now.
We were taken to the same ward. I was wrapped up like a mummy, and so was Leo. It was a funny scene, two mummies.
“Thank you, emm, how did you… Never mind, thank you anyway.”
Part of me felt that this was retribution for what Leo had done before, but I couldn’t be cruel. This time he really paid a price for saving me.
But it was the least of my problems, as Leo’s keen gaze was fixed on us. He was observing the interaction between me and my brother. Henry was behaving like a caring partner after seeing me in trouble.
I eyed him to hold his horses and behave normally, arousing Leo’s suspicion would be fatal. for my plan. As for the record, he knew that Henry was touchy about his younger sister. Given that Leo had tested me before, our relationship would make it obvious that we had blood ties with each other. It wouldn’t be long until a genius like Leo joined the dots and
realized that we were plotting against him.
However, the panic affected Henry’s brain efficiency as well. I shot him a look again, but he didn’t get it. Instead, he asked me foolishly,
“Is your eye twitching, Laura?”
Oh, my gosh!
So embarrassing!
I wanted to facepalm myself, as there was no place to hide my flushed face. Henry’s idiocy-
left me speechless.
Luckily, the police arrived at the scene, diverting everyone’s attention. They arrested the goons and confiscated the cameras. My belongings were returned to me as well.
Then we were questioned about the incident, and I recorded my statement for abduction, treating my wounds as best as I could. My affectionate brother didn’t stop for a second, making sure that all the paperwork was taken care of. I could understand his feelings for me, but Leo’s gaze was shifting between the two of us, as if trying to reveal the truth.

Blimey!
Henry insisted on changing the bandages for me himself.
