Chapter 93

 

But why does Leonard have such an unapproachable aura?

He felt like this person was not just a simple surgeon, what was he missing?

Leonard wanted to leave with Margaret, but just as he stepped out of the room, he heard Layla's voice behind him, "Are you all useless? Seeing him leave and not stopping him?"

Layla had recovered from her earlier fear, and now all she wanted was to punish Margaret and Leonard, so she ordered the bodyguards outside to stop them.

The bodyguards, upon hearing this, stepped in front of Margaret and Leonard.

Margaret had been living in The Thorne Villa, so she knew the bodyguards. Seeing Terry Perez standing in front of her, her face turned a bit grim.

"They want to take me back, but I haven't done anything wrong. Are you really going to help them?"

Margaret had lived in this house for over twenty years, and seeing Terry still helping Layla made her feel a bit disheartened.

She remembered that before her fallout with Layla, she had a good relationship with Terry.

"Ms. Thorne, I'm sorry, but I only listen to the Thorne Family."

In other words, Margaret was no longer considered part of the Thorne Family.

Hearing this, Margaret's eyes lowered slightly. Why was she still fantasizing about having feelings with the Thorne Family? They were all cold-blooded people without emotions.

Terry was no different from Layla.

"Sorry."

After saying this, Terry was about to pull Margaret away from Leonard, but before he could get close, Leonard kicked him away.

Leonard used all his strength in that kick, and Terry, not expecting him to act so decisively, fell to the ground in pain, unable to get up.

He had trained in combat for several years, and he didn't expect that just one kick from Leonard would make him so helpless. A look of frustration appeared on his face.

Before this, he never thought anyone could beat him, otherwise, he wouldn't have been a bodyguard for the Thorne Family.

He had heard that Margaret's husband was just a surgeon, but if he was just a surgeon, how could he have such strength?

"Terry, why are you still lying on the ground? Get up quickly."

Layla, standing behind, was furious. She didn't expect her bodyguard, whom she had raised for so many years, to be so weak, just being kicked once.

Terry gritted his teeth, trying to get up, but as soon as he moved, he felt pain all over his body, as if that kick had hit his bones.

"If you dare to come up again, you'll be waiting for an ambulance."

After saying this, Leonard coldly looked at Terry lying on the ground, his tone icy.

He didn't want to waste time here, so after confirming that Terry wouldn't get up, he strode out of The Thorne Villa.

Leonard carried Margaret to the car, turned on the air conditioning, and Margaret's body gradually warmed up.

When she regained some consciousness, she turned to look at Leonard in the driver's seat, her eyes full of grievance.

Seeing Margaret come to her senses, Leonard felt a bit relieved, but his expression was still cold, as if blaming her for going back to The Thorne Villa alone.

Margaret noticed his thoughts and pouted, pretending to be aggrieved.

"I didn't know this would happen. They tricked me back using my uncle's name. Don't be mad." She was really afraid of Leonard being angry, feeling that he got angry easily and she had to coax him.

Leonard, hearing this, felt a bit helpless, "I'm not angry."

He wasn't angry today, just heartbroken for her. If he hadn't arrived in time, he couldn't imagine what terrible things might have happened to Margaret in that room.

But it was also because of this that he realized Margaret might have some childhood trauma, "Why are you afraid of dark places?"

Margaret bit her lip and then told him about being locked in that room by Layla for a day and night without any food when she was a child.

Hearing this, Leonard felt even more heartbroken. He never knew Margaret had such a tough childhood; he always thought she grew up in a happy environment.

"How could you be so naive? They called you back, and you just went. Didn't you hear your uncle's voice or think to confirm it?"

Hearing Leonard's reproach, Margaret felt a bit sad, but she knew he was right. If she had thought it through, she wouldn't have fallen for Layla's trick today.

"I know, I didn't think it through today. Thank you for coming to save me."

After saying this, Margaret seemed to think of something and turned to him, "How did you get here so quickly?"

She remembered that from the time she called him to the time she was locked in the dark room, it was less than ten minutes. From Azure Waters Garden to The Thorne Villa, the journey alone would take about half an hour.

And he should have been at the hospital, which was even farther away, making it impossible to arrive in ten minutes.

Leonard, driving, glanced at her, "I got off work early today. When you texted me, I was already on the way."

Hearing this, Margaret was a bit surprised. Did he mean that when she texted him about having dinner at The Thorne Villa, he was already on his way?

She didn't expect him to come looking for her so proactively because before, when John invited him to dinner, he always said he was busy.

So at that time, Margaret thought he didn't want to have dinner with her uncle and the Thorne Family.

"Why did you come today? Didn't you..."

Before she could finish, Leonard interrupted her, "I didn't refuse to have dinner with your family; I was just busy those times."

He wasn't avoiding dinner; his surgeries were scheduled into the evening, making it impossible to find time to dine with her uncle.

And now, he no longer wanted to pretend with these people.

"Don't go back to The Thorne Villa anymore."

Margaret was a bit surprised. Although she didn't like Layla and Stella, John was still there. If John called her next time, she would still go back.
