Leen’s gare locked onto him
Les maintained a calm exterior, but internally, he was on edge.
“Make sure the surgery is done well,” Leon finally said, standing up.
His eyes swept over the naby medal tools before adding coldly, “I don’t want today’s situation to happen again”
“Understood,” Leslie quickly replied. He discreetly tidied up the medical tools.
After leaving the hospital, Leon immediately called Henry “What is she doing now?”
“Looking for a place to stay,” Henry reported.
Leon’s expression darkened slightly. He gave a few instructions before hanging up.
