Long Time, My Baby

Chapter 22 Visit

[穆瑾瑜] had planned to stay in Mohe County for two more days, but she didn't expect that [韩雨泽] would tell her that there was something urgent in the company, so she decided to go back ahead of time.

As soon as they arrived at Wilson city and got off the plane, Leah felt a wave of heat. Although it was raining, she felt very hot when she came back from the Mohe County.

"Little girl, go back and pack up today. I'll send someone to move your things to the Great Garden tonight." Lucian was kind of looking forward to it.

"It's so fast. There's still a day left, isn't there?" Leah counted the days.

Lucian cast a cold glance at her, which made Leah silent for a moment, 'Mr. Lucian, please don't be so scary, okay?'

"That's it. you'll move in tonight. I'm going to the company."

Looking at the back of Lucian, Leah felt strange. Why did he seem to be angry?

She didn't think too much. She went back to the apartment and packed up some clothes and toiletries. Then she sat on the sofa watching TV and waited for someone to help her carry things.

"Around two o'clock in the morning, a major traffic accident happened on the Evergreen Road. A Chevrolet sports car with the license plate number RK5388 collided with a large truck. The body of the car had been scrapped, and the police had intervened. The reason was under investigation. We don't know the driver of the Chevrolet is alive or not, and the hospital has been rescuing him overnight. It's reported by Wilson Daily. "

Chevrolet? RK5388? Isn't this Charlie's car?

Leah was shocked. He had a car accident? At two o'clock in the evening? Why didn't he stay with Alina?

Thinking of Charlie and Alina, she still felt a little uncomfortable. Now Mr. Barton was in the hospital, and Charlie was in the hospital, too. Misfortune never comes alone. She would go to see him tomorrow. Even if she hated him and their relationship could be exhausted in two years, they knew each other after all. She didn't want to be ruthless.

In the evening, in the Great Garden, Lucian came back early and had dinner with Leah.

"Well, Lucian, I want to tell you something."

"What?" Lucian looked at her, waiting for her next words.

"I want to visit Charlie tomorrow. Didn't he have a car accident? After all, we met once." Leah picked up a piece of vegetable and put it into her mouth.

"Then I'll go with you." Although Lucian was a little unhappy, he didn't refuse.

"No, thanks. You've been very busy these days. I can go there alone." Seeing that he didn't refuse, Leah smiled.

Unexpectedly, Lucian pulled a long face and said, "that's your business. I'm full."

He put down the bowl and chopsticks, turned around and went upstairs.

Looking at his back, Leah frowned and thought, 'Is he angry? He was fine just now. Whatever. I'll go to the hospital tomorrow.

In the room, Lucian was sullen.

This woman, who had recovered her scars and forgotten her pain, didn't give up after what Charlie had done to her. She even said that she would go to the hospital to visit him in front of him. Did she think he, Lucian, was dead? It seemed that he treated her too well and healed her too fast.

They didn't talk the whole night.

The second day, early in the morning, after breakfast, Leah bought a bunch of lily flowers and went to the hospital.

Clang! Clang! Clang.

Charlie had woken up from a coma, but he was not in a good mood. When he saw Leah, a glimmer of joy flashed through his eyes, and then they were covered by coldness. "Why are you here?"

Leah walked in and put the flowers in the vase. "It's said that you had a car accident. I'm here to see you."

Was she caring about him?

"Humph, do you mean you are here to laugh at me?" Charlie concealed his joy.

"If you think so, I have no choice."

"You can leave now. I don't want to see you." He didn't want to appear in front of her in such a decadent manner.

"In that case, I'll leave now." Leah turned around and left.

"Stop! You came to see me, but you left in less than five minutes? Are you sincere? " Charlie was angry.

Leah was speechless. What was wrong with him? It was so awkward.

"Didn't you ask me to leave? It's better to accept it than to be respectful. "

"I want an apple. Peel it for me." Charlie looked away awkwardly.

"Humph!" Since he was a patient, she didn't want to argue with him.

