Chapter 1283 Operation
Meeting the same Pompeii people in another country made Leo feel pleased, so Leo told Christ roughly what had happened before and after he arrived in Toyo.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Christ was shocked to hear that. His brows knitted as he sighed, sympathising deeply with Leo’s wife and daughter for their injuries.
He pondered for a moment, took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Leo, “Leo, you can call me if you need help in the future! I’ll step in and set things right for you!”
“Thank you! Christ.”
Leo took Christ’s business card with both hands, and under the illumination of the moonlight, he saw that the card read “Regal International Investment Management Limited, Chairman, Christ.”
Christ then shook hands with Oda Ivy and said with a smile, “Miss Oda, please take care of my friend Leo, thank you!”
Oda Ivy shook Christ’s hand with both hands and said flattered, “Sure, I will!”
Christ laughed out loud and added, “Leo, I’ll go back first, call me when you need help!”
“Okay! Thank you, Christ, take care!”
“You’re welcome!”
After saying that, Christ took his bodyguards back on the speedboat.
As Oda Ivy watched their departing backs, she let out a long sigh of relief and smiled at Leo, “Commander of Wyverns, I am admiring you more and more now, even such a big boss of Toyo has come to your aid, it really surprised me”
“Let’s back, it’s time to rest, I apologise to you for giving you a fright tonight!”
Leo said as he ruffled his tousled hair.
“No thanks, but you can buy me a late dinner tonight, let’s go.”
Oda Ivy took Leo’s arm and said with smile, “Don’t get rid of my hand, it seems that friends can hold hands, it’s not like kissing.”
Leo was speechless, but he was not in the mood for a late dinner, so he let out a bitter smile, “Let’s eat another day. Tomorrow my wife will have an operation, I don’t have any appetite.”
“Oh, I forgot about that, okay then.”
Oda Ivy suddenly had a sour nose and asked in a jealous tone, “By the way, what the hell is Harriet? Is she pretty? It feels like she and you are not normal! Is she your mistress?”
Leo laughed bitterly, so he said flirtatiously, “How can I have a mistress? Do you think I have nothing to do?”
Oda Ivy’s gaze glistened as she said in a whisper, “If you don’t mind, you can be my mistress, I have the financial power now.”
Leo, “…”
Leo knew that Oda Ivy was fond of him, but he couldn’t bear to hurt her because his own wife and daughter were being treated in her hospital.
It’s easy to hurt someone! It’s just a matter of a few words, but it makes the other person suffer for the rest of their life.
Leo could only choose to politely refuse this time, instead of rejecting Queen Alyssa and Ariella in a few words, as he had done last time.
When Oda Ivy saw that Leo didn’t say anything, she became more and more proud as she added, “Then we have a baby, I’ll send the baby to a foreign noble school to study, this will be the fruit of our love.”
Leo pretended not to hear that.
He said in his heart, “If I were that casual, I’d have a lot of children out there.
Leo didn’t want to answer Oda Ivy’s words, he said to himself, “Would I give you a chance?”
Never!
However, he was deeply troubled inside that he had again unintentionally created Oda Ivy as a clay man who could not withstand the wind and rain.
Perhaps there were many more of these clay men waiting for Leo, and who would be next? It feels like he is Nuwa now, just desperately trying to make a female clay figure and forgetting to make a male clay figure for her.
What a sin!
…
The next morning, it was sunny outside, not too hot, not too cold, and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.
Today was for Lydia’s surgery, and Leo and Cecil were waiting at the entrance of the intensive care unit.
Leo’s eyebrows were knitted together, his mood apprehensive, his body and mind heavy.
Cecil was also sullen.
The operating table was in a room inside the intensive care unit.
A moment later, Yamaguchi Kinuro was dressed in a white coat, followed by two senior assistants and a group of nurses.
Yamaguchi Kinuro walked up to Leo’s side, he patted Leo’s shoulder and smiled, “Leo, it’s alright! Soon you’ll be able to see Lydia’s smile.”
“Well, thanks!”
Leo gave a smile.
With that, Yamaguchi Kinuro walked into the intensive care room.
At this time, Oda Yuki walked up to Leo’s side, she also patted Leo’s shoulder and said with a smile on her face.
“Don’t be nervous! Yamaguchi Kinuro is have the operation himself, actually, his assistant can do the operation, but he was unsure!”
Saying that, she leaned over Leo’s ear again and said in a small voice.
“Shall we go fishing on the beach tomorrow night? Tomorrow your wife and your daughter are awake, so let’s go and have some relaxing time.”
After saying that, she put on a smile as she walked into the intensive care unit.
Leo, “…”
Following behind Oda Yuki were several nurses who looked at Leo with strange eyes and smiles curled at the corners of their mouths.
When they all walked in to the intensive care room, the door snapped shut.
Outside the door, Leo’s heart sank, as if he was being pushed onto the operating table.
He sat down with a heavy heart on the side of Cecil, who lit a cigarette and smoked it, which he handed to Leo.
Leo inhaled bitterly, he heard from Yamaguchi Kinuro that this operation would take up to five or six hours.
As Leo puffed on his cigarette, he looked up and saw that Hyakuyan was holding a cluster of roses in both hands, her mother was holding a cluster of roses in her left hand and carrying a bag of fruits in her right hand as they walked over from the lift entrance.
Leo froze for a moment, and a warm current instantly came up inside him, he immediately extinguished his cigarette and threw it into the rubbish bin
Cecil also saw it, he was stunned for a moment, he also extinguished the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the bin.
The two then stood up.
“Uncle Leo, where’s Emilia? I want to see her.”
Hyakuyan looked up, stretching her neck, her eyes blinking, tears dripping from the corners of her eyes.
Leo’s heart felt like a knife cut, he sniffed his sour nose and said with a bitter smile, “Well, she’s sleeping, I’ll take you in to see her later, okay?”
The door to the intensive care room was locked and there was a “Do not disturb!” sign on the door.
Emilia was also inside, and the room inside was being operated on.
“Madam, you’re here.”
Leo lifted his head and fixed his gaze on Hyakuyan’s mother’s face.
“Last night we heard from my husband that your wife and your daughter were injured and hospitalised. Hyakuyan cried all night, so we came to see your wife and your daughter early this morning.”
