Chapter 184 Chapter 184 Beyond Redemption "Alright, I'll get you untied right now." Leonard's eyes were red, and his hands trembled. It was a stark contrast to his earlier aggression.

Just then, someone yelled angrily from behind him.

While the bodyguard was distracted, the man he had kicked to the ground got up and charged at us with a shovel.

"Leonard, watch out!" I tried to get up, but it was too late. Leonard heldtightly in his embrace.

A loud thud resonated as the shovel collided with his head, and I noticed Leonard's eyes instantly redden. "Leonard, are you alright? Please don't scare me!" I tried hard to support his body, but he kept sliding down. "You bastard, how dare you hit my private part! Damn it!" the man continued to shout from behind.

The bodyguards subdued him, but I couldn't hear anything anymore. I could only watch as Leonard slowly closed his eyes.

Hearing the police sirens, I immediately shouted, "Over here! Someone is injured!' The police swiftly putand Leonard in the car and sped toward the hospital.

During the ride, the officers questioned me, but I responded mechanically. My eyes fixed on the unconscious Leonard. There was a large bump on the back of his head, and I knew that the situation was more serious than just bleeding. "Do you know who hired them?" one of the officers asked.

"It's Keenan. I heard them mention Mr. Green. Sir, I mean, officer, can you go a bit faster? H- His head is seriously injured. He..." My tears blurred my sight once more, and I felt completely incoherent.

Leonard savedonce more. It was always him who recklessly saveddespite the danger. Thinking about all the ups and downs we had experienced over the years madefeel like there was a tightness in my chest. Once at the hospital, he was swiftly taken into the operating room. I wanted to follow, but the police stopped me. Just then, an older officer in uniform saluted me, I noticed three chevrons on his upper arm, suggesting he was quite a high-ranking official. Everyone was polite to him Change 11 Beyond Redemption "Hello, I am GraCraw, the deputy director of the Department of Public Safety. I've received all of Leonard's documents," he said.

I nodded in confusion, not knowing how to respond.

"You're Eva, right? Go get yourself checked out first. We can talk after that." After a brief pause, he added, "Don't worry. We've got the best doctors here. Leonard will be fine." His calm tone carried an air of authority. I unconsciously nodded once more and followed the nurse for the examination.

I only had minor scrapes, but they still keptin the ward. Gracto my ward, followed by two officers.

He remarked, "Eva, I know about the situation with your family from a few years back. Leonard has been investigating it all along. He's really stubborn. If it weren't for his persistence..." Grathen shared a story I never expected.

After my dad's incident, Leonard had just returned to the Harmon family. At that time, Grawasn't yet the deputy director.

There was a major case back then. The criminal had three lives on his hands and eventually fled to the Harmon Group's headquarters. He took Graeme's son, who had just started working there, hostage.

Leonard bravely exchanged himself for Graeme's son and helped then police capture the criminal. That was how the connection between the two families began.

"He always believed there was something suspicious about your dad's death and kept investigating. Over the years, he handedall the evidence he collected. Just a couple of days ago, he sentmore evidence. In fact, the authorities have never stopped investigating them, but there wasn't enough evidence." "So, what now? What about Keenan, Jedidiah, and Danika..." My voice trembled as I stared intently at Graeme. He scoffed. "They are beyond redemption. The police have already taken action."
