Chapter 273 He Wants to See You
By the time Julian came over, Leonard had long passed out. It seemed the revelation had at huge impact on him. He fainted at the slightest provocation.
Mr. Harmon Senior gave me a rather displeased look. “Why did you tell him about all of that?”
I didn’t defend myself, even though I didn’t say a single word the entire time. I came to discover that this was how the Harmons had always been. Whenever something went wrong, the first thing they did was find fault with the others. The Harmons were always right with everything.

I still remained standing by the door as I watched the doctor and nurses run in and out of the ward. Julian wore a complicated expression when he came outside.
“His body has metabolized most of the hallucinogens, but it still got to him. He probably regained some of his memories, but we don’t know how much specifically.”
Mr. Harmon Senior gave Julian a worried look. “Does Leonard need surgery or some oral medicines?”
“My mentor is developing them as we speak, but Leonard’s case is not that straightforward. You guys should prepare yourselves for the worst.” Julian looked calm, but everything he said proved just how grim Leonard’s situation was.
Before he left, Julian told me that I had to take care of Leonard’s emotional state and keep him away from any provocation. I gave Mr. Harmon Senior a helpless look. The fact was that I was in something of an awkward position. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to call the shots anymore.
Mr. Harmon Senior seemed to be aware of this as well. He immediately nodded at Julian. Understood, Dr. Pope. Thank you for your help this time. The Harmon family owes you a big favor.”

Meanwhile, Mr. Harmon Senior looked at me with a mix of emotions. “You heard what the doctor said, Eva. Leonard can’t take any more provocation.”
“I know what he said. I won’t come here anymore.” If anything could provoke Leonard, it would be Amelia and me. It looked like she was brought back to the Harmon residence.
Amelia would probably stay there for a long time, whether she liked it or not. After all, the baby in her belly would keep her alive. The Harmon family wouldn’t mistreat her.
As for me, I cast a glance at the slumbering Leonard and thought to myself that I no longer needed to be there anymore.

Mr. Harmon Senior glanced at me, but he didn’t manage to say what he wanted to say to me. I knew he probably wanted me to swing by and check on Leonard or keep him company.
However, I honestly couldn’t do it. Every time I laid my eyes on him, my mind went right back to when he pushed me. Perhaps that wasn’t the Leonard I knew, but it was him regardless. I
couldn’t move on from that.
