The Unbreakable Bond (Rosalind and Leonardo) novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117
With this in mind, the smile in Rosalind’s eyes gradually faded, returning to her usual distant and indifferent smile.
Leonardo had been paying attention to Rosalind’s expression. He had clearly seen the sudden gleam in her eyes a moment ago, gemine joy and undisguised satisfaction from within.
But in just an instant, that gleam disappeared, replaced by a face of aloofness and a fake unile.
As Leonardo looked at Rosalind like this, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if something had struck him hard, causing him to involuntarily inhale cold air.
Rosalind seemed to notice Leonardo’s gaze but tried hard not to look at lum.
At this moment, Rosalind actually wished to finish changing the medicine quickly and leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, she truly didn’t know how long she could endure.
After all, Leonardo was someone Rosalind had once chased after, someone she had deeply loved. To say that she didn’t have any feelings for him, Rosalind herself didn’t believe it. But she knew she couldn’t.
A person shouldn’t fall into the same river twice.
The first time, Rosalind had used up all her hack to climb ashore, just barely saving her life.
If Rosalind were to fall into the river again, she would be left with only a dead end.
Brett also felt the sudden silence in the office was somewhat eerie. He discreetly tapped Rosalind and glanced at Leonardo, shaking his head.
He really couldn’t understand what was going on between these two. Sometimes they seemed fine, but other times they seemed more distant than strangers.
Was it the same for everyone after a breakup?
Brett suddenly thought of Elanor, who had always gone along with his wishes.
Since the last time Elanor left, Brett thought that with her temperament, she would come back to him eventually. While Brett was still considering whether or not he should continue to spend time with Elanor when she returned, he suddenly found himself losing interest in other women recently, feeling that they were not as interesting
After much consideration, Brett felt that Elanor seemed pretty good in comparison.
But what surprised Brett was that since that day Elanor left, she had never come to find him again, making him feel… like something was missing.
After Rosalind and Leonardo finished changing medicine, Brett didn’t have much interest in keeping them around and dismissed than
However, before they could reach the hospital’s entrance, they unexpectedly bumped into Rosalind’s mom and dad head-on.
Seeing Margery and Nafis looking at her and Leonardo with shocked expressions on their faces, Rosalind’s face turned pale with fear.
She quickly asked Leonardo to go ahead while she went up to greet them.
“Mom, Dad, where have you been?”
Rosalind asked with soare guilt and frustration.
Margery and Nafis must be very disappointed in her. Leonardo had caused her and her family to be ruined, yet she was still entangled with him.
Margery remained silent, while Nafis gave Leonardo a deep look.
Leonardo didn’t pay attention to Rosalind’s instructions. Instead, he walked forward and respectfully nodded at them as a greeting
As he looked up and met Nafis inquisitive and complex gaze, Leonardo didn’t flinch and returned the gaze with composure.
“Leonardo, go!”
Rosalind’s heart ached as she watched the prolonged eye contact between Natis and Leonardo. She urged Leonardo to leave. However, Leonardo remained motionless, still calmly facing Nafis’ scrutiny. His hands were quietly interlocked in front of hin, gently caressing, revealing his nervousness at the moment.
Previously, Leonardo had never shown a good expression in front of Nafis, even after they got married. He had never treated Nafis as his father-in-law.

Now, seeing Nafis’ complex gaze fixed on him, Leonardo suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
“Leonardo, please go!”
Rosalind’s mind was already unable to think, and she just wanted the two of them to separate quickly and Leonardo to leave now. Her one even carried a trace of pleading.
She was afraid that her parents would be angry, afraid of their disappointment, and even more afraid of any complications that might arise from Nafis delicate condition.
Leonardo looked deeply at Rosalind but didn’t move a step!
“Dad. I’ll go back to the ward first.”
Since she couldn’t persuade Leonardo, Rosalind tried to persuade Nafis.
Seeing Rosalind’s anxious and worried expression, Nafis withdrew his gaze and affectionately patted her head.
“Silly child…”
His daughter had grown up and started considering his feelings. Nafis felt both relieved and distressed.
After waking up. Nafis realized how much suffering his precious daughter had endured over these five years, how much she had suffered.
It was all because he, as her father, had failed to support her, which led to her enduring so much hardship.
“Dad…” Rosalind’s eyes instantly turned red, and tears couldn’t be held back, flowing down her cheeks.
Nafis gently patted Rosalind’s back and wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.
“I understand your thoughts. Don’t worry. You stay with your mother over there for a while. I want to have a chat with him.”
Nafis pointed to a nearby bench and smiled faintly.
“Dad, what do you have to talk to him about……
Rosalind wanted to say something more but was gently pulled back by Margery.
“Let’s go. Your failuer knows what to do!”
Margery linked arms with Rosalind and slowly walked towards the distant bench
Rosalind turned her head to look at Leonardo, her eyes filled with a warning as if to say that if anything happened to Nalis, she wouldn’t let him off easily.
Leonardo miraculously understood her message.
As Rosalind left, Nafis slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at Leonardo.
It had to be said that Leonardo was indeed a very good man. He was good-looking and came from a good family. No wonder Rosalind had been so fond of him in the past. But this man was the one who hurt his daughter the most.
“Young man, let’s go. Let’s have a chat…”
Nafis’ voice sounded a bit h oar se. Although he could speak now, he no longer had the same vigor as when he was the CEO of Jansen Group. He appeared more easygoing and tired, like an old man
After speaking, Nafis walked slowly in the opposite direction of Rosalind and Margery as if taking a leisurely stroll.
Upon hearing the wordardo nodded slightly and walked beside Nalis, following him at a slightly slower pace,
you Leonardo or Mr. Brooks?
Nafis asked casually, with his hands behind his back.
“Just call me Leonardo.”
Leonardo replied softly, not daring to be presumptuous. At this moment, he looked like a well-behaved studem, attentively listening to his teacher’s instructions.
“Well, Leonardo…
Nafis called out softly, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke in a calin tone.
“Back then, Rosalind pursued you so unabashedly for four years, and later, with that incident, I insisted that you marry her. You must hate nie,
right?”
Nafis knew very well how much Rosalind had liked Leonardo in the past. In the eyes of others, it could be considered crazy, but Nafis didn’t want to describe his daughter in that way. He could only say she was “unabashed”.
