64 We Need to Talk


    "Okay." Julian pulled his phone out with a nkexpression, and Amelia was finally panicked..


    ""Wait a minute!" Amelia looked at me, visibly upset. "Are you crazy?"


    words echoed in my


    "I think you''re the crazy one. Do you have any idea what you''re doing?" I took a step forward. and looked at Leonard, who was still unconscious. All of a sudden, mind. What was so good about Leonard? Why were all thedies getting crazy over someone like him?Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    All thedies Leonard got involved with were like this, and so was Lily. And now, even Amelia acted the same.


    I looked at Amelia, and my expression was devoid of emotions. "Let him go and let the hospital staff perform tests on him. Otherwise, we''re calling the police."


    Leonard hadn''t sobered uppletely. I wasn''t going to do anything to Amelia. If he regained consciousness and acted crazily again, I would just be the jerk again.


    "No. That''s not happening! I won''t let go. Leonard loves me. He''s mine!" Amelia staggered. Her eyes remained fixed on me, but she fell to the floor.


    It was aplete mess by the ward door. At that moment, Mr. Harmon Senior rushed over here with his men. I paid no mind to the Harmons. Instead, I asked Julian to hurry up and perform tests on Leonard. "What trouble have you stirred up again, Eva?" Ivy looked at me with a displeased expression. She even intended to stop the doctor, but Mr. Harmon Senior''s men blocked her.


    Mr. Harmon Senior stared at me profoundly. "What''s happening?"


    "Amelia drugged Leonard with hallucinogen. It might make him addicted."


    Bob and Ivy swapped nces when they heard what I said. They remained quiet, hatching some plots that were only known to them.


    Leonard''s luck had been rottentely. He was drugged and exposed to radiation, and he even got beaten up. I cast my nce to the ward and looked at him with a mix of emotions.


    I felt somewhat guilty, too. It was true. I was partly responsible for what Leonard turned into.


    I didn''t say anything when Mr. Harmon Senior''s men took Amelia away. It didn''t concern me if she ended up dead or alive. If Leonard was gung-ho about protecting her, there was nothing I could say as well. Mr. Harmon Senior ordered the bodyguards to lock down the entire floor as everyone quietly


    staff got it.


    waited for Leonard''s test result. Two hourster, the hospital"


    "It is a hallucinogen. There are some knockout drugs as well. Also, the essential oils were probably spiked. I managed to find out that Amelia studied psychology and picked up some questionable skills in Erewhon."


    Julian was still wearing a nk expression, but there was some trace of excitement in his eyes. "I didn''t think this type of drug could alter someone''s memories. I''vee to realize that Amelia is something of a genius when ites to this area." Julian raised his head and quickly shut his mouth when he saw how speechless I was.


    "How will this drug affect Leonard, doc?" Mr. Harmon Senior coughed lightly and stared at Julian intensely. "Will he recover from it? Will it damage his brain?"


    Bob seemed to have caught some key information and quickly took a step forward. "Exactly. Will he have to rely on drugs that will affect his brain? Won''t Harmon Group drown in negative feedback if we let someone like him take over?"


    "That''s not going to happen. We just have to let his body metabolize it, and support him with: medication and rehabilitation." Julian pushed his ss. "My mentor is studying the drug''sponents as we speak. I''ll wager he''lle up with a solution within two days." I let out a sigh of relief when I heard what Julian said.


    "Let''s call the police, then. We should let them handle the case." I didn''t know how many tricks Amelia had up her sleeves, but Leonard would be done for if she actually fed these drugs


    to him.


    If there were some drugponents in there and Leonard took them on a long-term basis, he might very well pass out and be mentally ill the next time he ingested it.


    All of a sudden, Emilia hurried over and whispered something in Mr. Harmon Senior''s ear. His expression shifted dramatically as he asked, "Are you sure?"


    Emilia nodded solemnly, and Mr. Harmon Senior fell silent for several seconds before he turned around and looked at me. "Don''t call the police first, Eva. We need to talk."
