Leonardo went to the Méreau Clinic directly with the contract that Paul gave him.
Josua had been transferred to the general ward already, but she still lived in a VIP ward right now.
This VIP ward was so well-decorated that it was even like a high-class suit in a luxury hotel, and only those who had power and money could live in such a special ward.
The Méreau Clinic was famous around the country already, and there was a continuous stream of patients all the time, some of whom were renowned figures.
Josua was feeling much better now, but she still looked very pale. She was surprised that Leonardo didn’t come to bother her for all these days. However, speaking of the devil, as she thought this, Leonardo showed up in her ward, which made Josua blame herself for being such a doomsayer.
“Hey, what are you reading, Ms. Porter? Wow, it’s Jane Eyre, that is a good book indeed,” Leonardo came in with a big smile on his face, and he was holding a fruit basket in his hand.
Josua’s face darkened immediately, and she felt uncomfortable somehow as soon as Leonardo came into her sight.
She thought she could face Leonardo calmly this time, but things were not like what she had imagined. After all, there was a difference between imagination and reality. Moreover, she lost to Leonardo again, and she would have been dead but for him.
Josua looked at Leonardo with a cold expression, and said, “What are you doing here? You know you are not welcome here!”
“Please watch your language, and I have to remind you that you are breathing right now only because I saved your life, and I paid all your medical expenses as well. So this is your way of treating your life-saver?” Leonardo replied.
Josua put down the book immediately, and even the Bible couldn’t make her calm down right now in front of Leonardo, let alone Jane Eyre.
Leonardo sat on the couch, picking out an apple, and peeling it with a knife.
“Do you want to have one? I’ll peel one for you,” Leonardo smiled.
“Of course!” Josua said with a cold smile.
While Leonardo was lowering his head, and peeling the apple, he asked, “Did you send my greetings to my mother after you came back to Emperia City?”
“I came to see her once, but she seemed skinny and listless. She was in bad condition right now, and she really wanted you to pick her up for a reunion,” replied Josua.
Leonardo shook his head, “My mother is not that kind of negative person. She’s gentle and strong, and she treats her friends kindly, as well as herself… She wouldn’t say something like that because she knew I would be in great danger once I came to Emperia City…”
“Let me guess, she should be leading a good life right now, keeping a healthy diet, sleeping well and taking a walk sometimes, and her body is in good condition.”
Josua was stunned for a while, and then said, “You are right, she’s doing alright, and she even wanted me to tell you to stay away from Emperia City.”
On hearing this, Leonardo smiled suddenly, “I knew it, you couldn’t lie to me about this…”
“I have to admit, she’s a very gentle person, and I feel very comfortable getting along with her. But I just can’t figure out why such a kind woman would give birth to an asshole like you!” Josua said.
“Why don’t you help us too now that you like her so much? Isn’t it a beautiful thing to help my family be reunited again?” Leonardo said.
With a cold expression on her face, Josua didn’t answer him at all, and she didn’t even bother to answer him.
Leonardo threw the apple into her hands after be peeled it, and said with calm, “The Mendez family are all bastards, they even tried to take control of my mother. Even though my father couldn’t talk, he was a good guy, and the Mendez family had no reason to look down upon him.”
