Chapter 693
Not knowing what Heather was up to this time, Leon looked at her doubtfully and had a hunch that she
was up to no good. Heather didn’t want to continue hiding things from Leon, so she told him the whole
story while he stared at her in a daze as he listened to her explanation.
“Heather, I can’t believe you’ll actually do such a thing.” Leon couldn’t understand her at all. Despite the
close relationship between Heather and Robert, she shouldn’t use her marriage as a means to fulfill her
filial obligations.
“I don’t want Grandpa to die with regrets.” Heather thought about the past. Although she had
contributed a lot to the Langstons, what Robert had given her was even more.
The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt. Robert was already on the brink of death, and
yet she hadn’t properly repaid his kindness.
“Heather, since you care for your grandfather so much, why don’t you go and find some renowned
doctors? Maybe some of them will be able to save him.” Leon just couldn’t comprehend Heather’s
thoughts.
This could be due to cultural differences; just like how Leon couldn’t understand Heather, the same
goes for Heather as she couldn’t comprehend Leon’s family values.
“Grandpa’s private doctor is one of the top doctors in the world. I have no idea where to find a more
skillful doctor than him,” Heather mumbled in despair.
Robert had always cared a lot about his health. He didn’t mind spending a hefty sum just to hire the
most outstanding doctors in the world. He had paid great attention to his health throughout the years
but the result was less than satisfactory.
In fact, Heather was aware of Robert’s health condition all this while. To think about it, it wasn’t
surprising that his condition was deteriorating. Robert had once said that he had overworked himself
when he was young, and hence he was aging rapidly.
“Heather, I believe you’d understand this more than me. Different fields require different specialists.
Even if Old Master Langston’s doctor is the top in the world, it’s impossible for him to be a specialist in
every single field. There must be other doctors who are more skillful than him in certain aspects,” Leon
continued advising Heather. He was actually an optimistic person when it came to certain situations.
Seeing how hard Leon was trying to persuade her, Heather wore a bright smile. She understood that
Leon had a point, but she just wanted to try her best at times like these––one would never know if they
never tried.
“Are you willing to search for famous doctors with me?” In the past, Heather preferred doing things by
herself, but now, she actually enjoyed being accompanied.
“Since I’m always free, of course!” Leon nodded non-stop. He was indeed a dedicated back-burner. In
fact, he seemed to be addicted to being a back-burner. He had just given up the opportunity to become
Heather’s partner, yet he gladly agreed to all sorts of requests from her.
“Are you planning to leave again?” Leon felt uneasy being stared at by Heather’s sharp eyes. Once
again, she had seen through him.
Leon scratched his head. “You know me. I can’t stay at a place for more than 3 months.” This was such
a lame excuse that even Leon despised himself inwardly.
“Take the opportunity to go around the world with me then.” Heather found an objective for herself
again. Moreover, it was a perfect reason to leave Bradfort City.
Leon nodded. After all, it would be nice to leave Bradfort City at this moment. Whenever he was
reminded that his whole family had moved to Bradfort City, he didn’t feel like staying in the city at all.
“But…” Leon still had concerns. He felt guilty whenever he thought of Matthias. Until now, he could
remember the last gaze Matthias darted at him, and he thought Heather should at least be more
considerate toward Matthias’ feelings.
“What?” Heather looked at Leon in puzzlement as she didn’t understand what he meant. It didn’t sound
like a favorable turning point.
“Heather, do you really not plan to give Matthias an explanation?” Leon just couldn’t understand why
Heather would want to treat Matthias like this. If he was in Matthias’ shoes, he wouldn’t be able to
handle it.
Looking at Leon, Heather had no idea how to explain to him. Indeed, outsiders might think she was
being too much, but she had her own opinions and secrets that she was keen on keeping to herself.
“If it’s true love, the right person will stick to the end.” Heather didn’t wish to explain more to Leon, so
she made an ambiguous remark.
Leon was rendered speechless as he stared at Heather. He didn’t want to refute after hearing what she
said but he just thought she was overly optimistic.
“Heather, I think there’s no harm to at least drop Matthias some hints,” Leon continued advising
Heather kindheartedly. There was nothing he could do with Heather, so he could only persuade her
gently from the side.
Heather darted a glance at Leon impatiently. Why does he keep putting in a good word for Matthias as
if what he said before this was merely empty talk? Does he really see Matthias as his love rival?
Nevertheless, Leon stopped speaking after seeing Heather’s attitude. He didn’t understand why
Heather had to keep seeking trouble for herself. Back then, he had ruined the possibility between him
and Heather, so he didn’t hope Heather would do the same for her and Matthias.
“Leon, things between Matthias and I are not as simple as it seems. Not everyone can love freely,”
Heather said in resignation.
Robert had long eyed the Locke Family. In fact, he had shown Heather some information regarding the
Lockes. Until today, no one knew the motive of Matthias coming to Bradfort City, so Heather didn’t wish
to become intimate with her family’s rival. The love story between Romeo and Juliet was lamentable;
