Chapter 139

Leslie looked away without saying a word.

Linda poked at his chest. “Oh, my. So there is a time when your words fail you.”

“Mom, if you are going to mess around, I will leave,” he said with resignation.

“Don’t leave. Aurelia is really fragile right now. I can’t rest unless you are with her. Get in there.” She

shoved at him and he bumped into the door.

Inside the room, Aurelia sniffed and wiped her tears, before getting up.

When she opened the door, she was surprised by the person who came in. “Mr. Synder, why are you

here?”

“Given what is happening with your mother, should he come as her son–in–law?” Linda said and gave

Leslie a nudge toward the bed. “Why are you just standing there? Address your mother–in–law.”

Both Leslie and Aurelia fell into silence.

Despite the earlier sorrow she felt, Aurelia felt slightly amused, especially when she saw the hint of

shock on Leslie’s face.

She didn’t expect Leslie to let his emotions show.

Leslie raised an eyebrow and Aurelia immediately pursed her lips. “Mom, my mother hasn’t woken up

yet, so she won’t hear Mr. Synder. Let’s wait until she’s awake.”

“Alright.” Linda checked the time and urged, “It’s getting late. Both of you should go home. I’ve

arranged for a single room for Aurelia’s mom, so she can rest well.”

“Mom, it’s not necessary. Single rooms are expensive, and I …” Aurelia felt slightly embarrassed.

She couldn’t bring herself to mention that she was running out of money this month after the deduction

of points for performance.

Linda glanced at Leslie. Leslie reluctantly played along. “My mom has a connection, so we’ll get a

discount. Don’t worry.”

Linda’s mouth twitched. Her son was indeed something. After all, when did hospitals start offering

discounts?

Aurelia didn’t think much of it and assumed the hospital offered a cheaper rate.

“Mom, thank you.”

“It’s no trouble at all. The nurse will come to change the room later. There’s still a caretaker here to take

care of your mother. You can rest assured. You’ve been running around all day. It’s better to go back

and rest,” Linda said with concern.

“Yeah.” Aurelia nodded and started packing her mother’s belongings.

When the caretaker and nurses helped move the bed, Aurelia struggled to pick up seven or eight

plastic bags and two basins from the floor, causing her arms to ache instantly.

She gritted her teeth and walked out of the ward. At this moment, a figure appeared by her side.

Leslie silently took the things from her hands and then cornered her against the wall.

Aurelia was taken aback and realized that someone was holding a large basin of hot water from

behind.

If it weren’t for Leslie, she would have collided with someone else while carrying so many bags and it

would be disastrous for hot water to spill everywhere.

Slightly terrified, she said, “Thank you.”

Leslie responded with a nonchalant hum and added, “Focus.”

His warm breath caressed on Aurelia’s head. She couldn’t hear clearly what he said, but she felt an

itching sensation and a slight warmth in every place his breath touched.

Linda cleared her throat.

“How long are you two planning to stay like this? We still need to move the bed.”

The nurses and caretaker couldn’t help but laugh.

Aurelia blushed and slipped out of Leslie’s embrace. “I’ll help.”

She bowed her head to support the bed, not daring to look at Leslie.

Leslie was left speechless and his mother immediately joined in for some fun. “Oh? There’s finally

someone avoiding my handsome son, huh?” Linda teased. He remained silent.
