CHAPTER 223
LEONARD'S POVTheir faces were filled with sadness, and I could feel that the doctor's words had affected them deeply.I turned slightly toward them.I could not simply stand there and watch them give up."Mr. and Mrs. Kingston, please don't listen to them."The entire table suddenly became silent.Everyone looked at me.Even Mr. and Mrs. Kingston looked confused.The doctor who had been speaking confidently only moments ago raised his eyebrows and stared at me.Mr. Kingston looked at me carefully."Who are you?" he asked.There was confusion in his voice.I understood why he was confused. I was a complete stranger who had suddenly walked into their conversation and challenged the opinion of a doctor who had supposedly spent more than twenty years practicing medicine.I remained calm."My name is Leonard Storm," I replied.Mr. Kingston's eyes widened slightly."The Leonard Storm?""Yes," I replied.One of the people sitting at the table whispered something to another person after hea
CHAPTER 222
LEONARD'S POVI did not say another word.I looked at the waitress and gave her a calm expression before speaking."Please, lead us there."The waitress immediately nodded."Of course, Mr. Storm."She turned around and began walking toward the front row, while Ava and I followed behind her. As we approached the table, I noticed several people turning their heads in our direction. Some recognized me immediately, while others appeared to be wondering why I had been given a special seat so close to the stage.The waitress finally stopped beside the table and smiled before saying."Please, have a seat, Mr. Storm. This table was prepared specifically for you and your guest."I nodded and replied."Thank you."She bowed slightly before turning around and walking away.Ava and I sat down.The moment the waitress was out of hearing distance, Ava leaned closer to me."Boss, something feels a little fishy."I looked at her."What do you mean?"She lowered her voice."Think about it. Why would
CHAPTER 221
LEONARD'S POVIt was finally evening.I stood in front of the large mirror in my room, adjusting the sleeve of my suit while checking my appearance one last time. As I adjusted my cuff, I suddenly heard the door to my room creak slightly.I looked at the mirror instead of turning around immediately, and through the reflection, I saw Ava walking into the room.She was dressed beautifully. She smiled when our eyes met through the mirror."I am ready, boss," Ava said as she walked closer.I smiled slightly and nodded. "Good. Give me a moment."Ava looked at me through the mirror for a few seconds before she noticed that my suit jacket was still hanging beside the mirror. She walked over, picked it up, and came toward me."Here," she said as she held the jacket out.I turned slightly, but before I could take it from her, she stepped closer and helped me put it on."Thank you," I said."You are welcome," Ava replied with a smile.I turned around to face her properly, and for the first ti
CHAPTER 220
LEONARD'S POVBefore I could turn away from the door, I heard Ava's voice behind me.“Boss.”I stopped and slowly turned around. Ava was standing a short distance away from me, looking at me with concern. She had left the room despite my earlier instruction for her to rest, and from the way she was staring at me, I could tell that she wanted to know what had happened.“Are you alright?” she asked, her eyebrows slightly raised. “Who was at the door?”I looked at her for a moment before a small smirk appeared on my face.“It was a messenger from my ex-wife,” I replied.Ava's expression immediately changed.“Your ex-wife?” she asked curiously. “What about her?”I lifted the small envelope in my hand and waved it slightly.“She sent someone to deliver her wedding invitation.”Ava stared at the envelope before looking back at me.“Wedding invitation?” she repeated.I nodded and continued.“She is finally getting married to Greg Winchester.”Ava's mouth opened slightly in surprise. “Oh.”I
CHAPTER 219
LEONARD'S POVAva and I remained in the room for a few more seconds after the doorbell rang again. “I will go and get the door,” Ava said as she stood up from the bed.However, the moment she took a step forward, I noticed that she was not moving with the same strength she normally had. She had been through a lot, and although she kept saying that she was fine, I could tell that her body still needed rest.I immediately raised my hand to stop her.“No, Ava. You should rest,” I said firmly.She looked at me and shook her head slightly. “But, boss, someone is at the door.”“I know,” I replied calmly. “That is exactly why you should stay here. You have been through enough already. I will get the door myself.”Ava hesitated, but after seeing the serious expression on my face, she finally nodded.“Alright, boss,” she said quietly.I gave her a small nod before turning around and walking out of the room. I closed the door behind me and started walking down the stairs.As I descended, I wo
CHAPTER 218
LEONARD'S POVThe following morning, I walked upstairs and headed toward the room where I had asked Ava to sleep after I rescued her from Big Joe and his men the previous night. I had wanted her to stay in the mansion because I did not feel comfortable allowing her to return home immediately after everything she had gone through. I reached the door and pushed it open gently. The room was quiet, but I immediately noticed that Ava was already awake. She was sitting on the bed and appeared to be lost in thought. The moment she noticed me standing at the door, she quickly straightened herself and gave me a small smile.“Good morning, boss,” Ava greeted me as she got out of bed.I sighed softly and walked farther into the room and said.. “Good morning, Ava. I came to check on you and make sure you are alright.”Ava nodded and gave me a reassuring smile and answered.“I am fine, boss. You don't have to worry about me.”I studied her face carefully. Although she said she was fine, there wa
