The doctors—the hospital director and senior ophthalmologists at DMC—were startled by Vior’s aggressive attitude. And they weren't the only ones surprised; Leon was too. He quickly stepped forward. He had to do something before the DMC canceled his mother’s treatment.“Please excuse my friend, esteemed doctors,” Leon said, standing right beside Vior. “She only arrived last night. She flew for seven hours. I believe she is still tired and jetlagged. However, because she must return to her home country soon, and to accommodate the DMC’s schedule, the treatment has to be done today. Therefore, I ask that we all address our disagreements with cool heads. I understand if you all have some doubts about my friend due to her appearance and demeanor, which is not typical of a doctor. But believe me, she is one of the best in her country. You will all see it for yourselves when she treats my mother.”Leon tried to say all of that as calmly as possible. The situation was already tense. He couldn

Except for Vior, everyone in the room was shocked. Mary posed the question while looking directly at Leon, right into his eyes. Did this mean she could see again now?“Mom, you can see Leon?” Evelyn asked, unconsciously tightening her grip on Mary’s hand.“Are you Evelyn, my daughter-in-law?” Mary asked, her gaze shifting to Evelyn.Now Leon was certain his mother could see again. And that was also what was on the minds of Ingrid and the other DMC ophthalmologists.At this point, the hospital director suddenly took two steps back. Unlike the others, the shock he experienced made him pale. It was as if he had just seen something he shouldn't have seen.“Let me check,” Vior said, moving closer to the surgery table and picking up a small flashlight.She shone the light beam from the flashlight into Mary’s eyes. The other doctors observed the reaction given by Mary’s eyes. Some of them nodded.“How are my mom’s eyes now?” Leon asked.Vior placed the small flashlight back where it belonged

Vior looked at the figure walking toward them. A police officer. Vior could immediately guess that from the shoes and pants the person was wearing.“Do you have business with him?” Vior asked.“No,” Leon said, shaking his head. “He has business with me.”None other than the approaching officer was Kevin. Kevin was alone this time. He was covering his police uniform with a dark blue denim jacket.“We meet again, Leonidas Vale,” Kevin said, stopping right in front of Leon. He glanced at Vior briefly. Vior gave him a dismissive look.“You were involved in that fight incident, weren't you? Just confess,” Kevin said.Leon was silent for a moment, then chuckled. “Are you accusing me, Officer? Do you have evidence to support your accusation?”“I'm gathering it,” Kevin answered quickly. “And let me tell you, the evidence I'm collecting this time will truly be able to drag you to jail. Be prepared, because you might spend the rest of your life in prison.”Just like in previous encounters, Kevi

The man inside the dark blue sedan was a police intelligence officer assigned by Kevin to monitor Leon's movements. Like a typical intelligence officer, he looked like an ordinary civilian at first glance. People wouldn't suspect anything until they tried to peek at what was inside his car.And now he was explaining the change in situation he meant to Kevin. He explained in detail. While he was explaining, the car carrying Dimitri and Vior began to leave the parking area.“What are your orders, sir? Should I follow where those two are going?” the intelligence officer asked.Kevin said something. The intelligence officer nodded while continuing to observe Dimitri’s car. At one point, just as the car was about to reach the main road, it stopped for two seconds before speeding away.“Roger that,” the intelligence officer said, lowering the hand holding his phone.He placed the binoculars on the dashboard. He followed Kevin’s direction to tail Dimitri and Vior.Meanwhile, at the seafood r

Leon turned back, smiling faintly.“Smart guess. But you’re wrong. I’m not a secret agent,” Leon said.Leon let go of Christy’s hand, being careful not to hurt the woman who was dressed like a lady.“If not a secret agent, then what? Undercover cop? Military intelligence? You must be someone like that, right?” Christy guessed.Leon turned his body slightly, raising one eyebrow.“I think those questions are more appropriate for you. You could be one of the professions you just mentioned,” Leon said.Christy looked at Leon seriously. The gesture she was showing now was very different from before the appearance of the failed robbers.“We will meet again,” she stated.Leon didn't say anything, just smiled thinly and turned to walk away, turning his back on her. He left, walking out of the seafood restaurant....Dimitri and Vior were on their way to Dimitri's military battalion headquarters. It was still about a fifteen-minute drive. Vior glanced at the rearview mirror, noticing someone t
