Supreme Mars novel Chapter 60

Leo brought Nadine and Marie to a residential area called Long Village. "Mr. Harris lives here."

Marie also volunteered to buy a big fruit basket on the way. The three of them went into a deep alley and stopped before a bungalow.

Leo knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Harris, it's me, Leo."

Soon, a girl about the same age as Marie opened the door slightly and asked timidly, "Who are you?"

"Are you Lizzie Clark?" Leo asked happily.

Lizzie was surprised that this young man knew her name.

"It's me, Leo Cohen. I had dinner here before," Leo said.

Lizzie thought about it carefully and exclaimed, "Leo?"

Leo nodded with a big smile.

Lizzie was adopted by Mr. Harris and she was smart and docile; the polar opposite of Shawn.

"You must be Leo's friends. Come in." Lizzie warmly invited them into the house, then ran back into the room and said happily, "Dad, Leo is here..."

Leo glanced around and found that the house was quite small and had only two rooms - a small bedroom and a dining room. The kitchen occupied a corner of the living room, making it even more crowded.

Lizzie came out with three cups of water and apologized. "It's a bit cramped here. Please don't let it bother you."

"It's nothing." Leo smiled and seemed to think of something and asked, "Lizzie, you used to live in the downtown area, right? Why did you move to this neighborhood?"

"Ugh, don't even bring it up." Lizzie's expression turned gloomy. "Shawn borrowed a ton of money when he gambled last time. We had to sell the downtown house to pay off all the debt."

"Oh..." Leo remained calm but only Nadine saw the coldness in his eyes. "Where does Shawn live then?"

"He doesn't like this shabby place and has been living somewhere else. He came back several times when Dad was really sick. I'm taking care of my father these days," Lizzie answered.

Leo was slightly surprised and asked, "But you are still a college student, aren't you?"

Lizzie's bright eyes dimmed for a moment but she still forced a smile and said, "I've dropped out."

Leo was shocked and even Marie felt a little depressed.

It was too cruel to deprive Lizzie of her right to go to college.

Leo gave Nadine a look, who nodded to indicate that everything would be prepared.

"Let's not talk about this. I'll go and get Dad up." Lizzie smiled, ready to go.

But Leo stopped her. "No need. Mr. Harris has a bad cold. Let him rest in bed."

Lizzie looked at Leo in surprise. "How did you know..."

"That's the reason why we're here." With a serious face, he said, "There is one more thing that you should know. This is Miss Henderson. She wrote the prescription for Mr. Harris."

"What?" Lizzie widened her eyes and stared hard at Marie.

Leo said, "But I can vouch for her with my life that she has been framed. There is nothing wrong with the prescription and the problem was the drugs themselves."

Lizzie calmed down slowly.

She was no fool and had read the prescription, which was indeed a prescription for colds. But she could not figure out why her father's condition worsened after taking the medicine.

"It's very simple. Someone is playing tricks." Leo sneered, "And he's very likely a mole."

"It can't be." Lizzie could not accept it and her face was as pale as paper.
