Long Time, My Baby novel Chapter 36

In the bedroom, Leah sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Lucian's pale face. His former tall and thin body was now filled with tubes of various colors. Her nose twitched and her heart ached.

"Lucian, is this the gift you gave me?" Leah held Lucian's hand and murmured to herself.

There was no response from the person on the bed. The ECG monitor beside showed Lucian's weak heartbeat, indicating that his life was still going on.

"Worried?" Leah heard a chuckle above her head.

Leah raised her head and looked at the beautiful face in astonishment. His peach blossom eyes were shining with charming light, and his thin lips were enchanting. His features were as delicate as Lucian's.

Seeing a pair of almond eyes staring at him, Gary glanced at the man on the bed and smiled more brightly. "Sister in law, am I more beautiful than brother?"

"You are really beautiful." Leah nodded and said seriously. She couldn't help but criticize in her heart, 'Birds of a feather flock together. He is as narcissistic as Lucian.'.

Gary was speechless. He thought she would say he was handsome, but he didn't expect that she would use the word "beautiful" to describe a man.

"Ahem," Gary coughed to cover his embarrassment, "sister in law, let's go out to have a talk. Don't disturb brother's rest."

Leah glanced at Lucian and slowly put his hand back into the quilt.

In the living room, Leah saw a strange man. Although he was about more than 20 years old, he looked mature like a middle-aged man.

"Let me introduce." seeing Leah come out, Rain walked up to her and said, "Leah, this is Young Su, brother's attending doctor."

"Hello, Dr. Su." Leah bowed.

"I guess this must be Mrs. Mu. You're welcome." Hearing "Mrs. Mu", Leah blushed.

"What's Mr. Mu? Young, it's Miss Leah." Gary looked at Leah with a teasing smile.

With a smile, Young looked at Leah and said, "it seems that Mr. Lucian has to work harder."

Leah felt more embarrassed and decided to change the topic to distract them. "Doctor Su, how is Lucian?"

"Don't worry, Miss Leah. The bullet didn't hit the heart center. Mr. Lucian's life is no longer in danger. Now when Mr. Lucian wakes up, everything will be fine." The smile on his face disappeared.

"What if he can't wake up?" Leah panicked.

"Miss Leah, please trust me. Mr. Lucian will wake up tomorrow. What we need to do now is to wait patiently."

Leah breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you so much, Dr. Su."

"Brother Lucian hasn't recovered yet. Dr. Su, please stay in the manor today." Rain said. This was just to be on the safe side. It would be bad if something went wrong.

"Okay."

"Arrange a guest room for Dr. su." Rain looked at the maid beside him and ordered.

"By the way, arrange a room for sister-in-law." Gary added.

"No, thanks. I want to keep Lucian company." Leah looked in the direction of the bedroom.

"Leah, you..." Rain frowned and was interrupted by a gesture from Gary.

With a meaningful look at Leah, Gary asked, "Why do you care so much about my brother?"

"He is my boyfriend." Leah blurted out.

"I heard a few days ago that my brother found his girlfriend. How long do you think you can stay with him?" Gary rubbed his chin and looked at her face thoughtfully.

Leah clenched her fists and said nothing.

"It's not good to be abandoned." Gary looked at Leah's pale face and continued.

"I don't need him to abandon me. When she comes back, I will leave." Leah bit her lips, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Well, everyone is tired today. Go to bed early." Gary stood up and looked at the maid next to him. "Serve Miss Leah well."

"Yes, sir."

Rain sensed that there was something wrong with Gary's words. Afraid that Leah might overthink it, he smiled gently at her and said, "Leah, have a good rest. Get rid of the jet lag. Don't worry too much."

"Okay."

Rain and Gary walked out of the living room and headed for the study.

"Brother Gary, what do you think of Leah?" Rain turned around and closed the door of the study.

Gary sat down on the chair and said, "Not enough."

"What do you mean?" Rain frowned and looked up at the man who was smiling evilly.

"She doesn't love our brother enough. Now she still wants to leave, which means that their relationship is not stable. Leah hasn't confirmed her heart yet." Gary squinted and thought about it carefully.

"That's why brother Lucian didn't tell her his identity,"

"Yes, he loves her very much, but she is different. Emotional instability is very dangerous for him, whether it is the identity of the CEO of MZ group or his status in the underworld." Crossing his arms across his chest, Gary looked uninhibited, but the seriousness in his eyes could not be ignored.

Rain didn't say anything more. A strong feeling would lead to a strong possessiveness, and Leah indeed needed to be tempered.

"Kick the door open." Charlie staggered out of the car.

"Yes, sir." Although the men were in a dilemma, they didn't dare to disobey Charlie's order.

"Ah!" Alina, who was sleeping, ran out of the bedroom when she heard the noise. She couldn't help screaming when she saw Charlie and several men standing in front of the broken door.

"Shut up!" Alina shut up immediately.

After a moment of silence, Alina looked at Charlie cautiously and asked, "What's wrong, Charlie?"

"Well," Charlie sneered, "this is my gift for you on lunar July 7th. Don't you like men? Are these enough tonight? "

Alina's face turned pale with fright. "Charlie, what are you talking about?"

"What? Did you think about what Leah was thinking when you dealt with her? " A gust of cold wind blew, and Charlie woke up a little.

"It's Leah again." Alina was on the verge of breaking down. She roared at Charlie, "Charlie, when you were with me, you called her name. That time when you came out of the hospital, you went to see her again and again. Do you think I didn't know the gift you prepared for her on the lunar July 7th Festival? Don't you dislike Leah? Why are you so angry with me? Don't forget that I learned this from you. "

"Did I treat you unfairly? A woman who came out of the slum, a woman who cheated on me countless times, what right do you have to blame me? " Said Charlie, gritting his teeth.

"Ha ha, birds of a feather flock together."

A hint of cruelty flashed through Charlie's eyes. "Take good care of Miss Alina. Don't forget to find a professional photographer. Our big star hasn't been on the newspaper for a long time."

"Yes, sir." The men's eyes became obscene.

"You can't do this to me, Charlie." Alina looked at the man approaching her, her eyes full of panic.

Taking a determined look at her, Charlie turned around and walked out.

He drove around the city aimlessly. There was no one on the street. The shops on both sides of the street had been closed, leaving only a few neon lights flashing.

To the old street? Well, Leah has moved to the Great Garden. What's the point of going there.

The clear night sky suddenly darkened and it began to rain. Charlie parked his car in the middle of the road, painfully bending over the steering wheel, and buried his hands in his hair.

Why? Why didn't he realize that he had fallen in love with her until he pushed her away?

After two years of getting along with each other, everything about her had unconsciously affected him. As long as he closed his eyes, his mind was full of her every smile, unforgettable.

He didn't know how to cherish when she was with him. Only when he lost her did he regret.

The rain was still falling, and this night was destined to be sleepless.
