William Hall had always been fond of his youngest son Leo Hall; he didn’t want to be like Harry Hall, who was never close to him and always wore a distant expression when they t.
He never shared his problems either.
But Leo was different; he was a good son. Since Leo was little, William had liked to hold him, tell him stories, and teach him knowledge.
It’s fair to say that he raised this son himself.
When Leo laughed, it was clean and harmless, which allowed William, who was used to the deceit of the business world, to entirely relax just by seeing him show his tiger teeth in a smile.
He could hardly ever recall reprimanding Leo, and now as he pointed at him, he couldn’t find a word to scold him for a long ti.
Leo still wore a smile, but William felt sothing different about his son.
In the end, he just couldn’t bring himself to do it.
Instead, it was Mia Brown who could no longer hold back, and as she looked at his injured arm, she urged anxiously:
"Just speak up, what did you do to make your dad so mad?"
But Leo shrugged nonchalantly and said:
"I’ve always only done good deeds; I wonder if doing good can make dad mad?"
As he spoke, the corners of his lips lifted, revealing a perfectly crafted smile.
Seeing him like this, Mia was also very anxious.
Now their rivalry with Harry Hall over the Hall Clan was an open affair, and making William upset at this ti was not a good thing for her son.
William watched his son act mischievously and felt a bit annoyed.
Without waiting for him to speak, he directly asked: "Why did you save Elly Campbell?"
Hearing this, Leo’s face showed an expression as if he suddenly understood, "Ah! So that’s what dad is talking about."
William snorted coldly but said nothing.
"I just saw the chance and saved her, I didn’t realize it was Elly Campbell."
"Quite the selfless hero you are."
William snorted coldly again, but he actually didn’t doubt Leo’s words.
After all, he couldn’t think of any reason why his son would go out of his way to save Elly Campbell.
His face softened a bit, but then the thought of his carefully orchestrated "accident" being ruined by this damn kid made him seethe.
Leo saw the expression on his face and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes as they lowered.
Mia, however, was shocked by the conversation between father and son.
She had heard about the car accident near First Hospital from the news but did not know her son was at the scene at the ti, much less that the young man praised for saving lives in the news was her own son.
And the woman her son had saved turned out to be Adam Jones’s wife.
Mia didn’t believe her son had intentionally saved Elly, rather she thought it was his inherently good nature that made him want to save people at the spur of the mont.
Recalling the perilous car accident made Mia’s heart pound; looking at Leo’s arm in a plaster cast, she firmly slapped his other healthy arm, "Are you trying to scare to death?"
Her eyes began to redden as she spoke, "Mom only has you for a son, you’re thinking about risking your life to save soone else, but did you think about your mom? If sothing had happened to you, what would I have done?"
Facing his mother’s grief, Leo seed unmoved, as if the person before him wasn’t really his own mother.
Still, he reassuringly said with a guileless face:
"Mom, I know I was wrong, I won’t do it again next ti, don’t be sad. If you’re sad, I’ll be sad too."
