This night was destined to be a sleepless night for all those in the hospital.
The blowing wind brought down the fallen leaves, covering the path to the hospital's garden. The tree branches in the garden rustled in the strong wind.
In the faint yellow light of the garden lamp, two n were seen standing. One of them had an athletic build, while the other was muscular and sturdy.
Leonard and Jean stood face to face, with a cigarette in their hands. For a few monts, the two of them just smoked in silence.
"Thank you very much," Leonard was the first to break the silence. "For helping us this ti,"
Leonard looked at the cold and mature man before him. His gaze was filled with appreciation and admiration for Jean. Before this, he didn't know much about the Widjaya Family's fourth son. Leonard had only heard rumors regarding the man's arrogant and cold attitude, but he was never interested in finding out any further.
But after tonight, his opinion of Jean changed one hundred and eighty degrees. Indeed, Jean was an arrogant man with a cold upbringing. Even so, he had a kind heart behind it all. Jean had helped him a lot tonight, asking nothing in return.
Even though Jean might be doing this just for the sake of his wife, Leonard still appreciated the man's help.
Jean put the cigarette to his lips. After smoking his cigarette, Jean exhaled the white smoke and said in a cold tone, "No, I'm not helping you. I'm doing it for Lilia,"
Even though the man sounded cold, Leonard gave a small smile. He nodded with an understanding expression. "I know. But consider it a thank you from the Adler Family," Leonard said. "If there's anything I can do to repay your kindness, just tell ."
When he heard that, Jean raised his thick eyebrows. "Oh? I heard that in the Adler family, the wife of the heir had to be strictly screened. How confident are you that llisa can et your family's criteria?"
Leonard was stunned by Jean's words. He didn't expect that the man before him would know about that. The information network belonging to the fourth son of the Widjaya family really couldn't be underestimated. He even knew of the Adler Family's requirents to choose a wife though they had disappeared from the public eye for a long ti.
Leonard looked at the man closely. After a while, Leonard finally dropped his cigarette on the ground and stomped it off.
"I won't worry about that," Leonard replied casually. "llisa is an amazing woman, so she will be fine. Besides, if my family can't accept llisa, then they only need to change their heir,"
A chuckle escaped Jean's lips when he heard Leonard's answer. That's what Jean would do if he were in that man's position. It seed the two of them could beco close friends because of their similarity in character.
"Why are you asking that?" Leonard raised an eyebrow. "Are you worried that the Adler Family will make things difficult for llisa?"
After Leonard finished speaking, he saw the man shake his head gently. Then Jean turned his gaze towards the hospital building— to be precise, towards llisa's room.
"If llisa is sad, then my wife will be sad too," Jean said dryly. The man didn't notice, but the corner of his mouth lifted into a gentle smile as he talked about Lilia. "You said sothing about paying back. You can do this by keeping llisa happy. Isn't that simple?"
Leonard stared at Jean in shock. He knew that this man was also protective of won, just like Leonard himself. But he didn't expect that Jean was more of an overprotective person than him!
The fourth son of the Widjaya Family anticipated everything and arranged so that nothing could interfere with Lilia's happiness. Leonard wondered if he too could go that far for llisa's sake.
The two of them exchanged a few more words before they decided to head back inside the hospital. Although they only had a brief conversation, the two n felt they could understand each other better.
When they arrived outside the ward, only Andrew was standing alone at the door. Leonard peeked into the ward through the glass door.
He saw llisa on the bed still closing her eyes as if she was fast asleep. Lilia and Claire stood to one side, while Mike sat on the chair beside the bed. Andrew's brother was seen linking his finger with llisa's while muttering to himself with red eyes.
Leonard couldn't hear what Mike was talking about from outside the door. But as a man, he could feel Mike's intense and obsessive love for llisa. For Mike, the woman must have been more than just a childhood friend who had long since disappeared from his life.
Andrew turned his head when he heard their footsteps. His gaze fell on his classmate and he imdiately rembered the thing he had wanted to ask earlier.
"Leo, tell the truth," Andrew stepped forward and grabbed the man's shoulders. His face was very serious, as if he was discussing sothing that could define a person's life. "Actually, what is it between you and llisa? What's your relationship?"
Leonard sighed. He got tense and thought that Andrew was going to ask sothing serious, but apparently his friend just wanted to talk about this.
"She is my woman," Leonard replied firmly in an indisputable tone.
"Wait a minute, what did you say?!" Andrew was shaking Leonard's shoulders. However, due to his body being smaller than Leonard's, that man was not moving at all. "You're kidding, right?! Tell you are just kidding!"
"I'm very serious. One hundred percent serious," Leonard replied calmly.
"Screw you!" Andrew shrugged Leonard's shoulders and ran a finger through his hair in a frustrated expression. "When did it happen? Didn't you guys first et at the police station not long ago? Then how co your relationship grows this fast?!" Demand Andrew.
He vaguely rembered that the two of them didn't even say anything back then. How long would it take for Leonard to make llisa officially beco his wife?
"No, we t a long ti before that," Leonard replied shortly.
Leonard didn't give too much explanation, but Andrew could see the seriousness in his friend's eyes. The man was not joking about his feelings for llisa.
Andrew didn't know what else to do so he automatically turned his head towards Jean. "Jean, have you known about this for a long ti too?" He asked.
Jean looked at his brother-in-law calmly. "A few hours before you,"
Andrew automatically sighed when he heard that answer. At the very least, he wasn't the only one who didn't know about Leonard and llisa's relationship. However, this didn't change the fact that Andrew was in a very difficult position right now.
His best friend from college had fallen in love with the sa woman who was also loved by his own younger brother. Who designed the plot of this cheap drama series?! Why did he have to be caught between those two n?!
Andrew sighed again and resisted the temptation to massage his aching head. He didn't know how else to deal with this! Was Andrew really destined to have such a dilemma that he had to choose between his friend and his own little brother?
