Chapter 26: 26:Increase In Su Lin's Affection
[You have increased your favorability in Su Lin's eyes while decreasing Seph Greymore's impression. You have gained 2 counterattack points.]
Leon looked up at the white ceiling, feeling weird about what transversed.
"Now what is this? Isn't this a cultivation world so why didn't they just give me a pill or panacea that can cure me easily?"Leon grumbled looking at the bandages on his stomach.
He planned to pretend unconscious so that Seph would let the matter go as villains generally don't bother with ants unless you crawl before them but Su Lin just made the matter bigger.
"The only positive thing about this whole incident is that Seph had yet to purchase medical skills. If he had grandmaster-level medical skills then he would have surely known that I was pretending which also means the divine doctor route hasn't started."
Out of all, Leon was only afraid of the Divine Doctor in a way.
"However, I am sure that Seph must have a hand in poisoning me along with that bitch."
Leon wasn't lazing around in the break. He had hacked his stepmother's along with her friend circle smartphones and installed spyware that also recorded her activity and tracked her.
He had been tracking her and found that she planned to get rid of him so that she could make her son inherit this after she gave birth to a boy.
Leon's mind started running wild with crazy thoughts.
"I hope this event is circulated in the society."
"It's going to be fun, hehe!"
"You are already awake."
Leon's smile cracked upon hearing a smooth pleasant voice.
"Miss Su, don't you have work or classes? Why are you here?"
"I just came to check you up."Su Lin answered with a slight blush.
During the check-up, she caught a glimpse of Leon's chiseled abs and muscular chest. Remembering this, her face heated up in shame. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
'Stop it, Su Lin! He is your student.'
"I just came to check on you, Leon."
"I am fine and I have to go."Leon hastily pulled off the IV drips and got up.
"What are you doing? You need rest."Su Lin came close and held Leon's shoulder to push him back.
Su Lin glanced at Leon fading back.
It was desolate and lonesome making her pity him.
Leon's words rang in her mind and she realized that if she just pushed forward blindly might get troublesome.
"Am I just a helpless teacher?''She spoke softly but Leon managed to hear this.
Leon who heard this laughed in amusement.
'You aren't a helpless teacher but rather a helpless woman who will either fall for the protagonist or the villain. Death would be mercy for you as with that curvy voluptuous sinful body, none would bear to kill you and use your body to satisfy your lust either by love or by force.'
.......
In Aurorica.
A storm blew around, creating gusts of waves causing havoc in the house.
"Madam, calm down."
"Lady Irina, he is alright."
Irina's heart surged with emotions as he saw the pics in her hand.
It was a picture of her son Leon along with all the details of what her son had gone through after going back.
He became a drinker after breaking off the engagement. He spent his days in bars, pubs, and casinos to fill that void.
After enrolling, he finally found someone to fill his heart but a week after the girl's mother married her ex-husband and became Leon's mother.
Leon though heartbroken, still tried to make her fall in love with him as in big families marriages happen even though people are related by blood while his stepsister wasn't blood-related.
But this changed when Seph Greymore came into the picture. Offended by Leon's persistence, he beats him to death and throws him into the trash.
But Leon, who seemed to have gone crazy, refused to let go and the new stepmother used this as an advantage to throw him out.
There were pictures of slim, skinny Leon's miserable appearance that made his heart wrench in despair. Though he has recovered now, how can she let go of this?
And the private detective she hired to keep tabs on him reported to him about today's incident of Leon getting beaten again.
Irina who was lost in thought held the pic and was suddenly startled when the pic was snatched up.
"Brother...My brother...He is alive.."
