Leonard nodded.
What a coincidence.
“I’ve been wanting to ask this,” Kathleen started. “Kelly has been to the Macari residence in the past,
right?”
Leonard hummed as he nodded. “I brought her over during Samuel’s twentieth birthday.”
“That’s why the girl looks so familiar,” Kathleen muttered. “You’d better give Kelly a call then. The little
girl has been looking for her mom since she got here. I reckon Kelly is also worried to death.”
Leonard passed her his phone. “You make the call.”
“Huh?” Kathleen uttered, completely puzzled.
With a somber expression, Leonard said, “I don’t want to talk to her.
Kathleen threw him his phone. “Don’t be a nutcase! Do you think it’s easy for your ex-girlfriend to beg
you? She wouldn’t have bothered you if it wasn’t for the fact that she had no other options,” Kathleen
spat. “You make the call.”
Leonard stiffened at her words.
He did not know about Felicia’s condition.
If he did, he probably would not have treated her the way he did.Resignedly, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Kelly: Your daughter is at the hospital.
Come quick!
After the text, he even attached the location of the hospital.
Kathleen glanced at Leonard and massaged her temples. “It seems like you hate her.”
A deep crease forms between Leonard’s eyebrows. “Did Samuel tell you about Kelly and me?”
“No,” Kathleen replied lightly. “It’s just that I could tell how fond you were of her when you brought her
over to the Macari residence. Kelly was different back then; she was spoiled. And you—you enjoyed
spoiling her. I just thought that since the two of you were so madly in love, there were bound to be
regrets during your breakup.”
Furthermore, the party with resentments must have loved more intensely.
“It’s all in the past,” Leonard mumbled.
novelbin“Is it?” Kathleen asked quietly.
She did not believe Leonard’s words at all.
Right then, Hannah barged into the ward with a group of people.
She froze as she was not expecting Leonard to be there as well.
Leonard’s eyebrows pinched. “Ms. Tate?”
“Mr. Sullivan. A surprise seeing you here,” Hannah remarked coldly. “I’m here to pick up my
granddaughter.”
Leonard frowned.“Take her away,” Hannah ordered.
The two bodyguards immediately walked up to Felicia, who was lying on the hospital bed.
Kathleen furrowed her brows at that and was just about to speak up.
However, Leonard had stepped up and used his body to stop the bodyguards from advancing. His gaze
was sharp as he said, “Get away!”
The two bodyguards were too shocked to continue walking up to the little girl.
Meanwhile, Kathleen narrowed her eyes and was prepared for the drama to unfold before her.
“What do you mean by this, Mr. Sullivan?” Hannah asked icily.
“You can’t move her now,” Leonard replied. “Don’t you know what illness she has?”
“What’s the point of knowing?” Hannah responded sardonically. “I’ve already consulted the doctor long
ago. Her condition is both hard to treat and hard to cure.”
“A condition that’s both hard to treat and cure?” Leonard repeated. His eyes darkened as he continued,
“So you’re just going to take her away without even trying to do anything for her?”
Hannah was displeased. “She’s not even your daughter, Leonard. Why are you getting yourself
involved?”
Leonard clenched his fists at that.
Just then, Kelly entered the ward.
“Where’s Felicia?” she asked frantically.“Here,” Leonard said as he looked at Kelly, who was a wreck.
Kelly approached Felicia and immediately burst into tears upon seeing the girl’s state.
“I’m so sorry, Felicia. It’s my fault for not protecting you,” Kelly cried. She wanted to reach out and
caress Felicia but stopped upon seeing the various machines hung onto her.
Kelly turned to Leonard, her eyes brimming with tears. “What happened to Felicia?”
Leonard, too, was unsure. Hence, he turned to Kathleen.
“She was sent to the hospital earlier this morning,” Kathleen explained. “A girl named Madeline had
saved her from under a tire. She was walking her dog when she came across Felicia.”
“What?” Kelly exclaimed in shock. She immediately turned to Hannah. “Mom! This was not what you
promised me. You said that as long as I listened to you and your arrangements, you’d take good care
of Felicia. How could you?”
“I…” Hannah was at a loss for words.
Kelly’s tears became a torrent as she stared at Felicia. “She has leukemia. Any injuries would lead to
her life being in danger. How could you do this?”
“What was I supposed to do?” Hannah scoffed. “She’s just like you— doesn’t listen to me at all! She’s
been whining about wanting to see you and sneaked out while we were still asleep in the morning. It
serves her right to be knocked down by a car!”
Kelly’s face paled. “How could you say that, Mom?”
Leonard narrowed his eyes as he looked at Kelly, who was on the brink of breaking down. “It appears
that you forced your daughter to go on a blind date with me, Ms. Tate.”“Stop faking it, Mr. Sullivan,” Hannah sneered. “I just came to know that you and Kelly had actually
dated. I have to give it to the both of you for hiding it so well.”
“That’s enough, Mom!” Kelly cried out in a panic.
Hannah let out a cold snort. “It’s a pity that this child isn’t yours, Mr. Sullivan.”
With that, Kelly’s face became a shade paler than it already was.
She didn’t expect Hannah to believe what she told her about Felicia not being Leonard’s child.
However, the situation was about to be unpleasant because Hannah had so blatantly disclosed it to
Leonard.
Leonard inquired impassively, “Ms. Tate, isn’t it your ultimate goal to get your daughter to marry me? I’ll
marry her. This child is therefore also mine.”
Hannah’s eyes lit up at that instant. “Really?”
“I have my conditions,” Leonard stated coldly.
Wrinkles appeared at the corners of Hannah’s eyes due to her uncontainable excitement at that
moment. “Do state them.”
“You are not allowed to be within proximity to Kelly and Felicia from today onward,” Leonard declared,
his gaze sharp. “I’ll chop off your fingers if you fail to abide by this.”
Despite her displeasure from Leonard’s threat, Hannah was nonetheless thrilled as Kelly had finally
married into the Sullivan family.We’d finally have someone to rely on from today onward. This is way more important than getting
threatened!
Furthermore, Hannah did not believe Kelly would ignore her if she was truly in need.
“Sure. I accept your condition,” Hannah declared. She narrowed her eyes at Kelly. “You’re lucky this
time. You’d better not forget about your mother after becoming a rich wife!”
With that, Hannah, along with the two bodyguards, left.
Kelly stood up abruptly. “Wait—”
She was about to go after Hannah when Leonard stopped her.
He refused to let her go.
Kelly bit her lip in frustration. “Don’t stop me, Leonard. Let me talk to her. I can’t marry you!”
“Do you have a better way to solve this other than marrying me?” Leonard asked icily.
Kelly froze.
Meanwhile, Kathleen had dismissed herself after sensing that there was nothing else for her to do.
Tears were streaming down Kelly’s cheeks. “But I don’t want you to marry me in this situation.”
Leonard was not marrying her out of love, and she did not want that.
Leonard scoffed. “What? Are you hoping that I’ll fall in love with you again?”
“Then why did you agree with my mom’s request?” Kelly asked, utterly puzzled.“Well, I’m your first lover after all,” Leonard replied in a casually cruel manner. “There’s always an
option to get a divorce after marriage. Also, the main priority is to solve your problem. I’m not sure why
you keep asking such pointless questions.”
Kelly was taken aback by Leonard’s words.
“I’ll get Kathleen to help with Felicia’s issue,” Leonard declared before coldly adding, “Prepare the
documents. We’ll get our marriage certificate done tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow?” Kelly asked, clearly shocked.
Is he in such a hurry? Does he really not want to think more about it?
