesn’t mind paying any amount. Speaking of the little girl, Leon brought her and Emily to the hospital. The woman was also injured and the little girl wanted to watch over her mom.“How is she, doc?” Leon looks so worried about the woman. He is blaming himself because Emily was injured due to her courage to protect him from that bulky man.“Yes, Ms. Wesley is fine now. She just needs to take a rest,” the doctor informed him. He thanked him and the doctor left.Leon was relieved. He stared at the woman who was peacefully sleeping. She looks so pale and stressed out. It was very far from her face when the first time he saw her.At this time, the door was kicked open. A furious man came to the ward. “What is this all about? My staff
When Leon came back from the villa, he looked so terrible. He was not able to greet everyone like he usually does.The butler noticed that he was in agony, so he came to him and asked: “What’s wrong? I thought you went to the hospital?” he was confused.Leon was baffled. “Oh, you’re back. Have you settled the issue with the school?” he asked instead of answering his question.“Yes, I did. There is no problem that money can’t solve. Those school officials are all greedy as expected,” he sneered.Leon nodded. “I see, that’s good for us then. However, I don’t know if our efforts will be worth it. Sarah might not come back to that school again,” he replied with a sad voice.The butler was shocked and confused and the same time. “What do you mean? Did something happen when you were at the hospital?” he frowned.With a deep sigh, Leon replied: “I think Emily was overwhelmed about all the things that happened that’s why her mind is still confused. I decided to give her time to think,” he inf
Leon sat at his desk, eyes glued to the computer screen as he typed furiously, racing against the clock to finish the report before lunch break. But all of a sudden, his hands flew to his chest due to a sharp, stabbing pain. He clutched at his chest as his body was shaking due to a fit of violent coughing. He grabbed his handkerchief, bringing it to his mouth to stifle the noise, not wanting to disturb the others. When he pulled it away, Leon spotted stains of blood on the handkerchief. "Shit!" He muttered under his breath, feeling a wave of dizziness.The next moment, he stumbled out of his cubicle, making a beeline for the washroom. Once inside, he splashed cold water on his face, trying to steady his shaking hands. Leon lifted his head and found a pale face staring back at him, eyes sunken with fatigue."I just have to get through the day…" He whispered to the reflection, giving himself some sort of motivation.Leon cleaned himself up as best he could and made his way back to
Leon knew that saying anything further would be totally futile, and if he dared to argue, it would only escalate the matter further.Because the fact of the matter was that Mr. Cooper, his manager, was a tyrant and a bully. So, any plea that Leon made was only going to fall on deaf ears. However, he could not force himself to walk towards his desk, his legs refused to cooperate with him. This is when the doctor’s words echoed in his mind, urging him to get to the clinic as soon as possible… "The results indicate that you have lung cancer… in the advanced stages… you may not have much time left… at most, three months…"He couldn't accept this, and so, gathering every ounce of courage left in his body, Leon stepped forward just as Mr. Cooper was about to enter his office."Mr. Cooper! Please don't take this the wrong way, but I really need to be somewhere urgently." Leon began to speak, and despite the fear in his heart, he didn't stop until he had completed what he wanted to say. "
On seeing her husband standing at the door, Addie's expression shifted slightly, and a hint of guilt, or perhaps realization flickering in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by intense irritation. She didn't get up from her place or make any move to explain herself, but she simply glanced at him with a mixture of impatience and exasperation, as if his presence was the real problem. But Addie was not the one to break the silence in the room."You freeloading jerk!" The man who had come out of the bathroom, wearing only a bath towel, was none other than Leon’s boss, Mr. Cooper. For a second, Cooper seemed shocked to see Leon standing in the doorway. But then his expression quickly transformed into one of anger and arrogance, as he shouted;"You just can't stop slacking, can you, Jenkins? What the hell are you doing here in the middle of the day?" Mr. Cooper barked, without even an ounce of self awareness. "You’re supposed to be at work, completing your reports and not sneaking
Leon stumbled out of the house without even registering his surroundings properly. He didn't want to think about anything right now, because if he started to think about how shitty this day was, he might never stop spiraling.He flagged down a taxi and gave the driver the address of the hospital. By now, the bleeding from his wound had stopped, but there was definitely a dull ache at the back of his head. He rushed inside the hospital, greeted by the sterile smell of disinfectant as rushed towards the doctor’s office. Dr. Walter greeted him with a concerned look as Leon walked in.“Oh, Mr. Jenkins, please have a seat. It’s good that you were able to come today.” Dr. Walter began to speak again as Leon sat down on the chair, his voice steady but serious. “Here are your test reports.” He handed Leon a thick envelope and continued, “Look, Mr. Jenkins, I'll be completely honest with you. If you can afford it, I would highly recommend that you get the surgery. Otherwise, you might no
