Then, trembling, he pleaded, “Miss Meredith, please… I know I was wrong. I won’t dare anymore… I’ll be a dog of the Meredith family from now on, you…”
“Enough, I can forgive you easily, but you should ask Dr. Bloomer if he forgives you,” Marina furrowed her brow, feeling a bit impatient.
“Dr. Bloomer, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please forgive me,” Albie quickly crawled on his knees in front of Leo, pleading.
“Mr. Powell, I dare not. After all, in the eyes of your family, I’m nothing,” Leo said calmly.
“No, no, Dr. Bloomer, I misspoke. It’s the Powell family that’s nothing!” Albie panicked.
Sandra couldn’t help but burst into laughter. If the elders of the Powell family found out, they would probably beat Albie to death.
Leo also couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “Get lost.”
“Thank you, thank you,” Albie got up from the ground, covered in cold sweat.
“Albie, remember, you’re not allowed to breathe a word about meeting our young lady, or I’ll tell our young master about today’s events!” Sandra coldly threatened.
“Yes, yes,” Albie nodded repeatedly and then quickly grabbed his documents and ran off.
“Miss Meredith, you shouldn’t have come out,” Leo sighed softly after Albie left.
“I couldn’t help it. I was afraid you would fall for his tricks,” Marina whispered.
“Don’t worry, he won’t dare say anything,” Sandra said confidently, “Most of the big shots in the capital are afraid of our young master.”
“Oh, by the way, Miss Meredith, there’s something I’ve been wanting to ask you.” Leo took out his phone from his pocket. “Last night, you sent me a photo. What did it mean?”
On Leo’s phone screen was a photo of a middle-aged man who bore some resemblance to Leo.
“Dr. Bloomer, what do you think?” Marina didn’t answer directly but asked in return.
“I know I look somewhat like him, but I don’t quite understand what you mean,” Leo replied.
“From what I know, your parents abandoned you when you were five, right?”
“They disappeared,” Leo corrected.
“Fine, disappeared. Do you remember what your father looked like?” Marina asked.
Leo thought for a moment and shook his head.
Not only did he not remember his parents’ appearance, but he didn’t even have a photo of them. His grandmother rarely mentioned his parents after he grew up and started understanding things. It seemed that his memories before the age of five were completely blank.
“Dr. Bloomer, have you ever heard of the Bloomer family in the capital?” Marina changed the topic and asked.
“The Bloomer family in the capital?” Leo was slightly surprised but shook his head. “No.”
However, when he heard the name “Bloomer,” Leo’s heart skipped a beat. After all, the surname Bloomer was the same as his own.
“Could it be that person has the surname Bloomer?” Leo suddenly regained his senses and understood Marina’s meaning, pointing at the person on the phone with astonishment.
“Yes, that person is the second master of the Bloomer family. He had a son who disappeared at a young age,” Marina explained.
“Are you suggesting that the missing child is me!?” Leo exclaimed in astonishment.
Immediately, Leo shook his head and said, “It’s impossible. I’ve never gone missing. I’ve always been with my grandmother. If I were really his son, he wouldn’t have failed to come find me!”
Marina continued, “Actually, I’m not sure about your relationship with the second master of the Bloomer family. It’s said that the missing child was found but had already drowned.”
“Dr. Bloomer, when I saw you, I thought you looked very much like the second master of the Bloomer family, so I sent you the photo to show you.”
“Dr. Bloomer, I think you should go to the capital. Maybe you can find your own parents…”
“Mr. Bloomer, something’s not right. A group of people has arrived outside,” Chasel rushed in before Marina could finish speaking.
“Who are they?” Leo frowned and asked.
“I don’t know, but they don’t look friendly,” Chasel instinctively glanced at Marina and Sandra. “Could it be that Mr. Powell betrayed us?”
Upon hearing Chasel’s words, Marina and Sandra couldn’t help but panic, fearing that they were being sought after.
“Don’t worry, we don’t know who they are yet. Let’s go out and see.” Leo comforted Marina and led them to the lobby.
In the clinic lobby, there were more than ten men dressed in black. Judging from their imposing aura, they were not ordinary people.
Seeing this scene, the patients had already been scared off and fled.
The leading man was in his forties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a gray striped suit and a stubble beard. He exuded a distinguished air.
Marina and Sandra’s expressions instantly changed when they saw this man, especially Marina. Her originally lively eyes dimmed in an instant.
She seemed to have already seen her future fate.
“Miss, I’ve come to pick you up,” the man in the suit said respectfully, his tone carrying an irresistible authority.
Marina’s slender eyelashes trembled, and she turned to Leo and said, “Dr. Bloomer, thank you for your care. It’s a great kindness, and I can only repay it in the future when I have the chance.”
“Miss Meredith, do you want to leave?” Leo smiled as he looked at her.
“It’s not a matter of whether I want to or not anymore,” Marina smiled lightly, filled with profound sadness.
“Miss Meredith, this isn’t the capital. This is Langstel, the Nameless Clinic, my territory! You are my guest. If you want to leave, I will naturally see you off. If you want to stay, no matter who comes, they won’t be able to take you away!”
Although Leo’s voice wasn’t loud, it was unquestionably firm, filled with immense confidence.
The man in the suit’s face changed dramatically upon hearing Leo’s words.
Provocation!
Definitely provocation!
He brought so many people here, and Leo actually said that no one could take Marina away?
It was truly boundless arrogance!
The man in the suit sneered inwardly. In all his years of serving the Meredith family, this was the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard.
When he entered the room earlier, he had already assessed the potential risks present, and apart from Chasel, there was no threat in the room.
Especially Leo, who appeared thin and weak. He could easily handle ten of such people!
The man in the suit wasn’t being conceited. He had been the Meredith family’s bodyguard for twenty years, gradually rising to become the Head of Security. He had faced countless hardships along the way.
If he didn’t possess exceptional skills, he wouldn’t have survived until now.
Although his physical condition was not as good as when he was young, his combat abilities were still terrifying to ordinary people.
“Miss, let’s go. Your father and grandfather are very worried about you.” The man in the suit ignored Leo and urged Marina respectfully once again.
“I’ve already said it. Miss Meredith is my guest. She can stay here as long as she wants,” Leo turned his head and glanced at the man in the suit, speaking in a calm tone.
