Chapter 231
Leah froze on the spot. She would be dead meat if she were discovered now.
Kennedy spun his head around but he saw no one behind him.
However, he still hung up. and he was now cautiously scanning his surrounding.
Suddenly, a cat sprung out of nowhere and caught his attention. He looked like he was slightly letting
his guard down after realizing his suspicion might stem from some overthinking.
Leah continued to hide behind the tree. Only when the sound of footsteps had faded that she quickly
sped back to her room. She also locked the door.
She crumbled onto the floor as a realization dawned on her. The moment Ron lost power, his nemesis
and underlings were equally unsettling as they all began to make their moves.
Kennedy had already betrayed them.
She suspected that he would not be the only one to do that.
Leah wiped off the cold sweat on her forehead and got up with much difficulty. She needed to go to the
hospital now. She had to watch over Ron.
“George, where are you now?"
Leah called George.
She chose to believe George based on her intuition. She felt that he would never betray Ron.
“Ms. White, what’s wrong? Did Kennedy provoke you?” George had come to the hospital alone
because he was worried about Ron. Therefore, he asked Kennedy to see Leah.
Leah wanted to ask him to come to bring her to the hospital, but at the last moment, she changed her
mind.
Ron was still in a coma. It was not wise to leave him alone and unguarded.
“It’s nothing. Please watch Ron carefully. Don’t even leave liis war'd."
After reminding Georgy. Leah rushed downstairs after quickly changing into a new set of clothes.
“Ms. White, where are you going?”
Kenney stood in her way, and he had a relaxed expression on his face.
“My stomach feels a little funny. Bring me to the hospital.” Leah tossed the car key to Kennedy.
Kennedy was still figuring out how to get to the hospital without arousing suspicion, and to his pleasant
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsurprise. Leah had offered him a chance to do that.
He graciously opened the car door and said. "Ms. White, watch your steps."
Leah thanked him before settling into the backseat.
The car rolled to a stop in front of the hospital. Leah was rummaging around the backseat.
"This is weird. I am sure that I’ve brought it.”
“What are you looking for. Ms. White?”
Leah saw that she had gotten Kennedy's interest, so she continued, "It’s an amulet that belongs to your
boss. It’s one that I’ve gotten with him last time. I am pretty sure that I've brought it with me before
departing."
There was a disdainfill look on Kennedy’s face. He was just feeling amused. What good could an
amulet do when Ron was practically on death's door?'
Leah was talking to herself. "Could I have forgotten about it in my room? Can you go back and get it for
me? It should be on my dressing table. It’s in a red purse.”
Leah was able to divert Kennedy away as she had planned. She quickly ran to the ward.
When she laid eyes on Ron who was lying on the bed motionless, she let out a sigh of relief.
George was staring at her with a questioning look. He asked, "Ms. White, why are you here?”
Leah shut the door of the ward and sat on the sofa. She was examining George carefully.
George looked away with an unnatural look on his face. He even blushed a little as this was the first
time that he received such an intense gaze from a woman.
“Ms. White, if you have something to say to me. just say it.”
“Ron has been in such a forlorn state now. You can leave whenever you want.”
She would not know whether Ron would come to her consciousness anytime soon. On top of that, she
wondered if he would be liis old self ever again after waking up.
For an underling, it would be wise to venture out and look for other opportunities since their future was
now uncertain.
George raised his eyebrows and his tone tinned vehement. “Ms. White, what are you trying to say?"
Ever since Ron was met with this mishap, many who used to follow him chose to leave him. However,
there were still those who chose to be loyal to him and stay behind to protect him.
“I mean what I said. You are free to go as you please."
As she said that, she produced a card from her purse and put it on the table.
“There’s three hundred thousand in there. This is my parting gift for you.”
Leah was paying close attention to George’s expression. She was not particularly close with George,
so she had to test him no matter what, just in case...
If he chose to accept her offer of money, that would mean that he was not someone reliable.
George walked over and took that card, but he immediately threw it into the dustbin. He had a
determined look on his face. “I will never leave my boss.”
When Leah heard this coming from his mouth, she felt that something that weighed her down was now
gone. There were people around Ron who could be trusted too.
She said gently, "Thank you. George.”
Only then George realized that she was just testing his loyalty.
While he was still baffled by what she was doing. Leah began solemnly, “Kennedy has turned on us. I
heard that he is planning to kill Ron and offer him as a tribute."
George was stricken with shock. "How can that be?”
“It’s tine." Leah did not want to believe what she had just said too. She could never predict what was at
the bottom of a human’s heart.
Humans were always selfish. There were no exceptions.
George did not believe Leah’s words. He felt that they needed to look into this more.
Leah could not leave Ron alone, fearing that an assassin would come to take his life when she did not
pay attention. She decided to just stay and live here. She could take care of him around the clock too.
News of her moving into the ward spread to Han’s ears very soon.
Ben was drooping liis head, unable to see him in liis eyes. He felt a chilling avalanche sweeping across
his skin.
He regretted coming here to submit documents at such timing.
He was practically standing in front of the lion's den.
“Are you saying that I need to deal with such trivial matters now?" Han loosened his tie. and his eyes
were a world of snow.
“I am sony, Mr. Howard.”
Ben quickly gathered the documents on his desk and sped out of his office without even looking back.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the ward, Serena was raising a mirror in front of Leah, "Cindy, look at your eye bags. They are so
huge that you can shove some treasures in there now.”
Leah did not have much sleep since she needed to take care of Ron for the past few days.
George did not show up in the ward anymore ever since he said that he was going to look into the
matter regarding Kennedy.
"I am fine. I can still do this.”
As Leah argued, she let out a yawn. She could not hide her fatigue from showing.
"Did this guy save you before? Why are you caring for him to such an extent?"
Serena was scrutinizing the patient on the bed. He had his eyes closed, and his skin was drained of
color. However, that did not stop his handsomeness from shining through.
"You should go back now. Just bring me some new set of clothes when you come next time.”
Serena could only stomp her feet helplessly upon seeing Leah’s determination. She then left the ward.
There were only Leah and Ron in the ward now. She leaned on the sofa, and lightly closed her eyes.
There were some footsteps all of a sudden.
“Why did you come back?”
Leah did not open her eyes as she thought that it was Serena who had returned for some reason.
“So this is how you are taking care of yourself these days?”
Han was staring down at Leah. He could hardly believe that this was the same person from a few days
ago. with how exhausted she appeared to be.
Leah opened her eyes abruptly, and the sight of Han’s face filled her field of vision.
“It’s none of your business.”
She got up from the sofa to put some distance between them. She was very aloof.
“You are not helping him at all.”
Before he came here, he had investigated Ron.
His accident had always been a meticulous conspiracy. Those people were not going to let him oft the
hook just yet.
Not only would she not be of any help by being here, she might even bring harm to herself.
Leah had a cold expression as she retorted. "So what?”
Han did not know that she had no other way other than guarding Ron with her life.
“Go back with me.”
Han reached out and held Leah's hand. He had a wonted look playing on his face.
