Chapter 1419: 1419. Leo Hall is too difficult to understand
Elly Campbell paid no attention to his complint and simply said, “The hospital is just next door, go in and get an X-ray to check.”
“Is sister-in-law coming with ?”
Leo Hall looked at her expectantly and asked.
Elly Campbell gave him an indifferent glance. Out of responsibility for her lifesaver, she naturally couldn’t just leave him be, so she nodded her agreent.
There were a lot of people in the orthopedics departnt, and Elly Campbell did not let Leo Hall cut the queue, but honestly waited in line outside.
Leo Hall glanced at the dense crowd in front of him and muttered:
“Sister-in-law, didn’t you say that the head of orthopedics is your friend? Why not let us jump the queue?”
“Shut up! Where did you learn these bad habits? Wait in line honestly here.”
“Oh.”
Leo Hall, scolded with a cold face by Elly Campbell, wasn’t angry and really just sat down obediently waiting.
Elly Campbell was still thinking about the events of the day: her tire was scraped, she was nearly hit by a car, and it just so happened that she was saved by Leo Hall. It wasn’t that she saw people too negatively, but the overt and covert battles within wealthy families were as cruel as any battlefield.
Sotis, to achieve their goals, people would resort to any ans necessary.
After so thought, she turned to look at Leo Hall, and asked, “Why were you at the hospital?”
Leo Hall’s obedient face stiffened slightly, and then he looked at her, revealing a sullenness different from his previous obedience.
“Are you suspecting that I am up to no good, sister-in-law?”
Elly Campbell did not answer, which was a clear admission.
Leo Hall was not angry, instead, he revealed a hurt expression and said:
“You are a friend of my future sister-in-law, and it’s right that you stand with my elder brother, but you can’t be so malicious in your assumptions about .”
Elly Campbell thought he would leave in anger; whether the incident was an accident or truly related to him, at least for appearances, he should show anger from being suspected.
But he didn’t. From start to finish, he maintained the deanor of a well-behaved child, appearing hurt and aggrieved when questioned, like a lamb without temper.
Many in the business community had seen Leo Hall, after all, his father, William Hall, was so committed to building up a network for his younger son.
These people, each a wily old fox in the business world, all praised William Hall’s illegitimate son for being genuinely nice, humble, untempered, and sweet-talking.
Thus, even so legitimate wives, despite looking down on mistresses, surprisingly had good things to say about Leo Hall.
They did not take their anger out on Leo Hall simply because his mother was a mistress.
There are only two possibilities: either Leo Hall’s nature really is nice and he has a good temper.
After all, not all illegitimate children necessarily lack moral principles, character, or ethics.
The other possibility is that Leo Hall is just very good at hiding and pretending, to the extent that no one can truly grasp what kind of person he is.
If it’s the latter, then Leo Hall is a frightening person.
Seeing that Elly Campbell remained silent and did not speak, Leo Hall didn’t rush her.
His eyes narrowed, and the once clear irises were now replaced by darkness; his perfectly shaped lips slowly curled into an almost imperceptible sinister smile.
“Why did you think to save ?”
Elly Campbell suddenly asked him.
Keep in mind, when the car was coming at that speed, there was really no ti to react.
To make an accurate judgnt in that instant about where the car would hit is simply impossible.
