The change in attitude from the Henley family relatives finally relieved Jessica of her frustration. Leo had finally saved face for her.
“Leo, that child is good friends with Langstel’s billionaire Harry Toby. It’s just that Leo is usually low-key and doesn’t like to show off. He is always obedient to me at home…” Jessica rarely praised Leo, but why did these words sound so grating to the Henley family relatives’ ears?
Outside the private room, Harry spoke solemnly, “Mr. Bloomer, I was actually planning to call you later today, but unexpectedly, I ran into you here. I have a favor to ask.”
“Mr. Toby, just call me Leo. What’s the matter?” Leo replied.
“It’s like this, my wife and child have some health issues. We’ve been to the hospital many times, but they haven’t gotten better. So, I was wondering if you could come to my house and take a look at them.” Harry directly stated his purpose.
Leo nodded, “No problem. Let me know the time.”
“Tomorrow morning, if you’re available?” Harry was anxious, as it concerned the health of his wife and child.
“Then tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock,” Leo replied.
“Where do you live? I’ll come to pick you up tomorrow morning.” Harry asked.
Leo gave him the address of the Henley family’s mansion.
After discussing the matter, Leo returned to the private room.
The difference in others’ attitude towards him was too drastic. The Henley family’s relatives, who had previously mocked and ridiculed Leo, suddenly became friendly. Their concern made Leo occasionally feel uncomfortable.
Merry’s son stood up, picked up his glass, and looked at Leo. “Brother-in-law, I never expected that you would know Langstel’s billionaire. From today onwards, you’re my idol. I’ll toast to you.”
Leo exchanged a few pleasantries and clinked glasses with him.
At this time, Max was extremely dejected. Something must have happened when Leo left just now. The exquisite gift box was left untouched on the side, with no one sparing it a glance.
After the meal, Martin’s sisters personally saw them off to the car. Merry’s son also brought a whole trunk of local specialties; it was unclear where this guy had gotten them from.
The happiest person today was Jessica. She finally felt a sense of relief after a long time, and her heart was truly at ease.
On the way back home, Leo was still the one driving.
Sitting in the backseat, Martin couldn’t help but ask, “Leo, how did you know that the porcelain cup was a fake?”
“I guessed,” Leo replied.
“Guessed?” Martin clearly didn’t expect Leo to answer like that.
“Ha, trying to play mysterious!” Tina sneered. Ever since Leo came to the Henley family, she had looked down on this interloper.
“Max’s family background is just average. Although he recently got promoted in the government, it’s impossible for him to come up with over four million. Even if he could come up with over four million, he wouldn’t buy such an expensive birthday gift for someone.” Leo explained.
Martin nodded in agreement, “Makes sense.”
“Leo, no matter what, you did well today. Keep up the good work in the future,” Jessica encouraged.
In Leo’s impression, this was the first time his mother-in-law had praised him, but why didn’t he feel the slightest excitement?
After returning, Jessica unusually didn’t let Leo do any housework and instead told him and Sophia to rest early.
The hidden meaning was probably about what Martin had mentioned earlier-about wanting grandchildren.
Leo’s slightly elevated status didn’t sit well with Tina, and she thought to herself, “I don’t know what lucky streak this loser has been on these past few days. No, for the sake of my sister’s happiness, I must make him leave our family voluntarily!”
Although Martin wanted to have grandchildren, Leo didn’t think Sophia would agree to that. So, after going upstairs, he went straight to his own bedroom.
As for divorcing if they wouldn’t have a baby, it suited Leo just fine.
Thinking about going to Harry’s house tomorrow to help him with his wife and child’s illness, Leo took a shower and lay down on the bed.
He let out a long yawn and quickly felt drowsy, entering the realm of dreams…
The next morning, Leo informed Sophia about his plan today and asked her to drive to work by herself while he waited for Harry to arrive.
At this time, Harry was rushing to the Henley family’s mansion. He had slept poorly all night because his wife and child’s condition had worsened.
At around 1 am, his daughter fell into a coma, so Harry quickly rushed her to the hospital.
After a series of tests, the hospital couldn’t find out what was wrong with his daughter.
What was even stranger was that at around 2 am, his daughter woke up from the coma on her own and returned to a normal state.
Helpless, Harry had no choice but to bring his daughter back home.
At around 8 am, after a restless night, his daughter finally fell asleep under his and his wife’s comforting. Only then did Harry leave to go to the place Leo mentioned yesterday.
Around 9 am, Harry arrived at the entrance of the Henley family mansion. He took out his phone and called Leo.
Leo came out of the mansion and saw Harry waiting by the car. Judging from his appearance, he seemed a bit listless.
As Leo was about to get in the car, he suddenly felt a slight aura of strangeness emanating from Harry.
Leo quickly activated his spiritual power and focused it into his eyes, examining Harry once again.
With this look, Leo unexpectedly discovered a faint blackness in Harry’s eyebrows, and it was precisely this faint blackness that gave Leo a sense of eeriness.
Could it be that there was something unclean in Harry’s house?
Leo speculated in his mind.
“Mr. Bloomer, is there something on me?” Harry asked, noticing Leo’s strange gaze.
Leo opened the car door and said, “It’s nothing. Let’s go.”
Harry’s house was also a standalone mansion nestled by mountains and waters. The environment was much better than that of the Henley family mansion.
As soon as they entered the mansion’s hall, Leo heard a whimpering sound, as if it was the wind’s mournful cry.
“Mr. Toby, did you hear anything?” Leo asked.
Harry looked confused, “No.”
Harry thought Leo was acting strangely today, which made him suspicious as well.
“Take me to see your wife and child,” Leo said.
“Follow me,” Harry replied and led Leo to the second floor.
As they walked towards a bedroom door, Leo’s ears picked up the sound of crying. Although it was broad daylight, the sound still sent shivers down Leo’s spine.
Naturally, Harry heard the crying too and was taken aback. “It sounds like my wife is crying. How could it be this kind of sound…”
A chill ran down Harry’s spine, and he reached out to open the bedroom door.
