64 We Need to Talk
“Okay.” Julian pulled his phone out with a blankexpression, and Amelia was finally panicked..
“Wait a minute!” Amelia looked at me, visibly upset. “Are you crazy?”
words echoed in my
“I think you’re the crazy one. Do you have any idea what you’re doing?” I took a step forward. and looked at Leonard, who was still unconscious. All of a sudden, mind.
What was so good about Leonard? Why were all the ladies getting crazy over someone like him?
All the ladies Leonard got involved with were like this, and so was Lily. And now, even Amelia acted the same.
I looked at Amelia, and my expression was devoid of emotions. “Let him go and let the hospital staff perform tests on him. Otherwise, we’re calling the police.”
Leonard hadn’t sobered up completely. I wasn’t going to do anything to Amelia. If he regained consciousness and acted crazily again, I would just become the jerk again.
“No. That’s not happening! I won’t let go. Leonard loves me. He’s mine!” Amelia staggered. Her eyes remained fixed on me, but she fell to the floor.
It was a complete mess by the ward door. At that moment, Mr. Harmon Senior rushed over here with his men. I paid no mind to the Harmons. Instead, I asked Julian to hurry up and perform tests on Leonard.
“What trouble have you stirred up again, Eva?” Ivy looked at me with a displeased expression. She even intended to stop the doctor, but Mr. Harmon Senior’s men blocked her.
Mr. Harmon Senior stared at me profoundly. “What’s happening?”
“Amelia drugged Leonard with hallucinogen. It might make him addicted.”
Bob and Ivy swapped glances when they heard what I said. They remained quiet, hatching some plots that were only known to them.
Leonard’s luck had been rotten lately. He was drugged and exposed to radiation, and he even got beaten up. I cast my glance to the ward and looked at him with a mix of emotions.
I felt somewhat guilty, too. It was true. I was partly responsible for what Leonard turned into.
I didn’t say anything when Mr. Harmon Senior’s men took Amelia away. It didn’t concern me if she ended up dead or alive. If Leonard was gung–ho about protecting her, there was nothing I could say as well.
Mr. Harmon Senior ordered the bodyguards to lock down the entire floor as everyone quietly

“It is a hallucinogen. There are some knockout drugs as well. Also, the essential oils were probably spiked. I managed to find out that Amelia studied psychology and picked up some questionable skills in Erewhon.”
Julian was still wearing a blank expression, but there was some trace of excitement in his eyes. “I didn’t think this type of drug could alter someone’s memories. I’ve come to realize that Amelia is something of a genius when it comes to this area.”
Julian raised his head and quickly shut his mouth when he saw how speechless I was.
“How will this drug affect Leonard, doc?” Mr. Harmon Senior coughed lightly and stared at Julian intensely. “Will he recover from it? Will it damage his brain?”
