Leon feels the crushing weight of all of this heavy on his chest. It's too much information all at once. He has been through so much tragedy in his life, that he can't believe that his fortune has suddenly changed. He doesn't believe that he is Shankly's lost heir. It takes a heavy toll on him, that he finds himself staggering back to the bed, and Helen rushes to help him. “Come on, Leon, please be careful,” she holds onto his arm. “Argh, Miss, please. I don't want to stain your expensive clothes with my blood.” He winces. “Please,” she snorts. “How does that matter when you are my brother?” She performs a few examinations, to know that he is not in any real danger, then she leaves the doctor to administer the rest of the drugs to him. Leon needs help immediately. Not only physically, but in many aspects of his life. Thinking about all the trauma he has experienced in his life, she finds herself at the very brink of tears. Helen is a doctor, she has a deep background in ps

Helen Shankly's car is the nicest that Leon has ever rode in his life. He is not used to the cool conditioning, so he runs his hands against each other. Helen faces wrinkles with amusement. “Do you want us to turn the air conditioning off?” Leon sniffs with embarrassment. “No, it's fine. I'm just reacting from the medicine.” She nods with understanding. “I understand that you are still recovering, and all, but I just want you to visit our family home. Do you know that mum gave birth to you right in our mansion? Dad hired the best doctors to make the birth safe for both of you.” She says. Leon forces a smile, even though it feels so awkward for him to be discussing the biological parents that he doesn't even remember their faces. Helen notices it, so she quickly changes the topic, maybe it's not the right time.She brings out her phone and finds a picture that they took, all three of the Shankly sisters. “Here, we are your sisters.” She shows him the picture. “This is me, Helen

Leon has never felt this beaten down by life. Not when his adoptive father died, not when Selina practically spat in his face. A few drops of tears roll down his cheeks as he realizes that his mother is about to slip out of his hands. He has lost his biological mother, he won't lose his adoptive mother too. Not even the devil will be able to take her away from him. He wipes his eyes with the back of his left hand and lifts the phone back to his ear. “Listen to me, mum. You are not going to die. I am going to get the money right now, and you will get the treatment.” He assures her. His mother chuckles painfully at the other side. “My poor boy, don't you understand? Mrs Xavier cancelled it a few weeks before, and has been giving us fake cheques. That means that I have exhausted any chance to get treatments on loan. I have to pay that off, before they even consider giving me a bed.” “I will get the money!” Loen quickly declares, surprising himself. “Hold on for me, I will be ther

When they get to Love hearts hospital's parking lot, Helen turns off the car. “I can't thank you enough, Miss Shankly.” Leon bows. “Thank you for saving my life today. I owe you.” Helen's hands tighten around the wheel. “You don't have to thank me for anything, Leon. This is what big sisters do. Just promise me one thing, okay?” Leon shifts on his seat. “Sure, Miss Shankly. I will do anything you want.” She rolls her eyes. “I want you to first of all, stop calling me ma'am, Miss Shankly, all of that! I might be someone important to everyone else, but I am just your big sister, okay?” Leon snickers. “Alright. What's the second?” She turns to make sure that she is looking him in the eyes. “I want you to promise that you will call me if you need anything. Okay?” Anything? Leon feels a tight pain behind his throat. He needs some money to handle his mother's hospital bill immediately, but he can't bring himself to ask his sister. His adoptive parents didn't bring him up to take
