Chapter 837 - For Myself And For Leonard!
Kevin didn't understand the story behind it, but heard little that the successive heirs of the Adler family could never do anything about choosing his future wife.
He saw the gradually erratic gaze of Leonhart, and as he stood behind him, his eyes lowered undisturbed……
Downstairs, Mellisa and the old butler were waiting for Leonard at the artificial river.
Perhaps, since she was taken away by the man's surprise today, the old butler continued to stare at her. "Hey, are you really okay?"
Mellisa understood the butler's concern, and she shook her head with a smile. "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"You're really scary. You have no idea that the young master nearly destroyed his master bedroom when he heard the news that you were taken away. His leg was in bad shape, so he almost dragged himself down the stairs just to come save you. Next time, wherever you go, you must tell me! Remember, I will send our own bodyguards to escort you just in case."
Mellisa was silent for a moment and nodded kindly. "Okay, I won't do it again."
She didn't expect that being taken away by the Patriarch would cause Leonard to react so much.
Although this moved her heart, she couldn't help being surprised that their father-daughter relationship was exactly the same.
Mellisa subconsciously squeezed the paper bag in her hand, and silently made up her mind.
Despite Leonard's current health, she would definitely fight for the position of the Adler family's wife in the future.
'For myself and for Leonard!'
Since there was no one in this world who wanted to stand by her side, she would let go of all problems and walk with him.
At this moment, the old butler noticed the paper bag in Mellisa's hand. He took a closer look, and unexpectedly smelled a hint of herbal medicine. "What medicine are you taking? Are you sick?"
Mellisa immediately looked at the paper bag in her hand. "I'm not injured. This is…… medicine for the young master."
Hearing this, the old butler almost burst into tears.
He pressed the corners of his mouth and looked at Mellisa with great relief. "You really are a kind-hearted person, it's not in vain that the young master values ??you so much. If he finds out, he will also be very happy!"
Mellisa shook her head along the way. "But I don't know if this will be useful. This is a prescription given by a friend, I heard this medicine can treat eyes. Then I immediately bought it for the young master. Maybe this will help him a little."
The old butler wiped his tears and was about to speak, but he saw Leonard had come out of the hall.
"Young master, walk slowly!"
The butler pushed the wheelchair forward, and before he got any closer, he heard him speak in a low voice. "You go back first, I need to have a private talk with him."
"This…"
The butler hesitated a little, but he caught Leonard's angry expression, so he changed hands and handed the wheelchair to Mellisa. "Then I'll be back first. Son, hold the young master firmly, he still needs help. If there is a problem, contact me anytime."
Mellisa nodded in agreement, then the butler took the guards to leave.
Right now, in front of the beautiful flower garden, Mellisa was carrying her paper bag while holding Leonard's wheelchair.
It seemed that after she had no intention of continuing to run away, she could deal with all her feelings more calmly.
Leonard smiled at her, then spread his palms out to her. "Come here."
Mellisa was in a daze for a moment, but then she walked forward and grabbed his wrist. "Young master… Your eyes… have improved a bit?"
She didn't know if it was an illusion, she only felt that Leonard's eyes were fixed on him impartially.
If he couldn't see, how could he find his location accurately?!
Leonard descended the stairs with his strength, and raised his hand to straighten the frame of his glasses. "I can only see light and shadows, others cannot be seen clearly"
Leonard's explanation dispelled Mellisa's suspicion.
He helped Leonard walk out of the gate, and the falling sun cast a shadow as they were on the ground.
The Adler Family Castle was immersed in the light, and the treetops were also dyed golden by the setting sun.
Neither of them spoke.
After walking alone for a few minutes quietly, Leonard asked in a deep voice, "What were you two talking about?"
Mellisa looked at the man's face from the side. "The patriarch asked me about your physical condition and asked if I was okay. He sounded very concerned about you."
Leonard fixed his wavy brows, clearly he couldn't believe it. "And?"
"Ah." Melisa seemed to have guessed Leonard's suspicions, so she added. "He also advised me on what I did to Miss Lyn."
Hearing Lyn's name, Leonard sneered even more. "Don't listen to his advice, just treat Lyn appropriately and you can do whatever you want with her."
Melissa heard the contempt and derision in his tone, she raised her eyes to the sky. "The relationship between the young master and the Patriarch…. Does Miss Lyn somewhat contribute to it?"
Leonard's voice felt chaotic as he heard it. "No, you will know it after some time later."
"That's……"
Mellisa still vaguely wanted to find out more about Leonard. But just as the words were still on her lips, the sound of a caddy car came from behind her.
"Brother? How come you can walk so fast?!" The visitor was none other than Luke, Leonard's competitor in the fight for heir.
Melissa tightened Leonard's wrist slightly, she turned and looked at the caddy car. She frowned, and quietly moved her steps in front of Leonard.
In the car, Luke and another middle-aged man sat steadily.
They both narrowed their eyes at Leonard and Melisa, and looked around them for a moment before the middle-aged man said, "Leonard, since your leg still hurts, it's best if I send you back to your building."
This person, Lockhart Adler, was the second young master of the Adler family. Lockhart lost the competition to Leonhart for the Patriarch position.
He is also none other than Luke's father.
At this moment, Leonard calmly pulled Melisa to his side, facing the caddy and nonchalantly refusing. "No, thanks for your kindness."
Lockhart laughed loudly upon hearing this. "Then, at least let my son help you to walk."
"Dad, you don't know, the eldest brother misunderstood me, I guess…… he doesn't want me to walk with him."
Leonard's expression remained calm. "If you know, at least you're not as stupid as I thought."
Luke's proud expression froze for a moment, he calmly looked at Leonard. "Your appearance now reminds me of a saying."
"What kind of a saying?" Lockhart answered immediately.
In this scene, the father and son are seen holding the same grudge.
Luke was sitting in the caddy with his arms on the armrests and legs tilted up. "Father, do you think the term "disability and aspiration" fits the older brother particularly?"
"Hahaha, kid, what are you talking about? Are you telling the truth?" Lockhart laughed loudly, then averted his gaze. "Leonard, don't take it to heart, my son just wanted to joke with you. Since you don't need my help to get home, then we will go first."
"Tonight, the seven big families in Bandung are invited to gather in a dinner banquet…… But with your condition like this, you'd better not go. Don't let people see this pathetic figure of the Adler family's successor, otherwise our family will be laughed at for seven nights!"
