Supreme Mars novel Chapter 369

Hearing Ernie's words, Leo fell into silence.
He wouldn't mind seeing that girl again, but it was too late, and she was afraid of disturbing her rest.
Ernie thought Leo was feeling awkward, so he explained, "Please don't get me wrong. She just wanted to see you and thank you in person.”
Leo's face softened a bit, and he said, "She doesn't have to. It's no big deal, and it's too late now. I'm afraid we'll disturb her rest. How about tomorrow?"
The reply sounded very considerate. Ernie agreed with gratitude on his face, "Okay, | will send someone to pick up Mr. Cohen tomorrow morning!"
Leo was about to refuse, but Ernie had already left with his bodyguards.
Leo could only smile wryly and went back to Nadine.
At the same time, in the house of the Palmer family.
Brooke had been beaten badly, but he still drove out with his body covered by bruises.
He pulled his car before a private club and limped into a room on the third floor with other people's support.
"Isn't that Brooke? What brings you here so late at night?"
A handsome young man asked with a smile. His skin was even fairer than womer’s, and his hand was grabbing a folding fan, shaking it gently.
However, seeing Brooke limping, the young man stopped his playful demeanor. He asked cautiously, "Brooke, where did you get those injuries?"
"Don't get me started. My family punished me.”
Brooke waved his hand, and his face suddenly turned gloomy, "Jaxon, you said Leo was just a loser married into a wealthy family. Fighting is the only thing he's good at. Why the information | get is different from what you said?"
This handsome young man with the folding fan in his hand was Jaxon Hamilton.
Leo had asked Justin to investigate the Hamiltons many times, and they all seemed quite obedient. However, Jaxon had been in Hopkins Metropolis for quite a while now.
Jaxon was also the guy who disclosed Leo's information to Brooke.
Jaxon was astonishment at this moment.
"That's impossible. The information | gave you was definitely right. He's just a loser relying on his wife's family!”
Jaxon shook his head and seemed decisive. He said, "Tell me everything you know about him.”
Brooke looked displeased, but he still repeated the whole story to Jaxon again.
"He saved the daughter of the patriarch of the Palmer family...”
Jaxon put on a concerned face, and then his eyes turned to Brooke. He said thoughtfully, "Brooke, the situation is putting you in a very disadvantaged position in the competition for your family patriarch.”
"What do you mean?"
Brooke frowned and asked.
Jaxon said sternly, "It is all about your cousin. Leo saved the daughter of your patriarch, and your patriarch must be very pleased with him now.
If this goes on, and the relationship between Leo and the daughter is taken to the next level, he might become the son-in-law of your patriarch again. You're basically out of the game."
Hearing that, Brooke knitted his brows deeper. He asked, "Isn't he married?"
"Yes, he is married, but he will divorce Lydia soon, which is a sure thing."
Jaxon's lips arched into a grim smile.
“How do you know..."
Brooke was about to ask, only to be interrupted by Jaxon
"You don't need to know that. I just know it. Their marriage is a game played by noble people."
Brooke was silent for a while. Thinking of what happened at the auction today, he asked tentatively, “Is it about the royal families in Valenham?"
Jaxon grinned a meaningful smile. Instead of answering that question, he said, "This is a set of stratagems which many people are involved in. Leo and Lydia's marriage had a conflict of interest with many people."
“The Lawsons and the Wilsons have fallen, the Stewarts have surrendered, only our Hamilton family is left now. However, we're still too weak alone, and only by uniting the forces from Hopkins Metropolis can we achieve that goal."
Ambition burnt in Jaxon's eyes as he stared at the bustling night market of Hopkins Metropolis.
Brooke opened his mouth and didn't know how to respond.
For some reason, he had the feeling that Hopkins Metropolis would be the main battleground in the future.
The next day.
After Leo woke up, he looked at the time and made arrangements for today's itinerary.
He would visit Ernie's daughter in the morning and meet Lydia in the afternoon.
He hadn't seen Lydia and Emilia for three days. Thinking of them, Leo grinned a gentle smile.
“Mr. Cohen, are you ready?"
Just by then, Ernie's voice came from outside the door.
Leo dressed up neatly and walked out. "Let's go."
Ernie showed Leo the way. 20 minutes later, they arrived at the hospital owned by the Palmer family
As soon as the door of the high-end ward was open, Leo saw the girl sitting on the bed. She was looking outside of the window in a daze.
She was so focused that she hadn't noticed Leo when they came in.
"Alina."
Ernie called her name softly, which was different from how he scolded Brooke last night.
Leo thought Ernie must love his daughter so much.
Hearing someone calling her name, the girl turned around and smiled happily.
"Dad."
But soon, she saw Leo standing behind Ernie.
“He is the one who saved you yesterday."
Ernie smiled slightly and walked out of the ward afterward, giving some space for Leo and Alina.
That move improved Leo's impression of Ernie a lot.
“You're the one who saved me yesterday?"
Her pale face blushed due to excitement. The red made the white whiter, and the white made the red redder.
“My name is Alina. May I know your name?"
She carefully stretched out a hand to Leo. Till then, Leo found that Alina was beautiful.
She had bright eyes and delicate facial features like dolls. Those eyes were among the most beautiful and clearest ones Leohad ever seen.
He didn't see any calculations or conspiracies in those eyes. There were only the yearnings for this world in them.
"Leo."
He said his name as he reached out his hand for Alina's.
When the big and small hands touched, Leo stared at Alina, and Alina stared back at Leo.
She looked a bit timid, and curious, like a kitten searching for food. She was still trying to approach.
“Can you be my boyfriend?"
Suddenly, she looked at Leo expectantly and asked.
Leo paused for a second and laughed, "I'm married."
"Oh."
The girl looked disappointed and moved her eyes away from Leo. She continued to watch the sceneries outside the window,
Sunlight was pouring on her face. It felt warm, but she tucked herself in the quilt.
Leo stared at her for quite a while. He didn't want to see the girl being so sad, so he asked, "Why would you ask thatquestion?"
Alina turned around and smiled, "Because I want a relationship."
Leo didn't understand. She asked him to be her boyfriend just to start a relationship. That was odd.
Alina added, "I have a heart issue, and it was passed down to me by my grandpa. The doctor said I only have three years tolive."
Leo froze upon hearing what she said.
For some reason, his heart twitched violently.
“So I want to fall in love once and have a relationship so that I can feel what love is like."
