"But, that's artificial respiration...”
Leo struggled to explain. He looked flurried, and he didn't know if it was because of sympathy or the guilt from his rejection just now.
"| know, so | appreciate you."
Alina was still smiling, but that smile looked slightly dreary to Leo. She said, "Now that you're married, let's just forget it.”
Leo asked in a deep voice, "Coronary heart disease can be cured. | know a skillful expert who can cure you.”
"So, please don't give up."
Leo seldom made promises, but once he did, he would do his best to fulfill them.
"Thank you,"
Alina smiled gratefully and said, "I'm not giving up. | just want to make my life more meaningful.”
People have their pursuit in each stage of their lives. | just want to be in love now.
She felt happier after chatting when Leo. Looking at the view outside the window, she said with a smile, "When | was young, and my mom was still alive, |asked him what it was like to be in love, and she always patted my head and said that | would know it in the future... but | don't have a future now, which was why | wanted to know how it felt.
"| searched it on the internet, and they saw love is like an electric shock. If someone makes me feel that, that means I'm falling in love."
Speaking of that, she looked at Leo and said, "When | fell to the ground and couldn't get up because of the heart attack, no one helped me. You're the only one who was willing to save me. An electric shock, that was what | felt at that time.”
"It was an illusion.”
"No, although | couldn't move at that time, | wasn't in a coma. | was looking at you all the time, and | knew | had a crush on you.”
Alina looked at Leo and said, "| don't mind if you're married or not.”
Leo didn't dare to meet her eyes. His mind went chaotic. Never had he felt so flurried.
He just wanted to save somebody's life and didn't want it to bring so much trouble.
He felt even more guilty thinking of Lydia. Sne was coming to Hopkins Metropolis this afternoon.
"I'm sorry. | can't."
Leo answered in a deep voice again.
Although this might seem a bit cruel to the girl, he would only harm her more if he agreed.
"Well then.”
There was no disappointment in Alina’s eyes.copy right hot novel pub
She just smiled calmly.
"Get up for the examination."
Just by then, the nurse's voice came from outside the door.
"Coming!"
Alina got out of bed and put on her shoes. She was already exhausted and panting after doing that.
She was wearing a pair of canvas shoes with a lace scattered on one side.
Suddenly, Leo crouched down and tied her shoelaces.
Alina was stunned and watched him doing this blankly.
Leo tied it carefully, and left a beautiful bow there. Then he stood up and said with a smile, "We don't need to be a couple to
do this."
“You won't die. Mark my words."
His face was stern, and his voice was deep. He turned away immediately after saying that.
Alina stayed there and stared at his back until he disappeared from her sight. Then she looked down at the beautiful bow on her shoes.
As she looked at it, big drops of tears rolled down her cheeks. Then she covered her face and cried out.
She didn't know that Leo had only laced two women's shoes in his life.
One was his daughter, Emilia.
The other one was her.
After leaving the ward, Ernie stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, smoking a cigarette alone.
Seeing Leo coming out, he walked over and smiled bitterly. "I'm sorry for this."
Leo said thoughtfully, "There's nothing to feel sorry about."
Ernie sighed, “The disease is atavistic. She got it from her grandpa."
‘T'll find a way to cure her disease, and I'll try my best to save her!"
Leo said firmly in a deep voice.
Ernie's eyes grew more respectful upon hearing Leo's words.
Suddenly, he bowed deeply to Leo and said, “I'm sorry, Mr. Cohen!"
Leo looked at him in surprise and asked, "Mr. Palmer, what is this for?"
Ernie said quietly, "I feel guilty!"
“Mr. Cohen is so considerate of Alina. I feel ashamed to have tested you before!"
Hearing that, Leo's eyes twitched, but he wasn't mad.
It was just a tiny thing for him.
However, he does admire Ernie's attitude. To admit it will lead to a completely different result than being discovered by Leo.
"It's okay. It's human nature."
Leo waved his hand lightly and let Ernie straighten up.
“Mr. Cohen, the Palmer family will fully support you from now on!"
Ernie said with a serious look as he straightened up. He said in a deep voice, “Whoever offends you will be the enemy of the
Palmer family, too."
Leo didn't speak and left the hospital.
He called Sharon and talked about Alina's situation.
However, Sharon fell in rare silence this time.
"How is it? Is it curable?"
Leo's tone suddenly became tense.
Sharon was silent for a while and then said, "I can have a try, but the chance is slim."
Leo seemed sorrowful to hear the answer. Sharon was the chief military doctor. If she couldn't make it, then who else could?
"If you're still concerned about that, maybe you should invite another person over. He might hold a high chance than me,"
Sharon said.
"Who?" Leo demanded immediately.
“Medical saint, Leon Marshall."
Sharon immediately hung up the phone after she said that name.
Leo's smiling face turned surprised.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Leo showed up on time at the place where he would meet Lydia.
"Dad!"
Not long after he arrived, he heard somebody's excited yelling.
Leo looked over and saw Emilia running towards him with a thrilled face.
“Emilia, give me a hug. Have you lost any weight?"
Leo was happy. He hugged Emilia and picked her up.
Emilia pouted jauntily and said, "Yes, I have. I've lost quite a few pounds while you were absent. You can feel it."
She said and put Leo's hand on her face.
Leo laughed and put her down. Then he looked at the figure walking towards him slowly.
“Honey.”
Lydia came closer and looked at Leo with soulful eyes.
She opened her mouth slightly and seemed to be saying something.
They hadn't seen each other for three days. Lydia knew Leo was busy handling Alan's business, so she didn't want to bother
him.
She would postpone this meeting weren't it for this business affair in Hopkins Metropolis.
Seeing Lydia's hesitant expression, Leo smiled and asked, "Do you miss me?"
After that, he gently took Lydia in his arms.
Lydia's body trembled. Ever since they broke the last boundary last time, she had become super sensitive.
She blushed as soon as Leo hugged her. So she glared at him, but the ice in her heart was melting quietly.
Emilia also joined in and said seriously, "Dad, Mom said she wanted to have a younger brother for me."
As soon as Emilia said that, Leo widened his eyes in surprise.
Lydia didn't say a word, but her face blushed even more, like a red apple that was going to dripping
