CHAPTER 337: CHAPTER 337: SHAMELESS

"Are you okay?"

The sudden concern made Julia feel both surprised and touched.

Kyle was right. Leon cared for her deeply, and because of Ivana’s appearance, Leon Keane was forced into a position where he didn’t want to hurt her, so he restrained his feelings for her.

"I..." She wanted to say she was fine.

Kyle spoke up first, "Mr. Kane, my sister was tied up in my hospital room. When I found her, someone had stuffed a stinky sock in her mouth. The person who kidnapped my sister is really wicked to do such a disgusting thing."

Kyle’s voice choked; his talent for acting seemed innate.

Julia didn’t speak; facing Leon Keane, she felt a bit nervous and couldn’t react as quickly as Kyle did.

She suddenly felt like Kyle was her godsend helper.

"As long as you’re okay."

Leon Keane breathed a sigh of relief.

Julia’s fair cheeks turned red.

Leon Keane didn’t look at her; his gaze swept past Julia and landed on Kyle, "My phone is missing. Kyle, did you see it?"

The phone was right on Kyle.

"Is this your phone, Mr. Kane?"

Kyle fished the phone out of his pocket and handed it back to Leon Keane, secretly glad that he’d already deleted the call log with Ivana. Now that the phone was back in Mr. Kane’s hands, he wouldn’t find anything amiss.

When Mr. Kane went home later, if Ivana argued with him, she’d firmly pin the blame on Mr. Kane. Nobody would suspect him, because he had used Leon Keane’s voice to speak.

Besides his sister, even Jack Quinn didn’t know about his ventriloquism.

Let alone Leon Keane.

"It’s mine."

Leon Keane took a few large steps, went up to Kyle, and took back the phone.

He swiped open the black screen and saw several missed calls from Ivana. He immediately called back because he had delayed so long looking for Julia that his wife was worried.

Ivana didn’t answer.

Leon Keane frowned. Was she angry?

Leon Keane didn’t call again. He put his phone away, planning to go to the clinic and see Ivana, then explain to her.

"I have something to do, I’ll go first."

Leon Keane didn’t say much nonsense to Julia and Kyle before turning and striding out of the hospital room.

"Mr. Kane..." Kyle spoke, wanting to make him stay.

But Leon Keane seemed not to hear, as long as Julia was okay. He had already spent too much time at Huashan and couldn’t stay any longer.

So, there was no need to linger.

Kyle was completely ignored by Leon Keane, and the words of retention that were about to spill from his throat suddenly got stuck.

Voicing them might not keep Mr. Kane, and it would only make his sister sad and upset.

Kyle clenched his fingers, his eyes welling up.

What did Mr. Kane mean by this? Did he not like his sister? Why wasn’t he angry when he heard that his sister had been kidnapped and humiliated by having a stinky sock stuffed in her mouth? Why didn’t he show concern for his sister?

If he was concerned about his sister, he wouldn’t act like this now.

Kyle recalled how Leon Keane had looked at his phone earlier, as if he had already put them behind him, all because of Ivana. She had taken Mister Kane away, which was why he had become like this.

Kyle felt both miserable and hateful.

Julia had a puzzled expression. She had just felt Leon Keane’s concern for her; why did he suddenly change?

Did he have nothing to say to her?

Was he really in such a hurry to leave?

Julia felt terribly upset, suddenly remembering what Kyle had said, that Leon Keane was being forced, and that Ivana and Leon Keane only had a contractual marriage.

Once more, Julia regained her confidence.

Leon Keane’s footsteps passed by her side.

Julia suddenly leaned her body, and Leon Keane naturally caught her. In his embrace, she smelled the pleasant scent of the man she liked, which immediately made her heart flutter and her eyes look dreamy.

"Sister." Kyle was startled.

Kyle ran over anxiously.

Leon Keane’s handsome face was expressionless. The moment Julia fell, he had instinctively wanted to dodge, but the room wasn’t large, and he was a beat slower, so Julia fell into his arms.

Leon Keane didn’t like Julia’s touch. Seeing Kyle coming over, he handed the woman in his arms back to Kyle.

"Huh? I don’t know what’s happening; I’m so dizzy, and everything is pitch black. Leon, is it nighttime now?"

Julia hugged Leon Keane’s tall body, ignoring the shame as she nestled against him. Feeling that Leon wanted to hand her over to Kyle, she held tighter, like a delicate, pitiful woman.

In almost thirty years, she’d never been as happy as she was at this moment.

Julia was more determined than ever to win Leon Keane back.

Nothing is more honest than the body.

She had a chemistry reaction when she was in Leon Keane’s arms that no other man could give her, not even Jack Quinn.

She’s always only loved one person, Leon Keane.

"Sister, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me; I’ll go find a doctor."

Kyle’s face was filled with panic, and he said to Leon Keane, "Mr. Kane, please help take care of my sister here; I’ll go out and find a doctor right away."

Leon Keane: "..."

Leon wanted to ask Kyle to help Julia to the bed while he went to find the doctor, but Kyle had already run out of the room.

Leon Keane furrowed his brow tightly. He could only help Julia onto the bed.

Kyle should be back soon with the doctor!

Leon Keane thought this way.

Kyle ran out of the hospital room, and the urgency on his face vanished, his mouth curving with satisfaction as he softly said, "Mr. Kane, just stay in the room and take good care of my sister. I can’t stand you going back to accompany that wretched wife of yours."

Kyle ran into the men’s restroom, closed the toilet lid, and sat on it comfortably playing with his phone.

About ten minutes passed.

No doctor had come in yet.

Leon Keane’s brow furrowed so tightly it was almost knotted, and he picked up his phone to call Kyle, but no one answered on Kyle’s end.

Leon Keane pressed his lips together, his dark eyes suddenly looking toward Julia on the bed.

Julia felt the suspicious gaze of Leon Keane, making her extremely nervous inside, but she dared not show it on her face. With a dry mouth, she said, "Leon, where’s Kyle calling the doctor? Why hasn’t he come? I’m very dizzy and very thirsty. Could you pour me a glass of water?"

Leon Keane withdrew his gaze and gave a slight "Mm."

Julia watched Leon get up to really pour her water, feeling relieved and sweet inside.

She loved to see her crush pouring water for her.

Leon Keane poured water into a transparent glass cup and brought it to Julia’s bedside.

Julia saw Leon Keane’s long, well-defined fingers, swallowed, and had a bold idea to hold his hand and feel the warmth.

Julia reached out to take it, but before she could grasp it, Leon suddenly let go.

This was Kyle’s hospital room, Kyle’s hospital bed. If the glass spilled, the water would directly drench Kyle’s bed, soaking the sheets and quilt.

Without thinking much, Julia hurriedly caught it.
