“William?”
When Renee saw him, she was shell-shocked.
She thought that such a scumbag like him should disappear from Leia’s world. Unexpectedly, he’d be so bold to appear again.
When Renee recalled Lei’s bad deeds, she was fuming with anger. So, she grabbed his collar. “You’re still alive? Why do you
pester Lei again? If you’re courting death, let me help you!”
“Miss Everheart, I know that you have powerful means. You can kill anyone you want. I’m not the first, nor will I be the last. Go
ahead if it makes Lei happy!” William closed his eyes and said with a profound meaning.
Renee was confused.
She intensified her grasp and frowned deeply. At the same time, she glared at the man in front of her as though he was courting
death. “What do you mean? Why do you make me sound so ruthless and bloodthirsty? Why claim that you won’t be the first nor
the last one?”
William was strangled by her grasp around his collar, so he found it hard to breathe. As a result, his face flushed. He said
gradually, “I’m sure you know what I meant. Leia is still around, so it’s inconvenient for me to say that directly. Well, it’s better that
only both you and I are aware of some affairs.”
“Nonsense!”
When Renee saw that he was about to die out of breath, she let him go and smashed him on the ground hard.
William awkwardly crawled back up and walked to Leia to inspect her desensitization.
“Don’t worry. Sleep well. Your face will be cured after you wake up tomorrow.”
He sounded extremely gentle. His gaze was very tender too.
“If I’ll be cured tomorrow, why should I stay in the hospital for a week?” Leia inquired aloofly. She would not even want to talk to
him if she did not trust his medical skills.
“Your allergic reaction is too serious, and it may recur. If you accidentally get in touch with something you’re allergic to this week,
you may be in grave danger. So, this one week shall serve as an observation as well as a ninjanovel.com protection period. You
should stay here patiently until the week is over.”
“All right. I’ll stay here for a week then. Please leave if there’s nothing else. Don’t disturb my bestie and me. We want to chat.”
Leia rudely drove him away. She was no longer shy and pure like how she was back then when she was madly in love with him.
She exuded deep aloofness and disdain.
“Okay, well... I won’t disturb you guys.”
After swallowing briefly, he appeared like he had suffered a great setback. He then secretly left the ward.
After he left, Renee gave Leia a thumbs-up. “Lei, you’re good. You can let things go if you want to. You’re straightforward.”
She always thought that Leia was a stubborn lovestruck fool and that Leia would always be immersed in that disappointing love.
After all, she and William were so madly in love in the past...
Unexpectedly, she could forget about him so fast. Hence, Renee could not help admiring Leia.
Leia smiled lightly. “It’s not that I’m straightforward, but the substitute is more than charming...”
“Substitute?”
Renee appeared curious. “Tell me. How charming is the substitute you found?”