Looking at the white, tender and slender hands holding the apple, Charlie felt very pleasant.

"Leah, why are you here?" When the apple was about to be peeled off, a sharp voice came into Leah's ears.

"Why are you here? Didn't I forbid you to come out? " Charlie's anger rose when he saw Alina come in.

With an aggrieved face, Alina said in a gentle voice, "I'm worried about you, Charlie."

"Here, the apple is peeled. I have to go now." Leah really didn't want to see them show off their love.

"I'll see Miss Leah off." Alina said warmly.

As soon as she walked out of the door, her warm and kind face immediately twisted. Leah really admired her changing speed.

"Leah, why are you still pestering Charlie?"

"I just heard that he was hospitalized and came to visit him. After all, we knew each other." Leah said calmly.

"Don't pretend to be kind. Charlie is mine, and you are just a woman abandoned by him. I will be his wife in the future." Alina's eyes were full of hatred.

"I know. I don't dare to think too much. You don't have to be alarmed. You'd better think about how to be his wife soon." Leah was not in the mood to argue with her, so she turned around and left.

Alina glared at her and went back to the ward.

Leah didn't leave the hospital immediately. She went to buy some fruits and then asked where Mr. Barton's ward was.

"Mr. Barton, are you okay?" Looking at him half lying on the bed, Leah felt that her back seemed to be bent a little.

"Leah, here you are. Take a seat." When Mr. Barton saw Leah, his eyes lit up. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Leah respected Mr. Barton. After all, he had been nice to her before. "Mr. Barton, are you feeling better?"

"Much better, Leah. You and Charlie?" Mr. Barton looked at her expectantly.

"It's impossible for me to be with him." Leah smiled bitterly.

"Alas, Leah, I'm really sorry. I've thought about it for a few days. On the engagement day, I was dizzy with anger. If I'm not wrong, it was taken by Charlie."

A tinge of sadness flashed through Leah's eyes. "Mr. Barton, it's over. I don't want to mention that again."

"Well, let's not talk about it. Leah, you'd better call me Grandpa. If you can't be my granddaughter in law, you can be my sworn granddaughter. I know you are a good child."

Looking at the old man in front of her who seemed to be ten years older, Leah guessed that he must have had a hard time these days.

"Okay, Grandpa."

"Good girl."

"Let me peel a pear for you."

"Okay, Leah. When are we going to play chess? Grandpa, I'm still thinking about it."

"When you are discharged from the hospital, I will play chess with you." Leah carefully peeled the pear in her hand and suddenly thought of something. "Grandpa, I heard that Alina is going to marry into the Rong family."

"That woman, an actress? She doesn't deserve it!" Disgust flashed through Mr. Barton's eyes.

"Grandpa, if they really love each other, don't stop them. After all, it's not easy to find a person who knows and loves each other." Leah handed the pear to Mr. Barton.

The disgust in Mr. Barton's eyes didn't fade away. "Well, let's not talk about these unhappy things today."

"Okay, please tell me about chess." Leah changed the topic.

Mr. Barton was happy and told her seriously about his chess skills.

After leaving the hospital, Leah went back to the Great Garden. She looked at her watch and found that it was half past ten. Thinking of the man with a long face last night, she decided to cook by herself and send lunch to Lucian at noon.

"Mr. Hugh, what does Mr. Lucian like to eat? What can't he eat? " Leah asked Hugh.

"Miss Leah, sir is not a picky eater. I believe that no matter what you cook, he will like it." Looking at the girl, Hugh felt relieved.

"Really? I'll cook carp, braised pork and kung pao chicken. He can't eat much by himself. "

"Thank you, Miss Leah."

"Then please prepare a multi-layer lunch box for me." Leah smiled.

"Okay, I'll get ready right away."

Leah put on an apron. She was confident in her cooking skills. She had learned cooking for Charlie although Charlie had never tasted her cooking. Lucky Lucian.

A petite figure was busy in the kitchen.
