At nightfall, Leon receives a message from Yola. Then, she left the house after changing her clothes.
He saw a white Porsche Cayenne parked at the community entrance from a distance. Dressed in plain clothes, Yola waited while pacing around the car.
"Mr Leon, we're late. Let's talk in the car." Yola waved at him for him to get into the passenger seat. They then headed straight to Likuan City Hospital.
Realizing that his mood was bad, Leon asked, "What happened?"
"My father planned to send my mother to a mental hospital early, which is tonight," Yola said without turning her head. He looked choked and his tears were flowing.
Leon regained his senses and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm here. Your mother will be healed."
Yola said nothing while forcing a smile. In reality, he had accepted his destiny. The reason why he came to Leon was because he had agreed during the day to take him to the hospital.
...
After chatting, Leon learns that Yola's father is Roland Parker while her mother is Maya.
By driving at a very high speed, they arrived at the hospital in 20 minutes. Yola takes Leon rushing to a ward on the third floor of the hospital.
They saw a man and a woman standing outside the ward. The man was about 40 years old with a square face that looked resolute. Meanwhile, the woman was over 20 years old. She wears thick makeup and the way she dresses is very revealing. They hugged each other near the seat at the entrance.
After witnessing that, Yola experienced a change in expression and immediately walked over. He said as he pointed towards the trash woman in Roland's arms, "Dad, who is he?"
Roland immediately lowered the woman in his arms and looked panicked. "His name is Salsa Steele and she's my secretary. You can call her Aunt Salsa."
In contrast to Roland's panic, Salsa looked calm. He smiled flirtatiously and looked at Yola as if to challenge her.
"Salsa Aunt? Why don't I just call her 'mother?" Yola sneered as anger filled her pretty face.
Roland frowned and said, "What kind of attitude is that? Your mother is mentally ill. It's ridiculous that I'm not allowed to marry again!"
Yola shuddered at hearing that. He would not take a step back. He said while looking pale, "Married again? Oh wow, I'm alive and you're looking for a mistress. Please stop that ridiculous hope. It won't happen as long as you're alive."
"Omong empty!"
In anger, Roland stretched out his hand to slap her.
Yola remained silent with a strong determination as she watched the slap come while biting her lips. Tears flowed from the corner of her eye. He thought bitterly, 'Please. This is not the first time I have been beaten. You better beat me to death. That way, you can be with the madam officially'.
A ray of excitement flashed in Salsa's eyes.
Just before Roland's hand landed on Yola's face, a large hand suddenly grabbed her. Roland's surprised. He looked at Leon who was behind Yola and demanded with a deadly expression on his face, "Who are you?"
"You don't deserve to know who I am. All you need to know is that cruelty is not allowed under my watch!" Leon smiled calmly.
Yola glanced at Leon with gratitude and introduced him to Roland coldly, "He is my friend and he is here to treat Mother."
"Friends? I think she's more like your boyfriend!"
Salsa, who was standing at the side, laughed out loud at that moment. "He's here to treat? Yola, it's not like I want to tease you. Your mother's sick, but I can't believe you have a mistress to fool us."
He watched Leon with disdain on his face as he spoke, "However, your standards might be too low. I can't believe you got a poor man to be your mistress..."
Plakk!
A slap landed hard on his cheek before he even finished speaking. He fell to the floor because of the impact.
Roland was stunned at that moment, while Yola covered her red lips with her hands. Her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.
Salsa looked at Leon regretfully while covering her aching cheek. "How dare you slap me?"
Leon grinned and showed his white teeth. "You ******. If you say that word again, do you believe that I will kill you too?"
Even though he was smiling, there was a strong chill in his words.
"You.. you..."
Salsa opened her mouth but she did not dare to continue her condemnation as she had a faint feeling that the young man before her might actually kill her if she behaved the way she did before.
Roland, who had jolted back to his senses, said while glaring furiously at Leon, "B-how dare you slap him? Do you know who I am?"
"I don't care who you are, but you'll end up like him if you don't keep your mouth shut, too." Leon glared at her.
Roland angrily said as he looked at Yola, "Look at this man you are dating. Did you bring him here to bother me?"
"I'm not dating him, and he's not my man" Yola explained.
She said with teary eyes as she realized that she was making matters between her and Leon worse, "I actually brought Mr. Leon here to treat Mother."
"You know better about your mother's condition than I do. We have seen famous doctors at home and abroad. Do you really think this brat can treat him?" Roland laughed out loud instead of getting angry.
Salsa criticized her coldly, "Could this brat be doing this because of your beauty, in hopes of getting closer to you?"
"No, it's not that."
Yola started to sob in panic. However, he found that his explanation was weak and unconvincing. After all, even he did not believe what he said.
Leon looked at Roland and said, "I can not only treat Yola's mother's illness, but I can also treat your HIV."
"W-what are you saying?"
Roland was stunned at first and started laughing out loud as if hearing something funny. "Did you say I have HIV?"
He is the senior director of an open company with hundreds of millions of assets. He was always clean and unkind. How could he have HIV?
Yola experienced a change in expression on her beautiful face. He immediately pulled the corner of Leon's shirt, "Master Leon, please don't talk nonsense."
He's starting to regret bringing Leon here now. How could he throw the topic of HIV?
"Look, he's a liar. He spoke about HIV as soon as he spoke. Why don't you tell me she has stage four cancer?" Salsa scoffed.
Leon glanced at her and said with a smile, "You have HIV too, but don't worry, I won't help you both."
"Mr Leon, please stop talking." Yola almost cried from worry. Never did he think that Leon would be so ridiculous.
Seeing him like that, Leon said after sighing, "Forget it. Let's treat your mother first."
He entered the ward as he spoke.
Roland stopped him immediately. "Who let you in? Get out now, or I'll get people to kick you out."
A fierce glint flashed in Leon's eyes. Roland was completely frozen. He stood still as if he had turned into stone.
"W-what did you do to her?" Salsa has a change in expression. Before he finished speaking, his body also froze.
Seeing that Yola had fear all over her face. "T-Master Leon..."
