Leo came back early the next morning. As he walked into the ward, he clutched a beautiful stuffed animal and two handheld game consoles. When Rue saw him, she behaved like a warrior and stood in front of Mona, saying, "Why are you here again, you big bad guy?" When he heard her speech, he grimaced. "Is this how you teach your kids? To say I'm a bad guy?”Mona didn't think Rue would be so rude to Leo, and Leo’s attitude made her laugh. "I've never taught the kids like this before. They are their own thoughts.”Leo didn't agree. He took two paper bags from Nate and gave them to Rue, adding, "These are for you." Rue didn't even look at it and turned her head away, saying, "I don't want your gift." Leo’s face changed right away. "Is this what your mom teaches you?" "That's enough," Mona said angrily to him. "My kids don't need your help. Please leave, Mr. Cox.”"Yes! We don't want to talk to you.” Rue spoke very loudly, but Mona stopped her. "Ru! You have to be nice.”Rue’s eyes spark
Leo’s face grew cold, and he looked at Conan with a frosty look. "From what I know, the mother of your boy has come to your house to take him away. I'm sorry, but you don't have the time to get involved here anymore.”Conan glared at Leo, ready to say something back, but his phone rang. It was his mother calling. "Helen is here. She wants custody of Stefan. Please hurry back home...”Conan stopped in his tracks. He looked at Mona, who understood what was going on. "You should hurry back because you have something to do. Mr. Cox won't hurt me.” "I won't let you get away with it if you hurt her!" Conan made a threat then quickly fled. Leo’s eyes showed a trace of mockery as he watched him leave. "Looks like your fiancé isn't as dependable as you thought. At least when it matters most, he doesn't choose you.”Mona didn't say anything. Her eyes met Leo’s softly. "Mr. Cox, you've gone to a lot of trouble to talk to me alone. What did you wish to talk about?”As soon as she said this, L
The two of them exchanged glances, not expecting that Leo had stopped them just to ask such a question."I just thought that their features and contours resemble yours a bit, Mr. Cox..." one of the women answered cautiously.Leo’s face remained hidden in the darkness, making it hard to discern his expression.Seizing the opportunity, the two women hurriedly left.After standing quietly in place for a while, he took out his phone and called his assistant Nate, "Get in touch with the doctor. I want all the medical records of the child who wasadmitted today."At that moment, Mona was anxiously waiting outside the operating room for Luke’s surgery to finish. Mrs. Poppy Gray and Conan had also arrived, accompanied by Stefan.Upon seeing Stefan, Rue immediately glared at him fiercely. "The culprit!"Mrs. Poppy Gray frowned slightly and spoke gently to Rue, "Rue, you've misunderstood Stefan. He said he originally intended to catch Luke, but he accidentally pushed him. It'sall a misundersta
Leo raised an eyebrow. "Special?"Rue seemed to want to say more but suddenly recalled something her brother had mentioned. She took a few steps. back. "I won't talk to you. You're a bad person," Rue turned her head away from him.Leo’s expression darkened instantly. "Your mother is portraying me this way to you?""You're not allowed to say bad things about my mommy!" Rue was instantly infuriated when she heard him criticizing Mona. Like a little firecracker, she charged toward him, hersmall fist pounding on his leg."What my brother said is right. You're a bad person! I never want to talk to you again!"The commotion drew Mona’s attention. She rushed over to hug Rue tightly and glared at Leo. "What did you do to her?"Leo couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.The child called him a bad person, and her mother looked at him defensively. What on earth had he done to deserve this level of condemnation?Just as he was about to speak, a call from Sydney came in. His expression darken
Rue’s attention was diverted as she explained the whole situation, looking somewhat aggrieved.Stefan, accompanied by Luke and her, entered the garden and suggested they all play hide and seek together.Luke and Rue split up to hide. Rue concealed herself within the bushes, while Luke chose the attic for her hiding spot.After hiding for a while, Rue, feeling bored, quietly emerged from the bushes with the intention of reuniting with Luke. To her surprise, as soon as she came out, she saw two figures by the attic window. It was Stefan and Luke.Unaware of their conversation, Stefan suddenly reached out and pushed Luke down.Rue was terrified and let out a sharp scream, but Stefan had disappeared without a trace."I really didn't lie. He's a bad guy. He pushed Luke down..." Rue’a voice quivered with grievance as she spoke, and she seemed on the verge of tears.Mona hurriedly placed a kiss on her daughter's forehead. "Rue, I believe you haven't lied. The surveillance footage will defini
"Leo."Being humiliated in public, Sydney felt deeply resentful. She looked at Leo with a sense of grievance, but his gaze remained fixed on Mona’s retreating figure.It felt like a resounding slap on Sydney’s face.Her eyes filled with resentment as she stared in the direction Mona had left. She couldn't take it anymore.Leo hadn't noticed her unusual behavior. In that split second, an odd sensation gripped his heart. He felt that if he didn't follow Mona, he would regret it later. With that thought, he also walked quickly with a gloomy expression.Mona’s heart raced as she ran, eventually flinging her high heels aside and continuing barefoot. She rushed to the garden area, where she saw Luke lying on the ground with closed eyes. Rue was crying by his side, breathless. Stefan, who should have been with them, was nowhere to be found.Trembling, Mona hurriedly approached, half-kneeling on the ground to check on Luke’s condition. At that moment, Luke’s eyes were tightly shut, his fa
